Inchazelo

Umgololo losemkhatsini ngelinani lonemphumulo lesandingilizi kanye nelifasitelo kulinye liso ngephansi. Libala liyahlukana; umhlane wawo ungaba mnyama, luhlata, nsundvu longatsi uyaphela noma bovu losa nsundvu, lonawo noma lote emacabhacabha. Kuhlale kukhona, imilayini lemhlophe leshona entasi kwemgogodla kanye nasetindzaweni letingetulu lebonakalako. Lesisu siluhlata losasibhakabhaka nalokumhloshana.

Kukhula kwawo kuyaphangisa futsi lemincane ifika esigabeni sekukhula natinenyanga yesiphohlongo.

Kudla Kwayo

Tintsetse, tibungu temavivane kanye nemuhlwa, tayobe, esikhatsini lesinye, idla lamanye emanwabu noma imigololo.

Luhla Loluhlanganisiwe

Kuvama kubalukhuni kuwabekisa ngenca yekuhluka kwemibala yawo, lekepha leligama, lena nguyinye yaleminye leyatiwako futsi lesakatekile kumigololo.
