Ukuheba Kwezimbuzi Zenyama eNingizimu Afrika

Ukutholakala kokuhweba inyama yembuzi eNingizimu Afrika kuncane uma kuqhathaniswa newundlu, i-mutton nezinye izinyama ezibomvu. Kunezizathu eziningi zalokhu kepha ikakhulukazi kubangelwa ukutholakala okuphansi kwemfuyo yezimbuzi emkhakheni wokuthengisa ojwayelekile kanye nolwazi olunomkhawulo lwabathengi kanye nokuqonda mayelana nezindawo nezinzuzo zempilo yezimbuzi.

Abakhiqizi bezimbuzi be-Boer bamelwa yizinhlangano zabalimi ezifana neBoerbok SA.
Imbonini yembuzi yasendlini ayihlosiwe ngendlela yezinhlaka zesifundazwe nezesifundazwe, kodwa abakhiqizi ababhalisiwe abangaba ngu-40 abangabomdabu boMdabu waseVal Goat South Africa (IVG SA). I-IVG SA igxila kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni ukulima kwezimbuzi kunesici sokumaketha inyama yezimbuzi.
Noma kunjalo, uhlelo lokuthengisa olunempumelelo kakhulu ngosizo lwabahwebi/abacabangi bezimbuzi luye lwathuthuka eminyakeni eminingi. Ngenxa yokufunwa kwezimbuzi emakethe engakahleleki kanye nokuntuleka kwezimbuzi, abalimi bathola amanani amahle, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi ezithile zonyaka, ngokuvamile bahlanganiswa nemikhosi yamasiko.
Iningi lezimbuzi zenyama ezidayiswa eNingizimu Afrika zithengiswa ngokuthengiswa kwangasese emakethe engakahleleki ezohlatshwa ngezinhloso zenkolo noma zendabuko. Izimbuzi ezidayiswa ngokuqondile epulazini zingaba phakathi kwezinyanga ezintathu kuya ku-6 nangaphezulu. Lokhu kuhlanganiswa nokuhlinzekwa kwenkathi yezimbuzi ezindala ze-Angora (+ iminyaka emihlanu), ikakhulukazi ezidayiswa ngama-agent KwaZulu-Natali.
Ukuhweba, inyama yezimbuzi ithengiswa ngamanye ama-butcheries amaSulumane eLenasia, eGoli kanye nama-spars athile kanye nokudla okuncane ezweni lonke.
Kusukela ngo-2003 kuya ku-2008 umthengisi wokudla uShoprite Checkers wayethengisa i-chevon, ebizwa ngokuthi i-CHEVON. Umkhankaso omkhulu wokufundisa umthengi mayelana ne-chevon wenziwa yinkampani yangasese ngo-2004. I-Kalahari Kid Corporation (KKC) yaphumelela ekubekeni i-chevon emashalofini wezitolo ezinkulu eNingizimu Afrika (Pick & Pay, Checkers Hypermarket kanye ne-Spar) futhi umkhankaso wokwenza abathengi bazi izimfanelo ezinhle ze-chevon.

I-Kalahari Kid Corporation yinkampani ephethwe ngokuphelele yiHulumeni waseNyakatho Kapa, ​​futhi yiyona 'Injongo Yezimoto Ezikhethekile' (SPV), esetshenziselwa ukudayisa imbonini yembuzi eNyakatho Kapa. Inhloso ukwandisa lokhu kwezinye izifundazwe zaseNingizimu Afrika. I-KKC isiza nezinye izifundazwe ngokuthuthukiswa kwama co-operative yokulima kwezimbuzi. Lokhu kungasiza abalimi bezimbuzi abasafufusa ukuba bazinze futhi, kuye ngokuthi ubukhulu bomhlaba bukhona, bukhule bube yizimboni zokulima. Izimbuzi ezibukhoma zithengwa nakwabalimi abasafufusa futhi zibafaka emkhakheni wezindleko eziphelele.
I-Indigenous Veld Goat South Africa (i-IVG SA) itusa ukuba kunakekelwa okwengeziwe ekukhuthazeni inyama yezimbuzi. Lokhu kuzosiza ukuthuthukisa imakethe yokwandisa ukufunwa komthengi. Ngalokhu, kungakhuthaza abanikazi bamasheya ukuba balimi ngezimbuzi, kunokuba bazalise nje isitoko. 'Ukuhweba ukukhiqiza inyama yezimbuzi kuzothuthukisa ukuhlatshwa kwezimbuzi emkhakheni ohleliwe futhi kungakhulisa imali engenayo eyenziwa emfuyweni yezimbuzi,' iyala i-IVG SA.

Imfundo yabathengi

Abadlali bezemfundo embonini yaseNingizimu Afrika yokulima imbuzi bayavuma ukuthi imfundo yabathengi iyisici esibaluleke kakhulu sokwandisa isidingo sokuhweba inyama yezimbuzi emkhakheni wokudayisa.
Ucwaningo olwenziwe yiNyuvesi yasePitoli ukuhlola umbono wabathengi ohlelweni lokuhlukaniswa kwezinyama ezibomvu zaseNingizimu Afrika lithole ukuthi abathengi abasebenzisa imali abaphansi abanokuqonda okulinganiselwe kwezinyama ezibomvu.
Ngisho noma abathengi bezinga eliphezulu nabathengi banokuqonda okulinganiselwe ngo-50% laba abathengi bahlole uphawu lokuhlukanisa. Izici ezihlobene zabikwa njengokubaluleke nakakhulu. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ikhwalithi, ukukhanya nokubukeka.

Olunye ucwaningo oluqhutshwa ngo-2005 nguL Simela weYunivesithi yasePitoli lunikeze abathengi (ngezinhlobo eziningi zokuthola imali kanye namaqembu obudala) namaqembu amabili wempilo yezimbuzi futhi eqhathanisa nalena newundlu kanye ne-mutton. Ngaphandle kokuhluka okuncane phakathi kwe-mutton ne-chevon (imisipha yezimbuzi inezinhlamvu ezinamafutha kakhulu kunezimvu zezimvu), abathengi bathola inyama yezimvu nezimbuzi ezineminyaka efanayo (2 kuya ku-6-amazinyo ubudala) ezamukelekayo ngokufanayo.
Kwatholakala ukuthi izinga lemfundo labathengi ngokusobala laliyisici esinamandla kunazo zonke ekwamukeleni izimfanelo zokuzwa kanye nenhloso yokusebenzisa inyama yembuzi. Ucwaningo luphetha ngokuthi i-chevon iyamukeleka kubathengi baseNingizimu Afrika futhi ingaba yamukeleka njengemithambo enikezwa inyama ivela ezimbuzi eminyakeni emibili noma encane ubudala.
