Ukuncipha komthwalo okuqhubekayo eNingizimu Afrika kusongela ukuphepha kwezakhamuzi ezithembele ku-oxygen futhi kuphazamisa ukulethwa kwezempilo zomphakathi, kanye nokuncipha kukagesi okuvamile okuphazamisa imishini ebalulekile, kwandise izindleko zokusebenza, futhi kubangele izinkinga zokugcina imithi ezweni lonke. Ngokusho kombiko ka-2023 kaJack Bloom, ukucima kukagesi okuvamile kuye kwaphoqa abasebenzi bemitholampilo yomphakathi ukuthi bathuthele imithi esindisa impilo eziqandisini ezisebenzayo ukuze kuvinjelwe ukonakala, kuyilapho izibhedlela eNtshonalanga Kapa zichithe izigidi ngezigidi kudizili ukuze kugcinwe izinsizakalo ezibalulekile.

Ukunakekelwa Kwezempilo Kuphazanyiswe Ukuphela Kukagesi

Ukulahlekelwa ugesi okuphindaphindiwe kubeke ingcindezi enkulu kubahlinzeki bezempilo abathembele kumandla angaphazanyiswa ekunakekelweni okuphuthumayo nokwesikhathi eside, okuhlanganisa nokwelashwa nge-oxygen. UMulalo Mukundeli Palesa Demana waphawula ocwaningweni lwe-University of Venda ukuthi ukucinywa komthwalo kuphazamisa imishini ebalulekile futhi kwelula izinsiza zesikhungo, okubeka engcupheni ukunakekelwa kweziguli kuzo zonke izigaba.

Izibhedlela zibhekene nobunzima obengeziwe bezezimali, kanti okhulumela uMaret Lesch uqinisekisa ukuthi izikhungo eNtshonalanga Kapa zibize izigidi zamaRandi ngezindleko zikadizili ukuze zisebenzise amajeneretha ngesikhathi sokucinywa kogesi okuqhubekayo. Lokhu kuphazamiseka kubeka engcupheni ukuwohloka kwemishini ebalulekile futhi kudala izingozi ezengeziwe ngenxa yokwanda kwamandla kagesi lapho ugesi ubuya, njengoba kuboniswe embhalweni we-NCOP kaFebhuwari 2023.

Izingozi Zomphakathi Nemiphumela Ebanzi

Iziguli ezidinga umoya-mpilo oqhubekayo noma ezinye izinto zokwelapha ezisebenzisa ugesi zisengozini enkulu ngesikhathi sokungasebenzi. Ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa ngo-2018 luxhumanise ukwehla komthwalo nokwanda kokungeniswa esibhedlela kwezingane, okugqamisa ingozi eyengeziwe ezinganeni nakwamanye amaqembu asengozini. Isifunda saseVhembe eLimpopo, phakathi kwezinye izindawo ezithintekile, siyaqhubeka nokubhekana nemiphumela emibi kakhulu ngenxa yokungazinzi kukagesi, ngokusho kwezifundo zakamuva.

Imitholampilo yomphakathi ibika izinselele zezokuthutha, njengoba abasebenzi bevame ukuhambisa imithi ezwela ukushisa phakathi kweziqandisi ngesikhathi sokungasebenzi, okubeka engcupheni ubuqotho kanye nokuhlinzekwa kwemithi ebalulekile. Imiphumela eqongelelekayo yalezi zinhlekelele ikhulisa amathuba okuba nemiphumela emibi yezempilo, ikakhulukazi kubahlali abathembele ekunakekelweni okungaphazamiseki ekhaya noma ezikhungweni zomphakathi ezingenazo izinsiza ezanele.

UMnyango Wezempilo kanye nezikhungo zasendaweni zingaphansi kwengcindezi yokuthola ezinye izindlela zamandla ezizinzile njengoba ukuncishiswa komthwalo kulindeleke ukuthi kuqhubeke. Izinyathelo ezilandelayo zifaka phakathi ukuhlola uxhaso olwengeziwe kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali kwingqalasizinda ukuvikela imiphakathi esengozini nokuqinisekisa ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha okungaphazamiseki.
