Kumaphrojekthi amaningi kahulumeni, kuhlanganisa nokulungiselela ukhetho, abakhubazekile nalabo abalele embhedeni bathola ukuphathwa okukhethekile, okubandakanya ukuvakashelwa emakhaya kanye namavoti akhethekile ngesikhathi sokhetho.
Kodwa akukho okunikezwayo okunjalo okwenziwe ngesikhathi sohlelo lokugomela i-Covid-19 lapho wonke umuntu – okhubazekile noma ongakhubazekile – kulindeleke ukuthi angene ezindaweni zokugoma ngaphandle kosizo oluvela kuhulumeni.
Izinhlangano ezinjenge-Gezephi Foundation, i-Tape Aids for the Blind, i-KZN Blind Society, i-Blind and Deaf, i-South African Blind Youth Organisation, kanye ne-South African National Council for the Blind zinethemba lokuqinisekisa uMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa ukuthi ezwe ukunxusa kwabo.
Esitatimendeni ngokuhlanganyela, leli qembu lithe: “Inqubomgomo kahulumeni ayicaci ukuthi abantu abakhubazekile bazobekwa nini eqhulwini njengoba kusukwa esigabeni sesibili, siya esigabeni sesithathu, esivuleleke kubo bonke abahlali ezweni.”
Ngenkathi isigaba sesibili sokugoma umphakathi sibeka phambili abantu abadala abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengama-60 njengoba besengozini enkulu.
Abangaboni emehlweni bebelwela ukwenza umqondo wemiyalezo kahulumeni empini eqhubekayo yokulwa nobhubhane lwe-coronavirus.
Okhulumela i-Gezephi Foundation, uYolanda Nxumalo uthe uhulumeni nezinqubo ze-Covid-19 banemigomo okumele bayilandele, njengokungaxhawulani, kanye nokungathinti abantu.
“Abantu abangaboni bathembele kakhulu ekuthinteni ukuze kuthi thina sithumele umyalezo ocacile wokuthi lona akuwona umqondo ocatshangwe kahle,” kusho uNxumalo.
