Naphezu kokuphuma okukhulu kwezakhamuzi, kwahlonishwa imisebenzi engama-21 kuphela okwamanje.

Abacela imisebenzi babhekane nemvula ekuseni kanye nesimo sezulu esishisayo ntambama, kodwa baphoxa ngenxa yokungatholakali kwemiphumela esheshayo.
Njengoba usuku luhlala, izixuku zaqala ukusabalala, noma abanye basala ngemuva, bethwala ithemba lokuthi amathuba amaningi angase avele.
Izikhala ezingama-21 ezitholakele zimele ingxenye encane kakhulu yezinkulungwane ezafika, okuveza ukufana okuhlukile phakathi kwesidingo lomsebenzi kanye nezinselelo zabasebenzi endaweni.

Naphezu kwezinga eliphansi lezisebenzi eziholwa, kunezibonakaliso zokuthi ingxoxo yezezezimali ingaba nomthelela olandelayo. Ezinye izikhungo ezikhiqizayo zibonise ukuzimisela ukuhlela imihlangano nezimenenja ukuze zibhale izinqumo zomphakathi.
Izishoshovu zisho ukuthi lokhu akusisoli kuphela isiteleka, kodwa kumfight ka-suku ngesizathu sokuphila.
Abaningi baphinde baqhubeka bephinda izifiso zabo ezandulela, benethemba lokuthi izingxoxo eziqhubekayo zizoholela ekuthuthukiseni amathuba ezemisebenzi.
