Kwakhiwa

Tilulu takhiwa etihlahleni, akunandzaba kutsi tifikakuphi ngebudze kusuka kumashumi lamabili kuya kumashumi lasiphohlongo ngekuma ngetulu kwemhlaba, kepha kakhulu takhiwa etihlahleni letikhulu endzaweni, tikhula etindzaweni letinyukelako noma emkhatsini wematje, lapho khona lenyoni ikhona kahle kususa lesilulu sayo. Timbili tiba nasinye noma timbili tilulu, letitisebentisa iminyaka leminyenti uma kungasiwo munye, kepha kwentela kuhlangana lokuyimphumelelo lokwenteka kanye. Kunetindlela letinkhulu letisuka kutine kuya kuletisitfupha ngekuma kwekugabanca nekuma lokune ngekucina, phindze imise kwesinki uma iyinsha-futsi ivulekile kunekushona phansi. Takhiwe ngetintsi letindze kuya kuyinye nale iyihhafu ngema inchi, timiswe ngemacembe laluhlata. Tingasetjentiswa tinyoni letinengi iminyaka leminingi. Sikhatsi sekuhlangana singacala ngetindzawo letehlukene ngesikhatsi setimvula, tikhatsi letomile naticala, noma ekugcineni kwesikhatsi sesomiso, bese letinye tindzawo talesikhatsi tiyachubeka tiye esikhatsini setimvula. Kufukamela kwentiwa nguletinsikati, kepha lendvuna iyatiwa kutsi iyahlala nayo. Lelensikati ishiya silulu nayiyokudla futsi ayikavami kuphiwa ngulelendvuna esilulwini.
Lesikhatsi sekufukama singaba malanga lamashumi lamane nesihlanu. Lelencane ivame kubalula itatabuke nayisandza kutalwa, kepha ibeseiyangekuya ibenemandla emva kwemalanga lamashumi lamabili. Emva kwemalanga lamashumi lamatsatfu nakubili ibese iphuma tinsiba, bese tivala kahle lenyoni nase inemalanga lamashumi lasikhombisa. Lelencane iphiwa batali bobabili kudla ize ifike emalangeni lamashumi lasitfupha budzala, iba netimphiko letikahle, nayicala kubamba inyamatane yayo. Nayicala kundiza lelensikati isala eceleni noma esilulwini, bese lelendvuna ifuna kudla bese iyakuletsa. Lelensikati isala kulendzawo bese imukela kudla kulelendvuna emalanga lamashumi lasihlanu. Emva kwaloko lelensikati ifuna kudla bese ikuletsa esilulwini bese lelendvuna lengakavami iyavela. Lelencane iyanakwa ngemalanga ayo ekucala, kepha emva kwemalanga lalishumi nakune bese lelensikati ayisachubeki nekuyinaka ngaphandle kwasebusuku. Lenyoni lencane, emva kwekwenta kundiza kwayo kwekucala, (ngemalanga lalikhulu), ingabuyela iyophumula esilulwini emalangana, besekusuka lapho iyahamba kulesilulu. Ibese ihlala ikhweshile kulendzawo yesilulu sikhashana, futsi ingabonwa hhayi khashane kusuka etinyangeni letisitfupha.

Kutiphatsa kwato

Ingculungculu lenkhulu la Afrika, lenanyoni yetindzawo letilulile tase thornbush kanye nasetigangeni letitfolwa eAfrika yonkhana, letivela futsi nasetindzaweni letivulekile nasemahlandzeni. Le ngculungculu ye martial icitsa sikhatsi sayo ngesilinganiso lesingu 85% ngesikhatsi sayo lesiphumulile bese iphindze itsatsa ngentsatsa kusa (10 am).
