Ingcwethi Zempilakahle: Akwaziwa Ukuthi Ijekiseni yeCovid 19 Vaccine Isebenza Okwesikhathi Esinganani Emzimbeni
Ingcwethi kwezempilakahle zithi zisafunda amandla emithi yejekiseni yokuzivikela ukubanjwa yiCOVID -19, eyeVaccine, ehlatshwa abantu eZimbabwe ukuba isebenza okwesikhathi esinganani emzimbeni womuntu. Zithi alukabi khona ulwazi olujulileyo ngayo, abakwaziyo yisikhathi okumele ube ususetshenzisiwe lumuthi kusukela lapho ulungiswa i expiry date kumbe ishelf life.
Lezi ngcwethi zithi lanxa kunjalo, uzulu makangesabi ukuyahlatshwa ijekiseni eyeCOVID - 19 Vaccine, ngoba kuqakathekile ukuzivikela.
Lokhu kuza ngesikhathi kulabanengi abalokhe bemadolo nzima ukuyahlatshwa ijekiseni leyi.
Ingcwethi lezi zithi amanye amajekiseni anjengokuvikela indingindi, Yellow Fever leminye imikhuhlane, iyazakala ukuba ihlala okwesikhathi esinganani emzimbeni womuntu kodwa lo oweCOVID-19 azikabi lolwazi ngawo.
UProfessor Elopy Nimele Sibanda umqondisi wenkampany ye Gamma Laboratories eyinye yalezi ngcwethi ulandisa kabanzi ngalokho.
“Ayisikho okwe Expiry lokho, yikuthi iDURATION OF IMMUNITY, esingathi ngesikhiwa iDuration of Immunity, yiyo esingakayazisisi ngenxa yokuthi iVaccine le yiVaccine entsha. Siyawazi amanye amaVaccine anje ngawe Hepatitis ukuthi ungavele uyihlatshwe engxenye impilo yonke, awusayiphindwa. OYellow Fever, 10 years awusayiphindwa. Amanye adinga ukuphindwa, njengawe Flue, adinga ukuphinda iminyaka leminyaka. Le sisayifunda, kasikakwazi ukuthi isebenza okwesikhathi esinganani.”
Loba kunjalo, uSibanda uthi kungcono ukuthi abantu bahlatshwe ukuzivikela kulokuyekela.
“ Kodwa nxa umuntu ehlatshiwe iVaccine, kasikakwazi ukuthi isebenza okweminyaka emingaki ngenxa yokuthi yiVaccine entsha. Esikwaziyo okwakhathesi yikuthi labo abaqalisayo ukuVaccinator, lokhe besithi abantu bonke bala maAnti-bodies aphezulu, kusiya kulandela khonokho ukuthi sazi ukuthi aphela nini. Kodwa sicabanga ukuthi angathatha umnyaka kumbe iminyaka emibili ilokhe ingakapheli iVaccine leyo emzimbeni, ukusebenza kwayo kungakapheli.”
Okhokhela kunhlelo zokumelana le COVID - 19 esebenzela uhlangothi lwabehofisi kamongameli ( Chief National Coordinator in the Office of the President ) uDr Agnes Mahomva utshele uzulu kunsukwana ezisanda kwedlula ukuba ingcwethi kwezempilakahle zilokhe ziphakathi kokudingisisa ulwazi olwanelayo ngalomkhuhlane weCOVID-19 kanye lemithi esetshenziswayo.
“Kumele siwahlatshwe lawo majekiseni okwamanje, wona lawo akhona njalo engavumulekileyo. Yiloba yiphi indlela yokuzivikela, iqakathekile kakhulu, iba ngengezelela kulezo ezikhona.”
Kodwa eyinye ingcwethi ecubungula ngezombusazwe lenhlalakahle kazulu umnumzana Tjenesani Ntungakwa uthi lusaselulutshwana ulwazi kuzulu okuyikho osekubangela ukuba abanye bathandabuze ukuyahlatshwa ijekiseni yeCOVID-19 Vaccine.
“Indaba yeVaccine leyi kayiqondakalanga, ekuqaleni. Inengi labantu kukhanya bayesaba, ukubona kwami, akuzange kufakwe ulwazi olunengi ukuthi ma sekuhlatshwa leyo Vaccine, kuyiwa ngaphi. Okwesibili, ama Vaccine lawa, selungiswa emazweni amanengi, kule Vaccine yeRussia, kule yeChina, kule yangaphi ngaphi. Kutsho ukuthi akula Vaccine esingathi yiyo, esingathi ngesiKhiwa yiStandard, elohlobo oluzangena wonke muntu, zonke ndawo.”
Eyinye njalo ingcwethi kwezempilakahle, owake waba ngumpathintambo wezempilakahle ngesikhathi sikahulumende womanyano uDokotela Henry Madzorera uthi kungcono ukuzivikela isikhathi sisasekhona kulokukhala kusasa.
“ Ingozi enkulu engiyibonayo mina, engaba khona nxa abantu bengasalihlatshwanga lelijekiseni khona manje, yikuba uzulu uyabe engengavikelekanga. Kungangcono ngilihlatshwe lelo jekiseni mina kulokuhlala ngingavikelekanga. Yebo, lolu ludaba olutsha, akekho ongatsho ukuba kuyini okungenzakala kodwa silokulithembanyana okuthize ukuthi leyo mithi ngesebenza ngokwesibanga esiphezulu.”
Abogatsha lwezempilakahle babika ukuba abafika phose inkulungwane eziyisithupha - 5 701 beye bayahlatshwa ijekiseni lokuzivikela, okwakuqala ekutshoneni kwelanga layizolo.
Asebephinda kumbe ukuhlatshwa ijekiseni lesibili, isecond dose, sebezinkulungwane ezedlula kancane amatshumi amabili - 21 603 ngemva kokuba abafika phose amakhulu amathathu - 278 beye bayahlatshwa ekutshoneni kwelanga layizolo ngeSonto mhla 4 Mabasa.
Amakholwa esiKristu Athi I-Phasika ka2021 Iduma
Amakholwa esiKristu aweZimbabwe, lonyaka akhala ezimathonsi ngokwehluleka ukuhlangana bengamabandla apheleleyo, ngePasika, kulandela ukuhlasela kobhubhano lweCovid-19.
I-Phasika iqakathekile kwabokholo lwesiKristu emhlabeni jikelele okugoqela eZimbabwe ngoba kulapho ananza khona ukubethelwa kukaJesu Kristu esiphambanweni efela izono zalabo abakholwa kuye ukuba bathethelelwe.
Lonyaka njenganyakenye ukunanzwa kwePasika bekwehlukile kungenxa yemigoqo eyethulwa nguhulumende elandela iziqondiso zenhlanganiso yomanyano wamazwe womhlaba eye World Health Organization yokumelana leCovid 19, eziyalisa abantu ukubuthana bebanengi.
UMfundisi Useni Sibanda uthi iEaster likhefu eliyinsika yamakholwa amanengi.
“Isikhathi seEaster siqakathekile kithi thina amakholwa yiso isikhathi esikhumbula khona ukufa lokuvuka kukajesu ivangeli lethu limi ngalesi isikhathi singumgogodla wevangeli lesiKristu ukuthi uJesu wafa wavuka kwabafileyo wathatha izono zethu. Ngalesisikhathi kunzima kakhulu ukuthi kubelamaconference kodwa ngenxa yokuthi kunqunyiwe ukuba abantu bahlangane bebalutshwana amabandla ahlangana ebulenjini akusoze kufane lonyaka loba kuzaba labambalwa abahlanganayo.
UNkosikazi Lynette Dube olikholwa lesiKristu uthi zinengi indlela zokunanza iPasika abantu bengabuthananga.
“Kuqakathekile ukuba abantu balandele iziqondiso ezifakiweyo zokuba kuhlangane abantu abangamatshumi amahlanu ukuze kuvikeleke ukumemetheka kweCovd-19. Amabandla lawo angasebenzisa inkundla zebulenjini ekuphatheni inkozo ukuze wonke umuntu abeyingxenye yeEaster.”
UMnu Nqobizitha Donga uvumelane loNkosikazi Dube.
“Sikhuthaza wonke amabandla ukuthi belandele iziqondiso zelockdown ezokugqoka amamask, basanitize, social distancing endaweni abangenela kuzo bazame ngazo zonke indlela ukuthi umkhuhlane ungamemetheki ngalesiskhathi seEaster kucine kudala ithird wave.”
U-Donga uthi amabandla okholo lwesiKristu alakho ukuba lenkonzo zamaservices amanengi ngelanga.
“Esingakutsho ngenani le50 yikuthi amabandla abangakwenza yikuba lenkonzo ekuseni emini lantambama. Uma isikhwama semali sivuma bangene ebulenjini babelenkonzo ukuze khuhlane ungamemetheki.”
Kulandela ukuqhamuka kobhubhano lweCovid-19, nyakenye inhlelo ezinengi emhlabeni jikelele okugoqela laseZimbabwe, ziphazamisekile ngoba kube lemigoqo enqabela abantu ukuba bahlangane bebanengi ukuze igcikwane lingamemetheki lula.
Le yiPhasika yesibili ukuphazamiseka ngenxa yokuqhamuka kweCovid 19, kodwa lonyaka kube ngconywana ngoba uhulumende weZimbabwe eyekethise iziqondiso zokubuthana kwabantu evumele ukuthi abamabandla bangabuthanisa abantu abangamatshumi amahlanu sikhathi sinye.
Uhulumende Usebenzisa i$10Million Ukuthenga Amajekiseni Okuzivikela kuCovid 19
Uhulumende uveza ukuba usesebenzise izigidi ezedlula ezilitshumi - USD$10 Million, ukuthenga amajekiseni womuthi wokuzivikela kuCOVID - 19 ayedlula kancinyane isigidi - 1,2million doses.
Lokhu ngokunye kokuvezwe ngumsekeli kamphathintambo wezempilakahle uDr John Mangwiro lapho ephendula imibuzo yentathelizindaba ngemva kokwethulelwa kwazo okuphume emhlanganweni wedale labaphathintambo, iPost Cabinet Press Briefing ngoLwesibili.
“Isisedlula izigidi ezilitshumi imali esisetshenzisiwe, ungahlanganisa. Ifika kubo 10million 700 thousand lenye phezulu. Ungabala, uhlanganise uzaphuma lempendulo yakho. Kungakho eyedlula izigidi ezilitshumi zemali yakweleMelika.”
Osebenza kuhlangothi lwezokukhulumisana lozulu enhlanganisweni ye Community Youth Development Trust - CYDT eGwanda unkosazana Bongiwe Dube uthi iyadanisa inkulumo ka Dr Mangwiro.
“Impendulo ekhulunywe ngu Dokotela uMangwiro ivusa inkophe ikakhulu elizweni elinjengele Zimbabwe elikhangelane lenhlupho zomnotho. Nxa kuyikuthi imali edlula $USD10Million yasentshenziswa ekuthengeni ivaccine kutsho ukuthi imali engaphosa ifike i100 million izasentshenziswa ekuthengeni ivaccine yabantu abayi10 million. Leyo mali iyavela ngaphi?”
Uthi uyazibuza umaDube ukuthi ivela ngaphi inkalakatha yemali engaka elizweni lapho uhulumende avele ezehlulekela.
“Ngikhuluma nje, uhulumende uyehluleka ukunakekela abantu ngokuba nika ukudla ngoba ngenxa yomkhuhlane weCOVID 19 abantu abanengi bakhangelane lendlala. Lanxa ukuthengwa kwevaccine kuqakathekile kakhulu empini lomkhuhlane weCOVID 19, uhulumende ubhekane lezinto ezinengi ezifuna ukulungiswa njalo ezifuna imali ngakho imali yokuthenga ivaccine eqanjwayo iyethusa kakhulu ngoba kutsho ukuthi abantu bazaqedwa yindlala njalo imigwaqo ayisoze ilungiswe imali yonke isiphelele kuvaccine.”
Isiphathamandla senhlanganiso yabalwela ilungelo labaphila legciwane eyeZimbabwe HIV and AIDS Activist Union community Trust - ZHAUCT umnumzana Stanely Takaona uthi kumele abhekwe ngelihlo lokhozi uhulumende kundlela asebenzisa ngayo imali yelizwe.
“Sikubonile esikhathini sangemuva, umphathintambo wezempilakahle obekhona ngaleso sikhathi lezinye iziphathamandla zakhe, sebehanjiswa emthethwandaba besetheswa umlandu wokutshaphaza imali.”
Kodwa umnumzana Majaha Sibindi wasemzini weWarren Park, eHarare uncoma imizamo kahulumende le.
“Kuyabongeka njalo siyakuncoma lokho okwenziwe nguhulumende ukuthenga umuthi lo oweVaccination. Kuyatshengisa ukuthi uyabanakekela abantu bakhe elizweni, siyabonga kakhulu.”
Ndawonye uhulumende usethenge amajekiseni awedlula isigidi esisodwa - 1, 2million nxa kuhlanganiswa ayemukelwe ngoLwesibili ntambama ohlobo lwe Sinovac wona athengwe kweleChina lavele kweleIndia.
Phezu kwalawo uhulumende asethe wawathenga, kulamanye awanikezwe njengesipho ngabeChina leIndia.
Uhulumende uthi ukhangelele ukuba kuhlatshwe abantu abangaba yizigidi ezilitshumi - 10million kumbe isilinganiso sokungamatshumi ayisithupha ekhulwini - 60% ukuze ilizwe libe ngelivikelekileyo kulolubhubhane lweCOVID - 19.
Abezempilakahle bathi ekutshoneni kwayizolo besebesedlula kancinyane inkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa - 72 944 abahlatshwe ijekiseni lokuzivikela kumkhuhlane wobhubhane lweCOVID-19 selokhu luqalileyo ngenyanga kaNhlolanja.
Abedlula kancinyane inkulungwane ezintathu - 3 193 kungabahlatshwe izolo kuphela kuthi abedlula inkulungwane eyodwa - 1 063 kungabekade sebehlatshwa okwesibili. Sebesedlula izigidi ezilitshumi - 12 922 asebephinda ukulihlatshwa lelijekiseni selokhu loluhlelo lwaqalwayo.
Impumela ekhitshwe ngabezempilakahle ekutshoneni kwelanga langoLwesibili etshengisa isimo kwezokusabalala kwalomkhuhlane weCOVID - 19 iveza ukuba sebefika phose inkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane - 36 858, asebefunyenwe belegcikwane leli lokhu laqhamukayo nyakenye, okugoqela abazinkulungwane phose amatshumi amathathu lanhlanu - 34 636 babo abagule basila kulumkhuhlane, kwabhubha abedlula inkulungwane lengxenye babo - 1 521.
