Njengoba izinga lokungasebenzi liphezulu, abesilisa abaningi bathi ukugembula ukuphela kwendlela yokuthola imali esheshayo yokudla, yokugibela noma yezidingo zansuku zonke.
Imihlangano yokucobelelana ngolwazi yokugembula yathola ukuthi abagembuli abaningi baselokishini abasebenzi futhi bavame ukugembula ukuze baphile, naphezu kwengozi yezikweletu nobudlova.
Emalokishini ezweni lonke, amaqoqo abesilisa abonakala emakhoneni emigwaqo kusukela ekuseni ephonsa amadayisi.
Lo mdlalo waziwa kakhulu, entsheni eningi engasebenzi usuphenduke indlela yokuzama ukwenza imali uma umsebenzi ungekho.
E-Alexandra, elinye lamalokishi amadala kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika, imidlalo yamadayisi iqala kusenesikhathi futhi iqhutshwa usuku lonke. Imali ishintsha izandla, kuqubuka izingxabano, futhi ngezinye izikhathi kulandela udlame.
U-Anthony Vilakazi uneminyaka engu-23. Uphase umatikuletsheni, waphothula izifundo zesikhathi esincabw futhi useneminyaka efuna umsebenzi.
“Akukho ongakwenza,” esho. “Uvuka nsuku zonke ubhekane nomzabalazo ofanayo. Yingakho ubona intsha igembula, iphuza futhi iphendukela ebugebengwini.”
I-Gauteng Gambling Board isanda kuqhuba izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi emalokishini ukuze iqonde ukuthi kungani abantu begembula. Abangaphezu kwengxenye yababekhona bebengasebenzi.
Abaningi bathi bayagembula uma bedinga imali esheshayo noma imali yasendlini isiphelile. Abanye bathi ukugembula kubenza bazizwe bephila noma kubasiza bakhohlwe ukucindezeleka kwansuku zonke.
Kodwa izingozi ziphezulu.
Abahlanganyeli bathi bavame ukulahlekelwa yiyo yonke imali yabo, bangene ezikweletini, noma balwe ngemva kokuwina noma ukuhlulwa. Abanye bathi abantu babanjwe inkunzi ngemuva kokuwina okukhulu.
Ukugembula amadayisi kuyingozi kakhulu. Imidlalo ivamise ukuqhutshwa ngabantu abaziwa ngokuthi ama-knocksmen, abathatha imali encane kwabawinile. Abadlali bathi kumele wazi ukuthi ugembula nobani noma ungaqhathwa noma uhlaselwe.
Omunye umdlalo ojwayelekile u-Fafi, owaziwa nangokuthi i-maChina, ilotho yaselokishini engekho emthethweni evame ukuqhutshwa ezimotweni zikanokusho. Yize kungekho emthethweni, abanye abadlali bakubona kuyindlela yokusinda futhi bathi ukuwina kwesinye isikhathi kwabelwa labo abahluliwe.
Abantu abaningi baselokishini bathi baqala ukugembula besafunda futhi abakaze bayeke.
Kuyingozi, kuyalutha futhi kuvame ukuba nodlame.
Kodwa ngentsha enjengo-Anthony, engenamsebenzi futhi engenayo imali, ukugembula kuwukuphela kwendlela yokubhekana nolunye usuku.
