Zinombala omlotha okukirekileko kanye nomgogodlha othanda ukuba nzinyana, amahlangothi anemida emhlophe eqarheke ngemida enzima. Zinomsila onzima ovamise ukuba mhlophe esiphethweni sawo kuthi iindlebe zona zibe nombala onzima okukirekileko.
Ukudla
Ukuphumelela nokuphila komhlobolo wesilwani kusemandleni wokuba mhlobo ogkhona ukudla imihlobohlobo yokudla, kanye nokutjhugulula lokho ekudlako ngokuya ngobujamo bebhuduluko. Ukudla kwayo kufaka hlangana iinrhwarhwa, iinlwanyana ezincani zomhlobo omunyisako, ingcuba, iinthelo, isiphila, iimbhadwa, amaqanda kanye neenyoni. Ipungutjha yomhlobo onemida emahlangothini ayisiyingozi ukudlula leyo enombala onzima emgogodlheni.Ukuzala nokukhulisa kwayo
Zijarhana phakathi kwenyanga kaMgwengweni kanye noVelabahlinze, kodwana kesinye isikhathi zingajarhana kesinye nesinye isikhathi sonyaka. Zizala iimdlwana emine ukuya kesithandathu phakathi kwenyanga kaRhoboyi kanye noSinyikhaba, ngemuva kwesikhathi sekambiso yokumitha esimalanga amasumi amahlanu nekhomba ukuya emasumini asithandathu nane (57-64).Zivamise ukukhulisela umudlwanazo eemgodini weemfarigi zomango kanye neethubini ezembekileko, lokhu zikwenza ngokusizana nomudlwana wonyaka ogadlulilekon. Zombili eduna nesikazi ziyasizana ukukhulisa iimdlwana ngokuyipha ukudla ngemva kokuyiphuhlisa ibele. Lokhu zikwenza ngokufunza iimdlwana ukudla nofana ngokuyihlanzela ukudla qobe ngeemva kwama-awara amabili ukuya kamathatha ubusuku boke.
