Abakhiqizi bezimoto baseChina bakhulisa utshalomali lwabo embonini yezimoto ethuthukayo eNingizimu Afrika njengoba bebheke ekusaseni eliluhlaza.
Lokhu kuza ngemuva kokuthi uMengameli waseNingizimu Afrika uMnuz Cyril Ramaphosa esayine umthetho omusha okuhloswe ngawo ukwehlisa intela ekhiqizweniizimoto ezintsha zamandla.
Lo mthethosivivinywa wethula ukwehliswa kwentela okumangazayo ngo-150% ezinkampanini ezitshala imali ekukhiqizeni izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ne-hydrogen kuleli. Lesi sinyathelo asihambisani nje nenkambiso yomhlaba wonke ebheke kwezokuthutha ezisimeme, kodwa sibeka iNingizimu Afrika njengendawo ebambe iqhaza elibalulekile emkhakheni wezimoto emhlabeni wonke.
UMike Mabasa, oyisikhulu seSouth African Automobile Manufacturers Association (NAAMSA), ukuqinisekisile ukuthi izinkampani ezintathu zaseChina zisayine izivumelwano zokugcinwa kuyimfihlo neSouth African Automotive Business Council, kodwa wenqaba ukudalula omazisi babakhiqizi. UMabasa uzwakalise ithemba ngekusasa lemboni yezimoto eNingizimu Afrika, wathi: "Ngokwesekwa okugcwele kwezinqubomgomo zikahulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika, imboni yezimoto yaseNingizimu Afrika izoheha futhi igcine ukutshalwa kwezimali okusha." Lo muzwa ugqamisa amandla okubambisana phakathi kweNingizimu Afrika nabakhiqizi baseShayina, okungakhuphula kakhulu umthamo wakuleli wokukhiqiza.
I-Competitional Landscape kanye nezinzuzo zamaqhinga
Emakethe yaseNingizimu Afrika encintisana kakhulu, abakhiqizi bezimoto baseChina njengeChery Automobile neGreat Wall Motor baqhudelana ngemakethe nabadlali asebezakhele igama emhlabeni njengeToyota Motor neVolkswagen Group.
Uhulumeni waseShayina ubelokhu ekhuthaza abakhiqizi bezimoto ukuthi batshale imali eNingizimu Afrika, okuyiphuzu eliqokonyiswe yiNxusa LaseShayina eNingizimu Afrika uWu Peng enkulumweni yakhe kaZibandlela wezi-2024. Isikhuthazo esinjalo sibalulekile, ikakhulukazi njengoba imboni yezimoto emhlabeni wonke ishintshela ezimotweni ezisebenza ngogesi ne-hydrogen, ezithathwa njengekusasa lezokuthutha.
Kodwa-ke, ukuguqukela kweNingizimu Afrika ezimotweni zikagesi (EVs) kunezinselele.
UMikel Mabasa ubalule ukuthi nakuba ukwamukelwa kwama-EV ezimakethe ezithuthukile njenge-EU kanye ne-US kuhamba kancane kunalokho obekulindelekile, iNingizimu Afrika kumele iqale ukukhiqiza lezi zimoto ukuze iqhubeke nokuncintisana. Lo mbono unanelwe ngu-Mike Whitfield, inhloko ye-Stellantis Sub-Saharan Africa, ogcizelele isidingo sokutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe kwingqalasizinda, ikakhulukazi iziteshi zokushaja, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kochungechunge oluqinile lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla olungangena emithonjeni yezimayini enothile yaseNingizimu Afrika.
Ukwakha ikusasa elisimeme ndawonye
Imboni yezimoto yaseNingizimu Afrika isempambanweni yemigwaqo, inamandla amakhulu okukhiqiza izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ne-hydrogen. INingizimu Afrika inothile ngemithombo yemvelo futhi ingumkhiqizi omkhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni we-manganese ne-nickel ores. Iphinde ibe namaminerali ayivelakancane adingekayo kumabhethri emoto kagesi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izwe liphinde libe nemayini yeplatinamu enkulu kunazo zonke, engasetshenziswa ukwenza amangqamuzana kaphethiloli ezimotweni ezisebenza nge-hydrogen. Lezi zinsiza zinikeza iNingizimu Afrika ithuba eliyingqayizivele lokuba ngumholi ekukhiqizweni kwezimoto ezintsha ezisebenza ngamandla.
Phezu kwalezi zinzuzo, uMikel Mabasa uxwayise ngokuthi uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika kumele aqhubeke nokweseka inqubomgomo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi imboni iyasinda. “Uma uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika unganikezi ukwesekwa kwenqubomgomo, imboni yezimoto yaseNingizimu Afrika izofa,” exwayisa. Lokhu kugqamisa isidingo esiphuthumayo sendlela yokusebenzisana phakathi kukahulumeni nezinkampani ezizimele ukuze kwakhiwe isimo esivumela ukutshalwa kwezimali nokusungula izinto ezintsha.
Izimoto zikagesi zinezinzuzo eziningi, okuhlanganisa ukushaja isikhathi esifushane kanye nezindleko zokunakekelwa okuphansi, okuzenza zilungele ukuhamba kwansuku zonke. Ngokuphambene, izimoto ze-hydrogen fuel cell zihamba phambili ekuhambeni amabanga amade kanye nezimo zokuthutha ezithwala kanzima ngenxa yobubanzi bazo bokushayela nokugcwalisa ngokushesha uphethiloli. Njengoba umhlaba uya ngokuya uphendukela ezixazululweni zezokuthutha ezisimeme, ukuhlanganiswa kobuchwepheshe bukagesi ne-hydrogen kubalulekile ekudaleni i-ecosystem yezimoto ebanzi futhi ephumelelayo.
Sengiphetha, ukusebenzisana phakathi kwabakhiqizi bezimoto baseShayina kanye nemboni yezimoto yaseNingizimu Afrika kumelela umzuzu obalulekile ekushintsheni emhlabeni jikelele ezimotweni ezintsha zamandla.
Njengoba amazwe emhlabeni jikelele ebona ukubaluleka kwezokuhamba esimeme, kufanele aqinise ubudlelwano bawo neChina ukuze kugqugquzelwe ukusungulwa kwezinto ezintsha nokudala umhlaba oluhlaza, ongenakungcola.
Ukwakhiwa kwezwe elisha lamandla akuyona nje into engenzeka; kuwumkhuba ongenakugwemeka odinga isenzo ngokubambisana nokubambisana. Ngokubambisana, singakha ikusasa elisimeme kanye neplanethi eluhlaza okwenzelwe izizukulwane ezizayo.
