"

“Le yinto eyimfuneko,” utshilo uDonato.“Le ibiyingxaki enkulu.Abantu bahlala nayo iminyaka engama-40, kwaye lixesha lokuba iDOT inyuke, ibanyuse kuluhlu kwaye benze umqobo.
"Siza kufuna abameli bakarhulumente, kunye nerhuluneli kunye nabo bonke ukuba basilwele," utshilo uBurke.“Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuzisa engqalelweni yabo.Ngokuqinisekileyo, siza kuyixhasa kwaye siyilwele. ”
