Kwinyanga ephelile, iNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseKapa yagweba ukuba iSebe lezoLimo, amaHlathi nezokuLoba' (DAFF) 2017/2018 i-TAC yeetoni ezi-1 924 zekreyifishi ayizange ithobele uMgaqo-siseko waseMzantsi Afrika, uMthetho woLawulo lokusiNgqongileyo weSizwe kunye noMthetho weziBonelelo eziPhila eLwandle.
I-DAFF iceba ukubhena kwisigwebo seNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseNtshona Koloni esichasene nesabelo sokuloba kwi-West Coast Rock Lobster ngoko ke ifumana iindleko zomthetho.
Inkundla yagweba ngokuchasene neNgxowa-mali yeHlabathi eBanzi yeNdalo yoMzantsi Afrika (WWF-SA), yaze yafumanisa ukuba i-DAFF yasilela ukuthobela igunya layo elisemthethweni lokonga ubutyebi baselwandle.
Ukuba ilitye lelobster liyavunyelwa ukuba lisetyenziswe nangakumbi, oko kusemngciphekweni wokubhanga kurhwebo, kushiye uluntu luphela kuNxweme oluseNtshona lungenalo mthombo ubalulekileyo wengqesho kunye nengeniso yexesha elithile.
Xa ebuzwa ngeendleko zesibheno somthetho nokuba ngubani oza kuphendula kuso, isithethi seDAFF uKhaye Nkwanyana uthe “akakwazi ukuthetha ngeendleko zokuqesha amagqwetha”.
Abalondolozi bendalo bavakalise isigwebo senkundla njenge 'yembali' impumelelo yokhuseleko lwaselwandle.
Ukungahoyi iingcebiso zenzululwazi
Idatha yenzululwazi icebisa ukuba iTotal Allowable Catch (TAC) kufuneka ibengaphantsi kweetoni ezingama-790 ngonyaka ukuvumela inani lelobster yamatye - ngaphantsi kwe-2% yobungakanani bayo bokuqala, ubungakanani bempahla ebikhe yalotywa ngaphambili - ukuba iphinde ibuye. Umlinganiselo wangoku ongaphezu kweetoni ezili-1 924 ungaphezu kweetoni ezili-1 134 kulo 'mmandla okhuselekileyo' uvunywe ngokwenzululwazi.
Ukanti, ngokukaNkwanyana, iDAFF ayizukuhoya kakhulu kwezi ziphumo zenzululwazi okanye isigwebo senkundla xa kumiselwa isabelo sesizini ezayo ngoNovemba walo nyaka. Uthi iDAFF “ayizukuwela kutyhalo lweWWF” ukuthoba umlinganiselo wokuloba iWest Coast Rock Lobster.
Ngokwe-WWF-SA, isenzo senkundla 'yayisisigqibo sokugqibela' se-NGO emva kokuzama iminyaka eliqela ukudibana ne-DAFF ukuthoba isabelo ukusindisa ubutyebi baselwandle obuhlayo, ngaphandle kwempumelelo.
Ngokubalulekileyo, i Inkundla yafumanisa ukuba xa kumiselwa i-TAC, uSekela Mlawuli-Jikelele we-DAFF uSiphokazi Ndudane wasilela ukuthathela ingqalelo obona bungqina bukhoyo bezenzululwazi. njengoko kuyimfuneko ngokomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe.
INkundla ePhakamileyo ibhekiselele kwi iphepha letyala langaphakathi ngakuNdudane, kwingxoxo yoluleko yomhla wesi-3 kuSeptemba 2018 engeniswe njengenxalenye yetyala le-WWF-SA kwingxelo efungelweyo. Olu xwebhu lutyhola, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukubandakanyeka kukaNdudane kumatyala obuqhophololo angama-155, angama-37 obusela, ubuqhetseba, ubuqhophololo, ukoyisa ubulungisa, ukungathobeli nokuba watyikitya amaxwebhu obuqhophololo abhekiselele kwi-TAC yaseWest Coast Rock Lobster.
UNkwanyana uvakalise ukuba ityala likaNdudane alikaxoxwa kwaye akukho mhla ubekiweyo wokwenza oku, okwangoku uNdudane usanqunyanyisiwe ngentlawulo epheleleyo.
'Urhwaphilizo nokubawa'
Usekela-mphathiswa weDA kwiDAFF uPieter van Dalen uthi iyothusa into yokuba iNkundla ePhakamileyo ifune ukubandakanyeka ukunyanzela iDAFF ukuba izalisekise isigunyaziso sayo sokukhusela ubutyebi baselwandle boMzantsi Afrika, nokuba ingasikhathaleli isigwebo kwaye ingene kwezinye iindleko zomthetho – nto leyo Uluntu lwaseMzantsi Afrika luya kuhlawula – lubhentsisa ukuba “ukubola korhwaphilizo kweSebe kuya ngqo phezulu”.
Idume kwihlabathi liphela umfoti wolondolozo lwaselwandle uJean Tresfon, obehlola ubomi baselwandle kuNxweme lwaseNtshona ukususela ngo-1990, uthi “ngokuqinisekileyo uye waphawula ukuncipha kwenani lelobster yamatye, ngokukodwa kubantu abakhulu ngakumbi. Kwakhona kukho amaphenyane amaninzi okuloba iikreyifishi kunanini na ngaphambili, yaye kwinqwelo-moya enye [kuNxweme oluseNtshona] unokubona amakhulukhulu emigibe emanzini.”
I-ajenda efihliweyo
NgokukaVan Dalen, iDAFF isazi ukuba igqithise kwizabelo ukukholisa abavoti. Uthi esona sisombululo iya kuba kukuncedisa ishishini ukuba liziqhubele ngokwasemanzini, okuya kuthi ke kukhulule i-TAC ekhoyo ukuze isasazwe kuluntu olulobayo”.
UNkwanyana uyavuma, nangona kunjalo, ukuba akukho nzame zeaquaculture ziphunyeziweyo kwiWest Coast Rock Lobster.
UBeverley Schäfer, uSihlalo weDA wamaThuba oQoqosho, uKhenketho kunye nezoLimo, uthi oku kuqhawuka konxibelelwano phakathi kwento ethi iDAFF yeyona iphambili, kunye nento eyenziwayo ukunceda uluntu oluphila ngokuloba, luthetha kakhulu. “Ngokuqinisekileyo luxanduva lwe-DAFF ukuthobela iingcebiso zenzululwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuzinza kobutyebi bethu baselwandle ukuya phambili? Kutheni ke ngoko iSebe lingabhenela ingcebiso yenzululwazi eyenziweyo ukukhusela iWest Coast Rock Lobster ngonaphakade?
“Akukho Mzantsi Afrika uya kuxhamla kwicandelo lokuloba ukuba akukho ntlanzi ishiyekileyo kulwandle lwethu,” utshilo uSchäfer.
Ubuncwane obukhethekileyo boMzantsi Afrika be-West Coast Rock Lobster behlile ngokumangalisayo kule minyaka ingama-50 idlulileyo ngenxa yokuloba ngokugqithisileyo kangangokuba bumalunga ne-1.9% kuphela yobungakanani babo bokuqala, obulotywe kwangaphambili ngoko ke umngcipheko weWest Coast Rock Lobster Ukuphela kwezorhwebo kuphezulu kakhulu kuneziphumo ezibi kwezentlalo noqoqosho kunye ne-ikholoji.
