A.    Imiba yokusiNgqongileyo

1.    Ukukhutshwa kweyeza lokugonya leSifo seNtsholongwane ye-Corona (i-COVID-19)

1.1.    Ikhabhinethi iyamkele inkqubela-phambili yokugonya i-COVID-19 ethe ngoLwesibini, womhla wesi-8 kweyeSilimela 2021 yafikelela kwi-1 524 589 kwaye ugonyo lweThamo Lokuqala le-Pfizer lufikelele kwinqanaba ebelifuneka eliyi-1 045 245, eliyi mbalasane ebalulekileyo.  Ukongeza, ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezintathu zabantu ababhalise kwiNkqubo yeeNkcukacha zokuGonya ye-Eletroniki, engunobangela wokubhiyoza kumlo wethu odibeneyo ochasene nokusasazeka kwentsholongwane. 

1.2.    Ubambiswano kunye necandelo labucala kugonyo kunye nenkqubo iyonke ye-COVID-19 yomeleza iinzame zesizwe sethu ekuqinisekiseni ukuba izitofu ezisindisa ubomi kunye nomyalezo ngamanyathelo okhuseleko oluchasene nobhubhane we-COVID-19 ufikelela kubantu abaninzi. 

1.3.    Ikhabhinethi iyakwamkela ukungqinisiswa kweyeza lokugonya i-COVID-19 le-Sinovac ukuba lisetyenziswe ngokungxamisekileyo nguMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi, owenza ukuba Igunya loLawulo lweeMveliso zeMpilo loMzantsi Afrika likhawuleze liqwalasele isicelo esivela kwi-Sinovac.

Inani labantu abafuna umsebenzi abangakhuthazekanga linyuke ngama-201 000 (6,9%) phakathi kweekota ezimbini, ngenani elipheleleyo elili-164 000 kubantu abangasebenziyo ngokwezoqoqosho.

2.2.    Olu tshintsho luncinci lubangele ukuba izinga lokungaphangeli elisemthethweni linyuke nge-0.1 yepesenti ukusuka kwi-32.5% kwikota yesine yowama-2020 ukuya kwi-32.6% kwikota yokuqala yowama-2021 - elona liphezulu ukusukela oko kwaqala i-QLFS ngowama-2008. Izinga lokungaphangeli ngokwenkcazelo eyandisiweyo yokungaphangeli linyuke nge-0.6 yepesenti ukuyakufikelela  kwi-43.2% kwiKota yoku-1 yowama-2021 xa kuthelekiswa neKota yesi-4 yowama-2020.

2.3.    Izinga lokungaphangeli ngokusesikweni phakathi kolutsha (kwiminyaka eli-15 ukuya kwengama-34) ibiyi-46.3% kwiKota yoku-1 yowama-2021. Izinga beliyi-9.3% phakathi kwabafundi abaphumelele eyunivesithi. Ingqesho yecandelo elisesikweni inyuke ngama-79 000 ngelixa amanye amacandelo ehlangabezene nokuhla kwengqesho kwikota yoku-1 yowama-2021. Ingqesho yecandelo elingekho sesikweni yehle ngama-19 000 (0.8%); Kumakhaya abucala yehle ngama-70 000 (5.8%), kwaye kwingqesho yeZolimo yehle ngama-18 000 (2.2%).

2.4.    Amanye amashishini adale imisebenzi ngelixa amanye elahlekelwe yimisebenzi phakathi kweKota yesi-4 yowama-2020 kunye neKota yoku-1 yowama -2021, nto leyo ikhokelele ekwehleni okupheleleyo okungama-28 000 kwimisebenzi iyonke. Ingqesho inyuke kakhulu kwezeMali (inyuke ngama-215 000) nakwamanye amashishini athe afumana imisebenzi equka Iinkonzo zoLuntu kunye nezeNtlalo (16 000), Izinto eziluncedo (16 000), iMigodi (12 000) kunye noVeliso (7 000). Ukulahleka kwemisebenzi kwaqwalaselwa kuLwakhiwo (87 000), kuRhwebo (84 000), kuMakhaya abucala (70 000), kwezoThutho (40 000) nakwezoLimo (18 000).
