Lucky George: Ewe, Juergen!
Mna nawe siyayazi UNWTO kakuhle kakhulu, kodwa bambalwa abantu abayaziyo imbali. Nangona kunjalo, eneneni, ndibe nelungelo lokuba ndaziswa kwindoda eyaziwa ngokuba ngu-Ignatius Amaduwa Atigbi, owayesakuba nguNobhala Jikelele we-Nigeria Tourist Association ngoko, ngoku i-Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation [NTDC], i-arhente yezokhenketho ephezulu eNigeria.

Ndaba ngumfundi wakhe kuba ndandikulungele ukumamela amabali akhe ngendlela awawuqala ngayo umsebenzi wakhe wokuba yintatheli kwiReuters eNtshona Afrika waza kamva waya kwiFleet Street eLondon.

Ukusuka apho, ndafundiswa ngembali kunye nokusekwa kwe UNWTO kunye, ukumiselwa koMbhiyozo woSuku loKhenketho lweHlabathi, ukusekwa kweZizwe eziManyeneyo e-Acapulco, eMexico, ngo-1970.

Enyanisweni, i IKhomishini yoKhenketho yaseAfrika [ATC], eyagqiba ekubeni amalungu abo kufuneka aqhubeke efumana inkxaso karhulumente, imeko ye-International Union ye-Official Travel Organization [IUOTO] esekelwe eFransi kufuneka itshintshe.

Bendinjani UNWTO yenziwe?

Amalungu avuma, yaye usihlalo wabuza enoba kukho naliphi na igqwetha elisendlwini ukuze libakhokele. Khangela, igqwetha kuphela elikhoyo lalingumNigeria ogama linguOdubayo, umsebenzi weSebe lezoRhwebo kunye neShishini laseNigeria.

Wabhala isivumelwano esavotelwa ngamalungu. Ngentsimbi yesi-2 kusasa ngomhla wama-27 kuSeptemba, 1970, isiphakamiso sokuthiywa ngokutsha kwe-IOUTO ibe nguMbutho weHlabathi wezoKhenketho [WTO] samkelwa.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Bendingayazi lonto. Inika umdla kakhulu.

Lucky George: Ewe. Kwaye ndinawo amaxwebhu, imizuzu yeentlanganiso.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Wow, yonke into intsha kum.
Kodwa ubukwishishini lokuhamba kunye nokhenketho ixesha elide kunam. Ndaqala kwishishini lokuhamba ngo-1978, kodwa ndandisebenza ngakumbi. Ndandingabandakanyeki kwimibutho.

Umsebenzi wam wokuqala wawuseMorocco, eAfrika. Ndandingumkhokeli wabakhenkethi, ndingenguye umkhenkethisi, kodwa ndathengisa amalungiselelo omhlaba kubakhenkethi baseJamani ngenqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa eya eMorocco. Ngoko ke lowo ibingumsebenzi wam wokuqala. Ke, bendingenaxhala nebhodi kunye nombutho wezokhenketho.

Lwaqala njani uSuku lweHlabathi loKhenketho?

Lucky George: Libali kunye nohambo lwanamhlanje UNWTO. Nangona kunjalo, ngo-1971 e-Ankara, eTurkey, kwiNtlanganiso ye-XXII yeNdibano ye-IUOTO, iKhomishoni yase-Afrika, phantsi kobunkokheli be-Ignatius Amaduwa Atigbi waseNigeria, iphakamise ukuba i-27 Septemba, ibe ngumhla wokuba ukuguqulwa kwe-IUOTO kwi-WTO yenziwe ukuba ibekwe. ecaleni kwaye ikhunjulwa minyaka le njengoSuku lweHlabathi lwezoKhenketho.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Inomdla!

Lucky George: Ngaphandle kweli bali le-akhawunti yobuqu, bekungekho xwebhu lokuqinisekisa amazwi earhente yezokhenketho. 

Asinawo nawaphi na amaxwebhu. Ngoko, ndakubona kulucelomngeni, ndaza ndagqiba kwelokuba ndihambe ndisuka eLagos ndiye eSpeyin.

Ke ngethamsanqa kum, bendinxibelelana nomfo waseSlovenia owayeyintloko yeqela. UNWTO isebe lonxibelelwano ngelo xesha.

Ndambhalela ndaza ndamazisa ngenjongo yam yokuza eSpeyin ukuze ndifune ubungqina bokuba uAtigbi wayeyindoda eyayicebise ukubhiyozelwa koSuku lweHlabathi lwezoKhenketho kwisikhundla sakhe njengoSihlalo weKomishoni yoKhenketho yaseAfrika [ATC].

Noko ke, wayethandabuza, kodwa wathembisa ukundinceda xa ndifika eMadrid, kanye kanye awakwenzayo.

Sijonge kwimizuzu yeentlanganiso. Ngethamsanqa, saqala sakhubeka kwikopi yemizuzu yentlanganiso ye-1971 ngesiFrentshi, apho imbali yayibhalwe kakuhle, kwaye khangela; siye safumana nenguqulelo yesiNgesi.

Leyo yindlela endabuyela ngayo ekhaya (eNigeria) kwiziko lezokhenketho nakwinkonzo nezinto endandizifumene. Isishwankathelo, ndaye ndakhuthaza ukuba kubhalwe incwadi eya kuNobhala Jikelele we UNWTO ngelo xesha kwaye bafuna ukuba umntu waseAfrika ufanele ukukhunjulwa kwaye abhiyozelwe.

Ngovuyo, kwakungekho inkcaso kwifowuni yaseNigeria, kwaye UNWTO, phantsi koNobhala Jikelele uDkt. Taleb Rifai, wabhala emva kwinkonzo kwaye wathembisa ukuhlonipha u-Ignatius Amaduwa Atigbi kwi-2009 International Tourism Day Celebration eyayibanjwe yiGhana.

Ibali elingemva UNWTO kunye noSuku lweHlabathi loKhenketho

Juergen, yayilibali emva kwe UNWTO kunye noMbhiyozo woSuku lweHlabathi loKhenketho.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Ingakholeki!

Lucky George: Ukuyibamba yonke into, urhulumente waseNigeria, ngokusebenzisa i-Federal Ministry of Culture and Tourism, wandivuyisa kunye nesamba se-N200.000. Uyazi ukuba ndiyaluthanda ukhenketho lwaseAfrika, kwaye ndicinga ukuba usakhumbula izinto zam zaseZimbabwe.

Kwaye, kakade, ubusazi kakuhle mhla kwaqala inkathazo eZimbabwe, ndingulowo waqhagamshelwa liGosa eliLawulayo leZimbabwe Tourism Authority [ZTA], ongasekhoyo uKarigoke Kaseke, efuna ndize eZimbabwe nabathile. Iintatheli ezivela kwihlabathi jikelele.

Emva kweminyaka emibini okanye emithathu emva koko, iZimbabwe yabamba umsitho UNWTO INtlanganiso yeNdibano kaWonke-wonke kunye neZambia eVictoria Falls eZimbabwe naseLivingstone eZambia.

Olo tshintsho lukhulu lweziganeko lwalungenxa yesiseko apho mna nawe sasebenzisa amaqonga ethu ukutshintsha.

Kwakhona, okulusizi, i-Zimbabwe Tourism Authority kunye ne-ofisi yomphathiswa ayiphumelelanga ukundibhatala imali eseleyo ekuvunyelwene ngayo ngeenkonzo zam. Iintloni!!!

IQela loMsebenzi weCNN kunye eTurboNews

UJuergen Steinmetz: Ulazi kakuhle ibali lam kunye UNWTO kunye neQela leMisebenzi yeCNN. Thina ke sazisa iCNN emfanekisweni kuba uAnita Mendiratta, owayezinze eKapa, ​​eMzantsi Afrika, wayengabazi abantu abaninzi, yaye saqalisa ukumazisa ebantwini.

Nangona, imbono yayiyeyokuba ekugqibeleni, siza kufumana intengiso enkulu kunye nokucinga, oku kuhle.

I-CNN yenze kakuhle. U-Anita wabhala amanqaku amaninzi abalaseleyo eTurboNews. Siye sachaza imibutho, amaphulo kunye nabantu ngabanye. Kodwa ngelishwa, asizange sibe nasabelo kwintengiso.

Lucky George: Ndimazi kakuhle uAnita Mendiratta. Ukudibana kwethu kokugqibela kwaba krakra eGambia. Ndigcine i-Gambia i-1.5 yezigidi zeedola kwi-World Bank yezokhenketho inkxaso-mali apho umlawuli welizwe wayezimisele ukwahlukana nayo kwikhontrakthi yopapasho lobuvuvu kunye ne-CNN endiye ndajijisana nayo.

Phofu ke, libali lolunye usuku elo.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Ewe, ewe, ewe. Uyalazi ibali lam UNWTO.

Lucky George: Ngokuqinisekileyo. Ngokuqinisekileyo. Umbuzo omkhulu ngowokuba siyenza njani UNWTO ukusebenza kunye nezinye ii-arhente ezikhethekileyo ze-UN, apho ilizwekazi ngalinye belizakuba nabameli abahleliyo abafana noMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi [i-WHO] kunye ne-International Labour Organisation [ILO] kuwo onke amazwekazi endaweni yokuxhomekeka kubalawuli bemisebenzi abanomdla kwiinzuzo zabo.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Unyanisile.

Lucky George: Zonke ii-arhente ze-UN ezihloniphekileyo zisebenza ngokusondeleyo namajelo eendaba asekhaya nawamazwe ngamazwe, kuquka UNWTO. Ngokuqhelekileyo abazibambi iifowuni okanye baphendule ii-imeyile.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Hayi, abenzi njalo.

Lucky George: Kubuhlungu, kodwa asikwazi ukuqhubeka nokunyamezela ukugqithiswa kwe UNWTO.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Unenqaku elisemthethweni. Ndiye ndanamava afanayo nawo ukutyhubela iminyaka. Mhlawumbi eyam inezizathu ezahlukeneyo, kodwa uMarcelo Risi, umfo weendaba, akazange aphendule nantoni na ukusukela oko wafumana umphathi wakhe omtsha.

Ukususela oko uZurab Pololikashvili wathatha iintambo, andizange ndifowunelwe.

UNWTO Undithintele ekubeni ndiye kwiinkomfa zabo zoonondaba, ngokukodwa kwiMarike yokuHamba yeHlabathi, apho siliqabane elisemthethweni leendaba, kwaye andikwazanga ukuya. Babeqeshe unogada owayemi apho ephethe ifoto yam esandleni ukuze aqinisekise ukuba andingeni eholweni.

Ngoko ke, abaquki nangayiphi na indlela. Abakuthandi ukugxekwa, kwaye abaphenduli xa begxekwa. Kwaye ndiyaqikelela yena (uZurab) angenza nasiphi na isigqibo asifunayo. Kwaye akukho mntu ukukhathaleleyo.

Kubuhlungu kuba naxa ujonga iindibano zikawonke-wonke neminye imisitho ababa nayo, amalungu azo, uninzi lwabaphathiswa, njengoko ubutshilo, bayatshintsha ngalo lonke ixesha. Abatsha abavela kumazwe amaninzi abayazi into eyenziwa ngabaphathiswa bakudala.

Lucky George:  Ke, Juergen, senza ntoni? Uninzi lwamazwe aseAfrika asebenzisa UNWTO iziganeko njengeehambo zokuzonwabisa kwaye zihlawulwa ngurhulumente wabo, apho iNigeria inye.

UJuergen Steinmetz: Kwaye mhlawumbi kungekhona kuphela e-Afrika kuba kukho imeko efanayo kumazwe amaninzi emhlabeni jikelele, kwaye ukuba awunabo abadlali ababalaseleyo, kwaye ndithetha nge-UK, i-United States, iCanada phakathi kwabanye, UNWTO iya kuhlala iyi-arhente ekhohlakeleyo ye-UN.

Lucky George: Kukungcungcutheka.
