Inkinga yamahluzo kawoyela e-Afrika iholela ekuntulekeni kukaphethroli
Ukushoda kwezindawo zokuhluza uwoyela kulo lonke elase-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara okuhambisana nokukhuphuka kwamanani entengo aluhlaza ngenxa yempi yase-Ukraine kushiye amazwe entula uphethroli ngendlela eyingozi, kwaphazamisa izindiza futhi kwadala nolayini eziteshini zokugcwalisa amafutha. Ukwenyuka kwamanani entengo kuza kanye nokwenyuka kwezindleko zokudla ngemuva kokuthi iRussia ithumele amasosha e-Ukraine, nokushaye amashumi ezigidi zabantu asebephila ngaphansi kwezimo ezibucayi, kanye nesabelomali sikaHulumeni nesenhlangano yosizo.
Izinkampani ezihluza kuwo wonke amazwe ase-Afrika eseningizimu yeSahara zihlangene zingacubungula imiphongolo kawoyela eyisigidi esiso-1.36 ngosuku, ngokombono, kodwa njengoba eziningi zingasebenzi, kuphela ama-30% alowo mthamo owasetshenziswa ngonyaka odlule, ngokusho kwe-consultancy ezimele i-CITAC.
Izikhungo zokuhluza eCameroon, eGhana naseSenegal zivaliwe, njengoba zivaliwe ezine eNingizimu Afrika. Umkhiqizi omkhulu kawoyela e-Afrika, iNigeria, iphampa imiphongolo engaphezu kwesigidi esiso-1.3 ngosuku, kodwa izitshalo ezimbili ezizimele ezisasebenza lapho zingacubungula kuphela i-1% yalokho. I-African Export-Import Bank kanye ne-African Petroleum Producers’ Organisation basayine isivumelwano ngoMeyi sokudala “ibhange lamandla” elibiza izigidigidi zamarandi ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukutshalwa kwezimali kwangasese kulo mkhakha kodwa abahlaziyi bathi kunezilungiso ezimbalwa ezisheshayo eziseduze.
Ukushoda kukaphethroli nakho kuhlasela amazwe aseNtshonalanga, kodwa umthelela e-Afrika kulindeleke ukuthi udonse isikhathi eside njengoba ohulumeni nezinkampani ngokuvamile bengakwazi ukukhokhela izindleko eziphakeme kakhulu zikaphethroli ovela kwamanye amazwe, noma ukuqhamuka nezigidi zamaRandi ezidingekayo ukuze zithole izindawo zokuhluza. egijima futhi ngokutshekisa ngokugcwele.
“Kungenzeka ukuthi isimo sibe sibi kakhulu esikhathini esifushane,” u-Anibor Kragha, inhloko ye-African Refiners & Distributors Association (ARDA), etshela abeReuters. Izinkampani zikawoyela ezinkulu zaseNtshonalanga bezihoxa ezinhlelweni zokuhluza e-Afrika eminyakeni yakamuva futhi abatshalizimali basekhaya kanye noHulumeni bahlulekile kakhulu ukuvala leli gebe, okuholele ekuntulekeni okungapheli kokutshalwa kwezimali ekuthuthukiseni izakhiwo zesimanje.
Isiphetho siwukuthi nakuba izwekazi linemiphongolo kawoyela elinganiselwa ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezili-125 kanye negesi yemvelo engusigidintathu ongama-600 Cubic Feet, amazwe ase-Afrika athembele kakhulu emikhiqizweni kaphethroli evela kwamanye amazwe ukuze athuthukise umnotho wawo.
