Uphononongo olutsha lufumanise ukuba uMzantsi Afrika unamandla okuvula ishishini lentsangu (hemp) yemizi-mveliso yasekhaya elixabisa malunga ne-$2.5 yeebhiliyoni (malunga ne-R40 yeebhiliyoni) ngo-2040.
Ingxelo ekhutshwe yiLocalisation Support Fund, ngokubambisana ne-Industrial Development Corporation kunye neSebe lezoRhwebo, iMizi-mveliso kunye noKhuphiswano, ichaza indlela imithetho ecacileyo kunye notyalo-mali oludibeneyo olunokuvula ngayo icandelo elitsha lezoqoqosho.
UTony Budden, ingcali ye-hemp kunye ne-cannabis kunye nomseki-mnye we-Hemporium, uthe uzibonele ngokwakhe ukukhula kunye nemfuno yeemveliso ze-hemp yemizi-mveliso njengoko abathengi befuna ezinye iindlela ezizinzileyo nezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo.
I-hemp yemizi-mveliso, ngokungafaniyo ne-cannabis ebangela ingqondo, yimveliso yezolimo esetyenziselwa ukwakha kunye nempahla yokunxiba.
Uchaze ukuba ukungabikho komahluko phakathi kwezi mveliso zimbini zodwa kube ngumqobo omkhulu kweli candelo, njengoko kudideka abalimi kwaye kuphembelela ukuthandabuza kwabatyali-mali.
“Imizi-mveliso kwezolimo, ifuna izixhobo ezinkulu. Ukudibanisa ezi zimbini, kudala ingxaki enkulu yokuba usabeka ulawulo lwamachiza kwisityalo sezolimo.”
UBudden wongeze ngelithi izibonelelo ezixhaswa ngurhulumente nazo ziya kufuneka ukuze ishishini liqalise ukusebenza. Kufana namashishini aseYurophu, apho oorhulumente banikezela ngezibonelelo kubalimi ukuze bafikelele kuqoqosho olukhulu.
“Ithuba likho, injongo ikhona, kwaye kukho amanyathelo amaninzi ekufuneka athathwe ukuze kufikelelwe apho… alizukuzidala.
“Urhulumente kufuneka abambe umgca apha kwaye abe noqiniseko lolawulo.”
