Izimila noma izihlahla zokufika kuthiwa ezokufika ngoba ezakwamanye amazwe ngaphandle kweNingizimu Afrika. Ezinye kuthiwa zafika nabasuke bevakashele kwamanye amazwe ngokuthi zinamathele ezimpahleni zabo zokugqoka. Kokunye zifika nezinyoni ngokushintsha kwezikhathi zonyaka (ikwindla, ihlobo, ubusika nentwasahlobo). Akudingi ukuthi zitshalwe lapho siwele khona siyazimilela. Lezihlahla zidla kakhulu amanzi futhi uma kukhona okunye okumilile eceleni kwaso kuyafa kumile sona sodwa kuleyondawo kuguguleke umhlabathi kungasamila lutho kuleyondawo.
