Ngalobu busuku bangoMgqibelo odlule, ngihambe kuKalakaua Avenue eduze kwaseHyatt Regency, futhi ngazithela phezu kwensizwa ilele eceleni komgwaqo kumatilasi owakhiwe ngekhadibhodi, inombhalo othi: “Umakadebona - uzosebenzela ukudla.” Ngabona abavakashi abaningi bamazwe ngamazwe bethatha izithombe zakhe futhi bethatha lo mlayezo wokungabi namakhaya, kanye nabampofu nabaswele abahlala emigwaqweni yaseWaikiki, bebuyela kubantu bezwe labo.

Yize singakwazi ukubeka inombolo yokuthi bangaki abangenamakhaya abahlala e-Waikiki, kwanele ukuthi isivakashi esivela eCalifornia siphawule ngesikhathi sesigameko sangaphambilini, “Kuyamangaza ukuthi bangaki. Ngicabanga ukuthi ninenkinga bafo.”

Inkinga e-Waikiki yayisezingeni elisobala nakakhulu eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lapho abangenamakhaya sebethathe ngokuphelele amatafula amboziwe namabhentshi aphambi kwe-Waikiki Beach lapho kudlalwa khona imibukiso ye-Hula yangoLwesihlanu eduze. Ngaleso sikhathi, ngisho “nomuntu wendawo” wayezizwa engakhululekile uma abantu abangenamakhaya bebuka abadlula ngendlela ngokungena endaweni yabo. Futhi lokhu akusho lutho ngephunga elibi elaliphuma endaweni njengoba amabala athile ayelokhu esetshenziswa njengendawo yokuchama. Kodwa kwabe sekufika uhlelo lokuhlobisa i-Kuhio Avenue olubiza izigidi zamadola, olwaqedwa ekupheleni kuka-2004, futhi ukuze kuqhutshekwe nesivinini, abangenamakhaya basuswa “emadolobhaneni” amancane ababewadale ngaseKalakaua. Namuhla, i-Waikiki Aloha Patrol, an Aloha Iphrojekthi yevolontiya ye-United Way, igcina indawo ilawulwa kangcono.

Emuva ngoFebhuwari walo nyaka, ikomiti lezomthetho lahlangana ukuze lidingide ngomthelela wokungabi namakhaya embonini yezokuvakasha yaseHawaii. Usihlalo we-House Tourism uphinde waphusha futhi ukuthi kusungulwe Izindawo Eziphephile, lapho abangenamakhaya bengakwazi ukumisa amatende kude nezindawo zabavakashi njenge-Waikiki ne-Ala Moana. I-State Homeless Coordinate, uMarc Alexander, uthe emhlanganweni uMbusi u-Abercrombie ufuna ukuqeda ukungabi namakhaya, wathi, "Ufuna kwenziwe ngendlela ehlonipha isithunzi somuntu ngamunye futhi evumela izakhamizi zethu ukuthi zibambe iqhaza ngokugcwele, zithole konke. umphakathi obambe iqhaza kulokhu.”

UMongameli Wenhlangano Yezokuvakasha YaseHawaii uJuergen T. Steinmetz uvuma ngenhliziyo yonke ukuthi le nkinga kufanele ixazululwe ngempumelelo kokubili ngokombono wezokuvakasha kanye nesidingo sesixazululo esinobuntu ngokwengeziwe senkinga yomuntu. Wethula isixazululo ehhovisi loMbusi, ngokusekelwe endleleni yaseJalimane. USteinmetz uthe, "Siyaqaphela ukuthi lesi akusona isixazululo esiphelele, kodwa kungaba isiqalo esiqonde ngqo."

IGermany ibhekane nenkinga yokuntuleka kwemisebenzi kanye nenkinga yokungabi nakhaya ngaphansi komqondo wabo odumile othi “1 Euro.” USteinmetz wathatha indlela yaseJalimane futhi wengeza umbono wakhe wokuthi lolu hlelo lungasebenza kanjani eHawaii. Nakhu aqhamuke nakho esihlakalweni sakhe esethulwe:

E-Germany, lolu hlelo luhlinzeka ngemisebenzi ye-euro ngehora (US$1.45/ihora) eyadalelwa labo abafuna izinzuzo zomphakathi zokungasebenzi, okungaphezu kwezimali nezinzuzo asebevele bezithola. Ukwengeza, imali etholwa ngale misebenzi ayikhokhiswa intela. Lokhu kunikeza abantu abangasebenzi ithuba lokuphinde babambe iqhaza empilweni yokusebenza, ngenhloso eshiwo ukuthi bathole indlela yokuthola ukuqashwa ngokugcwele ngalo msebenzi.

Ukuze kuvinjwe imisebenzi evamile ukuba ingacekelwa phansi yile misebenzi eshibhile, imisebenzi ye-Euro eyodwa ingase ingangeni esikhundleni senkontileka yokuqashwa esesimisiwe kodwa kufanele ibe nezithakazelo zomphakathi, ingathathi hlangothi emqhudelwaneni, futhi ibe nenjongo ngokuphathelene nemakethe yemisebenzi. Umsebenzi wokupha kanye nemisebenzi yesikhashana yikhona okube nomphumela, okuhlanganisa ukunakekela amapaki, izindawo ezingomakhelwane, intsha kanye nabantu abadala. Abahlinzeki bemisebenzi enjalo amadolobha/amadolobhana, omasipala noma izikhungo zikahulumeni, kanye namabhizinisi akhethiwe ezinkampani ezizimele.

Lapha, uMnu. Steinmetz unikeza isifinyezo “soHlelo Lokuqashwa Kwethuba Lesibili” kwabangenamakhaya baseHawaii.

Injongo:

• Kufanele ikhuthaze umuntu ukuba aphinde aqale umkhuba ovamile wesonto lonke (ukuvuka, ukuya emsebenzini, ukuya ekhaya).
• Kufanele kwenze kube lula ukubuyela emsebenzini ojwayelekile.
• Usungula irekhodi lokuqashwa.
• Isusa abantu abangaphansi kwalolu hlelo kuzibalo zesimo sokungasebenzi.

Lolu hlelo kufanele lwenziwe lutholakale ku:
• Izakhamizi zase-US kanye nezakhamuzi ezisemthethweni ezihlala ngokugcwele ezihlala e-Hawaii isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka owodwa.
• Abantu kumele bakwazi ukusebenza. Imisebenzi yamathuba alinganayo ngaphansi kwe-Hawaii kanye nemihlahlandlela ye-Federal.
• Lolu hlelo kufanele lutholakale kubantu abakhululwe ekuboshweni kanye nabantu abanamarekhodi obugebengu. Izinkampani ezizimele kufanele zaziswe ngerekhodi elinjalo, futhi zivunyelwe ukuthi zingaqashi abantu abanerekhodi lobugebengu. Umkhakha womphakathi kufanele ubeke izidingo eziqinile kancane.
• Ukungasebenzi isikhathi esingaphezu kwesikhathi esithile, ikakhulukazi abantu abangenamakhaya abangasebenzi.
• Kumele agcine irekhodi elihlanzekile ngesikhathi sokuqashwa ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo.
• Kumele agcine izinga lokuzilungisa eliqinile uma eqashwe ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo.
• Akukho ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa noma utshwala uma kuqashwe ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo.
• Kufanele agcine ukuqashwa okungenani izinyanga eziyisi-6 futhi enerekhodi elihlanzekile ukuze avunyelwe ukuqhubeka isikhathi sesibili esiyizinyanga eziyisi-6, ngaphandle uma amathuba emisebenzi evamile evuleka.
• Ukuqashwa okuphezulu amahora angama-30 ukuvumela isikhathi sokufaka isicelo somsebenzi ngokugcwele.

Imbuyiselo ngaphezu komshwalense ovamile wokungasebenzi, izitembu zokudla, noma ezinye izinzuzo zomphakathi ngokuvamile ezitholakala kubantu abanjalo:

• 1 USD ngehora ezinyangeni ezi-3 zokuqala.
• 2 USD ngehora ezinyangeni ezi-3 zesibili.
• 3 USD ngehora ezinyangeni eziyisi-6 ezizayo.
• 5 USD ngehora ezinye izinyanga eziyi-12 ngaphansi kwezimo ezithile (abantu abangeke bafanelekele ukuthola umsebenzi ojwayelekile naphezu kokuzama).

• Umshwalense wezempilo, imali yabasebenzi ekhokhelwa ingxenye yalabo abaqashayo kanye noHulumeni.

Izinzuzo zabantu abangaphansi kwalolu hlelo:

• Abantu abangaphansi kwalolu hlelo kufanele bagxume phambi kolayini ukuze bathole izindlu ezihola kancane.
• Abaqashi abazimisele ukuhlinzeka ngezindlu kubantu abangenamakhaya kufanele bathole izinzuzo zoMbuso.
• UMbuso ungase unikeze usizo ngerenti kanye nediphozithi njengemali ebolekiwe yesikhathi eside kubantu abangenamakhaya njengamanje ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo, olufana nemali mboleko yabafundi.
• Abantu abangaphansi kwalolu hlelo abasabalwa njengabangasebenzi (nabangenamakhaya) ezibalweni.
• Abantu bangaba nemali eyengeziwe yokusiza ngokuzijwayeza ukuphila okujwayelekile kanye nezinto zomuntu siqu njengefenisha, izingubo zokugqoka, njll.
• Ithuba elihle lokwelula lolu hlelo futhi ungene esivumelwaneni sokuqashwa esijwayelekile.

Izinzuzo zalabo abasebenzayo:

• Itholakalela umkhakha kahulumeni amaphrojekthi angaqedwanga ngenxa yesabelomali noma izinto ezibalulekile ezibalulekile. Kungabandakanya noma yini kusukela ekuhlanzweni kwamabhishi, uhlelo lwamanxusa ezokuvakasha, ama-operators angu-211, izinhlelo zokufundisa, ukunakekelwa kwabadala noma abakhubazekile, ithimba lezokwakha amaphrojekthi angazange athole isabelomali sokuphothula.
• Itholakala ezinkampanini ezizimele ngaphansi kweziqu ezithile: 1) Irekhodi elihlanzekile mayelana nokuqasha abantu; 2) Inkampani ngeke kudingeke ukuthi iqede imisebenzi ukuze iqashe abantu ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo; 3) Amabhizinisi okuqala, izinsizakalo zezenhlalakahle (izibhedlela, amakhaya abantu abadala, imisebenzi yezandla, njll).
• Ithuba elithengekayo lokukhulisa ibhizinisi nokusungula imisebenzi emisha kancane kancane.

Ukukhathazeka kanye neziphakamiso ezengeziwe:

• Izinkampani kufanele zithole ukukhuthazwa ukunikeza umsebenzi unomphela kubantu abangaphansi kwalolu hlelo nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Ngamanye amazwi, inkampani eshintsha umsebenzi ube yinkontileka evamile ngemva kwenyanga engu-1 kufanele ikwazi ukuthola izinzuzo ezithile.
• Injongo kufanele kube ukuthi izinkampani zisebenzise lolu hlelo futhi zidalele lo muntu umsebenzi wesikhathi esigcwele, kamuva nje ngemva kweminyaka emi-2.
• Izinkampani ezizonqamula lowo msebenzi, ngaphandle kwezizathu ezithile (imisebenzi yobugebengu, akukho mbukiso, njll.) akufanele zivunyelwe ukuqasha usizo olwengeziwe ngaphansi kwalolu hlelo.
• Izinkampani kufanele kudingeke ukuthi zihlinzeke ngokuhlolwa kwekota okuzokwabelwana neziNsizakalo Zezenhlalakahle kanye nomuntu oqashiwe. Izinkonzo Zezenhlalakahle kufanele zibe namathuluzi okuklomelisa labo abanamarekhodi akhethekile, futhi zifundise labo abanamarekhodi angemuhle noma zinciphise izinzuzo ezithile.

USteinmetz ukhulume ngombono wakhe kuMbusi wesifunda saseHawaii u-Abercrombie izikhathi ezimbili. Okokuqala wahambisa imibono yakhe kuMbusi u-Abercrombie ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule. Ngokusobala lolu lwazi alufikanga edeskini lakhe. Umbusi wacela enye ikhophi futhi wacela uMarc R. Alexander, uMxhumanisi Wombusi Ophathelene Nokungabi Namakhaya, ukuba atadishe lesi siphakamiso. USteinmetz uxoxe ngohlelo lwakhe noMnu. Alexander emasontweni amabili edlule futhi kusalindelwe enye impendulo.

USteinmetz wengeze ngokuthi uyabona ukuthi lesi akusona isixazululo esizosebenza wonke umuntu ongenakhaya, njengalabo abanenkinga yengqondo kanye nemithi abayinikeziwe, kodwa izosebenza kwabaningi.

eTurboNews wazi ngomholi owake waba sezingeni eliphezulu (igama ligodliwe ukuze libe yimfihlo) weqembu leDemocratic Party osehlala ekomkhulu leqembu ku-Ward Avenue.

Kumuntu ofana nalo, lolu hlelo lungasebenza, futhi uma siphuma emigwaqweni singenamakhaya siphindela emisebenzini, kuyanda imali etholakala kuhulumeni yokusiza labo abadinga usizo olungaphezu kwalokho olunganikezwa yilolu hlelo.

Umgomo we-Hawai`i Tourism Association's (HITA) uwukwazisa, ukufundisa, kanye nokuvuselela imboni yezokuvakasha yomhlaba wonke mayelana nezitayela zamanje nezikhulayo, ezomnotho, imicimbi, imisebenzi, amabhizinisi, nokumaketha okusiza ekulolongeni umbono wezivakashi ngeziQhingi zaseHawaii.

I-HITA isebenza njengenkundla yezingxoxo ezindabeni ezithinta amalungu emboni anentshisekelo yokwenza ibhizinisi e-Hawai`i kuyilapho futhi isebenza nezimakethe ezintsha nezifunda ezibonisa intshisekelo yokuvakashela iziqhingi. Inhlangano inikezela ngezinsizakalo zamalungu ezithuthukisa ukuzizwisa kwe-Hawaii futhi zikhuthaze abantu bomdabu, isiko, nokuhluka okuhlukanisa indawo ekude kakhulu ngokwendawo Emhlabeni kusukela kwezinye izindawo zokuvakasha ze-sand-sun-surf yesiqhingi kanye nezindawo zebhizinisi.

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

The state Homeless Coordinate, Marc Alexander, said at the meeting that Governor Abercrombie wants to eliminate homelessness, stating, “He wants it done in a way that respects the dignity of each human person and allows our citizens to be fully involved, get the whole community involved in this.
While we are unable to put a number on how many homeless are living in Waikiki, it is enough for a visitor from California to have commented during a previous incident, “It’s incredible how many there are.
Steinmetz wholeheartedly agrees that this issue has to be addressed more effectively both from a tourism standpoint and from the need for a more humane solution to a human problem.
