Mirhi wu sirheleriwile hi xisirhelelo xa dzovo ra rimbangwa, lexi hambanisaka xipisisi lexi eka swikharwa swinwana ehandle ka mombo akuna dzovo enhlokweni kumbe ekhwirini, nale ndzeni ka milenge.Tinomboro to sungula na to hetelela ti hungutiwile, loko tinomboro tale xikarhi na minwala ti akekile leswaku yita cela kahle. Milenge yale mahlweni na yona yi komile ku tlula milenge yale ndzhaku. Xi va na ncila lowu bumbuleke emasungulweni wuna makumu ya xirhendzevutana.
Swakudya
Tanihiloko Xikhwarhwa xi dyaka ntsena switswotswana, ku kumeka ka masokoti na majhenjhe swi endla leswaku kuva nivu hlayiseki, swin’wana leswi endlaka leswaku kuva ni vukona I ku kumeka ka mincele kumbe vutshamo byi n’wana. Swi dya ngopfu masokoti.Swikhwarhwa swi vonaka kuva swiri swihari leswi hlawulaka swinene, swi dya ntsena masokoti na majenje. Swi kuma swakudya hiku nhuwetela, hambikuri hansi ka misava. Loko swi kumile swakundya, mincele yi pfuriwa kahle hi matino male mathlelo.
250mm yi tirhisiwa tanihi xitirho xo hlengeleta swakudya hiku nghenisa matino eminceleni ya majhenje. Loko xi humesa kuva ku tele swakudya leswi hlotiweke leswi hlengeletiwaka enon’wini.
Madyelo lama ma endliwa ka 90 evusikwini byi n’we, naswona kudya swi teka minete yin’we tanihiloko swi ngari na matino, misava leyi mitiwaka na swakudya leswi humesiweke swi pfuna ku nghenisa swakudya enon’wini.
Ku Veleka
Xikharhwa swi endla swi phaphatani masiku ma 1-2 hi Nyenyakulu. Ku hlangana swi humelela hi tlhelo hi tlhelo, wanuna u nghenisa ncila wa yena ehansi ka wansati. Wansati u bebula n’wana wun’we endzhaku ko tika masiku ya 135.Ku veleka swi humelela hi Mawuwani kumbe Mawuri. Vana va mamiseriwa entangheni, lani va siyiwaka kona loko wansati aya eku hloteni. N’wana u talaku yisiwa entangeni lowuntshwa endzhaku ka n’hweti yo sungula Mahanyelo. Xikharhwa xini switirhiso swa kahle swoti sirhelela.
Xikharhwa xati tsondzela loko xi chuwhiseriwa. Xikharhwa xa Arboreal xiti tsondzela xiti endla bolo encinyeni na vusiku loko xitlela. Swina xipireyi xo nhuwa ku fana na xitlen’wana lexi tirhisiwaka ku cela valala.
Xikharhwa xi kota ku famba hi milenge hinkwayo ya mune, kambe loko swi lava rivilo swi yima hi mimbirhi swi tirhisa na ncila wa swona wo leha ku pfuneta. Swi tsutsuma rivilo ro ringana 5km hi awara.
