Ithala indawo esetshenziselwa ukubeka imikhonto, amahhawu, izinduku, izagila noma izikhali ezazisetshenziswa uma kunempi. Nalo lakhiwe kuthi alifane nomgibe kodwa kube nokubekiwe phezu kwezintingo ukuze zonke izikhali zikwazi ukuhlala kahle. Ukubaluleka kwethala kwakwenzelwa ukuthi umnumzane akwazi ukuzithola eduze izikhali zakhe uma kukhona okuphuthumayo okwenzekayo. Ithala lakhiwa engxenyeni yabantu besilisa maphakathi nendawo. Ingxenye yabesilisa libangasesandleni sokudla sendlu.
Phansi izindlu zazisindwa ngobulongwe benkomo, ukwenzela ukuthi kungabi nothuli ngoba iningi labantu ngezikhathi zakudala lalingakhonkanga phansi.
