Yimeko yokuqala yomntu yoxinzelelo, enezinga lokufa elimalunga nama-60%, e-UK.

“Ngelixa umngcipheko we umkhuhlane weentaka kuluntu ngokubanzi luphantsi kakhulu, siyazi ukuba ezinye iintlobo zinamandla okusasazeka ebantwini kwaye yiyo loo nto sineenkqubo ezomeleleyo zokuzibona ezi zinto kwangethuba kwaye sithathe amanyathelo, utshilo umphathi wezempilo.
