Izakhamizi zeZansi yeMaNdebeleni zithi zibhekane lendlala embi njalo umumbu eseziwuthola ovela kuhulumende uphehliwe lezifuyo lazo ziqhubekela phambili zisifa ngenxa yendlala.
Izakhamizi esixoxe lazo zithi umangoye selala eziko emakhaya ngoba zingenelisi ukuthenga ukudla ezitolo ngenxa yentengo ephezulu kuthi umumbu eziwuthola phansi kohlelo lukahulumende uphehliwe.
UNkosazana Attalia Ndlovu, isakhamuzi seNtepe, uthe basala lomumbu omlutshwane ngemva kokulahla ophehliweyo ongeneliyo inyanga eyodwa.
“Indlala inkulu kakhulu lonyaka akulanto. Abantu konke lezifuyo kuyafanana kunzima sibili loba laye uhulumende ezama ukuletha okungamasaka lokhu komumbu kubuya kugcwele idoti okokuthi uyakhupha amagokoko amabili kuphela okunye kuyabe sekunuka manje hanti sizangenwa ngumkhuhlane kunzima sibili indlala yalonyaka hayi.”
Amazwi akhe agcizelelwe nguNkosikazi Maggi Moyo, isakhamuzi seMawane oleminyaka yokuzalwa engamatshumi ayisikhombisa lantathu, othe phezu kokuba umumbu uphehliwe bathwala nzima ukubhadala indleko zokuthwala lowomumbu.

UMaMoyo ugcizelele wathi ngaphandle kodubo lokudla babhekane njalo lodubo lokusilela kwamanzi esigabeni sabo.
“Lapha siphila nzima akulanto enhle. Ukuthi singathi siphila kuhle emaphandleni hayi ngoba ledamu amanzi esiwanathayo yilawana alerusi siwagebha phakathi edamu bayenza imithombo yokunathisa inkomo banathise lembuzi sibe lathi sesikhelela nxa sifika lapha ekhaya serusile vele akulabuhle lapha eMawane ngoba noma sikhangele uzezwa omunye kuthiwa ufile ngendlala.”
Izifuyo kanye lenyamazane zendle lazo zibhekane lendlala kulesisabelo ngenxa yokutshabalala kwamadlelo lokusilela kwamanzi njalo sezedlula inkulungwane ezilitshumi inkomo esezibulewe yindlala, eZansi yeMaNdebeleni.
