EleBotswana lithi selimise ukunikeza abokuza incwadi zokusebenza kulelolizwe, ama work permits, kulabo abadinga imsebenzi yokuba ngababalisi kanye labatshayeli bamaloli.
Lokhu kulandela ukufola kwezizalwane zeBotswana ezaqeqetshela ukuba ngababalisi ezitshengisele emigwaqweni phezu kokuswelakala kwemisebenzi.
Ekhuluma ngemva kokwamukela ugwalo olumumethe izikhalazo zababalisi beBotswana abathi abasebenzi, umphathintambo obona ngezemisebenzi uMnumzana Pius Mokgware uthe isimo sesilungiswa ngokuthi kungasanikezwa abokuza incwadi zokusebenza ama work permits.
Uthe ngaphandle kwababalisi, abatshayeli bamaloli kusukela ngoMpalakazi odluleyo, labo kabasoze baphiwe imvumo yokusebenza kweleBotswana.
"Esesikwenzile yikuthi asisoke sinike umbalisi ovela phandle i work permit. Ngenyanga edluleyo kuphela sincitshe abangu 140 abakade befuna ama permit. Lokhu sikwenza ngenxa yokuthi silabo ababilisi abaneleyo kwelakithi."
UMnu. Mokgware wengeze wathi sebeqale ukukhulumisana lezikolo ezizimeleyo – ama private schools - okuyiwo aqhatshe ababalisi bokuza ngobunengi, okugoqela labeZimbabwe. Obekhokhela ekuqoqeni ukutshengisela kwamatitshala angasebenziyo, uMnumzana Thabang Kopelo, uthi bona abalwi lababalisi bokuza, kodwa bakhalaza ukuthi uhulumende akhangele izisebenzi zakweleBotswana kuqala.
"Siyavuma ukuthi bakhona abavela kwamanye amazwe, yikho sisithi akube ngelinye inani, i80% ibe ngeyaBatswana. Sithi akwesulwe ama work permit abokuza, kunganikezwa amatsha."
UMnu. Kopelo ekhuluma leStudio7 uthe bananzelela ukuthi ikakhulu izikolo ezizimeleyo ziqila ababalisi abavela ngaphandle kwelizwe zibahlawulwa iholo eliphansi. Uthi abasoze besebenzise udlakela kuzicelo zabo zokuthi kususwe ababalisi bokuza.
“Asisoke siyenze okwenziwa ngamanye amazwe lapho esibona behlaselwa, bethukwa. Singabantu beAfrica sonke, yikho sisithi uhulumende kaqale ngathi, uma kulesikhala, labo bazathola.”
UMnu. Kopelo uqhubeke esithi abazange benikeze uhulumende isikhathi sokufeza ukukhitshwa kwababalisi abavela kwamanye amazwe.
“Sivumelene ukuthi sizaqhubeka sikhulumisana. Siyamthemba umphathintambo ukuthi uzaphangisa lempendulo zethu. Sizabekezela kodwa hatshi okwesikhathi eside."
Inyathelo lokuthi kuvalwe ukunikezwa kwencwadi zokusebenza sekutshiye ababalisi beZimbabwe kweleBotswana bethithibele. Kodwa umbalisi uMnu. Never Ndiweni uthi lelinyathelo alimangalisi ngoba wayevele esazi ukuthi luzafika lolusuku lapho ababalisi baphandle abangasafuneki khona.
“Akungethusanga ngoba vele kuyoze kube nini sizsebenza kwamanye amazwe. Akukho inyoni endiza engahlali phansi. Asibuyeleni emuva. Esingakucela yikuthi siphiwe isikhathi ukuthi sibophe imtshaqana yethu.”
Odabuka eZimbabwe otshayela amaloli, uMnumzana Ntokozo Thebe, uthi balokhe belethemba lokuthi lapha la laphayana, bazathola ama work permits.
“Siwuzwile umlayezo, kodwa kubatshayeli kade kwaqala, ayisikho ukuthi khona bewavala. Evalwe enjalo sekusiya ngenhlanhla bayawathola abanye.”
Inombolo ezethulwa lugatsha lukahulumende olweStastics Botswana ngoLwezi odluleyo zitshengisa ukuthi kuzisebenzi zonke zokuza eziphose zifike inkulungwane ezinhlanu - 4,851 abaphose befike inkulungwane - 873, ngababalisi.
Inyathelo leBotswana elokuncitsha abokuza incwadi zokusebenza liza ngesikhathi amazwe afana leSouth Africa lawo eseqinise imthetho ngokusebenza kwezizalwane zakwamanye amazwe, sokulenjongo yokupha amathuba emsebenzi abamazwe abo.
