EZOkuvakasha zomhlaba wonke zafinyelela amarekhodi amasha ngo-2006, njengoba kufike izigidi ezingu-842, okukhuphuke ngama-4,5% uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka odlule. Ngonyaka odlule, imboni yenze amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyisi-7, okulindeleke ukuthi ikhuphuke ibe ngaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingu-13 zamaRandi kule minyaka eyishumi ezayo.
Lokho kusho ukuthi ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha manje sekuyi-10% yesamba somkhiqizo wasekhaya womhlaba, ama-8% emisebenzi kanye no-12% wokutshalwa kwezimali emhlabeni jikelele.
Uma i-SA ifuna ucezu olukhudlwana lwalo phayi kufanele yazi izici ezenza kube yimpumelelo indawo oya kuyo. Yingakho i-Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index esanda kukhishwa evela ku-World Economic Forum ibaluleke kangaka. Lo mbiko uhlose ukuhlonza amandla okuncintisana amazwe kanye nezithiyo ezithiya intuthuko yezokuvakasha. Lolu lwazi lusiza ukunikeza inkundla yezingxoxo phakathi komphakathi wamabhizinisi nabakhi benqubomgomo kazwelonke.
Kunezigaba ezintathu eziyinhloko ezakha isisekelo senkomba - uhlaka lokulawula; ibhizinisi kanye nohlaka lwengqalasizinda; kanye nohlaka lwemithombo yabantu, yamasiko nemvelo.
Esigabeni sokuqala, inhlolovo ibheka izindawo ezifana nezidingo ze-visa, ukuvuleka kwezidingo zesevisi yomoya yamazwe amabili, isikhathi nezindleko ezidingekayo ukuze kuqalwe ibhizinisi (lezokuvakasha). Okwesibili kubheka ingqalasizinda yezokuthutha zasemoyeni nephansi, ingqalasizinda yezokuvakasha, nezinye izindawo ezihlobene ezifana nobuchwepheshe bezokuxhumana kanye nokuncintisana namanani entengo. Eyesithathu irekhoda iziphiwo zemvelo nezomuntu, zibheka amasayithi obuhle bemvelo noma izinto ezithakaselwayo ngokwamasiko.
Amazwe ayi-10 ahamba phambili kulo nyaka yiSwitzerland, Austria, Germany, Australia, Spain, UK, US, Sweden, Canada neFrance. I-SA iyizwe lase-Afrika elikleliswe phezulu endaweni yama-60.
Inhloso yanoma iyiphi inkomba iwukuzama nokuhlonza izici ezingase zibe nomthelela noma zibikezele impumelelo endaweni ethile oyithakaselayo. Ngokunikeza amaphuzu amapharamitha ambalwa futhi uwahlanganise abe inombolo eyodwa izwe lingaziqhathanisa namanye amazwe ngendlela ephusile. Kulokhu, i-World Economic Forum inikeze amapharamitha alinganisekayo angasiza noma avimbele iresiphi yemboni yezokuvakasha eyimpumelelo.
Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi inkomba ihlobana ngempela nezici ezifana nenani labavakashi abafikayo ezweni, noma imali engenayo yonyaka ekhiqizwa imboni yezokuvakasha. Inkulumo-mpikiswano yabenzi benqubomgomo iwukuba kubhekwe izici ezenza inkomba, kuhlolwe ukubaluleka kwazo okulinganiselwe futhi kwenziwe izinguquko ezizoholela ngethemba kumphumela ophezulu wenkomba kanye nokusho imboni yezokuvakasha enempumelelo kakhudlwana.
Uma kubhekwa izinsiza ze-SA zemvelo nezamasiko kuyamangaza ukuthi asikwazi ukuthola izinga eliphezulu kuneLatvia noma iPanama. Ukuhlukaniswa kwethu namazwe ngamazwe kwasilahlekisela iminyaka eminingi ekuthuthukisweni kwezokuvakasha, kodwa eminyakeni eyi-14 singene embusweni wentando yeningi entsha bekufanele senze kangcono.
I-SA yenza amaphuzu amahle ezinsizeni zemvelo (21) kanye nezinsiza zamasiko (ama-40). Ngokuqinisekile siyancintisana ngentengo (29th) futhi ngokuvamile sinengqalasizinda yomoya enhle (yama-40). Nokho, kunezindawo ezimbalwa lapho singenzi kahle khona.
Sikleliswe endaweni ye-118 ngokwabasebenzi, sisendaweni yama-48 kwezemfundo nokuqeqeshwa, futhi sisendaweni ye-126 ngokutholakala kwabasebenzi abaqeqeshiwe. Ingqalasizinda yethu ye-ICT ihlezi impofu uma iqhathaniswa namanye amazinga ethu (ama-73), futhi ngeke kumangaze ukuzwa ukuthi sikleliswe endaweni ye-123 ngokwezokuphepha nokuvikeleka. Izinga lama-84 kwezempilo nenhlanzeko lingase lesabise isivakashi esinovalo.
Kwabaningi, lo mbiko uyikhwelo lokuthi uhulumeni enze okwengeziwe emkhakheni wezokuvakasha. Ngeshwa, okuphambene kuyiqiniso.
Isizathu sokuthi i-SA ithole u-“C-minus” kuzo zonke lezi zinkomba zamazwe ngamazwe ukuthi zabelana ngemingcele eminingi egqagqene, futhi konke kukhomba ezinkingeni ekulungiseni imisebenzi ewumongo: ukuphepha nokuvikeleka; uhlelo lwezobulungiswa oluvikela amalungelo empahla nezinkontileka; uhlelo lwentela olungakhethi; imakethe yezabasebenzi engahlangani ngokungadingekile ezinyunyaneni.
I-SA ikleliswe endaweni yama-44 ku-Global Competitiveness Report kodwa yenza kabi ekusebenzeni kahle kwezabasebenzi (yama-78). Umbiko Webhange Lomhlaba Wokwenza Ibhizinisi usibeka kunombolo-35, kodwa ukhombisa izinkinga ezinkulu ezigabeni ezifana nokuqasha abasebenzi (abangama-91), ukuphoqelela izinkontileka (zama-85) nokuhweba ngaphesheya kwemingcele (ye-134).
Inkomba ye-Economic Freedom of the World ye-Fraser Institute igqamisa ukushiyeka kwe-SA (i-64th general) ekuhlukeni kwamazinga entela (ye-117), imithetho yokuqasha nokudubula (ye-116), ukusetshenziswa kukahulumeni (ye-101) kanye nobuqotho bohlelo lwezomthetho (98th).
Inkomba yeWorld Economic Forum ikhombisa futhi ukuthi i-SA izokwenza kahle ngokugxila ezintweni eziyisisekelo zikahulumeni kunokuzama izinhlelo ezinkulu.
