IZOGXILA EMABHIZINISINI ASAFUFUSA INGQUNGQUTHELA E-RAY NKONYENI
SEBEFISA nokuthi zifundele emnyango izingane zabo abazali babafundi baseDinuntuli Primary School, KwaNgono, eNkandla, ngenxa yovalo mayelana nokuphepha kwazo njengoba lesi sikole kubukeka singawa noma yinini. Ngokuthola kweLANGA, izindonga zalesi sikole zisesimeni esibi kanti uma izulu lina, abafundi bayagodukiswa ngenxa yokuthi indlela itsheboya ( asbestos) elibhoboke ngayo, kuvele kufane nokuthi bafundela phandle, imvula iyazingenela nje.
Ilungu lesigungu esilawula isikole, uNkk Cashephi Makhaye, lithi kungcono nokuthi izingane zifundele emnyango ngoba ngaphakathi sekungaphuma isidumbu. Lithi isikole sakhiwa emnyakeni yo-1970 kanti isimo saso senza kube nzima kubafundi.
“Kube nesichotho eminyakeni edlule esiqhubezele umonakalo. Esikusabayo manje wukuthi njengoba izindonga zigqebhuka futhi zinyakaza nje, zibeka impilo yezingane engcupheni. Itsheboya liqathakela emakhanda ezingane, imvula iyagobhoza ingena phezulu, kumosheka amafayela othisha kanti nezincwadi zitholakala zintanta emanzini kwesinye isikhathi.
“Ngisho ugesi kawushubheki (ukufaka amapayipi) sikole ngoba isakhiwo kasivumi. Udaba lwalesi sikole kade kwasa luxoxwa, kusukela ngo-2012. Kwafakwa isicelo sokuba silungiswe kodwa kulokhu kuyinkombankombane.
“Sesiyakuncamela nokuthi izingane zifundiselwe phansi kwesihlahla ngoba phela impilo yazo yiyona ebalulekile, sifuna ukwakhelwa isikole esisha,” kusho uNkk Makhaye.
Uthi le nkinga yenza abazali bangabe besavuma ukuba izingane zabo ziye kulesi sikole esisetshenziswa yizigodi eziningi kule ndawo esakhiwe kuyona. Utshele leli phephandaba ukuthi ngesonto eledlule kulahlwe inqwaba yokudla okonakalile ngenxa yemvula.
“Izingane ziyakhwehlela ngenxa yomswakama,” kusho uNkk Makhaye.
Okhulumela uMnyango wezeMfundo KwaZulu-Natal, uMnu
Muzi Mahlambi, uthe bazolandelela nababhekelele ezengqalasizinda ukulungisa le nkinga. sikole eqabula umfundi kanti omunye kwaba wukuthi uthandane naye lo mfundi nyakenye.
Kuthiwa lesi sigameko sabonwa ngothisha ababili besifazane kodwa okuthiwa bayaphika, bathi abaphathi besikole basebenzise amagama abo ukuzama ukuxosha abasolwa.
Lo mfundi kuthiwa wabhala umbiko wanikwa umnyango, evuma ubudlelwano bakhe bezothando bangonyaka odlule nothisha nesigameko sokubonakala eqabulana nomunye kanti encwadini efungelwe emaphoyiseni, uthi isitatimende sokuqala wasenziswa ngenkani esatshiswa ngabaphathi besikole.
IZOGXILA ekuthuthukiseni osomabhizinisi abasafufusa abasebancane, abesifazane nabaphila nokukhubazeka ingqungquthela kaMasipala waseRay Nkonyeni ezoba namhlanje ngoLwesine, ePort Shepstone Civic Centre.
Le ngqungquthela ebizwa ngeRay Nkonyeni Mayoral Business Fair, izokwenziwa ngaphansi kwesiqubulo sokuvuselela osomabhizinisi abasafufusa, babe yingxenye yokuthuthukiswa komnotho oshayekile kulo masipala ngenxa yokubheduka kweCoronavirus edala iCovid-19.
IMeya yaseRay Nkonyeni, uNkk Nomusa Mqwebu, inxuse bonke osomabhizinisi abasafufusa ukuba babeyingxenye yale ngqungquthela, njengoba bezobe becotshelelwa ngolwazi olunzulu olungabasiza ukuthuthukisa amabhizinisi abo.
“ICovid-19 ibe nomthelela omubi kakhulu emnothweni, kawukho umkhakha ongashayekanga ngenxa yalesi sifo. Ukuvuselela umnotho ngemuva kokuhlasela kweCoronavirus, kudinga ukuba uhulumeni uqinisekise ukuthi bonke abathintekile bayasizakala noma ngabe mancane kangakanani amabhizinisi abo,” kusho uNkk Mqwebu.
Ugcizelele ukubaluleka kosomabhizinisi abasebancane emnothweni. Ngaphandle kosomabhizinisi, nomphakathi uvumelekile ukuba yingxenye yale ngqungquthela njengoba nawo ungathola ulwazi olungawusiza ukuxosha ikati eziko.
Kungenwa mahhala kanti abafisa ukuba yingxenye yayo kuzomele bahloniphe imigomo ehambisana nokunqanda ukubhebhetheka kweCoronavirus.
Kule migomo kubalwa ukuthi abantu bagqoke izifonyo, bahlanze izandla futhi kube nokuqhelelana.
Wunyaka wesithathu le ngqungquthela yenziwa kulo masipala kanti ngokwesitatimende esikhishwe yilo masipala, imiphumela yayo isiqalile ukuthela izithelo.
Kulindeleke ukuba ihanjelwe yizikhulu zikahulumeni, osomabhizinisi asebezakhele igama, abaqhamuka emabhange ahlukene, abakwaSars nezinye izinhlaka ezahlukene ezibhekelela ukusebenza kwamabhizinisi.
