Umqhubi woKhenketho wase-US Ukhenketho lwaseNtshona, Inkampani yokuhamba ese-Utah. I-Western Leisure ngoku ikulungele ukuthengisa uhambo oluya eZimbabwe kwakhona, emva kokuba umnini Nicole Doherty ethathe uhambo oluya e-Afrika esemazantsi, engena ephuma eVictoria Falls International Airport kwintshona yeZimbabwe.

Ngelixesha lokuwa, wathabatha uhambo olude, wahamba uhambo lokutshona kwelanga kwaye watyibilika kuhambo lwehelikopta ukuze aqonde ngokupheleleyo "umsi odudumayo," njengoko besaziwa njalo, emva kwegama lomthonyama lesiLozi.

UDoherty, waseMidvale, e-Utah, ebengayiqondi loo nto, kodwa ebesebenzisa isihlenga kumanyathelo oluntu necandelo labucala athi, kunye nesikhululo seenqwelomoya, anike iZimbabwe ithemba lendlela yokuphuma kwingxaki yezoqoqosho, kunye nentambiso igama elibi.

Nangona ijongene nokunyuka kwamaxabiso ngama-300 eepesenti, i-Zimbabwe kunyaka ophelileyo ibhale ezona nyanga zili-12 zibalaseleyo kwezokhenketho eVictoria Falls - indawo ekuyiwa kuyo emarike- kunye nemimandla yayo yasentshona ngokubanzi. Ngo-2018, iindwendwe zichithe ubusuku obungama-250,000 bebonke kwiihotele ezili-10 zaseVictoria Falls ezivavanyelwe ingxelo ye-Living Living yase-Afrika, inyuke ngeepesenti ezingama-30 ukusukela ngo-2015. Igumbi lesitokhwe kwidolophu liphindaphindwe kabini kwiminyaka emihlanu. Emva kwemigodi nezolimo, ukhenketho lelona galelo likhulu kuqoqosho lweli. Kwaye uLonely Planet unike iZimbabwe ivoti yokuzithemba, wayibeka phakathi kwamazwe ali-10 azokundwendwela ngo-2019-ngaphandle kwengxaki yekhaya.

Onke la manyathelo ayanceda iZimbabwe ekufumaneni kwakhona into eyayisakuba lishishini lezokhenketho eliqhuba kakuhle.

Isikhululo senqwelomoya samazwe eVictoria Falls esixabisa i-150 yezigidi zeerandi- sixhaswe ngemali-mboleko evela e-China kunye namandla e-1.5 yezigidi zeendwendwe ngonyaka-sisiseko seqhinga leZimbabwe. Yavulwa ngo-Disemba ka-2015 kwaye ngoku inendiza ngqo eAddis Ababa (Ethiopia), eNairobi (Kenya), eWindhoek (Namibia) naseGaborone (eBotswana) amatyeli aliqela ngeveki, kunye neenkonzo zemihla ngemihla eKapa naseRhawutini (eMzantsi Afrika) naseHarare nase Bulawayo (Zimbabwe). Oku kuvumele iiarhente zokuhamba ukuba ziyile iindlela zohambo ezidibanisa indawo ezinamatikiti amakhulu kwilizwekazi ngelixa zigcina amaxesha amafutshane okuhamba. Ilizwe lizinciphisile iimfuno zevisa.

Iihotele, iindawo zokutyela kunye neeresityu zixhamle kwizivumelwano ezinikezwe nguMongameli Emmerson Mnangagwa. Kuthe, ngeyoKwindla kulo nyaka, urhulumente wavala amashishini aseZimbabwe ekuhlawuliseni iidola zaseMelika, wakhulula ushishino lwezokhenketho (kubathengi bangaphandle). Urhulumente ubonelela ngesaphulelo semali yexeshana kwimpahla enkulu engeniswe elizweni ukuze isetyenziselwe ishishini lokhenketho.

UShelley Cox waseVictoria Falls ozinze e-Afrika yoLondolozo lwezohambo uthi ubuncinci iihotele kunye neendawo zokulala ezingama-28 zisebenzise isaphulelo kwintshona yeZimbabwe ukusukela ngo-2016. Isaphulelo "besisisiqhelo," utshilo uBlessing Munyenyiwa, njengoko isindisile inkampani yakhe yokuhamba, Uthando nge-Afrika, "izigidi zeedola" kulwakhiwo lweendawo zokulala kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo. Ngeli xesha, uRoss Kennedy wase-Afrika i-Albida Tourism uthi isaphulelo sikhuthaze ukuphuculwa "okungapheliyo" kwipotfoliyo yakhe yeehotele kunye neevenkile eVictoria Falls. Ukuqhuma kwishishini lokhenketho lwentshona yeZimbabwe kuguqula lo mmandla ube liziko lengqesho kweli lizwe. Ifemu kaMunyenyiwa, umzekelo, yongeze imisebenzi esisigxina eli-160 kunyaka ophelileyo.

Ukuhamba ezindleleni kuye kwalula kwakhona. Ukuqala kuka-Mnangagwa ukulawula ngo-Novemba ka-2017, bekukho into eyayiphantse yema kwangoko koko u-Munyenyiwa akuchaza njengeendlela ezingenamsebenzi zamapolisa eziye zafika kukhenketho lwasekhaya kwaye zabakhubekisa bonke kodwa ngabona bahambi bangaphandle abanzima ukungena kweli lizwe. . Ezinye iindlela eziphambili ziye zaphuculwa, nangona abahlalutyi beshishini besithi kuninzi kakhulu ekufuneka kwenziwe.

Iivisa zabakhenkethi zilula ukuza, utshilo uMunyenyiwa. Kwangoko kulo nyaka, abemi bamanye amazwe angama-32, kubandakanya i-India ne China, banikwe ilungelo lokwenza izicelo zokundwendwela xa befika, kwaye ilizwe likwinkqubo yokuqalisa inkqubo ye-e-visa eya kunciphisa imigca yesikhululo seenqwelomoya.

Onke la manyathelo anceda iZimbabwe ukuba iphinde ivuselele indawo eyayikade iyinkqubela phambili kwezokhenketho. Ukusebenzisana phakathi kwabasemagunyeni, amashishini kunye neeNGO, ucacisa uCox, kwenze ukuba ilizwe "ligcine izilwanyana zasendle kunye nezinto eziphilayo" ngaphandle "kweminyaka yemiceli mngeni." Kwaye izikhokelo zelizwe zohambo zihlala phakathi kwezona zilungileyo kwishishini ngenxa yenkqubo engqongqo yemfundo yeminyaka emine ebandakanya iimviwo ezinamandla kunye nokufunda ixesha elide.

Imiceli mngeni emininzi iyaqhubeka nokubeka esichengeni le nzuzo eZimbabwe, neyabekwa kwindawo eyi-127 kumazwe ayi-141 kwiNgxelo yeHlabathi yoQoqosho yoKhuphiswano lweHlabathi. Urhwaphilizo luxhaphakile - ilizwe latyibilika kwiindawo ezintathu laya kumazwe ali-160 kwali-180 kwiTransparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. Ukucinywa kwamandla kube yinxalenye yobomi bemihla ngemihla. Kwaye xa unikwe imbali yelizwe ngesiquphe, utshintsho lwenyikima kumgaqo-nkqubo wezoqoqosho olukhulu-ukusuka ekuphindaphindeni kwemali ezimeleyo kulo nyaka emva kokusebenzisa idola yaseMelika ishumi leminyaka ukuya kuthintelwa ekwamkelweni kweedola- kunzima ukutsho ngokuzithemba ukuba mide kangakanani imigaqo-nkqubo elungele ukhenketho. iza kuqhubeka.

Okwangoku, okwangoku, abo bakushishino babonakala benethemba. UKennedy uthi ngelixa ukucinywa kombane kuyingxaki enkulu, "iindwendwe zakhe azinalo nofifi lokuba umbane uhambile" kuba "sinezicwangciso ezikhoyo." Okwangoku, ezo zicwangciso zibandakanya iijeneli zedizili, kodwa inkampani yakhe ijonge ukuthatha isibonelelo sesaphulelo semfanelo sokufaka isityalo selanga se-500 kVA (ithegi yexabiso: $ 600,000) eya kuthi ihlangabezane nazo zonke iimfuno zayo zamandla kwaye ide iyeke ukuthengisa amandla igridi yesizwe. Urhwaphilizo, ukhuphiswano kunye noqoqosho kuzobanzima ukulungisa, kodwa urhulumente uye waqonda, utshilo uMunyenyiwa, ukuba ezokhenketho “yeyona ndlela ikhawulezayo yokudala imisebenzi kwaye ingenise imali yamanye amazwe.”

I-Victoria Falls-iphindwe kabini kwaye i-500 yeeyadi ububanzi kune-Niagara Falls, kunye nebhonasi eyongeziweyo yeendlovu kunye neengonyama ezihamba ngeenxa zonke zonxweme-zibubungqina bokuba.

UMTHOMBO: EIN

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

Xa uMnangagwa wangena kulawulo ngoNovemba ka-2017, kuye kwamiswa ngoko nangoko kwinto echazwa nguMunyenyiwa “njengezithintelo” zamapolisa “ezingenamsebenzi” eziye zaphazamisa ukhenketho lwasekhaya kwaye zabatyhafisa bonke kodwa abona bahambi bangaphandle basweleke kakhulu ukuba bangene elizweni. .
Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, abemi bamazwe angama-32 angakumbi, kuquka i-Indiya neTshayina, banikwe ilungelo lokufaka izicelo zee-visa xa befika, kwaye ilizwe likwinkqubo yokuqalisa inkqubo ye-e-visa eya kunciphisa imigca yeenqwelo-moya.
Ngelixa kwiingxangxasi, wathatha uhambo lokuhamba ngenqanawa, wahamba ngohambo lokutshona kwelanga kwaye wahamba ngenqwelo-ntaka ukuya kuxabisa ngokupheleleyo “umsi odudumayo,” njengoko besaziwa njalo, emva kwegama lemveli lamaLozi.
