NgoJanuwari 25, 2022, umhambi wanyathelwa wabhubha yindlovu Uganda's Murchison Falls National Park, ngelixa edlula epakini ukuya kwidolophu Arua e West Nile.

Ingxelo ekhutshwe nguBashir Hangi Igunya lezilwanyana zasendle laseUganda (UWA) Umphathi woNxibelelwano ufunda ngokuyinxenye:

“Silusizi ukwazisa uluntu ukuba kukho umntu omnye obulewe yindlovu eMurchison Falls National Park. Esi sehlo esingelishwa senzeke namhlanje ngentsimbi yeshumi elinanye ekuseni. Umfi u-Ayman Sayed Elshahany ongummi waseSaudi Arabia, ekunye noogxa bakhe abathathu bebehamba ngenqwelo yesikhululo sakwaToyota Wish Motor Vehicle No. UBJ11 besuka kwidolophu yaseMasindi ebumelwaneni, bedlula kule paki besiya eArua City eWest Nile. Bamisa endleleni umfi waphuma ngemoto. Indlovu yamtyhola ngokumbulala ngoko nangoko. Sibuhlungu ngesi sehlo, kwaye sidlulisa uvelwano olunzulu kusapho nezihlobo zomfi.”

Esi sehlo sibi saxelwa kumaPolisa asePakwach kwaye i-UWA isebenzisana namapolisa ukuqinisekisa ukuba lo mba uyaphandwa ngokupheleleyo.

Abaphathi beepaki babongoza uluntu, ngakumbi abo badlula kwiindawo ezikhuselweyo ukuba balumke baphephe ukuzibeka engozini.

I-UWA iphonononga iiprothokholi zokhuseleko ukuziphucula ukunqanda ukuphinda kwezehlo ezinje kwaye iqinisekise uluntu ukuba iipaki zaseUganda zihlala zikhuselekile kubo bonke abatyeleli.

Xa wayecelwa ukuba athathele ingqalelo ukuba esi siganeko sasinokuthintelwa njani na uMongameli we-Uganda Tourist Association (UTA) uHerbert Byaruhanga okwanguSihlalo weCandelo leZakhono zoKhenketho uthe:

“Kufanele kubekho umntu omkhulu kuwo onke amasango apho abantu bahlawulela ukungena. Lo mntu unikwe umsebenzi wokwazisa nabani na ongena
Ipaki yelizwe. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba bakuba bexelelwe abantu, banikele ingqalelo. Kwakhona, kufuneka kubekho iikhamera zesantya eMurchison Falls National Park. Iikhamera zesantya ezisebenza ngamandla elanga ziya kwazisa amagosa ezendlela kwikomkhulu. Kufuneka kubekho amaphecana emnyango
ekufuneka inikwe wonke umkhenkethi ongena epakini ”

Iindlovu zaseAfrika zezona zilwanyana zasemhlabeni zikhulu emhlabeni, ezinobunzima obuya kutsho kwiitoni ezintandathu. Makhulu kancinane kunabazala babo baseAsia kwaye banokubonwa ngeendlebe zabo ezinkulu ezikhangeleka ngathi lilizwekazi laseAfrika. (Iindlovu zaseAsia zineendlebe ezincinci ezingqukuva).

Nangona zazinexesha elide zidityanisiwe njengodidi olunye, izazinzulu ziye zafumanisa ukuba kukho iindidi ezimbini zeendlovu zaseAfrika—yaye zombini zisengozini yokuphela. Iindlovu zeSavanna zizilwanyana ezikhulu ezizulazula kumathafa ase-Afrika ekwi-sub-Sahara, ngelixa iindlovu zamahlathi zizilwanyana ezincinci ezihlala kumahlathi akuMbindi nakwiNtshona Afrika.

IManyano yaMazwe ngaMazwe yoLondolozo lweNdalo idwelisa iindlovu ze-savanna njengeengozi yokuphela kunye neendlovu zamahlathi njengezisengozini enkulu.

Kukho malunga ne-5,000 yeendlovu ngaphakathi Uganda namhlanje. Zifumaneka kakhulu kumhlaba weKidepo Valley, Murchison-Semliki, kunye neGreater Virunga Landscape ezineendlovu zehlathi ezindlongondlongo kakhulu kwihlathi laseKibale, kwiHlathi elingenakungeneka leBwindi kunye
INtaba iRuwenzori National Park.
