Abazali Lababalisi Bakhala Ngokungavikelekanga Kwezikolo kuCovid 19

Abenhlanganiso ezimela ababalisi labazali bathi izikolo ezinengi kwele Zimbabwe bezingakalungeseleli okweneleyo ukulotshwa kwemihloliso ka Nhlangula lokuvulwa kwe term yesibili yalonyaka, ngoba kungela mphahla, eyokuvikela ababalisi labantwana ukuthelelana i-Covid 19.

Kodwa abohlangothi lwezemihloliso olweZIMSEC baphambana lalumbono besithi izikolo sezilungele ukulotshwa kwemihloliso yona eqale ngoLwesibili.

Ukulotshwa kwemihloliso kaNhlangula kwenzakala ngesikhathi uhulumende ephambana lesinqumo somthethandaba waphezulu owe High Court esokuthi izikolo kumele zibe lemphahla yokuzivikela efana lamamask lama thermometer andubana zivulwe.

Inhlolisiso eyenziwe yi Studio 7 e Harare, iveze ukuba abantwana labadala balobe imihloliso yangoLwesibili begqoke okokuvala ubuso, ama mask ababuye lawo ngoba izikolo zibikwa zisehluleka ukuwathola enelayo lamathermometer ukuze izifundi zihlolwe ukuba azila zibonelo zeCovid 19 na, zingakaqali ukuloba imihloliso.

Isikhumeli senhlanganiso yababalisi eyeAmalgamated Rural Teachers Union (ARTUZ) uMnu Nation Mudzitirwa uthe uhulumende wehlulekile ukupha izikolo okudingakalayo ukuvikela izifundi lababalisi kuCovid 19.

“Uhulumende kakenzi amalungiselo aneleyo ukuthi izikolo zivulwe ngelanga alibekileyo. Uhulumende kakaleli lokho okutshiyo zinhlanganiso ezifana lathi, lephalamende, kahloniphi idale le High Court, Ngoba waphiwa umlandu yi High Court ukuba imihloliso akumelanga ilotshwe nxa ingahamelani leziqondiso ze WHO”

Okugcizelelwe ngu mkhokheli weyinye njalo inhlanganiso yababalisi eyeProgressive Teachers Union (PTUZ) uMnu Raymond Manjongwe.

"Sesithole imibiko evele kubbaalisi ethi imihloliso eminengi kayenzwanga kuhle. Ababalisi kabayanga emsebenzi njengalokhu esibatshele khona kulandela ukwehluleka ke ZIMSEC ukulandela iziqondiso ze WHO ledale le High Court, behlulekile ukupha izikolo zemakhaya ezimbalwa ama PPEs."

Omele abazali kwesinye isikolo ku khomithi ye School Development Committee (SDC) owale ukuqanjwwa ngebizo uthi izikolo ezinengi emzini weMufakose, eHarare bezingela mphahla yokuzivikela yama PPEs.

“Njengalokho esakuthola kugatsha lwezemfundo, imihloliso iqale kuhle kodwa lokho esakuthenjiswayo ukuzivikela kulumkhuhlane kakubuyanga. Uhulumende kazange alalele lokho okutshiyo ngumthethwandaba.

Omunye umzali we Warren Park uNkosikazi Rita Dube uthi ukuvulwwa kwezikolo asocebo elihle.

“Ngibona engani icebo lokhuthi izikolo zivulwe asocebo alihle ngoba inani labantu abalomkhuhlane we covid 19 lokhe liqansa lisiyaphezulu. Nxa abantwana bengaya ezikolo kuyahlangana abantu abavela endaweni ezitsheyeneyo bengazivikeli.”

Kodwa isikhulumeli sohlangothi lukahulumende olubona ngemihloliso, olwe ZIMSEC, uNkosikazi Nichollete Dlamini uthe ngendlela abahlele ngayo izikolo ezinengi bezilungele ukuloba imihloliso.

"Abantwana abakade bebuye ukuzebhala isilungu babuyile bonke, abalutshwane yibo abangabuyanga. IMinistry inikile abantwana ama thermometer njalo abantwana bebelawo ama face masks. Kithi eZIMSEC sibona ukuba hayi imihloliso iqale kuhle."

IStudio 7 yethekelele izikolo zemizini embalwa yaseHarare ezigoqela i-Warren Park 1 High School, Mufakose High le Kambuzuma lapho abantwana abakade beloba imihloliso. E-Warren Park 1 High umphathi wesikolo walile ukukhuluma lentathelizindaba esithi kumele ziphiwe imvumo lugatsha lwezemfundo.

Inhlanganiso ezimela ababalisi elizweni zithi zilakho ukukhweza loludaba emthethwandaba nxa uhulumende engaqhubeka eqinise ikhanda efuna ukuvula izikolo, zona zingakalungeli ukuvikela izifundi kanye lababalisi emkhuhlaneni weCovid 19.
