Ndiyaqonda ukuba akuko luswazi buhlungu kubantu bakowetu abangavumiyo ukuhlaulela amapepa abo njengokuba ebanjwe xa bengahlauliyo. Abanye abahlobo bam bebesebekalele besiti abasakubasalitabata boyiswa bunandi (batsho) bepepa. Ndiyavuya ukuti sebebuye bangena. Omnye umzalwana ulila kuba engatunyelwanga ipetshana yedwa lokumkumbuza ukuba ixesha lifikile. Lomhlobo, kakade, akakolwa, akaneliswa kwakona sisaziso esingaba siyafakwa epepeni. Omnye umzalwana ukulele kwapela. Manditi mhlope lemali ibizwa ngelipepa incinane kanye yenziwe ngabom ukubanjalo ukuze irolwe ngabo bonke, irolwe ngexesha ukuze incede. Ongayiroliyo ngexesha—oko kukuti kwangapambili makazi ukuba ayiyifezi indawo yayo yokuhlaula abashicileli, abasebenzi, namapepa nezitampu. Xa bonke beyakuhlaula emva kwexesha wohamba nganina umsebenzi. Mawangalwi amatu ngokubanjwa kwamapepa. Sikumbuzo kodwa. Kuko inkolo yokuba ezityalikeni intshumayelo zintlobo mbini. Ziko ezihambisa umxolo welizwi zona ezingaze kazekani nezenzo zabantu—ezi zishunyayelwa ku Mangesi; ezo zizekazekana nezenzo zabantu nentlalo yabo ezindlwini napandle zezimele abantsundu. Isizatu sokubanje—esona—ndisive ndoyiseka mna ngomnye wamadyakana akowewetu, ote yena akasoze ashumayele ezi kutiwa zipendla ilizwi intshumayelo kwa- bantsundu kuba izenzo zabo zonke zihamba pandle kanti eza Mangesi azibonakali. Yiyo lonto lenjiwanje ilizwi. Mabafihle izono abo bazenzayo nentshumayelo azikudlaesiqwini kubo. Kunjanike? *** Bangake bandicebise na abantu bakowetu ngeyonanto iyakuba luncedo ukupelisa isiko apa elindihlanzisa nokwezolo mna? Nditeta eli likwintsapo vakowetu lokuti xa uhamba ngendlela umane ucelwa'umlilo,' 'uncazwa' zezizilekehlana. ' Ondip'umlilo! ' Ubekiswe kum ndikwele ehasheni ngaleveki idluleyo, ndapantsa ndawa isiduli ngumsiudo ofaneleyo. Obuye watsho kum ndiyeva ukuba ndiya oh, mandiyeke. Lento kodwa mayipeliswe. Ilisiko elibi.
