Emaswati emandvulo bekangayati intfo lekutsiwa ngumshado. Nanyalo nje basekhona labo lababambelele emasikweni bangeke nani bavumele bantfwababo bashade.

Lokumangalisako nyalo kutsi bantfu ubatfola sebenta konkhe. Bayashada babuye bagidzise umtsimba ingani phela nobe angatsi umuntfu sewuphumile emasikweni ngobe abucaba kepha ngekhatsi kuye kukhona kutsi ungumuntfu futsi uyohlala angumuntfu kudzimate kufike ekugcineni kwemalanga ekuphila kwakhe. Lamalanga bantfu sebenta sijabane. Bashada bagidze ungati kutsi seyini lemboza labayentako

N g e S i s w a t i kugidza umtsimba kungumsimeto we k umu k e lwa kwamakoti ngalokusemtsetfweni ekhakhakhe. Ngekwemhambo makoti ucelwa asekubo kepha k u l a m a l a n g a ugidza savele ahlala ekhakhakhe. K u g c o t j i s w a kwemfati ngelibovu ngusona sifungo lesisemtsetfweni sekumhlanganisa neb e k h a k h a k h e lapho sebayawuhlukaniswa kufa kuphela. Indzawo lenakekelwa kakhulu nakugcotjiswa libovu buso. NgeSiswati umuntfu ubitwa ngekutsi ungumfati wabani nasagcotjiswe libovu ngulabo labafanele bekhakhakhe.

Umuntfu lomsikati bekeva buhlungu lobuphindziwe nangabe angamtfoli lotamteka. Intfombatane beyikhula vele yati kutsi kumele iyokwendza naseyikhulile.

Ngekwemtsetfo nemhambo we- Siswati umfati ugcotjiswa libovu kanye. Lelo bovu aliphindzi nani ligezwe kepha ngekusho kwaBabe Jim Gama, babe wemfati angaligeza lelo bovu nangabe laba labamgcobisa lomntfwanakhe bakwenta loku ngendlela lengekho emtsetfweni. Laba labateka lomfati lonjalo bahlatjelwa inkhomo yekuvimba inhlamba kutsi bangamtfuki laba layowendza kubo. Umfati nasagcotjiswe libovu ngisho noma angaze ahlukane nendvodza yakhe ngekuvumelana kwemindeni angeke nani aphindze agcotjiswe libovu embili. Lokwentekako nangabe sayogana embili, umane agcotjiswe liphehlake lokungenani esikhundleni salelibovu. Phela nangabe makoti agidza umtsimba kunetingoma takhona letihambelana nalesimo. Ingoma letayelekile nalevame kakhulu kuba ngunayi lengentasi.

Umtsimba ungenisa ngaLesihlanu ebusuku, ufike uniketwe indlu lotawuhlala kuyo. Ekuseni ngembulukusa uya emfuleni lapho uhlaba imbuti khona kantsi phela vele nanawo usuke kukhona lote nako. Imisimeto leyentiwe ekhaya lakubo makoti ifaka nembuti imbala. Kulisiko lebantfu kutsi kwentiwe imisimeto lehambelana nemtsimba.

Nasewukhuphuka umtsimba emini timphahla tamakoti titfwalwa ngudzadzewabo. Letimphahla tifaka ekhatsi licansi lamakoti phela ngulo latawulala ngalo lekhakhakhe. Nyalo ngesilumbi sekuba ngumbhede latsengelwa wona makoti. Kuyagidvwake kube mnandzi emacembu lamabili achudzelene. Ekuseni ngembulukusa ngakusasa, ngeLisontfo phela makoti ungeniswa esibayeni ayomekeza. Lapha kuvamise kutsi kube nebemndeni kanye netihlobo letisedvute letetsamela lomcimbi lobaluleke kakhulu esiveni seMaswati.

Kunetingoma takhona letihlatjelwako lapha kumekezwa. Leto tingoma atimane nje tihlatjelwe noma nini kepha tihlatjelwa ngalelilanga kuphela. Levamile ingoma lapha ngulena lelandzelako. Kumekeza kulicophelo lemtsimba. Ngulapho labadzala bajabula khona kutsi hhayi umtsimba uhambe kahle. Lokunye lokuvelako lapha kutsi nge- Lisontfo gozolo uyaye ayewubikela laba bekhabo makoti kutsi kutfolweni kumakoti lowo.

Uma ngabe kutfolakale kutsi indlela seyivutsiwe, gozolo abefika abonge kulaba bakabomakoti kutsi cha siyabonga makoti lenisiletsele yena kepha nali liselwa lelivulekile. Loku kuyinhlamba lembi kabi. Kantsi uma kutfolakale kutsi indlela ayitfolakali bekabonga angabaniki lesipho lesiliselwa.

Loku kwenteka ngekukhishwa kwenyongo yelugege bese ijojetelwa kumakoti kusashiwo leti tifungo tekutsatfwa kwakhe. Phela ngeSiswati makoti uyafunga nakatekwa. Letifungo utenta kuva wonkhe umuntfu kepha akafundzelwa tona bese ulandzela umfundisi njengobe kwenteka emshadweni wesilumbi. Kepha makoti usho lokuphuma ngekhatsi kuye abuye akhale futsi kufakazela loko. Emva kwaloko utawubese uyayifutsa gozolo kute atoyigaba makoti. Kutawubese kufuneka inhlanti yakhe makoti le nangabe ikhona, itayitsatsa kuye makoti nayo iyigabe esandleni sangasencele. Lolu phela luphawu lwekutsi umsebenti sewentiwe wadzimate wafika ekugcineni.
