Njengoba iMidlalo ye-Olympic ye-2016 - ezobanjelwa eRio de Janeiro, eBrazil - isondela, ukukhathazeka ngegciwane leZika liyaqhubeka likhula. Idolobha liye lahlushwa kanzima yisifo, esiye sahlotshaniswa nokukhubazeka okungathí sina ezinganeni ezelwe abazali abalelekile. Ngenxa yalokho, abanye abagijimi nabagibeli bakhetha ukweqa imidlalo ngenxa yesaba yokuthola igciwane ngenkathi bevakashela izwe laseNingizimu Melika, kuyilapho abanye behlambalaza ukuthenga umshuwalense wokuhamba ukumboza imali yabo.
Kodwa, kuvela ukuthi udinga ukufunda kahle-ukuphrinta kumgomo wakho womshuwalense kakhulu, ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi uZika akahlanganisiwe nhlobo.
Ngingummemezeli omkhulu we-inshurensi yezokuvakasha ikakhulukazi, ngoba ngokuvamile uhlinzeka ngokubaluleka okubalulekile kulabo abavame ukuvakashela izindawo ezikude lapho izingozi zingaphezulu futhi izindleko zokuphuma zingathola imali enhle kakhulu. Enye yezingxenye ezisemqoka cishe noma iyiphi inqubomgomo yomshuwalense wokuhamba yilawo owaziwa ngokuthi "ukukhanselwa kohambo". Ngokuyinhloko, le ngxenye yenqubomgomo iqinisekisa ukuthi uzobuyisela imali yakho uma uhambo lwakho lukhanselwa ngesizathu esithile. Isibonelo, uma inhlekelele yemvelo ihlasela indawo ozoyivakashela kuyo, futhi u-opharetha wezokuvakasha unquma ukuthi akuphephile ukuba abe khona, bangadonsa ipulagi kulo lonke uhambo. Kulokhu, inkampani yakho yomshuwalense wezokuvakasha izokubuyisela izindleko zohambo, ikuvimbele ekulahlekelweni izinkulungwane zamaRandi.
Uzwakala kahle kuhle? Yebo, inkinga ukuthi iningi lalezo zinqubomgomo ngeke zimboze izindleko zakho uma ukhansela uhambo ngokwakho. Lokhu kuyinto eningi abaye bayithola kamuva lapho befunda ngoZika, futhi banquma ukuthi akuphephile ukuba bavakashele izindawo ezithintekile. Ezinye zalaba bahambi zazihlanganisa omama abalindele, kanye nemibhangqwana efuna ukukhulelwa.
Izingozi ezinganeni zabo ezingakazalwa zazibhekwa njengeziphakeme kakhulu, ngakho-ke isinqumo senziwa ukuba singaqhubeki ngezinhlelo zabo zokuhamba, ngokuvamile zilandela iseluleko sikadokotela wabo.
Abanye balaba besilisa nabesifazane bathengile umshuwalense wokuhamba ukumboza ukuhamba kwabo, kodwa ngokuvamile bavinjelwe izicelo zokukhansela ukuhamba ngoba abanikazi bezinqubomgomo banqume ukungabi nengozi yokuvakashela indawo yabo ngokuzodwa. Ngamanye amazwi, uma wena unquma ukukhansela izinhlelo zakho, ungalindeli ukuthi inkampani yomshuwalense izobhalela izindleko zakho. Kuziningi zalezi zinkampani, ukugwema ukutheleleka kwe-Zika okungenzeka kungesizathu esanele sokukhansela uhambo futhi uhlale ekhaya, ngenxa yalokho abakhokhi izinqubomgomo ezithengiwe.
Kukhona okungafani nalomthetho noma kunjalo. Ezinye izinkampani zomshuwalense zokuhamba - ezifana ne-Travel Guard - zinikeza lokho okuyaziwa ngokuthi "khansela nganoma yisiphi isizathu". Lokhu kukuvumela ukuthi ukhokhele ingxenye yengendleko yohambo lwakho uma ikhanselwa. Lolu hlobo lokuhlanganisa lukuvumela ukuthi uphinde uphume ohlelweni lwakho lokuhamba ngaphandle kwemibuto eceliwe, unikeze ukuguquguquka okwengeziwe kumakhasimende.
Njengoba ucabanga, kunezindlela ezimbalwa zokubamba "ukukhansela nganoma yisiphi isizathu".
Ngokwesibonelo, kuvame ukubiza cishe u-20% ngaphezu komshwalense wokuhamba ojwayelekile, futhi ngokuvamile awubuyiseli lonke uhambo. Esikhundleni salokho, uthola ingxenye yemali emuva, nabaningi abahambayo bebona cishe amaphesenti angama-75 ezindleko zokuhamba kohambo oluhlanganisiwe. Yize lokho kungewona ukukhokhelwa okugcwele kwezindleko zakho, kungcono kunokungabuyiselwa imali, okuye kwaba yinkinga yabaningi abahamba phambili abafuna ukugwema iZika okwamanje.
Uma kufanele ugula ngegciwane leZika ngenkathi uhamba, izinqubomgomo eziningi zomshuwalense zizohlanganisa noma yiziphi izindleko zezokwelapha ezingase zivele. Inkinga iwukuthi iningi labantu abenza isivumelwano se-Zika ababonisi noma yiziphi izimpawu, futhi ngenxa yalokho abadingi ukunakekelwa kwemithi noma. Ngakho-ke, amathuba okuba noma ngabe usulelekile, cishe ngeke ukwazi noma izimpawu ngeke zomelele ngokwanele ukuze zidinga noma yiluphi uhlobo lwesenzo noma kunjalo.
Noma kunjalo, kuhle ukwazi ukuthi ukuhlinzeka kwezokwelapha kufanele kudingeke.
Ngokuvamile, qiniseka ukuthi ufunda ukuphrinta okuhle emaphoyiseni akho futhi ucele imibuzo ethize ngalokho okwenzayo futhi 'ayikufihli. Kubalulekile ukwazi kusengaphambili ukuthi ngabe unayo yini inqubomgomo ehlangabezana nezidingo zakho noma awunayo, ngoba ingabonisa ukuthi ibaluleke kakhulu empilweni yakho futhi iphethe ukugcina izinkulungwane zamaRandi.
