Lamadoda kuthi kulomsebenzi wawo, kuthi abedayisa lamaphepha mbumbulu ngenani elicishe lifike Ku-R100,000 ngamunye

Lezikhulu ezimbili ebezisebenzela ngaphambilini uMnyango Wezasekhaya, okungu-David Motsamai, oneminyaka engu-35, noLufu Mulaudzi, oneminyaka engu-39, bavele eNkantolo Yemantshi yaseGermiston ngoMsombuluko ngecala lokukhwabanisa amapasipoti, kanye nokuthengisa amapasipoti aseNingizimu Afrika kubantu bakwamanye amazwe ngenani elifika ku-R100,000 ngalinye.
