Nakuba ulwazi lwasemkhunjini lokuhamba ngomkhumbi emfuleni nolwandle luhlanganyela ngokufana okuthile, ubukhulu bemikhumbi kanye nalokho ekunikezayo kuyiphuzu elikhulu lomehluko. Nakuba imikhumbi ehamba olwandle ingathwala abagibeli abaphakathi kuka-500 no-3500, izikebhe zasemfuleni azivamile ukuthatha ngaphezu kwama-200 futhi zingaba zincane zibe ngu-20 noma 30 kuphela.
Akhiwe futhi phansi emanzini ukuze adlule ngaphansi kwamabhuloho asendulo nawenkathi ephakathi, akwazi ukuma maphakathi namadolobhana amancane imikhumbi emikhulu engakwazi ukufinyelela kuwo.

Amachibi okubhukuda ayivelakancane, nakuba ukufunwa kwabagibeli kwenza ezinye izinkampani zithuthukise imikhumbi.
Ibhonasi enkulu yokuhamba ngomfula ukungabikho kwamathenda (ukudluliselwa komkhumbi kuya ogwini ngezikebhe ezincane), njengoba izikebhe zifika enkabeni yedolobha namadolobhana, okwenza kube nokwenzeka ngabagibeli ukuthi bahambe noma behle lapho beziphumulele. ukuyohlola.
Emaqenjini amakhulu lokhu kungaba i-godsend; uma abanye abantu bengathandi ukukhokhisa, noma befuna ukwenza okuthile okuhlukile, bangakwazi ukwenza izinto zabo ngokukhululeka. Ngokuqondene nesifo solwandle, lokhu akuyona inkinga ekuhambeni komfula, ngisho nakumuntu oqalayo ongasazi isimo semilenze yabo yasolwandle.
