UQHAGAMSHELO OLULUHLAZA UPHENDULU--UMPHATHISWA CREECY UPHOSA OMNYE UMNXA WOKUPHILA KWI-KARPOWERSHIPS
EKAPA, eMzantsi Afrika – iGreen Connection iyaqhubeleka nokuvakalisa ukuphoxeka kwayo malunga nenkxaso eqhubekayo karhulumente woMzantsi Afrika kwiKarpowerships, kwakunye nokuxhalaba kwayo ngeenkqubo zovavanyo lwempembelelo yokusingqongileyo (EIA) ezenziwayo. Oku kuza njengeengxelo zamajelo eendaba zokuba uMphathiswa weSebe lezaMahlathi, ukuLoba, kunye nokusiNgqongileyo (DFFE) “ufuna” ubungqina bobuchule malunga nengxelo yengozi yokuqhuma kwerhasi yeKarpowerships kwinkqubo yesibheno ye-Karpowership Coega (Ngqura) EIA.
INkokeli yobuChule yoQhagamshelwano loHlaza uLiziwe McDaid uthi, “Siyayibulela into yokuba kwiinkqubo zesibheno ze-EIA uMphathiswa unegunya lokubiza ulwazi olongezelelweyo. Nangona kunjalo, njengeqela elinomdla nelichaphazelekayo elithatha inxaxheba kwinkqubo ye-EIA, kuyadanisa ukubona amathuba aphindaphindiweyo anikwa iiKarpowerships ukulungisa iziphene kwizicelo zabo ze-EIA. Emva kokuba iiKarpowerships zaliwe ekuqaleni izigunyaziso zokusingqongileyo ngo-2021, uMphathiswa ngesibheno wagqiba ekubeni abuyisele ii-EIAs kwiSebe ukuze iKarpowerships ikwazi ukulungisa izikhewu kulwazi kunye neziphene kwinkqubo yentatho-nxaxheba yoluntu. NgoMatshi ka-2023, iSebe liphinde lala ugunyaziso lweKarpowership ngokubhekiselele kwiZibuko laseNgqura. IKarpowership isibhene kwesi sigqibo sokwala. ”
Uthi, "Kwisigqibo sesibheno sexeshana esenziwe ngo-Agasti ka-2023, uMphathiswa wabhala ukuba akakwazanga ukwenza isigqibo esifanelekileyo malunga nesibheno ngenxa (phakathi kwezinye izinto) izikhewu ezahlukeneyo kulwazi kunye nokungacaci malunga nobume beNgxaki enkulu. Ingxelo yoVavanyo lokuFakela. Esikhundleni sokuchitha isibheno, uMphathiswa uphinde wakhetha ukunika iKarpowerships ithuba elingakumbi lokulungisa izithuba zolwazi kunye neziphene. Kuyasibhida ukuba kutheni iiKarpowerships zinikwa amathuba angakumbi okulungisa iziphene kwizicelo zabo ze-EIA. ”
IGreen Connection ikholelwa ukuba uvavanyo olucokisekileyo, olungakhethi buso nolwenkqubo olunobulungisa lwezicelo zeKarpowerships lubalulekile, kwaye ukungafihli kunye nomdla woluntu kufuneka kubekwe phambili. Ubulungisa beenkqubo ze-EIA buya kuthandatyuzwa xa abenzi bezigqibo begoba ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuze umfaki-sicelo akwazi ukulungisa izikhewu ezibalulekileyo zolwazi kunye nezinye iziphene. Ishiya uluvo lokuba ugunyaziso lwendalo esingqongileyo luya kunikezelwa kwiiprojekthi ezixhaswa ngurhulumente, nokuba ukuthatha inxaxheba kwiinkqubo ze-EIA kuya kusiba yinto ephuthileyo.
Umququzeleli weGreen Connection's Community Outreach Coordinator uNeville van Rooy uthi, "Kwaye ngoku, ngeengxelo zokuba iKarpowerships iwacimile amandla kwikomkhulu laseSierra Leone - apho ibonelela ngama-80% ombane - oku kuphakamisa imibuzo ebalulekileyo malunga nokuba bubulumko kusini na kuMzantsi Afrika. ukuthembela kwiKarpowerships ngenxalenye enkulu yeemfuno zayo zamandla. "
Uqhuba athi, “Ngaphandle kweendleko ezinxulumene noko namandla oMzantsi Afrika athandabuzekayo okuthenga umbane ovela kwiKarpowerships, ubungozi obunokubakho kokusingqongileyo kunye nefuthe elibi elinokuba nalo kubomi babalobi abakhasayo kunye noluntu lwabo, zibalulekile ngokulinganayo. Ikamva lamandla elizwe lethu kufuneka lakhelwe phezu kweziseko ezizinzileyo nezithembekileyo. UMzantsi Afrika kufuneka uzabalazele ukhuseleko lwamandla kunye nokuzinza kokusingqongileyo, ngeendlela ezibeka phambili umdla wabantu.”
