Kodwa lilokhe lisasephansi kakhulu inani lakhona lanxa uhulumende wayethembisa ukuba wayezokufeza lokho ngesikhathi lolohlelo lusungulwa ngenyanga kaNhlolanja lonyaka.
Obona ngokuqhutshwa kwenhlelo enhlanganisweni ye ZDI, uNkosazana Patience Sibanda ulandisa kabanzi ngeHerd Immunity.
“Ma sikhangele ngokweVaccination, uyananzelela ukuthi i-Government yethu, ayila i-strategy sibili esiqotho okokuthi singayenza ukuthi abantu behlatshwe so we can achieve i-Head immunity. So ma ungathi uyakhangela, kwake kwakhulunywa ngokwe mandatory vaccination, akuzange kusebenze. Kwakhulunywa njalo ngokokuthi kuzafakwa ama-vaccination points even lapho abantu abagadela khona amakhombi, amabhasi, amaZUPCO kodwa khathesi sesisiya ekupheleni kukaDecember, asikakuboni khona lokho.”

“So yikho lapho esibona khona ukuthi asila esingathi i-strategy sibili esingayenza ukuthi abantu bahlatshwe ukuze siyifinyelele leyo Head Immunity. So thina ngokubona kwethu, sibona ingathi kuyadingakala ukuthi uhulumende esebenzelane lama CSO’ esebenzelane le Ministry of Health, kuze kuphume le strategy esokuthi abantu singanelisa njani ukuyanelisa leyo Head Immunity.”
Lanxa umsekeli womphathintambo wezempilakahle uDokotela John Mangwiro engazange athanda ukuphendula umbuzo phezu kwaloludaba, uthi uhulumende wakhe wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukukhuthaza lokufundisa abantu ngokuqakatheka kokuhlatshwa ijekiseni leCOVID-19 Vaccine.
“Ngifuna ukukhuthaza umuntu wonke ukuba ayelihlatshwa lelijekiseni, asiyeni hlatshwa ngoba kusiza sonke.”
Umnumzana Sakhelene Moyo, isakhamuzi saseHarare uthi ukhathazekile ngokwehluleka kukahulumende ukufeza izimiso ayezibekele zona esungula uhlelo lokuhlatshwa kwabantu ijekiseni le.
“Sicela uhulumende enze lokho okumele kwenziwe ukuze lingamemetheki leligciwane njalo labantu benze lokho okumele bakwenze ukuze njalo bangalitholi.”
Okwamanje sekusobala kumuntu wonke loba ongasiyo ngcwethi yezempilakahle ukuba uhulumende akayi kwenelisa ukufeza ayezimisele ukukwenza njengoba sekusele insuku ezinlutshwana ukuthi iphele inyanga kaMpalakazi sekuzongenwa kumnyaka ka 2022, ilizwe lingenelisanga ukuhlaba loba ingxenye yesilinganiso ayesibekile.

Sesisesabana lezihlobo labangane, asisahlangani, even emaChurch, asikwanisanga ukuthi sihambe, besilokwesaba. Kasazi kumbe umkhuhlane lowu uyaphela nini. Asilakujabula, asilakuthokoza ezindlini.

Isikhathi esinengi umuntu nxa ebuya eyisihlobo asoke limnike insuku zonezo ezilotshumi ukuthi azehlukanise kwabanye, kodwa uzahle afike angene phakathi komphakathi, okuyingozi kakhulu ngoba abantu bayabe bethelelana khonapha ezimulini lasezigabeni.”

Lo ngumnyaka otshiyeneyo, asizameni ukutshintsha ukwenza okwalesi isikhathi. Sisenzela ukuthi sibalekele ukuthi simemethekise lowu umkhuhlane, kasingaminyani njengalokhu esasijayele ukwenza.

Abezempilakahle lokhu beqina ngenkuthazo kuzulu ukuba angayekethisi ekulandeleni iziqondiso zokuzivikela kuCovid-19.
Inengi labantu libonakala livukela emakilinika lisiyadinga ukuhlaba ijekiseni lokuzivikela eleCovid-19 Vaccine, kodwa inengi lisase lemibuzo ngaloluhlelo njalo abanye bakhala ngokuthi alibaphathi kahle emzimbeni lelijekiseni.
Olwela amalungelo oluntu, uNkosikazi Debra Mukasa ophila ngokuthengisa uthi ubhubhane weCovid-19 seluphazamise kakhulu amabhizimusi abo.
"Asiselathuba lokusebenza sithola ibhizimusi ngoba izikhathi ezihleliweyo sezisenza sitahyise masinyane singathengisanga okuyangaphi kuthi labathengi abasayenelisi ukuthola ithuba lokuba bathenge kuhle kumbe sixoxisane labo bathenge."
Okhubazekileyo ophila ngokuthengisa, uNkosazana Sukoluhle Mhlanga uthi kunzima ukusebenza kulezi insuku kodwa amapholisa awabahlukuluzi.
"Okwamanje sithengisa nzima ngesikhathi seCovid-19 ngoba kuminyene kakhulu edolobheni lakoBulawayo buye asilandawo eziqondileyo zokuthengisela, sekuyisikhathi sezulu impahla zethu ziyanethwa. Amapholisa ekhansili awasihluphi thina esikhubazekileyo udubo yikuswela indawo eziqondileyo zokuthengisela kuminyene kakhulu okulakho ukumemethekisa umkhuhlane."
UMqondisi weBulawayo Vendors and Traders Association, uMnu Michael Ndiweni uthi benza konke okusemandleni abo ukubona ukuba bonke abantu abaphila ngokuthenga bethengisa bayalandela iziqondiso zeCovid-19.

Okwamanje indawo zokuthengisela ziyasilela njalo inengi alilancwadi ezibavumela ukuthengisa njalo sikhuthaza wonke umuntu othengayo lothengisayo ukuba alandele iziqondiso zokuzivikela ukubamba iCovid-19."
USikhwicamfundo Solwayo Ngwenya laye usekhuthaze uzulu ukuba alandele iziqondiso zeCovid-19 kungakhathalekile ukuba ungaphi kwelizwe.
"Ubhubhane lweCovid-19 selibuya liyi Omicron, iyamemetheka kakhulu namathela masinya njalo abantu lokhe bengalandeli ziqondiso zeCovid-19, uma lingaqondisanga inengi lizatshabalala ngoba iOmnicrom akusimkhuhlane wokudlala kulesiminyeminye lokuya emihlanganweni kuqakathekile ukuba abantu balandele iziqondiso zeCovid-19."

Usukhona eZimbabwe Umkhakha Omutsha weCovid-19, oweOmicron
Ele Zimbabwe selilabantu abangaba ngamatshumi amahlanu(50) asebethlolwe batholakala belomhlobo omutsha wegciwane le Covid-19, oweOmicron.
Ekhuluma lentathelizindaba umsekeli womphathintambo wezempilakahle uMnu John Mangwiro, uthe uzulu sokumele aqaphele ngoba lokhu sokukhomba ukuba iCovid-19 isisiza ngolaka njalo leli nani lingaqansa ikakhulu khathesi sesingena kukhefu leKhisimusi.
Uthe ukutholakala kohlobo lwe omicron kuveza ukuba sekungaba lesibanga sesine loba ifourth wave nxa uhulumende lozulu bengabambananga ukulwisana lobhubhane lolu.
“Sithole ukuba ebanwtini abahlolwe bevela eMasvingo Teacher’s College abadlali benguqu bale ikolitshi bonke batholakale belomhlobo owe Covid-19 owe omicron. Abanye njalo abayisikhombisa batholakale belawo lu mkhuhlane”
Uqhubeke esithi kumele abantu beZimbabwe bengameleli ukuvalelwa ezindlini konke bazinikele ukulandela iziqondiso ze World Health Organisation (WHO) bengabanjwanga ngamandla ukwenza njalo.
UMangwiro uphinde waveza ukuba abantu abavela kwamanye amazwe sebevunyelwa uku hlala ezindlini zabo, bengahlangani labanye ku quarantine.
“Labo abavela phandle kwelizwi bazavunyelwa ukuba bahlale ezindlini zabo. Labo abazahlala ezindlini zabo bazakwenze njalo nxa sesibonile indawo abahlala kuzo”
Ingcitshi kwezempilakahle, owake waba ngumphathintambo wezempilakahle kuhulumende womanyano, uMnu Henry Madzorera uthe uzulu weZimbabwe kumele atshiyane lomkhuba wokungalandeli iziqondiso ze WHO.
“Sekumele uzulu wonke ukuba uzulu wonke avikele kumkhuhlane we Covid-19. Kufuze umuntu wonke ageze izandla, singaminyani njalo sizame ukungabuthani sikhathi sonke”
Umhlobo we omicron ngu mkhakha we Covid-19 olokhu ungakazwisiseki ukuthi usabalala ngesiqhubu esingakanani kodwa usesatshelwa ukuba ulolaka ukwedlula yonke imikhakha ethe yaba khona njalo usenelisa ukuziphendula ucatshe ukuba kungabi lula ukuthi ulwiswe ngamasotsha womzimba oyabe uhlatshwe loba ijekiseni lokuzivikela ele vaccine.
Kusenjalo uhulumende wazise ukuba usezaqala uhlelo lokuba izisebenzi zakhe zihlatshwe ijekiseni le Covid-19 elesithathu, ele booster njengendlela yokuvikela uzulu ku mkhakha omutsha lo. Ngasikhathi sinye ekhuthaza abantu abangakahlatshwa ukuba benze njalo ngokuphangisa ngoba lokhu kuyinto emele yenziwe ngumuntu wonke.
Kunje sokuhlatshwe abantu abaphose bafike izigidi ezine-3,8 million ijekiseni yakuqala, okulinani eligoqela abaphose bafike izigidi ezintathu-2,9 million asebehlatshwe amajekiseni womabili.
Uhulumende ubehlele ukuba kuhlatshwe izigidi ezilitshumi-10 million kumbe isilinganiso sokungamatshumi ayisithupha ekhulwini-60%, lapho lumnyaka usiyaphela ukuze leneliswe inani lokuzivikela kwelizwe, I herd immunity.
