Cishe izinkampani ezingama-40 zokuvakasha eTanzania zihlela ukuhudula iNgorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) ngaphambi kwenkantolo yomthetho okusolwa ukuthi yehlisa isithunzi.
Emasontweni amabili edlule, itabloid lendawo leSwahili laphatha udaba oluthi umqulu we-NCAA oqukethe uhlu lwamahloni ezinkampani ezingama-35 okusolwa ukuthi zazisenkabeni yenkohliso enkulu.
Izinkampani ezisohlwini lwezokuvakasha seziyaziphika lezi zinsolo, zikhala nge-NCAA ibalahla ngokungazwakali futhi ipenda isithombe phambi kwamehlo amaklayenti abo asekhaya nawamazwe ukuthi wonke la mafemu ashiwo awathembekile.
Bafuna ukuthi i-NCAA kumele ixolise ngokubhala izincwadi, abezindaba bakuleli nabakwamanye amazwe, futhi ibakhokhele izindleko zokungcoliswa kwezithombe zabo emphakathini nakumakhasimende abo noma babhekane nengalo yomthetho yokwehlisa isithunzi.
Abaqhubi bezokuvakasha bafuna nokuthi i-NCAA ibathumelele izizathu zezimangalo zayo kanye nezitatimende namabhalansi wemali yabo efakwe kuma-akhawunti ohlelo lokukhokha oluvinjelwe lwegunya.
Izinkampani ezimbili zezinkampani ezihambela izisulu - iCorto safari neDuma Explorer - ziyavuma ukuthola ama-invoice avela kwa-NCAA afuna u- $ 10 no- $ 100 nje, ngenhlonipho, ngaphandle kokuthethelela isimangalo.
“Selokhu sayikhokha ukugwema uhlupho, kodwa ngombandela wokuthi sithole ubufakazi ngalezi zinsolo zokukhwabanisa. Ngemuva kwamasonto amabili sishaqekile, sabona inkampani yethu kwabezindaba ”kusho umqondisi weCorto Safaris uNks Hellen Mchaki.
Uyachaza ukuthi i-NCAA isebenzele inkampani yakhe ngenothi maphakathi noDisemba 2017 ifuna imali engu- $ 10 ekhokhweni elisalele lekhadi ngo-2015.
I-NCAA yethule uhlelo lokukhokha lwe-elekthronikhi oluphelele ngamakhadi okukhokha ngonyaka we-2011 ukunciphisa abadobi bezokuvakasha ababhekene nabo ekuphatheni isamba semali enzima kanye nabo nokonga isikhathi esiyigugu sabavakashi nasemasangweni okungena.
Yize kunjalo, abaqhubi bezokuvakasha babebambe izimbobo ohlelweni lokukhokha ngogesi lwe-NCAA bethi ayinakho ukwenza izinto obala; izipele nokuthi bekudla isikhathi esingenasidingo, njengoba kungabaphathi kuphela abebesilawula futhi besisebenzisa.
Baphikisana, ngokwesibonelo, ukuthi imishini ye-NCAA ayizange ikhiqize izitatimende zebhalansi zabasebenzisi zokuyithola ku-inthanethi nokuthi babengenayo inombolo ye-hotline uma kwenzeka kukhona okungahambi kahle.
Ukuntuleka kwezinye izindlela zabasebenza ukuvakasha ukuthi bakhokhe imali yokungena uma kwenzeka ikhadi le-NCAA lilahleka noma imishini ingakwazi ukulayisha imali eyanele yenze igunya liguqule uhlelo.
"Njengoba i-NCAA ibilawula ubufakazi obugcwele bohlelo lokukhokha ngogesi, umuntu uyazibuza ukuthi abaqhubi bezokuvakasha bangayithukuthelisa kanjani," kubuza uNksz Mchaki, ekhala:
"Akulungile futhi akunangqondo ukujezisa inkampani ngemali engafanele engu- $ 10, kuyilapho isiphathimandla sigcina izigidi zemali yaso kuma-akhawunti afriziwe wesikhwama saso."
Le nkampani ithi iNCAA ayenzanga mizamo yokuguqula imali isuke kuma-akhawunti afriziwe iye ezinkampanini ezifanele. Ibibonisa imibhalo yokukhokha kanye nezincwadi eziphathelene nodaba.
Ama-akhawunti e-NCAA afriziwe emuva ngonyaka we-2015 okusolwa ukuthi abangaphandle bavutha ngohlelo lokukhokha ngogesi.
Ifemu ikhumbula ukuthi ibhalansi engu- $ 2,225.70 ne-Sh2, 095,520 kuma-akhawunti esikhwama se-NCAA ngesikhathi uhlelo lokukhokha ngogesi lususiwe.
UMqondisi weDuma Explorer, uMnu Hezron Mbise, ubhalise ukudumala kwakhe ngendlela onobhala besango be-NCAA abaphathe kabi amakhasimende akhe ngokubenqabela ukungena ngenxa yezimangalo ezingekho emthethweni ze- $ 100.
“Cabanga ukuthi izivakashi bezingavunyelwa ukungena emgodini waseNgorongoro futhi imizamo yomunye womshayeli wami yokuthola izizathu ibonakale iyize. Lokhu akusizi ngalutho, ”kuphawula uMnu Mbise, egcizelela ukuthi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva waqala ukuthola ama-imeyili amaningi avela kuma-ejenti akhe ebuza ngalolu daba.
Kodwa-ke, i-NCAA ivume ubunikazi bememo yangaphakathi yobudedengu futhi yaxolisa kulabo abahlukumezekile ngokulahleka abakubalayo.
Ukuxolisa kuza nje ngesikhathi abanye babaqhubi abathukuthele bengama-35 bekhala ngokummangalela i-NCAA ngezinsolo zokunyundelwa.
"Yize singazange sishicilele izinkampani ezibhalisiwe futhi asizange sifinyelele esinqumweni sokunqabela noma iyiphi yazo ukuthi ihambise izivakashi eNgorongoro Crater, siyaxolisa ngokuvuza kwememo yangaphakathi," iSekela le-Chief Conservator - leCorporate Services le-NCAA, uMnu Asangye Bangu , uthi.
Ngabe ukuxolisa kwe-NCAA kuzoqinisekisa izinkampani zabavakashi ezithintekayo ukuthi zihoxise isinqumo sazo sokuya enkantolo, kusazobonakala.
"Sibheka ukuhlakanipha komuntu ngamunye kulabo abathintekayo," kusho uMnu Bangu etshela izintatheli ngemuva nje komhlangano nabanye babavakashi e-Arusha.
“Njengoba nje abanikazi bezokuvakasha benikela cishe ngamaphesenti angama-98 amarisidi wethu waminyaka yonke, umonakalo odalekile kubo nawo uzosithinta,” kuphawula yena.
Ngokusobala abaphathi be-NCAA bebekhuluma ngezinyathelo okufanele bazithathele labo basebenzi bezokuvakasha abangama-35 ebasola ngokubacasula ngohlelo lwayo lokukhokha olungasebenzi oludalekile nokudala ukulahlekelwa kwezezimali kuziphathimandla ngaphambi kokuba abezindaba bavimbe ukuxhumana kwangaphakathi.
“Anginaso isibalo sokulahleka ezandleni zami,” kusho uMnu Bangu, egcizelela ukuthi konke obekufunwa yi-NCAA manje ukwenza ukulungisa nezingxenye ezithintekile ngenxa yombhalo oshicilelwe.
I-tabloid ye-Kiswahili ishicilele udaba cishe emasontweni amathathu edlule luveza isiphakamiso sememo yangaphakathi ye-NCAA sokunqabela izinkampani zabavakashi ezingama-35 ukuthi zithathe izivakashi endaweni yayo.
Imemo yangaphakathi ifaka ukuthi amafemu athukuthele ngohlelo lokukhokha ngogesi, ephoqa igunya ukuthi liyilahle ngonyaka we-2015.
Abanye babavakashi bakhala ngaphansi, bekhomba i-NCAA kanye nephephandaba ngomunwe wokulimaza ngokonakalisa idumela labo emphakathini, kodwa okubi kakhulu, emehlweni amakhasimende abo ahlonishwayo aphethe.
Ngasohlangothini lwakhe, isikhulu esiphezulu seTanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO), uMnu Sirili Akko, uthe wenza yonke imizamo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi amaqembu aphikisayo ayahlangana futhi alungise ukungezwani kwawo ngokuthula.
