Umqeqeshi wami uthi ukuqeqeshwa kwesikhawu "kusetha umzimba wakho ukuze ushise amanoni amaningi." Ingabe lokhu kuyiqiniso?

Ukuvivinya umzimba ngamandla kukhuphula uketshezi lomzimba wakho lwehomoni yokukhula, ucwaningo oluye lwayixhumanisa nokwanda kokushisa amafutha. Noma kunjalo, ukushiswa kwamafutha okwengeziwe okuvela ekuqeqeshweni kwesikhawu kunesizotha.
