Izikhulu zokuzingela izivakashi eTanzania zifuna izingxoxo ezintsha nohulumeni mayelana namazwi akamuva kaNgqongqoshe Wezemvelo Nezokuvakasha osola izinkampani zabo ngokubulala izilwane zasendle ngokungafanele.
Ungqongqoshe obhekele ukongiwa kwemvelo nokuvikela izilwane zasendle kanye nemvelo, uDkt. Hamis Kigwangala, ubalule izinkampani ezine eziqavile zokuzingela i-safari ezisebenza eTanzania athe zenza izinhlelo eziyimfihlo zokuzingela izilwane ngaphandle kwezimvume.
Kodwa izinkampani - ezibonakala zinomthelela omkhulu kwezombusazwe eTanzania - kuze kube manje zikuphikile okushiwo ungqongqoshe, zithi ziyizakhamuzi ezinhle zamabhizinisi eTanzania, zifaka imali elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-US30 ngonyaka ekuzingeleni.
Imibiko efihlekile yemithombo yezindaba eminingana eTanzania iveze imfihlo enkulu kanye nama-syndicates ngaphakathi kwebhizinisi le-safari yokuzingela uma kuqhathaniswa ne-photographic safaris eheha izivakashi eziningi.
Abasebenza ngokuzingela i-safari baziwa ngokubulala izilwane ezingashiwongo kuzimvume zabo zokuzingela, kuyilapho ezinye izigameko zibandakanya abazingeli be-safari abadubula ngesihluku izilwane zasendle ngezibhamu ezimbalwa.
Eminye imibiko ixhumanise izikhulu ezivela ophikweni lwezilwane zasendle ukuze zisebenzisane nabazingeli ukuxosha izilwane zasendle besebenzisa izimoto ezinamalambu agcwele, okuphambene nemithetho yokuzingela.
Okungagqami kakhulu kune-photographic safaris, ukuzingela i-tourism safari kuxhunyaniswe nezenzo zokuzingela ngokungemthetho ezihlanganiswa ngokujova izizumbulu zemali ezikhulwini zikahulumeni eziphethe imisebenzi yokuzingela.
Ababambiqhaza kwezokongiwa kwezilwane zasendle babheke ukubona ukuthi uhulumeni waseTanzania ubeka umthetho wokuvinjelwa ngokuphelele kokuzingela izivakashi njengesixazululo saphakade sokusindisa izilwane zasendle zase-Afrika.
Umkhankasi ohamba phambili wokuvikela imvelo nosomabhizinisi eTanzania, uMnu. Reginald Mengi, uthe eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ukuzingela ngokungemthetho kwezilwane zasendle - ikakhulukazi izindlovu zase-Afrika - kuzophela lapho uhulumeni waseTanzania uvala ngokuphelele ukuzingela izindondo.
Uthe ukuvinjelwa ngokuphelele kokuzingela kwezivakashi imikhiqizo yezindlovu kuzosiza ekunciphiseni ukuzingela ngokungemthetho kwe-jumbos yase-Afrika.
UMnu. Mengi uthe engqungqutheleni yezokongiwa kwemvelo edlule ukuthi ukuzingela kwezivakashi izindondo zezindlovu eTanzania konakaliswe ingxenye yezinkampani zokuzingela ngokubulala ama-jumbo ezindaweni ezivulekile ngaphandle kwamapaki ezilwane zasendle avikelekile.
Ukuzingela ngokungemthetho kuye kwanda ngezinga elishaqisayo e-Afrika phakathi neminyaka engu-20 edlule, okusongela ukushabalala kwama-jumbo ase-Afrika.
Izindlovu zaseTanzania zehle zisuka ku-109,000 ngo-2009 zaya esilinganisweni samanje sezindlovu ezingaphansi kuka-70,000 eminyakeni yamuva nje.
Kwesinye isigameko, uNgqongqoshe wezeMvelo usole amaphoyisa aseTanzania “ngokwenza izinto ngendlela engafanele” nokuhluleka ukubopha abasolwa abaqavile ekubulaweni komlondolozi wezilwane zasendle owaziwayo waseNingizimu Afrika, uWayne Lotter, ngonyaka odlule.
Uthe amaphoyisa analo ulwazi “kodwa ahlulekile ukuthatha izinyathelo” kulabo abahlela ukubulawa kukaMnu.
ULotter, owakha amasu okubamba abazingeli bezindlovu ngokungemthetho nabashushumbisa amazinyo endlovu, wadutshulwa wabulawa eDar es Salaam maphakathi no-Agasti wangonyaka odlule.
Umlondolozi wezilwane zasendle owaziwayo owazalelwa eNingizimu Afrika osebenza eTanzania, wabulawa eTanzania esendleleni esuka esikhumulweni sezindiza iJulius Nyerere International Airport eya ehhotela lakhe eDar es Salaam.
UWayne Lotter, 51, udutshulwe ngesikhathi itekisi yakhe imiswa enye imoto lapho amadoda amabili, eyodwa ehlome ngesibhamu, evule isicabha semoto yakhe amdubula.
Ngaphambi kokushona kwakhe kungalindelekile, uWayne Lotter wayethole izinsongo eziningi zokubulawa ngesikhathi elwa nezinhlangano zomhlaba wonke zokushushumbisa amazinyo endlovu eTanzania lapho sekubulawe khona izindlovu ezingaphezu kuka-66,000 phakathi neminyaka eyi-10 edlule.
UWayne wayengumqondisi kanye nomsunguli we-Protected Area Management System (PAMS) Foundation, Inhlangano Okungeyona Ekahulumeni (NGO) ehlinzeka ngokusekela ngokongiwa kwemvelo nokulwa nokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho emiphakathini nakuhulumeni e-Afrika yonkana.
Selokhu aqala le nhlangano eTanzania emuva ngo-2009, uWayne usethole izinsongo eziningi zokubulawa.
Imibiko engaqinisekisiwe ithi uMnu. Wayne waba yisisulu salabo ababengaba abazingeli be-safari ababephikisana nokuzibophezela kwakhe ukusekela uhulumeni waseTanzania ngokongiwa kwezilwane zasendle.
