Umthimba lo omutsha owawusubuthelelwe esigabeni saseMapate wawusungomunye umthimba ongaselani lomkhosi weKhisimusi. Yabuya njalo ingqwele yakhwaza ngelithi iKhisimusi le babeyiqalele kwelaseRhodesia, babezayiqedisa elizweni leBotswana.
Kwasekuyinsuma nsumane yendaba-ke leyo. Kwasekutheni bevele bezahamba njani pho. Amajaha eganga asuka angena evinkilini lapho athenga khona okunathwayo kodwa bengakaze bathenge baqala bendlala udaba lwabo lwabasobala lakuMakhonjwa indoda yomlungu eyayithengisa evinkilini lapha.
Injongo emqoka kwakuyikulwela umhlabathi wabansundu ababewuthathelwe ngeganyavu kanti njalo akukho okunye ababekuphethe ngaphandle kohlamvu lombhobho. Amajaha eganga lawa ayelesibindi esimangalisayo, besuka lapho batshiya bebhale incwadi bebhalela isitha sabo ngelithi bona basebethethe okungokwabo njalo nxa ibutho labamhlophe lilesifiso sokulandela bakwenze lokhu besazi ukuthi abafana bomhlabathi babalindile phambili ngale.
