Matayoshi, Ummeleli oxhasayo walo mthethosivivinywa, uthe uzokwethula umthethosivivinywa wokuqeda ukukhishwa esikhundleni esimisweni esizayo seNdlu.
Ngaphambi kwamavoti okuphetha, uMatayoshi uthe sekuphele iminyaka bezama kuleli gumbi ukugunyaza ukuvinjelwa kwesishayamthetho noma ukukhawulela ama-vape anephunga elimnandi. Futhi ukuthi bamelana nalezi zidakamizwa ukuze banikeze ithemba elithile esizukulwaneni esisha ukuthi ngeke kudingeke bahlale beyizigqila ze-nicotine ukuphila kwabo konke.
