  Ababafundi bakwathi bafuna bagxothwe bonke abo babandakanyeka kwezi zityholo, nto leyo inika ubunzima kubaphathi beRhodes kuba abatyholwa abakafunyanwa benetyala. 
  Kuthe nje phambi kokuba kuqalwe kulo msitho, abafundi baseRhodes baphakamisa amaphekepheke abo abonakalisa ukunyevula. Kusajongwe leyo, ababafundi bavele bakhulula iimpahla zabo zangentla baveza amabele kodwa egqunywe yibhodi (bra). 
  Ibe seso sankxwe, aba bafundi bengavumi kugoba uphondo kuba bebanga ngelithi abakhange bamenywe kule ndibano.

  Ngethuba uManana exelela ababafundi ukuba inyewe yaseRhodes uyiyekele kuMabizela neziphathamandla zakhe, umsindo uvele wakhula nangakumbi.  
  Abanye bebemthuka logama abanye bavele bagqiba kwelokuba mabamxinanisele angakwazi ukuhamba. Ngelo xesha ke, abanye bebesebenzisa namandla abo bembambile. 
  Kuncede ngokungenelela koonogada baseRhodes, wafumana umtyhi uManana.  
  Uthe akufumana umtyhi, abanye babafundi bayokuvala kwimoto yakhe ukuba bengafuni ahambe.  
  Ibengumjijiswano de omnye umfundi wathuka unogada kaManana esithi: “Uyindoda enjani le ibamba umfazi kanje.” Ngelo xesha ke, omnye umfundi uye wawa phantsi kubonakala ukuba ebefikelwe sisiyezi. 
  Isuke ngokutshisa ivili phantsi imoto kaManana, babe abafundi beyigxogxa ngeebhotile zeplastiki.

Kodwa ke uMashishi ukwathe abafundi baphose ithuba lokuva ngokuqulathwe yile ngxoxo engadange ibe kanti ithabatha inxaxheba.

  UKananda-Dudumashe uthi unxibelelwano oluphanzileyo phakathi kweRhodes nabafundi luyichanile le ngxoxo.  
  “Abafundi bayakhalaza bathi khange bamenywe kule ngxoxo. Andiqondi ukuba yinto entle leyo. Bekufanele ukuba kuthethiwe nabo kuba abanye babo bangamaxhoba oxhatshazo,” utshilo uKananda-Dudumashe.
