Ukuba bendinomntu endimthandayo, bendizakubhala ingoma ngayo. Andizukucinga kakhulu malunga kwaye kuyakuba mnandi kwaye akusayi kubakho ntsingiselo inzulu ngasemva kwayo.
Oko kwathiwa, injongo echaziweyo ye- Imilo Shift kunye nam waye, uxelele Amatye agiqekayo , Amagqabantshintshi ngokuphila ukusuka kumbono wokudlulisa.

'Kuyamangalisa ukukhulela kwindawo ye-punk kwaye ubona ukufana, ucinga.
Ukubeka abantu kwiziseko kunye nokukhangela amaqhawe yinto endingazange ndibenomdla wokuyenza. Ndingaba ndim ndedwa kwaye ndithethe into endiyicingayo kwaye ndithethe into endiyiva ngayo, kwaye ukuba abantu bayazichaza kwaye ukuba abantu bayayivuma loo nto, kuhle.
