Ingcaphephe ekhokelayo yezilwanyana zasendle kunye nolondolozo lwendalo yaseTanzania iwongiwe

Ukuqaphela indima ebalaseleyo kunye nokuzinikela komntu ekulondolozweni kwezilwanyana zasendle eTanzania naseAfrika, abadlali bokhenketho baseTanzania baye babiza uMkomishinala woLondolozo lweNgorongoro ekuqaleni kwale nyanga uGqirha uFreddy Manongi, esithi ungumfanekiso waseTanzania wolondolozo oluzinzileyo.

Amalungu e-Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) abize uGqr.

I-Ngorongoro Conservation Area iphezulu phakathi kweendawo ezikhangayo eTanzania kunye nommandla waseMpuma Afrika, ukutsala izihlwele zabakhenkethi minyaka yonke.  

“Abakhenkethi eTanzania babona uGqr. Manongi njengengqwayi-ngqwayi yolondolozo lwendalo ephumeze ekukhuseleni, ekwandiseni nasekukhuthazeni awona thixo uxatyisiweyo welizwe, utshilo iGosa eliyiNtloko yeTATO uSirili Akko.

Ukusukela oko waqeshwa kwisikhundla akuso ngoku, uGqr. Manongi ebeqhuba uGunyaziwe woLondolozo olulawulwa nguRhulumente ngobuchule, ubuchule, ukuzinikela nokunyaniseka, utshilo uAkko.

Ummandla woLondolozo lweNgorongoro uye wavotelwa njengeyona ndawo ibalaseleyo yabakhenkethi basekhaya, abakhenkethi bengingqi nabamazwe ngamazwe, okonyusa indawo yaseTanzania nomfanekiso wayo phezulu phakathi kwezona ndawo zokutyelela zibalaseleyo kwihlabathi.

UGqr. Manongi, isazi sezilwanyana zasendle esiqeqeshwe kakhulu kunye nolondolozo lwendalo naye, uphumelele ukuphuhlisa i-Geo-tourism ngaphakathi kwendawo yolondolozo. Olu hlobo lutsha lokhenketho lugcina kwaye luphucula iindawo ezikhethekileyo zejografi kunye nokusingqongileyo kwendalo, ilifa lemveli kunye nenkcubeko kukhenketho.

I-Ngorongoro-Lengai yi-Geopark yokuqala eMpuma Afrika, kodwa ikwayindawo ehamba phambili yokhenketho lwe-geo e-Afrika emazantsi eSahara. Liyesibini eAfrika emva kweM'Goun eMorocco.

I-Ngorongoro-Lengai Geopark igubungela ummandla oziikhilomitha ezili-12,000 zeenduli ezinamatye, imiqolomba emide engaphantsi komhlaba, amachibi amachibi kunye neendawo zokufunyanwa kwe-hominid.

I-Ngorongoro-Lengai Geopark iquka amangcwaba aseDatoga amandulo; Ukugquma kweNdlela yaseCaldera, phakathi kwezinye iisayithi, iLali yase-Irkepus, iNdlu yaseJamani endala, iHippo Pool kunye nemithombo yaseSeneto, iVolcano yaseOldonyo-Lengai esebenzayo kunye neMpakai Crater.

UGqr. Manongi waziwa kwaye uhlonitshiwe ngeenzame zakhe zokuphucula iziseko ezingundoqo kunye nephulo lokuthengisa elinyuse inani labakhenkethi ingeniso ethe yanyuswa, ngokuyinxenye ekwabelwana ngayo ngabahlali baseMaasai abahlala kwindawo yolondolozo.

INdawo yoLondolozo lweNgorongoro ikwayindawo ekukholelwa ukuba umntu wokuqala wavela khona kwaye ngokwenene waphila izigidi zeminyaka. Apha kulapho uluntu lonke lwehlabathi belungathanda ukulandelela iingcambu zookhokho babo.

Ngoku imi kwindawo ehamba phambili yelifa lehlabathi kuMntla weTanzania, ithatha iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuthengisa ukutsala abakhenkethi abaninzi.

Indawo yoLondolozo ikwachatshazelwe ngubhubhani we-COVID-19, njengazo zonke ezinye iindawo emhlabeni, kodwa ngoku iphumeza iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokunciphisa iimpembelelo zesifo sehlabathi.

Ukusabela kule meko, abaphathi bendawo bebethatha amanyathelo awohlukeneyo ukumelana nale meko ukunciphisa iimpembelelo zobhubhani we-Covid-19 kukhenketho.

Inani labakhenkethi abafikayo kwiNCAA phakathi kukaJulayi no-Okthobha kulo nyaka (2021) lafikelela kwi-147,276 yabatyeleli, oko kuphakamisa ithemba elitsha lokuchacha ngokukhawuleza kokhenketho kwiimpembelelo zobhubhani we-Covid-19.

INgorongoro ihleli ivulekile ukuba ingatyelelwa, kodwa amanyathelo okhuseleko ayathathwa ukuze kuqinisekwe ukhuseleko lwabo batyeleli kunye nabasebenzi bendawo. Inani labakhenkethi abandwendwela uMmandla woLondolozo liyakhula ukugcina iwonga langaphambili.

Abaphathi beNCAA bebesoloko belumkisa ngobhubhane kunye neendlela zothintelo losulelo, ngenjongo yokutsala abakhenkethi ukuba batyelele lo mmandla.

IDubai Tourism Expo ngoku eqhubeka kwi-United Arab Emirates (UAE) ngomnye umboniso wezoKhenketho wamazwe ngamazwe apho abathunywa beNCAA bathatha inxaxheba. 

I-NCAA ihlala iyindawo eyodwa yeLifa leMveli yeHlabathi apho abantu bomthonyama bahlala ngokuvisisana nezilwanyana zasendle.

Iiprojekthi zeenkonzo zentlalontle ziyenziwa ngaphakathi kwindawo yolondolozo ukuze kuxhamle uluntu lwaseMaasai apho, kwaye oku kubandakanya ezemfundo, ezempilo, amanzi, ulwandiso lwemfuyo kunye neenkqubo ezenza ingeniso.

Ukukhokela ulondolozo kunye nokwabelana ngenzuzo yoluntu, i-Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority ixhase abasetyhini baseMaasai ukuba baseke inyathelo lokungenisa ingeniso yabasetyhini elijolise ekutsaleni nasekuvuseleleni abantu basetyhini kwimisebenzi yophuhliso.

I-NCAA igqibe ulwakhiwo olukhulu nokulungiswa kwezinye zeziseko zophuhliso zeCrater ukuze kuhlaliswe abakhenkethi abaninzi, ekulindeleke ukuba batyelele lo mmandla kulo nyaka (2022).

Indlela eyi-4.2 yeekhilomitha ubude edibanisa i-Seneto ne-Ngorongoro Crater iye yakhiwa nge-bitumen engeyiyo ibhitumene, kodwa izinto ezenziwe ngamatye aqinileyo ezisetyenziswa ekulungiseni indlela ukukhusela okusingqongileyo ngaphakathi koMmandla woLondolozo.

Ulawulo lwe-NCAA lumisele izicwangciso zokuxhobisa abasebenzi bayo ngoqeqesho lokubaxhobisa ngolwazi nezakhono zobubele ukuze bancede abakhenkethi, abatyali-mali kunye nabanye abathengi okanye abathengi ngaphakathi kwiNdawo yoLondolozo.

Phantsi kwenkxaso yokufikelela eluntwini ngenkqubo “yoBumelwane obulungileyo”, iNCAA iye yaseka iprojekthi yokugcinwa kweenyosi emva koko yabonelela ngezisele zeenyosi ezili-150, izikhongozeli zobusi, izixhobo zokukhusela kunye nokuthengisa iimveliso ezinxulumene nokufuywa kweenyosi kuluntu lwasekuhlaleni kwiSithili saseKaratu.

Iiprojekthi zokufikelela eluntwini zijoliswe ekuqiniseni ingeniso yoluntu. Oku kuquka imisebenzi yezandla kunye nolonwabo lwenkcubeko olujolise ekutsaleni abakhenkethi abatyelela le ndawo bathatha inxaxheba baze banyuse ingeniso kuluntu lwasekuhlaleni.

INdawo yoLondolozo lweNgorongoro yindawo ekhethekileyo yeLifa leMveli yeHlabathi apho abantu bomthonyama bahlala ngokumanyeneyo nezilwanyana zasendle.
