Umkhakha wezokuvakasha waseThekwini usengozini njengoba bembalwa abavakashi abavakashela idolobha. Idolobha elingasogwini aliselona isibani sezivakashi elake saba yilo. Sekungamashumi eminyaka iTheku lithathwa njengendawo ethandwa kakhulu yizivakashi zendawo. Idolobhakazi belinikeza izinto ezijabulisayo, izinhlobonhlobo zamahhotela amahle, amabhishi amnandi nengqalasizinda esebenza kahle.
Izifundazwe ezimaphakathi nezwe zaziyizimakethe ezinkulu zezokuvakasha eThekwini, ezazibizwa ngokuthi “Idolobha lapho ubumnandi bungapheli”. Ukuvalwa kwamabhishi kwakamuva, ngenxa yamazinga aphezulu egciwane lamanzi i-e.coli olwandle kube nomthelela emnothweni wezokuvakasha waseThekwini.
Yize amabhishi aseThekwini esevulwe kabusha, izinombolo zezivakashi bezisephansi. UJace Govender, wakwaLifesaving South Africa utshele IBUNDA IZINDABA ukuthi bambalwa abantu abavakashele amabhishi aseThekwini kulezi zinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule, uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo eminyakeni edlule. Kodwa-ke, uGovender uthe ulindele ukuthi isibalo sabavakashi senyuke ngesikhathi sikaNcibijane njengoba amabhishi aseThekwini ejwayele ukuthola izivakashi eziningi ngomhlaka-1 Januwari ngoba usuku kuyiholidi.
Utshele IBUNDA IZINDABA ukuthi kunezinhlelo nezokuphepha ezikhona ngoNcibijane, obekujwayelekile ukuthi kunyuke amanani ezivakashi emabhishi edolobha. Ngokudabukisayo, iTheku selineminyaka eminingana lilahlekelwa isabelo semakethe yezivakashi. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi leli dolobha alisakhangi kubantu baseNingizimu Afrika.
Ukuwohloka kwezindinganiso nokwenyuka kokungasebenzi kahle kwengqalasizinda kwenze idolobha elingasogwini langabakhangi kakhulu abavakashi bamaholide. Amahhotela amaningana edolobha avale iminyango yawo kanti ezinye zezindawo ezikhanga izivakashi azisasebenzi.
