Ngicela Bamba Izigqila

nguMark J. Spalding, uMongameli 

Sabona ukunqoba kolwandle ngo-2015. Njengoba unyaka ka-2016 udlula, kusibiza ukuthi sidlule kulokho kukhishwa kwezindaba futhi senze isenzo. Ezinye zezinselele zidinga izinyathelo zokulawula zikahulumeni ezisezingeni eliphezulu ezaswe ngochwepheshe. Ezinye zidinga inzuzo ehlangene yokuthi sonke sizibophezele ezenzweni ezizosiza ulwandle. Ezinye zidinga kokubili.

Ukudoba olwandle oluphakeme kuyimboni eyinselele ngokwemvelo futhi eyingozi. Ukuphoqelela uhlaka lwemithetho eklanyelwe ukunciphisa izingozi kubasebenzi kwenziwa kube nzima kakhulu ngebanga nangesilinganiso—futhi ngokuvamile, ukuntuleka kwentando yezombangazwe yokuhlinzeka ngezinsiza zabantu kanye nezezimali ezidingekayo. Ngokufanayo, isidingo sokukhetha imenyu ehlukahlukene ngezindleko eziphansi, sikhuthaza abahlinzeki ukuthi banciphise amakhona lapho kungenzeka khona. Ubugqila olwandle abuyona inkinga entsha, kodwa buthola ukunakwa okuvuselelwe ngenxa yokuzikhandla kwabameli abangenzi nzuzo, ukwandisa ukusakazwa kwemithombo yezindaba, futhi, ngokulandelayo, ukwanda kokuhlolwa okuvela ezinkampanini nakohulumeni.

Ngakho-ke yini esingayenza njengabantu ngabanye ngobugqila olwandle?  Okokuqala, singayeka ukudla izimfanzi ezivela kwamanye amazwe. Kukhona izimfanzi ezincane kakhulu ezingeniswa e-United States ezingenawo umlando wokuhlukumeza amalungelo abantu kanye nobugqila obuqondile. Amazwe amaningi ayabandakanyeka, kodwa iThailand ithola ukunakwa okukhethekile ngeqhaza lobugqila nomsebenzi ophoqelelwe ezimbonini zayo zokudla kwasolwandle nezasemanzini. Imibiko yakamuva ikhombise ukusebenza ngempoqo “emashedeni okuhlubula” lapho izimfanzi zilungiselelwa imakethe yegrosa e-US. Nokho, ngisho nangaphambi kwezigaba zokulima nokucubungula, ubugqila buqala ngokudla kwezimfanzi.

Ubugqila budlangile emikhumbini yokudoba yase-Thai, edoba izinhlanzi nezinye izilwane zasolwandle, izigaye zibe wukudla kwezinhlanzi okuzophakelwa izimfanzi ezifuywayo ezithunyelwa e-US. Le mikhumbi iphinde ibambe ngokungakhethi—ihlalisa izinkulungwane zamathani ezingane nezilwane ezingenayo enye inzuzo yezentengiselwano okufanele zishiywe olwandle ukuze zikhule futhi zizalane. Ukuhlukunyezwa kwabasebenzi kuyaqhubeka kulo lonke uchungechunge lokunikezwa kwezimfanzi, kusukela ekubambeni kuya kwelinye. Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe, bheka iphepha elimhlophe elisha le-The Ocean Foundation "Ubugqila kanye ne-Shrimp ePlate Yakho" kanye nekhasi locwaningo lwe Amalungelo Abantu kanye noLwandle.

Ingxenye yezimfanzi ethunyelwa e-US ivela eThailand. I-UK nayo iyimakethe ebalulekile, ibala amaphesenti angu-7 ezimfanzi zaseThailand ezithunyelwa ngaphandle. Abathengisi kanye nohulumeni wase-US bafake ingcindezi kuhulumeni waseThailand, kodwa kuncane okushintshile. Uma nje abantu baseMelika beqhubeka befuna izimfanzi ezivela kwamanye amazwe futhi bengenandaba noma ukuqonda ukuthi zivelaphi, asikho isikhuthazo esincane sokuthuthukisa imikhuba phansi noma emanzini. Kulula kakhulu ukuxuba okusemthethweni nokudla kwasolwandle okungekho emthethweni, ngakho-ke kuyinselele enkulu kunoma yimuphi umthengisi ukuze aqiniseke ukuthi uyafuna. isigqila izimfanzi kuphela.

Ngakho yenza isinqumo solwandle: Yeqa izimfanzi ezingenisiwe.
