Nakube ikhumulo alisebenzi ngepumelelo, umnotho woke uyakhisimela, kucaphazeleke abathengisela nabathenga ipahla ngaphandle kunye nabathengi.
Ngakelinye ihlangothi, ikhu mulo lemikhumbi nalisebenza kuhle, lingathuthukisa ukukhula komnotho libeke ilizwe lekhethu ebujameni bokuba lisango lesi phande ne-Afrika yoke.
Ekuvakatjheleni kwami i-Durban ngoSewula wee-2019, amabhizinisi amanengi wendawo nabasebenzisi bekhumulo lemi khumbi banghonghoyila ngo msebenzi weKhumulo le-Durban.

Ukuvakatjha kwami mhlapha nje ekhumulweneli bekuyokuhlo la bona  zigciniwe na iinthembiso zokulungisa iinghonghoyilo.
Yihle indima eyenziweko esi khathini esimnyaka esidlulileko ekwenzeni amatjhuguluko woku lungisa ekhumulweneli, ngitjho nanyana bekusahlele iCOVID-19  nje.
Imizamo le seyitjengisa uku ba ngcono kokutlhogonyelwa kweensetjenziswa, ukuphungu leka kwesiminyaminya,  noku qedwa komsebenzi msinyana nokwanda kokusetjenziswa kwe sitimela  kuneenthuthi ezisebe nzisa indlela.
Nanyana lokhu kuyindima ehle yokuya phambili, kodwana use semnengi umsebenzi wokubeka ikhumulo lemikhumbi le-Durban ezingeni lamakhumulo wemi khumbi wephasi nezingeni lokuba yisika yamakhumulo wo mKhakha wePhasi ongeSewula.

Sezinobugcono khulu iinkhathi zamathraga/zeenlori zokuqeda umsebenzi. Ngokunjalo, neense tjenziswa ekusetjenzwa ngazo umthwalo sezinobungcono obufi ka ema-80% begodu njenganje se buphakamela ema-95% ubuncani bakhona, kobanyana buzokufika esilinganisweni samazwe ngama zwe. Isikhathi sokulinda kwemi khumbi sesehlele ezingeni elika risa khulu.
Leziimbalobalo zingabonakala bezizwakale zibusithela, kod wana zinegalelo ekuhlumeni ko mnotho wekhethu neentengweni zezinto esizibhadalako thina nje ngabathengi.

Kilokhu-ke kubalwa ukutjhi ngiswa komsele iMaydon Wharf  kobana izokungenisa imikhumbi emikhulu yesimodeni ukungena ekhumulweni nakuPlatform 1 nakuPlatform 2  kobanyana ku -zokwanda indawo yamakho ntheyina bekwakhiwe nendawo etja yamakhontheyina eNdaweni EKhethekileko YeKhumulo –  i-Point Precint .
Nasele kuphelele koke, uku khuliswa komthangalasise kelo walelikhumulo kuzokudla amabhiliyoni ali-R100 etjhumini leminyaka elizako nangemva kwalokho. Lokhu-ke kuzolitjhu gulula ngokupheleleko ikhumu lweli, kukhule namandla walo wokusebenza ngamakhonthe yina ukusukela emakhonthe yineni ayi-2.9 weengidi ukuyoku fika ngaphezulu kweengidi ezili 11 zamakhontheyina.
Amahlelo alangazelelwako la azokufuna ukubambisana oku khulu okubuya ekorweni yange qadi nokutjalwa kwemali.
