Abakhenkethi bayabaleka Umlilo wasebukhwenieOstreliya. Iikhilomitha ezingama-420 ukusuka eSydney, umcebisi kwezokhenketho, kunye nomxhasi we-eTN uDavid Beirman unamava ahluke kakhulu kunye nengxelo yokwabelana ngeHolide yakhe yoNyaka oMtsha eMntla. ENew South Wales.
INew South Wales lilizwe elikumazantsi mpuma eOstreliya, elahlulwa zizixeko zalo eziselunxwemeni kunye neepaki zelizwe. ISydney, ikomkhulu layo, likhaya lezakhiwo ezibonisa imifanekiso efana neSydney Opera House kunye neHarbour Bridge. Embindini welizwe ziiNtaba eziBlue, amahlathi ashinyeneyo kunye needolophu ezisemaphandleni apho kusembiwa khona ii-opal. Ngaselunxwemeni kukho iilwandle zokusefa ezinde. Ummandla weHunter Valley, emantla, unentaphane yeendawo zewayini.
Ukusukela ngoSeptemba ka-2019 imililo yamatyholo itshabalalise amahlathi kuwo onke amazwe nakwimimandla yaseOstreliya. Imililo yamatyholo ka-2019-20 sele ibe lolona luhlu lubanzi lwemililo yamatyholo ukususela ekuqaleni kokuhlaliswa kwabantu baseYurophu ngo-1788. Isikhokelo esihle kakhulu seBBC ibonisa ubungakanani obukhulu bemililo yase-Australia kwiindawo ezimbini zaseOstreliya ezinabantu abaninzi eNew South Wales naseVictoria.
Okwangoku ndikwi "iholide" kwingingqi yaseNew England kuMntla weNew South Wales malunga ne-420 Kms kuMntla Ntshona weSydney. Ilali endizinze kuyo inomlilo omkhulu wamahlathi kuMntla wethu, eMzantsi naseMpuma. Abahlali belali ekufutshane bacetyiswe ukuba bakulungele ukuphuma kwaye abakhenkethi bacelwe ukuba baphume kwindawo edumileyo kule ndawo. Ngobusuku bangaphambi koNyaka oMtsha, abatyeleli kunye nabahlali baye banikwa amagqabantshintshi ngenkonzo yasemaphandleni yeBushfire, iiPaki zeSizwe, iiNkonzo eziNgxamisekileyo zoMbuso kunye namagosa ajongene namaHlathi malunga nemeko yemililo kwindawo yethu. Ngelixa imililo emininzi iqukunjelwa, indibaniselwano yamaqondo obushushu aphezulu kwi-'40s (105 F), ukutshintsha kwemimoya kunye nembalela yeminyaka emibini iye yaphemba amadangatye kulo lonke elaseNew South Wales. Abona balweli bomlilo basemaphandleni bakhulu eOstreliya benze umsebenzi oncomekayo ekunciphiseni umonakalo ebantwini nakwimpahla kodwa umonakalo wemekobume uye woyikekayo.
Ngaphandle koku, amakhaya angaphezu kwe-1,000 atshatyalalisiwe kwaye abantu abali-12 kuquka abacimi-mlilo aba-5 baphulukene nobomi babo. Kwilizwe lam laseNew South Wales, ikota enye yamahlathi alo rhulumente itshisiwe. Kwi-NSW iyodwa, indawo ekutshiswe kuyo amahlathi ilingana nezihlandlo ezithathu zemililo yaseCalifornia yakutshanje.
Ihlobo lase-Australia ngoDisemba-Januwari sisikolo semveli kunye nexesha leholide yomsebenzi. Uninzi oludumileyo lwaselunxwemeni, iindawo zeeholide emantla nakumazantsi eSydney zicinywe ngumlilo wamatyholo kwaye ukufikelela nokusuka kuzo kuthintelwe. Kwingingqi yeVictorian yaseGippsland 100-150kms kwimpuma yeMelbourne, iindawo ezininzi eziselunxwemeni zirhangqwe yimililo. Kwiindawo ezininzi ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide kunxweme olusemazantsi e-NSW, abakhenkethi basezidolophini baye bavalelwa ngokoqobo elunxwemeni njengoko imililo kwimimandla enamahlathi ithintela ukubaleka kwabo kwiindlela zokuphuma. I-Blue Mountains, indawo ethandwayo yabahambi ngemini eyi-100 km kwintshona ye-Sydney, ebonelela ngokubanzi ngemibono emihle ye-canyon iye yagutyungelwa ngumsi ovela kwimililo yamatyholo kwiiNtaba zeBlue.
Kubusuku obudlulileyo, uSydney ungenise uNyaka oMtsha kunye nomboniso womlilo wemveli omangalisayo phezu kweZibuko laseSydney. Ngokubanzi, esi siboniso siyabavuyisa abantu balapha kwaye sitsala amawaka abakhenkethi abavela kulo lonke elaseOstreliya nehlabathi. Umboniso ubumhle njengakuqala kwaye ngaphezulu kwesigidi abantu kubandakanywa amawaka abakhenkethi abafolele kwiindawo zokubukela ukuze bawubone. Nangona kunjalo, kulo nyaka umboniso weziqhushumbisi zange wamkelwe jikelele. Bangaphezu kwama-275,000 abantu baseSydneysider batyikitye uxwebhu lwezikhalazo bechaza inkcaso yabo kwiziqhushumbisi phakathi kweyona ngxaki imbi yelizwe yomlilo wamatyholo. Abaceli bathi imali echithwe kwiziqhumane yayinokusetyenziswa ngcono ekuncedeni abacimi bomlilo kunye namaxhoba omlilo kunokongeza ungcoliseko lomsi osele lubalulekile eSydney.
Ngokwenyani, ubukhulu bemali kunye nokhenketho buyakhuthaza ukuba iziqhushumbisi zomlilo zaseSydney ngoNyaka oMtsha zizise eSydney (i-AUD yezigidi ezili-130 zeedola) yongamile ngaphezu kweenkxalabo zokuziphatha. Njengoko iziqhushumbisi zivutha phezu kwamanzi kwathathwa ngokuba kukhuselekile kwaye kukhululwe kwisithintelo somlilo esipheleleyo yiNkonzo yoMlilo waseMaphandleni. Kwiidolophu ezininzi zaseSydney nakwiindawo ezisemaphandleni nakwingingqi ye-NSW amabhunga amaninzi asekuhlaleni aye arhoxisa iziqhumane zangaphambi koNyaka oMtsha (ngokuqhelekileyo ngenxa yezizathu zokhuseleko). Kwindawo yeholide yelizwe lam, senza umdaniso we-rolling pub ukuya kwiingoma zika-1980 kunye nomboniso olula.
Akukho mathandabuzo okuba ubude kunye nobunzulu bemililo yamatyholo bunempembelelo kutyelelo lwamazwe ngamazwe e-Australia kunye nokhenketho lwangaphakathi. Kuye kwarhoxiswa kwaye ezinye iziganeko kwiindawo ezichatshazelwe ngumlilo ziye zarhoxiswa. Nangona kunjalo, abantu baseOstreliya banamandla. Ubomi kunye nokhenketho luqhubeleka. Nditsho nemililo ekufutshane.
Mna, kunye nabanye abaninzi baseOstreliya siqhubeka sinandipha iholide yethu yasehlathini kwihlathi eliseleyo. Ngokwemvelo, sinikela ingqalelo kakhulu kwizilumkiso zomlilo kunye neebarbeques ezenziwe ngamaplanga azivumelekanga. Imililo ikhokelele kwezinye iintsuku zesibhakabhaka esinomsi eSydney, eMelbourne, eAdelaide nasePerth nakwidolophu enkulu iCanberra. Ngaphandle kokusasazwa kweendaba okuchukumisayo, iOstreliya ayizange itshiswe ibe luthuthu kwaye isiganeko esibalulekileyo sokuna kwemvula sinokuwuphelisa amadangatye.
Abakhenkethi bamkelekile eOstreliya ngakumbi emaphandleni nakwingingqi yaseOstreliya. Ukuba uye waya emaphandleni nakwingingqi yaseOstreliya ungaqinisekiswa ngokwamkelwa ngokufudumeleyo, abakhenkethi abayenzayo bayayithanda. Kuyinyani ukuba isibhakabhaka kwizixeko ezikhulu zaseOstreliya azikhange zibe nencwadana enemifanekiso egqibeleleyo kwiiveki zamva nje kodwa iOstreliya iyaqhubeka. Inkcazelo yeBushfire nohlaziyo lufumaneka ngeelwimi ezingama-35 eVictoria neelwimi ezingama-20 eNew South Wales. Umsasazi welizwe lase-Australia i-ABC ibonelela ngomthombo obalaseleyo nochanekileyo wolwazi malunga nemeko yomlilo wamatyholo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Residents in a nearby village have been advised to be ready to evacuate and tourists have been asked to evacuate a popular campsite in the area.
- The petitioners claimed the money spent on the fireworks could have been better used helping support firefighters and fire victims rather than add the already significant smoke pollution in Sydney.
- While most fires are being contained, the combination of high temperatures in the '40s (105 F), changing winds and a two-year drought has fanned the flames all over New South Wales.
