Umbuzo wokuthi noma ubani owazalwa ngemva kukaJanuwari 1, 2007, kufanele kunqatshelwe ukuthenga ugwayi noma abenzi bezomthetho abakhipha umphunga cishe bazonquma imikhiqizo ngesonto elizayo.
(Lapho umhlangano omusha wePhalamende uqala ngoMsombuluko (Oct 3), uMthethosivivinywa Wokulawulwa Komkhiqizo Kagwayi kanye Nokubhema 2022 uzoba ngomunye wemithetho ehlongozwayo yokuqala ezokwethulwa, ngokusho kweLungu LePhalamende (MP) likaSibuti Lukanisman Awang Sauni.

Ngemva kwalokhu kufundwa, wadluliselwa ku-PSSC ukuze acwaningwe futhi kamuva wasuswa etafuleni.
Uma kubhekwa ukufakwa kwesimiso sokuvinjelwa kwesizukulwane kanye neqiniso lokuthi, ngokungafani ne-New Zealand, uMthethosivivinywa Osalungiswa futhi ufuna ukwenqabela ukuthengiswa kwezimpahla ezinobungozi obuncane ezizukulwaneni ezizayo, njengama-vapes nezinto zokushisisa ugwayi, kube nokubhukha okuningi kwezimboni. kanye nezikhalazo. Ukwengeza, uMthethosivivinywa unikeza izikhulu zezomthetho igunya elikhulu.
“Ukwenqatshelwa okuhlongozwayo kogwayi, imikhiqizo kagwayi, kanye imikhiqizo yokuphefumula liya phambili. Kodwa uma kuqhathaniswa nangaphambili, lo Mthethosivivinywa usubuyekeziwe. Kuningi ukuvumelana okwenziwe ngungqongqoshe (uKhairy), ikakhulukazi maqondana nezinkinga ezahlukahlukene ezihlobene nokugcinwa komthetho," kusho uLukanisman.
“Ngokwesibonelo, isigatshana esasizojezisa izingane ngokuphatha nokusebenzisa ugwayi noma izimpahla ze-vape sesisusiwe. Ngakho-ke intsha ayenziwa njengobugebengu, kodwa izoba ngaphansi kohlobo oluthile lwenkomponi,” engeza.
Uma betholakala bethenga ugwayi noma imikhiqizo ye-vape, abantu abazalwa ngo-2007 noma ngemva kwalokho bangahlawuliswa imali efinyelela ku-R5,000 njengokusho koMthethosivivinywa ohlongozwayo. Young ababhemayo abatholakele njengamanje bangabhekana nenhlawulo efika ku-R1,000.
Abaphathi bavumile ukubambezela ukuqaliswa okuhlongozwayo kokuvinjelwa kokubhema kusukela ngo-2025 kuya ku-2027, kuqale ngesizukulwane sika-2007, ngokusho kukaLukanisman. Ngenxa yalokho, lapho izingane ezizalwe ngo-2007 ziba neminyaka engu-20, ngeke zikwazi buy ugwayi, usikilidi, noma izinto zokuphefumula.
Ukuphendula ukukhathazeka kwamaphalamende, i-MOH yaguqula uMthethosivivinywa ohlongozwayo ngoJulayi. Ushintsho oluphawuleka kakhulu kwaba ukubambezeleka kweminyaka emibili ekusebenziseni ukuvinjelwa kokubhema kubantu abazalwa ngemva kuka-2007, ngokungafani no-2005.
