Babeye kwikhaya lomnye waba wamaxhoba, apho bafuna izitshixo emva kokuba engazange ahlawule “irenti” yendlu ixhoba elaliyibiza njengekhaya kangangeminyaka engaphezu kwe-14.
Esi sihlanu sijongene namatyala amane okuzama ukuxhwila imali, njengoko abanye abantu abathathu abakhubazekileyo abahlala kwindawo ye-EFATA yabantu abangevayo nabangaboniyo baye bafaka izikhalazo ngakubo, ukusukela ngo-2015.
