Inkinga yamandla angabonakali: Ukulayisha umthwalo kanjani emkhakheni wezokuvakasha waseNingizimu Afrika

INingizimu Afrika, izwe eligujwa emhlabeni jikelele ngenxa yezilwane zasendle ezahlukahlukene, amagugu amasiko ahlukile, kanye namagugu amahle kakhulu, bekulokhu kubumbana nenkinga engabonakali emnyameni wayo ophambili wezomnotho-imboni yezokuvakasha. Umsolwa? Udaba oluphikelelayo lomthwalo kagesi.

Ukuchithwa komthwalo, noma ukuvalwa ngamabomu kwamandla kagesi ezingxenyeni noma ezingxenyeni zohlelo lokusabalalisa amandla, akuyona into entsha eSouth Africa. Kodwa-ke, imiphumela yayo isiye yabikwa kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva, ithinta kakhulu ukusebenza komkhakha wezokuvakasha. Ngokwemininingwane ekhishwe nguMkhandlu Wezamabhizinisi Wezokuvakasha waseNingizimu Afrika (i-TBCSA), inkomba yebhizinisi laseNingizimu Afrika ye-Tourism Tourism ye-Half ye-2023 yema ngamaphuzu angama-76.0 kuphela. Lo mdwebo we-rub-100 upende isithombe semboni elwela ukuhambisana ngenxa yezinselelo eziningi, ngokuchithwa kwemithwalo ekubeni umphikisi oyinhloko.

I-80% yamabhizinisi ayi-80 ngaphakathi komkhakha wezokuvakasha ikhombe le nkinga yamandla njengento evikelekayo ekusebenzeni kwawo. Leli phesenti libonisa iqiniso elinzima; Ngaphandle kokuthola ugesi ozinzile, izikhungo eziningi zikuthola kuyinselele ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezibalulekile zokuhlangenwe nakho kwezivakashi. Konke okuvela ezindaweni zokuhlala amahhotela, ama-ejensi okuhamba, abahlinzeki bokuvakasha ezindaweni zokudla neziphuzo bayathinteka. Lokhu kuphazamiseka kuholela ekukhanselweni, ukulahleka kwemali, kanye nedumela eliwohlokayo izwe njengendawo evakashekayo yezivakashi.

Ngaphandle kwalezi zingqinamba, i-TBCSA iye yacabanga ukuthi imboni yezokuvakasha yaseNingizimu Afrika izodonsela izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe ezingaba ngu-2055 ngasekupheleni kuka-2023. NgoJulayi 2023, lesi sibalo sase sivele sifinyelele ezigidini ezingama-4,8. Yize lokhu kuqagela kubonisa ukululama okulinganiselwe, inkinga eqhubekayo yokuchitha umthwalo insongekile yokuthola le nhloso.

Ukulwa nemiphumela elimazayo yokuchitheka komthwalo emkhakheni wezokuvakasha, kube nokucindezela ekuhlanganiseni imithombo yamandla evuselelekayo futhi Ukuqalisa ubuchwepheshe obusebenza ngamandla. Uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika wethule imizamo eminingana yokuqhakambisa amandla avuselelekayo, njengohlelo oluvuselelekile lwamandla ezinkampani zamandla ezimele (Reippp), okuhlose ukukhuphula amandla wamandla avuselelekayo ezwe. Uhlelo seluvele lukhange nge-zor engaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ekutshalweni kwemali futhi lwakha amathuba emisebenzi angaphezu kuka-38,000 emkhakheni wamandla avuselelekayo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, amabhizinisi amaningi embonini yezokuvakasha athathe izinyathelo zokunciphisa ukuncika kwazo kugridi yamandla kazwelonke futhi asebenzise eminye imithombo yamandla. Isibonelo, amanye amahhotela afake amaphaneli elanga ukukhiqiza ugesi wawo, kanti amanye atshale imali ezinhlelweni ezisebenza kahle zokukhanyisa kanye nokushisa.

Ngenkathi le mizamo iyancomeka, kuningi okudinga ukwenziwa ukunciphisa umthelela wokuchitheka komthwalo emkhakheni wezokuvakasha. Uhulumeni kumele aqhubeke abeke phambili amandla avuselelekayo futhi ahlinzeke ngezikhuthazo zamabhizinisi ukutshala imali emithonjeni yenye yamandla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amabhizinisi embonini yezokuvakasha kumele aqhubeke nokuhlola izixazululo ezintsha zokunciphisa ukuncika kwazo kugridi yamandla kazwelonke futhi anciphise umthelela wokuchitheka komthwalo ekusebenzeni kwawo.

Ekuphetheni, Ukuchitheka komthwalo kuhlala kuyinselelo enkulu ebhekene nemboni yezokuvakasha yaseNingizimu Afrika. Kodwa-ke, ngemizamo eqhubekayo yokubhekela amandla avuselelekayo namandla okusebenza kwamandla, kunethemba lokululama okuqhubekayo. Njengezwe elinokuningi esingakunikeza ngokobuhle bemvelo, amagugu amasiko, kanye nezilwane zasendle, kubalulekile ukuthi sisebenzisane ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuchitha umthwalo akusizi endaweni yokuvakasha yaseNingizimu Afrika.
