Uthe kuhle ukuthi abalimi benkomo zochago bakwazi imitshina okumele babelayo, ikakhulu le esetshenziswa nxa amathokazi ekhitshwa impondo.
“Abalimi kabahlale bephethe ulwazi njalo baludinge ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kulabo abakubhizimusi lokufuya inkomo zochago, sikhuthaza ukuthi basebenzise insimbi etshisayo nxa bekhipha impondo kumathokazi. Insimbi lezi kumele zitshiswe emlilweni njalo ekucineni kwensimbi kumele kube yisigombolozi ukuze yenele lapho okumila khona impondo, besebetshisa impondo ukuze zingaphindi zimile,” kutsho uMnu Muzunde.
“Abafuyi benkomo zochago bacetshiswa njalo ukuthi bakhuthalele ukukhipha amathokazi abo impondo ukwenzela ukuthi engalimazani njalo engalwi.

Phezulu kwalokhu, ukukhitshwa kwempondo kwenzelwa ukuthi inkomo zingalimazi muntu nxa zisengwa njalo lazo zingalimazani nxa sezisemadlelweni kumbe edibheni,” kutsho uMnu Muzunde.
