Ukuhla kweSithili
Nangona kunjalo, njengoko isikhulu se sixeko sakhula ngakumbi, abahlali abacebileyo baqala ukuqonda iSithili sesithupha njengento engabonakaliyo. Ngowe-1901, ukuqhambuka kwesi sibetho kwanika izikhulu zedolophu ithuba lokubangela ukuba baxoshe abantu abantsundu baseAfrika basuke kwiSithili seSithili ukuya kwilokishi ekupheleni komzi.
