Imakethe yensimbi ibilokhu kuthiwa “isikhathi esibucayi ngoMashi nango-Ephreli, isizini esingekho ngoMeyi”. Kodwa kulo nyaka imakethe yensimbi ithintwe yi-Covid-19 njengoba ezokuthutha zasekhaya kanye nezimpahla zaphazamiseka. Kwikota yokuqala, izinkinga ezifana nempahla ephezulu yensimbi, ukwehla okukhulu kwesidingo esiphansi, kanye nokwehla okukhulu kwenzuzo yezinkampani kuye kwahlupha izinkampani zensimbi. Ngakho-ke isizini esibucayi sanyamalala ngoMashi. Ngemva kokungena kwikota yesibili, ngenxa yokwethulwa okuqhubekayo kwenqubomgomo kazwelonke yokwehla kwezomnotho kanye nokusheshisa okuqhubekayo kokuqaliswa kabusha kokukhiqiza nokukhiqiza kuzwelonke, isidingo esiphansi emakethe yensimbi saqala ukukhuphuka, kanti amasheya ensimbi nawo aqhubeka nokwehla izinyanga ezimbili zilandelana. Kodwa uma ubheka lokhu kuyimakethe Ngemuva kokuwa okujulile, “isizini esibucayi ngo-Ephreli” yayinganele. Kusukela kokuhlangenwe nakho kwangaphambilini, ngokufika kwesizini yemvula eningizimu, isidingo sensimbi sivame ukuqala ukushintsha kusuka kwisizini esibucayi esiphansi siye kwisizini esingekho ngemuva koSuku Lomsebenzi, futhi amanani ensimbi asebenza kakhulu kancane, ngakho-ke kukhona isitatimende esithi “isizini esingekho ngoMeyi”.

Kulo nyaka, ngenxa ye-COVID-19, isidingo esiphansi sibambezelekile, kanti ukubanjwa kwe-NPC&CPPCC ezweni kuhlehliselwe ekupheleni kukaMeyi. Njengoba isikhathi semihlangano emibili yezwe sisondela, imiphumela yemihlangano emibili izoletha izinzuzo eziningi, ivuthele ukushisa okukhulu emakethe yensimbi, okuzokhulisa kakhulu ukuzethemba kwemakethe kanye nezimboni eziphansi.

Ukuphikisana phakathi kokunikezwa kanye nesidingo kuholele ekuphumuleni kancane kancane. Akunzima ukuthola ukuthi minyaka yonke izikhathi ezimbili zezwe zihambisana "nesiphepho sokuvikelwa kwemvelo." Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ikhwalithi yomoya phakathi nezikhathi ezimbili, ezinye izinkampani zensimbi zidinga ukuyeka ukukhiqiza phakathi nalesi sikhathi. Lokhu kunciphise ingcindezi yokunikezwa kwemakethe ngezinga elithile, kwadlula ukwehla okuqhubekayo kwempahla, ukukhishwa kwesidingo okusheshayo, nezinye izici. Ukuphikisana kokunikezwa kanye nesidingo semakethe kuholele esikhathini sokuphumula. Amanani ensimbi kulindeleke ukuthi akhuphuke kancane ngenxa yalomphumela.

Sekukonke, ngaphansi kwezibusiso ezinhle ezilindelwe yiNational People's Congress kanye neNational People's Congress, umuzwa wemakethe yensimbi ulungisiwe, kodwa inkinga yokungadingeki ngokwanele isabonakala. Ngenxa yalokhu, izinkampani zensimbi kufanele zisebenzise umphumela wokubambisana kochungechunge lwezimboni, futhi zilandelele ngesikhathi ulwazi lokufunwa kwezimboni ezingezansi. Ngemva kwemibiko yomsebenzi kahulumeni ekhishwe yimihlangano emibili yezwe kulo nyaka, zizofuna ngokushesha amathuba ensimbi aqukethwe kuwo.
