IMaasai yatyhola abantu baseTanzania ngokucandwa kwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nokuzingela abakhenkethi abazizingela eLoliondo Game Controlled Area.
Uluntu lwaseMaasai lwalufake isimangalo ngaphambili, lufuna amalungelo okumisa urhulumente waseTanzania kwinkqubo yakhe eqhubekayo yokuphuhlisa iindawo ezintsha zokhenketho ngokucandwa kwendawo yezilwanyana zasendle ukuze kuphuhliswe ukhenketho.
NgoLwesihlanu wale veki, inkundla yengingqi yaseMpuma Afrika igqibe kwelokuba isigqibo seTanzania sokuvala lo mhlaba kukhuselwana ngawo ukuze kukhuselwe izilwanyana zasendle sisemthethweni, sithomalalisa abafuyi abangamaMaasai abaqhankqalaze eli nyathelo, atsho amagqwetha amabini abahlali.
Kodwa urhulumente uzikhabile ezi zityholo, esithi ufuna "ukukhusela" i-1,500 yeekhilomitha (580 square miles) yendawo kwimisebenzi yabantu.
Abafuyi abangamaMaasai bacele, ngamagqwetha abo, inkundla yaseMpuma Afrika ukuba iwuyeke umsebenzi worhulumente waseTanzania wokucanda iLoliondo Game Controlled Area ukuze kugcinwe ulondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nophuhliso lokhenketho kulo mmandla.

Inani lemfuyo likhule laya kutsho ngaphezu kwesigidi esinye, licinezela indawo yolondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle kunye nendawo yabakhenkethi.
