Balishumi elinesine (24) bebonke abakhwetha abathe babhubha eMpuma Koloni ngethuba lolwaluko lwasebusika.
Ixesha lokwaluka lasebusika liqukunjelwe kule mpelaveki kweli phondo. Umkhwetha wamva nje ubhubhe kukwenzakala emva kokuba indlwana yakhe ithe yatsha kuQumbu.
Abakhwetha abathandathu babhubhe ngenxa yolwaluko olungekho mthethweni, logama abanye abaswelekileyo kuthiwa kungenxa yokuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni kunye nesepticemia.
UMphathiswa weSebe leNtsebenziswano kuRhulumento neMicimbi yeMveli (COGTA) uZolile Williams, ubongoze abazali noluntu ukuba badlale indima ebonakalayo ukusindisa ubomi babantwana babo.
“Abazali basaqhubeka nokuvumela abantwana babo ukuba boluswe ngoogqirha abangaqeqeshwanga, ngoku kunzima ukuba urhulumente enze nantoni na xa abazali befihla izikolo kwaye bathathe inxaxheba ngokungekho mthethweni kule nkqubo. Ke, ndisahlaba ikhwelo kubazali ndithi ukuze ulwaluko lwesintu luphumelele, abazali kufuneka badlale indima yabo ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukudlula ebudodeni kuqhutywa kwindawo ekhuselekileyo.”
Abathathi-nxaxheba bathi kuyadanisa ukuxela ukusweleka rhoqo ngexesha lonyaka.
