Kuboshwe abasebenzi be-EPWP ngecala lokweba nokuthengisa kwemithi yokukhipha izisu

Abesifazane abathathu abasebenza ngaphansi koHlelo Olunwetshiwe Lwemisebenzi Yomphakathi baboshwe ngemuva kokuthi amaphilisi e-Cytotec asetshenziselwa ukuqedwa kokukhulelwa ngokusemthethweni kuthiwa ebiwe eStretford Community Health Centre e-Orange Farm futhi athengiswa ezigulini ezilinde emgqeni wekliniki. UMnyango Wezempilo waseGauteng wamukele ukuboshwa wathi isinyathelo esibalulekile ekuvikeleni iziguli, ukuvikela imithi yomphakathi kanye nokugwema abantu abazama ukuzuza ngempahla kahulumeni.

Abasolwa abathathu baboshwe ngoLwesine, mhla zingama-27 kuNcwaba, bavalelwa eSiteshini Samaphoyisa sase-Orange Farm futhi kulindeleke ukuthi bavele enkantolo ngoMsombuluko, mhla zingama-31 kuNcwaba 2026. Umnyango uthi amaphilisi anyamalala ngoMsombuluko, mhla zingama-24 kuNcwaba 2026. Abasolwa kuthiwa baphule ingidi ekhabetheni lemithi bathatha amabhokisi amabili e-Cytotec knaye namanye amaphilisi.

I-Cytotec igama lomkhiqizo le-misoprostol, umuthi osetshenziswa ezikhungweni zomphakathi njengengxenye yezinsizakalo ze-Choice on Termination of Pregnancy. Emtholampilo kuhloswe ukuthi kukhishwe kuphela ngemuva kokuba uchwepheshe oqeqeshiwe eseqinisekisile ukukhulelwa, futhi ehlole ukuthi kuhambe ibanga elingakanani, echaze izingozi futhi elandele inqubo kazwelonke. Ngaphandle kwalekho, kuba umuthi ongalawuleki ezandleni zabantu abangaqeqeshelwe ngokusemthethweni ukwenzalomsebenzi.

Umuntu obika ngalendaba, uwabe esetshela iziphathimandla. Kuthiwa umsolwa oyedwa wabanjwa ethengisa amaphilisi ebiwe kubantu besifazane ababemi kulayini emtholampilo esikhungweni esifanayo, ngemuva kokuthi iklayenti ebelivele selithenge amaphilisi, lakhomba umthengisi. Uhlonywe imibuzo eyengeziwe, wabe esekhipha abanye abasebenzi ababili.

Amaphoyisa endawo nawo athi isikhalazo mayelana nemithi elahlekile safika ku-Orange Farm SAPS ntambama ngosuku lokuboshwa. Amaphoyisa atshelwe ukuthi isitokwe sinyamalele endaweni yokulahla imithi. Kuthiwa ezokuphepha emtholampilo zavimba umuntu ukuba ahambe nomuthi olahlekile. Amaphoyisa athi uphenyo lwabe selukhomba abasebenzi abathathu, nokuthi iklayenti elilodwa kuthiwa likhokhe u-R500 wamaphilisi asetshenziselwa ukuqeda ukukhulelwa. Laba abathathu basolwa ngokweba imithi.

UMnyango wezeMpilo ukhombe abasolwa njengabasebenzi besifazane be-EPWP. Izikhundla ze-EPWP ziyimisebenzi yesikhashana yokuqashwa komphakathi. Akuzona izikhundla zobuhlengikazi, zekhemisi noma zemitholampilo. Izisebenzi kulolo hlelo akufanele zibe nokufinyelela okuzimele ekhabetheni elikhiyiwe lemithi yokukhipha isisu.

Isixwayiso esinamandla somnyango asigcini nje ngokweba. Simayelana nalokho okwenzekayo lapho owesifazane osemgqeni womphakathi enikezwa indlela emfushane. Abesifazane abalinde ukuqedwa ngokusemthethweni bavame ukukhathazeka, ukuswela imali futhi besaba ukubonwa. Umthengisi ongekho emthethweni omi kuleyo ndima efanayo angabonakala njengosizo: akukho ukuqokwa okwengeziwe, akukho mibuzo, iphakethe lamaphilisi kanye nesithembiso sokuthi kuzophela ngokushesha. Umnyango uthi leso sithembiso sifana nesenziwe ngabasebenzi bokukhipha isisu egcekeni. Sishibhile, siyimfihlo futhi asiphephile.

I-Misoprostol esetshenziswa ngaphandle kokuhlolwa okufanele kwezokwelapha ingahluleka ukukhipha isisu. Izicubu ezishiywe ngemuva zibangela ukukhipha isisu okungaphelele. Lokho kungaholela ekopheni okukhulu, ekuthelelekeni kanye nenqubo yesibili ephuthumayo. Abesifazane bafe ngenxa yokopha kanye ne-sepsis ngemuva kokuthatha amaphilisi okukhipha isisu athengwe emgwaqweni, kubathengisi bezinkundla zokuxhumana noma emakamelweni angenalayisensi akhangiswa ezigxotsheni zezibani.
