Uhulumende weSouth Africa umise uhlelo lokuhlatshwa kwamajekiseni okuvikela icovid-19 ngeviki ephelileyo kulandela imbiko evele kweleMelika yokuthi kucatshangelwa ukuthi ukunquma kwegazi kwabayisithupha abebehlatshwe ijekiseni yeJohnson and Johnson kubangelwe yileli jekiseni.
Njengobake kweleSouth Africa kuyilo lodwa ijekiseni leJohanson & Johnson elikhona okwakhathesi, ukumiswa kwaloluhlelo kutsho ukuthi lume mpo uhlelo lokuvikela uzulu kucoronavirus kusetshenziswa amajekiseni la.
Lokhu yikho osekulethe ukukhathazeka okukhulu kuzizalwane zeZimbabwe ebezikhangelelwe ukuhlatshwa amajekiseni la kweleSouth Africa.
Isizalwane seZimbabwe unkosazana Siphiwe Moyo uthi balokwesaba kakhulu nxa becabanga ingozi engenzeka nxa leligciwane lingaqubuka ngamandla.
“Kuyangethusa kakhulu lokhu ukuthi lokhe kumisiwe ukuhlatshwa kwabantu ivaccine yokuvikela igciwane. Kutsho ukuthi asazi ukuthi sophephelaphi nxa kunjalo. Kutsho ukuthi njengoba umqando vele usungenile kusho ukuthi leli gciwane lizothanyela ukwedlula lokhu esikubonileyo.”
Ngesikhathi kumiswa loluhlelo bekuhlatshwe abantu abaphansi kwezinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu (below 300,000) kuphela. Ngokutsho kwengcitshi kufanele kuhlatshwe abantu abayizigidi ezingamatshumi amane (40 million) kweleSouth Africa ukuze ukumemetheka kwegciwane leconona virus kumiswe kumbe loba kukhona kungabi lomthelela omubi kakhulu.
OweZimbabwe owaziwa kakhulu ngokukhankasela ukuthuthukiswa kwamakhono abaculi njalo engomunye oncintisa ukuthola isicoco se Amaciko Best Music Promoter umnumnzana Mcasiseli Gwaza uthi ukumiswa kwaloluhlelo kutsho khona ukuthi impilo zabo zisengozini.
“Kuyasethusa kakhulu ikakhulu njengezizalwane zeZimbabwe ebesesithembe ukuthi ukujova lokhu kuzabalula nxa siseSouth Africa njalo kusifaka ovalweni kodwa siyathemba ukuthi uhulumeni waseSouth Africa uzoshesha akulungise lokho.”
Ingcitshi zezempilakahle zisanda kuxwayisa iSouth Africa ukuthi kungenzeka icoronavirus ibangele umonakalo omkhulu kakhulu nxa ingathi isiphenduka ngamandla okwesithathu ebusika ifice inengi labantu lingakavikelwa ngala amajekiseni.
Kodwake isikhulumeli sebandla leMthwakazi Liberation Front umnumnzana Chrispen Nyoni uthi akusizi ukuthi uhulumende ajahe ukusungula loluhlelo kungakatholakalali impumela yokuthi lamajekiseni ayingozi kumbe hatshi.
“Ngibona kuyisu eliqondileyo ukuthi umuthilo owokwelapha icovid umiswe kancane kuze kufike izikhathi lapho sebethe bahlolisisa khona amadokotela bakuboneke kuqondile ukuba abantu bangahlatshwa.”
Inengi lithi iSouth Africa kufanele izinuke amakhwapha ngokuhamba ngesiqubu sonwabu kwaloluhlelo ikakhulu nxa kukhangelwa ukuthi sebesedlula izinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amabili asebehlatshiwe emazweni afana leZimbabwe.
Kodwake uhulumende uthi luzaqala kungakapholi maseko loluhlelo kodwa kuqakathekile ukuthi luqale sekusaziwa ukuthi lelijekiseni alifaki impilo kazulu engozini. Uthi njalo usephakathi kokuthenga amajekiseni olunye uhlobo ukuze lawo aqale ukusebenza.
ISouth Africa yiyo ehlaselwe ligciwane lecoronavirus ukwedlula amazwe onke eAfrica. Sebesedlula isigidi lengxenye (over 1.5 million) asebehlaselwe yicoronavirus kweleSouth Africa kanti sebesedlula izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amahlanu (over 53,000) asebefile.
