Lubhalwe nguThabo Molelekwa for Oxpeckers
INingizimu Afrika ithole cishe u-$14 billion ezibophweni zezezimali zamazwe ngamazwe kusukela yethula i-Just Energy Transition Partnership (i-JETP) namazwe acebile anikela ngemali ukuze kuxhaswe ukusuka kwezokumbiwa phansi ngo-2021.
Kodwa idatha yoxhaso ebuyekezwe ngabakwa-Oxpeckers ibonisa ukuthi, nakuba abanye ozakwethu bamazwe ngamazwe baye babele izibopho zabo eziningi, abanye abakaqali ukuhambisa imali kumaphrojekthi woshintsho.
IGermany yabele yonke isibopho sayo sika-US $2.68 billion. IBhange Lomhlaba labele i-package yabo ka-US$1 billion. ISpain, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ikhiphe u-US$3 million nje wesibopho sika-US$2.28 billion, kanti i-Accelerating Coal Transition Investment Plan indlela yokuxhasa ngezimali iClimate Investment Funds yabele u-US$50 million wesithembiso sayo sika-US$2.6 billion.
Sekukonke, cishe kungu-US $5.8 billion yemali ecishe ibe ngu:US$14 billion noma (41%) eyabelwe amaphrojekthi nezinhlelo zenguquko.

Lezi zibalo zethulwe ngesikhathi sengxoxo yenqubomgomo kaMengameli yeKhomishana Yesimo Sezulu (i-PCC) eyayibanjwe ngoNhlaba ka-2026, lapho izikhulu zikahulumeni, abezimali, omasipala, abacwaningi kanye nezinhlangano zomphakathi babuthana ukuze bahlole inqubekelaphambili ekushintsheni kukagesi eNingizimu Afrika.
NgokukaNeil Cole, oyimenenja yezimali ophikweni lwe-JET Project Management, udaba akulona nje igebe lezezimali.
“Asinakho ukushoda kwemali eNingizimu Afrika,” u-Cole etshela i-Oxpeckers. “Esinakho ukushoda kwepayipi lephrojekthi kanye nokwesekwa kokulungiselela lawo maphrojekthi.”
Ukuhlola kwakhe kukhombisa ukuguquguquka okuphawulekayo ekukhathazekeni obekubusa ezigabeni zangaphambili zoshinstho lwaseNingizimu Afrika.
Kulandela imali ye-JETP kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2023 (i-Pledges roll in for SA’s energy transition), iphrojekthi ye-Oxpeckers #PowerTracker ihlonze ubuthaka bezimali zikamasipala, izinselele zokulungela amaphrojekthi kanye nezingqinamba zesikhungo njengezithiyo ezivimbela izimali zesimo sezulu ukuthi zifinyelele kumaphrojekthi.
Eminyakeni engaphezu kwemithathu kamuva, abenzi bezinqubomgomo nabezimali bayavuma ukuthi ukunakwa okwengeziwe kufanele kunikezwe ekulungiseleleni nasekuqaliseni iphrojekthi.
