Ezokuphepha nezokuphepha eTanzania zabavakashi sezithuthukiswe kakhulu, zinikeza imisebe yethemba embonini yamadola ayizigidigidi, kusho ucwaningo olusha. Tanzania ingenye yezindawo zokuvakasha ezibalulekile emhlabeni, eziheha izivakashi ezicishe zibe yizigidi eziyi-1.5, ezishiya ngemuva ama- $ 2.4 billion minyaka yonke, ngenxa yehlane layo elimangalisayo, izindawo ezinhle zemvelo nabantu abanobungane.
Ukuhlolwa kweProjekthi Yezokuphepha Nokuvikeleka Kwabavakashi eTanzania, okwenziwe ngokubambisana yi I-Tanzania Association of Tourism Operators (I-TATO) kanye nePhoyisa, kukhombisa ukuthi kube nezinguquko eziningana zokulawulwa okuholele ekuthuthukisweni kwezokuphepha.
"Ngaphandle kwezinguquko ezikhona, kube nokushintsha okukhulu emiqondweni yabo bonke abalingisi ababambe iqhaza" kubhala u-Emmanuel Sulle noWilbard Mkama, abesilisa abenza ucwaningo olwaluthunyelwe yi-TATO futhi luxhaswe yi-BEST-Dialogue.
Kuyaqondakala ukuthi ngomthetho i-Police Force and Auxiliary Services Act, uCap 322 [RE, 2002] umbutho wamaphoyisa unegunya eliphakathi lokuphepha kwabavakashi.
Ngenxa yokuguqulwa kwesikhungo, ngo-2013/14, lo mthetho wasetshenziswa ukusungula uphiko lwamaphoyisa olunxusa kanye nezokuvakasha, olubhekele ukuphepha kwabavakashi kanye nezikhulu ezihambela izwe.
Izinguquko zibuye zabona izikhala zoKhomishani Kazwelonke Wezokuvakasha eNdlunkulu yamaPhoyisa nasemazingeni ezifunda ezibizwa ngokuthi zibambe iqhaza elibonakalayo ekuqinisekiseni ukuphepha nokuvikela izivakashi.
Isibonelo nje, uphiko lwase-Arusha selukhuphule kakhulu ukuqapha ezindaweni eziseduze nasezikhungweni zezokuvakasha ezisenyakatho emizameni yalo yakamuva yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izivakashi zikuthokozela kakhulu ukuphepha lapho zihlala khona.
Okusemqoka phakathi kwalezi zimpumelelo kufaka phakathi ukushintshwa kwesimo sengqondo sabo bonke abalingisi ababambe iqhaza. Isibonelo, endaweni esenyakatho, lapho izinhlelo eziholwa yi-TATO seziqalisiwe, izivakashi manje sezisingathwa ngokuhlukile ngamaphoyisa akhethekile.
Ukuze kwenziwe lula ukufezeka kwephrojekthi, amalungu e-TATO anikele ngezinsizakusebenza zezezimali nezinomusa ukwakha isiteshi samaphoyisa sezokuvakasha kanye nenxusa kanye namaphoyinti amane okuhlola amaphoyisa asesikhumulweni sezindiza samazwe omhlaba i-Kilimanjaro (KIA) eya emgwaqweni omkhulu waseNgorongoro Crater.
Baphinde banikela ngezimoto zokugadwa komgwaqo omkhulu futhi bafaka ifenisha kanye nezinsizakalo ze-Intanethi ngenhloso yokwenza isiteshi samaphoyisa sibe ezokuvakasha ezigcwele ngokugcwele kanye nezikhundla zamanxusa.
Izinombolo zamaphoyisa okuqapha abonakala ngasese emigwaqeni emikhulu evela ezikhumulweni zezindiza nasemahhotela kuya ezindaweni zezivakashi eziphakeme, njengeSerengeti neNgorongoro Crater, zikhuphukile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
"Laba baphathi banciphise kakhulu ukudunwa kwezimoto kanye nezehlakalo zokubanjwa inkunzi komgwaqo omkhulu" kusho umbiko.
Isiteshi samaphoyisa e-Arusha esikhathini esifushane sikhombise imiphumela ebalulekile ekutholeni imali emacaleni obugebengu bokuzikhethela, kusho umbiko.
Ngo-2017, iziteshi zathola ama- $ 18,000, kanti ngo-2018 iziteshi zase-Arusha zathola ama- $ 26,250. Ngaphezu kwalokho, onyakeni wezimali u-2017/18, izikhungo zamaphoyisa ezokuvakasha zase-Arusha zikwazile ukufaka amacala angama-26 okukhwabanisa, kanti ngo-2018/19 amacala ayi-18 kuphela aqoshwa.
"Ukwehla kwesibalo samacala kuxhumene nemizamo emikhulu yamaphoyisa ezokuvakasha e-Arusha ekubhekaneni nasekulandeleni umkhonyovu wemisebenzi yezivakashi" umbiko ufundeka ngokwengxenye.
Ucwaningo luphinde lwahlukanisa umthetho iPrevention of Terrorism Act 2002 njengethuluzi elinamandla ebelilokhu likhona ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwabavakashi.
Ngempela, imithethonqubo ihlinzekela ukuqoqwa kwemininingwane yezokuphepha ukuze kuliwe nezinsongo zobuphekula ezingabeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwabavakashi.
"Umthetho Wokuvikela Nokulwa Nenkohlakalo (PCCB Act), uCap 329 ka-2007 nawo uqinisa ezokuphepha kubavakashi" lo mbiko ufundeka ngokwengxenye.
Ezimweni lapho izivakashi noma abanikazi bezokuvakasha bacelwa ukuthi bafunjathiswe ukuze baphephe, isenzo se-PCCB sinelungelo lokubika amacala anjalo.
Ngenkathi uMthetho Wezokuvakasha wango-2008 uqukethe ngokulambisa izindaba zokuphepha nokuvikela izivakashi, uhlaka oluhlongozwayo lweNqubomgomo Yezokuvakasha Kazwelonke yowezi-2018 luhlinzekela imizamo “yokuqinisa ezokuphepha nokuphepha kwabavakashi”.
“Imizamo yalaba ababambiqhaza yokuqinisa ezokuvakasha ngokwenza ngcono ezokuphepha nokuvikeleka, nokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda kokunye okuholele ekwenyukeni kwesibalo sabavakashi abavakashela izwe,” kuphetha lo mbiko.
