Izakhamizi zaseGauteng kungadingeka ukuthi zifune imali eningi yezinto eziyisisekelo zokudla njengenkukhu ngenxa yenkinga yamandla yamanje ehlangabezana nezwe lonke.
Imboni yezinkukhu eGauteng ibhekene nezinselelo ezinzima ngenxa yama-blackout aqhubekayo. Lokhu kwenziwe kubi kakhulu ngezindleko ezikhulayo zokuphila.
IDemocratic Alliance ( DA ) isanda kusebenzisana neSouth African Poultry Association ukuqonda kahle ukuthi yiziphi izinselelo izigaba eziphakeme zokulethwa kwemithwalo eziletha embonini yazo.
Ngesikhathi sengxoxo yethu, sathola ukuthi ngesikhathi sesigaba sokudilizwa kwemithwalo emihlanu, uhlelo lokuhlatshwa luyaphazamiseka. Izinkukhu zivame ukuhlatshwa emavikini ayisithupha njengoba zilingana nosayizi ofanele odingekayo ezindaweni zokudlela zokudla okusheshayo nabathengisi.
Ukuhlatshwa kwenzeka amahora angama-24 ngosuku, izinsuku ezinhlanu ngesonto. Kepha ngenxa yokugoqwa kwama-blackout ngezigaba ezinhlanu nesithupha, kukhona ukubuyela emuva kwinqubo yokuhlatshwa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi izinkukhu zindala, zikhulu futhi zidla ukudla okwengeziwe.
Intengo yenkukhu ikhuphukile, okuholela kubathengi abambalwa abathenga umkhiqizo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imakethe yezinkukhu ezinkulu ilinganiselwe.
Lokhu kuholela kubalimi abanezinkukhu ezinkulu ezizulazulayo, okuholela ekwandeni kwezidingo zokuphakelwa.
Ukwenza izinto zibe zimbi kakhulu, uhulumeni wesifundazwe ubonakala engathandeki ngomphumela omubi owenziwe ngabamnyama phakathi kwalabo ababhekele ukuphepha kokudla esifundazweni.
I-DA isivele yethule imibuzo eSishayamthetho SaseGauteng Provincial ( GPL ) ukuthola ukuthi yiluphi usizo olunikezwe abalimi bezinkukhu esifundazweni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sicela ukuthi uhulumeni asuse Intela Engeziwe Yentela ( VAT ) kuyo yonke imikhiqizo yenkukhu. Sizoqhubeka nokuphoqelela ukuthi kusungulwe ithimba elizosebenza ngokubambisana nohulumeni ukuze libeke izinyathelo zokunciphisa imiphumela yokuqothuka kwabantu abamnyama esifundazweni.
Uhulumeni kazwelonke kufanele acabangele ngokuphuthumayo ukwenza i-Eskom ibe ngases
