Uninzi lwezilwanyana zasendle zazibaleka xa kuvakala ilizwi lomzingeli onokuthi abe ngumzingeli lidlula kwimithi yeti. Kodwa kumazantsi elizwe, iihagu zasendle ezihlaselayo kunye neenyamakazi azizange zibonise uloyiko lokuba ngoobani okanye yintoni na aba bangeneleli.
Iingulube zasendle zazisondelelene kakhulu; sasiziva ivumba lazo, siva ukugquma kwazo, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kwanesandi samasebe aqhekekayo esandila kwiintlambo. Kodwa ngaphandle komfanekiso oshushu, ukubona ezi zilwanyana, ezibizwa ngokuba zizinambuzane, kwenye yezona ntsuku zishushu zonyaka bekungenakwenzeka.
“Kukho imizila yeenyamakazi ejikeleze idama ngalinye. Kangangexesha elide, bekukho imfuyo embalwa kakhulu kulo mhlaba, kwaye iihektare ezingama-90 (iihektare ezingama-220) zomile kakhulu,” utshilo umlimi waseTindell uLeonard Sanders.
Kangangeminyaka engamashumi amabini, idama elikufutshane noMlambo iQueanbine belingasetyenziswa njengedlelo, kodwa ngenxa yembalela enkulu, uMnu. Sanders wabona idama liphantse lome, kwaye uxinzelelo kwiinyamakazi zasendle, iihagu zasendle kunye neekangaroo lwalusanda.
Uthe, “Kwimbali, la madama ayenamanzi amaninzi, kodwa ngoku ngokucacileyo omile. Ewe, besinexesha lokungabikho kwemvula, kodwa kungenxa yokuba izilwanyana zazisela loo manzi.”
"La madama enziwe ngendlela yokulwa nomlilo, ukubonelela ngamanzi emfuyo, kwanokunkcenkceshela umhlaba xa kufuneka, kodwa eneneni awananto, nto leyo ebonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba angakanani amanzi asetyenziswa zizilwanyana zasendle kuloo ndawo."
UMnu. Sanders uthe kuye kwaba nzima ukulungisa ifama nokuyenza ivelise imveliso ukusukela oko wafudukela kule ndawo ngokusisigxina kwiminyaka engaphezu konyaka eyadlulayo.
“Ngenxa yokuba iinyamakazi ezininzi kunye neekhangaroo zitya emasimini, akukho ngca iseleyo. Kwaye ngalo lonke ixesha xa kukho imvula enkulu, iihagu zasendle ziyafika zitshabalalise umhlaba,” utshilo.
"Asinakukwazi ukubuyisela umhlaba ebomini. Xa uphuma ngaphandle ubone amehlo angama-30 ejonge idlelo, ufuna ukuliphumza, kodwa alikwazi."
Njengoko iinkomo ezintathu zaseGalloway kunye nenkunzi enye kuphela kumhlaba ongaphezulu kweehektare ezingama-90, ukulungiselela amadlelo awayeza kutshatyalaliswa zizinambuzane kungekudala kwakungumngeni omkhulu.
UMnu. Sanders uthe: “Ulimo oluvuselelayo luxhomekeke kakhulu ekutyiseni ukutya okujikeleziswayo, kodwa amathuba amaninzi anqongophele. Xa ubeka iinkomo emadlelweni, uze emva koko ii-kangaroo, iinyamakazi, kunye neengulube zasendle ezivela kulo lonke eli candelo zize zizitye, ayikokuchitha umgudu oko?”
"Yonke intshi yomhlaba otyebileyo itshatyalalisiwe, kwaye yonke le ntshabalalo ivela kwindawo enye - isuka kwindawo ekhuselweyo ngurhulumente."
UMnu. Sanders uthe amanyathelo okulawula kwindawo ekufutshane, phantsi kolawulo lwe-NSW National Parks and Wildlife, mancinci kakhulu, kuba ukubulala ngenqwelo moya kwenziwa kanye ngonyaka kwaye iinkqubo zokuthiya izilwanyana azixhaphakanga kangako.
Uthe: “Kufuneka badibane nabanini bomhlaba, kodwa iipaki zesizwe azenzi loo nto. Benza izinto ngendlela yabo kwaye abakhathali ngomnye umntu.”
"Isombulule ingxaki kuloo ndawo incinci kuphela, kodwa ayizange isombulule ingxaki eyasasazeka kwezinye iindawo. Andazi ukuba sisiphi isisombululo."
UMnu. Sanders uthe iingozi ezinxulumene nokuzisa abazingeli babucala ziya kuyenza mandundu le ngxaki, ukusuka kwimiba yoxanduva ukuya kwiinkxalabo zokhuseleko kwiindawo ezinkulu zomhlaba onamaqhuma.
“Wonke umntu ufuna ukusombulula ingxaki, kodwa kufuneka uqaphele kakhulu ukuba ucela uncedo kubani,” utshilo.
"Uvumela umntu omnye ukuba angene, aze aphume nabahlobo bakhe, kwaye abahlobo babahlobo bakhe baphume nabo. Ngequbuliso, babaninzi kakhulu abantu abaphumayo."
Abazingeli abazingela ngokungekho mthethweni, kuquka abazingeli abangekho mthethweni abanemipu kunye nezinja zokuzingela, babonwe kwipaki yesizwe. Abanye abazingeli abazingela ngokungekho mthethweni bade bawela iindlela zikawonke-wonke ukuze badubule kwiifama zabucala.
UMnu. Sanders uthe: “Into exhalabisayo kukuba sihlala siva izithonga zokudubula kodwa singazi ukuba zivela phi.”
"Konke oku kuyinxalenye yolawulo lwezilwanyana zasendle. Ukuba urhulumente ebesebenzisana ngcono, abantu bebengayi kuvumela aba bazingeli babucala ukuba baye kuzingela rhoqo, kuba ingxaki, ngokusisiseko, ingasonjululwa."
Isithethi seSebe lezoTshintsho lweMozulu, Amandla, iNdalo kunye naManzi laseNSW (elilawula iipaki zesizwe kulo lonke ilizwe) sithe izilwanyana zasendle ezingaphezu kwama-2,803 zidutyulwe kutshanje kummandla weePaki zeSizwe ezisemazantsi eNSW, kuquka neendawo ezikhuselekileyo ezikufutshane nepropathi kaMnu. Reynolds.
“Ngowama-2024-2025, iNational Park Service kunye neWildlife Service babamba izilwanyana zasendle ezingama-2,803 emoyeni, kuquka iinyamakazi ezingama-2,123 kunye neehagu zasendle ezingama-429,” itsho ingxelo.
I-New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) iqhuba inkqubo yokujonga emoyeni ekupheleni kwehlobo ngalinye, ngokuyintloko ukulawula iinyamakazi, iihagu zasendle, kunye neebhokhwe zasendle. I-NPWS ikwaqhuba iinkqubo zokujonga umhlaba ngexesha lonyaka njengoko kufuneka ukulawula ubuninzi beehagu zasendle kwezi ndawo zikhuselweyo.
Isithethi se-arhente sithe iNational Parks and Wildlife Service isebenza rhoqo nabanini bomhlaba abakufutshane kunye nee-arhente zomhlaba zasekuhlaleni ukulawula ukwanda kwezinambuzane.
“I-National Parks and Wildlife Service iza kuqhubeka nokusebenzisana noluntu lwasekuhlaleni kwiinkqubo zolawulo lwezinambuzane phakathi kwemimandla, kuquka nokubagcina benolwazi ngezicwangciso zolawulo lwezinambuzane ezizayo,” batsho.
"I-National Parks and Wildlife Service isebenzisana namazwe angabamelwane, abaphathi bomhlaba, iSebe leMizi-mveliso ephambili kunye noPhuhliso lweSithili, kunye nee-arhente zokudibanisa zesizwe ukulawula izilwanyana zasendle kunye nokhula kumhlaba onabantu abazimeleyo."
