Imoto Yekhebula Entsha eNtabeni i-Kilimanjaro? Ezokuvakasha zaseTanzania zithi Cha!

Ngo-2019, iTanzania yamemezela icebo elinamandla elizobona ukufakwa kwemoto yamakhebula eNtabeni iKilimanjaro emzamweni wayo wokuphindaphinda izinombolo zonyaka zezivakashi eziya entabeni ephakeme kakhulu yase-Afrika isuka ku-50,000 iye ku-200,000 ngaleyo ndlela ivune amadola engeziwe.

Abatshalizimali bendawo baphikisa ngokuthi alikho ithenda elafakwa ukuze kuqhudelwane kahle nokuthi i-AVAN Kilimanjaro Ltd., inkampani engamaphesenti angu-100 ephethwe ngabanikazi bamasheya abayisi-6 bangaphandle, ezimeni eziyizingxabano, iqokwe ukuba iqhube lo msebenzi.

Ummeli omele abathwali bempahla, uMnu. Engelberth Boniphace, ukhombe ngomunwe iziphathimandla ezisolwa ngokwephula umthetho wezwe ngamabomu ngokuvumela abatshalizimali bakwamanye amazwe ukuba basebenze. isevisi yemoto yekhebula eNtabeni iKilimanjaro.

“Umthetho uhlinzekela ukuhluka kwezinsizakalo zeMount Kilimanjaro kubasebenzisi bendawo; kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi inkampani ephethwe ngabaninimasheya bakwamanye amazwe inikezwe ilayisense yokusebenzisa ikhebula lemoto ngokumelene nayo?” wabuza. Isigaba 58(2) soMthetho Wezokuvakasha waseTanzania ka-2008 ubeka ngokusobala ukuthi ukubhaliswa kwezintaba noma uhambo lokuhamba ngezinyawo kuzokhishelwa izinkampani ezingaphansi kwamaTanzania ngokugcwele.

Imininingwane yohlelo lwebhizinisi mincane.

I-AVAN kuthiwa iyinhlangano yezinkampani ezihlonishwayo emhlabeni wonke ezihlangana ndawonye ukuze zenze iphrojekthi eyingqayizivele eTanzania yokuheha izivakashi ezingu-177,000 ngonyaka. Ngokuhambisana nemali ehlongozwayo yokungena engu-$141 umuntu ngamunye, umfelandawonye uzokhiqiza imali elinganiselwa ku-$25 million ngonyaka. Imininingwane iqhubeka ikhombisa ukuthi inkampani ihlela ukwenza inzuzo eyizigidi eziyi-9.8 ngonyaka wokuqala wokusebenza futhi ikhokhele intela yebhizinisi efinyelela ku-$1.8 million ku-Tanzania Revenue Authority.

Ekuqaleni, uhulumeni wathi le moto yekhebula yenzelwe abantu abakhubazekile kanye nabavakashi asebekhulile abafisa ukuzwa injabulo yokuqwala iNtaba iKilimanjaro ikhuphuke ifike eShira Plateau ngaphandle kokufuna ukuhlangana, kodwa manje i-AVAN Kilimanjaro ithi ubuchwepheshe buzobhekelela izivakashi zazo zonke izindawo. .

Ababambe iqhaza embonini yezokuvakasha - ikakhulukazi abaqhubi bezokuvakasha, abaqondisi, kanye nabathwali bezimpahla - abahlangane eGran Melia Hotel e-Arusha ukuze baveze imibono yabo mayelana nomsebenzi ohlongozwayo phambi koMkhandlu Kazwelonke Wokulawulwa Kwemvelo (NEMC) ngoMsombuluko zingama-14 kuNhlolanja wezi-2022, ababephikisana ngokuphelele futhi babhoboke izimbobo. ohlelweni.

Usihlalo weTanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) enamalungu angu-300, uMnu. Wilbard Chambulo, uthe lo msebenzi wezimoto zamakhebula ubukeka uyiphupho nje, njengoba kungenzeki ukuthi ibhizinisi lenze inzuzo ngonyaka wokuqala. . “Angikaze ngizwe kuthiwa kukhona inkampani eMhlabeni eyenza inzuzo ngonyaka wokuqala iqalile. Sengibe sebhizinisini lezokuvakasha cishe amashumi amathathu eminyaka; kuwukuhweba okuguquguqukayo. Inkampani le ayikwazi ukwenza inzuzo eyizigidi ezilitshumi zamadola ngomnyaka ofanayo njengoba itshela uhulumende,” kutsho uMnu Chambulo.

Umphathi we-TATO ukhathazekile ngemoto yekhebula ethinta kabi imali engenayo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Lokhu kuzodala ukuthi isevisi yehliswe kakhulu ngobude bokuhlala behla ukusuka ezinsukwini eziyi-8 kuye osukwini olulodwa. Bathi izinzuzo zemoto yamakhebula zincane kakhulu ukwedlula umonakalo oseduze wemvelo, ukuqashwa kwezinkulungwane zabathwali abangenamakhono, kanye nemiphumela yokuphindaphinda kwezomnotho.  

“Imoto yamakhebula izoguqula uhambo olumangalisayo lwezinsuku eziyisi-6 lokuhamba ngezinyawo ophahleni lwase-Afrika olunemiphumela emihle yezomnotho ephindaphindekayo kubantu bendawo lube uhambo nje lwabahambi basemini,” kusho uNksz. Zainab Ansell, umnikazi we-Zara Tours. Ehlanganyela nesipiliyoni sakhe seminyaka engu-36 ngebhizinisi lakhe lokuqwala izintaba eMount Kilimanjaro, uNksz Zainab uthe wayekhokha u-$890 ngesivakashi esisodwa esiya eKilimanjaro National Park (KINAPA), ingasaphathwa yenzuzo namaholo akhe abaqondisi bezintaba nabathwali bempahla nabahlinzeki bempahla.

Ngokuthambekela kwamanje lapho iNtaba iKilimanjaro ithola abaqwali abangu-56,000 ngonyaka, kusho ukuthi i-KINAPA ihola cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-50 - okuyinani eliphindwe kabili lemali okulindeleke kuphrojekthi yemoto yamakhebula ngenani eliphindwe kathathu lezivakashi. Futhi, imiphumela yomnotho ephindaphindayo yebhizinisi lokuqwala izintaba ikude nephrojekthi yemoto yamakhebula, njengoba isivakashi sizokhokha u-$141 futhi cishe abantu abambalwa bazosebenzisa uhlelo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi imoto yamakhebula elindele ukuheha abaqwali abangu-177,000 ngonyaka, izokwenqabela ukuqashwa kwabathwali bempahla abangu-2,655,000, uma isilinganiso sabathwali abangu-15 esivakashi siyinto edlula.

IMount Kilimanjaro Porters Society (MKPS) iwuphikisa ngokuphelele umkhiqizo we-cable car, ithi izokwenqabela ukuqashwa kwabathwali abangenamakhono abacela ku-250,000 abanyusa iMount Kilimanjaro ukuze bathole amaholo unyaka nonyaka. “Njengoba inkonzo yemoto yamakhebula ingadingi abathwali, iningi labavakashi lizoqwala iNtaba iKilimanjaro ngosuku lohambo lisebenzisa umkhiqizo omusha ukunciphisa izindleko kanye nobude besikhathi sokuhlala,” kuchaza iPhini likaSihlalo we-MKPS u-Edson Mpemba.

UMpemba uzibuze ukuthi abathatha izinqumo bashaye indiva inqwaba yabasebenzi abangenawo amakhono, okuncike ekutheni intaba iziphilise. "Cabanga ngomphumela omubi emindenini yabathwali abangenamakhono abangu-250,000," egcizelela, exwayisa, "Indawo yemoto yamakhebula ekuqaleni izobukeka njengombono omuhle nomusha, kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izomosha ikusasa leningi. yabantu bendawo abaziphilisa ngayo entabeni.”

U-Loishiye Mollel, inhloko ye-Tanzania Porters' Organisation (TPO) uthe: “Isivakashi esisodwa esivela e-US singaba nabantu abangaphezu kuka-15 ngemuva kwaso, abangu-13 kubo abangabathwali bempahla, abapheki kanye nomhlahlandlela. Yonke le misebenzi izothintwa imoto yamakhebula. Thina sinombono wokuthi intaba mayiyekwe injengoba injalo.” Ummeli Wenkantolo Ephakeme YaseTanzania, u-Engelberth Boniphace, wagcizelela, “Ukwephuca abathwali imali yokuziphilisa kusho ukubaphuca amalungelo okuphila.”

UBeatrice Mchome, ovela eCrescent Environmental Management Consult, oqashwe yi-AVAN Kilimanjaro Ltd. ukuthi enze i-Environmental and Social Impact Assessment uthe imoto yamakhebula “izogudluzwa emzileni waseMachame lapho umqansa uzoqala futhi uphele khona. Umzila we-Machame - owaziwa nangokuthi u-Whisky Route - kubikwa ukuthi udumile ngoba unikeza umqansa omuhle, kodwa futhi "unzima, umqansa, futhi unenselele."

Umqondisi wodumo wasezintabeni uVictor Manyanga unanela ukwesaba kwakhe wathi:

Umkhiqizo wemoto yekhebula elikhazimulayo uzongqubuzana nenqubomgomo yezwe yokonga.

Kunalokho izokhuthaza ezokuvakasha ngobuningi futhi ibe usongo olukhulu emvelweni weNtaba iKilimanjaro. “Imoto yamakhebula izofakwa eduze kweMachame Route, ephindaphindeka njengomzila ongenakushintshwa wezinyoni. Ngikhathazeke kakhulu ngezintambo zikagesi eziphazamisa kakhulu ukufuduka kwezinyoni,” kusho uManyanga.

Owayeyisisebenzi sikahulumeni eMnyangweni Wezemvelo Nezokuvakasha, uMerwyn Nunes, uzwakalise ukuphikisa kwakhe i-cable car, ethi iNtaba iKilimanjaro iyindawo engcwele okungafanele yaziswe lutho.
