Umbulali uyakubalekela komunye wayo afike ame esikhaleni sesango lomuzi, achazele amalunga alowo muzi indaba yakhe, bese emthatha amngenise emzini, amnike indawo ahlale phakathi kwawo. Uma umphindiseli wegazi emlandela, ngeke neze amnikele kuye umbulali, ngokuba wambulala umakhelwane wakhe ngephutha, kwakungekho nzondo phakathi kwabo ngaphambilini. Umbulali uyohlala kulowo muzi kuze kuthethwe icala lakhe ebandla, kuze kufe umphristi omkhulu wangaleso sikhathi, ngaphambi kokuba umbulali abuyele ekhaya, emzini ayebaleke kuwo.’ ”
