JOHANNESBURG — Isibalo sezivakashi ezivakashela eZimbabwe kulo nyaka sesiphindaphindeke ngaphezu kokuthathu, kusho isikhulu sezohwebo ngoMsombuluko ngesikhathi osomabhizinisi bezama ukuyenga abatshalizimali ezweni eliseningizimu ne-Afrika elikhungethwe yizinkinga.
Umongameli weZimbabwe Council of Tourism, u-Emmanuel Fundira, uthe emhlanganweni owenzele amazwe akhelene ne-Afrika, uhulumende womanyano owasungulwa ngoNhlolanja ulethe uzinzo kwezombusazwe lezomnotho. Kodwa ukululama okuphelele kuxhumene kakhulu nempumelelo kahulumeni omusha, abaningi abesaba ukuthi usuzowa.
IZimbabwe inothile wezokumbiwa phansi kanye nezinto ezikhangayo zemvelo futhi yake yaba yisizinda sokudla kulesi sifunda. Abaningi basola ukuwohloka komnotho wayo ngenxa yenqubomgomo kaMengameli uRobert Mugabe yomhlaba lapho kwathathwa khona izinkulungwane zamapulazi aphethwe ngabamhlophe ngo-2000. UMugabe, owabusa kusukela iBrithani yathola inkululeko ngo-1980, naye usolwa ngokubukela phansi intando yeningi.
UMugabe waphoqeleka ukuthi angene kulo mfelandawonye nowayengumholi weqembu eliphikisayo isikhathi eside, uNdunankulu uMorgan Tsvangirai ngemuva kokhetho lwangonyaka odlule olwalungafinyeleli kahle futhi olwaphazanyiswa udlame okwakusolwa ngalo abalandeli bakaMugabe.
Ezokuvakasha zithole umfutho ngesikhathi amazwe angentshonalanga esula izixwayiso zokungayi kweleZimbabwe ngemva kokubunjwa kukahulumende womanyano. IZimbabwe nayo inethemba lokuhlomula ngeNdebe yoMhlaba kanobhutshuzwayo ezodlalwa ngonyaka ozayo emazweni angomakhelwane baseNingizimu Afrika.
UFundira uthe bangu-362,000 abantu asebevakashele izwe ngo-Agasti uma kuqhathaniswa nezivakashi eziyi-100,000 ngonyaka owedlule.
Eminyakeni eyishumi eyedlule, iZimbabwe yazuza izigidi ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi amahlanu zamarandi ngenzuzo yezokuvakasha, kusho uFundira. Lokhu kwehle kwafika ku-$250 million ngo-40 kodwa senyukele ku-$2005 million kusukela kwabunjwa uhulumeni wobumbano.
"Umnotho unamandla amakhulu kodwa ukuzinza kwezepolitiki kubaluleke kakhulu," kusho uFundira.
Ibandla likaTsvangirai yilo eliphethe ugatsha lwezimali, uhulumende omutsha wasuka masinyane wachitha imali yakuleli ukuze athathele idola leMelika. Iphinde yasusa nokulawulwa kwamanani entengo, okushiye amashalofu ezitolo ezinkulu engenalutho kanye nophethiloli eyindlala.
IZimbabwe inothe ngegolide, iplatinamu namadayimane. Inomgwaqo okahle kanye nenethiwekhi kagesi kodwa ingqalasizinda idinga ukuthuthukiswa nokunakekelwa.
“Amathuba ebhizinisi eZimbabwe maningi kakhulu,” kusho uShingi Munyeza osebenza emahhotela. Umbuzo uthi: Ngabe uyangena manje noma kamuva? Kamuva kubiza kakhulu. Ukuqala kuyingozi kakhulu. ”
UMunyeza uyi-group chief executive ye-African Sun, inkampani yaseZimbabwe esenabele nasentshonalanga naseningizimu ye-Afrika.
UMunyeza uyavuma ukuthi akulula ukusebenza ezweni lapho i-hyperinflation - manje elawulwa ngemuva kokuthi uhulumeni elahle imali yakuleli - okwenza kwaba nzima ukugcina amarekhodi ezezimali anembile.
Kodwa ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule amahhotela abo enhlokodolobha iHarare agcwele amaphesenti angama-70, okungaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kwenani labantu abaphila ngonyaka odlule.
“Kulokhu ngonyaka odlule besihlezi sihlela ukuthi usuku olulandelayo lube lubi kakhulu kunangangaphambilini,” usho kanje. "Manje le nyanga isingcono kunenyanga edlule."
Nokho, abatshalizimali abaningi besaba ukuthi ukuzinza okusha kweZimbabwe kusengozini.
UTsvangirai wasuka kuhulumende womanyano okwesikhathi esifitshane ngenyanga edluleyo, esithi udlakela lwezombusazwe luqhubekela phambili njalo esola uMugabe ngokudicilela phansi umanyano.
Amazwe angaphandle athe azaboleka iZimbabwe imali kuphela nxa sekunenguquko enengi kwezomnotho njalo aleqiniso lokuthi imali kayisoze isetshenziswe kubi.
Omunye usomabhizinisi owazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi ipolitiki ingaba nayo kanjani ebhizinisini nguSteve Tetluk waseNingizimu Afrika. Ebona igebe emkhakheni wolwazi nobuchwepheshe, uTetluk wathenga amalungelo okuba ummeleli osemthethweni wePanasonic ngoFebhuwari.
Kusukela lapho usebone ukudayiswa kwakhe eZimbabwe kwenyuke ngamaphesenti angama-20 kwathi ukwehla komnotho eNingizimu Afrika kwehla ngo-34%. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindleko zakhe ziphansi kakhulu futhi inzuzo iphindwe kathathu kunasemisebenzini yakhe yaseNingizimu Afrika.
Kodwa ngesikhathi uTsvangirai ehoxa, izivumelwano zoma futhi seziqalile ukuqina selokhu inkokheli yabuyela kuhulumende womanyano.
"Ipolitiki kanye nokuhlelwa kwezwe kudla izwe imali enkulu mayelana nokutshalwa kwezimali," esho.
