Ngiyakwamukela njalo mfundi webanga lesine kumfundo yesecondary kusigaba sethu esithi, Sithini IsiNdebele? Kulesi isigaba injongo yethu yikuthi siqhubeke sifundisana ngokwakhiwa kwezaga usebenzisa amabala owaphiweyo. Kulesi isifundo ngizathanda ukuthi ngiqhubeke ngiliphathisa lokhu sesikhangelane lemihloliso yebanga lesine. Lamuhla sizakhangela izaga ezakhelwe emabizweni ezinyamazana zeganga. Ngiyalikhuthaza njalo ukuthi lizitholele ugwalo oluthi, Izaga ukuze lengeze ulwazi lwenu njalo lithole lengcazelo yalezi izaga lokhu ngikhangelele ukuthi lenelise njalo ukupha ingcazelo zazo.

Njengoba ngethula kusifundo sethu sakuqala, imibuzo ehlola ukwenelisa kwenu ukubumba izaga lisebenzisa amabala eliwaphiweyo lokupha ingcazelo yazo ivamile kakhulu emihlolisweni yenu. Ngalokho-ke, zipheni isikhathi lizihlomise ngolwazi lolu. Efidelwa esikalini ayinoni.AmaNdebele ayezingela lokhu inyama yayingokunye ukudla okwadliwa kusakhiwe, iphekwa ngomhluzi weyinye. Kwakudliwa eyezifuyo kubuye kudliwe eyenyamazana zeganga ezazizingelwa. Ekuzingeleni lapha, kwakunanzelelwa ukuziphatha lokwenza kwalezi inyamazana besekusakhelwa izaga kulokhu kwenza lokuziphatha kwazo ngenjongo yokwethula umbiko thile ebantwini. Kuvamile ukuthi uphiwe amabizo alezi inyamazana ukuthi wakhela phezu kwawo izaga. Nanka amabizo enyamazana zeganga ongacelwa ukuthi wakhele izaga kuwo:

1.(Iqaqa) Iqaqa alizizwa ukunuka.
2.(Indlovu) Indlovu ayisindwa ngumboko wayo.
3.(Idube) Umswane wedube ngosesiswini.
4.(Inyathi) Inyathi ibuzwa kwabaphambili.
5.(Inyathi) Ixotshwa ibhekile.
6.(Ingwe) Ingwe idla ngamabala ayo.
7.(Ingwe) Yingwe lenja.
8.(Indwangu) Indwangu zihlekana iziphongo.
9.(Iloba yiphi inyamazana ezingelwayo) Ayihlatshwa mvusi.
10.(Imbila) Imbila yaswela umsila ngenxa yokulayezela.
11.(Imbila) Zimbila zantabanye.
12.(Iloba yiphi inyamazana ezingelwayo) Evukela/Esalela muva ibanjwa yizinja.
13.(Iloba yiphi inyamazana ezingelwayo) Uzingela lezinja, aduhe lenyamazana.
14.(Iloba yiphi inyamazana ezingelwayo) Egxobe udaka inathile.
15.(Impala) Akuxotshwa mpala mbili sikhathi sinye.

Sizakuma lapha ngalesi isifundo. Dinga amanye amabala afana lala esifundisane ngawo ubumbe izaga loba wengeze ngezinye izaga usebenzi la engiwaphileyo. Ngizathanda ukuthi uziphe isikhathi udinge ingcazelo yalezi izaga njalo. Asihlangane esifundweni esilandelayo lapho esizafundisana khona ngokubumba izaga sisebenzisa amabala aphathelane lezilimo.
