Leswi swi endla leswaku hlolwa leri ri hanya ngopfu etindzhawini leti kunga tala muhlwa lowu.
Eka vusiku byinwe hlolwa leri ringa dya kwalomu ka 200 000 – 300 000 wamuhlwa. Hiku tirhisa tindleve tarona leti twaka swinene, ri kota kutwa muhlwa nowu nantswa hi ririmi leri damarhelaka. Xiharhi lexi xi tiveka kambe hiku dya swinwana swihadyana swofana na makondlo, swinyenyani leswintsongo na matandza.
Kutswalana
Tani hileswi hlolwa ri fambaka roxe, ritlhela rinyuma aswitiveki kahle leswaku riti khoma njhani loko riri na manwani kambe ku tshembiwa leswaku emasangwini riya nkarhi wunwani na wunwani wa lembe. Ku tika ka rona switeka kwalomu ka 90-100 wa masiku naswona ritswala kwalomu ka 2-4 wa vana. Loko ritswarile vana, vatswari hivumbirhi kavona hivona va phamelaka vana hi vusokoti.
