Izibalo Zemisebenzi Zibonisa Ukuthi Umnotho Wethu Uyavuka

Lokhu kube nzima kakhulu ngenxa yobhubhane, imizamo yokuvukela umbuso ngoNtu likazi ngowezi-2021, kanye nezikhukhula ezingxenyeni zaKwaZulu-Natali, eMpu malanga Kapa naseNyakatho Ntshonalanga.
Kukho konke lokhu, inkinga kagesi nayo ivele yenyukela, yadala umonakalo emnothweni futhi yathwesa ubunzima ama khaya namabhizinisi.
Noma kunjalo, ngisho nakuzo lezi zinselele ezesa bekayo, umphakathi wakithi kanye nomnotho kubonise ukuqina. Futhi izinkomba zithi umnotho wethu ubonisa izimpawu ezinhle zokukhula.
Izibalo zakamuva zemise benzi, ikakhulukazi, izona ezilokozisa inhlansi yethemba.
Ezezibalo eNingizimu Afrika ziqophe ukwehla kwe zinga labantu abangasebenzi kwikota yesibili yowezi-2021.
Ngokuphawulekayo, izibalo zabo zibonisa ukuthi inani ngqo labantu abasebenzayo lenyuke lasuka kubantu abayizigidi eziyi-14.5 kwikota yesine yowezi-2021 laya kwizigidi eziyi-15.5 kwikota yesibili yowezi-2022. Lokhu kwenyuka kugqugquzela kakhulu kwimisebenzi edi ngekayo kwisigamu sokuqala salo nyaka.
Le misebenzi yayisungulwe ikakhulukazi emikha kheni efana neyezinsizakalo zomphakathi nezenhlalo, ezohwebo, ezezimali kanye nakwezokwakha, ikakhulu kazi.
Kunjalo, kuningi okusa mele kwenziwe uma sifuna ukwenza umehluko obona kalayo kwizinga eliphezulu lokweswelakala kwemise benzi ezweni lethu.
Ngalowo mzuzu, lezi zibalo zibonisa ukuthi izindawo ezibekwe eqhulwini oHle lweni Lokwakha Kabusha Nokuvuselela Umnotho – ezi fana nemisebenzi eminingi yomphakathi, izinguquko zomnotho kanye nokuthuthu kiswa kwengqalasizinda – zinomthelela ekusungu lweni kwemisebenzi.
Njengoba ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda kanye notshalomali kungenye yezinto ezibekwe eqhulwini ohlelweni lokuvuselela umnotho, ukukhula kwesibalo semisebenzi emkhakheni wezokwakha kuyagqugquzela kakhulu.
Isabelomali sangoNhlolanja wezi-2022 sabonisa ukukhula ngama-30% kwemali ese tshenziswe kwingqalasizinda yomphakathi eminyakeni emithathu ezayo yaya kwizigidigidi ezingama-R812, uma kuqhathaniswa nezigidigidi ezingama-R627 eminyakeni emithathu eyedlule.
IBhodi Lokuthuthukiswa Kwemboni Yezokwakha kamuva-nje liphawule ukuthi kunokukhula okukhona kwi miklamo yengqalasizinda eqhutshwa izinkampani zika hulumeni ezifana no-Transnet no-Eskom, nakumadolo bhakazi kanye noMnyango Wezemisebenzi Yomphakathi Nengqalasizinda.
NgoNhlangulana, ku lonyaka sibone umnotho wethu ubuyela emazingeni angaphambi kobhubhane ngokubuka umphumela ongemubi kakhulu we-GDP kwikota yokuqala yonyaka.
Inhlosonqangi ngukusuka ngokubonakalayo kuleli zinga eliphansi, nokuyisona sizathu esenza siqhubeke nokugxila ekuguqulweni kwezakhiwo okuyizona eziqhuba uku khula komnotho.Uhulumeni kamuva-nje ushicilele isethulo esi hlongozwayo sokususa isilinganiso somkhawulo wokukhishwa kwemvume yezikhungo eziphehla ugesi futhi wagqugquzela utshalomali kwimiklamo emikhulu, neyokuphehla ugesi ukuze kuzokwengezwa ngokushesha umthamo wogesi omusha kwisizinda sogesi sikazwelonke. Lokhu kuyingqophamlando emi zamweni yethu yokuguqula ezamandla zakuleli lizwe, okuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu eyisidingo sokukhuliswa komnotho kanye nokuheha utshalomali.
Selokhu kwamenyezelwa uhlelo lwezamandla lukazwelonke ngoNtulikazi kulo nyaka, besilokhu sisebenza njengohulumeni ngoku bambisana nababambiqhaza abehlukene ekuqalisweni kokusebenza kwezinguquko zenqubomngomo.
Selokhu sakhuphula isi linganiso semvume saya kumamegawathi ayi-100 ngoNhlangulana wezi-2021, ingaphezu kwama-500 MW imiklamo ezimele yoku phehlwa kogesi ovuselelekayo esibhalisiwe, njengamanje ingaphezu kwezi-6 000 MW imiklamo esetshenzwayo emazingeni ehlukene oku thuthukiswa.Inqubo yokuguqulwa kwezakhiwo iqhubekela phambili ekwesekeni ukukhula ko mnotho nokuheha utshalo mali.Ukukhula komnotho ngeke kube yimpumelelo futhi imisebenzi ngeke isungulwe ngaphandle kokulandela izinguquko zezakhiwo okuyinto enzima kodwa edingekayo ukwenza ngcono isimo samabhizinisi nesotshalomali. Lokhu kungumsebenzi kahulumeni.
Kodwa-ke ukuze siqinisekise impumelelo kulokhu, kuzo fanele kube nesivumelwano phakathi kwamabhizinisi, ezabasebenzi kanye no mphakathi hhayi nje kuphela ezinguqukweni ezidingekayo, kodwa ekuhwebelananeni okudingekayo ukufeza  izinjongo zethu.
Ngesikhathi umnotho wethu uthatha isikhathi ukuvuka futhi nohlelo lwethu lwezi nguquko luqala ukusebenza, sizoqhubeka nokubheka uchungechunge lwezi ngenelelo ezizohambisana nokuseka ukusungulwa kwe misebenzi. Ngokuhambisana nezinyathelo ezeseka uku khula komkhakha ozimele, sizokwandisa amathuba emi sebenzi emphakathini futhi siqinisekise ukuvikeleka ngokwezenhlalo kulabo aba-buthakathaka kakhulu.
Ukukhula kwamathuba emisebenzi, kanjalo nezi nye izimpawu ezibuyisa ithemba zokuvuka komno tho, kufanele zisigqugquzele ukuphokophelela pha mbili nezinguquko futhi siqalise ukusebenza koHlelo Lokwakha Kabusha Noku vuselela Umnotho ukuze sizovula indlela yotshalomali nokukhula komnotho.
Kufanele kugqugquzele bonke ozakwethu emphakathini ukuthi basebenze ngokusondelana okukhulu nangokuphuthuma na ngenhloso yokuzuza uku khula okusheshayo komno tho nokusungula imisebenzi eminingi.
