Ku tivisiwa hi 2021 hi Nhloko ya Yunivhesiti na Xandla xa Chanselara xa Unisa Prof Puleng LenkaBula, khume wa tindhawunkongomo (KTs) swi na tindhawu ta kongomo wa switirateji leswi yisaka emahlweni ku dyondza no dyondzisiwa hi yunivhesiti, ndzavisiso na swintshwa, no burisana ajenda ya malimpfuneto yo dyondza. Hikwalaho ka tindhawu leti ta nichi, Unisa yi kombisa mitlhotlho leyi kavanyetaka vanhu, ku va na xiave ka swirhangisiwa swa rixaka na swa nhluvukiso swa khotinete no tiyisisa vutiyimiseri byo humesa vutivi kongomisiwa ka xiAfirika, vululami bya nawu na nhluvukiso wo yisa emahlweni. Hi kwalaho ka ndzavisiso, swintshwa na vahlanganisi, tiCNA ti tumbuluxa mikateko ya vutivi byinthswa, neketelo wa vun’wamabindzu, ku khutaza khomexiyalazexini ku va na xiave evanhwini.
Hikokwalaho ka yini tindhawunkongomiso to hatlisisa ti ri na nkoka
TTindhawunkongomiso to hatlisisa ta khume ti kombisa vutiyimiseri ku humesa vutivi lebyi hlamulaka mikateko na mitlhotlho ya tiyiso-misava. Ku tisa vutivi byo suka ka tidyondzo to hambana, ti seketela ndzavisiso, swintshwa na burisana lowu nga na xiave ka nhluvukiso wav ahu, ku kula ka ikhonomi na switshunxo rhangeriwa swa Xiafirika.
Ku hlayisa nkoka wa malwadle ya Afirika Dzonga, ndhawunkongomiso, ndhawukongomiso wu yisa emahlweni ndzavisiso na swintshwa lowu seketelaka nhluvukiso wo hlayisela swa malwandle, nhlayiso wa swihanya ematini na nkuriso wa ikhonomiki nkongomisiwa elwandle. Hi vunghana bya xitiratejiki na swisungulo swa le makumu, Unisa yi pfuneta ku vumba vumundzuku bya ikhonomi ya blue.
Ku suka ka malawulelo ya le moyeni ku ya ka tithekinoloji ta dironi, nhawukongomiso yi valanga mundzuku bya avhiyexini hi ndzavisiso, swintshwa na swikili swo hluvukisa. Unisa yi na xiave ka xiyenge xa avhiyexini xo sirheleleka, xa vutshila no katsaka hluvukiso wa ikhonomiki na vuhlanganelo.
Tanihi indhasitiri ya swifambo swi tumbulukaka ku va swifambo swa xielekitironiki na swo tumbuluxiwa hi vutlhari, Unisa yi rhangela ndzavisiso lowu seketelka ncinco ka xiyenge. Ndhawunkongomo lowu wi kongomisa eka tithekinoloji leti taka leti tiyisisaka mphikizano, yiso emahlweni na nkuriso wa indhasitiri.
Beyond Ku hlamusela yin’wana ya mitlhotlho ya matiko ya misava, ndhwunkongomiso wu valanga mpfuleleriwo wa eneji, ku yisa emahweni tithekinoloji ta tibetiri n switshunxo swa hayidirojeni y rihlaza. Unisa yi na xiave ka yiso emahlweni swinene, hlayiseka na eneji yo sihalala ya ha taka ka Afirika na kun’wana.
Ku valanga swirhangisiwa swa sayense na thekinoloji, tidhawunkogomo ti yisa emahlweni ndzavisiso ka ntivotinyeleti, tisisiteme ta satelayiti, vutlhari nkala ntumbuluko na tisayense ta data. Hi vuhlanganisi bya misava hinkwayo, Unisa yi pfuneta swilo wintshwa mayelana na misava hinkwayo naswona yi hluvukisa tithekinoloji ta mundzuku.
Ku suka ka tijenomiki. ku yisa emahlweni, ndhawunkongomo ley yi yisa emahlweni vhumbunuko lowu hlamuselaka mitlhotlho leyi nga eka vanhu. Ndzavisiso wa Unisa wu pfuneta ku tisa ncinco wa rihanyu, vusirheleli bya swakudya na ku yisa emahlweni mbangu eka khontinente.
Kongomana no antswisa vutomi hi sayense na ncinco, ndhawunkongomo yi yisa emahlweni ndzavisiso wa rihanyu, nsivela mavabyi na nhluvukiso wa famasi. Yunisa yi na xiave ka switshunxo leswi tiyisisaka tisisiteme ta rihanyu no antwisa vutomi bya vanhu eAfirika na le handle.
Mitsuhatiwa eka Mpfuneta kongomisiwa ka Afirika, ndhawukongomo ley yi yisa emahweni vutivi lebyi tlakusaka rimbewu, cinco wav ahu na xindzhuti. Hikwalaho ka ndzavisiso na vulavurisano, Unisa yi pfuneta ku cinca vaakatiko lava katsiwaka swinene nak u eingana.
Ku humelela ka xichudeni swi le xikarhi ka ndhawunkongomo leyi, yi valangaka maendlelo ya swintshwa ku seketela ku dyondza, vumunhu na nhluvukiso wa munhu. Unisa yi tumbuluxa minkateko yo nyika matimba swichudeni ku humelela ka xiakhademiki, xiphurofexinali na vutomi hinkwabyo.
