Ngokweenkcukacha-manani zakutsha nje zeSeychelles National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), ilizwe lamkele iindwendwe ezingama-294,071 ukusuka ngomhla woku-1 kuJanuwari ukuya kumhla wesi-3 kuNovemba ka-2024, okuphawula ukunyuka kwe-1% xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo kunyaka ophelileyo.
Amanani abonisa ukunyuka okuthe gqolo kokufika kwabatyeleli, kwaye amanani ahlala enyuka ukusuka phakathi ku-Okthobha. Ukulandela ukusebenza okucothayo kwikota yesibini neyesithathu, abafikayo baphinde bavuka ngamandla ukusuka kwiveki ye-40 (ephela ngo-Oktobha 6), ngokubalwa kweveki edlula ezo ze-2023 kunye ne-2022. Iipesenti ezingama-20 zazingaphezulu kwe-8,000% kunexesha elifanayo kunyaka wethu obalaseleyo, ka-44.
Abakhenkethi baseYurophu bathatha i-73% yenani lamanani abatyeleli kulo nyaka ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, beqaqambisa isibheno sokunyamezela kweSeychelles eYurophu kunye nokomeleza isimo sayo njengendawo enqweneleka kakhulu kwezi marike.

Ethetha ngokunyuka kwamanani abatyeleli, uNksk. Sherin Francis, uNobhala oyiNtloko wezoKhenketho, uthi ukunyuka kwamanani abatyeleli kubangelwa yimiba edibeneyo.
“Amanani akhoyo ayakhuthaza kakhulu kwaye abonakalisa iinzame ezidityanisiweyo zeSebe lezoKhenketho laseSeychelles kunye namahlakani alo ekwandiseni ukubonakala kwelizwe, ukufikeleleka kunye nesibheno.

Oku kubonisa impembelelo enokubakho yokufikelela komoya okuphuculweyo kwiziqithi zethu. Lilonke, oku kukhula kuqaqambisa ukomelela kunye nokuziqhelanisa neemeko kushishino lwezokhenketho lwasekhaya njengoko siqhuba ukutsala abakhenkethi kwilizwe elitshintsha ngokukhawuleza.
Ukwakhiwa kwesi santya esihle, iSeychelles iyaqhubeka nokutsala ezinye iimarike eziphambili, kunye ne-UAE kunye ne-USA ebonisa ukusebenza okuqinileyo xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka odlulileyo.

Ukongeza, uMzantsi Afrika ubonakalise ukuphucuka okuzingileyo, ngokunyuka kwamanani abatyeleli nge-3% kulo nyaka.
UMlawuli Jikelele weNtengiso yeNdawo yokuFikela, uNksk. Bernadette Willemin, ugxininise ukuba ukunyuka kwabantu abafikayo kusisiphumo esithe ngqo semigudu yentsebenziswano yamaqela kwiimarike ezahlukeneyo, exhaswa ngamaphulo okuthengisa anempembelelo. Ngokusebenza ngokusondeleyo namaqabane orhwebo acwangcisiweyo apha ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe, ngokuthatha inxaxheba kwimisitho yehlabathi, kunye nokuxhasa amaphulo asekuhlaleni, ezi nzame bezibalulekile ekuboniseni ubuhle obukhethekileyo beziqithi kunye nomtsalane wenkcubeko. Ukuzinikela kwabo kudlale indima ebalulekileyo ekulawuleni umdla wehlabathi eSeychelles njengendawo ephambili yokuhamba.
“Sichulumancile kukubona lo mfutho uncomekayo ekufikeni kweendwendwe zethu.”
