Sisaqhubeka nokubhekana nezinselele ngokuphakelwa kwethu ugesi. Nakhu ukuthi kungani, futhi kwenziwani ukuthuthukisa isimo. Ugesi wethu uvela kwa-Eskom ngolayini ongamakhilomitha angu-130 obizwa ngokuthi Abalimi Line 2, oqala e-Leeu Gamka. U“T” ukusuka kulo mzila oya e-PA kungamakhilomitha angama-50 ukusuka e-Leeu Gamka. Lo mugqa ugunyaza abasebenzisi abangaphezu kuka-30, okuhlanganisa nedolobha lethu. Ukubanjwa? Uma kukhona okungahambi kahle noma yikuphi kukho konke lokhu okuphakelayo, kungakhipha amandla awo wonke umuntu, okuhlanganisa ne-PA.

- Ukucekela phansi impahla kanye nokweba: Umonakalo odalwe izenzo zobugebengu.
- Ingqalasizinda egugayo: Impahla nezakhiwo ezigugile.
Ukwehluleka ngaphakathi kwesibopho sikamasipala
Ukwehluleka kokuphakelwa kukagesi ngaphansi kukamasipala kungahlukaniswa izigaba ezimbili:
- Amaphutha esikhathi esifushane: Abangelwa amagatsha esihlahla ukuthinta izintambo zikagesi phakathi nomoya omkhulu noma imvula.

Le iphrojekthi enkulu engathatha iminyaka emibili. Nakhu okudingeka sikwenze:
- Hlela Izifundo Zomthelela (imvelo, indawo, njll.)—lokhu kungathatha unyaka.
