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.
Ugcizelele esithi lezinhlelo bezibapha imali yokuthi baziphilise lezimuli zabo kodwa okwamanje baphakathi kwendlala enkulu.

“Edamu leHulube kulobunzima, akusela manzi,izifuyo seziswele ukuthi zenzenjani labantu abakade bephila ngalo lelidamu sokulobunzima lapha, sesitshona silindile ukuthi inkomo singasanathi ngoba amanzi segonjolozelwe ludaka ,besicela uncedo.”
Lokhu kusekelwa ngukhansila kaWard 2 esigabeni lesi, uNkosikazi Zwelibanzi Mpofu, othi ukumisa ukulima ezivandeni sekulethe ubunzima kumuli ezinegi ngoba inengi labazali lingesenelisi ukubhadalela abantwana indleko zesikolo.

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

Inengi lezakhamizi selitshona lilinde emadamu ukuze lix1otshe inkomo lapho sizonatha ngoba zilakho ukubanjelwa edakeni.
