Owakhula ebona uninakhulu oyisikhwishikhwishi esikholelwa kumakhambi emvelo uhamba ezinyathelweni zakhe ngendlela yesimanje. Uxoxe noLANGA KHANYILE

INTOMBAZANE yasemajukujukwini aseXobho, eningizimu yeKwaZulu-Natali, ikhula ayikhumbuli ibona kudliwa amaphilisi futhi kuphuzwa imithi kubo. Empeleni uninakhulu wale ntombazane namuhla esiyintokazi wayeyihebeza indaba yemithi yesilungu.

Intombi endala eyakhulisa uNks uLouise Dlungwana, oganele kwaMdluli kodwa osebenzisa isibongo sakubo ngezizathu zebhizinisi, yayingagcini nje ngokushaya amakhala ngemithi yodokotela kodwa futhi yayithaka amakhambi emvelo bese idayisela abanye abantu.

“Ugogo wayewuzulaziyithole. Ugogo wayedayisa empeshenini. Wayebilisa insangu ayifake kuma-container bese eyidayisa njengesiphuzo. Sikhule (ekhaya) bethi imithi yesilungu ayilungile. Uma unenkinga yesikhumba ‘uthatha ibovu, ugcobe ibovu, uma (uqothukelwa) yizinwele, thatha la mafutha ugcobe’. Ngikhule ngibona ukuthi ugog’ wami kuyamsebenzela. Ekhaya akekho umuntu onenkinga yempilo, siphila impilo enhle nje,” kulanda le ntokazi eke ikhulume kuKhozi FM.

Uthi abantu besilisa banenhlanhla ngoba abakaze bangene shi ogibeni lokusebenzisa imithi yesikhumba yesilungu.

Banekhambi labantu besilisa abajulukayo; bakhiqiza insipho ethakwe ngelahle. “Senza namafutha ezinwele. Uma izinwele zakho zoma, uma izinwele zingakhuli, sinawo amafutha emveljo. Sisebenzisa i-avocado oil, i-castor oil, i-tea tree oil; i-tea tree oil ilapha isikhumba esomile. I-avocado oil eyokuqinisa izinwele.

UNks uDlungwana uthi isinengiso iCOVID-19 sibe yisibusiso kuyena. Yenza kwashintsha indlela abantu abamnyama abaningi ababuka imikhiqizo yamakhambi ngayo. “Kwafika iCOVID-19. Abantu baqala ukukholelelwa kwimIhlonyane… ukuzilapha. Ngabona ithuba lokuthi isiphumile le nto yokuthi abantu bathenge into esitolo ukuze babone kuthi ingcono. Yilapho ibhizinisi lami likhule khona, ngathatha ulwazi ekade nginalo ngalenza isimanje, ngafaka amalebula, ngaqala ngethula ibhizinisi lami, laqala (lenza) kahle.

“Nasesikoleni ngifundele i-marketing. Ngivele ngasebenza into yami, ngasebenza yona,” kusho yena ephubuka ehleka. Le nto ihambisana nothando. Ngeke uyenze ungenalo uthando.
