Xidorobani Lexintsongo xo Saseka
Ribye leringa huma roka ringa tsakisi ri kunguhatiwe kuva ndzhawu yintshwa leyingatava ya vuyeni. Xiphemu xo sungula xa vuaki lebyi axi fanele xi pfuriwile hi 2009 laha akutava kuri na hofisi ya vuxokoxoko, ndzhawu yikulu ya nkombiso laha kunga hoxiwa na Dome, ndzhawu yo xavisela eka yona laha kungata xavisiwa swilo leswi endliwaka ekusuhi na laha vaxavisaka swotimula torha na swo hlangula enon’weni.
