I-Tourism Workers Pension Scheme yakhelwe ukubhekelela bonke abasebenzi abaneminyaka eyi-18-59 emkhakheni wezokuvakasha, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi unomphela, wenkontileka noma abazisebenzayo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa izisebenzi zamahhotela, kanye nabantu abaqashwe ezimbonini ezihlobene njengabathengisi bemisebenzi yezandla, abaqhubi bezokuvakasha, abathwali bezimpahla ezibomvu, abaqhuba izinqola zenkontileka kanye nabasebenzi ezindaweni ezihehayo.

Ekhuluma esigcawini sokuqwashisa abantu eGrand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa izolo, uNgqongqoshe uBartlett uthe, “Lo mthetho oyingqopha-mlando wezenhlalakahle uzoshintsha izinhlelo zokuphepha kwezenhlalakahle zabo bonke abasebenzi emkhakheni abazothola impesheni eqinisekisiwe uma bethatha umhlalaphansi.

Kuyangijabulisa ukuthi ngokwesikhathi esibekiwe sokwenza konke ngendlela, ngoMashi abasebenzi bazokwazi ukubhalisela lolu hlelo futhi baqale ukufaka isandla ekuthatheni kwabo umhlalaphansi.”

ISu manje seliyasebenza futhi liphethwe Ibhodi Labaphathiswa. IBhodi Labaphathiswa njengamanje lisohlelweni lokuphothula izingxoxo zoMphathi Wokutshalwa Kwezimali kanye Nomphathi Wesikhwama ukuze alawule ukusebenza kweSikimu. ISu futhi ayikhokhi intela futhi ilawulwa yiKhomishini Yezinsizakalo Zezezimali.

UMnyango uphezu kwezinhlelo zokuthuthukisa imithethonqubo yalo Mthetho, ophinde uhlinzekele impesheni eyandisiwe. Abahlomuli bempesheni abanyusiwe kuzoba abantu abajoyine iSikimu lapho beneminyaka engu-59 ubudala futhi bebengeke bonge imali eyanele yempesheni. Ngomjovo woMnyango we-$1 Billion ukuze kwengezwe isikhwama, laba bantu bazofaneleka ukuthola impesheni encane.

“Sibone kunesidingo sokuthi kutholwe isixazululo ngalabo basebenzi abebezofaka imali iminyaka emihlanu kuphela kodwa befanelwe yisiqinisekiso sempesheni uma sebethatha umhlalaphansi. Ngakho-ke uma uMphathi Wotshalomali eseqokiwe, u-J$5 million ku-J$250 bhiliyoni emjovweni woMnyango uzokhishwa ukuze kutshalwe imbewu esikhwameni sokuqinisekisa ukuthi laba basebenzi banempesheni,” kwengeza uNgqongqoshe uBartlett.
