Okuxakayo ngemboni yezokuvakasha ukuthi umkhakha wezokuvakasha nawo ukhombise leli khono elimangalisayo lokusimama. Ngakho-ke kukhona okuthile ngezokuvakasha okuqinile. Yilona elivezwe kakhulu kodwa futhi likhombise ikhono elikhulu lokululama.

Kepha ezokuvakasha zisanda kukhula ngesivinini esikhulu, futhi lokho kuqinisa iphuzu lokuthi kungaba nazo zonke izinhlobo zezithombe emnothweni, futhi izimboni eziningi zizothatha isikhathi eside kakhulu ukululama, kepha ezokuvakasha zikwazile ukusimama ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngakho-ke kubenzi benqubomgomo kubalulekile ukuthi sitadishe lesi sigameko, siyasiqonda, futhi sisibhale ngokufanelekile futhi silinganiswe, futhi sisifake emikhubeni yethu ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi noma yiluphi uhlobo lwenhlekelele olungasithinta, singalulama ngempela.
“Ngakho-ke, ngihlabeke umxhwele ngomsebenzi ozokwenziwa yi-Resilience Centre, hhayi nje ezokuvakasha kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu izifundo ezingafundwa ezinye izimboni mayelana nesivinini sokululama ngemuva kwezinhlekelele kanye nokwakhiwa kokudilizwa kanye nezinqubo zokuqinisekisa lokho. sinokukhuthazela nokusimama.
