Enye yengcwethi yezemvukuzane ebikulomkhosi u Dr Nomsa Tsikayi uveze ukuba obaba labo besengozini yokutholakala belemvukuzane yebele lanxa isilinganiso sabo silokhe siphansi.
UTsikayi ugcizelele kudaba lokuqakatheka kokuphanga umuntu adinge usizo lapho setholakele elayo imvukuzane yebele ngoba iselapheka nxa odokotela bethe baphanga bayibona.
Ukunatha utshwala kanye lokubhema igwayi ngokunye okubikwa kubangela ukuqansa kwengozi yokuhlaselwa yilemvukuzane kuveze u Dr Tsikayi.

Omama abaphila lemvukuzane yebele labo bebekhona kulomkhosi okubalisa unkosikazi Gladys Fainoza ofundisa esikolo se Primary e Horseshoe Primary School yena oseleminyaka eyisithupha selokhu watholakala elayo limvukuzane ngomnyaka ka 2007 ngesikhathi esefikise iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lathoba munwe munye- 39 years.
U Fainoza ukhuthaza omama ukuba bahlolwe sikhathi sonke ukuze bazi kusese masinya ukuba sebelayo limvukuzane loba hatshi ngoba kuyikho okumphathise ukuba aluthole masinya usizo yikho engophilayo lamuhlanje.
