Oko ndandisemncinci, bendisoloko ndithabatheka bubunzulu obuluhlaza bolwandle kunye nobomi obuhlala kulo. Ukuthanda kwam indalo nokulondolozwa kwayo kwandikhokelela ekubeni ndifunde inzululwazi yendalo esingqongileyo, isigqibo esandisa ukuqonda kwam ukuntsonkotha kwezinto eziphilayo zasemanzini nokubaluleka kokuzigcina. Ifilosofi yam ilula: iintlanzi, nangona zihlala zibonwa njengemihombiso elula, zizidalwa eziphilayo ezineemfuno ezinzima kunye nokuziphatha. Ndiyakholelwa ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba intlanzi inokugcinwa njengezilwanyana ezifuywayo ezinoxanduva, ukuba nje zibonelelwa ngemekobume elinganisa indawo yazo yendalo ngokusondeleyo kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Oku akubandakanyi kuphela umgangatho wamanzi kunye nobushushu, kodwa kunye nesakhiwo sentlalo kunye nokutya okufanelekileyo, ngaphandle koxinzelelo lokusinda endle. Ngokwenene, ihlabathi leentlanzi libangel’ umdla. Ngokufunyanwa ngakunye, ndiziva ndizinikele ngakumbi kubizo lwam lokwabelana ngalo mmangaliso nolwazi nehlabathi.
