UNhlamulo ongunogada e-Phalaborwa uthe amakati amakhulu abonakale ezulazula emgwaqeni.
“Ngibikelwe umshayeli wetekisi ukuthi abantu babone amabhubesi amabili. Izindaba zamabhubesi zisabalale emini futhi lokho kudale ukwethuka kumalungu omphakathi,” kusho uNhlamulo etshela i-Scrolla.Africa.
Uthe banesizathu esihle sokwesaba njengoba sekuke kwabikwa ngokuhlasela kwamabhubesi kaningi kule ndawo eminyakeni edlule.

UKalla uthe “kuye kwabhekwa kodwa awabonwa amabhubesi. Kodwa-ke, kutholwe umlobo webhubesi futhi ithrekhi ilandeliwe yabafikisa kwesinye seziqiwi eziseduze. Kuthintwe zonke iziqiwi zacelwa ukuthi zibhekisise izincingo zazo futhi zibale amabhubesi azo.
