'Ngijabule Kanjalo'
Amakhasimende esevisi yasekamelweni a-oda iwayini ngengilazi kufanele alethwe ibhodlela njengoba iwayini lithelwa ekamelweni, futhi amakhasimende e-bar noma indawo yokuphumula kufanele anikezwe ngokuzenzakalelayo "okungenani izinhlobo ezimbili zokudla okulula kwekhwalithi ephezulu," ngokusho komhlahlandlela.
