Isexwayiso mayelana nomlilo wequbula eGauteng nasezingxenyeni ezithile zaseMpumalanga, naseLimpopo.
I-South African Weather Service ikhiphe isexwayiso se-red fire risk index (FDI) ngoLwesithathu ngezimo zomlilo wequbula eziyingozi kakhulu ezindaweni eziningi zaseGauteng, kubandakanya neTshwane. Lezi zimo kulindeleke ukuthi ziqhubeke kusukela ngoLwesine kuze kube phakathi kwamabili ngoLwesihlanu.
Ngokombiko wesimo sezulu, kulindeleke ukuthi kube nezimo eziyingozi kakhulu zezingozi zomlilo kumasipala wase-JS Moroka naseNkomazi eMpumalanga naseMaruleng kumasipala waseLimpopo ngoLwesine, nasezindaweni zaseGauteng, Mpumalanga naseLimpopo ngoLwesihlanu.
Umnyango wezimo eziphuthumayo eTshwane (ESD) usunxuse imiphakathi ukuthi iqaphele.
Idolobha lithe izimo zomlilo wequbula eziyingozi kakhulu zingase zilindelwe uma inkomba ye-FDI ingaphezu kuka-75.
“Ngaphansi kwalezi zimo, imililo ingaqubuka futhi ibhebhetheke ngokushesha, okuholela ekulimaleni kwempahla kanye nokulahlekelwa kwempilo yabantu kanye/noma izilwane,” kusho okhulumela i-ESD uLindsay Zwelithini Mnguni.
Izimo ezishisa kakhulu nezinomoya zingabangela imililo yequbula ebalekayo futhi iqinise imililo ezindaweni zaseGauteng.
“Sicela imiphakathi ukuthi iqaphele izinyathelo zokuphepha. Amathimba ezicishamlilo, abasebenzi kanye nemishini kufanele kubekwe endaweni ebekwe eceleni. Uma kuvela uphawu lokuqala lwentuthu, kufanele kuthathwe zonke izinyathelo ezingenzeka ukuze kulawuleke umlilo ngesikhathi esifushane kakhulu. Zonke izindiza ezikhona kufanele zibizelwe ngaphandle kokulibala.”
