Inengi labomama beMatshetsheni bebephila ngokulima besiyathengisa umumbu, amatamatisi lokunye eGwanda ukuze baziphilise lemuli zabo, kodwa ukumiswa kwalezinhlelo sekulethe ubunzima obuphindwe kabili.
Omama abaxoxe leStudio 7 bathi impilo iqhubeka isiba nzima mihla ngemihla ngenxa yendlala ababhekane layo lokusilela kwamanzi. UNkosikazi Simolina Ncube oyisakhamuzi seDambashoko uthi bebesenelisa ukuphila ngenhlelo zabo zokuthelezela kodwa okwamanje basenkangala ngenxa yokumiswa kwalezinhlelo ukuze kulondolozwe amanzi.
“Besilenhlelo ezimbalwa, ibikhona eNtandokazulu, ikhona eBambazonke labangapha eSilikwana , okwamanje kuvaliwe ngenxa yamanzi ,inkomo lazo vele aziselawo amanzi okunatha labantu baselawo sesephiwa inkonxa eyodwa kanye ngelanga.

Abantu abafika phose izigidi ezilitshumi eZimbabwe babhekane lendlala enkulu kakhulu edalwe yisikhudumezi somkhathi ese-El Nino.
