Indlela Abakhenkethi BaseCapeTown Abasinda Ngayo Esomisweni

IKapa lisanda kudlula kwesinye sezomiso esibi kunazo zonke emlandweni walesi sifunda kanti, ngemizamo yezakhamizi zalo, idolobha libuyele ebhizinisini - sibonga kakhulu ubuholi bomasipala beDolobha laseKapa kanye namandla alo okuhlanganisa abantu balo maqondana nokusetshenziswa okulondolozekayo okulondoloziwe.

Lokhu ngaphandle kokubikezela ukuthi ikomkhulu lezokuvakasha laseNingizimu Afrika belingaba idolobha elikhulu lokuqala emhlabeni ukoma ngokuphelele. Ucingo lwedolobha manje ukuthi lusavulekele amabhizinisi kakhulu futhi lukulungele ukwamukela izivakashi emuva kwesikhathi esibe yisikhathi esomile sezindawo zalo ezikhangayo nezindawo zokuhlala.

Isikhathi semvula sakamuva sikhiqize imvula enhle ngokwanele, okwenza amazinga wamadamu afinyelele emazingeni amukeleka kakhulu. Ngenkathi imikhawulo ekusetshenzisweni kwamanzi nsuku zonke ibuyekeziwe, eminye imikhawulo izohlala ikhona njengesivikelo. Amabhizinisi aseKapa aphumelele kakhulu ekuvumelaneni nendlela abasebenzisa ngayo amanzi nezimpawu kuhlala kusemahhotela nasezikhangisweni mayelana nokuthi anganciphisa kanjani ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi. Izivakashi bezilokhu zamukela kahle uma kukhulunywa ngokudlala indima ekongeni amanzi, ngoba kubhekwa njengento okufanele yenziwe.

Ezinze eKapa, ​​uDanny Bryer - waseNingizimu Afrika uqobo kanye noMqondisi Wendawo Yezentengiso, Ezokumaketha kanye Nezokuphathwa Kwezimali eProtea Hotels nguMarriott kanye ne-African Pride, i-Autograph Collection Hotels - uthi lokhu kuyinkomba yangempela yekhono ledolobha lokunqoba ubunzima. “Empeleni, inzuzo engaba khona yesikhathi eside leyo nqubo isinikeze yona futhi ingahlinzeka ngezifundo ezibalulekile kwamanye amadolobha, njengoba umhlaba uya ngokuya usiya ekusimameni okudingekayo kwemithombo yethu yemvelo. Lokhu kungaphezu kwamanzi - siyindawo edume ngokuvakasha emhlabeni wonke, ngakho-ke ukusimama kuzohlala kugxila kokuhehayo kwethu okuyingqayizivele. ”

Isazi esiphambili samazwe omhlaba kwezomthetho nenqubomgomo yemithombo yezemvelo, ezinze eStanford University Woods Institute for the Environment eCalifornia e-USA, uSolwazi Barton Thompson uchithe isikhathi eKapa efundisa ngenqubomgomo yamanzi futhi ujwayelene nedolobha inkinga yayo yamanzi. Embhalweni obhalelwe iStanford Law School ngasekuqaleni konyaka, uthi iKapa laba yisisulu sempumelelo yalo: "IKapa lisengcupheni enkulu ngoba belihle kakhulu kwezokonga."

Ubuye wengeza ukuthi iKapa libe yidolobha eliyisibonelo ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ngakunye futhi seliwine izindondo ngezinqubomgomo zalo zamanzi aluhlaza. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kuphinde kwanika amandla ukukhula kwabantu abalinganiselwa esigidini abafudukela eKapa kule minyaka eyishumi edlule - ngaphandle kokubheka imithombo emisha yamanzi. Ubala amadolobha amaningi anezimo ezifanayo, e-USA, Australia, Brazil, Venezuela, India nase China.

Ngo-2017, kanye nokulungiselela okubi kakhulu njengoba iKapa lalibhekise ngasezinsukwini zalo zasehlobo ezishisayo, futhi ngenhloso ephelele yokwehlisa izidingo, iDolobha laseKapa lavula uhlelo lokulawulwa kwezinhlekelele, inhloso yalo okwakumele luse ikwazi ukuhlinzeka izakhamizi zayo ngamanzi ngisho noma amadamu ayo esomile - isimo esaziwa kakhulu se- “Day Zero” kanye negama elinikezwe ukuqaphela komphakathi kanye nomkhankaso wokuqalisa ukusebenza.

Amaphuzu amathathu amakhulu okuthinta yile: ukudlulela enkathini yemvula ebusika yaseKapa maphakathi no-2018, ukuphatha amanzi asele emadamini anezinga lamadamu adluliswa ngemithombo yezindaba nsuku zonke, nokwenza amasu nokusetshenziswa kwemali ekwenzeni ingqalasizinda ezobeka phambili ukuletha amanzi asakazayo avela kweminye imithombo efana namanzi asebenza kabusha namanzi angaphansi komhlaba, kanye nokufakwa kwezitshalo zokususa usawoti.

Njengomphumela womkhankaso onolaka, abantu baseCapeton babekela imingcele yokusebenzisa kwabo amalitha angama-50 ngosuku, bathatha imizuzu engama-60 ukugeza ngamabhakede ukubamba nokusebenzisa kabusha amanzi, umshini wokuwasha owenziwe kabusha wasuswa, izindlu zangasese ezifuthwayo kanye ngosuku, baphuza amanzi asebhodleleni futhi bafaka amanzi amathangi nomaphi lapho isikhala nemali bekutholakala khona.

UMqondisi wezokuXhumana weDolobha, u-Priya Reddy, ucashunwe ethi: “Kwakuyinto ekhulunywa kakhulu eKapa izinyanga lapho kwakudingeka ukuthi kube njalo. Akusona isixazululo esihle, kodwa bekungeyona inkinga enhle. ”

Ngenxa yalokhu, ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi kwedolobha kwehle kusuka kumalitha ayizigidi ezingama-600 ngosuku maphakathi no-2017 kuya kumalitha ayizigidi ezingama-507 ngosuku ngo-Ephreli 2018. “Besidinga ngempela ukukwenza kuthuse ngokwanele ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isimo samanzi siyashintsha.”

UBryer uyaphetha: “Lo mkhankaso uphinde wasenza njengabanikazi bamahhotela ukucabanga kabili ngamanzi. Njengesizwe ngakho-ke njengedolobha, siyayijabulela inselelo yokuba namandla. Ngenkathi abantu baseNingizimu Afrika behlangabezana nenkinga kagesi eminyakeni embalwa edlule, izifundo esizitholile zagxilwa engqondweni yethu kazwelonke ebumbene futhi sesijwayele ukonga amandla. Ngokunjalo nakubantu baseCapeton, ukonga amanzi manje sekudlulele enseleleni esiyamukela nsuku zonke njengoba sithemba ukuthi sizophinde sizithole sisesimweni esifanayo futhi. ”
