La umlingo umntu anokuba nawo ezandleni zabo inokujikwa ibe ngumlingo osulungekileyo njengoko kwenzekayo nezo zikaGiovanni Strazza kunye nengqondi yakhe enkulu yokuwela ngaphaya komda apho into ethile inokuba yinto ephantse yanobomi; okanye ubuncinci ukuba iyakwazi ukuyixelisa ngohlobo lokuba ishiye singathethi simangalisiwe ngamawakawaka eenkcukacha.
Yile nto eyenzekayo ngeNtombi egqunywe ngeNtombi eStrazza. Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo onomtsalane Iyakwazi ukuthatha nabani na ukuphefumla loo nto ayinangqondo yobugcisa. Isakhono sakhe esikhulu sokudlula ngalamzuzu apho kubonakala ngathi sijamelene nomntu ogqibeleleyo, yeyona nto ishiya kungekho mntu ungenankathalo kwaye wenze lo msebenzi ube lixesha.
