I-SAN JOSE, eCosta Rica - Ukuwohloka koqoqosho lwehlabathi kunempembelelo kwishishini lokhenketho elidumileyo laseCosta Rica, njengoko inani elikhulayo labasetyhini abangaphangeliyo - ukusuka eColombia ukuya kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican - bethontelana ukuya eSan José ukuya kufuna ukuziphilisa kwihlabathi. eyona profeshini indala.

Kwiindawo ezithandwayo zokuthengisa ngomzimba ezifana neHotele & Casino Del Rey kunye neKey Largo, oonongogo basekuhlaleni bakhuphisana nokuthontelana kwabafazi basemzini abavela eNicaragua, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Venezuela kunye naseRashiya. Ukwanda kwamanani kunye nokwahluka kwabasetyhini abasebenzayo apha kuye kwaqinisekisa isikhundla saseCosta Rica njengendawo yamazwe ngamazwe yokuthengisa ngomzimba, esemthethweni kwaye elawulwa ngurhulumente ukususela ngo-1894.

Kodwa asinguye wonke umntu ovuyiswayo lukhuphiswano olwandisiweyo, oluthe, kunye noqoqosho lwezivumelwano, lufune ukuba oonongogo abathile bahlise amaxabiso abo malunga nama-40 ukusa kuma-50 ekhulwini.

“Ishishini libi. Ingxaki lukhuphiswano. Ngamanye amaxesha andide ndenze imali eyaneleyo yokukhwela iteksi ndigoduke xa ndiphuma emsebenzini,” utshilo uMayela ongunongogo waseCosta Rica, njengoko emane ezulazula ngasebharini eKey Largo efuna umntu oza kumsebenzela.

Njengabaninzi abathengisa ngomzimba, uMayela, umama oneminyaka engama-36 ubudala ongatshatanga nonemfundo engekagqitywa, waqala ukuthengisa umzimba wakhe ngesondo xa wayekwiminyaka engama-30 ubudala ukuze ondle abantwana bakhe. Emva kweminyaka eliqela ethengisa ngomzimba, wenza imali eyaneleyo yokuthenga indlu encinane aze afundise iintombi zakhe ezintathu kwizikolo ezifanelekileyo. Ekugqibeleni wafumana umsebenzi ongaqeqeshelwanga umsebenzi wendibano kumzi-mveliso, owawuhlawula imali encinane kunokuthengisa ngomzimba kodwa wamkhupha kumsebenzi wolusu awucekisayo.

Kodwa uthe akubekwa emsebenzini ebutsheni balo nyaka, uMayela uthe akukho nto anokuyenza ngaphandle kokubuyela ekunxibeni iziketi ezimfutshane nokusebenza ubusuku obude.

“Ngoku amantombazana asebenza apha amalunga ne-90 ekhulwini kunangaphambili,” utshilo uMayela malunga nesiganeko eKey Largo. Kwaye uninzi lwabo ngabantu basemzini.

Namagqala oonongogo angaphandle ayalubona utshintsho.

“Baninzi abantu baseColombia ngoku. Ngaphambili ubukhulu becala yayingamaTicas [abaseCosta Rica] namaNicas [abaseNicaragua],” watsho uElena, ihenyukazi laseRashiya elaziswa eCosta Rica yindoda yaseBelgium kwiminyaka emihlanu eyadlulayo ukuze asebenze kwiklabhu yokuhluba impahla.

Abanye babafazi bakaSan José ngobusuku beza eCosta Rica benezicwangciso ezinqwenelekayo zobuchwephesha engqondweni. UAna, oneminyaka engama-34 ubudala, uthe usebenze kumzi mveliso wefashoni eColombia kwaye weza eCosta Rica ukuze afumane umsebenzi ofanayo xa uqoqosho luqala ukucotha kwilizwe lakhe lokuzalwa. Wathi akungawufumani umsebenzi eCosta Rica, wabhenela ekubeni ngunongogo.

Nangona ukhenketho eCosta Rica lwehle ngeepesenti ezili-15 kulo nyaka, indawo eseDel Rey kunye neKey Largo - intliziyo kaSan José ebizwa ngokuba yi "Gringo Gulch" - ibonakala ikwazi ukumelana nokuhla. Kubusuku bangoMgqibelo wamva nje, omabini la mabala ebegcwele ngamakhulu amadoda aseMntla Melika, adlala ngothando ebharini kunye nabafazi abagobileyo okanye atshixiza ngokunxila nangokungathintelekiyo kumgangatho wokudanisa ukuze aphile umculo.

Kodwa ngelixa ishishini kwi-Gringo Gulch libonakala lidlamkile ekuqaleni, abanye abafazi bathi amadoda amaninzi abonakala enomdla ekuthengeni ifestile kunokuthenga. Ihenyukazi laseCosta Rican eligama lingu "Cindy" lithi amadoda amaninzi akhangela amava ebhari apho abasetyhini abazidlayo badla ngokuwaqhwaba iiyure ezininzi, kodwa bambalwa abahlawulayo ukuya phezulu emva koko.

UJacobo Schifter, unjingalwazi ophumayo kwiYunivesithi yeSizwe yaseHeredia yaseCosta Rica kunye nombhali weMongers in Heaven, uphando lweshishini lokhenketho lwezesondo eCosta Rica, unika ingxelo yokuba abathengisi bezokhenketho ngokwesondo abazichongileyo bazenzele ezabo inkcubeko, isazisi kunye nezikhundla zefilosofi. kwimiba efana nesondo kunye nobudlelwane.

Kwabaninzi, amanqaku kaSchifter kwincwadi yakhe, indlela yokuziphatha iba likhoboka. Uthi, iCosta Rica, iba “ngumqhankqalazi” yaye isini noonongogo iba sisicombululo sabo sokubanceda “babaleke ubunyani.”

Ngelixa kungekho manani asemthethweni, ngokusekwe kuphando lukaSchifter, uqikelela ukuba baphakathi kwe-10,000 kunye nama-20,000 abathengisi ngemizimba elizweni, kunye nama-25,000 ukuya kuma-50,000 abakhenkethi ngesondo abandwendwela nyaka ngamnye, ama-80 epesenti kubo ngabemi baseMelika.

I-Fundación Rahab, umbutho ongekho phantsi kukarhulumente wase-Costa Rica owaqala ngo-1997 kwaye uncede abasetyhini abamalunga nama-500 ukuba bawushiye umsebenzi baze bafumane omnye umsebenzi, uyavuma ukuba kunzima ukukholisa abantu abakhoyo ngoku oonongogo ukuba bahlale kwinkqubo yabo kunye noqoqosho oludodobalayo.

“Kunzima ukudibanisa amaqela ngoku, kwaye kunzima kwabasetyhini ukuba baphume kubuhenyu kuba besithi, ‘ndizophila ngantoni xa kungekho msebenzi? ” utshilo uLaura Sisa, umququzeleli wenkqubo yeFundación Rahabhi.

Ngokuphathelele uMayela, inkosikazi yaseCosta Rica ebuyele kubuhenyu emva kokuphelelwa ngumsebenzi womzi-mveliso ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uthe uzimisele ukuzincama ukuze akhusele iintombi zakhe ekulandeleni ekhondweni lakhe.

“Ndazihlalisa phantsi iintombi zam ndaza ndazixelela into endiyenzayo,” watsho. “Ndabaxelela ukuba kufuneka bafunde, yaye oko kuyabiza. Kodwa ndisebenza nzima ukuze kungabikho namnye kubo oza kuphelela apha. Oko kuya kuba kubi kakhulu. "
