ngenxa yembali yocalucalulo eMzantsi Afrika. Utsho esithi iqonga elinikezwa
yinkqubo yeSikhumbuzo liza kuqinisekisa ukuba abantu abangathathi ntweni nabo
bazizityebi bayamamelana ukuze, ekugqibeleni kufunyanwe izisombululo ezizizo
zezinye zeengxaki ezijongene nesizwe ezifana nomba wokohluthwa komhlaba kubantu
abamnyama. 

UWells ubongoza amashishini, imibutho okanye nabani na onomdla ukuba
