"Into endiyibonileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku wonke umntu ubandakanyeka kuncedo olungxamisekileyo kunye nemisebenzi yokunceda kwiintlekele," utshilo uYu. “Phantse wonke umntu unxibe imaski. Uthuthu lwentaba-mlilo lusezitratweni kuba uthuthu lwathabatha iiyure ezininzi. Umhlaba ugqunywe luthuthu kuquka uhlaza nezindlu zabantu.”
“Amanye amavolontiya ebecoca iindlela, kodwa engekafiki ehlathini. Abantu bebegqiba kucoca iindlela,” utshilo.
Ngokumalunga neemeko zokuphila eziquka amanzi, umbane kunye nokutya eTonga, iYu izinto azikabuyeli esiqhelweni, kodwa kukho ukuphucuka kwezinye iindawo.
Uthe umbane ubuyile kwindawo ezininzi kwisithuba nje sosuku emva kogqabhuko-dubulo lwaye lwacima umbane. Kwakhona, emva kokusa, ngomhla wogqabhuko-dubulo, wonke umntu waphinda wathenga izinto eziyimfuneko.
Wathi: “Mna ngokwam ndaqokelela amanzi, ukutya namanzi amaninzi.
“Sinezixhobo ezaneleyo apha. Akukho manzi asebhotileni ngoku kwiivenkile ezinkulu, kodwa ezinye izinto zisafumaneka.”
Imifuno ayifumaneki okwangoku. UYu uthe umhlobo wakhe osebenza kwezolimo wamxelela ukuba abantu kwesi siqithi abayi kuba nemifuno emitsha isithuba esingaphezulu kwenyanga. Ngokuphathelele iziqhamo, wathi, “Akukho nto ingako esiqithini, ukuqala nje, ziivatala zodwa. Kodwa nayo le inqabile ngoku.”
“Andiqondi ukuba ubomi bubuyele esiqhelweni,” uYu uxelele iCGTN.
Uthe usekela-nkulumbuso ubhengeze imeko yonxunguphalo, kwaye abantu baseTonga bajoyina imizamo yokunceda kwintlekele kwaye bacoca uthuthu lwentaba-mlilo ezindleleni.
“Ukuba azicocwanga, ziya kubhabhela emoyeni xa iimoto zidlula, kwaye ziya kumisa phezu kophahla,” utshilo.
“Amanzi okusela eTonga aphuma ngqo emvuleni. Mzi ngamnye unesixhobo sokuvuna amanzi emvula eluphahleni lwawo, ngoko ke kufuneka siqinisekise ukuba lonke uthuthu luyacocwa.”
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Uthe usekela-nkulumbuso ubhengeze imeko yonxunguphalo, kwaye abantu baseTonga bajoyina imizamo yokunceda kwintlekele kwaye bacoca uthuthu lwentaba-mlilo ezindleleni.
- Every household has a rainwater harvester installed on their roofs, so we have to make sure that all the ash is cleaned up.
- Ngokumalunga neemeko zokuphila eziquka amanzi, umbane kunye nokutya eTonga, iYu izinto azikabuyeli esiqhelweni, kodwa kukho ukuphucuka kwezinye iindawo.
