Kudala kwakukhona intombazane eyayinezifiso eziphakeme kakhulu empilweni. Bengifuna ukwenza okuthile okuzoshiya uphawu.
Ngolunye usuku Wathatha indwangu futhi waqala ukudweba. Isifo sohlangothi ngasinye asithathayo besingcono kunesokugcina. Ekugcineni waqedela umsebenzi omuhle. Intombazane yayiziqhenya ngesipho sayo.
Kodwa-ke, ngokushesha kwambamba ukukhathazeka okunamandla. Cha, kwakungekhona lokho ayekufuna. Wayefuna ukwenza okuthile okukhulu. Ngakho-ke wabheka okokugcina ngendwangu futhi waphuma elungele ukugxila kokunye ongakhetha kukho.
