UMzantsi Afrika uvule ixesha lokuzingela kwiingwe emva kweminyaka emibini yobabalo. ISebe leMicimbi yezeNdalo linike imvume yokudubula izingwe ezimbini KwaZulu Natal ezintlanu kwiPhondo laseLimpopo. Amahlosi kufuneka abe ngamadoda aneminyaka esixhenxe nangaphezulu.
Esi sigqibo siza emva kwe-zero quota ngo-2016 no-2017 kwaye sisiphumo sokuzimisela kweGunya lezeNzululwazi ukuba ukuzingela iingwe kwiindawo ezithile ngoku kuzinzile. IGunya lezeNzululwazi lagqiba kwelokuba ukuzingela amahlosi akuyi kuba nampembelelo imbi ekusindeni kwehlosi endle.
Oku kubothuse abalondolozi bendalo, abathi iSebe leMicimbi yokusiNgqongileyo (DEA) alinabungqina baneleyo bezenzululwazi bokwenza olo bizo.
UMichele Pickover we-EMS Foundation wabanga ukuba imithetho ekhoyo kunye nemimiselo yayinganelanga ukujongana nezisongelo ezininzi ezijongene neengwe kwaye isiseko sesayensi yesigqibo se-DEA sasilinganiselwe kwaye siphikisana kakhulu.
“Ukumiswa kweminyaka emibini akunakuba lixesha elaneleyo lokuba iziphumo eziyingozi nezingazinzanga zokuzingela indebe zibuyiselwe umva okanye iziphumo zakho zilinganiswe ngokufanelekileyo,” utshilo. "Ukuzingela iindebe kusisoyikiso kubukho bazo obuqhubekayo kwaye kunefuthe elibi kwimeko yolondolozo."
UBongani Tembe weSebe loPhuhliso loQoqosho, uKhenketho neMicimbi yezeNdalo KwaZulu-Natal, uthe iKZN yabelwa ukuzingela amahlosi ngenyanga yeSilimela, nangona isimemezelo esisemthethweni eluntwini lwaziswe esidlangalaleni kuphela nguMphathiswa weDEA uEdna Molewa kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo (we-12 kweyeThupha).
NgokukaBrent Coverdale, uSihlalo weQonga leeNgcebiso ngokuZingela i-Leopard kwi-Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, ugunyaziso oluvumela ukuba amahlosi amabini ahambe eKZN “lusekwe kwinkqubo yethu yephondo yokubeka iliso kwaye ibonwa njengezinzileyo.”
Ekwamkeleni ulwabiwo, iGunya lezeNzululwazi licebise ukuba kungabikho kuzingelwa kufuneka kwenzeke apho amanani amahlosi ehla okanye apho kungekho datha yomelele ngokwenzululwazi malunga nentsingiselo yeengwe. Nangona kunjalo, akukacaci ukuba le datha ikhona.
"Isimo sabo sangoku kunye nokusasazwa kwabo kubonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba uluhlu lwabo luyancipha kwaye luyancipha," kusho uPickover. “Akukokuphela nje kokulahlekelwa yindawo ehlala abantu esichengeni, kodwa kwakhona ilahleko yexhoba, ukugxothwa ngokugqithisileyo nokungazinzanga ngeenjongo zokuzonwabisa, amanqanaba aphezulu okuzingela ngokungekho mthethweni ngeenjongo zorhwebo kunye nokubulawa okungakhethi cala okufana nokubambisa nokuziphindezela ukubulawa ngetyhefu okanye imipu ngamafama.”
