Somlomo, ngicabanga ukuthi ngiphendulile. Uma ngingaphinda ngikhulume ngizophinda khona ukuthi amaphasela okudla ... [Speaker, I think I responded. If I had to respond again I would say food parcels ...]
... we distribute them when there is a need. Secondly,
... angazi ukuthi kungani ningibangela umsindo ngokhetho lukamasipala ngoba nani niyabanika abantu amaphasela okudla. Nangu uplastiki wenu la. Uplastiki wenu lo. Ngakho-ke musani ukushaya sengathi anazi lutho ngamaphasela wokudla. Asingayenzi leyo nto. Okubuhlungu kakhulu ngale nto ukuthi nina nithi abantu bathengwa ngokudla. Ake nikuthathe ukudla nikuyise ezindaweni zabantu nibone ukuthi nizolithola yini ivoti. (Translation of isiZulu paragraph follows.)
[... I do not know why you are making such a noise about by-elections because you also do distribute food parcels. Here is your plastic bag. It is yours. Therefore, do not pretend that you do not know anything about the distribution of food parcels. Let us not do that. It is sad that you say we use food to buy the peoples' vote. You must distribute food parcels to communities and we shall see if that will ever win the vote for you.]
