Amadoda amathathu ase-Limpopo ahambe ibanga elingu-1,700km elibangise eKapa ukugqugquzela intsha nokuyiqwashisa ngokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa.
Naphezu kokulimala nokukhathala, badlulela phambili futhi bamukelwa njengamaqhawe nguhulumeni waseKapa.
Izinsizwa ezintathu zase-Limpopo ziqede ibanga elingu-1 700km ngamabhayisikili zilibangise eKapa ukuzogqugquzela intsha nokusabalalisa umyalezo omelene nokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa.
UMaxwell Ndou (24), uGauta Mahlakoane noKarabo Mokoo bafike eKapa ngoMsombuluko ekuseni ngemuva kokuhamba i-Huguenot Tunnel.
Lolu hambo baluqale emasontweni amabili edlule benomgomo owodwa ukukhombisa intsha ukuthi konke kuyenzeka ngokuzimisela.
Endleleni, babhekana nokulimala nokukhathala. Ngesonto eledlule, uMaxwell wawa walimala edolweni. Kwadingeka abonane nodokotela futhi asebenzise i-ice pack ukuze adambise izinhlungu. Kodwa ngaphezu kobuhlungu, wanquma ukuqhubeka.
“Sidlule ezinhlungwini,” kusho uMaxwell, kubika i-TimesLive. “Besazi ukuthi kufanele siqedele.”
Leli qembu lithathe ikhefu elincane ngempelasonto e-Laingsburg nase-Worcester ukuze liphumile futhi lithole usizo lwezempilo. Ngenkathi uMaxwell ebhekene nokulimala edolweni, ozakwabo nabo babedinga i-physiotherapy ukuze balulame.
Uhulumeni wase-Limpopo wamukele laba abathathu ehhotela eKapa futhi wabanikeza ithuba lokuvakashela ezinye zezindawo ezidumile zedolobha, okuhlanganisa i-Robben Island, i-Table Mountain kanye ne-V&A Waterfront.
UNdunankulu wase-Limpopo, uPhophi Ramathuba, uncome abagibeli bamabhayisikili, wababiza ngesibonelo samandla nesibindi sentsha.
“Lokhu okwenziwe yilezi zinsizwa akujwayelekile. Bakhombise isibindi esikhulu bakhombisa ukuthi intsha yethu ingaba namandla futhi inekhono kangakanani,” kusho yena.
Uhulumeni uthe ufuna ukusiza laba bobathathu baqale ikilabhu yamabhayisikili ukuze kugqugquzele intsha eningi ukuthi ihlale imatasa futhi igweme izidakamizwa.
