I-S.Africa icwaninga ngesinqumo senkantolo sokuthi izingxenye zomqulu wezimayini zingqubuzana nomthethosisekelo
Isisebenzi esiphatha umhlabathi senza ukuhlola okujwayelekile e-Finsch, okuyindawo yesibili ngobukhulu eNingizimu Afrika ngokukhiqiza idayimane.(Isithombe sihlonipha u-I-Petra Diamonds.)

UMnyango wezezimayini waseNingizimu Afrika uthe ucubungula isinqumo seNkantolo Ephakeme sokuthi ezinye izigaba zomqulu wezimayini wezwe, okuhlanganisa namazinga obunikazi babantu abamnyama kanye nokuthengwa kwezimpahla ezinkampanini zabamnyama, azihambisani nomthethosisekelo.

Uphiko lwemboni yezimayini uMkhandlu Wezimbiwa ugxeke izigaba ezimbalwa zomshwalense wezi-2018 okuhlanganisa nokuthi abavukuzi kumele bathenge izimpahla ezingamaphesenti angama-70 kanye no-80% wezinsiza ezinkampanini zabamnyama nokuthi amazinga obunikazi babantu abamnyama ezinkampanini zezimayini zaseNingizimu Afrika kufanele anyuke aze afike ku-30%.

Icele inkantolo ukuthi kubuyekezwe lezo zingxenye.

INkantolo Ephakeme yanquma ukuthi ungqongqoshe ngaleso sikhathi “wayengenawo amandla okushicilela usomqulu ngendlela yomthetho obopha bonke abanamalungelo okumba”, okwenza lo mthethosisekelo ube nje ithuluzi lenqubomgomo, hhayi umthetho.

Inkantolo ithe izozibekela eceleni noma izinqamule izigaba zombango.Ummeli uPeter Leon, onguzakwabo kwaHerbert Smith Freehills, uthe lesi sinyathelo sihle ezinkampanini zezimayini eziqinisekisa ukuthi zizosebenza.

Ukususwa kwemithetho yokuthengwa kwempahla kunganikeza izinkampani zezimayini ukuguquguquka okwengeziwe ekutholeni izimpahla, eziningi zazo ezithengwa kwamanye amazwe.

UMnyango Wezezimbiwa Namandla (i-DMRE) uthe usibonile isinqumo esikhishwe ngoLwesibili yiNkantolo eNkulu, ophikweni lwaseGauteng, ePitoli ngesikhathi sokubuyekezwa kwamajaji.

"I-DMRE kanye nomkhandlu wayo wezomthetho okwamanje basatadisha isinqumo senkantolo futhi bazoxhumana kabanzi ngalolu daba ngokuhamba kwesikhathi," kusho isitatimende somnyango.

Isinqumo seNkantolo eNkulu kungenzeka sidluliswe yi-DMRE, kusho inkampani yabameli iWebber Wentzel.
