Kuphithizele edolobheni lakoBulawayo umuntu sekungathi zimpukane ibuthane ebulongweni.
Abatshayeli bemitshova imilomo sekungathi ngeyenja ngokubobothekela imali. Abagadi bayaphithizela bedinga imota bebuyela emakhaya abo.
Isitaladi sika 6th Avenue laso akusikuminyana kwemota labantu, kumnyama tshu.
Useqedile ukuthenga okokuzithokozisa uMnumzane Ndlovu elindele umnyaka omutsha, aqonde ku 6th Avenue ukuyadinga ikhombi ezamusa emzini wakhe, elokitshini lase Cowdray Park.
Awuthole uNdlovini umshikashika ozamqondisa eCowdray Park. Njengenjayelo uWindi ayicele imali yakhe kubagadi be mota yakhe.
“Asihlanganiseni badala.”
Bahlanganise abadala imali kanye loNdlovu, yenake uyikhokhe ingamadola amahlanu ase AMelika.
Nxa iphenduka intshintshi kaNdlovu ingamabhondi, imali yakulelilizwe.
Liyabazi oWindi, abaphikiswa muntu.
Iqhamuke impi phakathi kukaNdlovu loWindi.
UNdlovu athi yena akayifuni imali yakuleli ngoba isuka yande emakhukhwini imbizele amasela.
“Unganginiki izibhonda lezi mina (bond notes). Ngibhadele ngemalimali wena ungipha itshintshi yami isiyinqwaba yezibi. Ngizakuquma indlebe lezo.”
Esethole owokumisana laye okwenhlalayenza, uWindi laye uqhubeke ethi nxa ubaba lo emgayifuni imali kayehle.
Ngokuthukuthela uNdlovu uqabuke sethuka umfana wemota esithi;
“Ungamphenduli wena ndlebe zenja yangini. Ngizakucenta lokuzindevu lokhu”
Abakade besemoteni labo bangungunile bethi nxa abanikazi bezimota befuna ukubhadalwa ngamadola eMelika kumele benelise ukuphendukisa itshintshi ngemali efanayo ngoba bathi imali lezi zombili azilasisindo esifanayo.
Kulanyulwe olukhulu ke lapho uNdlovu esedonsa uWindi ngentamo.
Kujatshulelwa umnyaka omutsha abantu bayakhuthazwa ukuhlalisana ngokumanyana langokuzwana.
OWindi bayacetshiswa ukuba abazinuke amakhwapha bahloniphe
abagadi ikakhulu abadala ngoba bengabazali.
