UMongameli waseZanzibar ukhuthaza uphuhliso lwezothutho lomoya eAfrika

Ejonge ukutsala abakhenkethi abaninzi abavela ngaphakathi kweAfrika nakwamanye amazwekazi, uMongameli waseZanzibar wayethethelele uphuhliso olukhawulezileyo lwesibhakabhaka saseAfrika kwiinqwelomoya zaseAfrika.

UMongameli waseZanzibar uGqirha Ali Mohamed Shein uthe iinqwelomoya ezingezizo ezaseAfrika ziye zalawula isibhakabhaka selizwekazi kunye nentengiso yezophapho ixesha elide. Wafuna iinzame ezingakumbi zokwenza abathwali bomoya base-Afrika bavuseleleke ngakumbi ukuze bakhuphisane neenqwelomoya zangaphandle.

"Kucacile ukuba i-80 yeepesenti ye-market ye-air market yase-Afrika ilawulwa yi-airlines engabhaliswanga e-Afrika," uDkt Shein watshela abathunywa bendibano yeentsuku ezintathu ze-7th African Airlines Association (AFRAA) e-Zanzibar.

Uthe kwingxelo efundwe ngexesha lokuvula le ndibano, ukuba ukhenketho kunye noshishino lweenqwelomoya luphakathi kwamacandelo ezoqoqosho akhula ngokukhawuleza kwilizwekazi laseAfrika anesidingo esikhulu sokuphuculwa kokungena kwabakhenkethi kunye nokwandiswa kweenqwelomoya ngemibutho.

UMongameli waseZanzibar ugxininise ukuba imboni yezomoya idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekukhawuleziseni ukukhula koqoqosho kunye nokubonelela ngeenzuzo ezahlukeneyo zoqoqosho nezentlalo kwilizwekazi.

“Ezothutho ngeenqwelomoya kunye nokhenketho ziphakathi kwawona macandelo akhula ngokukhawuleza kwihlabathi. Sonke siyayazi into yokuba, ukhenketho kunye nohambo zizinto ezingenakwahlulwa. La mashishini mabini ayancedisana,” utshilo.

Ukwenza ireferensi kwiWorld Travel and Tourism Council's (WTTC) Ingxelo yeMpembelelo yezoQoqosho yowama-2018, uGqr Shein uthe iminyaka yesixhenxe ilandelelana, uhambo kunye nokhenketho lube negalelo elikhulu kwi-GDP yehlabathi.

“Ngo-2028, amashishini okhenketho kunye nokhenketho kulindeleke ukuba axhase imisebenzi engaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-400 kumyinge omnye ukuya kwesithoba kuyo yonke imisebenzi,” utshilo.

UMongameli weZiqithi ugxininise imfuneko yokusebenza ngokubhekiselele kwi-Afrika ehlangeneyo neqhagamsheleneyo kwaye wacela umngeni kubathathi-nxaxheba beNgqungquthela yesi-7 ye-AFRAA ukuba baqulunqe izicwangciso ezitsha zokukhuthaza ulawulo olululo loqhagamshelwano phakathi kwe-Afrika ukunyusa ukukhuphisana kwiinzuzo ezinkulu phakathi kweenqwelo-moya zase-Afrika.

Uxelele abathathi-nxaxheba bendibano ukuba baxoxe ngemingeni ejongene necandelo lezothutho lomoya kwilizwekazi ukuze beze nezisombululo eziza kudala i-Afrika ehlangeneyo, enempumelelo nenoxolo, yonwabele ukuhamba okuphezulu kwabakhenkethi kunye necandelo lezomoya elikhulayo.

UGqr. Shein wazisa abathunywa ukuba ngokweenkcukacha-manani zakutsha nje zeWorld Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), icandelo lezokhenketho kunye nezokuhamba ngeenqwelomoya ahlala omelele ukukhulisa ingqesho kunye noqoqosho lwehlabathi.

Ukhenketho lunakho ukuba lelona qela livelisa ingeniso kwilizwekazi emva kwe-oyile negesi, kodwa amazwe ase-Afrika akakawasebenzisi ngokupheleleyo amandla alo, utshilo.

Unobhala jikelele we-AFRAA u-Abderahmane Berthé uthe le ngqungquthela, enesihloko esithi "UkuSebenzisa amaThuba okuPhatha kwe-Aviation e-Afrika", yenzelwe abachaphazelekayo beenqwelomoya ukuba bacinge ngamathuba kunye nemingeni ejongene neshishini.
UMnu. Berthe uthe icandelo linegalelo elibalulekileyo kuphuhliso loqoqosho e-Afrika ngokwandisa imisebenzi yorhwebo kunye nokwenza ukuba abakhweli neempahla bahambe ngokukhawuleza nangokulula. Uthe nangona kunjalo kukho imingeni emininzi equka iindleko eziphezulu zokusebenza kunye nokhuphiswano lwabathwali abangengabo abeAfrika.

“Amazwe ase-Afrika ngokusebenzisa i-AFRAA kufuneka aqinisekise utyalo-mali olukhulu kwicandelo lezophapho ngokuphucula iziseko ezingundoqo ezikhoyo”, wongeze watsho.

Uninzi lwamazwe ase-Afrika anikwe ubutyebi bendalo kodwa amandla awo okutsala ukhenketho akufikelelwanga ngenxa yokuhlwempuzeka okanye ukunqongophala kweenkonzo zokubhabha, utshilo uBerthe.

Usekela-mongameli we-International Air Transport Association (IATA) uRaphael Kuuchi uxelele abathunywa beNgqungquthela ukuba oorhulumente kufuneka baphumeze iinkqubo zokuxhasa uphuhliso lwecandelo lezomoya.

Uthe amazwe aseAfrika afumana imali engaphaya kwamashumi asixhenxe anesibini eebhiliyoni zeerandi kushishino lwezophapho ngokonyuka kwamanani abakhenkethi abatyelela kweli lizwekazi ngonyaka.

Umnumzana Kuuchi uthe i-Afrika kufuneka ijongane nengxaki yeziseko zophuhliso esondelayo ngakumbi njengoko imfuno yothutho lomoya ikhula.

Ulumkise ngelithi izicwangciso zophuhliso azilungiswanga kakuhle ukuze i-Afrika ixhamle kubakhweli beenqwelo-moya abazibhiliyoni ezisi-7.2 ekulindeleke ukuba babhabhe kule minyaka ingama-20 izayo.

Iinkcazo-ntetho kwingqungquthela ye-AFRAA zibandakanya izihloko ezifana nokukhula kunye nenzuzo kwindawo ekhululekileyo, ukuthutha ngeenqwelo moya kwindawo edibeneyo, ukusetyenziswa kwedatha ukuguqula ishishini lokuhamba ngeenqwelomoya, ukuphunyezwa ngokufanelekileyo kothutho lomoya omnye waseAfrika, kunye nophuhliso oluzinzileyo lweziseko zophuhliso lweAfrika.

Indibano yabathathi-nxaxheba be-AFRAA kunyaka ophelileyo ibibanjelwe eHammamet, eTunisia ngoCanzibe phantsi komxholo othi 'Intsebenziswano yohlumo oluzinzileyo lwezophapho e-Afrika.

Isiqithi sase-Indian Ocean saseZanzibar siye sakhanga i-479,242 kunyaka odlulileyo xa kuthelekiswa ne-433,166 kwi-2016, kunye nenani labakhenkethi kulindeleke ukuba linyuke ngeepesenti ze-14.2 ukuya ubuncinane be-500,000 abafikayo kwiminyaka emibini ezayo.
