Iqiniso lokuthi ukusetshenziswaamanethi omiyaneingavikela abasebenzisi ekufeni kukamalaleveva, ikakhulukazi izingane, akuzona izindaba. Kodwa kwenzekani lapho umntwana esekhulile futhi eyeka ukulala ngaphansi kwenethi? kucatshangelwa ukuthi lapho izingane sezikhulile, ukuvikela izingane ekuchayekeni amagciwane kwandisa izinga lokufa kwazo.Ucwaningo olusha luyikhanyisela le nkinga.
Izingane zase-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara, ikakhulukazi, zisengozini enkulu yokungenwa umalaleveva. Ngo-2019, inani lokufa kukamalaleveva phakathi kwezingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kwemihlanu lalingama-76%, intuthuko isuka kuma-86% ngo-2000. Ngasikhathi sinye, ukusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane. -amanethi omiyane alashwe (ama-ITN) alesi sigaba seminyaka anyuke asuka ku-3% aya ku-52%.
Ukulala ngaphansi kwenethi lomiyane kungavimbela ukulunywa omiyane. Uma esetshenziswa kahle, amanetha omiyane anganciphisa abantu abanesifo sikamalaleveva ngo-50%. .
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abantu abahlala ezindaweni ezinomalaleveva bathola “ukuvikelwa okuphelele ngokuphelele ekuguleni okunzima nokufa” kodwa ezifweni ezincane nezingabonakali.
Ngeminyaka yawo-1990, kwaphakanyiswa ukuthi amanetha ombhede angase “ehlise ukuzivikela komzimba” futhi amane asuse ukufa kumalaleveva kuya ekugugeni, ngokunokwenzeka “kudle izimpilo eziningi kunalokho ekusindisayo”. Ngaphezu kwalokho, okutholakele kusikisela ukuthi amanethi ehlisa amasosha omzimba abalulekile ukuthola ukuzivikela kumalaleveva.Kusabonakala kungacacile ukuthi isimo sezulu sakamuva noma ukuchayeka kancane/okuncane kumagciwane kamalaleveva kunomphumela ofanayo ekutholeni amasosha omzimba (njengasocwaningo lwaseMalawi).
Ucwaningo lwangaphambili lubonise ukuthi umphumela we-ITN muhle.Kodwa-ke, lolu cwaningo luhlanganisa iminyaka engu-7.5 (iBurkina Faso, iGhana neKenya).Lokhu futhi kwaba yiqiniso eminyakeni engaba ngu-20 kamuva, lapho ucwaningo olusanda kushicilelwa eTanzania lubonisa ukuthi kusukela ngo-1998 kuya ku-2003, izingane ezingaphezu kuka-6000 ezizalwe phakathi kukaJanuwari 1998 no-August 2000 zabonwa zisebenzisa amanethi omiyane.Amazinga okusinda kwezingane aqoshwa ngalesi sikhathi kanye nango-2019.
Kulolu cwaningo lwesikhathi eside, abazali babuzwa ukuthi ngabe izingane zabo zilale ngaphansi kwenethi lomiyane yini ngobusuku obudlule. ukuvakasha kwasekuqaleni, nalabo abahlale belala ngaphansi kwenethi lomiyane uma beqhathaniswa nalabo abangazange balale.
Imininingwane eqoqwe futhi yaqinisekisa ukuthi amanethi omiyane anganciphisa izinga lokufa kwezingane ezineminyaka engaphansi kwemihlanu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, labo ababambiqhaza abasinda lapho bezalwa iminyaka emihlanu nabo babe namazinga aphansi okufa lapho belele ngaphansi kwenethi lomiyane. Okugqame kakhulu kwakuyizinzuzo amanetha, eqhathanisa abahlanganyeli ababika njalo belala ngaphansi kwamanethi njengezingane nalabo abangalali.
Ngokuqhubeka nokusebenzisa lesi sizindalwazi, uyavumelana neMigomo Nemibandela yethu, Izinkombandlela Zomphakathi, Isitatimende Sobumfihlo kanye Nenqubomgomo Yekhukhi.
