Ukutya koBomi eMzantsi Afrika kusasaza izidlo ezisekelwe kwizityalo ngeempelaveki kwiCape Flats nakwiindawo ezithile zeNtshona Koloni

  • Kwisebe leFood for Life SA eSchaapkraal, ePhilippi, lilungisa iimbiza ezinkulu zokutya okusekelwe kwizityalo ukulungiselela inkitha yamakhitshi esuphu kulo lonke elaseCape Flats nakwiindawo ezithile zeNtshona Koloni.
  • Babedla ngokondla abantu abangaphezu kwama-4,000.
  • Kodwa ngenxa yokunqongophala kwenkxaso-mali, kuye kwafuneka ukuba baqinise ukusebenza kwaye banciphise inani lokutya abakwaziyo ukuhambisa ukuya kuma-2,000.

UNilesh Luckhoo, unondyebo kunye nompheki wakwaFood for Life SA, uqala usuku lwakhe ngentsimbi yesi-5:30 kusasa ukulungiselela ukupheka iimbiza ezinkulu zokutya okusekelwe kwizityalo eziza kuhanjiswa kwinkitha yeekhitshi zesuphu yoluntu kwiCape Flats nakwiindawo ezithile zeNtshona Koloni.

UGroundUp undwendwele isikhongozelo sokuthumela ngenqanawa kuFood for Life’s eSchaapkraal, ePhilippi ngentsasa yangoMgqibelo ebandayo, eyayinamafu. Iibhakethi ezininzi zeplastiki ezizilitha ezingama-20 bezibekwe ngaphandle kwesingxobo, zilungele ukuzaliswa sisidlo sosuku. Ngaloo mini yayiyirayisi, i-carrots, iitapile, i-baby marrows, ikhaphetshu, kunye ne-soya (mince) yeprotein. Iibhakethi zisiwa kwiikhitshi zesuphu kwiindawo ezininzi.

Yaqalwa ngo-2013, iFood for Life SA eNtshona Koloni ihambisa ukutya qho ngeempelaveki kwimibutho eli-12 engenzi nzuzo kunye neekhitshi zesuphu zasekuhlaleni ezondla amawakawaka abantu. Kwilizwe lonke, iFood for Life inamasebe angama-24.

ULuckhoo uthi lo mbutho waqalwa eIndiya, ngethuba umsunguli uSrila Prabhupada wabona abantwana besilwa nezinja befuna iimvuthuluka zokutya. “Ngoku sinamasebe ehlabathini lonke.”

ULuckhoo uthi lo mbutho eNtshona Koloni kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba wehlise isantya ngenxa yokunqongophala kwemali. Bebesondla abantu abangama-4 000 kodwa ngoku bondla abangama-2 000 kuphela. “Ngethemba lokuba xa iminikelo kunye nenkxaso-mali iqalile, siya kukwazi ukubuyela kwinani lethu lokuqala elingaphezu kwama-4,000,” utshilo uLuckhoo.

USachin Dajee, obevolontiya ukusukela ngo-2020, uthe imali ibingumzabalazo, nangona umbutho usindile kwiminyaka ye-Covid. “Sicela i-debit order ye-R20 ukuya ku-R50. Sihlala sikhangela iindlela ezahlukeneyo zengeniso. Ngumzabalazo.

“Inkxaso-mali yokugqibela ibingoSeptemba ka-2021 apho sipheke ukutya okungama-25,000 kwiindawo eziphantse zibe yi-150. Kunyaka ophelileyo ngoAprili sipheke isidlo sethu sesigidi,” utshilo uDajee. Uthi: “Baninzi kakhulu abantu abasweleyo.

UMerissa Meyer ovela kwi-Conquering Through Faith Ministries uqokelele kuKutya koBomi iminyaka emibini. Kwimpelaveki yePasika, umbutho wakhe wondle abantu abadala nabantwana abahlala esitratweni. “Injongo yethu yayikukukhupha izidlo ezingama-200.” UMeyer uthe uluntu abasebenza kulo luquka iPelican Park, iLotus River, iGrassy Park kunye nePlumstead.
