Oku kuza nanjengoko umzimba omnye uthe wabhaqwa ulahlwe kwindawo ekwiikhilomitha ezingamashumi amane ngaphandle kweKapa, kwimfumba yenkunkuma ehlathini ngoMgqibelo womhla wesithathu kweyeSilimela kulo umiyo. Ukanti oku kulandela ukufunyanwa kwemizimba emine nebikwalahlwe kula mmandla ukusukela ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesixehenxe kwinyanga kaCanzibe.
