“Kodwa umbuzo apha ngowokuba sikholelwa njani kubo bonke abadlali. Ngokucacileyo, bakumanqanaba ahlukeneyo,” utshilo uCardoso.

“Abanye babo baselula, abanye babo banamava ngakumbi. Abanye babo baneempawu zabo ezisivumela ukuba simelane nezinto ezithile emdlalweni kunye namaqela ahlukeneyo esijongana nawo.”
