I-NAIROBI, Nov.9 (Xinhua) - Umlimi oqhelekileyo waseKenya, kubandakanywa nalabo basezilalini, usebenzisa iilitha ezininzi ze-pesticides ngonyaka.
Ukusetyenziswa kuye kwanda kule minyaka ilandelayo emva kokuvela kwezinambuzane ezitsha kunye nezifo njengoko ilizwe laseMpuma Afrika lijongene neziphumo ezibi zokutshintsha kwemozulu.
Ngelixa ukwanda kokusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane kuye kwanceda ekwakheni ishishini leeshilini zeebhiliyoni ezininzi elizweni, iingcali zinexhala lokuba uninzi lwamafama lusebenzisa kakubi imichiza ngaloo ndlela bebeka abathengi kunye nokusingqongileyo emngciphekweni.
Ngokungafaniyo neminyaka edlulileyo, umlimi waseKenya ngoku usebenzisa izibulali-zinambuzane kuwo onke amanqanaba okukhula kwezityalo.
Phambi kokutyala, abalimi abaninzi basasaza iifama zabo ngemichiza yokutshabalalisa ukhula.Amayeza okubulala izitshabalalisi aphinda agalelwe emva kokuba izithole zityaliwe ukuze kuthintelwe uxinezeleko lokutyalwa ngokutsha nokuthintela izinambuzane.
Isityalo siya kutshizwa kamva ukuze kwandiswe amagqabi kwezinye, ngexesha leentyantyambo, ekuqhameni, phambi kokuvuna nasemva kokuvuna, imveliso ngokwayo.
“Ngaphandle kwezibulali-zinambuzane, awunakufumana nasiphi na isivuno kwezi ntsuku ngenxa yobuninzi bezinambuzane nezifo,” utshilo uAmos Karimi, umfama wetumata eKitengela, emazantsi eNairobi, kudliwanondlebe lwakutsha nje.
UKarimi uphawule ukuba oko waqalisa ukulima kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo, lo nyaka ubungowona umbi kuba uye wasebenzisa izibulali-zinambuzane ezininzi.
“Ndiye ndalwa nezinambuzane nezifo ezininzi kunye nocelomngeni lwemozulu oluquka ukubanda ixesha elide.Ingqele yandibona ndithembele kwimichiza ukuze ndikwazi ukoyisa isifo,” utshilo.
Ingxaki anayo ifana neyamawakawaka amanye amafama akhasayo kwilizwe elikwimpuma ye-Afrika.
Iingcali zezoLimo ziye zaphakamisa iflegi ebomvu, ukuqaphela ukusetyenziswa okuphezulu kwe-pesticide akusisongelo kuphela kwimpilo yabathengi kunye nokusingqongileyo kodwa akunakugcinwa.
UDaniel Maingi weKenya Food Rights Alliance wathi: “Inkoliso yamafama aseKenya zisebenzisa kakubi izibulali-zinambuzane ezibeka esichengeni ukhuseleko lokutya.
UMaingi uphawule ukuba ilizwe lasempuma Afrika amafama athathe amayeza okubulala izitshabalalisi njengeyeza kuninzi lwemingeni yawo yasefama.
“Mininzi imichiza etshizwa kwimifuno, iitumato kunye neziqhamo.Umthengi uhlawula elona xabiso liphezulu koku,” utshilo.
Kwaye okusingqongileyo kubuva ubushushu ngokulinganayo njengoko uninzi lwemihlaba yelizwe laseMpuma Afrika isiba neasidi.Izitshabalalisi zikwangcolisa imilambo kwaye zibulala izinambuzane eziluncedo njengeenyosi.
USilke Bollmohr, umvavanyi wemingcipheko ye-ecotoxicological, waphawula ukuba ngelixa ukusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane ngokwazo kungekho kubi, uninzi lwezo zisetyenziswa eKenya zinezithako eziyingozi ezidibanisa le ngxaki.
“Amayeza okubulala izitshabalalisi athengiswa njengesithako sokulima ngempumelelo ngaphandle kokuthathela ingqalelo iziphumo zawo,” utshilo.
I-Route to Food Initiative, umbutho wokulima ozinzileyo, iphawula ukuba izitshabalalisi ezininzi zinetyhefu kakhulu, zineziphumo ezinetyhefu zexesha elide, ziziphazamisi ze-endocrine, ziyityhefu kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zezilwanyana zasendle okanye zaziwa ngokubangela izehlo eziphezulu zeziphumo ezibi okanye ezingenakulungiseka. .
"Kuphathelele ukuba kukho iimveliso kwimarike yaseKenya, ngokuqinisekileyo zihlelwa njenge-carcinogenic (imveliso ye-24), i-mutagenic (24), i-endocrine disrupter (35), i-neurotoxic (140) kunye ezininzi ezibonisa iziphumo ezicacileyo ekuveliseni (262) ,” liphawula eli ziko.
Iingcali ziqaphele ukuba njengoko zitshiza imichiza, uninzi lwamafama aseKenya aluthathi manyathelo okhuseleko abandakanya ukunxiba iigloves, imaski kunye neebhutsi.
“Abanye bakwatshiza ngexesha elingafanelekanga umzekelo emini okanye xa kunomoya,” watsho uMaingi.
Embindini wokusetyenziswa kakhulu kwezibulali-zinambuzane eKenya kukho amawakawaka eevenkile ezithe saa, kuquka nakwiilali ezikwanti.
Iivenkile ziye zaba ziindawo apho amafama afikelela kuzo zonke iintlobo zemichiza yasefama kunye nembewu exutyiweyo.Amafama akholisa ukuchazela abanikazi beevenkile ngesitshabalalisi okanye iimpawu zesifo esihlasele izityalo zabo kwaye bazithengisele imichiza.
“Umntu unokufowuna esefama andixelele iimpawu kwaye ndiza kumnika iyeza.Ukuba ndinayo, ndiyazithengisa, ukuba akunjalo ndiodole kwaBungoma.Ixesha elininzi iyasebenza, ”utshilo uCaroline Oduori, umnini wevenkile ye-agro vet eBudalangi, eBusia, kwintshona yeKenya.
Ukuhamba ngenani leevenkile kwiidolophu nakwiilali, ishishini liyakhula njengoko abantu baseKenya bevuselela umdla wokulima.Iingcali ziye zahlaba ikhwelo lokuba kusetyenziswe iindlela ezidityanisiweyo zokulawula izitshabalalisi kulimo oluzinzileyo.
