“Oogxa bethu baye balala kwezinye iivenkile begadile kuba siqaphele ukuba phaya eKZN naseRhawutini olu hlaselo lwenziwa ngobusuku. Bekukho iinzame zokutyhuthula amashishini aseMpuma Koloni ngobusuku futhi yonke le nto iphehlwa lulwaphulomthetho kuba aba bantu bajonga iivenkile ezithile ezithengisa ubucwebe (jewellery) kwanezo zoonomyayi,” utshilo uGabs Simphiwe Mtshala, usekela sihlalo weSANTACO.

Ngoku ke ngoku xa kutshiswa iivenkile, siza kuthutha abantu abayaphi? Ukuba besiyeke iivenkile zitshe, lo nto ibinokhokelela kudushe loonoteksi kuba iiteksi beziza kuphangelana ngemizila yabakhweli,” utshilo uMtshala.
“Enye into esiyithethayo kukuba abantu mabangasijongi njengabantu abangene kwimiba yezopolitiko. Asinamdla apho thina. Umdla wethu ukushishino lwethu. Asikhange sibenazo kwa iingxoxo kwakunye nabaphathi bezivenkile, kuquka noodederhu. Ewe phaya eMdantsane City, siye sanikwa isixhaso somphefumlo ngabaphathi.”
