Njengoba izivivinyo zikamatikuletsheni seziphelile, ingqikithi manje isikuphendukela esigabeni esibucayi sokumaka. UNgqongqoshe wezeMfundo eyisiSekelo, uSiviwe Gwarube, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi zonke izikhungo zokumaka ezingu-181 eNingizimu Afrika yonkana sezihloliwe futhi zikulungele ukusingatha abamaki ababalelwa ku-50,000.
Ekhumbula ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa, uGwarube uphawule ukuphazamiseka okuncane, okunezinselelo ezinkulu ezibangelwa izimo zezulu ezimbi kakhulu eMpumalanga Kapa. E-Eastern Cape izikhukhula zivimbele abafundi abangu-319 ukuthi babhale izivivinyo zabo. Kodwa-ke, izinhlelo zezimo eziphuthumayo zaqinisekisa ukuthi laba bafundi banikezwa ithuba lokubhalwa kabusha.
UMqondisi Omkhulu Wokuhlola Kukazwelonke, uRufus Poliah, ugqamise izinyathelo ezithathwayo ukuze kubhekwane nezinselele ezihlobene nesimo sezulu. “Uthisha we-Geography ngokusiqeqesha wasinikeza imibiko enemininingwane yesimo sezulu. Lokhu kwasivumela ukuba silindele futhi silungiselele imvula, iziphepho, ukushisa okukhulu nomoya, size siqaphe amazinga amadamu,” kusho uPoliah.
Imizamo yomnyango yokunciphisa ukuphazamiseka kwesimo sezulu ikhombisa ukukhula kokuqwashisa ngezingozi ezihlobene nesimo sezulu ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kuzwelonke.
