Exifundzheni xa Gauteng, Afrika Dzonga switsotswani swiendla 5% ya swakudya swa xona, kasi eKenya switsotswani swiendla kwalomu ka 50 - 70% ya swakudya swaxona. Xinwana xa switsotswana leswi dyiwaka ngopfu I muhlwa. Loko muhlwa wutshuka wukumekile xiwudya xinga tirhisi mavoko. Kahle kahle kudyiwa ngopfu switsotswani, mihandzu, matluka, minkolombyani, matandza na swinyenyani.

Endzhaku kotswala lexa xisati xita sukela vana ehenhla ka nsinya kuya lava swakudya. Xihadyani lexi xina masi ya kahle swinene lawa xinyikaka vana vaxona. Xihadyani lexi xitswala kan’we ntsena hilembe laha kunga tlhuma swinene. Hambi leswi kungana swiviko swaleswaku xitshama xirikarhi xitswala lembe hinkwaro kambe aswina nguva yotswala. Swisaka swohlayisela vana swiendliwa laha kunga tlhuma swinene. N’wana un’we watswariwa hinkarhi laha mahahlwa ya kalaka swinene. Vana vasungula kulumuriwa loko kusungula nguva leyi kunga oma. Vana lava vasungula kutihandzela endzaku ka 4 - 5 wa mavhiki loko vatswariwile. Rimbewu hinkwaro riva rilulamele masangu loko riri na 20 wa mavhiki.
