Umkhathi wesithombe ufudumele, uyakhanga, futhi unobuciko obujulile. Ukukhanyisa kuthambile ngamabomu futhi kuyaqondisa, kuveza ukukhanya okuthambile kuzo zonke izigaxa nobhiya, kugqamisa ukwakheka nokujula okugqamisayo. Lokhu kuhlobana kokukhanya nesithunzi kugcwalisa indawo ngomqondo wobuciko nokunaka imininingwane, kukhumbuza isibukeli ukuthi iphayinti ngalinye likabhiya liqala kudala ngaphambi kokuba lifinyelele engilazini—ngokutshalwa ngokucophelela, ukuvuna ngokucophelela, nokuqonda ikhemikhali yemvelo edlalwayo. Amahops, adlangile futhi agcwele isithembiso, abonakala encike kubhiya osuphelile, njengokungathi avuma indima yawo ebalulekile ekudalweni kwawo, kuyilapho ubhiya ngokwawo ubonisa isiphetho sakho konke lokho kusebenza nokunakekela.

Sekukonke, okubhaliwe kudlulisa isimo sokwazisa kanye nenhlonipho ngomsebenzi wezandla.
