Inhlangano yezikhumulo zezindiza imise isikhulu kusalindwe uphenyo lokungaziphathi

Entuthukweni yakamuva e-Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), iSikhulu Esiphezulu Solwazi simisiwe emsebenzini kulandela ukudalulwa kobufakazi bokungaziphathi kahle okuhlobene nephrojekthi ye-biometric kanye ne-digital identity technology.

Ekuqaleni, i-ACSA yayikhiphe isitatimende kwabezindaba iqinisekisa ukungabikho kwezinsolo zokungahambi kahle ezinhlelweni zokuthengwa kwempahla njengoba kubonisiwe ezinqubweni zomthetho eziqhubekayo eNkantolo Ephakeme.

Kodwa-ke, uphenyo lokuqala olwenziwa yi-ACSA manje seluveze ubufakazi bokuqala bokungaziphathi kahle obuhlobene nephrojekthi ye-biometric kanye ne-digital identity technology, okwenze ukuthi kumiswe iSikhulu Esiphezulu Solwazi.

NgoMeyi 2022, i-ACSA yaqala inqubo yokuthengwa kwempahla yephrojekthi ye-Automated Border Control (ABC), ebandakanya ama-eGates kanye nezinhlelo zamathokheni owodwa azosetshenziswa phakathi nezinyanga ezingama-60.

Inkampani yezobuchwepheshe yamazwe ngamazwe yaseFrance i-IDEMIA ithole inkontileka yenani lika-R115 million. Imigomo ibeka ukuthi u-30% yenani lenkontileka kufanele unikezwe i-EME noma i-QSE yabantu abamnyama yaseNingizimu Afrika, okuholele ekutheni i-IDEMIA isebenzisane ne-InfoVerge ukuze ihlangabezane nale mfuneko.

Nokho, ukungaboni ngaso linye phakathi kwe-IDEMIA ne-InfoVerge kwaphakama, okuholele ekutheni i-ACSA ingenele emzamweni wokuxazulula ukungqubuzana nokuqinisekisa ukugcwaliseka kwenkontileka. Yize i-ACSA ibambe iqhaza, umbango uqhubekile nokwaholela ekutheni i-InfoVerge ithathe izinyathelo zomthetho ukuze inselele umklomelo wenkontileka ye-IDEMIA.
