Umsasazi weshishini ophambili wamazwe aphesheya uRichard Quest ngomnye wobona buso baziwa kakhulu kwiqela le-CNN. Quest, owamodareyitha i-22 UNWTO Ingxoxo ekwinqanaba eliphezulu leNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo malunga nokhenketho kunye nee-SDGs, wabelana ngezimvo zakhe malunga namathemba ecandelo.
Q – Ubusenza ingxelo malunga necandelo lezokhenketho kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo. Uyibona njani indaleko yecandelo kwiminyaka ezayo?
A – Umntu kufuneka akhumbule ukuba ukhenketho lelinye lamacandelo akhula ngokukhawuleza kwihlabathi; ipesenti yayo ye-GDP yi-10% kwaye imele umsebenzi om-1 kwi-10. Ukubaluleka kwayo akuthandabuzeki. Umbuzo ngowokukhula ngendlela ezinzileyo. Ngaba iingenelo zinokunanditshwa ngabo bonke okanye ngaba sigqibela ngokubaleka ukuya ezantsi? Lowo iya kuba ngumceli mngeni omkhulu: ukudala ishishini lokhenketho elinentsingiselo, elizinzileyo nelinengeniso.
Q - UNWTO isebenza ngokusondeleyo namajelo eendaba kwaye inegalelo ekwandiseni amandla eentatheli ukuba anike ingxelo ngokhenketho. Ngokubona kwakho ithini indima yabeendaba ekuxhaseni ukhenketho oluzinzileyo?
A - Indima yeendaba ayikho malunga nokukhuthaza imbono enye okanye enye. Ukhenketho oluzinzileyo ngumgaqo-nkqubo osele uphuhliswe kumxholo weZizwe eziManyeneyo kwaye ngokuchanekileyo ngakumbi kwiWorld Tourism Organisation, njengenxalenye yee-SDGs.
Ngoko ke, kufuneka sinike ingxelo malunga nayo, malunga nenkqubela phambili eyenziwayo kwaye ingaba inengqiqo okanye ingaba iyaphuma kwiireyile. Ndicinga ukuba enye into amajelo anokuthi agxininiswe ngayo ngumbuzo wokuba ngaba sidala esi sikhokelo, ukuba iinjongo ziyafezekiswa, ukuba UNWTO wenza into elungileyo okanye engalunganga…Asingomsebenzi wethu lowo. Umsebenzi wethu kukunika ingxelo malunga nento eyenzekayo, indlela enyanzeliswa ngayo kunye nendlela ebekwe esweni ngayo, kunye nokubonisa impumelelo kunye nezo meko apho kufuneka kwenziwe umsebenzi omningi. Kodwa asikho kwishishini lokukhuthaza i-ajenda yomnye umntu. Kuya kuba yimpazamo enkulu ukuba abantu bakholelwe ukuba le yindima yeendaba.
Q-Enye ye UNWTOImimandla yomsebenzi kukuxhasa ulawulo lokhenketho kunxibelelwano namajelo eendaba. Inokuba yintoni ingcebiso yakho kwiindawo ekuya kuzo ukuphucula ubudlelwane babo beendaba?
A – Awunako ukunxulumana namajelo eendaba kuphela xa izinto zihamba kakuhle. Awungekhe uqhagamshelane nabantu abafana nam kwaye uthi "Ndinebali elihle kuwe, yiza" okanye "kutheni ungezi ukukhuthaza oku?" Ibali elimnandi libali elihle, kodwa ubudlelwane bokwenyani ngabo bakhiwa ixesha elide, apho amajelo eendaba akhula ukuqonda okulungileyo okwenzeka kwilizwe lakho, ubunzima apho kunye nento eyenziwayo ukusombulula ezo .
Abaphathiswa bezoKhenketho abasoloko bethetha-thethana nabeendaba besithi “nantsi into esiyenzayo malunga nokhenketho oluzinzileyo”, “nantsi into esiyenzayo ngobunqolobi”, “le nto siyenzayo ngokhuseleko” okanye “ngendlela , sinomcimbi wokugcwala okanye ukwakhiwa ngokugqithisileyo kunxweme lolwandle, yile nto siyenzayo”… Aba ngabaphathiswa abaya kuba neendlebe zam xa benebali elimnandi okanye ibali elicela umngeni.
Ngoko ke, ingcebiso yam kuye nawuphi na umphathiswa wezokhenketho okanye i-ofisi yezokhenketho kukuba ubudlelwane bosasazo abunakuvulwa kwaye bucinywe. Ayisebenzi ngolo hlobo. Uya kutsha. Ubudlelwane obude kunye namajelo eendaba benza iibhlorho eziwela omabini amaqela kwixesha elizayo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Abaphathiswa bezoKhenketho abasoloko bethetha-thethana nabeendaba besithi “nantsi into esiyenzayo malunga nokhenketho oluzinzileyo”, “nantsi into esiyenzayo ngobunqolobi”, “le nto siyenzayo ngokhuseleko” okanye “ngendlela , sinomcimbi wokugcwala okanye ukwakhiwa ngokugqithisileyo kunxweme lolwandle, yile nto siyenzayo”… Aba ngabaphathiswa abaya kuba neendlebe zam xa benebali elimnandi okanye ibali elicela umngeni.
- ” A good story is a good story, but the real relationships are those that are built over a long period of time, where the media grows to understand the good that is happening in your country, the difficulties there and what is being done to solve those.
- I think that one thing that the media can become obsessed with is the question of if we are creating this framework, if the goals are being met, if UNWTO is doing the right thing or the wrong thing…That is not our job.
