  • Eff Statement on Tabling a Motion of No Confidence Against the City of Tshwane Executive Mayor
    EFF STATEMENT ON TABLING A MOTION OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST THE CITY OF TSHWANE EXECUTIVE MAYOR. Tuesday, 26 November 2019 The Economic Freedom Fighters’ Tshwane Caucus submitted an urgent motion of no confidence against Tshwane Executive Mayor, Stevens Mokgalapa on Monday, 25 November 2019. The City of Tshwane has been limping from one disaster to another ever since Mr Mokgalapa took over as Executive Mayor; and the administration he leads has proven incapable of resolving the problems faced by the citizens of Tshwane. Our motion is premised on substantial and glaring failures by the Executive Mayor, including, but not limited to the following: 1. There is an escalating water crisis in the City of Tshwane, more specifically at the water treatment plant in Rooiwaal which supplies water to residents of Hammanskraal. The Executive Mayor publicly lied and said the water in the area is clean and fit for human consumption. The Human Sciences Research Council and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research later conducted assessment of the water treatment plant, and found the water unfit for human consumption. 2. There is a general deterioration of fiscal and procurement management standards at the municipality, which is a continuation of a trend since the DA took over leadership of the municipality. It has gotten worse under Mr Mokgalapa, with numerous deviations in the awarding of tenders to some companies. P1 3. Residents of Laudium, Atteridgeville, Mamelodi and Soshanguve continue to experience power outages and have even embarked on protests against the City for failing to deal with the constant power outages.

  • 139- Hoofstuk4 Die Omgewing En Agtergrondsgeskiedenis
    -139- HOOFSTUK4 DIE OMGEWING EN AGTERGRONDSGESKIEDENIS VAN NOORDELIKE GAUTENG "The boots of the archaeologist, feet of clay, often appear bogged down in the reality of the past. Would that foot simply pass by leaving an empty trace or would the boots be filled with the person of the archaeologist and with the meaning of the past?" (Ian Hodder, Reading the past 1995:xiv). 1. INLEIDING In hierdie hoofstuk word die geografiese gebied waarbinne die navorsing gedoen word, as agtergrond uiteengesit. Op hierdie wyse word die gevallestudies binne die konteks van 'n groter geheel geplaas en word klem op die omgewing en historiese raamwerk waarbinne die gevallestudies begryp moet word, gele. Met noordelike Gauteng word die gedeelte van die provinsie, noord van die lyn wat deur die 26° Suiderbreedte gevorm word, bedoel. Die noordgrens van die area word min of meer gevorm deur die lyn wat op 25° 20' Suiderbreedte getrek kan word, terwyl die oos- en wesgrens daarvan onderskeidelik min ofmeer deur die 29ste en 28ste Oosterlengtegraadlyne gevorm word (Acocks 1988). Dit sluit vier landdrosdistrikte in, naamlik Pretoria, Bronkhorstspruit, Cullinan en Wonderboom (figuur 4.1). Die belangrikste mensgemaakte element in die noordelike gedeelte van Gauteng is die administratiewe hoofstad van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, Pretoria. Dit vorm ook die kemarea van die studiegebied. Hoewel dit een van die grootste stede in die land is, is Pretoria bekend vir sy -140- rustiger, amper landelike atmosfeer (Janse van Rensburg 1994:17). Dit vorm ook saam met Atteridgeville, die mees westelike nedersetting in hierdie gedeelte van Gauteng (Departement van streek- en grondsake 1994:13~ S.A.

  • The Mabopane-Centurion Development Corridor: a Historical Analysis of Successes and Constraints and Proposals for Improvement
    The Mabopane-Centurion Development Corridor: A historical analysis of successes and constraints and proposals for improvement CHAPTER THREE THE MCDC-PROJECT SECTION A: GENERAL 1. Introduction The Mabopane-Centurion Development Corridor" (MCDC)-project. as referred to in Chapter Two, is discussed in depth in this chapter. This incorporates a reference to the development corridor approach in the Republic of South Africa, but focuses primarily on sections reflecting the key focuses, project strategies, success stories and the institutional arrangements for the MCDC-project. 2. Background issues to the corridor development approach in the Republic of South Africa As far back as the early 1970's, the Republic of South Africa experienced a general lack of focused urban development contributing to principles such as urban efficacy, efficiency and productivity, especially as far as public transport-orientated development is concerned. This view was expressed repeatedly in reports compiled in the past by government, amongst them the report of the Driessen Commission on Urban Transportation in South Africa, compiled in 1976 (Department of Transport, 1993). Furthermore, the fact that government could not succeed in integrating public transport and the government's economic development policies in the 1980's and 1990's, contributed (together with the former apartheid policies) to the development of the fragmented urban complexes , as known today. The latter is expressed in official government reports SO compiled by the national Department of Transport in the 90's, which recognised the " .. .need for affirmatively restructuring South African cities in favour of those who are disadvantaged by poverty, limited access to cars and the legacy of apartheid .
