Abelaphi bendabuko banezingubo abazigqokayo uma beqhuba umsebenzi wabo wokwelapho. Lezingubo noma izimpahla ziyakwazi ukuthi zibaveze njengabantu abenza lomsebenzi ngoba azigqokwa yinoma ngubani. Lapha sizobheka ukuhlukana kwazo lezingubo ngemibala nokuthi zichazani. Abelaphi bendabuko bahlanganisa izangoma, izinyanga nabathandazi. Kukhona labo abaneziphiwo eziningi umuntu eyedwa njengokuthi omunye abe yisangoba aphinde abe ngumthandazi. Ngokuhlukana nangokusebenza kwabo kunezimpahla zokugqoka abazisebenzisayo.


  1.  Uma umuntu egqoka ibhayi elibomvu elinamahawu (red with shields) it is believed that usuke engenwe amakhehla (unendiki). Idlozi lakhe kusuke kungoyise mkhulu.
  2. Ibhayi elikuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka (blue) umuntu usuke engenwe yizakukazi (nendawo).
  3. Uma emuntu egqoka okusabende (maroon) usuke eyisangoma esikhulekayo noma esithandazayo.
  4. Uma umuntu efaka eliphuzi nokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka(yellow and blue) (ongumthandazi) lona ukuphethe kokubili Isangoma esinesithunywa sifaka ijazi noma ibhayi lengwe.
  5. Uma efake ingubo eyimpangela nebhayi elibubende,usuke exubile esebenza ngo gogo nomkhulu
  
L    Lezimpahla zigqokwa uma umuntu esebenza noma enza into yedlozi kungabe uyomba imithi noma uyahlola noma ekhuleka noma kukhona angakuboni kahle. Ngesikhathi umuntu eseyisangoma uphatha ishoba omunye uma engenwe amakhehla ayamtshela ukuthi aphathe ihawu noma engowesifazane uyaliphatha, noma eya emcimbini aliphathe agiye ngalo.
