Sengisondele ekhaya, abanye abantu ababebalekela ingozi bathi kimi, “Awubaleki yini, usaya ekhaya?” Ngenkathi mina ngifika ekhaya, umntanami wabuza, “Ingabe uzamcolo awukukhukhulanga?” Kulapho kuphela la ngazi khona ukuthi mina ngangingenaye uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yami. Kungekudala emva kwalokho, umyeni kadade ongumakhelwane wagibela phezu kophahla, wabona ukuthi izindlu ezazingekude neyethu zabe sezikhukhulekile.
