Settlements in Cape Town, 1939-1960 "ON THE MARGINS": THE EMERGENCE AND GROWTH OF SQUATTER SETTLEMENTS IN CAPE TOWN, 1939-1960 By JAMES ERIC MEIER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2000 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many debts have been incurred toward the completion of this dissertation. In particular, R. Hunt Davis, Jr., my academic advisor, has consistently provided insightful guidance and support in a wide range of ways that are deeply appreciated. Additionally, the other members of my doctoral committee-Tim Cleaveland, Anita Spring, Luise White, and Bertram Wyatt-Brown (at the University of Florida), and John Edwin Mason (at the University of Virginia)~have contributed to my academic development and generously given of their time in seeing this project through to completion. Within the Department of History, Betty Corwine, Barbara Guynn, Linda Opper, Jose Corona, and Kimberly Browne have at different times been instrumental in steering me through numerous administrative minefields. In South Africa, many individuals offered their assistance and expertise to help make my field research there both productive and highly enjoyable. Gary Minkley, of the University of the Western Cape, freely shared his own research notes and ideas on squatting, and was vital in helping me secure Xhosa-speaking interpreters. His colleague, Marijka du Toit, provided logistical support in the collection of oral histories on the Cape Flats. At the University of Cape Town (UCT), Christopher Saunders repeatedly gave me the benefit of his vast knowledge of urban South Afirican history, and went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Sean Field, Vivian Bickford-Smith, and Sue Pamell, also of ii UCT, all challenged my ideas and enlarged the scope of my research project. Colin Bundy, Rodney Davenport, Hildegarde Fast, Hilton Judin, and Charles van Onselen similarly provided guidance. Of particular note, Barry Kinkead-Weekes unselfishly allowed me to access his voluminous research notes and advised me where to unearth specific archival materials in Cape Town. At a less academic level, my experience in Cape Tovra was greatly enriched as a result of the friendship of David Gainer, Theresa Lehman, Rob McKend, Fiona Pretorius, Robert Vinson, Ludolff Wium, and the entire Dugmore family. The oral histories which I collected from dozens of elderly informants who generously shared their memories and their feelings of the past proved to be a fascinating and rewarding experience (the names and, in many instances, the photographs of these informants can be found in Appendix I). It profoundly shaped my perspective of what squatting meant for African migrants. Hopefully, they would recognize the reality of their experiences mirrored in portions of this work. I also wish to thank Mbulelo Mrubata, Weziwe Ncame, and Andile Ncula for their tireless assistance in conducting, translatmg, and transcribing interviews. The breadth that oral histories contribute to this dissertation would not have been possible without their participation. Also vital to the oral history component of my research were the many people who helped me locate potential informants: most notably Linda Brightman Madaka, Anne Greenwell, Scottie Morton, and Dr Ozwa Mbomongo. Mr. Madaka and Michael Nduna were kind enough to assist in interviewing some acquaintances when my Xhosa and informants' English did not suffice. I appreciate the cooperation that staff members at the following institutions extended to me: the Ekuphumleni Home for the Frail and Aged [Koleka Bandla, (the Manager) Ms iii Linda Gqiba, Nompumelelo Miriam Lizwe, Elizabeth Madolo, (the Matron) Felicia Malunga, and Charles Ndimande]; the Guguletu Senior Citizens' Home (Mr Majokweni, (the Manager) Mary Sili, and Mr. Sili); the Langa Home for the Aged [(the Matron) Mavis Makosa]; and the Nyanga Home for the Aged [(the Matron) Thandi Sintwa]. The hospitality, excellent Xhosa food, and assistance of Mrs. Elmina Gontsana and the members of the Monwabisi Seniors Club also contributed significantly to the collection of oral histories, under very pleasant circumstances. At Cape Town's archives and libraries, I benefited from the assistance of many excellent archivists and librarians. I would like to sincerely thank the staff at the following institutions: UCT's Manuscripts and Archives Library (Karen Combrinck, Chris Davis, Lesley Hart, and Yasmin Mohamed); UCT's African Studies Library; UCT's Government Publications Library; the University of Stellenbosch's J.S. Gerlicke Library (Hanna Botha); the South African Library (Carel Schoeman and Jackie Loos in Photographic and Special Collections); the Cape Town Civic Centre Municipal Reference Library; the Cape Town Civic Centre Records Management Division (Arlene van Beulen); the Cape Town Civic Centre Land Survey Department (Ian Black); the Cape Divisional Council (Bennie Daniels); the Cape State Archives (Marian George, Peter Longbottom, Ebrahim Kenny, Elsie de Waal, and Jaco van der Merwe); and the Central State Archives in Pretoria. On a more personal note, the insights and friendship of fellow graduate students at the University of Florida helped me better formulate my ideas and made my stay in Gamesville an altogether enjoyable experience. Jim Ellison, Todd Leedy, Paul Lokken, Nate Nowak, Jonathan Walz, Chris and Shari Watford, and James Wilson all contributed iv Brunings. As invaluable as her in this regard. I owe an especially huge debt to Asha computer commonsense, transcribing talent, and proofreading prowess proved in the sometimes trying completion of this dissertation, her love and understanding during the long-standing dissertation writing-up phase were even more remarkable. Owmg to their over the span of many years of support (both emotional and financial), faith, and love _^ special graduate work, my family played a particularly key role. I would like to express and to thanks to my parents, Heidy and Louis; and to Tom, Kelly, Kristin, Jennifer; Elsbeth and Heinz.

  • 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.

  • 7. Water Quality
    Western Cape IWRM Action Plan: Status Quo Report Final Draft 7. WATER QUALITY 7.1 INTRODUCTION 7.1.1 What is water quality? “Water quality” is a term used to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses, such as agricultural, domestic, recreational, and industrial, or aquatic ecosystem processes. A particular use or process will have certain requirements for the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water; for example limits on the concentrations of toxic substances for drinking water use, or restrictions on temperature and pH ranges for water supporting invertebrate communities. Consequently, water quality can be defined by a range of variables which limit water use by comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of a water sample with water quality guidelines or standards. Although many uses have some common requirements for certain variables, each use will have its own demands and influences on water quality. Water quality is neither a static condition of a system, nor can it be defined by the measurement of only one parameter. Rather, it is variable in both time and space and requires routine monitoring to detect spatial patterns and changes over time. The composition of surface and groundwater is dependent on natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological, and biological) in the drainage basin and varies with seasonal differences in runoff volumes, weather conditions, and water levels. Large natural variations in water quality may, therefore, be observed even where only a single water resource is involved. Human intervention also has significant effects on water quality. Some of these effects are the result of hydrological changes, such as the building of dams, draining of wetlands, and diversion of flow.
