Ukusabela kwirhafu eyi30% esandula ukuphunyezwa yiMelika kuzo zonke izinto ezithunyelwa nguMzantsi Afrika, kuquka iRooibos, iBhunga leRooibos laseMzantsi Afrika (SARC) liqalise uthethathethwano olulungelelanisiweyo neSebe lezoRhwebo, uShishino noKhuphiswano (DTIC) kunye noNozakuzaku waseMelika ukuxhasa ukucuthwa okanye ukususwa kwerhafu.
ISARC igxininisa ukuba iRooibos yimveliso yaseMzantsi Afrika eyodwa, ekhuliswa ngokukodwa kwingingqi encinci yeNtshona Koloni kwaye ayilinywa naphi na ehlabathini, kuquka neMelika.
Ngaloo ndlela, ayinikezi ngxaki yokukhuphisana kwimveliso yezolimo yaseMelika okanye imveliso yasekhaya, itshilo iSARC.
Ithi ngaphezu kwe90% yeRooibos ethunyelwa eMelika ithunyelwa ngobuninzi bayo ukuze ixutywe, ipakishwe kwaye ithengiswe ziinkampani zaseMelika, ezixhasa ukongezwa kwexabiso, nezivuselela ushishino lwasekhaya kunye nokudala imisebenzi kwimarike yaseMelika.
Ifuthe elipheleleyo kushishino lweRooibos liza kucaca ngakumbi kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zizayo, iMelika ngoku ifumana le mveliso nemalunga ne5% yazo zonke iimveliso zeRooibos ezithunyelwa ngaphandle. Nangona iMelika iyimarike ebalulekileyo, ukuduma kweli shishini kuxhaswa ngandlel’ ithile sisiseko sabathengi behlabathi ngokubanzi kwaye ngokuthe ngcembe.
USihlalo weSARC, uDawie de Villiers, uthe: "Eyona nto iphambili kuthi kukuxhasa abavelisi beRooibos kunye nabathumela ngaphandle kweli xesha linzima.
"Sisebenzisana ngokukhutheleyo nabachaphazelekayo kwaye siphonononga onke amathuba okuqinisekisa ukuba iRooibos ihlala ithengiswa kwimarike yaseMelika, ngelixa isomeleza ubukho bethu kwezinye iimarike zamazwe ngamazwe."
