From a news report on Zim soccer legend Peter "Nsukuzonke" Ndlovu being discharged from hospital:
“Uqinile wena mfana (you are a strong man) after all that happened. We commend your family for remaining strong and supportive especially Madinda,” said Dr Mpofu. Said Peter in response: “Yini elingiqinisayo mdala. You are one of the people who make me strong,” he said laughing. (nehandaradio.com)
"Nsukuzonke" - every day
A lovely sentence fom isiZulu Oxford Living Dictionary:
Uyamethemba uMokohlane lona, kakhulukazi ngoba useyindoda eqinile, futhi enomusa.
You trust this Mokohlane, especially because he is now a man who is strong and kind too.
“Uqinile
wena mfana (you are a strong man) after all that happened. We commend
your family for remaining strong and supportive especially Madinda,”
said Dr Mpofu. Said Peter in response: “Yini elingiqinisayo mdala. You
are one of the people who make me strong,” he said laughing.
