Kodwa ukubiza isiqweqwe esingaphezulu kakhulu kungavimbela abaqashi abahle futhi kungaphikiswa njengento engafanele. Isiko lemakethe: inyanga eyodwa yokuqasha — kuyisiko amalayisi ajwayelekile; izinyanga ezimbili — kuvame izakhiwo ezinempahla, amalayisi anezilwane noma ukuqasha okunobungoti; akukho siqweqwe — kuvamile kancane. Okubalulekile ukuchaza inani lesiqweqwe elayisini lakho esibhaliwe.

Abanye abaniniwe bavula i-akhawunti eyodwa umqashi ngamunye; abanye basebenzisa i-akhawunti yethemba eyodwa bese balandelela ngaphakathi.

Indlela Yokubala Nokukhokha Inzalo Yesiqweqwe

Ngaphambi kokuncisha noma yini esiqweqweni, kufanele wenze ukuhlola ndawonye nomqashi: (1) Yihlele — ngokuhle ngosuku lokugcina kwelayisi noma usuku umqashi aphuma (2) Hamba nesakhiwo ndawonye — qhathanisa isimo samanje nombiko wokuhlola kokungena (3) Bhala konke phansi — thatha izithombe, phawula ukulimala, zombili izinhlangothi zisayine umbiko wokuhlola (4) Vumelana ngokuncisha — noma okungenani rekhoda okucabanga inhlangothi ngayinye okufanele. Ngaphandle kokuhlola ndawonye, ukuncisha esiqweqweni kuba nobungoti bomthetho. Umhlahlandlela wethu wokuphoqisa.
