Ulwazi olufunyenweyo lubonisa ukuba kwezi veki zidlulileyo kuthathwe iitoni enye kunye nesiqingatha seendlovu ezifunyenwe kubazingeli abangekho mthethweni, abashushumbisi kunye nabantu abafunyenwe benayo, kwiMpuma Afrika iphela kumzamo odibeneyo wabaphathi bezilwanyana zasendle, amapolisa namanye amaziko okhuseleko namasiko .
Amazwe amahlanu angamalungu oLuntu lwaseMpuma Afrika ajoyinwa yi-Ethiopia kumnatha olungelelanisiweyo, oquka iibhloko zendlela, ukusetyenziswa kweenja ezincancayo, ukubek'esweni kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya nakwimida yomhlaba kunye ne-swoops ngequbuliso kwiindawo zokuthengiselana ezaziwayo.
Malunga ne-1.2 yeetoni zizonke zaye zathathwa kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya, apho igazi lendlovu ngamanye amaxesha lalifihlwa phakathi kwezinye izinto zemithwalo ezazisetyenziselwa ukuthunyelwa kwaye kurhanelwa ukuba zenzelwe i-China kunye namanye amazwe alambe ngeempondo zendlovu e-Far nase-South East.
Ngokukodwa, abemi abathathu baseTshayina babephakathi kwabo babanjiweyo, ngelixa abarhanelwa abavela kuLuntu lwaseMpuma Afrika nabo babanjwa kwaye baveliswa enkundleni ukuze batshutshiswe.
Imithombo ecela ukungaziwa phakathi kwesangqa solawulo lwezilwanyana zasendle eMpuma Afrika sityhola ukukhululeka kokuvalwa korhwebo lweemveliso zeendlovu, ezicelwe ngamazwe akuMazantsi e-Afrika, malunga nokwanda kokuzingelwa ngokungekho mthethweni, ngomthombo omnye ngokukodwa ukwenza kucace gca ukuba ngokoluvo lwakhe Imiba inxulumene ngqo kwaye ukuzingelwa ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokuthutyeleziswa kwendlovu kuhlala kusanda nanini na xa amazwe akuMazantsi eAfrika enikwa isaphulelo sokurhweba oko kubizwa ngokuba yindlovu esemthethweni.
EKenya kuphela, ngenxa yokususwa kokuvalwa kwezorhwebo, ukuzingelwa ngokungekho mthethweni kweendlovu kuye kwaphindaphindeka kane xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka wangaphambi kokuvalwa komthetho, kubangela inkxalabo eyoneleyo yokuchasa ngamandla ngakumbi le mvume ikhethekileyo kwiminyaka ezayo.
Ezinye iindebe zomdlalo, njengezikhumba zengwe, nazo zafunyanwa kulo msebenzi.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Imithombo ecela ukungaziwa phakathi kwesangqa solawulo lwezilwanyana zasendle eMpuma Afrika sityhola ukukhululeka kokuvalwa korhwebo lweemveliso zeendlovu, ezicelwe ngamazwe akuMazantsi e-Afrika, malunga nokwanda kokuzingelwa ngokungekho mthethweni, ngomthombo omnye ngokukodwa ukwenza kucace gca ukuba ngokoluvo lwakhe Imiba inxulumene ngqo kwaye ukuzingelwa ngokungekho mthethweni kunye nokuthutyeleziswa kwendlovu kuhlala kusanda nanini na xa amazwe akuMazantsi eAfrika enikwa isaphulelo sokurhweba oko kubizwa ngokuba yindlovu esemthethweni.
- EKenya kuphela, ngenxa yokususwa kokuvalwa kwezorhwebo, ukuzingelwa ngokungekho mthethweni kweendlovu kuye kwaphindaphindeka kane xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka wangaphambi kokuvalwa komthetho, kubangela inkxalabo eyoneleyo yokuchasa ngamandla ngakumbi le mvume ikhethekileyo kwiminyaka ezayo.
- 2 tons in total were in fact confiscated at airports, where the blood ivory was at times hidden among other cargo items readied for shipment and suspected to be destined for China and other ivory-hungry countries in the Far and South East.
