UMcIntosh Polela, okhulumela iRAF, usivikele lesi siphakamiso, wathi kumele kuhambisane nemikhuba eyenziwa kwamanye amazwe.
Ngokuka-Polela, ingqikithi yomthethosivivinywa omusha ukugcina umthetho olandelwayo ovame ukubonwa emhlabeni jikelele. Ugcizelele ukuthi kumanje lo mthethosivivinywa usacutshungulwa ephalamende, lapho kuzogcina kunqunywa ukuthi uzophelelaphi. UPolela ugcizelele ukubaluleka kokuthi abokufika kuleli bafune ezinye izindlela zokuqinisekisa ukuthi bayavikeleka uma kwenzeka kuba neshwa, wabanxusa ukuthi babheke eminye imishwalense abangayithola.
Uphinde wagcizelela umgomo wokulingana, egqamisa ukuthi uma isimo sishintshwa kuzomele afune usizo olufanele uma efudukela kwelinye izwe. “Uma ngingathuthela eMozambique ngenxa yengxabano, kuzofanele ngizivikele uma kwenzeka kuba nobungozi,” kusho uPolela.
“Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ngihamba isikhathi esifushane noma isikhathi eside, kufanele ngithole izindlela zokuzifihla esimweni esidinga ukuthi ngiye esibhedlela. Sicela ukulingana phakathi kwethu nabantu abasogwini lwethu abangabokufika,” engeza.
Lesi siphakamiso sisuse impikiswano enkulu, lapho abagxeki bezwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngemithelela engaba khona kubantu bangaphandle abahlala eNingizimu Afrika kanye nemithelela ebanzi yokuthola isinxephezelo esilinganayo nokusekelwa ezimeni zezingozi.

Ukugxeka kukaSibanda kulandela okwabameli, izinhlangano ezikhuthazayo kanye nama-medical aids. Uthi izizalwane zakwamanye amazwe akumelanga zivalelwe ngaphandle ngoba zifaka isandla kwi-fuel levy njalo zikhokhele intela.
Uthi uma uMthethosivivinywa usudlulile ePhalamende, ungase uphonselwe inselelo ngezizathu zokucwasa. “Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi ukusebenzisana okumele kwenzeke manje wukuxoxisana ngokuthi ngabe kulungile yini ukuvalela ngaphandle abantu bangaphandle ngenxa yemvelaphi yabo ekubeni ngakolunye uhlangothi kulindeleke ukuthi bafake isandla emalini kaphethiloli. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi yikho okuzocacisa impumelelo yalo mthethosivivinywa.”
