“Njengamanje ngijima eBBB Gym eKwaMashu. Eminyakeni emibili edlule ngabona umncintiswano waMashovashova, ngawuthanda. Ngatshela umqeqeshi wami ukuthi ngingathanda ukuziqeqeshela wona ukuze umzimba wami ulolongeke kahle. Wangiyisa esikhungweni lapho okuqeqeshelwa ukushova amabhayisikili, ngafike ngathanda yize nganinovalo ngenxa yeminyaka yami,” kuchaza uNksz Dlungwane.
UNksz Makhanya uthe wangena kulo mdlalo ngoba efuna ukusiza ingane yakhe eshova amabhayisikili KwaMashu.
“Ingane yami isohlelweni lokushova amabhayisikili olwenziwa epaki iGo Durban Bic Park (eMakhehleni). Singomama, sabuza ukuthi singazeseka kanjani izingane zethu. Umqeqeshi wazo wathi angasifundisa nathi. Safunda kanjalo kodwa ngesikhathi sifunda sasingazi ukuthi kanti amabhayisikili ayabiza. Abanye omama bagcina beyekile ngenxa yokuthi ayabiza,” kusho uNksz Makhanya.

“Ibhayisikili liyefana nemoto lishintshwa amagiya okuyinto eyaqale yangixaka ngoba ngangizitshela ukuthi uyashova nje kuphela. Isisindo asinankinga kodwa kubhekwa ukuthi umude kangakanani. Akumele ugibele ibhayisikili elide noma elifishane kakhulu kunawe,” kuchaza yena.

“Sifuna ukukhipha umcabango wokuthi lo mdlalo ungawudlala uma uwuqale usemncane. Izalukazi zabelungu ezishovayo sasicabanga ukuthi zaqala zisencane, ngakho thina ngeke sikwazi. Ukuhuzuka kuyenzeka kodwa awulimali kakhulu kanti novalo luba khona uma ungena emgwaqweni ngoba izimoto zingakushayisa,” kusho uNksz Makhanya.
