Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, uMnu Sihle Mkhize, uzwakalise ukwazisa kwakhe okukhulu kuzo zonke iziqiwi zobhejane i-Ezemvelo’ okuhlanganisa ne-Field Staff edumile i-Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park (HiP) kulandela ukwehla okuphawulekayo kwezigameko zokuzingelwa kobhejane eziqoshwe ezinyangeni ezedlule.
Ekhuluma ngesikhathi behlangana nethimba, uMnu Mkhize ukushayele ihlombe ukuzibophezela kwabo okungantengantengi, ukuziphatha kahle, nokuqina lapho bebhekene nezinsongo eziqhubekayo zokuzingela ngokungemthetho. Uphinde waqinisekisa ukuzinikela kuka-Ezemvelo ekwesekeni abasebenzi bakhe abaphambili, ikakhulukazi labo abathi uma besemsebenzini bazithole sekumele bavele enkantolo ngenxa yezigameko ezithinta abazingela ngokungemthetho.
“Ezemvelo uzokwenza konke okusemandleni ayo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi wonke umqaphi wenkundla okufanele avele enkantolo uthola ukwesekwa akudingayo,” akuqinisekisile.
UMnu Mkhize uphinde wabonga abaqaphi ngokubamba iqhaza ngokuzithandela ohlelweni lokuhlola i-polygraph yenhlangano. I-Ezemvelo isanda kwethula ukuhlolwa kwe-polygraph kuzo zonke iziqiwi zayo zobhejane ukuze kuqiniswe ukuphepha kwangaphakathi nokuqinisekisa ubuqotho bemisebenzi yokulwa nokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho. Abantu abambalwa ababonise izimpawu zokukhohlisa basuswa ngokushesha ezindaweni ezizwelayo kobhejane futhi bazonikezwa ithuba lesibili lokuhlolwa.
UMnu Mkhize welule ukubonga kwakhe kubo bonke abasebenzi basensimini ye-HiP ngokuqhubeka kwabo nesibindi nokuzinikela ekuvikeleni obhejane baseNingizimu Afrika. Imizamo yabo isalokhu ibalulekile ekuvikeleni lolu hlobo lwezilwane ezingokomfanekiso ezizukulwaneni ezizayo.
Phakathi nombuthano, uNksz L. Fynn, u-Ezemvelo’s Data Analyst, unikeze umbono weSu lokulwa nokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho lezinto ezinhlanu, elihlanganisa indlela ebizwa ngokungakahleleki ngokuthi itiye le-“nekhofi.” Leli qhinga libandakanya uPhiko Olulwa Nokuzingelwa Kwezilwane oluvakashela abasolwa ngokuzingela ngokungemthetho abanikezwe ibheyili, okuyisikhumbuzo esiqhubekayo sokuthi imisebenzi yabo isabhekwe ngeso lokhozi nokuthi u-Ezemvelo akabekezeleli nhlobo ubugebengu bezilwane zasendle. Kuze kube manje, bangu-86 kuphela obhejane abazingelwe ngokungemthetho KwaZulu-Natal, okuyimpumelelo enkulu uma kuqhathaniswa nobhejane abangama-218 abalahleka ngoNovemba 2024.
UNksz Fynn uqhube waveza ukuthi ngesu elikhona manje lokulwa nokuzingelwa ngokungemthetho, u-Ezemvelo usedilize ngempumelelo amalungu amane kwamahlanu aziwayo amaqembu azingela ngokungemthetho. Ngokwakhela phezu kwale mpumelelo, le nhlangano iphinde yahlonza abaholi bamaqembu abahlanu abengeziwe imisebenzi yabo manje egadiwe
