Ngomhlaka-12 Agasti, inkampani ehamba phambili yokukhiqiza i-aluminium eMpumalanga Ephakathi, i-Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), yamemezela uhlelo lwayo lokuqalisa kabusha, ihlela ukutshala imali engaba yizigidi ezingama-400 zamaRandi ukulungisa isikhungo sokuncibilikisa i-aluminium esonakele e-Abu Dhabi kanye nokukhuthaza ukubuyela kwamandla okukhiqiza emazingeni ajwayelekile.

Ngokusho kwesitatimende esikhishwe yinkampani, lo mshini wokuncibilikisa uhlose ukubuyisela umkhiqizo emazingeni angaphambi kwempi kwikota yokuqala yonyaka ozayo, futhi umsebenzi wokuqalisa kabusha ohlobene nawo uyasheshiswa. Kube nentuthuko enkulu ekuqaliseni kabusha amandla okukhiqiza, cishe amaseli e-electrolytic angaphansi kwefektri aqala ukusebenza kabusha. Uma kuqhathaniswa nesilinganiso sokuqala esingu-7% ekuqaleni kukaJulayi, ijubane lokuqalisa kabusha liyaqhubeka nokusheshisa.

Lokhu kuphazamiseka kwamandla okukhiqiza kubangelwa umonakalo wezindawo zokuncibilikisa insimbi. Ngaphambilini, ngenxa yomthelela walesi senzakalo, i-EGA yamemezela ukuqala kwe-force majeure futhi yamisa ukulethwa kwamanye ama-oda, okwaba nomthelela wesikhashana ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwe-aluminium yesifunda. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi yize ukuphela kokukhiqiza kunqunyelwe, inkampani ayikayeki ngokuphelele ukuthumela kwamanye amazwe, futhi iyaqhubeka nokwenza ukuthunyelwa kwemikhiqizo ye-aluminium ngemizila yezokuthutha edlula i-Strait of Hormuz, okuthi ngezinga elithile kunciphise ukulindela kwe-tight global global.i-aluminiyamu engabonakaliukuhlinzekwa.

Ngokombono wemakethe ye-aluminium yomhlaba wonke, njengomkhiqizi oyinhloko we-aluminium eMpumalanga Ephakathi, inqubekela phambili yokubuyisa amandla e-EGA ibilokhu iyinkinga yochungechunge lwemboni isikhathi eside. Esikhathini esifushane, amaseli e-electrolytic azoqala kabusha kancane kancane, ngesivinini esincane sokukhululwa okuqhubekayo, futhi ngeke akhiphe inani elikhulu lama-ingot e-aluminium emakethe ngesikhathi esisodwa; Esikhathini esiphakathi kuya esikhathini eside, uma amandla okukhiqiza esebuyele ngokuphelele emazingeni angaphambi kwempi kwikota yokuqala yonyaka ozayo, izokwandisa ukunikezwa kwe-aluminium eyinhloko emhlabeni wonke futhi ilawule iphethini yokuhlinzekwa kwe-aluminium phesheya kwezilwandle.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kusenokungabaza ngesimo sezwe. Izinguquko ezilandelayo ezindleleni zokuthutha izinto, izingozi zokuthunyelwa kwezimpahla zesifunda, kanye nenqubekela phambili yokulungisa imishini konke kungase kuphazamise uhlelo lokuqalisa kabusha olusunguliwe. Imakethe ye-aluminium yasekhaya nayo idinga ukulandelela njalo umphumela wokudluliselwa kokwanda kokunikezwa kwamanye amazwe, futhi yahlulele ngokuphelele ukuthambekela kwemakethe ngokusekelwe ezinqubweni zokusetshenziswa kwamandla zasekhaya, amaphrofayili angezansi, ukupakisha, kanye nesidingo sangempela semboni yezimoto.
