Imakethe "yokuqala okuhle" yehlulekile, futhi kunzima ngemakethe yensimbi ukwenza izinguquko ezinkulu ngaphambi kweholide

Ngokombono wamanje, ukupholisa kwemizwa yemakethe kungase kube nokuthile okuthinta umjikelezo wokuqala wokwenyuka nokwehla kwe-coke esikhathini esizayo esiseduze. Kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba, intengo ye-coke isiqalile ukukhuphuka ngendlela ephelele. Esikhathini esingaphansi kwenyanga, imijikelezo emine yokwenyuka isiqalile ukusebenza ngokugcwele, ngokunyuka okungaphezu kwama-yuan angu-400/ton. Ngesikhathi soSuku Lonyaka Omusha, amanani e-coke ashintshe kusukela ekukhuphukeni kuya ekwehleni, ngokwehla kwama-yuan ayi-100/ton. Namuhla, amanani esikhathi esizayo se-coke kanye ne-coking coal aphinde ehla, kanti amanani esikhathi esizayo se-iron ore kanye namanani aqondile nawo ehle kancane. Ukunyakaza okuxegayo nokwehla kwamanani aluhlaza kanye nophethiloli kube nomthelela osobala kakhulu emqondweni wemakethe.
Ukuqaliswa okugcwele kwalolu chungechunge lokwenyuka nokwehla kwentengo ye-coke kuhlobene kakhulu nokulahlekelwa yimishini yokugaya insimbi. Njengamanje, isidingo sokuphinda kufakwe imishini yokugaya insimbi asisikhulu, futhi intshiseko yokuthengwa kwempahla yehlile. Imakethe ibuthakathaka, futhi amalahle okugaya insimbi angase aqhubeke nokwehla esikhathini esizayo.

Ngasohlangothini lwesidingo, njengoba kusondela uMkhosi WaseNtwasahlobo, izinkampani eziningi zithatha amaholide kusenesikhathi, okuholela ekwehleni okukhulu kwesidingo. Njengoba ukuthengiselana kwaminyaka yonke kufinyelela ekupheleni kancane kancane, ngeke kube nezinguquko ezinkulu ohlangothini lwesidingo, futhi ukunaka kwemakethe kuzogxila kokulindelekile konyaka ozayo.

Ngasohlangothini lokuphakelwa, kusesezingeni eliphansi kakhulu. Engxenyeni yesibili ka-2022, yize kungekho nqubomgomo eqinile yokuvinjelwa kokukhiqiza emakethe, intshiseko yokukhiqiza yezimboni zensimbi ngokuvamile ayiphezulu ngenxa yokulahlekelwa. Nakuba ukwehla kokukhiqiza kungekuhle njengonyaka odlule, ukukhiqizwa okuphelele kuhlala kuzinzile ngaphandle kokwenyuka okukhulu.
(Uma ufuna ukuthola intengo yemikhiqizo ethile yensimbi, njengeIkhoyili yeGalvalume Ethengiswa Ngobuningi, ungaxhumana nathi ukuze uthole ikhotheshini nganoma yisiphi isikhathi)
Njengoba uMkhosi WaseNtwasahlobo usondela, imakethe izongena kancane kancane esimweni sentengo kodwa ayikho imakethe. Ukuthambekela kwamanani ensimbi esikhathini esizayo kuthinteka kakhulu umuzwa wezimali futhi akunandaba kangako nezisekelo. Esikhathini esifushane, akukho mandla amakhulu ashukumisayo emakethe njengamanje, futhi imakethe yensimbi izoshintsha kancane ngaphambi kweholide.
