Kunye nentengiso ephezulu kunye nokugcwala kwabathengi, abaqhubi beendawo zokutyela baqhubekile nokuxela amanqanaba alungileyo enkcitho eyinkunzi. Amashumi amahlanu anesine ekhulwini labaqhubi bathi benze inkcitho eyinkunzi kwizixhobo, ukwandiswa okanye ukulungiswa kwakhona kweenyanga ezintathu zokugqibela, inyanga yesixhenxe elandelelanayo apho uninzi lwabasebenzi luchaze ukuba lusebenzisa inkcitho.

Ngeli xesha, ziipesenti ezisi-9 kuphela zabaqhubi beevenkile zokutyela abalindele ukuba umthamo wabo wokuthengisa kwiinyanga ezintandathu ube ngaphantsi kunokuba wawunjalo ngexesha elinye kunyaka ophelileyo, ngelixa iipesenti ezingama-53 zilindele ukuba intengiso yabo ihlale ifana.
