Nangona abaninizifama abancinane bebaluleke gqitha kwezokufumaneka kokutya ngokwaneleyo eMzansi, ukungena kwimalike kungalilinge elinzima ngokungathethekiyo kwaba bavelisi. Amafama abelana ngamacebo neengcebiso zabo malunga nokunciphisa imiqobo ekungeneni kwimalike.
Abaninizifama abancinane bayinxalenye yokufumaneka ngokwaneleyo kokutya eMzansi. Kule ngxelo yango2014 yesebe lezolimo, inguqu kwezomhlaba nophuhliso lwamaphandle, isebe lagxininisa indlela ababaluleke ngayo abavelisi abancinane noncedo oluninzi oluza naba bavelisi.
“Inkxaso kubavelisi abancinane ibalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukufumaneka ngokwaneleyo kokutya, ukusetyenziswa ngokupheleleyo kwemithombo yoncedo, umhlaba uyenye yezinto ezibalulekileyo, [kunye] nokudalwa kwemisebenzi,” ingxelo ifundeka ngolo hlobo.
Ichaza kwakhona amandla abanokuba nawo abo banokuba ngabaninizifama ukwandisa amathuba ezoqoqosho kwicandelo lezolimo.
“Kukho ubungqina ukucacisa ukuba le yinkalo esasele ingekabi nakusetyenziswa amandla enawo ukudala amathuba ezoqoqosho, ingakumbi kwiindawo ezisemaphandleni apho ubuhlwempu buninzi khona.”
Kwenye ingxelo yeBhunga leMalike lezoLimo leSizwe (National Agricultural Marketing Council) (NAMC)), iingcali zafumanisa ukuba abaninizifama abancinane bajamelene noludwe lwezithintelo ezibanqanda ekungeneni kwimalike. Ezi zithintelo zisusela kwimiba ephathelele kuveliso ngokwemilinganiselo yesiveliso emincinane, ukuya kutsho kumgangatho osezantsi wokuvelisa, ukunqongophala koovimba abafanelekileyo, kwanokongezwa kwexabiso elincinane kwiziveliso zabo.
Le miba iyawavalela amafama amancinane eshishini. Sithethe namafama amane asuka kumashishini ahlukahlukeneyo ukuba asinike awona macebo abhetele okungena kwimalike.
Landela inkqubo yokukhangela ‘imalike kuqala’
UDaisy Moleko, okukuphela komfama ongusomashishini obhinqileyo kwishishini lemivundla, ubongoza amafama amatsha ukuba aqaphele imalike yawo phambi kokuba aqalise ukufamisha. Uthi amafama kufuneka azibuze umbuzo wokuba ngubani oza kutya okanye asebenzise isiveliso sabo nje ukuba isivuno okanye ixesha lokuxhela lifike.
“Icebiswana endinalo lelokuba ujonge imalike yakho, uzibuze ukuba ngoobani na abaza kuba ngabathengi bakho. Emva kokwazi ukuba ngoobani abaya kuba ngabathengi bakho, unokuqalisa ukutyala okanye unokuqalisa ukufuya imfuyo yakho. Akuncedi nto ukuqalisa ngokufamisha ngaphandle kokwazi ukuba ngoobani [othengisela bona]. Yaye kulula ukungena kwimalike xa usazi isiveliso sakho yaye [kungaliphi ixesha] uyayazi imalike yakho.”
UJo-andra Gregory Cloete, ongumfama weenkuku osuka eNtshona Koloni, uyavumelana noku. Uthi amafama kufuneka aziqhelanise ngokupheleleyo namashishini abo ukwenzela ukuba bazithengise iziveliso zabo ngempumelelo.
“Ulwazi lungamandla. Zixhobise ngolwazi phambi kokuba ungene kwezolimo. Okusisiseko kukuba, ukuba akuyiphili le ndlela yokuphila, akusayi kuba nako ukwenza ingeniso esuka kuyo.”
Qinisekisa ukuba isiveliso sakho sesomgangatho onguwo
UJacques Terblanche osuka eGraceland Garlic, uthi ukuba semgangathweni kwakhona kuyinto ebalulekileyo yokungena kwimalike. “Isiveliso esisemgangathweni onguwo kusoloko kulula ukusithengisa, into ethetha ukuba kufuneka uqalise ngendlela echanekileyo. Kufuneka uqalise ngembewu yomgangatho onguwo.”
Njengomvelisi weembewu, uTerblanche uyazi ngqo ukuba into esemgangathweni ikhuliswa kwaukusuka ekuqaleni. Ucacisa ukuba amafama amancinane amele kukutyala imali kwimbewu eyiyo ukwandisa ukuvelisa kwabo.
“Akunakufumana sityalo sisemgangathweni onguwo kwimbewu ekrokrisayo. Kwakhona, qinisekisa ukuba ulandela inkqubo yokusebenzisa ifethelayiza evunyiweyo kunye nefoliyo. Ukuvelisa ukutya okusemgangathweni, kufuneka uthathe iisampula ezisuka emhlabeni, ibhalbhu, kunye namagqabi kumaxesha ngamaxesha nokuwavavanya ukuba akuqinisekanga. Ziqaphele izinambuzane nomngundo, ngenxa yokuba ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuqaphela izinto kwangethuba kusoloko kuyinto engcono.”
Uqoqosho oluncinane lukwabalulekile
NgokukaByron Booysen, ukutshintsha indlela izinto azibona ngayo koko kuphumelele njengempumelelo yemalike kwakubaluleke gqitha. Uthi ukuqala kwakhe ukuba ngumfama, ukufikelela kubathengi okanye kwimalike yezorhwebo kwakuthathwa njengeyona njongo yokugqibela. Ngoku, unovakalelo olwahlukileyo.
“Ndifumene okuchasene noku kuyeyona nyaniso. Amaxabiso [okutya] akhuphisana ngokugqithisileyo yaye axhomile ngoku, kodwa ukufikelela ekutyeni kubalulekile. Ngoko ke njengabaninizifama abancinane, thina [sisoloko] sinobuchule bokumisela imalike apho abantu bafuna ukuthenga ukutya.”
UBooysen uthi amafama kufuneka aphangalale malunga nokuba bathengisela bani. Ucacisa ukuba ukuthengisela usomashishini onebhaki ofuna ama500kg esiveliso, kungasebenza njengokuba bekuya kufumaniseka kuyinto eyimpumelelo njengokuthengisela usomashishini omkhulu kakhulu.
“Kweli nqanaba, kufuneka sibe nako ukuyila ezo ntlobo zeemalike apho, ukuba ngaba akunasiveliso saneleyo kuwe, uyakwazi kwakhona ukuthenga kwamanye amafama amancinane. Icala elingumngcipheko loku yinto yokuba akunaxabiso limiselweyo, yaye akunako ukuvelisa ngobuninzi, kodwa ngaxeshanye, uya kuba nako ukuthengisa iimpahla xa uye waseka ubudlelane bakho kunye nemalike.”
Into eyinzuzo ngokuthengisa kuqoqosho oluncinane, utsho uBooysen, kukuba oko kuphucula uluntu lwasekuhlaleni kwakho. Uyayicacisa into yokuba abaninizifama abancinane abanokunika imalike yabo oko bakufunayo nokudingekayo kakhulu bafaka igalelo ngokukhutheleyo kuqoqosho olukufutshane nabo.
“Siya kuba nako emva koko ukugcina imali eninzi kwiindawo zasekuhlaleni kwethu. Siya kuba nako ukondla abantu abaninzi yaye siya kuba nako ukuqinisekisa ukuba asithi ukuze sifumane ukutya sixhomekeke kuphela koosomashishini abaqingqa ixabiso nomthamo woko sele kufumaneka ebantwini.
“Ngoko ke, icebiso lam kuye nawuphi umfama okhoyo osaqalayo kukuba bazenzele imalike yabo bangacingi ukuba oko yinto engenakwenzeka ngenxa yawo onke amasolotya antsonkothileyo ekufuneka batsibe kuwo ukwanezisa oosomashishini abakhulu.”
