Lokhu Lusamisiwe Uhlelo Lokuhlaba Abantu iJekiseni yeCovid 19 Vaccine KweleSouth Africa
Izizalwane zeZimbabwe ezihlala kweleSouth Africa seziveze ukukhathazeka ngohlelo lweCovid-19 Vaccination oluqhubeka lumisiwe kungakhathalekile ngembiko yokuthi iCoranavirus izahlasela ngamandla okwesithathu ebusika.
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.
Ukumemetheka KweCovid 19 Ezikolo ZamaBoarding Schools Kwethusa Abazali
Abazali abalabantwana abasezikolo zemaBoarding Schools bathi sebehlalele evalweni olukhulu ngokuqansa kwenani labafundi asebehlaselwa yiCovid 19. Uhulumende ngakwelakhe icele uthi akukho okwethusayo ngoba ethethe wonke amanyathelo okuvimba ukumemetheka komkhuhlane lo, ezikolo njalo lumsebenzi uyaphumelela okwamagama.
Ukuqonga kwenani labafundi ababanjwe beleCOVID-19, ezikolweni zamaBoarding Schools ezinjenge Sacred Heart, Embakwe High School lezinye yikho osekwenze isabelo seMatebeland South sikhokhele ngabantu, asebefunyenwe belegcikwane leli kumaviki amabili edluleyo.
Unkosikazi Brenda Madlela umzali olomntwana ofunda ehlala khona uchasisa ngokukhathazeka kwakhe.
“Lokhe kuqhubeka kusiya phambili kubanjwe ama cases, sibona inumber ilokhe isanda. Sesithwele nzima lokulala ezindlini asisalali ngenxa yokuti ama cases ayanda le solution yakhona asiyiboni, angazi ukuthi singaphathiswa njani. Kunje abantwana basesikolo thina abazali asibaboni, bekulekhefu besingavunyelwa lokufika kibo sidinga usizo sure. Ukuthi ulale akuvumi ngoba ungakwazi kumbe owakho u safe loba hatshi.”
Umnumzana Thembakuye Moyo ugcinisihlalo weLupane enhlanganisweni yababalisi, eye Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) uthi ukuqansa kwenani leli akubamangalisi ngoba izikolo zavele zavulwa kungela manyathela aqinileyo okwenqabela ukumemetheka kwe Covid-19.
“Nxa sikhangela izinga lenani labantwana ababanjwa yi Covid-19 ezikolo akusethusi, akusimangalisi sasivele sibuzile ukuthi uhulumende selungele yini ukuthi kuvulwe izikolo abantu bakhanya besithi ababalisi abasafuni kubuyela ezikolo. Okwenzakalayo kutshengisela ukuthi kwakungela malungiselelo akhona. Uhulumende aluba uyakubeka kube sebola ukuthi eyehlulekile avumele abanye abantu bamncedise lapha ezikolo.”
Isikhulumeli sogatsha lwezemfundo yePrimary le Secondary Education, umnumzana Taungana Ndoro uthi abazali kabangethuki, uhulumende uthethe amanyathelo eneleyo okumelana le Covid-19 ezikolo.
“Abazali mabangethuki. Ugatsha lwezemfundo lusebenza ndawonye lolwezempilakahle lokondliwa kwabantwana ekufakeni indlela ezokukhangela umkhuhlane we Covid-19 ngokuthi abafundi ndawonye labo bonke abasebenza esikolo bahlolwe nsuku zonke. Ngokunjalo indlela lezi ezifakiweyo ziqhuba kuhle ngoba sezenelise ukubamba labo abalegcikwane leli abakade njalo labo abalomkhuhlane lowu bayahlolwa bekhonale ezikolo”
Usikhwicamfundo Solwayo Ngwenya ongumqondisi wesibhedlela seMpilo uthi lanxa uhlelo lokuhlaba ijekiseni yokuzivikela kuCovid 19, umkhuhlane uyaqhubeka umemetheka.
“Umkhuhlane uyamemetheka kakhulu. Siyaxwayisa njalo lokhu okuhlala kukhulinywa ukuthi kasingahambi kundawo eziminyeneyo, abantu bagqoke ama face mask, bageze izandla. Lokhu yikho kodwa okungasinceda kakhulu. Labasezikolo kabalandele izixwayiso ezifakwe nguhulumende ukwenzela ukuthi umkhuhlane ungamemetheki.”
Uhulumende useqinise abazali ngokuba kulendlela ezifakiweyo ezikolo ezikhangela ngomkhuhlane we Covid-19.
Isikhulumeli sogatsha lwezemfundo umnumnzana Taungana Ndoro uchaze ukuba isikolo ngasinye ngasinye siyakhangelwa ngabezempilakahle abaseduzane lesikolo, lokhu kwenzelwa ukuba uma kungaba lomuntu olezibonakaliso zomkhuhlane lo ahle akhangelwe ngokuphangisa. Ubuye wakhuthaza uzulu ukuba asebenze ndawonye ekumeleni lesi sifo ukuze ababalisi labafundi baphephe kubhubhane lwe COVID-19.
Kusenjalo ababalisi baqhubekela phambili besithi iholo labo alibavumeli ukuhamba nsuku zonke esikolo, ngalokhu bazaqhubekela phambili besebenza amalanga amabili ngeviki ngaphandle kokuba uhulumende akhuphule iholo labo.
Umphathintambo wezemfundo umnumzana Cain Mathema ekhuluma lentathelizindaba izolo ubike ukuba uhulumende uzahlawula laba abasebenzayo kuphela kuthi laba abangasebenziyo abayikuthola iholo.
Kugqitshwa ilanga layizolo isigaba seMatabeleland South besikhokhela ngokuba labantu abalikhulu lanye (101) ababanjwe beleCoronavirus, okwenza kube labantu abangamakhulu amahlanu lasitshiyagalombili (508) abalaliswe phansi sikhulumanje yiCovid-19 njalo siyakhokhela elizweni lokhe ngokuba lenani eliphezulu labantu abagulayo ngalumkhuhlane.
UMongameli Mnangagwa Uncoma uHulumende Wakhe Ngokuqhuba Kuhle Uhlelo Lokuhlaba Abantu Ijekiiseni yeCovid-19 Vaccination
Ele Zimbabwe libikwa liphakathi kwamazwe awezwekazi le Africa, aphezulu kuluhlu lwalawo aqhuba kakhuhle uhlelo lokuhlaba abantu ijekiseni yokuzivikela ukubanjwa yiCovid-19, eye Vaccine.
Kodwa lokhu kwenzakala ngesikhathi ingcitshi zezempilakahle zisithi amajekiseni alungiswa kweleChina kawakasebenzi okwezinga laphezulu.
Emazwini awalobe enkundleni yokuxhumana, eyebulenjini eye Twitter uMongameli Emmerson Mnangagwa uncome inkokheli yogatsha lwezempilakahle, ethi ele Zimbabwe ngelinye lamazwe alitshumi aveza ukuba alenhlelo ezikhanya ziphumelela okwamagama ekuhlabeni ijekiseni yokuzivikela ukubanjwa yiCovid-19. Ekhuthaze uzulu ukuba ahlatshwe nxa ithuba lakhe lokuhlatshwa selifikile.
Ihlandla lakuqala lohlelo lokuhlatshwa kwabantu iCovid 19 Vaccine liqale ngoNhlolanja, kuhlatshwa abasebenza ezibhedlela labezomvikela.
Ihlandla lesibili laba ngelababalisi, abezomvikela, abafundisi labantu abaphila lemikhuhlane engelaphekiyo lalabo abezempilakahle ababe sele kuhlandla lakuqala.
Kodwa ingcitshi zezempilakahle zithi kakukabi leqiniso lokuba amajekiseni ahlatshwa uzulu weZimbabwe, alungiswa kwele China, alamandla angakanani, okumelana lalolubhubhane.
Omunye olomcabango munye nguNkosikazi Nosipho Sithole ongu Mongikazi waseHarare.
“IVaccine le mina kangiyithembi, wonke amajekiseni kumele afundiswe abantu axazululwe kuleli. Kasiphiwanga usizo oleneleyo kabahlabane bona sezibona ukuba ngubani ozaphila”
Lokhu kusekelwe ngu Dokotela Henry Madzorera yena othi kumele uhulumende achasisele uzulu ngokugcweleyo ukuba imithi yele ijekiseni isebenza njani.
“Okuqakathekileyo yikuba uhulumende asitshele ukuba amajekiseni e SInophram le Sino vac asebenza njani ngoba sesihlabe abantu abangi. Sekufuzze sibe lolwazi njalo oDokotela kumele ngabe sebekwazi”
Kodwa umphathintambo wezemali uMnu Mthuli Ncube uthi uhulumende wathenga amajekiseni asebenzayo esithi uyawathemba.
“Sifuna ukubona ukuba siyaba lemali efika ukuba sithole amajekiseni lawa. Imali yethu asingeke sithenge ngayo amajekiseni angasebenziwo ngoba yimali esiyithole kuleli”
Kwathatha amaviki ayisithupha ukuba abantu abafika inkulungwane ezilikhulu -100 000 bahlatshwe ijekiseni lakuqala kuthi izolo ntambana besebezafika ezinye inkulungwane ezilikhulu asebehlatshwe okwesibili.
Uhulumende uthi uzathenga amajekiseni alikhulu nge nyanga okutsho ukuba uzahlaba abantu abayingxenye ye khulu ngenyanga kunyanga eziyisithupha ezilandelayo. Uhulumende uthi abantu abahlatshwa ngelanga selifika kulelo elalikhangelelwe.
Uhulumende useyengezelele indawo zokuhlabela ijekiseni yeCovid 19 Vaccine, elizweni lonke jikelele ukuze umuntu wonke enelise ukufinyelela ukuhlatshwa endaweni eseduzane lalapho ahlala khona.
Uhlelo lokuhlatshwa kwabantu lolu lujonge ukubona ukuba abantu abafika izigidi ezilitshumi-10million bayahlatshwa eZimbabwe, okungaba yisilinganiso sokungamatshumi ayisithupha ekhulwini-60%.
Ugatsha lwe Africa Centre for Disease Control (CDC) luthi ele Morroco yilo eselihlabe abantu abanengi abafika izigidi ezingamatshumi amane- 4 million asebehlatshwe kabili.
Amanye amazwe abikwa eqhuba kuhle kunhlelo zokuhlaba abantu ijekiseni eye Covid 19 Vaccine ngagoqela ele Malaysia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa lele Zimbabwe.
Ele Zimbabwe selithenge amajekiseni afika isigidi esisodwa 1,2 million samadola eMelika kwele China.
Amanye amajekiseni aphose afike ingxenye yesigidi- 400,000 asephiwe ele Zimbabwe ngele China kuthi ele India lalo lanikeza amajekiseni afika inkulungwane ezintantu 35,000.
Abaphila leAsthma Bakhuthazwa Ukulandela Iziqondiso Zokuzivikela kuCOVID-19
Abezempilakahle bathi umkhuhlane wofuba olweAsthma ohlasela amaphaphu ayiwo njalo ahlaselwa ligcikwane le Covid-19, ngakhoke bakhuthaza abaphila lalolufuba ukuba balandele iziqondiso zokuzivikela ukubanjwa yileligcikwane njalo balandele ukuthatha imithi yeAsthma ngoba besengozini enkulu uma bengatholakala beleCovid-19.
Ingcwethi kwezempilakahle zithi ukuqala kwesikhathi somqando kubuya leminye imikhuhlane yofuba, egoqela i-Asthma. Kungakho ngesikhathi lesi sobhubhane lwe Covid-19 abezempilakahle bakhuthaza uzulu ukuba alandelele izixwayiso abaziphiwayo ukuze behlise amathuba okubanjwa yimikhuhlane yesifuba.
Udokotela Mthabisi Anele Bhebhe ukhuluma ngomkhuhlane weAsthma.
"IAsthma ngumkhuhlane wamaphapho, utholakala ebantwini abalama allergies ezikhathini ezinengi. Abantu laba bengahlangana lalokhu esikuthi yi allergen kuyabayenza ukuthi umphimbo wabo usuke uvaleka so lapho umphimbo ungavaleka lezinye inyawo ezingena umoya zibe zincane kusuka kube nzima ukuthi baphefumule kuhle. Kulezinti ezithize ezibenza ukuthi bangene ku attack ezigoqela umqando, ukuhlala labo mangoye, ukupheka ngomlilo, intuthu iyabangenisa kuma attacts. Okunye njalo kundala yikuba umuntu uyabe engekho ku proper medication.”
Uqhubekela phambili uBhebhe elimukisa abantu abaphila leAsthma ukuba baqinise ukuzivikela ukwedlula abanye bonke abantu ukuba bengabanjwa yiCovid-19.
“Ebantwini abale Covid, i asthma isuka ibe worse njengoba i-covid layo i-affecter amaphapho njenge Asthma. Lokhu kutsho ukuthi bengathwala nzima ukuthi baphefumule kuhle ngakho ke sebelakho ukuthi bafe. Ngalokhu kuqakathekile ukuthi benanzelelwe, bekhangelwe kuhle ngudokotela njalo bebe ku-medication yabo ukuze nxa bele attack beyelwatshwe ngokuphangisa. ”
Umnumzana Ferdinand Dlodlo isakhamuzi sakoBulawayo, uthi laba abalomkhuhlane wofuba kabangatholakali lapho okubuthene abantu abanengi ngoba kulula kibo ukuthola iCovid-19.
“Kunzima kakhulu ebantwini abale Asthma ukuthi bezivikele ngesikhathi lesi se Covid-19 ngoba nxa sisithi siyakhangela umuthi omkhulu kuCovid-19 yikugqoka ama face mask ngakho ke ebantwini abale asthma kunzima ukuthi bawagqoke isikhathi eside ngoba abanye bekhala ngokuvaleke bengasaphefumuli kuhle bona bevele bengaphefumuli kuhle ngengela ma mask. Ngakho ke ngalesi isikhathi akumelanga babe sendaweni eziminyeneyo okubuthene khona abantu ngoba kuba lula kibo nxa bengaqgokanga ama-mask ukuthi babambe ubhubhane lwe Covid-19.”
Unkosikazi Ruth Sibanda ophila lofuba lweAsthma uchasisa ukuba yena uziphatha njani ekuphileni layo.
“I-Asthma ayifuni uzonde, ayifuni uthabe kakhulu, ayifuni lapho okule dust khona, ayifuni ukuthi uyethuke. Mina ngisebenzisa imedication okuthiwa yi Salbutamol. Okunye njalo okungathandwa yi Asthma yindawo lapho okule smell khona okunjengama perfumes lawa a-strong kumbe lapho okungcolileyo khona. Nxa ungaba sendaweni ezinjalo usulakho ukuthi ube le attack.”
Umkhuhlane wofuba lweAsthma ngeminye yemikhuhlane engelaphekiyo ihle iphele kodwa kuyisimo esingaba lomuntu okwempilo kumbe siphele sodwa ikakhulu ebantwaneni nxa lapho bekhula. Lesi sifo sidala ukuba umuntu aphefumule nzima, abe lenhlungu zesifuba lomphimbo loba ukukhwehlela okwesikhathi eside.
Kodwa ingcwethi zezempilakahle zithi lokhu kungenqabelwa uma umuntu elandela ukuthatha imithi ayiphiwa ngodokotela. Umuntu ongathathi imithi ayiphiweyo ubikwa ezifaka engozini enkulu ngoba iAsthma, kungumkhuhlane ohlasela amaphaphu ayiwo njalo ahlaselwa yiCovid-19.
Amaphilisi awenyanga eyodwa abiza amadola amathathu eMelika (USD$3), kuthi umuthi ofakwa kokungumtshina kokuwuhotsha owe inhaler, ubiza amadola alitshumi lasithupha eMelika (USD$16).
Izikolo Zithi Abazali Kabathenge AmaTextbooks
Izikolo ezimbalwa ezePrimary leSecondary zakoBulawayo sezithumele isicelo kubazali sokuthi bathenge amabhuku ezifundo amaTextbooks zisithi le ngeminye yemizamo yokwehlisa ukuthelelanwa lula kweCOVID-19.
Kodwa lokhu sokudale ukukhonona ebazalini abathi imali yokuthenga amatexbook abalayo ngoba iholo labo liphansi njalo inengi belingasebenzi ngenxa yeCovid 19 Lockdown.
Umkhuhlane we Covid-19 usulethe inguquko enengi lapho abafundi asebehamba ezikolo okwensuku ezintathu ngeviki, ukuze kwehliswe udubo lokuminyana belandela isiqondiso seSocial Distancing.
Unkosikazi Linda Bhebhe ongumzali olabantwana abasekolweni seprimary lakusecondary koBulawayo, uthi amatextbook akathengeki.
“Uhulumende kangenele ekuthengeleni abantwana ama text books awe Nee curriculaum ezikolo ngoba ngeholo lethu esilitholayo lanngendleko zamabhuku la awesikolo akukwaniseki ukuthi umzali lomzali athengele umtanakhe lelo bhuku. Kodwa njalo ezikolo akukwaniseki ukuthi umtwana afunde ngendlela engelawo lawa matextbooks so sisebunzimeni obukhulu sibili.”
Omunye njalo umzali wasemzini wePumula, uNkosikazi Thobekile Moyo uthi ingwalo ezile ntengo ephansi yilezo ezibophisayo ngoba zithengiswa ezitaladeni.
“Ukuze ukwanise ukuthenga ama textbook lawa yikuthi uthenge ama photocopy, kodwa esikolo bathe ngeke basikhuthaze ukuthi sithenge wona ngoba nxa abantu be ministry of education bengabhoda bethole umtanakho elephotocopy uyabotshwa wena mzali. Kodwa eqinisweni yiwo athengekayo kulalawa asema bookshop. Amabhuku onke eyi 10 ayebe ebisa USD$20 kusiya ku $30, ububi ngama bhuku lawa yikuthi i-print yakhona incane so abantwana asengakwanisa ukuwabala yilaba abakubo grade 3 kusiya phezulu. Nxa ulomtwana okugrade 1 yikuqinisela nje uthenge ama bookshop.”
Unkosikazi Racheal Tshuma olilunga le School Development Committee kwesinye isikolo uthi bakubone kufanele ukuthi bathathe inyathelo elinje.
“Siyananzelela ukuthi umumo wezomnotho wethu elizweni awumanga kuhle, kunje ama school fees akhwelile izikolo ezinengi zibiza RTGS$3000. Kodwa sikubone kufanele ukuthi abafundi bathengelwe ama textbooks abo ukuze bengasebenzisi ndawonye amabhuku ngoba abantwana bephuma ezindlini ezehlueneyo. Nxa singekela ukwenza njalo, abantwana sekungaba yibo abazamemethekisa umkhuhlane we Corona besiphathela lathi ezindlini.”
Umnumzana Taungana Ndoro isikhulumeli sogatsha lwezemfundo yeprimary lesecondary uthi uyalisekela leli nyathelo lokukhuthaza abazali ukuthi bazithengele amatextbooks.
“Lapha ngumzali okuthwe athuthukise umfundo yomtanakhe, lokhu kufana lokuthi umzali abhadale indleko zesikolo kumbe athenge isigqoko sesikolo esomtanakhe.”
Inengi labazali liyakhonona ngentengo yamatextbook ngoba iphezulu kakhulu, iqalela kunkulungwane ezinhlanu zamadola eZimbabwe - RTGS$5000.
Lesi sinqumo sokuthi abazali baphoqeleke ekuthengini ingwalo sibuya njengeminye yemizamo yokwehlisa ukumemetheka kwegcikwane le Corona. Igwalo lezi zibiza madola eMelika angamatshi amabili $20 kulabo abazibhala ngokungekho emthethweni.
Kodwa iziphathamandla zezikolo zikhuthaza abazali ukuthenga ingwalo lezi ezitolo eziqondileyo ngoba besithi lezi ezinye zingenza abazali babantwana babotshwe ngoba zingekho emthethweni.
