IMarike yeCoatings yaseAfrika: Amathuba kunye neengxaki zoNyaka oMtsha

Uqoqosho lwase-Afrika kulindeleke ukuba lukhule kancinci ngo-2024, oorhulumente belizwekazi belindele ukwanda koqoqosho ngo-2025. Oku kuya kuvula indlela yokuvuselelwa nokuphunyezwa kweeprojekthi zeziseko zophuhliso, ingakumbi kwezothutho, amandla kunye nezindlu, ezihlala zinxulunyaniswa nokusetyenziswa okwandisiweyo kweentlobo ezahlukeneyo zeengubo.

Imbono entsha yoqoqosho lwaseAfrika yiBhanki yoPhuhliso lwaseAfrika (i-AfDB) yengingqi iqikelela ukuba uqoqosho lweli lizwekazi luza kunyuka luye kwi-3.7% ngo-2024 kunye ne-4.3% ngo-2025.

“Ukwanda okuqikelelweyo kokukhula okuqhelekileyo kwe-Afrika kuza kukhokelwa yi-East Africa (ukunyuka ngama-3.4 ekhulwini) kunye ne-Southern Africa kunye ne-West Africa (nganye inyuka ngama-0.6 ekhulwini),” itsho ingxelo ye-AfDB.

Ubuncinane amazwe angama-40 aseAfrika “aza kukhula kakhulu ngo-2024 xa kuthelekiswa no-2023, kwaye inani lamazwe anomlinganiselo wokukhula ongaphezulu kwe-5% liza kunyuka liye kwi-17,” yongeza ibhanki.

Olu hlumo lulindelweyo, nangona luncinci, kulindeleke ukuba luxhase iphulo laseAfrika lokunciphisa umthwalo wamatyala angaphandle, lukhuthaze iiprojekthi zeziseko zophuhliso eziqhubekayo nezilibazisekayo, ingakumbi izindlu ezifikelelekayo, iindlela, oololiwe, kunye namaziko emfundo ukuze kuhlangatyezwane nabafundi abakhula ngokukhawuleza.

Iiprojekthi zeZiseko zoPhuhliso

Iiprojekthi ezininzi zeziseko zophuhliso ziyaqhubeka kumazwe amaninzi aseAfrika nangona unyaka ka-2024 ufikelela esiphelweni, abanye babathengisi beengubo kulo mmandla bexela ukunyuka kwengeniso yentengiso kwikota yokuqala, yesibini, neyesithathu yonyaka ngenxa yokusebenza kakuhle kwamacandelo okuvelisa izinto ezifana nomzi-mveliso weemoto kunye notyalo-mali olongezelelweyo kwicandelo lezindlu.

Umzekelo, omnye wabavelisi bepeyinti abakhulu eMpuma Afrika, iCrown Paints (Kenya) PLC eyasekwa ngo-1958, ibone ukukhula kwe-10% kwingeniso kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka esiphele ngoJuni 30, 2024 ukuya kwi-US $47.6 yezigidi xa kuthelekiswa ne-US $43 yezigidi kunyaka ophelileyo.

Inzuzo yenkampani ngaphambi kwerhafu yayimi kwi-US$1.1 yezigidi xa ithelekiswa ne-US$568,700 kwixesha eliphele nge-30 kaJuni 2023, ukunyuka okubangelwe “kukukhula kwenani lentengiso.”

“Inzuzo iyonke ikwanyuswe kukomelela kwesheleni yaseKenya xa ithelekiswa nemali ezinkulu zehlabathi ngexesha eliphele nge-30 kaJuni 2024 kwaye amazinga okutshintshiselana alungileyo aqinisekisile uzinzo kumaxabiso ezinto ezikrwada ezingeniswa kwamanye amazwe,” utshilo uConrad Nyikuri, unobhala wenkampani yeCrown Paints.

Ukusebenza kakuhle kweCrown Paints kunefuthe elikhulu ekuthengisweni kwezinye iimpawu ezivela kumaqela ehlabathi athengisa iimveliso zawo eMpuma Afrika.

Ngaphandle koluhlu lwayo lweepeyinti zeemoto ezifumaneka phantsi kweMotocryl yayo kwimarike engekho sesikweni, iCrown Paints ikwabonelela ngeDuco brand kunye neemveliso eziphambili kwihlabathi ezivela kwiNexa Autocolour (PPG) kunye neDuxone (Axalta Coating Systems) kunye nenkampani ephambili yeekhemikhali zokuncamathelisa nezokwakha, iPidilite. Okwangoku, uluhlu lweepeyinti zeCrown Silicone lwenziwa phantsi kwelayisenisi evela kwiWacker Chemie AG.

Kwenye indawo, inkampani enkulu ye-oyile, igesi kunye neengubo zaselwandle i-Akzo Nobel, apho iCrown Paints inesivumelwano sokubonelela, ithi intengiso yayo e-Afrika, imakethi eyinxalenye yeYurophu, ummandla weMpuma Ephakathi, ibonise ukunyuka kwentengiso yezinto eziphilayo nge-2% kunye nengeniso ye-1% kwikota yesithathu ka-2024. Inkampani ithi ukukhula kwentengiso yezinto eziphilayo kuqhutywe kakhulu "ngamaxabiso amahle."

Imbono entle efanayo ixelwe yiPPG Industries, ethi “ukuthengiswa kwezinto eziphilayo unyaka nonyaka eYurophu, eMbindi Mpuma naseAfrika bekuthe tyaba, nto leyo ethetha ukuba izinto zihambe kakuhle emva kokwehla kwezine.”

Oku kwanda kokusetyenziswa kweepeyinti kunye neengubo eAfrika kunokubangelwa kukwanda kwemfuno yophuhliso lweziseko ezingundoqo enxulunyaniswa nomkhwa okhulayo wokukhula kokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zabucala, ishishini leemoto elizinzileyo kulo mmandla kunye nokwanda kokwakhiwa kwezindlu kumazwe afana neKenya, iUganda neJiphutha.

“Ngenxa yokukhula kodidi oluphakathi kunye nokunyuka kweendleko zokusetyenziswa kwezindlu, ukusetyenziswa kwabucala eAfrika kunika amathuba abalulekileyo ophuhliso lweziseko,” itsho ingxelo ye-AfDB.

Enyanisweni, ibhanki ibona ukuba kwiminyaka eli-10 edlulileyo “inkcitho yokusetyenziswa kwezinto zabucala e-Afrika ibikhula ngokuthe chu, iqhutywa zizinto ezifana nokukhula kwabantu, ukufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini, kunye nokukhula kodidi oluphakathi.”

Le bhanki ithi inkcitho yokusetyenziswa kwabucala eAfrika ikhule ukusuka kwi-$470 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2010 ukuya ngaphezulu kwe-$1.4 trillion ngo-2020, nto leyo ebonisa ukwanda okukhulu okudale "imfuno ekhulayo yeziseko zophuhliso eziphuculweyo, kubandakanya uthungelwano lwezothutho, iinkqubo zamandla, unxibelelwano, kunye nezibonelelo zamanzi nococeko."

Ngaphezu koko, oorhulumente abahlukeneyo kulo mmandla bakhuthaza i-ajenda yezindlu ezifikelelekayo ukuze kufezekiswe ubuncinane izindlu ezingama-50 ezigidi ukujongana nokunqongophala kweli lizwekazi. Oku mhlawumbi kuchaza ukwanda kokusetyenziswa kweengubo zokwakha nezokuhlobisa ngo-2024, umkhwa okulindeleke ukuba uqhubeke ngo-2025 njengoko ukugqitywa kweeprojekthi ezininzi kulindeleke kwixesha eliphakathi ukuya kwixesha elide.

Okwangoku, nangona iAfrika ilindele ukungena kunyaka ka-2025 ivuya kakhulu kushishino lweemoto olukhulayo, kusekho ukungaqiniseki kwimarike yehlabathi okunxulunyaniswa nemfuno ebuthathaka yehlabathi eye yanciphisa isabelo selizwekazi kwimarike yokuthumela ngaphandle kunye nokungazinzi kwezopolitiko kumazwe afana neSudan, iDemocratic Republic of Congo (DRC) kunye neMozambique.

Umzekelo, ishishini leemoto laseGhana, elalixabisa i-US$4.6 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2021, kulindeleke ukuba lifikelele kwi-US$10.64 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2027 ngokwengxelo yabaphathi beDawa Industrial Zone, indawo yemizi-mveliso eyilwe ngenjongo eGhana eyenzelwe ukubamba uluhlu olubanzi lwamashishini alula nanzima kumacandelo ahlukeneyo.

“Olu luhlu lokukhula lugxininisa amandla amakhulu aseAfrika njengemarike yeemoto,” itsho ingxelo.

“Ukwanda kwemfuno yezithuthi kweli lizwekazi, kunye nomnqweno wokuzimela kwimveliso, kuvula iindlela ezintsha zotyalo-mali, intsebenziswano yezobuchwepheshe, kunye nobudlelwane nezikhulu zeemoto zehlabathi,” yongeza.

EMzantsi Afrika, iBhunga leShishini leeMoto (naamsa) lelizwe, eliyi-lobby yeshishini leemoto laseMzantsi Afrika, lithi imveliso yezithuthi kweli lizwe inyuke nge-13.9%, ukusuka kwiiyunithi ezingama-555,885 ngo-2022 ukuya kwiiyunithi ezingama-633,332 ngo-2023, “idlula ukwanda kwemveliso yezithuthi zehlabathi nge-10.3% ngonyaka ka-2023.”

Ukoyisa Imingeni

Ukusebenza koqoqosho lwaseAfrika kunyaka omtsha kuya kuxhomekeka kakhulu kwindlela oorhulumente kwilizwekazi abajongana ngayo neminye yemingeni enokuthi ichaphazele ngokuthe ngqo okanye ngokungathanga ngqo imakethi yengubo yelizwekazi.

Umzekelo, imfazwe yamakhaya eqhubekayo eSudan iyaqhubeka nokutshabalalisa iziseko ezibalulekileyo ezifana nezothutho, izakhiwo zokuhlala nezorhwebo kwaye ngaphandle kozinzo kwezopolitiko, ukusebenza nokugcinwa kweempahla ngabakhi beengubo kuye kwaba yinto engenakwenzeka.

Nangona ukutshatyalaliswa kweziseko zophuhliso kuya kudala amathuba oshishino kubavelisi kunye nababoneleli ngeengubo ngexesha lokwakhiwa kwakhona, impembelelo yemfazwe kuqoqosho inokuba yintlekele kwixesha eliphakathi ukuya kwixesha elide.

“Impembelelo yengxabano kuqoqosho lwaseSudan ibonakala inzulu kakhulu kunokuba bekujongwe ngaphambili, apho ukwehla kwemveliso yokwenyani kunyuke ngaphezu kwezihlandlo ezithathu ukuya kwi-37.5 ekhulwini ngo-2023, ukusuka kwi-12.3 ekhulwini ngoJanuwari 2024,” itsho i-AfDB.

“Le ngxabano ikwanegalelo elikhulu ekusulelekeni, ingakumbi eMzantsi Sudan oselumelwaneni, oxhomekeke kakhulu kwimibhobho kunye neendawo zokucocisa iioli zangaphambili, kunye neziseko zophuhliso zezibuko zokuthumela ioyile kwamanye amazwe,” yongeza.

Le ngxabano, ngokutsho kwe-AfDB, ibangele umonakalo omkhulu kumandla abalulekileyo kwezoshishino kunye neziseko zophuhliso ezinkulu kunye neekhonkco zokubonelela, nto leyo ebangele imiqobo ebalulekileyo kurhwebo lwangaphandle kunye nokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe.

Ityala laseAfrika likwabeka emngciphekweni amandla oorhulumente kulo mmandla okuchitha imali kwiingubo ezinzima ezitya amacandelo afana noshishino lokwakha.

“Kwinkoliso yamazwe aseAfrika, iindleko zokulungiswa kwamatyala zinyukile, zibangela ubunzima kwimali karhulumente, kwaye zithintela umda wokusetyenziswa kweziseko zophuhliso zikarhulumente kunye notyalo-mali kwizakhono zabantu, nto leyo egcina ilizwekazi likwimeko embi ebambe iAfrika kwindlela yokukhula okuphantsi,” yongeza ibhanki.

Kwimarike yaseMzantsi Afrika, iSapma kunye namalungu ayo kufuneka balungiselele ulawulo oluqinileyo lwezoqoqosho njengoko ukunyuka kwamaxabiso aphezulu, ukunqongophala kwamandla, kunye neengxaki zezothutho zibangela imiqobo yokukhula kumacandelo okuvelisa kunye nezemigodi kweli lizwe.

Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokunyuka okuqikelelweyo koqoqosho lwaseAfrika kunye nokunyuka okulindelweyo kwinkcitho-mali ngoorhulumente kulo mmandla, imakethi yeengubo zelizwekazi ingakhula ngo-2025 nangaphaya koko.
