Ngokuphambene nalokho okushiwo iDA, lezi zakhiwo akuzona ezokusetshenziswa komuntu ngamunye.
Umholi wendabuko ngamunye esifundazweni unekhaya lakhe. Basebenza ezindaweni eziningana ezikhundleni zabo ezisemthethweni. Kuyinto eyaziwa kakhulu ukuthi imiphakathi yendabuko ihlala emabhizinisini amakhulu, njengezimayini, ukudayisa, ukukhiqiza, ezolimo njalonjalo, futhi nazo zamukela imihlangano yazo kanye nokubandakanya kulezi zakhiwo.

Noma yikuphi uHulumeni akwenzayo esikhungweni sethu sobuholi bendabuko kuphonselwa inselelo yiDA ngendlela yokuchitha imali. Uma iDA ingaba nendlela yayo, aMakhosi azobhekana nengwadla yokunganakwa okungaphezu kwalokho akutholile ezandleni zikaHulumeni wobandlululo,” kusho uMabaso. Uqhube wathi uHulumeni okhethwe ngentando yeningi uyavuma futhi uyayazisa indima yezakhiwo zendabuko ekuthuthukiseni umphakathi kanye nokulethwa kwezidingo. Uthe aMakhosi angabalingani ababalulekile ekubuseni nokubambisana futhi kufanele ahlonishwe.
Uphinde wakuhlaba wakuhlikiza uMabaso lokhu okwenziwa yiDA wathi, “Kuyinto eyaziwayo ukuthi bonke abamele iDA bayadingeka ukuba bahlabe umkhosi wabo wokucula amanga.”
