Abashayeli bezimoto abangaqeqeshiwe, ukuntuleka kwemizila yezithuthuthu, ukuhlukunyezwa

Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ngaphakathi kwedolobha elikhulu akuveli nezingozi. Ngaphandle kokushoda kwemizila yezithuthuthu kwezinye izindawo, amabhayisikili futhi kufanele banakekele abashayeli abangalawuleki nabanolaka. Kwabesifazane abashayela amabhayisikili, kungahle kube khona ne-specter yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi nokuhlazeka emzimbeni.

Wayenezinsimbi ezingekho kahle ngokwengeziwe, wakhula waba yisixwayiso futhi wagxila kakhudlwana, futhi wayekulungele ukonga imali ayezokusebenzisa ekuthengiseni imali kunoma yiliphi elinye icala.

UGeri ukhulume ukuthi uzizwa enamandla futhi nokuthi amandla akhe athuthukile kusuka ekuhambeni ngebhayisikili. “Angenzi ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ukuze nginciphise amakhilogremu athe xaxa kodwa uma ngibheka izithombe zami zangaphambili, ngibukeka ngiphakeme manje,” kusho yena. “Iphinde yangonga nokheshi. Isici esinamandla kakhulu isikhathi! Isikhathi esingeziwe somndeni wami. [Ngemizuzu] engamashumi amathathu, sengifikile endlini. ”

Endabeni kaDivine, indodakazi yakhe endala ithole ukulangazelela ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ngenxa yakhe.

Uyathanda futhi ukuthi ukulungele ukubheka umkhathi ngenxa yokuhamba ngebhayisikili kunciphisa ukungcoliswa komoya.

Abangakatholakali bangakuthola kunzima ngebhayisikili phansi, kodwa-ke ukukhathazeka, kuzo zonke izingqinamba ezisanda kuhlangana nazo, kuvela, njengomthetho, impendulo ejwayelekile.
