Ungase ube nomuzwa wokuthi ngandlela-thile "ungaphansi" kunamadoda. Awubalulekile kangako. Ufaneleka kancane. Iqiniso liwukuthi, uyigugu kakhulu emphakathini, kodwa okubaluleke nakakhulu kuNkulunkulu. Unkulunkulu ufuna ube nesibindi, uhlonishwe, waziswe, ukhushulwe esikhundleni, ufunelwe, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, uthandwe. Futhi kungaba kanjalo!
