Nakuba le ndlu iphakeme kangaka, kodwa bonke abayodlula ngakuyo bayomangala, banximfe, bathi: ‘USimakade wenzeleni okunje kuleli lizwe nakule ndlu na?’ “Bayophendula bathi: ‘Kungenxa yokuba bamshiya uSimakade uNkulunkulu wabo owakhipha okhokho babo eGibhithe, base benamathela kwabanye onkulunkulu, bakhuleka kubo, babakhonza, ngakho-ke uSimakade wehlisele le nhlekelele phezu kwabo.’ ”
