Umzimba ungokwemvelo futhi ungaphansi kokufa nokubola, kodwa umoya awunakunqotshwa futhi awufi. Ngesikhathi sokuphila umoya uhlala emzimbeni, abanye bakholelwa ukuthi usezinhliziyweni, abanye bekhanda, kodwa umbono ovamile ukuthi unelungelo lomzimba wonke.

Ukuze uvimbele lokhu, umzimba uphathwa ngemithi ekhethekile kanye nokugada okugcinwe kuyo kuze kube sekungcwabeni. Ngemuva kwemihlangano yomngcwabo yokugcina eseqediwe, umoya uhamba futhi uqhubeke, abanye bakholwe, ekhaya lasendulo eNtsuanatsatsi noma, abanye bakholwa, ekhaya elisezulwini. Imimoya ingaba yinto enesihluku noma enomusa. Kungenxa yalesi sivuno esingokomoya ukuthi umkhuba wokukhulekela okhokho ususelwe.
