Umangoyi Uzalala Eziko Emizini Eminengi Yabahlali Bemadolobheni: WFP
Izakhamizi zakoBulawayo zihlaba omkhulu umkhosi ngenxa yokukhuphuka kwentengo yemphahla, ukuhla lakho konke okokuziphilisa, osokubenza zehluleke ukunakekela imuli.
Abenhanganiso ebona ngezoncedo lokudla emhlabeni jikelele eye World Food Program bethule umbiko othi imigoqo eyalethwa lubhubhane lweCovid-19, eyokuvala ilizwe isidale udubo lwendlala esihlasele kakubi imuli zemadolobheni kakhulu ukwedlula emaphandleni.
Abenhlanganiso yeWorld Food Program(WFP) bathi inengi labantu baseZimbabwe bazakwehluleka ukuthola khona ukudla kuthi ezinye imuli zidle kanye ngelanga ngoba inengi labantu belihlezi ezindlini lingasebenzi ngenxa yokuvalwa kwelizwe emizameni kahulumende yokumelana leCOVID-19 eyeLockdown.
Unkosikazi Pretty Mpofu omunye wabaphila ngokuthengisa uthi sokunzima kuye ukuthi enelise ukuthola ukudla kathathu ngelanga.
“Abanengi abantu abasebenzi, i-unemployment rate iphezulu kakhulu. Osekusenzakala yikuthi sesisidla kanye ngelanga. Asisenelisi ukudla i-3 meals a day ngoba ukudla kuyadula. Khathesi kunje izikolo zivuliwe abantwana, abantwana bayaphuma nje bengela kudla ngoba sona isinkwa nje okwakhathesi asisakwaniseki asilayo imali yokuthi sithenge. Lokhu kuyaphuca ilungelo lethu ele right to affordable food, sesisidla nje loba yini singasakhethi.”
Umnumzana Eric Ndlovu isakhamuzi sakoBulawayo uthi intengo yokudla ayihambelani leholo.
“Sihlangana lobunzima kakhulu kulezi insuku, izinto zikhwelile lanxa kunjalo uhulumende lokhe e insister ukuthi i-rate yileyi engaphansi kwe RTGS $90 kodwa kwala uZupco kanye yena ul charger nge rater ka $100. Khathesi sitshona singadlanga size siyekudla ntambama ngoba singasakwanisi ukuthi sithenge. Lokhu kubuhlungu kakhulu ebantwaneni ngoba bona bengakujayelanga, sibona ukudla kukhwela kodwa ama salaries lokhe engakhuphuki.”
Umnumzana Ambrose Sibindi umgcinisihlalo we Executive Council wenhlanganiso yezakhamizi eye Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association uthi labo abasebenzayo iholo labo lingaphansi kakhulu khwesikwama esiphilisa imuli yabantu abayisithupha.

Kodwa okungathi kuluncedo kulezi insuku yisikhathi sehlobo umumbu emasimini. Kodwa eqinisweni abantu abasebenzi, lalabo abasebenzayo imali abayiholayo ingaphansi kwe poverty datum line eye RTGS $25 000.”

Kunzima kakhulu, kasisakhulumi ngaboschool fees lemali yezibhedlela, eyokugada. Abantu sebesehluleka lokuthi bondle abantwababo. Lokhu osekudliwa akwakhi mzimba ngokokugcwalisa isisu kuphela, akuseyiyo mpilo elula kithi.”
