INingizimu Afrika ithole imali mboleko engu-$1.5 billion (cishe ama-R25 billion) evela eBhange Lomhlaba, eyasayinwa mhla zingama-20 kuNtulikazi 2026, ngenhloso yokuthuthukisa ingqalasizinda ebalulekile nokudala imisebenzi emisha ecishe ibe ngu-600,000 ngo-2032, ngokusho kwezitatimende ezivela kuMgcinimafa Kazwelonke kanye neBhange Lomhlaba. Lesi sikhungo, esingesesine esinjalo seNqubomgomo Yokuthuthukiswa kusukela ngo-2022, sizobeka phambili ukuthuthukiswa kukagesi, ezokuthutha ngempahla, kanye—nezinsizakalo zamanzi nezokuhlanzeka ezweni lonke.

Imininingwane Yemalimboleko Nezizathu Zikahulumeni

Isivumelwano semali mboleko yeBhange Lomhlaba, esamenyezelwa ngomhlaka-16 kuNtulikazi futhi samiswa ngokusemthethweni ezinsukwini ezine kamuva, sinesikhathi sokukhokha seminyaka eyi-16 kanye nesikhathi somusa seminyaka emi-3. Inzalo ibekwe ku-SOFR yezinyanga eziyi-6 kanye no-1.49%, njengoba kuqinisekiswe yiNational Treasury. UNgqongqoshe Wezezimali u-Enoch Godongwana uthe, “Lolu hlelo lubonisa ukuzimisela kukahulumeni wethu ukususa izithiyo zengqalasizinda ezibambe ukukhula nokudalwa kwemisebenzi isikhathi eside kakhulu,” ngesikhathi senkomfa ngemuva kokusayinwa.

Izinguquko ezihleliwe zifaka phakathi ukuqalisa imakethe kagesi encintisanayo ngobuningi, ukukhuthaza ukutshalwa kwezimali okuzimele ekudlulisweni kwempahla, kanye nokuqapha okuphelele kwemithetho yamanzi kanye nokuhlanzeka. Leli phakethe kulindeleke futhi ukuthi likhiqize imisebenzi ecishe ibe ngu-280,000 ngonyaka ozayo kuphela, kanti izikhundla ezicishe zibe ngu-600,000 zibikezelwe ngo-2032, ngokusho kwemibiko ye-Treasury kanye ne-World Bank.

Gxila Emanzini, Ekuhlanzeni, Nasentuthukweni Yesikhathi Eside

Lesi yisikhathi sokuqala iBhange Lomhlaba eliBoleka iNqubomgomo Yokuthuthukiswa Kwezimali eNingizimu Afrika linikeza ukwesekwa okuqondile emikhakheni yamanzi kanye nokuhlanzeka. “Ngokwandisa lokhu kusekelwa emanzini kanye nokuhlanzeka okokuqala, sisiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinzuzo zokuguqulwa kwezimali zifinyelela kuyo yonke imindeni,” kusho uSatu Kahkonen, uMqondisi we-World Bank Group Division waseNingizimu Afrika, esitatimendeni sangomhlaka-16 kuJulayi.

Ingqalasizinda yaseNingizimu Afrika—ikakhulukazi ugesi, ezokuthutha kanye nokulethwa kwamanzi ayisisekelo—ibhekane nezinselelo ezinde, ikhubaza ukukhula komnotho futhi iphakamisa ukukhathazeka okujulile emiphakathini kulo lonke izwe. Ukuntuleka kwamanzi kanye nokuphela kwawo muva nje kugcizelele ukuphuthuma kokuvuselelwa. Isikhungo seBhange Lomhlaba sihlose ukubhekana nalezi zithiyo ngokusebenzisa izinguquko ezahlukahlukene zenqubomgomo kanye nemithetho, uhulumeni ethembisa ukuthuthukiswa okubonakalayo ekuhlinzekweni kwezinsizakalo kanye nokuqashwa.

UMgcinimafa Kazwelonke uthe ukuqaliswa kwalezi zinguquko kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezimali kuzoqashwa ngokucophelela, kanti ukubika kuzophoqelelwa ngaphansi kwemigomo yemali mboleko. Ukuvuselelwa okulandelayo kulindeleke lapho isigaba sokuqala sokuxhaswa kwephrojekthi sikhishwa.
