Istjalwesi salethwa eSewula Africa sibuya e-England ngonyaka ka-1838 sasatjalaliswa ephasini loke lapha satjalwa engadini zetlhagwini –isitjalwesi sithanda ihlabathi enetjwayi kanye nespreyi selwandle. Amathuthumbo azele i-nectar erherha amaviyaviyani kanye neenunwana lokha iinthelo zithandwa zinyoni kanye nabantu lokha amakari waso athandwa zinlwane.
I-Isthelo se-apula i-Kei siyadleka sibambeka njengethuthumbo elinejuzi-efana neaperikosi. Livamise ukufakwa emasaladini weenthelo, senza ijemu ehle begodu isebenziswa ekwenzeni amakhekhe nanyana iinselo zeenthelo. Kuqatjangwa bona sine-asidi enengi bona singadliwa ngendlela singayo-i-apula le-kei lisikwa kuhle livuvuzelwe ngeswigiri ngaphambi kokobana lingadliwa. Isthelo se-Apulesi esingakavuthwa singakheniwa amakari waso enziwe ukudla kweenlwane. Isthelo sivuthwa ukusukela ngoRhoboyi ukuya kuSewula kuncono nawuwavuna ngobunengi (usebenzisa umukhwa) ukukhandela ukuvuleka kweskhumba.
I-apula le-kei alisabi isomiso kanye nombethe begodu likhula kuhle nalitjalwe ngembewu ebuthelelwe eenthelweni ezivuthiweko. Imbewu kufanele ihlanjwe yonyiswe ngaphambi kokuyitjala.
Ukwala Kwezemaphilo
Ilwazeli lenzelwe ukufundisa kwaphela begodu akukafaneli bona lisetjenziswe njengesiyeleliso sezepilo. Ilwazeli alikenzelwa ukujamiselela iinluleko zezepilo nanyana ukulatjhwa okunikelwa ngusiyazi wezepilo.
