Izakhamizi zePlumtree ezihlala ezigabeni ezigoqela koMbimba, eBambadzi laseJutjume, ezilagise inkomo eMabhongane zikhala ngokuthi seziphelelwe zinkomo ngenxa yezilwane esezihlasele kulumango.
Njengenhlalayenza nxa kungumnyaka wendlala, izakhamizi ezinengi ezigabeni lezi zithinta imihlambi yazo ziyeyilagisa eMabhongane lapho okulamadlelo angcono lamanzi.
Kodwa ezinye zithi zihlangane lembila zithutha ngenxa yezilwane lezi, zona esezibulele inkomo ezedlula amatshumi amabili kusikhatshana esedluleyo.
“Izilwane lezi nxa sizibala njengabadingi bezinkomo abahlezi lazo egangeni zingaba ngu-9,” kutsho isakhamuzi seJutjume uMnu Innocent Ngwenya.
“Kulezilwane ezihamba zingu-3 ezilesilwane esilonyawo olukhulu olwesabekayo okokuthi ungalubona ungaphenduka udele ukuya emlageni wesabe ukulandela inkomo. Zihluphile-ke lezozilwane, inkomo zibangwa ngambili ngantathu.”
Esinye njalo isakhamuzi seJutjume esilenkomo eMabhongane uMnu Difa Dube uthi uhulumende kumele angenele ngokuphangisa bengakaphelelwa yizifuyo.
“Ngendlala ekhona iMabhongane yiyo yodwa indawo esibona ukuthi ingasiza inkomo zethu, ngakho uhulumende kathathe phela amanyathelo azikhiphe lezizilwane,” kutsho uMnu Dube. “Ukuthi uzikhipha ngayiphi indlela thina asilandaba.”
Amazwi kaDube agcizelelwe nguNgwenya, othi lanxa sebecele abogatsha olubona ngokulondolozwa kwezemvelo lenyamazana zendle olweZimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management (ZimParks) ukuthi bangenele, akulalutho asebelwenzile.
Isikhulumeli sogatsha lweZimParks uMnu Tinashe Farawao ubengabambeki ecingweni njalo kaphendulanga imibuzo ayithunyelwe yiStudio 7.
Kodwa useke watsho phambilini kulumsakazo ukuthi bayalwazi udubo lwenyamazana zasendle ezithwalise izakhamizi nzima endaweni ezitshiyeneyo zelizwe njalo benza konke abakwelenisayo ukukulungisisa lokho.
Kucatshangelwa ukuthi izilwane zeMabhongane lezi ziphume eHwange National Park. Nyakenye zike zahlasela ngokufanayo kodwa loludubo lwaba nganeno ngemva kokubulawa kwezinye zazo ngabeZimParks.
Izakhamizi endaweni ezitshiyeneyo ezifana leHwange leNkayi lazo zikhala ngezilwane lezinye inyamazana zasendle ezifana lempisi eseziqede izifuzo zazo.
