i Pixley Ka Seme District SDF 2013 - 2018 Sixth Draft May 2014 PIXLEY KA SEME DISTRICT SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK/ LAND DEVELOPMENT PLAN (SDF) 2013-2018 Sixth draft May 2014 Prepared by CK Rumboll & Partners ii Pixley Ka Seme District SDF 2013 - 2018 Sixth Draft May 2014 FOREWORD BY THE HONORABLE EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF THE PIXLEY KA SEME DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, Clr J.Z LOLWANA Pixley Ka Seme District Municipality successfully completed the compilation of its Spatial Development Framework (SDF). The Pixley Ka Seme SDF proudly takes its place in the Northern Cape Province to support not only provincial initiatives, but also national directives as it aligns with provincial planning legislation as well as the latest national planning legislation. This plan enhances and embraces Council’s vision: “Pixley Ka Seme DM, PIONEERS of DEVELOPMENT, a HOME and FUTURE for all!!” The SDF forms part of Council’s continued drive to eradicate wrong doings from the past by means of colonial and apartheid manipulation regarding development, settlement structures as well as economic activity within the district. The SDF was compiled in colaberation with the Department of Land Reform and Rural Development as well as the provincial administration and follows onto the SDF completed in 2007 to provide a focused approach for sustainable development. The SDF supports and ensure much needed economic growth as linked to job creation and the eradication of poverty. The SDF identifies development areas and nodes as well as corridors on a regional level as supported by sound base data to ensure growth and development for the next 5 years. Spatial proposals culminated in identified and prioritized projects that will be linked to Council’s budget via the IDP process and as such implemented. Of these projects the SKA project at Carnarvon ensured international focus on the Pixley Ka Seme District while the potential locked up in the development corridors as identified together with the range of renewable energy projects can secure a bright future for the region and its residents. The SDF was prepared subject to a prescribed public participation process whereby all interested and affected parties as well as the general public were approached for input and comments to ensure a transparent process. I, therefore wish to thank all who participated and contributed to the compilation of this spatial framework for development. The SDF was prepared as a practical tool to promote sustainable spatial development as linked to economic growth to ensure a home and future for our communities residing within the Pixley Ka Seme District. iii Pixley Ka Seme District SDF 2013 -

    Towards a Theological Synthesis of Christian and Shona Views of Death and the Dead: Implications for Pastoral Care in the Anglican Diocese of Harare, Zimbabwe

    TOWARDS A THEOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS OF CHRISTIAN AND SHONA VIEWS OF DEATH AND THE DEAD: IMPLICATIONS FOR PASTORAL CARE IN THE ANGLICAN DIOCESE OF HARARE, ZIMBABWE. by WILSON T. SITSHEBO A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology Faculty of Arts The University of Birmingham August 2000 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT In this contextual study I investigate why and how the traditional approach to mission, engaged by Anglican missionaries, gave rise to a dual observance of ritual among Shona Anglican Christians. I begin by establishing the significance and essence of Shona views of death and the dead, then investigate the missionaries' historical background. I highlight that Christian arrogance, in the guise of racial superiority, underlies the confrontational and condemnatory approach. Traditional views were considered evil, in their place, Shona converts were forced to adopt western Christian views as the only acceptable and valid way of coping with this eschatological reality. These views did not usually fit the Shona worldviews and religious outlook, hence the adoption of dual observance.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA ENVIRONMENT The existing Hydra Substation and Gamma Substations lie approximately 130 km apart, and are separated by a generally flat landscape, interrupted in the northern section by high broken ground and small ridges, and the Bulberg and Horseshoe Ridges in the south close to the Gamma Substation site. The broader study area falls within the Northern Cape Province and extends from the existing Hydra Substation near De Aar to the south near Victoria West, where the Gamma Substation is located. 6.1 Topography The study area is located within a generally flat area interrupted at intervals by a number of hills and ridges. The height above sea level, of the study area ranges from 1300 m to 1800 m. Prominent ridges within the study area the include Bulberg Ridge, located north of the Gamma Substation site and the Horseshoe Ridge located in the south close to the Gamma Substation site. Other ridges and hills in the study area include the Platberg, Nooinberg, Groot and the Tafelberg ridge. There are no ridges located within the proposed 80 m servitude. 6.2 Climatic Conditions Based on the information recorded in the Victoria West area, the average annual rainfall for the Victoria West region is 328 mm.

    Paper Number: 3492 MARKET DEVELOPMENT and SUPPORT of MINERAL BASED SMME’S in the NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE

    Paper Number: 3492 MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT OF MINERAL BASED SMME’s IN THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE Modiga, A., Rasmeni S.K., Mokubedi, I., and Auchterlonie, A Small Scale Mining and Beneficiation Division, Mintek, Randburg South Africa [email protected] For some time the South African government has been advocating the advancement of Small, Medium and Micro-sized Enterprises (SMMEs) through the prioritisation of entrepreneurship as the catalyst to achieving economic growth, development and self-sustainability. Mintek has undertaken a project that is aimed at supporting the SMMEs in the mining industry by researching the semi-precious gemstone mineral potential in the Northern Cape Province. The project provided training on safe mining methods and the beneficiation of the mineral resources through value-addition programmes (stone cutting and polishing as well as jewellery manufacturing) by the establishment of centres in the province. This will encourage a level of poverty alleviation in this region through the creation of employment in the small scale minerals, mining and manufacturing sector. Preliminary field investigations show that certain communities, especially in the Prieska and surrounding area, mine various types of semi-precious gemstone. Of notable importance are tiger’s eye deposits in the Prieska area, Griekwastad and Niekerkshoop. Mining is mainly seasonal and these miners lack appropriate tools and machinery to conduct mining efficiently. Most of the communities are characterised by low literacy levels and the miners have no access to financing or credit from formal financial institutions for them to finance their operational requirements. The lack of a formal or established market for the semi-precious stones such as tiger’s eye results in the exploitation of miners.
