Amakati ayegcinwa emkhunjini ukuze alawule amagundane emkhunjini noma ngoba ayekwazi ukubona isimo sezulu esibi. Kepha inganekwane ithi amakati agcinwe emkhunjini ngenkolelo yokuthi azoletha inhlanhla phakathi nohambo. Uma bephonswa olwandle, bekukholelwa ukuthi umkhumbi uzocwila ngenxa yesiphepho esingenakugwemeka noma ungaqalekiswa iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye uma kwenzeka umkhumbi ungacwila.
