Emva kokuphela kwemfazwe, wabiza iintlanganiso zokuzama ukweyisela amadoda ukuba azibeke ecaleni izikhalazo nobutshaba obuqhubekayo.

Thina, bafazi belizwe elinye, siya kuba thambileyo kakhulu kwabo bakwelinye ilizwe, ukuba sivumele oonyana bethu baqeqeshelwe ukulimaza abo. Kwisifuba somhlaba obhuqiweyo ilizwi linyuka kunye nelethu. Ithi: Susa izixhobo, khulula! Ikrele lokubulala alisilungelelaniso lobulungisa. Igazi alilisusi ihlazo, nogonyamelo alukuthetheleli oko kufunyenweyo. Njengoko amadoda edla ngokulishiya ikhuba nentshinyela ekubizweni kwemfazwe, abafazi ngoku mabashiye konke okunokushiyeka ekhaya ngemini enkulu nenyanisekileyo yebhunga.”
