I-Johannesburg, eMzantsi Afrika – Umbutho wabaShicileli abaZimeleyo (AIP) kunye ne-Google baye basebenzisana ukuseka iNgxowa-mali yoTshintsho lweNdaba zeDijithali (i-DNT Fund), inyathelo lokuqala lokuxhasa ukuzinza kunye nokuguqulwa kwedijithali kwezinto ezincinci, zendawo, nabapapashi beendaba abazimeleyo eMzantsi Afrika ngenkxaso-mali esekelwe kwiprojekthi ekujoliswe kuyo.

Ingxowa-mali ye-DNT ijonge ukuqaphela ukubaluleka kwabapapashi beendaba basekhaya nabazimeleyo ekugcineni inkqubo yeendaba edlamkileyo, ethembekileyo, neyohlukeneyo yomdla woluntu, kunye nokujongana nemingeni yezibonelelo ethe yachaphazela isakhono sabapapashi sokucwangcisa nokuqalisa inguqu yedijithali. amaphulo.

Ngokuzibophelela kwe-R114-million kwiminyaka emithathu (i-R38-million ngonyaka), iNgxowa-mali ye-DNT iya kubonelela ngenkxaso-mali esekelwe kwiprojekthi yokunceda abapapashi beendaba abancinci, basekhaya nabazimeleyo baphuhlise kwaye bomeleze imisebenzi yabo yedijithali, ukuphucula ukufikelela kwabaphulaphuli babo kunye nokuzibandakanya, kunye nokuphucula uzinzo lobuntatheli babo.

I-AIP kunye noGoogle ngamnye baye bancoma iNgxowa-mali ye-DNT njengenyathelo elibalulekileyo lozinzo kumajelo eendaba kunye nenguqu yedijithali eMzantsi Afrika.

• U-Anetta Mangxaba, uSihlalo woMbutho wabapapashi abaZimeleyo, uchaza iNgxowa-mali ye-DNT njengobomi obubalulekileyo kubuntatheli obuzimeleyo eMzantsi Afrika:

“Abapapashi basekuhlaleni, abazimeleyo babalulekile kwidemokhrasi esempilweni, besebenza njengabalindi beendawo abahlala kuzo kwaye bekhulisa amazwi abemi basemazingeni aphantsi. Nangona kunjalo, kwimeko yanamhlanje ecela umngeni kubuntatheli obunomdla kuluntu, iindawo ezisezantsi zaseMzantsi Afrika zijongene noxinzelelo olukhulu lwezemali kunye nemingeni yokwahlukana kwedijithali. Siyayixabisile le ntsebenziswano phakathi kwe-AIP kunye ne-Google ejolise ekujonganeni neemfuno ezikhethekileyo zabashicileli baseMzantsi Afrika abazimeleyo nabasekuhlaleni. Le ngxowa-mali siyibona njengethuba elibalulekileyo lokuxhasa abapapashi beendaba abancinci nabazimeleyo ukuze bakhule, baziqhelanise neemfuno zexesha ledijithali, kwaye bomeleze indima yabo njengamazwi asebenzayo nanamandla kuluntu lwabo,” utshilo uMangxaba.

• UMarianne Erasmus, iNkokeli yeNdaba zikaGoogle kwi-Sub-Saharan Africa, uthi iNgxowa-mali ye-DNT ijolise ekuxhaseni abapapashi beendaba abanomdla basekuhlaleni, abazimeleyo, abasekuhlaleni kunye neelwimi zoluntu ukwakha isiseko esiluqilima sedijithali, ukwandisa ukufikelela kwabaphulaphuli babo, ukuphucula ukubandakanyeka kwabafundi kunye phuhlisa izicwangciso zedatha ezisebenzayo eziza kukhokelela kwimodeli yorhwebo eyomelela:

“Siye sabonisana kwaye samamela abapapashi beendaba kunye nabaqulunqi bemigaqo-nkqubo eMzantsi Afrika ukuze baphuhlise isakhelo senkxaso-mali esiza kuxhasa ngokubonakalayo iimfuno zenguqu yedijithali yenkqubo yeendaba yasekhaya neyoluntu. Sizibophelele ekusebenzisaneni ne-AIP ukuphumeza ezi njongo, kwaye olu tyalo-mali lutsha lwe-R114-million luza kuxhasa ngemali iiprojekthi zenguqu yedijithali ngenjongo ecacileyo nebambekayo yobuchwepheshe okanye yorhwebo, njengoko kucetywe yinkqubo yeendaba zalapha ekhaya. Inkxaso-mali iya kuqhutywa kwisithuba seminyaka emithathu, kwaye iya kukhatshwa luqeqesho oluqhubekayo kwizakhono zedijithali kunye nezinto ezisisiseko ngeNyathelo leNdaba zikaGoogle, utshilo u-Erasmus.
