  • Section 5 Industrial Market Analysis
    Saldanha Development Zone Pre-Feasibility Analysis - Final Report _OCTOBER 2009 SECTION 5 INDUSTRIAL MARKET ANALYSIS 5.1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 7: INDUSTRIAL ANALYSI Saldanha has developed into the largest industrial centre along the West Coast and there is further growth potential in the downstream steel manufacturing sector, agricultural sector and the mining sector, which can lead to job creation. Further growth potential in the oil and gas industries along the coast could also alter the function of the area. As a cautionary note it may be added that the town operates within a particularly sensitive marine and atmospheric environment highly vulnerable to air and water pollution. Great care will have to be taken to ensure sustainable maintenance of a healthy environment. The town is fully dependent on the already heavily taxed Berg River for its water supply - a strategically vulnerable limitation in terms of possible development. Apart from creating a vibrant industrial sector and supportive services and infrastructure, development in the region should also focus on creating a quality of life that contributes to a productive labour force and a favourable working-playing-living environment. This includes initiatives for human resource development, community empowerment, local economic development and basic infrastructure provision. In order to determine the development opportunities that can be exploited for the purpose of industrial establishment in the IDZ, it is necessary to assess the potential provided by existing economic activities in the province, as well as to identify opportunities through planned development initiatives in the country. Linked to this, are the current international market trends in product trading, the potential of establishing industries in the value chain of existing production lines and the potential of products to be manufactured competitively in South Africa (refer to Annexure A : Industrial Market Overview / Indicators).

The attenuation of small fl oods by instream dams has narrowed river (fruit), especially in the Palmiet and Bot river catchments.

  • Report Name:Avian Influenza Outbreak in Gauteng North West
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: May 19, 2021 Report Number: SF2021-0032 Report Name: Avian Influenza Outbreak in Gauteng North West and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa Country: South Africa - Republic of Post: Pretoria Report Category: Poultry and Products Prepared By: Makoma Makgopa Approved By: Kyle Bonsu Report Highlights: On April 13, 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development announced that an avian influenza outbreak was detected in the Gauteng Province that led to the culling of 240,000 birds. Six days later, two additional commercial chicken properties tested positive for the H5 variant. One is a commercial chicken-layer farm also in Gauteng; the second one is a commercial chicken parent breeder farm in the North West Province. During May, two more outbreaks were reported in the Western Cape and in Gauteng. As a result of these outbreaks, Botswana and Mozambique restricted imports of poultry from South Africa. Notably, one of the three affected facilities is a registered compartment for export. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Background South Africa has experienced multiple Avian Influenza outbreaks in six commercial farms across three provinces during the month of April and May 2021. The outbreak is suspected to be linked to the flu caused by the European wild birds. On April 13, 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) announced that an avian influenza (also known as “bird flu”) outbreak was detected in Ekurhuleni Municipality in the Gauteng Province.

Previously we have shown that humans had expanded their diet to include Middle Stone Age marine resources by w164 ka (Æ12 ka) at Pinnacle Point Cave 13B (PP13B) on the south coast of South Mossel Bay Africa, perhaps as a response to these harsh environmental conditions. The associated material culture Origins of modern humans documents an early use and modification of pigment, likely for symbolic behavior, as well as the production of bladelet stone tool technology, and there is now intriguing evidence for heat treatment of lithics. PP13B also includes a later sequence of MIS 5 occupations that document an adaptation that increasingly focuses on coastal resources.
