Ngineminyaka eyishumi nanye futhi umfowethu uneminyaka emihlanu kulo nyaka, kodwa asivamile ukubona ubaba.Uma ngikhumbula kahle, uMkhosi waseNtwasahlobo ngawuchitha nobaba kabili kuphela, konke lokhu kwakungenxa yokuthi umsebenzi kababa kwakuwukwenza imisebenzi yokwakha phesheya kwezilwandle.
Ngizwe ngobaba ukuthi baningi omalume abebesebenza phesheya njengaye abasakwazi nokubuyela emuva izinsukwana onyakeni.Ubaba ungunjiniyela wezobuchwepheshe.Yena nabanye omalume bakhe izakhiwo eziningi eziphakeme, izitimela nezikhumulo zezindiza phesheya.Abantu abaningi bayababonga, kodwa angaphindela nini ekhaya?Mina nomfowethu singawuchitha nini naye uMkhosi waseNtwasahlobo?
Okokugcina ubaba waya ekhaya ethi uzothatha umfowabo ayogibela isondo leFerris, umfowabo wajabula kakhulu.Kodwa ubaba owathola umsebenzi ophuthumayo ngokuphazima kweso wamdumaza umfowabo.Waphatha ipotimende lakhe waphuma wangabheka emuva.
