Isiqhingi sasePalau sihlela ukuvinjelwa kwesikrini selanga ukonga amakhorali

Izwe elincane elisesiqhingini sasePacific iPalau lizovimba izivikeli zelanga “ezinobuthi obutholakala emanzini” kusukela ngo-2020 kulokho abathi kuwuhlelo lokuqala emhlabeni wonke lokunqanda ukungcoliswa kwamakhemikhali kubulala amakhorali alo adumile.

IPalau, esentshonalanga yePacific cishe phakathi kwe-Australia neJapan, ithathwa njengendawo ehamba phambili yokutshuza emhlabeni, kodwa uhulumeni ukhathazekile ukuthi ukuthandwa kwayo kuza ngenani eliphansi.

Umkhulumeli kaMengameli u-Tommy Remengesau uthe kunobufakazi besayensi bokuthi amakhemikhali atholakala kuma-sunscreen amaningi anobuthi kumakhorali, ngisho nangemithamo emincane.

Uthe izindawo zokutshuza zasePalau zivame ukuba nezikebhe ezine ngehora ezigcwele izivakashi, okuholela ekutheni kube nokukhathazeka ngokwakhiwa kwamakhemikhali kungabona izixhobo zifinyelela lapho zifinyelela khona isiphetho.

"Nganoma yiluphi usuku olulingana namalitha okuvikela ilanga angena olwandle ezindaweni ezidumile zasePalau zokutshuza kanye nezindawo zokushushuluza," etshela abe-AFP.

“Sibheka nje ukuthi yini esingayenza ukuze sinqande ukungcoliswa kwemvelo kungangeni emvelweni.”
Uhulumeni uphasise umthetho ovimbela i-sunscreen “enobuthi” kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, 2020.

Noma ubani ongenisa noma othengisa amafutha okuvikela ilanga avinjelwe kusukela ngalelo langa uzobhekana nenhlawulo ka-US$1,000 (3,300 baht), kuyilapho izivakashi ezifika nawo ezweni zizothathwa.

"Amandla okushaqa ama-sunscreen kufanele anele ukunqanda ukusetshenziswa kwawo okungezona ezohwebo, futhi lezi zinhlinzeko zihamba ngendlela ekhaliphile phakathi kokufundisa izivakashi nokubaxosha," kusho uRemengesau etshela iphalamende ngemuva kokuphasiswa komthetho ngeledlule.

Isifundazwe saseMelika iHawaii simemezele ukuvinjelwa kokuvikela ilanga esikhunjeni esinobuthi ngoMeyi kulo nyaka, kodwa ngeke kusebenze kuze kube ngu-2021, unyaka ngemuva kwePalau.
