Intando Yenengi Yelizwe Lekhethu Izokusiza Ukwehlula i-COVID-19 Sivame ukuthatha lula

intando yenengi yeli-zwe lekhethu enepilo

nesimemeko. Kanti ngiyo eli-gugu lethu elikhulu emzaba-lazweni wethu wokwehlula umbulalazwe oyingogwana i-corona.

Sinezakhamuzi ezikhamba phambili ephasini ngokuli-ma indima kezombusazwe ephasiniloke. Ihlolomazizo yomnyaka wee-2018 eyenziwa yi-Pew Research Center ikho- mbisa bonyana amaSewula Afrika ayame khulu ehlango- t h i n i l o k u t h a t h a i g a - dango lezombusazwe ngee- ndaba ezibatshwenya khulu, njengezamaphilo, zefundo, ilungelo lokuveza amazizo nekohlakalo.

Ihlolomazizo le iqinisekisa okunengi esele sikwazi ngathi. Akukho esikuthabela khulu kunekulumopendulwano eqi-nileko ngamezwi norhulu-mende wethu nahlangana nathi ngeenhloko ezingunda- bamlonyeni. Sinomphakathi okhutheleko onokuzibanda- kanya nohlala ulungele ukuvi-kela itjhaphuluko yethu nama-lungelo.

Enye yepumelelo yentando yenengi yethu kukobana woke umSewula Afrika ukholwa bon-yana umThethosisekelo uya- bavikela namakhotho aqunta ngokulungileko begodu ahlu-lela ngokungathathi ihlangothi begodu abeke phambili oku- tlhogwa ngibo.

Khengacabanga ngama- phuzu la evakatjhweni lami lamhlaphanje lePumalanga Kapa nangiyokuhlola ubu-jamo besifunda bokulungela ukuqalana nengogwana i-corona.

Khengabuzwa ngusoondaba kobana ingabe ngitshwenye-kile ngombango owethulwe ekhotho ophikisana nee- nqalelelo ezithile zomThetho

wokuPhathwa kweHlekelele. Umthetho lo usisekelo sayo yoke imithetholawulo epha-siswe ngokomthetho ngapha- si kobujamo behlekelele ye-lizweloke esayimemezelako ukukhandela ukubhebhedlha kwengogwana i-corona.

Solo kuthome isikhathi esi-budisesi, inengi labantu lise-benzise ilungelo lalo lokuya emakhotho bafuna ukulalelwa. Imithetholawulo yokuqinte- liswa kweminye imisebenzi namakhambo yaphoswa nge-selele ngeveke yokuthoma yokuqinteliswa kweminye imisebenzi namakhambo, iselele le iphoswa sisakhamuzi esizijameleko seMpumalanga egade sifuna ukungaba- njwa mithetholawulo ekha- ndela amakhambo ngombana yena afuna ukuya emngcwa-beni.

Eemvekeni ezi l ikhomba ezalandelako, kube neenselele zezomthetho ezenziwe linengi labantu, iinhlangano zezekolo, iinhlangano zepolitiki, ama-NGO kunye neenhlangano zamabhizinisi, baphikisana negadango linye nofana athile wemibandela yokuqinteliswa kweminye imisebenzi nama- khambo egade bangakathabi ngayo. Abanye baphumelele eembaweni zabo zomthetho kanti abanye abakaphumeleli. Abanye baya emakhotho ngonobangela wokurhaba kweenlilo zabo kodwana abonobangela babo abarhaba-kwabo baphayelwa ngeqadi kanti abanye sele bafumene ezinye iindlela zokulalelwa ki-lokho egade bakufuna. Abanye bagcine bazilisa iimbawo zabo ngemva kwemikhulumiswano norhulumende.

Nalokha besingathanda uku-balekela isidingo samagadango wezomthetho athathelwa urhu-lumende, kumele samukele bo-

nyana izakhamuzi ezingakatha-bi ngananyana ngiliphi igada- ngo eliquntwe ngurhulumende ukuliphumelelisa zinelungelo lokuya emakhotho welizwe le- khethu ukuyokukhombela bona kubuyekezwe isiqunto bebafike kesibathabisako. Lo, kumgomo ojayelekileko wentando yene- ngi enzinze kumThethosisekelo begodu nesenzo esamukeleka kuhle elizweni elisekelwe eku-buseni komthetho.

Sineenlinganiso esihlolisisa ngazo ukuqinisekisa bonya- na yoke imikhakha yoku-phatha kukarhulumende ingaphumelela nayihlolwa ngelihlo lomthethosisekelo. Lapho sifunyanwa sibogaboga khona, kuzokufanela siziphe- ndulele emakhotho wethu, begodu ngaphezu kwakho koke, siziphendulele kuzakha-muzi zelizwe lekhethu. Nga- phandle kwamakhotho wethu, iinhlangano zethu ezisekela intando yenengi zesiGaba se-9 zikhona ukuphumelelisa ama- lungelo wezakhamuzi, nje- ngalokha kwenza iinhlangano ezinikelwe umsebenzi woku- tjhejisisa ama-ejensi wezoku-setjenziswa komthetho.

Njengalokha khengatjela usoondaba, umSewula Afrika ngamunye unelungelo lokuya ekhotho begodu nami, ngingu- Mengameli nje, angeze ngajama endleleni kananyana ngubani osebenzisa ilungelwelo.

Khekwaba begodu ku-zakuraga nokuba nokusolwa okuqinileko okuvela emi- khakheni ethileko malunga- na nendlela esilwa ngayo ne- ngogwana i-corona, ukuthoma ekutlanyweni komfuziselo wemininingwana nebone- lophambili, ukufikela emi- phumeleni yomnotho ngenca yokuqinteliswa kweminye imisebenzi namakhambo, no-kufikela kumithetholawulo.

Singurhulumende asifuni bona ukusolwa lokhu kuphe-kelelwe madlharuma wokulwa azakuvanga ilizwe nanyana kuthuliswe.

Ngakelinye ihlangothi, uku-sola, nayikuthi kungokwa- khako, kuyasisiza ukulungisa sibe majadu ekuziphendule-leni ukutjhugulula ubujamo nemibandela. Kuhlumisa iku-lumopendulwano etjhatjhalazi begodu kusinikele thina soke ukuzwisisa okungeneleleko eendabeni ezidenjwako.

Solo si jamile kelokuthi sithembele phezu kwemini-ningwana yezesayensi, yezo- mnotho nobufakazi berhu- bhululo nakuza ekuthatheni i i n q u n t o n e k u t l a m e n i i m i t h e t h o l a w u l o e n d a -beni yengogwana i-corona. Ukufikela ezingeni eliphe-zulu ekungafikelelwa kilo nga- phasi kobujamobu obubudisi, sinqophe ukukhulumisana no-kuvumelana. Sifuna woke amaSewula Afrika abe yingce- nye yomzamo lo welizweloke. Imibono yabantu boke kumele irage godu ilalelwe ngaso soke isikhathi esibudisi njengalesi.

Umbulalazwe oyingogwana i-corona namagadango esi-wathetheko ukuyikhandela alethe ubudisi obukhulu eba- ntwini bekhethu. Ibangele uku-phazamiseka okukhulu noku-budisi. Nanyana singakhomba iragelophambili esiyenzileko ekuriyadiseni ukurhatjheka kwengogwana le, kusese kunengi okumele kwenziwe. Iimveke neenyanga ezizako zizokuba budisi khulu be-godu zizokufuna ukuzinikela okunengi khulu ebantwini be- khethu.

Umbulalazwe lo uzoku-raga nokuba mthwalo obudisi emphakathini wethu nema-Zikweni wethu. Ije sivula kabuthaka ukusebenza ko-

mnotho, umthelela ebujameni bepilo yabantu uzokukha- mbelela. Nalokha ubujamo bu-sese nje, ikghonakalo yerarano, ukutjhayisana nokunganeliseki kuzakuhlala kukhona.

Njengombana sisebujameni obubudisi nobuqokemekobu, umThethosisekelo umhla- hlandlela wethu oqakatheke khulu nevikeleko lethu elili-gugu kithi. Intando yenengi yethu eqinileko inikela ama- ndla nokubekezela esikutlho- gako ukwehlula esikutlho- gako ukwehlula umraro onge-neleleko lo.

Njengoba urhulumende azwisisa bonyana inengi labenziimbawo ekhotho ba- khuthazwa yihlalakuhle yabo boke, ye-ke nathi kumele sihlo-niphe bonyana iinqunto ezitha-thwa ngurhulumende zenziwa ngommoya omuhle begodu zinqophe ukuragela phambili, ingasi ukulimaza iindingo za-maSewula Afrika.

Ekuliqaloqangi lethu kuna- kho koke kuhlenga amaphilo. Zoke iinqunto zethu zisekelwa sidingo sokwenza ngcono amalungelo wepilo nesithunzi njengalokha kutlolwe ku- mthethosisekelo wethu.

Sizokuraga nokwamukela imibono ehlukahlukeneko – ngitjho nephikisako – ma- yelana nendlela yelizweloke yokulwisana nengongwana i-corona. Yoke imibono ilisizo begodu iyasisiza ukusebenza ngcono nangobuhlakani.

Ukusetjenziswa kwama-lungelo asisekelo wokuveza amazizo, ukuhlanganyela nokukhuluma kusilinganiso se-pilo ehle yentando yenengi yethu. Kodwana ngaphezu kwalokho, amalungelo la aqakathekile epumelelweni yo- mzabalazo wethu welizwe-loke nokubambisana ukwehlula ingogwana i-corona. v

Silusapho Nyanda

Abantu ababhema-ko esele bange- nwe yingogwa-

na i-corona (i-COVID-19) basengozini yokukhahlu-nyezwa khudlwana bu- lwelobu.

I-COVID-19 iyingogwa- na esahlela amaphaphu nomzila wokuphefumula. Ngalokho-ke, abantu aba- bhemako banekghonakalo ebuyelelwe kabili ukuthi b a n g e n w e b u l w e l o b u b e b a n e n a m a t s h w a y o akhambeleleko kunabantu abangakhange khebabheme, kutjho uDorh. Catherine Egbe, onguSosayensi no-Solwazi eZikweni lomKha- ndlu weSewula Afrika weze- Rhubhululo ngokweLapha okuPhathelene noTjwala, iGwayi neenDakamizwa.

UDorh. Egbe uthi uku- bhema kwaziwa ngokuba

ngunobangela wamalwele amanengi angelaphekiko begodu kuletha ama- tshwayo akhambeleleko we-COVID-19.

Lokhu kufaka hlangana:• ikankere • u b u l w e l e b e h l i z i y o

“Nanyana ukubhema kungasikho okungabangela bunqopha bona umuntu obhemako abulawe yi-C O V I D - 1 9 , k o d w a n a kunomthelela omumbi ne- kghonakalo ekulu yokuba namalwele angenza umuntu abulawe yingogwana le,” ubeke watjho.

Ngaphezulu kwalokho, ukubhema isegerede kuli-maza pheze zoke izitho zomzimba begodu kwehlisa ikghono lamasotja womzi- mba lokulwa namalwele.

UDorh Egbe uthi uku-

bhema igwayi kukhiqiza amakhemikhali angaphezu kweenkulungwana ezili- khomba; kilamakhemikhali ama-250 aqinisekiswe ukuba netjhefu emzimbeni womu- ntu. Kilamakhemikhali ama-250, ama-69 wawo aziwa njengalawo abangela ikankere. Lokhu kwehlisa amalanga wokuphila wa-bantu ababhemako kunye newalabo abarholelwa li- gwayi elibhenywa ngabanye, kuhlathulula uDorh. Egbe.

Uthi labo abanobuLwele besiFuba (i-TB) baziingulani ezisengozini ekulu mayelana ne-COVID-19.

“Bekube gadesi, kunobu-fakazi obuveza bonyana labo abanobulwele besifuba sommoya/i-Asma base- ngozini yokucaphazeleka lula ngitjho nokuhlonga- kala nabangathelelwa yi- COVID-19. Alikho irhu- bhululo esele likhutjhiwe eli-

khombisa ubungozi beengu-lani ze-TB kodwana iHlanga-no yezamaPhilo yePhasiloke (i-WHO) iyelelise ngokuthi abantu abane-TB bangaba nemiphumela emimbi epi- lwenabo nange banga- ngenwa yi-COVID-19.”

Ukuthengiswa kwegwayiU M e n g a m e l i u - C y r i l Ramaphosa gade ameme- zele ngaphambilini bonyana ngaphasi kwesiGaba sesiNe, ukuthengiswa kwegwayi kuzokuvunyelwa kodwana urhulumende watjhugu-lula isiquntweso ngemva kobana uMkhandlu oLuleka ngeNgogwana ye-Corona weliZweloke ukhulumisene nabosolwazi bezokwelapha nababambindima abavela emikhakheni ehlukahluke-neko.

UDorh. Egbe uthi ngapha- ndle kwemithelela emimbi nenqophileko epilweni ya-bantu ebangelwa kubhema, isegerede iyabelanwa na- mkha iyabhenyiswana be-godu lokhu kubanga ibhe- bhedlho ekurhatjhekeni kwe-COVID-19.

“Khumbulani bona abantu bakhonjelwe bona babale-kela ukuzithinta emlonyeni, epumulweni nemehlweni. Esikhathini esinengi umuntu nakabhemako haye anga- kghoni ukulandela isikopilo lehlanzeko ekhethekileko,” kutjho uDorh. Egbe.

Njengombana ilizwe le-khethu linezinga eliphezulu labantu abaneNgogwana yeNtumbantonga i-HIV/AIDS), i-TB, ukusetjenziswa butjhwileni kweendakami-zwa nokusela khulu utjwala, hlangana nokhunye, uDorh. Egbe ukholwa bonyana urhumende uthethe isiqunto

esifaneleko ngombandela lo.Uthi urhulumende usebe-

nzisa ibuthelelominini- ngwana esele ligadangisiwe nakathatha amagadango wokuyelela nokuraga noku-vikela iSewula Afrika eku- qalaneni nezehlakalo esele sizibone emazweni afana ne-Italy.

“Akusikho ukwalelwa kwasafuthi; kumele abantu bakuzwisise lokho,” ubeke bunjalo.

Gadesi, iSewula Afrika inesibalo esincani seemphe- fumulisi begodu nakunge- nzeka isibalo salabo abatlho- ga iimphefumulisi sikhule ngesikhathi sokulwa nombu- lalazwe lo, ilizwe lizozifu-mana lisemtarini begodu lingakghoni ukusiza labo abatlhoga khulu isizo.
