Abalimi abakhangelelwe ukwabelwa umhlabathi yilabo abasebebalekele emazweni agoqela eleUnited States, United Kingdon, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Australia le South Africa.

Abanye ngabantu abasuka ezindaweni bayahlala kweyinye iprovince siyakwazi ukuthi kwezinye indawo amaplazi aphiwa abantu abavela endaweni ezikhatshana ezinjengeMasvingo ukuthi mhla umuntu kwathiwa aphume eplazini lelo ngoba selinikezwe Omunye umuntu ikakhulu ongumlungu kuzamangalisa njalo kuzadala ingxabangxoza ikakhulu ngoba labantu batshelwa ukuthi abelungu ngabantu abangalunganga.”

Aluba ucacile ukuthi bayabe sisiswa emaplazini lawa angasetshenziswayo ngabe kuyezwakala kodwa uthi sebengabuya emaplazini nanso ingozi.”

Umnunzana Thembelani Dube, isakhamuzi sakoBulawayo, uthi uHulumende wayevele etshilo ukuthi abantu bangakhi izakhiwo ezidulayo kakhulu ngoba umhlaba ungasiwabo.

“Siyananzelela ukuthi uhulumende wayethe abantu abasemaplazini bangakhi izakhiwo eziqinileyo ngoba abakaphiwa indawo leyo permanent ngalokho ke siyakwazi ukuthi umhlaba ngokahulumende so ulakho ukuthi umuntu asuswe la asiwe laphayana sokusiya ngokuthi isivumelwano sithini. Injongo yikuthi ahanjiswe lapha amandla akhe angasebenza khona, umuntu okhanya elamandla angaphezulu abiselwe kumbe afakwe lapho ukuze kube leproduction. Esisuka sikunanzelele yikuthi kuzabanjani nxa ensukwini ezizayo sokuthe kwafika omunye uhulumende laye wathi ade ngibafake lapha sengibasusa.”
