UMnyango wezeMvelo, amaHlathi kanye nezokuDoba umeme amalungu omphakathi ukuthi aphawule ngenhloso yokuchibiyela uMthetho Wokongiwa Kwemvelo, i-Environmental Conservation Act, i-Plastic Carrier Bags kanye ne-Plastic Flat Bags Regulations.
Izichibiyelo AKUVIMBI izikhwama zepulasitiki kodwa zisho ukuthi izikhwama zepulasitiki kanye nezikhwama zepulasitiki eziyisicaba kumele zenziwe kusukela ekusetshenzisweni kabusha kwangemuva kuka-50% kusukela ngomhlaka-1 Januwari 2023, u-75% wezinto ezigaywe kabusha kusukela ngo-2025 futhi kufanele zibe no-100% wabathengi bangemuva. kabusha kusukela ngo-2027.
7496 Abahlanganyeli (kuvalwe ngomhlaka-7 Septhemba).

Funa ukuthi iNingizimu Afrika ivale izikhwama zepulasitiki
Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika kufanele benqabe imithetho kahulumeni emisha yezikhwama zepulasitiki ezintekenteke futhi bacele ukuvinjelwa okuphelele kwalezi zinto ezishintshwa kalula, ezisetshenziswa kanye eziletha ukunethezeka kwesikhathi esifushane ngezindleko zokulimala kwemvelo okukhulu kwesikhathi eside.
Umugqa wesikhathi weminyaka eyisikhombisa wokwenziwa kwezikhwama zepulasitiki ngezinto ezigaywe kabusha ezingu-100% awunamandla kakhulu. Kunalokho, sidinga umthetho ozoba nomthelela wangempela futhi osheshayo.
Abantu baseNingizimu Afrika basebenzisa izikhwama zokuthenga zepulasitiki ezibalelwa ezigidini eziyi-8 ngonyaka, naphezu kwentela ye-plastic carrier bag levy eyethulwa ngo-2003, futhi izinombolo ezinkulu zalezi zikhwama zilahlwa ngokungakhethi.
Okulingana neloli likadoti elilodwa lepulasitiki lingena olwandle lwethu njalo ngomzuzu futhi ngo-2050, ucwaningo lwesayensi lubonisa ukuthi kuzoba nepulasitiki eningi ngesisindo olwandle kunezinhlanzi. Cishe izikhwama eziyizigidi eziyishumi zisetshenziswa njalo ngeminithi emhlabeni wonke - futhi cishe uhhafu usetshenziswa kanye ngaphambi kokuba zilahlwe. Isikhwama ngasinye sepulasitiki sisetshenziswa imizuzu eyi-15 kuphela ngokwesilinganiso - kodwa kungathatha iminyaka engama-500 ukubola. Eqinisweni, wonke amapulasitiki ahlala emvelweni kuze kube phakade, ngesimo se-microplastics engabonakali ngeso lomuntu.
Ipulasitiki ibulala izilwane zasendle, ilimaza izilwandle zethu, ivala imifula nemisele yendle, idla iNingizimu Afrika izigidi ngezigidi zokuphathwa kwemfucuza komasipala, ibhubhisa izimpilo zabantu, ingena ekudleni kwabantu futhi ibangela imidlavuza nokukhubazeka kokuzalwa. Ososayensi bathole ipulasitiki emanzini kampompi ngisho nakusawoti nobhiya.
Kungcolisa imithombo yethu yamanzi futhi kunomthelela ekuguqukeni kwesimo sezulu kuwo wonke umjikelezo waso wokuphila, kusukela ekuzalweni kuye ethuneni, ngenxa yokumba uphethiloli kanye nokuthuthwa, ukucwengwa kwepulasitiki nokukhiqizwa, ngaleyo ndlela kubukela phansi ilungelo lethu elingokomthetho lokuthola indawo ezungezile engeyona ingozi empilweni yethu noma. inhlalakahle.
Imfucumfucu yepulasitiki ayiphumeleli nje kuphela ezindlekweni eziphakeme zokuhlanza kodwa futhi iletha nokulahlekelwa okukhulu kwezokuvakasha, ezokudoba kanye nemikhakha yemikhumbi, okuzokhinyabeza ukusimama kwethu komnotho ngemva kwe-Covid.
I-Afrika ihamba phambili emhlabeni jikelele ekulweni nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki njengoba izifundazwe ezingu-35 kwezingu-54 sezivele zavala izikhwama zepulasitiki.
INingizimu Afrika kufanele ibajoyine ngokuvimbela ngokushesha izikhwama zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye kuphela ukuthi zithengiswe noma zinikezwe mahhala lapho zidayiswa khona bese ziyayekiswa. Ngomhla woku-1 kuMasingana 2023, kufanele ngabe sezishintshiwe ngokuphelele ngezikhwama zenkampani yesikhathi eside ezenziwe ngezinto ezingu-100% ezigaywe kabusha.
Ngaphezu kwe 13,000 abantu baseNingizimu Afrika bacele ukuthi kuvalwe izikhwama ezisetshenziswa kanyekanye. Hlanganyela nabo ngokusho ngokuqinile ukuthi “Cha!” esiphakamisweni sikahulumeni se-greenwash.
UKUKWENZELA AMANDLA OKUBA UJONGE INQUBOMGOMO KAHULUMENI
INingizimu Afrika Ethandekayo iyinkundla eqashelwa ngokomthetho futhi evikelwe ngokomthethosisekelo engenzi nzuzo eyenza umphakathi ukwazi ukubumba zonke izinqubomgomo, izichibiyelo kanye neziphakamiso zikahulumeni ngokubambisana. Senze imikhankaso eminingi eyimpumelelo futhi sihlanganise inethiwekhi enkulu kakhulu yabahlanganyeli abangaphezu kuka-750,000 ezweni lonke nangale kwayo.
Asizigijimisi izicelo. Siqhuba izinqubo ezamukelwa ngokomthetho zokubamba iqhaza komphakathi ezivumela izakhamizi ukuthi zenze inqubomgomo ngokuhlanganyela kuwo wonke amazinga okuphatha. Nakuba izincwadi zezikhalazo, noma ziqukethe izinkulungwane zamasignesha, zithathwa njengezethulo eyodwa nguhulumeni, inqubo yethu iqinisekisa ukuthi ukuphawula ngakunye okwenziwa nge-deadsouthafrica.co.za kuyaqashelwa futhi kubalwa njengesiphakamiso somuntu ngamunye nguhulumeni.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, sigcina irekhodi elinembile lakho konke ukubamba iqhaza futhi sikhiqiza umbiko otholakala esidlangalaleni ekupheleni kwephrojekthi ngayinye. Lo mbiko wenza isisekelo secala elizwakalayo lezomthetho uma kwenzeka kuba nesidingo sokuphikisa isinqumo.
Ukubamba iqhaza akukubizi LUTHO, futhi kulula futhi kuyashesha ukukwenza ngenkundla kangangokuthi awunazo izaba zokungasiza ekulolongeni inqubomgomo NGAPHAMBI kokuba ibe umthetho. Umthetho osetshenziswa inselele ngokomthetho uyabiza futhi awuvamile ukuphumelela. Ukuvimbela kungcono kunokwelapha.
Ukubamba iqhaza ezinhlelweni zokuthatha izinqumo kusho ithuba lokuthi izakhamizi, izinhlangano zomphakathi kanye nabanye abathintekayo babe nomthelela ekuthuthukisweni kwezinqubomgomo nemithetho ebathintayo. Senze kwaba lula kuwe njengesakhamuzi esinesibopho saseNingizimu Afrika, ukuthi ube nomthelela ezinqumweni zikahulumeni ngaphambi kokuthi zenziwe.
