Inani labakhwetha ababhubhileyo ngexesha lokwaluka ebusika linyuke laya kumashumi amane anesibhozo (48), nto leyo ephakamisa inkxalabo entsha malunga nokhuseleko lweendlela zokwaluka zemveli.
Usekela Mphathiswa woLawulo lweNtsebenziswano kunye neMicimbi yeMveli (COGTA) uZolile Burns-Ncamashe uthi iMpumalanga kunye neMpuma Koloni ziphakathi kwenani eliphezulu lababhubhileyo.
IMpumalanga ibhale inani labakhwetha abalishumi elinesibhozo (18) ababhubhileyo, ngelixa iMpuma Koloni ibike ishumi elinesine (14), nto leyo ethetha ukuba la maphondo mabini abhala ngaphezulu komyinge wamashumi asixhenxe ekhulwini (70%) abo bonke abantu ababhubhileyo ngexesha lokwaluka.
UBurns-Ncamashe uthi abasemagunyeni bakhathazekile ngokwanda kwabantu ababhubhileyo kwiphondo laseMntla Ntshona, kunye neengxelo zokubanjwa kwabantu abanxulumene nezenzo zokwaluka eGauteng.
Uyongeza ngelithi ukwanda kwezikolo zokwaluka ezingekho mthethweni eFreyistatha kusengumngeni omkhulu.
Ngelixa amanye amaphondo ebhale iziganeko ezimbalwa, uBurns-Ncamashe ugxininise ukuba ukufa ngakunye kuninzi kakhulu kwaye akukho kufa okunxulunyaniswa nokwaluka okwamkelekileyo.
