Trips from Maseru Trips from Maseru Hello, and welcome to the capital of the Mountain Kingdom, Maseru. As you may have noticed by now, there ain’t much to do in this town on the weekend, and given the tendency for guide books on South Africa to dedicate at most a dozen pages to the Free State and Lesotho (and over half the book to the Western Cape), and the fact that tourist information is somewhat ‘disjointed’ in Lesotho, this guide has been written to help you get the most out of your time here. Fortunately there are loads of places to visit and explore, some make good day trips, whilst others are better done overnight or on a long weekend. This guide is written on personal experience from 2 years of living in Maseru. You will get more out of this guide if you enjoy the outdoors and don’t have children in tow, and a car is pretty much essential. 1. Day trips: 2 Free State 2 Bloemfontein 4 Lesotho 5 2.

  • Report Ladybrand Maseru N8 Enviro 2013
    3 JUNE 2013 FIRST PHASE ARCHAEOLOGICAL & HERITAGE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED REALIGNMENT OF THE N8 NATIONAL ROAD BETWEEN THE R26/N8 INTERSECTION & MASERU BRIDGE BORDER POST, LADYBRAND, FREE STATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The N8 national road provides a vital link between Lesotho and South Africa. To improve the road connection, the South African National Road Agency LTD, is planning the realignment of a section of the N8 Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge Border Post. The realignment will start from the existing N8/R26 intersection and will follow the S836 gravel road to tie in along the N8 between Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge. The length of the realignment is approximately 13 kilometres. The whole region is part of intensive agricultural land, which has been cultivated for decades. Scars left by road building are also visible. No archaeological, cultural or any historical remains were found along the route. It is clear that the new developments will have no impact on any cultural heritage and historical remains in the area. Further planning of the proposed project may continue, and no mitigation measures will be needed. INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION Enviroworks Environmental Consultants from Bloemfontein had been commissioned by the National Roads Agency to compile the Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed developments. 2 A list of the names and particulars of effected farm owners is enclosed herewith (See ANNEXURE 1). Scope and Limitations SANRAL is planning the realignment of a section of the N8 between the N8/R26 intersection near Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge Border Post. The relocation of the road will start from the existing N8/R26 intersection and will follow the S836 gravel road to link-up with the N8 between Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge.

  • The Role of Sustainable Planning in Order to Accommodate Informal Brickyards in the Integrated Development Plan of the Mangaung Municipality
    G.M. Steenkamp & J.J. Steÿn, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 1, No. 4 (2006) 443–450 TO CONTROL OR NOT TO CONTROL: THE ROLE OF SUSTAINABLE PLANNING IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE INFORMAL BRICKYARDS IN THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE MANGAUNG MUNICIPALITY G.M. STEENKAMP & J.J. STEŸN Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. ABSTRACT During 1994 and 1999, the Bloemfontein Municipality amalgamated with five other municipalities to form the Mangaung Municipality. The Mangaung Municipality now has a population of approximately 740,000 and covers an area of 6,363 km2. Some areas are totally urban; while in others, people live in informal settlements. The unemployment rate is 35%, but in some areas it has risen to as high as 48%. Poor people in the city cannot afford to buy burnt bricks from the major suppliers of bricks. Therefore, informal brickyards were established all over the areas where clay and/or water were available. These brickyards are now producing good homemade burnt bricks and are creating jobs in a sea of unemployment. However, the problem is that from a planning and sustainability viewpoint, all is not well.Although the location of the brickyards has brought about a saving in costs related to the transportation of bricks from the formal brickyards, of which the nearest is 300 km away, the coal- burning activities of the informal brickyards create air pollution. Furthermore, no prior environmental impact studies were carried out before deciding on the location of the brickyards. Most of them have been established haphazardly in any available spot.

The report is available in printed and electronic formats and is presented in two volumes: • Volume 1: Integrated Report is a narrative on major development during the year combined with key statistics that indicate value generated in various ways. • Volume 2: Annual Financial Statements contains the sections on corporate governance and delivery against key performance indicators, in addition to the financial statements. 2018 is the second year in which SANRAL has adopted the practice of integrated reporting, having previously been guided solely by the approach adopted in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The agency has attempted to demonstrate the varied dimensions of its work and indicate how they are strategically coherent. It has continued to comply with the reporting requirements of the PFMA while incorporating major principles of integrated reporting. This new approach is supported by the adoption of an integrated planning framework in SANRAL’s new strategy, Horizon 2030. In selecting qualitative and quantitative information for the report, the agency has been guided by Horizon 2030 and the principles of disclosure and materiality.

  • Cbd) of a South African City: the Case of Kimberley City
    RE-ENGINEERING OF TRAFFIC SYSTEMS IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD) OF A SOUTH AFRICAN CITY: THE CASE OF KIMBERLEY CITY By MS MMUSHO KEETSE Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree Magister Technologiae: (Engineering: Civil) in the Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the Central University of Technology, Bloemfontein, Free State Supervisor: Dr. D.K. Das May 2016 © Central University of Technology, Free State ABSTRACT Most cities of the world face the challenges of dealing with traffic congestion and its undesirable consequences. In South Africa many large and medium sized cities– and specifically the central business district (CBD) thereof – are experiencing traffic congestion and are severely affected by it. One such city which warranted this investigation, is Kimberley in the Northern Cape Province. Because of its unique physical and spatial attributes; its road network; economic characteristics and the requirement of the mobility of heavy vehicles in addition to the normal city traffic, Kimberley experiences typical traffic congestion challenges in its CBD area, particularly during peak hours. Thus, using the city Kimberley as a case study, an investigation was conducted to comprehend the traffic congestion scenario on the roads in and around Kimberley’s CBD area with the aim to evolve plausible re-engineering interventions that could alleviate the traffic congestion challenges experienced by the city. The conduction of the study involved the critical review of relevant literature, understanding of the control variables influencing traffic congestion and applying relevant empirical models to assess traffic congestion and evolve policy/strategic measures to alleviate the challenge.
