Umeluleki we-NFU kaSurrey u-Romy Jackson uthi: “Ngokudabukisayo, isibalo sokuhlaselwa kwezinja ezilwaneni zasemapulazini sisalokhu siphezulu ngendlela engamukeleki futhi ukuhlasela kunomthelela omkhulu ezimpilweni zabalimi.
“Njengoba sibona isibalo esiphezulu sabantu nezilwane ezifuywayo emaphandleni njengoba ubhubhane luqhubeka, sithatha leli thuba ukufundisa abahamba ngezinja. Sithemba ukuchaza ukuthi abalimi babamba iqhaza elibalulekile kanjani ekuphathweni kwe-Surrey Hills, ukukhiqiza ukudla kwethu nokunakekela le ndawo enhle kangaka. Sikhuthaza abantu ukuthi bakhombise ukwazisa ngokuthi bagcine izinja zilandela imfuyo futhi zicoshe namachibi azo okungaba yingozi ezilwaneni ikakhulukazi izinkomo. Njalo faka isikhwama futhi ubophe indle yenja yakho – noma yimuphi umgqomo uzokwenza.”
IPhini likaKhomishana wamaPhoyisa noBugebengu eSurrey Ellie Vesey-Thompson uthe: “Kuyangikhathaza ukuthi abalimi emiphakathini yethu yasemakhaya babone ukwanda kokuhlaselwa kwezinja ezilwaneni nasemfuyweni njengoba izakhamuzi eziningi nezivakashi ziye zasizakala ngendawo yasemaphandleni enhle yaseSurrey esikhathini esidlule. Izinyanga ezingu-18.
“Ngicela bonke abanikazi bezinja bakhumbule ukuthi ukukhathazeka ngemfuyo kuwubugebengu obunomthelela omubi emoyeni nasezimalini. Uma uhamba nenja yakho eduze nemfuyo sicela uqinisekise ukuthi ihola phambili ukuze izigameko ezinjengalezi zigwemeke futhi sonke sijabulele indawo yethu yasemaphandleni emangalisayo.”
I-NFU iphumelele ukukhankasela ukuthi kuguqulwe umthetho ukuze kunqandwe izinja ezingalawuleki futhi ikhankasela ukuthi kube semthethweni uma izinja zihanjwa eduze kwezilwane zasemapulazini.
Ngenyanga edlule, i-NFU ikhiphe imiphumela yocwaningo oluthole cishe abantu abayisishiyagalolunye kwabayishumi (10%) ababuzwa esifundeni bathi ukuvakashela emaphandleni nasemapulazini kuthuthukise impilo yabo ngokomzimba noma ngokwengqondo - ngaphezu kwengxenye (82.39%). ethi kusizile ukuthuthuka kokubili.
Inqwaba yezindawo zezivakashi zasemakhaya ezidumile zisemapulazini asebenzayo, abalimi abaningi basebenza kanzima ukugcina izindlela zezinyawo kanye namalungelo omphakathi endlela ukuze izivakashi zijabulele indawo yethu yasemaphandleni enhle. Esinye sezifundo ezibalulekile ezitholwe ekuqubukeni kwe-COVID-19 kube ukubaluleka kokuthi abantu balandele Ikhodi Yezwe lapho bevakashele emaphandleni ukuze bazivocavoce noma bazijabulise. Kodwa-ke, ubuningi bezivakashi ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwezindlu nokwabuye kwadala izinkinga kwezinye izindawo, nokwanda kokuhlaselwa kwezinja emfuyweni phakathi kwezinye izinkinga ezihlanganisa ukungena ngokungemthetho.
