Ngithanda ukwamukela wonke umphakathi

waseNgweni nabobonke abantu abasebenzisa

isibhedlela namakilinikhi ethu kulonyaka omusha u

2012. Siyambonga ujehova obe nathi kwaze kwa-

ba lapha sithi “Ebeneza”.

Ngithanda ukuthinta izihloko ezimbalwa

ezisihluphayo njengomnyango wezempilo. Siyacela

umphakathi wakithi ukhuthalele ukuya ekilinikhi

ikakhulukazi omama abazithwele kusukela ema-

vikini ayishumi nane. Lokhu kunciphisa amathuba

okusuleleka komntwana ngegciwane lesandulela

ngculazi futhi uma enalo igciwane afundiswe

ukuthi kufanela aphile kanjani ngesikhathi

ezithwele. Sesizame isikhathi eside njengomnyan-

go wezempilo ukugqugquzela ukuthi omama beze

emtholampilo ukuze kuphephe abantwana. Uma

sifuna ukuthi ngelinye ilanga sibe nesizukulwane

esingenalo igciwane lesandulela gcula-

zi.Sikhuthaza futhi ukusebenzisana phakathi kwa-

balaphi basentshonalanga nabalaphi bendabuko.

Sekwabonakala ukuthi iningi labantu ngaphambi

kokuba beze esibhedlela baqala kubalaphi benda-

buko bese beza esibhedlela noma emtholampilo.

Kunezinto njengomnyango esifisa sisebenzisane

nabo kuzo lapho sifaka ngisho ababelethisi

nonomehlo ukuvikela ukuthathelana kwanagci-

wane (infection control) kanye nokunye . Sinensele-

lo enkulu ikakhulukazi kwimtholampilo yethu yoku-

lethwa kwezingane ezinesifo sokungondleki

(kwashiorkor). Siyacela kubazali baphe izingane

ukudla okunezakhamzimba (protein). Lokhu kusiza

ukuvikela izingane ukuthi zingabi nesifo sendlala

noma sokungondleki. Ziningi izingane ezilaliswa

egumbini labagulayo ngenxa yalenkinga. Siyacela

ukuthi uma kukhona ongazi ukuthi kufanele ayini-

ke kudla kuni ingane yakhe akaye emtholampilo

ayocela isaluleko ngoba kukhona abantu abaqashi-

we okuthiwa abeluleki ngokwezokundla (Nutritional

Advisor).Sisaqhubeka nohlelo lokufundisa omama

mayelana nokuhlola izinhlobo ngezinhlobo

zomdlavuzo (Phila Ma campaign). Kuhlolwa

umdlavuzo womlomo wesibeletho nowebele. Futhi

omama bayafundiswa ukuzihlola bona umdlavuzo

webele.Kuyiyifiso sami ukuthi kungabi bikho

umuntu wesifazane ongakwazi ukuzihlolela yena

umdlavuzo webele. Ngibala njena okusihluphayo

njengomnyango kodwa kuningi okwenziwa kulom-

khankaso.Siyacela futhi ukuthi abazali babantwana

balethe izingane zizogoma emtholampilo.

Ngokwezinamba zethu zincane kakhulu izingane

lapha eNgweni ezingomile uma siqhathanisa nezin-

gane ezikhona. Ukugoma abantwana kusiza

ukuvikela abantwana ezifeni. Ngiyathanda ukusho

futhi ukusho ukuthi lusaqhubeka uhlelo lokusoka

abafana. Sithanda ukubonga bonke abeze

ngaphambili bezosoka futhi sikhuthaza nalabo

abangakasiboni isidingo ukuba beze, sikhuthaza

ukuthi kungabi bikho umfana noma owesilisa on-

gasokile eNgweni.

Ngithanda ukubonga amalunga ebhodi le-

sibhedlela esisebenze nawo isikhathi eside, ngithi

iqhaza abalibambile liyabonakala.

thulele uMphathi wegumbi la-

bantwana ( Paeds ward) kulengosi yethu.

ekusebenziseni amakhambi esintu uku-

zelapha. Kodwa manje kuvela izinkanga

eziningi ezidalwa amakhambi esintu

( Herbal intoxication).

Sifisa ukwazisa umphakathi esiwuseben-

zelayo ukuthi kunenkinga enkulu yokugula

okuholela ekushoneni kwezingane ezin-

cane, ezingaphansi konyaka ngenxa

yamakhambi eziwaphuziswayo no-

ma ezichathwa ngawo emakhaya.

Ezinganeni

eziyisikhombisa (7) ezilaliswayo

esibhedlela ezishonayo zibantathu

(3) kulezo ezisuke zigula ngenxa

yalenkinga yemithi yesintu.

Imiphumela esingayibalula yilena

elandelayo :Ukukhukhumala

kwesisu.

ukuphalaza umphalazo omnyama,

Inyumoniya ( Pneumonia)

Ukulimala kwesibindi (hepatitis)

Ukulimala kwezinso ( Renal failure)

Usister Mei ubeke kanjena “Siyazi ukuthi

nathi sakhula ngawo amakhambi esintu

ngokusho kogogo bethu, kepha isikhathi

samanje asisafani nesasendulo sokukhula

kwethu. Izingane zamanje zidinga

ukuqashelwa okukhulu. Besingathanda

ukuthi sibambisane noMphakathi ngoku-

nakekela izingane ngendlela ezozenza

ziphile kahle”

Siyawuqguqguzela umphakathi ukuthi uva-

kashele esiBhedlela naseMitholampilo

kuqala uma kunezinsolo zokugula abazi-

bonayo ebaNtwaneni babo. Lokhu kuzosi-

za ekunqandeni kokuswelakala kwemi-

phefumulo ngendlela enganasidingo.

Thina njeMnyango Wezempilo sinomgomo

wokulwa neZifo, Ukulwa noBubha

nokunikeza iThemba.

U Sister MEI UMPHATHI WEWODI LABANTWANA

EZITHINTA ABANTU ABASHA

N genyanga ka Nhlolanja (February )kusukela kum-

hlaka 01 kuya kumhlaka 29, 2012 umnyango

wezempilo ubunomkhankaso wokufundisa imiphakathi

ngokubaluleka kokuhlelwa kwemindeni .

Kulesikhathi ithimba lasezikoleni (school health team) lase

St Apollinaris Hospital libe selivakashela izikole zamabanga

aphezulu (High Schools) lapho belinika khona ulwazi olun-

zulu kubafundi ngalezizihloko ezilandelayo: Ukuzithiba ocan-

sini kubafundi, Ukubaluleka kokuhlela umndeni uma

umuntu esezimbandakanya nezindaba zocansi, Izindlela

ezehlukene ezisetshenziswayo ukuhlela umndeni kanye

nokubaluleka kokusoka ekwehliseni ukubhebhetheka

kwegciwane lengculazi

Isizathu esinqala esenze lelithimba lakhetha ukuvakashela

ama High Schools yingenxa yezinga eliphezulu loku-

khulelwa kwabafundi ezikoleni. Leli zinga lokukhukhulelwa

kwabafundi liyasikhathaza nathi basebenzi bomnyango

wezempilo. Ngoba akugcini nje ngokukhulelwa kodwa kwan-

da nezifo ezithathelana ngokocansi, lokhu kubeka

engcupheni impilo yomfundi. Futhi ukukhulelwa kwabafundi

kubenza bangakwazi ukuqhubekela phambili nezifundo

zabo.

Abafundi bawuthakasele kakhulu lomkhankaso wethu ngo-

ba bathola ithuba lokuxoxa nathi basebenzi bonmyango

wezempilo. Ezindaweni zasemakhaya kuyazwakala ukuthi

kusekhona umkhuba wokuthwala kwezintombi kwezinye

izinxenye zezigodi. Futhi uthola ukuthi umntwana ugana

esemncane agane umuntu omdala, omunye uthole ukuthi

usesulelekile ngaleligciwane lesandulela ngculazi (HIV)

noma ngengculazi uqobo lwayo.

Kodwa lomkhankaso ube yimpumelelo kakhulu ngoba nathi

njengomnyango wezempilo sithole ithuba lokuqwashisa

abafundi ngezinto eziningi abakade benganalwazi ngazo.

Sithanda ukudlulisela abazwi okubonga kulezikole ezilande-

layo esithole ithuba lokuzivakashela :Centocow High, Lesh-

man High, Ngwaqa High, Dumakude High, Ralph Har-

dingham High, Skofil High, Qulashe Combined School kanye

bokuzihlanganisa nezindaba zocansi kubantwana.

Abafundi babelalelisise kahle yonke inkulumo neziyalo.

Umkhankaso wokusokwa kwabesilisa

U mkhankaso wokusokwa kwaBantu besilisa

usalokhu uqhubeka njalo, futhi kubonaka-

la likhula nesasasa lawo kubantu besilisa. Kuya-

sijabulisa lokho njengoMyango weZempilo. Sizo-

khumbula phela ukuthi lokhu kwenzeka ku-

landela ikhwelo elashaywa Isilo saMazulu uN-

gangezwe lakhe Goodwill Zwelithini ngokubambi-

sana noMphathiswa kazwelonke womnyango

kholweni , lapho futhi abantu besilisa

bethu labo abajutshelwe ukwenza lomsebenzi .

besivakashelwe ithimba eliqhamuka eMgungund-

lovu kanye noDokotela oqhamuka eGoli. Ngoba kuhle

ukuthi umuntu uma enza umsebenzi othile kube nama-

phepha amgunyazayo ukwenza lowo msebenzi. Kanjalo

nalapha, kuthe uma kubonabakala ukuthi bonke abah-

lengikazi abajutshelwe kulomsebenzi bawenza ngezinga

eligculisayo kwacaca ukuthi kufanela bazithole izitifiketi

ezibagunyaza ukukwenza lomsebenzi ngokusemthethweni.

Njengenjwayelo lapho sihamba khona siba no Mnz.

Nhlanhla Mtolo ongumxhumanisi waloluhlelo lokusokwa

kwabantu besilisa ngaphansi koMkhandlu waseNgweni.

Wadlulisela amazwi okuziphatha ngendlela eyemukelekile

kubantu besilisa. Washo lamazwi “kuyinjababulo ukuni-

bona niphume ngobuningi benu namhlanje nizosokwa ma-

doda. Ngithi anginitshele ukuthi ukusokwa akusho ukuthi

sekufanele nihambe nilala ,kufanele niziqhelelanise nezin-

daba zoncansi noma nisebenzise ijazi lomkhwenyana.

Nginifisela ukuthi niqhubekele phambili nezifundo zenu

ukuze nibe ngamadoda aqotho kusasa. Ziqhelelaniseni

futhi nezidakamizwa ngeke ziniyisenadwo”
