Umhlaba ubumbene ukulwa nemoto yekhebula eMount Kilimanjaro

Izinkulungwane zabantu emhlabeni jikelele zihlangene ndawonye zibhikishela ukuthi kungenzeka kube nokwakhiwa kwemoto yekhebula engundabuzekwayo eMount Kilimanjaro, okuyigugu lomhlaba.

NgoMashi 2019 iPhini likaNgqongqoshe Wezemvelo Nezokuvakasha eTanzania, uConstantine Kanyasu wamemezela izinhlelo zokufaka imoto yekhebula entabeni ephakeme kunazo zonke e-Afrika, njengecebo lokuheha izivakashi eziningi nokukhulisa izinombolo zezokuvakasha.

Imoto yekhebula izobhekiswa ikakhulukazi ekusizeni ukuvakashelwa kwabavakashi abadala, okungenzeka ukuthi abakulungeli ngokwanele ngokwanele ukuba bakhuphuke intaba, okuyindawo ephakeme yayo, engamamitha angu-5,895 ubude.

Esikhundleni sokubukwa okujwayelekile kweqhwa neqhwa, le moto yekhebula ingahlinzeka ngohambo losuku ngamehlo enyoni, ngokungahambisani nohambo lwezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili lokuhamba izintaba.

Kodwa ukusabela kusheshe, ngesicelo esiku-inthanethi esimelene nalo mklamo osendaweni ebalulekile yamagugu omhlaba, okuhehe ababhikishi ababalelwa ku-400,000 emhlabeni jikelele abacela iTanzania ukuthi igcine intaba ye-Mount Kilimanjaro 'ingenazimoto'.

Isicelo esiku-inthanethi sikhombisa umthelela wezomnotho kubathwali bendawo abangama-250,000 abathembele emisebenzini yezokuvakasha eNtabeni iKilimanjaro kuphela, ukuze baphile.

IKilimanjaro ingenye yezindawo eziheha izivakashi ezinkulu eTanzania, idonsa abagibeli abangama-50,000 55 futhi yenze izwe lithole ama- $ XNUMX million ngonyaka.

"Ukwethulwa kwemoto yekhebula eNtabeni, obekungeke kusadinga usizo lwabathwali bezimpahla, kuzokonakalisa lo mthombo wemali" kubhala uMark Gale, owethula isicelo kuTshintsho.org.

UGale uphinde waveza ukuthi umuntu omdala ukwedlula bonke ukunyuka iKilimanjaro wayeneminyaka engama-86 ubudala futhi uthi le ntaba ingaphakathi kwezivakashi “ezindala”.

"Ngikhuphuke ngenyanga edlule ngineminyaka engama-53 ubudala futhi bekuyisipiliyoni esimangazayo ukubeka unyawo olulodwa phambi kolunye nokuhlala entabeni, akukho ukujabula ngokuthatha itekisi uye esiqongweni sentaba" kuphawule uMnu Gale.

Isikhulu esiphezulu seTanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO), uSirili Akko, uthe ucabanga ukuthi kunesidingo sokukhipha isifundo esizohola uhulumeni ezindlekweni zamathuba okuphuthelwa yimakethe ethile ebhekiswe kuyo ngemoto yekhebula - abadala nabakhubazekile - umonakalo ongenakulungiswa wemvelo nokwaziswa okungekuhle.

Le nkonzo yezimoto zamakhebuli ehlongozwayo “izosatshalaliswa kuMzila weMachame lapho umqansa uzoqala futhi uphele khona,” ngokusho kukaBeatrice Mchome waseCrescent Environmental Management Consult, futhi ohola ithimba lochwepheshe ekwenzeni ukuhlolwa kwemithelela kwezenhlalo nezenhlalo.

Umzila wakwaMachame, owaziwa nangokuthi iWhisky Route, uthandwa kakhulu ngobuhle bawo obubabazekayo. Kodwa-ke, umzila uthathwa njengobunzima, oweqile futhi oyinselele, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yohambo lwawo olufushane (izinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisithupha kulabo abafuna ukufinyelela engqungqutheleni).

Lo mzila ulungele kangcono abagibeli abangahle noma labo abanokuphakama okuthile okuphezulu, ukuhamba izintaba noma isipiliyoni se-backpacking.

UNkk Mchome utshele abezokuvakasha e-Arusha ukuthi imoto yekhebula, lapho ekugcineni izokwakhiwa izosebenza ngezimoto ezingama-25 ezikwazi ukuthwala abagibeli abayi-150 ohambweni oluya eShira Plateau, cishe amamitha angu-3,000 XNUMX ngaphezu kolwandle.
Insizakalo yemoto yekhebula izokwakhiwa futhi isetshenziswe yinkampani ezimele yaseMelika, nayo ebhalise inkampani yendawo, i-AVAN Kilimanjaro.

U-Edson Mpemba, ongusihlalo womphakathi wabathwala izimpahla, ukhale ngokuthi uma zakhiwa, “iningi lezivakashi lizokhetha imoto yezintambo ukunciphisa izindleko nobude bokuhlala,” okuthinta ezokuvakasha jikelele ezihambisana neKilimanjaro.
Ubuye futhi wazibuza ukuthi kungani abathatha izinqumo bengazinaki izifiso zabasebenzi abangafundile bekota million abancike entabeni ukuziphilisa.

"Cabanga ngomphumela omubi emindenini yabathwali bamasango abangama-250,000," esho exwayisa ukuthi, "isikhungo semoto yekhebula ekuqaleni sizobukeka njengomqondo omuhle futhi omusha, kepha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, sizokonakalisa izimpilo nekusasa iningi labantu bendawo abaziphilisa ngentaba. ”

Unobhala omkhulu weTanzania Porters Organisation, uLoshiye Mollel, uzwakalise ukwesaba ukuthi lo msebenzi uzonikela ngabathwali bezimpahla abangama-250,000 XNUMX futhi ungabaphoqa ukuthi benze izimpilo zobugebengu.

Umphathi omkhulu wepaki neKINAPA, uBetty Looibok, nokho uthi ukwakhiwa kwemoto yekhebula kuzoya ngomphumela wokuhlolwa komthelela kwezemvelo nakwezenhlalo oqhubekayo njengamanje.

"Imoto yekhebula eyabantu abakhubazekile ngokomzimba, izingane kanye nezivakashi ezindala ezifuna ukuzwa intokozo yokukhuphuka intaba i-Kilimanjaro inyukele eShira Plateau ngaphandle kokufisa ukufika engqungqutheleni," echaza.

Ngenkathi uNgqongqoshe Wezemvelo Nezokuvakasha, uDkt Hamis Kigwangalla ekholelwa ukuthi insizakalo yezimoto ezihamba ngamakhebuli izoletha izivakashi eziningi ezazingavumi ukukhuphuka intaba, uMnu Mpemba ubona ukulahleka kwemisebenzi kubathwali bemikhumbi nemali ephansi kuhulumeni isuka kwabambalwa ukuhlala njengoba izivakashi zifika, zisondeza phezulu naphansi kwentaba, futhi zihambe, zibulale wona kanye umongo wokuqwala izintaba njengesipiliyoni sokuvakasha futhi zincishe abathwali bezinto zokuphila.
Abanye abantu bathi izimoto zekhebula endle ziyasetshenziswa kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba njengaseSwitzerland nase-US. Kepha kukhona izindleko zemvelo zokwakha izimoto zekhebula.

Okokuqala, izihlahla notshani kufanele kususwe ukudala umzila wentambo odala imithelela emibi kwezemvelo, njengoba kunjalo nokwakha ama-pylon amakhulu nemibhoshongo neziteshi ezibhubhisa izimbali, ezithatha iminyaka ukuphinde zilulame, uma kunjalo.
UMerwyn Nunes, owayekade eyisisebenzi sikahulumeni eMnyangweni Wezemvelo Nezokuvakasha futhi engusihlalo wokusungula weTanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO), uthi le phrojekthi iphikisana neSigaba 58 (2) soMthetho Wezokuvakasha WaseTanzania ka-2008 ongu-11 othi lowo msebenzi wokuqwala intaba noma wokuhamba ngezinyawo ungowezinkampani eziphethwe ngokuphelele ngabaseTanzania.

Umqondisi wezokuvakasha ongumakadebona, uVictor Manyanga, uxwayisa ngokuthi insizakalo yezimoto ezihamba ngamakhebuli izothuthukisa ezokuvakasha eziningi, okuphambene nenqubomgomo yezokuvakasha yaseTanzania futhi kulimale imvelo yaseMount Kilimanjaro.

"Uhambo lukaMachame lapho kuzokwakhiwa khona ikhebula imoto yindlela yezinyoni ezifudukayo, futhi izintambo zikagesi nakanjani zizobalimaza," esho.

USam Diah, omunye wabavakashi, wazibuza ukuthi kungani iTanapa inikeze inkampani yangaphandle lo msebenzi ngaphandle kokulandela imithetho yezwe yokuthengwa komphakathi.

Abaqhubi bezokuvakasha nabo bakhathazekile ngokuphepha kwabagibeli bezimoto zamakhebuli eziyi-150 uma kwenzeka ingozi, njengoba izindiza ezinophephela emhlane zokutakula zithwala abantu abane kuphela ngesikhathi.
