Njengoba izivakashi zikhansela iholide lazo futhi zihamba ngobuningi bezwe, isivakashi esisodwa saseBrithani esiqinile sasiqhutshwa ngamasondo siyiswa endaweni yokungcebeleka eSouth Coast ukuze siqedele ingxenye yesibili yeholide laso lezinyanga ezine.
Abezokuvakasha bathi balahlekelwe yimali efika ku-R5.7 billion ngenxa yokuhoxiswa okudalwe wudlame lwezepolitiki.
Kudingeka isikhathi esiningi nomzamo ukulungisa umonakalo osembonini yezokuvakasha nomnotho kulandela udlame.
Futhi umzamo onjalo uzodinga izivakashi ezinjengoKenny Tibber.
Ngisho nodlame alukwazanga ukuphazamisa uhambo oluyigugu lokuvakashela ogwini lowesilisa oseneminyaka engu-35 evakashele eKenya.
Qedela iholide
Lapho sitholana noMnu. Tibber e-Leisure Lodge Beach naseGolf Resort ngemva kosuku engenile, wajabula ngokuthi naphezu kwezingxabano, uzoqhubeka aqedele iholide lakhe.
“Leli yizwe elihle kunawo wonke emhlabeni,” kusho umthengisi osethathe umhlalaphansi oneminyaka engu-66 ubudala, njengoba esizwa ngesihlalo sakhe esinamasondo esinenjini ukuthi alale embhedeni ogwini lolwandle.
Amehlo kaMnu Tibber asuka ogwini olunesihlabathi ahlanzekile aye olwandle olungapheli olungaphambili. Kusobala ukuthi uyazithokozisa.
UmBrithane uchitha ingxenye yokuqala yeholide lakhe e-Nyali Beach Hotel. Uthando lwakhe ngezwe izivakashi eziye zalichaza ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene ngokuthi “izulu lasemhlabeni” noma “ipharadesi” nje - abanye bekhetha ukuchitha ukuphila kwabo konke lapha - alunakulinganiswa futhi alunakuqedwa ngisho nobudlova bezombangazwe.
Uthi walithanda izwe ohambweni lwakhe lokuqala ngo-1972 futhi akacabangi ukuthi uzochitha iholide lakhe kwenye indawo: umndeni wakhe uhlale ulangazelela uhambo.
Uma ulalela uMnu Tibber ekhuluma, umuntu uthola ukuqonda ukuthi kungani ezifela ngeKenya. Uzenzele abangani abahle kakhulu eminyakeni edlule futhi lapho ephula isiko lakhe eholidini ezweni eminyakeni engu-13 edlule, abangani bakhe bamkhuthaza.
Ngaleso sikhathi wayekhubazekile emilenzeni okwaze kwamenza wahamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile. Phakathi neminyaka emibili ephuzile, akazange eze eholidini futhi akakwazanga ukulinda ukuvakasha kwakhe okulandelayo ngo-1996.
Ngenxa yesimo sakhe sempilo, uMnu Tibber wenze izinhlelo neNyali Beach Hotel, eyamakhela ikamelo elikhethekile. Futhi lapho efika, injabulo yabangane nezisebenzi zasehhotela kwakuwubufakazi bokuthi wayephuthelwe. Unkosikazi wakhe, uCarole, ulithanda kakhulu izwe lapho echitha khona iholide minyaka yonke.
Uchaza udlame lokhetho njengehlazo.
"Siyazi ukuthi izwe linokuthula nentando yeningi futhi asikholwa ukuthi kwenzeka eKenya."
Uphawula ukuthi abangani bakhe base-UK nakwamanye amazwe aphesheya bakhathazeke ngokulinganayo. “Bebelokhu besifonela befuna ukwazi ukuthi isimo sinjani ukuze beze bezojabulela amaholide.”
Kunzima ukusinda
Ngokubona ukuthi kunezinye izindawo abantu abangakhetha kuzo uma ukuthula kungabuyi, uthi nokho abantu bamaholide bazokhululeka ezweni ngenxa yothando lwabo ngalo.
“Uma imboni yezokuvakasha yehla, ngabantu baseKenya abalungile abazozwa ingcosana ngoba kuzoncishiswa kakhulu imisebenzi,” kusho uMnu Tibber.
“AbaseKenya bazokuthola kunzima ukuphila. Imindeni kanye nabanye abantu abathembele kwezokuvakasha bazohlupheka kanti nezinga lobugebengu lingase lenyuke,” uyanezela.
UMnu Tibber, obukeka ejwayelene nepolitiki yakuleli, unxusa osopolitiki ukuthi bayixazulule le nkinga. “Ngiyazi ukuthi uMengameli uKibaki wangena esivumelwaneni noRaila Odinga ngemuva kokhetho lwango-2002 angazange asihloniphe,” usho kanje.
Ukholelwa ukuthi ukhetho lwangoDisemba lwalunamaphutha, ngokusekelwe emibikweni yezingqapheli ze-European Union, futhi uluchaza njengegalelo elibi embusweni wentando yeningi e-Afrika.
Uphakamisa ukuthi iKhomishini yoKhetho yaseKenya isebenzise uhlelo lokuvota ngekhompyutha ukuze abantu baseKenya bavote noma kuphi lapho bekhona.
Nakuba amakhulu ezivakashi akhishiwe ukuze aphephe futhi amazwe athile akhiphe izeluleko zokuvakasha ngokumelene neKenya, ukuheheka kwamabhishi anesihlabathi nobuhle bamapaki kuzidlula kude izingozi zokuphepha zezivakashi eziningi.
Ukuhamba ngezinyawo ogwini kukhombisa ukuthi iningi lezivakashi selihambile kuleli, kodwa labo abasajabulela amaholide abo abacabangi ukuthi kunengozi ezimpilweni zabo.
Nokho, ukukhathazeka kwabo okuyinhloko ukuntuleka komshuwalense womuntu siqu, onqatshelwayo noma nini lapho umuntu eya ezindaweni eziyingozi.
“Kunokuphepha okukhulu emahhotela futhi ngikholelwa ukuthi akukho usongo lwezokuphepha,” kusho isivakashi saseSwitzerland esijabulela ukuvakasha emabhishi.
UMnu Dieter Filitz, waseJalimane oseke wavakashela leli lizwe izikhathi ezingu-16 kusukela ngo-1995, uthi kuyadabukisa ukubona izivakashi zihamba.
Uthi: “Kodwa angizizwa ngisongelwa ngokulondeka, futhi ngizohlala kuze kuphele iholidi lami.
“Kodwa-ke, ukubona esikubone kumabonakude nokufunda namaphephandaba, kuyethusa.”
Kodwa ezinye izivakashi azijabuli ngokukhulunywa kabi emithonjeni yezindaba yamazwe ngamazwe futhi zithi nakuba kunokungavikeleki, kufanele kugqanyiswe iqiniso lokuthi ezinye izihambeli zahlala.
