EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background on a Simplified IDP ‘The State of Local Government in South Africa’ noted that a number of municipalities were in serious distress; They need assistance to prepare IDP‟s that focus on an implementable plan to deliver on priority services as defined in the Municipal Demarcation Board definition. In addition clear revenue plans and critical capacity needs to be addressed as first steps to improved quality of local services. Gariep municipality amongst others in the Eastern Cape has been identified as municipality that meets the above mentioned criteria. Legislated Framework and Policy Framework The development of the simplified IDP framework is based on various legislative and policy mandates for developmental local government. The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa mandates local government to: Provide democratic and accountable government for local government; ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner; promote social and economic development; promote a safe and healthy environment and encourage the involvement of communities and community organizations in the matters of local government. Informed by the broad principles of the Constitution, the White Paper on Local Government introduced the notion of developmental local government. Developmental local government is defined as local government that is committed to working with citizens and groups within the community to find sustainable ways to meet their social, economic and material needs and improve the quality of their lives. Considering the Constitutional mandate as well as the provisions of the White Paper, it can be summarized that the main function of local government is to provide goods and services that meets the social, economic and material needs of the people. Principles that underpin the manner in which these goods and services are provided should be democratic, accountable, sustainable and public participative. In order to play this critical role, the municipalities are mandated to undertake a process of integrated development planning. The main objective of integrated development planning is to forge greater and better coordination and integration of development initiatives by the various development agencies within each local space. The principal legislation in so far as the development of IDPs is concerned is the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000; section 25 of the act supra mandates each municipal council to adopt a single, inclusive and strategic plan for the development of the municipality. As a strategic plan of the municipality, the IDP should therefore provide a clear road map for the municipality that would take it from the current situation to its desired state in five years. To this effect, the IDP must: Link, integrate and coordinate plans and take into account proposals for the development of the municipality; align the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan; form the policy framework and general basis on which

  • Dams in South Africa.Indd
    DamsDams inin SouthSouth AfricaAfrica n South Africa we depend mostly on rivers, dams and underground water for our water supply. The country does not get a lot of rain, less than 500 mm a year. In fact, South Africa is one of the 30 driest countries in the world. To make Isure that we have enough water to drink, to grow food and for industries, the government builds dams to store water. A typical dam is a wall of solid material (like concrete, earth and rocks) built across a river to block the flow of the river. In times of excess flow water is stored behind the dam wall in what is known as a reservoir. These dams make sure that communities don’t run out of water in times of drought. About half of South Africa’s annual rainfall is stored in dams. Dams can also prevent flooding when there is an overabundance of water. We have more than 500 government dams in South Africa, with a total capacity of 37 000 million cubic metres (m3) – that’s the same as about 15 million Olympic-sized swimming pools! There are different types of dams: Arch dam: The curved shape of these dams holds back the water in the reservoir. Buttress dam: These dams can be flat or curved, but they always have a series of supports of buttresses on the downstream side to brace the dam. Embankment dam: Massive dams made of earth and rock. They rely on their weight to resist the force of the water. Gravity dam: Massive dams that resist the thrust of the water entirely by their own weight.

Scatec Solar works along three principle areas for all employees to focus on; delivering competitive renewable energy, contributing to local value creation and being a trusted business partner. Scatec Solar is committed to value creation and economic development in the communities close to the solar plants. Scatec Solar has identified the need for enterprise development in the above-mentioned towns. It has also identified the small market, coupled with low overall skill levels, as a major inhibitor to the growth of the economy in the towns mentioned. This is a vicious cycle that Scatec Solar aims to address through the integration of a broad-based economic development strategy spanning a 20-year period. One of the tenets of the strategy is a focus on youth development and sustainable enterprise development through the sciences and amongst the youth population. It is against this backdrop that Scatec Solar is seeking to appoint a service provider that can manage the formulation of Environment and Science Clubs. It is expected that this will be a 12-24-month contract. THE STRATEGY: Outlined below is the core strategy that Scatec Solar is following

GORDON when he discovered the Orange River at "De Fraaye Schoot" near the present Bethulie, probably on the 23rd December 1777. I. INTRODUCTION When the government of the Republic of South Africa in the early sixties decided to initiate a comprehensive water development scheme of its largest single water resource, the Orange River, this gave rise to a wide range of basic and applied scientific sur­ veys of that area. The reasons for these surveys were threefold: (1) The huge capital investment on such a water scheme can only be justified economically on a long term basis. Basic to this is that the waterworks be protected, over a long period of time, against inefficiency caused by for example silting. Therefore, management reports of the catchment area should.be produced. (2) In order to enable effective long term planning of the management and use of the natural resources in the area it is necessary to know the state of the local ecosystems before a major change is instituted.
