Kuthiwani ngezimpondo?
Ama-Antler awuphawu lokuhweba lwenyamazane. Izimpondo zakhiwe ngethambo futhi zinamagatsha. Akufanele badidwe nezimpondo. Ngoba izimpondo zinekhoni eyakhiwe ngethambo kuphela ngaphakathi futhi inezimpondo ngaphandle, okungukuthi isikhumba esifile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izimpondo azinawo amagatsha.

Bese liyafa likhule kabusha. Lokhu kungaqala ngokushesha noma emavikini ambalwa. Kunoma yikuphi, kufanele kwenziwe ngokushesha, ngoba esikhathini esingaphansi konyaka inyamazane yesilisa izodinga izimpondo zayo futhi ukuze iqhudelane nezinsikazi ezihamba phambili.
