FOREWORD BY THE MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL: PUBLIC WORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE It is with great pleasure to present this 2015/2016 Annual Report for the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure as the country marks 22 years of democratic government. The year under review has not been an easy year. The economy of the country and the province continued to be sluggish, fiscal resources were constrained as well as the effects of global warming were challenges that we faced but we soldiered on. We are pleased to report that during this period some notable achievements were realised. As we take stock of our performance, this is the time to both celebrate and do introspection into where we still need to improve. It is fitting, therefore, that we take this opportunity to briefly reflect on some of the key progress and achievements made during this period. To continue to improve our capacity at all levels and trades, we have made 70 appointments of which 18 were technical positions. To address and promote gender, youth and disability we made appointments of 14 disabled officials and 15 women on salary levels 9-14. Presently the Department has 44 disabled employees which reflect 2.48% of fulltime workforce which is above the national norm of 2%. The Department also has measures in place to deal with knowledge management by employing both retention and training programmes. For the year under review, the Department with its registered professionals such as architects, quantity surveyors and engineers responded to its mandate and completed 27 projects of which 18 were Department own projects and nine for client departments. The responsibility of managing payments of rates and taxes, electricity and rental payments lies within the Department and it can be gladly reported that spending on the allocated budget of R342. 409m was 100%. Due to insufficient budget, the Department is confronted with a shortfall with regards to the payment of municipal services. This was reported to Provincial Treasury to request the allocation of sufficient funds. Transformation of the Property industry is part of the Departments mandate therefore; contracts were signed with six new black landlords for leasing in of office accommodation. Women, Youth and Previously Disadvantaged Individuals were also successfully awarded tenders by the Department. The Expanded Public Works Programme has been entrusted with the provincial coordination and monitoring of all stakeholders in relation to the creation of work opportunities according to targets set nationally. Through its community development initiatives, the Department contributed by creating 2 524 work opportunities. The Department continued with the implementation of the Township Revitalisation Programme in seventeen towns of the province. This programme is about improving the image and value of townships as decent places of residence, upgrading of low volume roads from gravel to paving by using interlocking pavers. The Township Revitalisation Project is one of our provinces’ flagship projects. As the provinces’ coordinators and monitors of the implementation of EPWP, we facilitated the achievement of 53 715 validated work opportunities out of an annual target of 59 964 work opportunities for the 2015/2016 financial year. With regards to revenue collection, some occupants could not afford to pay the full purchase price for the sale of residential houses that were disposed. By the end of the financial year, revenue was over collected due to arrear rental payments. Priorities from the National Development Plan, 2014-2019 Medium Term Strategic Framework Outcomes as it forms the first 5-Year building block towards achieving the National Development Plan Vision 2030, Free State Growth and Development Strategy priorities and all the relevant legislation, policies and other mandates of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure were taken into account whilst implementing 2015/2016 policy directives. www.publicworks.fs.gov.za 6 Free State Department of Public Works and Infrastructure

  • Towards an Integrated Framework for the Assessment and Management of Sediment Related Impacts on Water Resources in South Africa
    TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF SEDIMENT RELATED IMPACTS ON WATER RESOURCES IN SOUTH AFRICA Report to the Water Research Commission by A Jeleni, R Makungo, E Onyari, P Sihna, M Ilunga and J Odiyo Muondli Consulting and Projects WRC Report No. 2064/1/13 ISBN 978-1-4312-0479-3 November 2013 Obtainable from Water Research Commission Private Bag X03 Gezina, 0031 [email protected] or download from www.wrc.org.za DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. © WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RATIONALE Sedimentation is the direct result of the loss (erosion) of sediments from other aquatic areas or land-based areas. Sedimentation can be detrimental or beneficial to aquatic environments. Moreover, sediment impoverishment (erosion or lack of replenishment) in an area can be as bad as too much sedimentation. Sedimentation in one area is linked to erosion or impoverishment in another area and is a natural process of all water bodies (i.e. lakes, rivers, estuaries, coastal zones, and even the deep ocean). This indicates that sediment management and control should be an integral consideration in any water resources development and protection strategy, as opportunities for truly effective solutions may also be inter-related. Further, as the natural processes which determine the movement of water or sediments (or both) do not respect administrative boundaries, a holistic, river catchment-wide approach is frequently more appropriate than a local or national approach.
