JOHANNESBURG – Isebe lezokhenketho eMzantsi Afrika liyalele ukuba kuphandwe kwizityholo zokuthi amaxabiso ehotele eNdebe yeHlabathi aphakame ngokungekho ngqiqweni.
Ezi zityholo zixhalabisa abasebenzi beehotele kunye nabanye abakwishishini lezokhenketho eMzantsi Afrika, ababize inkomfa yeendaba ngoLwesibini ukuze bazikhanyele ngosuku emva kokuba uMphathiswa wezoKhenketho uMarthinus Van Schalkwyk ebhengeze uphando olusemthethweni.
Amalungu eBhunga loShishino lwezoKhenketho eMzantsi Afrika, igqiza lezoshishino, athi aqinisekile ukuba uphando oluzimeleyo luza kungqina ukuba uninzi lwabo alukhohlakali.
Iinkokheli zamashishini zibongoze abemi boMzantsi Afrika ukuba bangazixhamli ithuba lokundwendwela iNdebe yeHlabathi, besithi ukugqwayiza kuyakwenza ukuba abakhenkethi bangabuyi.
UJabu Mabuza, usihlalo webhodi yenkampani karhulumente yophuhliso lokhenketho eMzantsi Afrika nongumlawuli oyintloko kwihotele yesizwe kunye nekhasino, uthe uMzantsi Afrika uneehotele eziphucukileyo, iindawo zokutyela kunye neendawo ezinomtsalane ezikhuphisana nazo naphi na kwihlabathi. Uthe isicwangciso asikokuthengisa ilizwe njengexabiso eliphantsi, kodwa njengendawo apho umhambi anokufumana ixabiso lemali.
“Kuyasiphazamisa kakhulu … ukuba kukho abantu ekuxelwe ukuba banyuke amaxabiso kathathu,” uxelele iintatheli kutsha nje. “Ngumbono omfutshane kakhulu. Ndicinga ukuba, ngokuphandle, bubudenge.”
Akukho mntu uphikisana namaxabiso aya kuba phezulu ngexesha leNdebe yeHlabathi, kodwa umbuzo ngowokuba yintoni esengqiqweni.
“Kwiiveki ezidlulileyo siqaphele izityholo zokuba iindawo zokuhlala kwishishini lezokhenketho azinaxanduva, kwaye zinyusa amaxabiso ngokugqithisileyo,” utshilo umphathiswa wezokhenketho kwingxelo yangoMvulo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku sicinga ukuba akunjalo, kodwa sikholelwa ukuba kufuneka kuphandwe kwaye iziphumo zophando zenziwe esidlangalaleni.
Isithethi soMphathiswa uRonel Bester uthe ngoLwesibini kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuba singatsho ukuba leliphi inyathelo elinokuthi lithathwe ukuba amaxabiso abonwa aphezulu kakhulu. Olu phando luza kuqhutywa yinkampani yabucala, iGrant Thornton, ebonelela ngocazululo lomngcipheko, iinkonzo zemali nezinye iinkonzo kumashishini aseMzantsi Afrika kwaye ibisoloko ibeka iliso elibukhali iimeko zoqoqosho lweNdebe yeHlabathi.
Uphononongo lwamaxabiso ehotele lulandela uphando olubhengezwe kwinyanga ephelileyo ukuba ingaba iinkampani zeenqwelomoya zoMzantsi Afrika ziyasebenzisana na ukunyusa amaxabiso ngexesha lenyanga yeNdebe yeHlabathi eqala nge-11 kaJuni. unenkundla enegunya lokuwisa izohlwayo nezinye izohlwayo. Othethe egameni lale komishini uKeitumetse Letebele, uthi akukacaci ukuba kuza kuqukunjelwa nini uphando ngeenqwelomoya.
Ukuhlolwa kwe-Intanethi kubonise inqwelomoya esuka eRhawutini isiya eKapa eza kuxabisa i-870 yeerandi ngoLwesibini ibiza 1,270 ngosuku emva kokuqala kweNdebe yeHlabathi. Igumbi kwihotele ephakathi kufutshane nesikhululo seenqwelomoya saseRhawutini elixabisa i-1,145 leerandi ngobusuku bangoLwesibini linokuba sisinye esithathwini ngaphezulu ngexesha leWord Cup.
Iinkokeli zamashishini okhenketho zithe amaxabiso aphezulu abonisa imfuno ephezulu. Bathi nangona iNdebe yeHlabathi ikwixesha lobusika boMzantsi Afrika, idla ngokuba lixesha eliphantsi, kodwa iza kuthathwa njengesizini ephezulu ngenxa yale tumente.
UMmatsatsi Marobe, ingqonyela yeBhunga loShishino lwezoKhenketho eMzantsi Afrika uzivumile iziganeko “ezingaqhelekanga” zokunyotywa, kodwa wagxininisa ukuba azisasazeki.
“Imakethi ichaza amaxabiso abantu abawabizayo,” utshilo, kwaye wongeze isilumkiso kwabo bacinga ukuba imakethi yeNdebe yeHlabathi inokuthwala nantoni na: “Ukuba uza kuhlawuliswa kakhulu, qikelela ukuba yintoni na, igumbi lakho liza kuba lingenanto.
UMarobe ucebise abathengi ukuba bathenge kufutshane, bajonge i-Intanethi kwaye bathelekise izinto ezinikezelwa ziinkampani zokhenketho.
U-Jaime Byrom, usihlalo olawulayo we-MATCH, onikwe imbopheleleko yibhodi yebhola ekhatywayo yamazwe ngamazwe ngokuququzelela indawo yokuhlala ngexesha leNdebe yeHlabathi, uvele ecaleni kukaMarobe kwinkomfa yeendaba yangoLwesibini.
U-Byrom uthe xa kuthelekiswa neetumente zangaphambili zaseYurophu, iNdebe yeHlabathi yalo nyaka ayisayi kuba nexabiso eliphantsi. Abantu baseYurophu abaqhele ukutsiba bewela umda ukuya kwimidlalo kuya kufuneka bahambe kakhulu, kwaye oko kubiza ngaphezulu. Ukwabalule ukomelela kwemali yaseMzantsi Afrika.
U-Byrom uthe nakuphi na ukubethwa eMzantsi Afrika akwahlukanga kwinto ekhe yabonwa kwezinye iindebe zehlabathi. Unekhontrakthi neehotele zaseMzantsi Afrika kunye neendawo zokuhlala ukuze abonelele ngamagumbi kubalandeli beNdebe yeHlabathi.
“Ngokuqinisekileyo siye safumana amaxabiso afanelekileyo kunye nemigaqo yoshishino efanelekileyo esiye sakwazi ukuyidlulisela kubathengi bethu,” utshilo, ebiza iingxelo zokugatywa ngokubaxwa.
Xa sele iphumile, ezi ndaba zimbi zibonakala zinemilenze emide kakhulu.
