  • What Is a General Valuation Roll?
    General Valuation 2018 (GV2018) What is a General Valuation Roll? A General Valuation Roll is a document containing the municipal valuations of about 875 000 registered properties within the boundaries of Cape Town. All properties on the GV Roll are valued at market value as of the date of valuation. Every municipality is legally required to produce a General Valuation Roll at least once every four years but the City of Cape Town produces theirs every three years, to help mitigate big fluctuations in property values. General Valuation Roll for 2018 (GV2018)? The GV2018 Roll is scheduled to be certified by the municipal valuer on 31 January 2019 and will be implemented together with the approved budget on 1 July 2019. The valuation of all properties on the GV2018 Roll is determined according to market conditions on the date of valuation as at 2 July 2018. The rate-in-the-rand to be taxed against property values, will be determined by Council in March 2019, together with the tabling of the budget. This will enable us to fund municipal services as outlined in the Integrated Development Plan. Please note: property valuations are determined objectively and according to market values. They are an indication in the growth of the value of the property and while the valuation is used to determine the rates income for the City, it is not an arbitrarily increased value. Valuations are done based on international standards and prescribed methodology, and the City processes are audited by a qualified external auditor to ensure compliance. Review of the GV2018 Roll Property owners can expect their GV2018 notices during February 2019, followed by the opportunity to submit any objections to the market value of their property or information on the GV2018 Roll.

Grassroots From Washing Lines to Utopia Ineke van Kessel The revival of populär protest in the first half of the 1980s, with the emergence of hundreds of new community and youth organizations, was also marked by a proliferation of new mass media. The sophisticated use of media in addressing both inter- rial and international audiences was one of the distinct charac- teristics of this last generation of resistance against apartheid. Grassroots, a publication aimed at a Coloured and African read- ership in the Cape Peninsula, was a pioneering effort to forge a new genre of local community newspapers.1 Grassroots formed part of the new alternative media that sprang up in the 1980s to contest the prevailing world view of the mainstream, white-controlled commercial newspapers.2 While communica- tion between mainstream newspapers and their publiés is largely a one-way street, community newspapers aspired to interact with their readership and to help shape, rather than only report, events. The commercial press was seen as upholder of the status quo, while nonprofit community media regarded themselves as part of the movement for political and social change. Launched 283 284 / Ineke van Kessel Grassroots: From Washmg Lines to Utopia / 285 in 1980, Grassroots became a model for local publications. tömunity issues were the lifeblood of the newspaper, but versity towns in particular proved fertile ground for the pli lessing community issues was not an end in itself.

  • Phase One Archival Research Into the Block Bounded by Hudson, Dixon and Waterkant Streetsand Somerset Road, Cape Town
    PHASE ONE ARCHIVAL RESEARCH INTO THE BLOCK BOUNDED BY HUDSON, DIXON AND WATERKANT STREETSAND SOMERSET ROAD, CAPE TOWN Prepared for Cape Quarter by Antonia Malan Historical Archaeology Research Group for the Archaeology Contracts Office, UCT, in conjunction with Aikman Associates November 2001 Background Propfin is proposing to develop a portion of the block by demolishing the existing structures, excavating for underground parking and building a thematic complex in the ‘Cape Quarter’ style to function as a retail centre. Propfin was advised by the Urban Conservation Unit of Cape Town City Council (CTCC) and the SA Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) to undertake historical research into the block in conjunction with a professional heritage consultant. Henry Aikman approached the Archaeology Contracts Office at UCT (ACO) who undertook to prepare a preliminary archival report by 28 November 2001. The extent of the development includes erven 585, 586, 587, 588, 589 590, 607, 606, 605, 608, 602 (see noting sheets BH-7DB Y223 and Y224 dd 1963 (revised 1976)). A site inspection revealed that the internal lane, Vos Steeg, still exists and some of the original building fabric can still be seen. Previous experience of development in this area (e.g. the site of Long Life Lettering in Cobern Street) has also alerted the authorities to the possibility of impacting unmarked burial grounds. Brief The brief (see extract from letter from SAHRA to Propfin dd 2 October 2001 and letter from ACO to Propfin dd 14 November 2001) was: To examine the archival record in order to ascertain a chronological sequence for the properties and determine the extent of remaining historical fabric in the portions of the block under proposed development.
