lsiqalo Sobukle - iGreater
St 1ucia Wetland Park
Emva kokuba ikhethwe njengeworid Heritage Site, iSt Lucia kuqhutyelwe kuyo umnyhadala womculo ovule amathuba emisebenzi ethutyana engama-800 ebantwini abahlelekileyo baseDukuduku Forest - nabakhe baxabana nabasemagunyeni ngenxa yokuhlala emhlabeni obekeiwe ukulondolozwa kwendalo.
Lo mnyhadala wawenzelwe elwandle wawungumzekelo wokungonakaliswa kwale ndawo ngabakhenkethi nenokusetyenziswa kwizinto ezahlukeneyo. Ezinye izinto ezenziwayo kuyo kukubuka izilwanyana zasendle, ukubukela iintaka namahobe nikhwele ezimotweni okanye emaphenyaneni; ukuqubha; ukuphefumla ngombhobho uphantsi kwamanzi nescuba-diving; uhambo lokusela umoya emini nasebusuku; ukuhlala kwiikharavani neentente; neentlanganiso zeecawe ezinjengokuphehlelelwa kwabantu abaninzi.
Le paki ikwindawo ntle
enokunyusa inani labakhenkethi
yaye ivule amathuba emisebenzi nto leyo iza kuphucula imeko yoqoqosho.
IGreater St Lucia Wetland Park eziihekthare ezingama-239 566 inamawaka-waka eminyaka isetyenziswa ngabantu, kodwa ayizange ikhe isetyenziswe ngabantu abaninzi. Lo mmandla wangena phantsi kwamaZulu ngexesha iobukumkani bukaShaka.
Ngo-1989 inkampani ethile yafuna ukomba e-Eastern Shores State Forest, kodwa emva kwempikiswano enkulu akuzange kuvunywe oko kuba kwakuza kwenzakalisa Io mmandla.
lkomiti eyayijongene nokuphuculwa kwawo ukuze utsale abakhankethi yathi abantu abakufutshane nawo kufuneka babe negalelo ekuphathweni kwawo ukuze bancedakale.
Uninzi lwabahlali balapria sele beqeshwe ngamashishini okhenketho, bathengisa izinto abazakhe ngezandia, bathengisa iziqhamo kubakhenkethi ukanti abanye baneendawo zokuhlala eziqeshwa ngabakhenkethi.
Kuthiwa ukufakwa kweSt Lucia kuluhlu lweeWorld HeritageSites kuwuncediie uMzantsi Afrika ngokuthi mayingambiwa ukuze iphuculelwe ezokhenketho.
