Othandekayo ngenxa yezwe elimangalisayo, umlando walo ocebile kanye nesimo sendawo yokudlela enomusa, eKapa ungenye yezindawo ezivakashelwa kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika. Kodwa-ke, uMama waseMexico usenkingeni yamanzi okulimaza. Ngokomlando, idolobha liye labhekana nezikhathi zesomiso ngokusebenzisa ukuphathwa kwamanzi okucophelela, okusiza ukuba kuphile kuze kube yilapho amadamu ayo egcwaliswa yimvula engcono ngonyaka olandelayo.
Kodwa-ke, iKapa idlala ngonyaka wayo wesithathu olandelanayo wesomiso, okuholela ekuntulekeni kwamanzi okungaphezu kweminyaka eyikhulu. Nakhu ukubuka ukuthi isomiso sifikile kanjani, nokuthi kusho ukuthini izakhamuzi nezivakashi ngokufanayo.
Isikhathi somkhawulo
Inkinga yamanje yamanzi yaqala ngo-2015, lapho amazinga aseMadolobheni amakhulu ayisithupha eKapa awela kusuka ku-71.9% aphelele afika ku-50.1% egcwele ngenxa yemvula ehlulekile. Ngonyaka we-2016 kwakukhona unyaka owomile ikakhulukazi, ngezimo zesomiso ezitholakala ezifundazweni kulo lonke elaseNingizimu Afrika. Ngenkathi ezinye izindawo zezwe zanikezwa usizo ngemvula enkulu ebusika ka-2016, noma kunjalo, amazinga amanzi aseKapa aqhubeka awela ku-31.2% kuphela. Ngo-May 2017, leso sibalo sasifinyelele ku-21.2%.
Ngo-June 2017, izakhamizi zathemba ukuthi isomiso singase siphulwe yiCape Storm, esaba nemvula engama-50mm kanye nezikhukhula ezidlulele ezindaweni ezithile zedolobha. Naphezu kwesimo sezulu esinzima, isomiso saqhubeka futhi ngoSeptemba, imingcele yamanzi eNqanaba 5 yasungulwa kumasipala-ukunciphisa amanzi okusetshenziswa kwamanzi angu-87 amalitha ngosuku.
Ngemva kwenyanga, ochwepheshe balinganisela ukuthi umuzi wawunezinyanga ezinhlanu kuphela ngaphambi kokuba amazinga amanzi aphelile. Lesi sigameko esiyingozi manje sabizwa ngokuthi "Usuku lweZero".
Iqiniso leZero Zosuku
Usuku lweSuku luye lwahlukaniswa uMeya waseKapa uPatricia de Lille njengosuku olulondolozwa ngalo amanzi okufinyelela ku-13.5%.
Uma lokhu kwenzeka, iningi lamathinta kulo lonke idolobha lizovalwa, futhi izakhamuzi ziyophoqelelwa emgqeni ezindaweni zokuqoqa amanzi eNingizimu Kapa ukuqoqa ukwabiwa kwansuku zonke kwama-25 amalitha ngomuntu ngamunye. Amasayithi azoqondiswa ngamalungu emaphoyiseni nasempi; Kodwa-ke, kubonakala kungenakugwenywa ukuthi impilo yomphakathi, ukuphepha kanye nomnotho kuzosithinteka ngenxa yalokho. Lesi simo esibucayi manje sibikezelwa ukuthi sizoqala ngo-Ephreli 29, 2018, nakuba kusekhona ithemba lokuthi lingagwenywa.
Izimbangela Zemvelo Zenkinga
Ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi inkinga yamanje iqala ngo-2014-2016 i-El Niño, isimo sezulu esibangela ukukhuphuka kwamazinga okushisa olwandle ngaphesheya kwe-Pacific equator. Ngenxa yalokhu kusetshenzwa kwamazinga okushisa, i-El Niño ithinta amaphethini ezulu emhlabeni jikelele-naseNingizimu Afrika, kubangela ukwehla okuphawulekayo emvula. Imvula eNingizimu Afrika phakathi kukaJanuwari noDisemba 2015 yayiyiyona ephansi kunayo yonke irekhodi kusukela ngo-1904, cishe okuwumphumela oqondile we-El Niño.
Imiphumela ye-El Niño nayo yenziwa yizikhukhula ezikhulayo kanye nemvula enciphisa ezwe lonke iNingizimu Afrika ngenxa yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. E-Cape Town, ushintsho lwezulu lushintshe amaphethini emvula ezindaweni zokudoba zomuzi, lapho imvula ezayo kamuva, ngokungahleliwe noma ngezinye izikhathi kungenzeki neze.
Okubi nakakhulu, iminyaka engaphansi kwe-imvula yemvula manje iyenzeka ngokuphindaphindiwe futhi kaningi, ukunikeza amanzi alo muzi ayingcosana nethuba lokubuyisa ngezikhathi zesomiso.
Izinto eziphuthumayo
Inani labantu abanda ngokushesha eKapa nalo liyingxenye yenkinga. Phakathi kuka-1995 no-2018, idolobha lathola inani labantu abangu-55% lisuka ezigidini ezingu-2.4 ukuya kubantu abayizigidi ezingu-4,3, kanti ukugcinwa kwamanzi kuye kwanda ngo-15% kuphela ngesikhathi esifanayo. Isimo sezombangazwe esiyingqayizivele somuzi siye saba nenkinga. Isifundazwe saseWestern Cape-iKapa esiyinhloko-silawulwa yiDemocratic Alliance (DA), iqembu eliphikisayo laseNingizimu Afrika. Ingxabano phakathi kwe-DA kanye neqembu elibusayo le-ANC, i-ANC, livimbe imizamo yamakhomishana kamasipala kanye nezifundazwe ukuba angakabikho inhlekelele yamanzi.
Ngonyaka ka-2015, isibonelo, uhulumeni kazwelonke wenqabe isicelo sesifundazwe esingu R35 million, esasizosetshenziselwa ukwandisa ukuhlinzeka ngamanzi ngokushaya imigodi emisha nokuvuselela amanzi. Kamuva izikhalazo zikaMeya waseKapa ngezinsiza zokusiza izinhlekelele nazo zalahlwa. Ngokombiko wezindaba zendawo, ukuphathwa okungalungile, isikweletu kanye nenkohlakalo eMnyangweni kaZwelonke weManzi nokuNgcweliswa kubuye kubekwe icala. Ngokuyinhloko, ukuhluleka ukunikezela ngokufanele ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi kwezolimo ekuqaleni kwesomiso kwasiza ukusheshisa ukuqedwa kokuqala kwamanqamu eKapa.
Izobuthinta Kanjani Ukuvakashelwa Kwami?
Kwabahlali baseKapetoni, imingcele yamanzi eNqanaba 6 kusho ukuvinjelwa kokunisela, ukuchelela, ukugcwalisa izimbiza zokubhukuda zangasese kanye nokugeza izimoto ngamanzi okuphuza omasipala. Ukusetshenziswa komuntu siqu kunamkhawulo angu-87 amalitha ngosuku, futhi imizi esebenzisa amalitha angaphezu kuka-10 500 wamanzi ngenyanga ihlawuliswa imali engu-R10,000. Umkhakha wezolimo kulindeleke ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ngo-60% (uma kuqhathaniswa nokusetshenziswa kwangaphambi kuka-2015). Izivakashi zizobe zithinteka ngokuyinhloko ukubekwa kwemingcele ukuthi izakhiwo zezohwebo (kufaka phakathi amahhotela) ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa ngo-45%.
Kulezi zikhungo eziningi, lokhu kusho ukuletha izinyathelo zokulondoloza amanzi njengokuvinjelwa okugeza, amahlumela afanelekayo namadivaysi anciphisa ukugeleza kwamanzi nokuguqula izinsimbi uma kudingeka. Amahhotela amaningi okunethezeka avalile amakamelo ayo okushisa namachibi, lapho iningi lamachibi okubhukuda ehhotela lingenalutho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengezakhamuzi zaseKapa ezihlala njalo, izivakashi zingathola ukuthi ukuhlinzeka kwamanzi amabhodlela kunzima kakhulu ukuza. Njengoba ukukhiqizwa kwezolimo kuhlupheka ngenxa yemingcele yamanzi, izintengo zokudla nokutholakala nazo ziyathinteka.
Indlela Ongasiza ngayo
Kusuka ezimemezelweni zezindiza ngaphambi kokuthinta phansi eKapa ukuze usayine ezindawo zomphakathi kanye nama-lobbies ehhotela, izindlela ongasiza ngazo ukugcina amanzi zisakazwa kulo lonke umuzi. Iningi lalezi zigxile kumaqhinga akho alondolozayo amanzi, kufaka phakathi isikhathi sokugeza isikhathi sakho emizuzwini emibili, cima uphephe ngenkathi ushaya amazinyo akho futhi unciphisa imvamisa lapho uhlanza indlu yangasese. Ibhodi yezokuvakasha i-Save njengomkhankaso wasekhaya inikeza uhlu olugcwele lwezindlela ongasiza ngazo, kanti lokhu kubalwa okulula okukusiza ukuthi uqiniseke ukuthi awudluli inani lakho lamahora angu-87 ngosuku.
Ngaphambi kokubhuka ihotela lakho , qiniseka ukuthi ubuze mayelana nezinyathelo zokulondoloza amanzi ezikhona.
Ikusasa
Njengoba kusondele ukushesha kweZero Zero, akungabazeki ukuthi isimo samanje saseKapa siyingozi. Ukuhlala njalo kwezinto ezibandakanya ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokwanda kwabantu eNingizimu Afrika kusho ukuthi izinkinga ezibhekene neKapa eminyakeni emithathu edlule cishe ziyoba yinto evamile; kanti nokho, naphezu kokungaqondakali kukahulumeni kazwelonke, idolobha ngokwayo linomunye wemisebenzi ephumelelayo yokuphathwa kwamanzi emhlabeni.
Iziphakamiso zokwandisa izimpahla zamanzi eKapa ziyaqhubeka, nezinhlelo eziyisikhombisa ezivela ezitshalweni ezintsha zokususwa kwezilwanyana kuze kube sekuhlelweni kwamanzi angaphansi komhlaba okulindeleke ukuthi unikeze ngamalitha angamazigidi angu-196 wamanzi ngosuku phakathi kukaFebhuwari noJulayi 2018. Kuthemba ukuthi lezi zinyathelo (ezihlangene nokuzikhandla ukunamathela emikhawulweni yeNqanaba 6) kuyoba okwanele ukuvimbela ukucaciswa koSuku lweZero ukuba kube ngokoqobo.
Ingabe Ngisadingeka Ngivakashe?
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, kubalulekile ukuthi izivakashi zikhumbule ukuthi izinto ezenza iKapa ekhethekile- kusukela ekudleni kwayo emhlabeni wonke kuya emabhishi aso-ahlale efana.
Izinkinga ezincane ezitholwa izivakashi ngenxa yenkinga yamanzi yintengo encane yokukhokha isimanga sokuvakashela eMama City. Ngisho phakathi nenkathi enkulu, izivakashi zandisa inani laseKapa ngo-1-3% kuphela, ngakho-ke zenza umehluko omkhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwamanzi jikelele kwedolobha (ngokubona ukuthi zihambisana nemingcele). Noma kunjalo, imali engenayo eyenziwe ngokuvakasha kwakho iyadingeka manje kunanini ngaphambili. Ngakho-ke, esikhundleni sokukhansela uhambo lwakho eKapa, mane ukhumbule isomiso futhi qiniseka ukwenza ibhu yakho ukuze usize.
