UNoelle, wayeyingane enothando nenobungane eyayithanda ukudweba. Ngobunye ubusuku ehlobo wayezihambela ngemuva egcekeni lakubo ngesikhathi ewela echibini lokubhukuda. Waminza sekusele nje amasonto amabili ngaphambi kokuba ahlanganise iminyaka emine.
UCharlotte, uDaniel, u-Olivia, uJosephine . . .

Enkonzweni yomngcwabo, uMongameli u-Obama wafunda amagama azo wabe esetshela izilaleli ezililayo ukuthi: “Lezi zinhlekelele kumelwe ziphele.”

Abanye bathi izinhlekelele ezifana nalezi zidalelwe ukuba zenzeke. Kubonakala sengathi miningi imibono ngale ndaba. Singazitholaphi izimpendulo ezithembekile nezigculisayo? Ezihlokweni ezilandelayo, sizohlola iZwi likaNkulunkulu, iBhayibheli, ukuze sithole ukuthi ziyini izimbangela zokuhlupheka nokuthi kuzoqedwa kanjani.
