I-Butch yayingumsunguli, umnini, kunye nosihlalo we Iimbadada zeembadada, IiLwandle iiholide, kunye nenkampani yabazali babo iSandals Resorts International. Uphumelele ngoMvulo, nge-4 kaJanuwari 2021, eneminyaka eyi-79.
Njengoko ndijamelene nosizi lokulahleka, ndiyazibona iinkumbulo ezinkulu kwaye umnikelo awenzileyo kum, kunye nohambo lwam kukhenketho loluntu. Ndidibene neButch ekungeneni kwakhe kumzi mveliso wezokhenketho kwaye ndonwabe kakhulu kukuba phakathi kwabakhokeli bakhe abakhokelayo ukuba abe nguMongameli weJamaica Hotel kunye noMbutho wabakhenkethi (JHTA) kwaye kwangoko ndibone iimpawu ezinamandla. Ngobudlelwane beminyaka emininzi wayeyixhasa kakhulu imizamo yam kuKhenketho loLuntu, nanjengehotele encinci.
Ngeli xesha ndandinguSihlalo weKomiti yeehotele ezincinci eCaribbean Association Association, senza isindululo kuyilo 'lokwamkela inkqubo encinci yehotele', ekhuthaze iipropathi ezinkulu ukuba zikhethe ihotele encinci ukuba ibamkele ukuze ibanike inkxaso ngezixhobo zokuthenga, izitya, izinto zokusika, ilineni ngamaxabiso abo kunamaxabiso aphezulu okuthengisa, kuba besingenakho uku-odola izixa ezikhulu kwaye sixhamle kwiirhafu ezininzi. Kwakhona, ukubonelela ngophuhliso lweshishini, uqeqesho kunye nenkxaso yentengiso. I-Butch yayiye kuphela ihotele enkulu ukuba iphendule kakuhle kule nkqubo kwaye yandithumelela ileta echaza ukuba ingathanda ukwamkela ihotele yam encinci eMandeville - The Astra Country Inn. Ibibandakanya ukumiliselwa kwiSandals Negril, kwaye ibandakanya umtya wokuthenga ngetyala kuthi wokuthenga izixhobo zokusika ezifunekayo, iitawuli, iitawuli zezandla kunye neempahla zokuhlamba. Emva koko wathumela amagumbi ayi-7 efanitshala, kuquka neenwele.
Phakathi kweenkumbulo ezithandekayo kunye nokuzibandakanya noluntu, kuxa wayefuna ukufumanisa enye yeeNdawo zethu zoLuntu zamava oTyelelo kwaye sakhetha iVillage Resource, nelifa layo iMarcus Garvey kunye nendlela eyaziwayo yemveli yokwenza i-bammy athe wayithatha inxaxheba kwaye kamva wayonwabela. Uluntu, i-ackee esandula ukwenziwa kunye neentlanzi zetyuwa, iibhanana ezibilisiweyo kunye neziqhamo ezintsha. Ubungqina belifa lakhe buhlala kunye neSandals Foundation exhase iinzame zoluntu kwilizwe liphela.

Ndibe nobunzima ekufumaneni inkxaso-mali ukuze ndibekho, kwaye wandimemela eofisini yakhe, wandihlalisa kwisitayile sakhe somhlaba, wandicenga, ndibonelela ngenkxaso-mali endiyifunayo, ndiqaphela ukuba umhlaba kufuneka uyazi ngale nto. Eli lelinye lamaxesha amaninzi awathi wanikezela ngenkxaso yakhe, ngaphambili nangokuthe cwaka. Wayevuya kuba ndiphumelele eli bhaso kunye ne-TUI UK.
Le yimizekelo nje, ewela kumgaqo opheleleyo wegalelo, abanye abanokungqina ngalo. Ngokwenene wayengumntu omangalisayo, kwaye akusayi kuphinda kubekho enye iButch Stewart, kodwa uqinisekile ngamandla elifa lakhe elihlala nosapho kunye nabantwana bakhe.
