Ezokuthutha e-Eswatini

Umzila omkhulu womgwaqo usuka eNgwenya udlule eMbabane, eManzini naseMatsapha uye ngaseLomahasha. Imigwaqo enophawu lwe-MR iyimigwaqo emikhulu, kanti u-D uyimigwaqo yezifunda; eminye imigwaqo yasemaphandleni engu-D iyitshe elichotshoziwe noma iyahambeka kuzo zonke izimo zezulu. UMnyango Wezemigwaqo uphatha ingqalasizinda yemigwaqo ngezifunda ezine zokuyilungisa. Izimoto ziningi kakhulu ku-MR3 phakathi kweMbabane neManzini, kuyilapho ukuhamba ngezinyawo nezimo zemigwaqo kubaluleke kakhulu ezindaweni zasemaphandleni. Ezokuthutha zomphakathi zisunguliwe futhi zisetshenziswa kabanzi. Amabhasi, ama-kombi noma amakhumbi namabhasi amancane aphakathi nendawo ahlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezineshejuli noma ezihamba ngokwesidingo. Isevisi eneshejuli ilandela umzila nesikhathi esishicilelwe; engahleliwe isuka uma sekukhona abagibeli noma esinye isidingo. Abagibeli bavame ukusebenzisa izindawo ezibizwa ngama-rank, okuyizindawo ezibekiwe zokugibela nezokusuka. I-Road Transportation Board (RTB) ne-Road Transportation Department (RTD) balawula izinsizakalo ngezimvume, futhi imvume kufanele igcinwe emotweni. Amatekisi azimele angenye indlela yokuhweba. Izikhathi zokusuka nezimali zingahluka ngesevisi nangendawo; alikho ishejuli kazwelonke eqinisekisiwe enezikhawu ezifanayo. Izimali zamabhasi ezishicilelwe ngokusemthethweni zango-2020 zazingu-E7.70 ohambweni olufika ku-8 km, u-E0.66 ngekhilomitha ohambweni olungaphezu kuka-8 km olufika ku-50 km, no-E0.63 ngekhilomitha uma lungaphezu kuka-50 km. Ukuchitshiyelwa kwemali kwaphasiswa yiPhalamende ngo-2022, ngakho imali yohambo oluthile kufanele iqinisekiswe kuGazette yakamuva noma endaweni efanele yokugibela. Lezi zibalo aziqinisekisi imali ekhokhwayo yamanje kuyo yonke imoto noma uhambo. Ukushayela imoto yangasese kudinga ilayisensi yokufunda, ilayisensi yokushayela etholwa ngokuhlolwa kwe-RTD nemoto ebhalisiwe ehlangabezana nezimfuneko zokufaneleka ukuhamba emgwaqweni. I-PrDP, noma iProfessional Driving Permit, isebenza kubashayeli abangochwepheshe futhi isebenzisa uhlelo lokushayela lwe-K53. Ukubhaliswa kwemoto kwenziwa ngedijithali yi-Eswatini Revenue Service (ERS), isitifiketi sikhishwa ngokushesha; ukuvuselela kulandela uhlelo oluqhubekayo, hhayi izikhathi ezine zekota ezimisiwe. Ukuhlolwa kokufaneleka komgwaqo kuyadingeka uma kushintsha ubunikazi. Izimoto zesevisi yomphakathi zidinga iCertificate of Fitness okungenani njalo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha. Izimali zikahulumeni zamanje ziyahlukahluka futhi azizange ziqinisekiswe ngokuphelele ocwaningweni olutholakalayo. E-Eswatini kushayelwa kwesokunxele. Abashayeli kufanele balandele umkhawulo wejubane obekiwe noma obhalwe uphawu; umakhalekhukhwini noma enye idivayisi yokuxhumana ingasetshenziswa kuphela nge-hands-free uma ushayela. Izimoto kufanele zibhaliswe futhi zinelayisensi, futhi akuvunyelwe ukuthutha abagibeli abakhokhayo ngemoto ethwala izimpahla. Abahloli be-RTD neRoyal Eswatini Police baphoqelela imithetho yezokuthutha neyomgwaqo. Ukuphepha emgwaqweni kuseyinkinga enkulu: kusukela ku-Ephreli kuya kuDisemba 2024, izwe laba nezingozi ezibulalayo ezingu-141 nezingozi ezingu-545 ezalimaza kabi abantu, uma kuqhathaniswa nezingu-180 nezingu-557 ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2023. Abahamba ngezinyawo basengozini ikakhulukazi ezingxenyeni ezimatasa ze-MR3 ne-MR8. Ngo-2024, iziphathimandla zaphinde zabamba izilwane ezilahlekile ezingu-674 ezitholwe kunethiwekhi yemigwaqo. I-Eswatini Railways isebenzisa ujantshi ongaba ngu-301 km futhi isebenza ubusuku nemini. Ujantshi uthutha ikakhulukazi impahla enjengophethiloli, ukolweni, amalahle, usimende, ushukela, izimoto, i-ethanol neziqukathi. I-Matsapha Inland Container Depot and Dry Port ixhumanisa ukuthutha impahla neMaputo neMatola eMozambique, iRichards Bay neDurban eNingizimu Afrika, nezimakethe ezibanzi ze-SADC ne-DRC. Izikhathi ezivamile zokuthutha cishe usuku olulodwa ukuya eMaputo, izinsuku ezimbili ukuya eRichards Bay nezintathu ukuya eDurban. Ujantshi wabagibeli awuhlinzeki ngesevisi yansuku zonke ethembekile phakathi kwamadolobha; kunezitimela zezivakashi noma zabagibeli ngezikhathi ezithile, kodwa ujantshi awubalulekile kakhulu ohambweni lomuntu lwansuku zonke. Iphrojekthi yeLothair-Sidvokodvo engu-146 km ihlose ukwandisa amandla okuthutha impahla futhi ihlanganisa nokuthuthwa kwabantu ngenxa yokwakhiwa. IKing Mswati III International Airport eSikhuphe iyisango elikhulu lokungena ngomoya. I-Eswatini Air inezindiza eziya ngqo eJohannesburg, eCape Town, eDurban naseHarare. Izindleko ezishicilelwe zohambo lokuya kuphela, nezintela zifakiwe, zazingu-SZL 1,300 ukuya eJohannesburg noma eDurban, u-SZL 2,100 ukuya eCape Town no-SZL 2,200 ukuya eHarare. Izithuthi ezisuka esikhumulweni sezindiza zingase zibe mahhala noma zihlelwe kusenesikhathi, kuye ngokutholakala. Imigwaqo yesifunda ixhumanisa i-Eswatini neNingizimu Afrika neMozambique. Izikhathi zokuvulwa kwemingcele ziyahlukahluka: iNgwenya ivulwa ngo-07:00 kuya ku-24:00, iLavumisa neMahamba ngo-07:00 kuya ku-22:00, iMatsamo ngo-07:00 kuya ku-20:00, iMananga ngo-07:00 kuya ku-18:00, iSandlane ngo-08:00 kuya ku-18:00, iMhlumeni amahora angu-24, iLomahasha ngo-07:00 kuya ku-20:00, iSicunusa neNsalitje ngo-08:00 kuya ku-18:00, kanti iBulembu, iLundzi neGege ngo-08:00 kuya ku-16:00. Uhambo olunqamula umngcele lungadinga amaphepha ohambo, ukuhlolwa kwempahla engenayo nephumayo, izimvume zomgwaqo noma ilayisensi yokuthutha ye-COMESA, kuye ngemoto nenhloso. Ukuhamba ngezinyawo kuvamile futhi kungahlanganisa amabanga amade, ikakhulukazi lapho ezokuthutha zomphakathi noma imigwaqo egandayiwe ingatholakali kakhulu. Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili kungenzeka endaweni ethile, kodwa alukho uxhaxha lukazwelonke oluqinisekisiwe lwemizila yamabhayisikili noma uhlelo lokuqasha amabhayisikili. Inqubomgomo yase-Eswatini isekela ezokuthutha ezingasebenzisi injini, izindawo ezingenazimoto, imizila yamabhayisikili nezokuthutha ngobuningi, nakuba kungaqinisekisiwe ukuthi lokhu sekwenziwe ezweni lonke. Ezokuthutha zisebenzisa cishe u-35% wamandla okugcina asetshenziswa ezweni, kanti uphethiloli onguketshezi usaqavile. Izinyathelo zenqubomgomo zihlanganisa amazinga okonga uphethiloli, ukuhlolwa kokusebenza kwezimoto minyaka yonke, ukushayela ngendlela eyonga amandla, ukwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwamabhasi nezokuthutha ngobuningi, ukuhamba ngezinyawo, ukuhamba ngebhayisikili nezimoto ezihlanganisa injini evamile nogesi noma ezisebenza ngogesi. Uhlelo lukahulumeni luka-2026–2028 luhlanganisa ukuhlelwa kabusha kwezokuthutha zomphakathi namabhasi nezimoto zikagesi zokuhlola. Umgomo kazwelonke wokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwamagesi ngo-2035 usebenza kuwo wonke umnotho, hhayi ezokuthutha kuphela.
