The Project is adjacent to the National Route 1 (“N1) highway and includes eleven plants and ancillary infrastructure associated with the metallurgical and mineral beneficiation value chain. The Project requires Environmental Authorisation (EA) through an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, to comply with the National Environmental Management Act, 1999 (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA). To this end, LEDA appointed Delta Built Environment Consultants (Pty) Ltd (hereinafter Delta BEC) to undertake the required EIA process. LEDA subsequently advertised tenders for other consultancies to undertake specialist studies in support of the EIA process. LEDA appointed Digby Wells Environmental (hereinafter Digby Wells) to undertake the Heritage Resources Management (HRM) process, inclusive of a Palaeontological Impact Assessment (PIA) (refer to Appendix C). Digby Wells undertook the HRM process in compliance with Section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act, 1999 (Act No. 25 of 1999) (NHRA). This report constitutes the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) report for submission to the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) and the Limpopo Heritage Resources Authority (LIHRA). Through an understanding of various heritage resources distribution within the site-specific study area, the statement of Cultural Significance (CS) demonstrates an average low significance rating for the defined cultural landscape. This is summarised in the table below. The infrastructure design and site layout has not been finalised at the time of assessment and will be, in part, informed by the outcomes of this assessment. It is therefore anticipated that all heritage resources will be affected by the Project. The final table below presents a summary of the impact assessment. The preceding table presents an overview of the potential risks to unidentified heritage resources within the Project area. To mitigate against the identified impacts against cultural and fossil heritage resources, Digby Wells recommends: ■ LEDA amends the infrastructure design where possible to avoid identified heritage resources of significance within the Project area and incorporate a no-go buffer zone of 50 m between the heritage resources and Project activities. Digby Wells acknowledges that it may not be feasible to avoid all the identified heritage resources; ■ Where identified heritage resources are avoided, LEDA must develop and implement a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) to manage conserved heritage resource. The CMP must include any applicable mitigation measures, management strategies and proposed monitoring schedules and outline the roles and responsibilities of those involved. This document must be submitted to the Heritage Resource Authorities (HRAs) for approval prior to implementation; Digby Wells Environmental iv Heritage Impact Assessment Environmental Authorisation for the proposed Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone Development Project, Limpopo Province LEA5514 ■ LEDA amends the Project design to avoid negative impacts to the built heritage resources and, where possible, conserve the resources through adaptive reuse of the structures. This will require a permit issued in terms of Section 34 of the NHRA and Chapter III of the NHRA Regulations, 2000 (Government Notice Regulation [GN R] 548); ■ Where adaptive reuse of the structures is not feasible or desirable, LEDA must complete a destruction permit application process in accordance with Section 34 of the NHRA and Chapter III of the NHRA Regulations; ■ Where burial grounds and graves will be impacted upon by the proposed infrastructure, LEDA must undertake a GRP in accordance with Section 36 of the NHRA and Chapter IX and XI of the NHRA Regulations; ■ Where archaeological sites will be impacted upon by the proposed infrastructure, LEDA must record the sites in detail in accordance with Section 35 of the NHRA and Chapter IV of the NHRA Regulations; ■ A Project-specific Chance Finds Protocol (CFP) must be developed and approved by the HRAs prior to the commencement of the construction of Project-related infrastructure; and ■ The Project-specific Fossil Finds Protocol (FFP) must be approved prior to the commencement of the construction phase of the Project (refer to Appendix A of the PIA report).

  • Limpopo Water Management Area
    LIMPOPO WATER MANAGEMENT AREA WATER RESOURCES SITUATION ASSESSMENT MAIN REPORT OVERVIEW The water resources of South Africa are vital to the health and prosperity of its people, the sustenance of its natural heritage and to its economic development. Water is a national resource that belongs to all the people who should therefore have equal access to it, and although the resource is renewable, it is finite and distributed unevenly both spatially and temporally. The water also occurs in many forms that are all part of a unitary and inter-dependent cycle. The National Government has overall responsibility for and authority over the nation’s water resources and their use, including the equitable allocation of water for beneficial and sustainable use, the redistribution of water and international water matters. The protection of the quality of water resources is also necessary to ensure sustainability of the nation’s water resources in the interests of all water users. This requires integrated management of all aspects of water resources and, where appropriate, the delegation of management functions to a regional or catchment level where all persons can have representative participation. This report is based on a desktop or reconnaissance level assessment of the available water resources and quality and also patterns of water requirements that existed during 1995 in the Limpopo Water Management Area, which occupies a portion of the Northern Province. The report does not address the water requirements beyond 1995 but does provide estimates of the utilisable potential of the water resources after so-called full development of these resources, as this can be envisaged at present.

  • Remembering Albasini
    REMEMBERING ALBASJNI Teresa Ann van Ryneveld Submitted in fiilfiJment of the requirements for the M.A. degree in History at the University of Cape Town. University of Cape TownFebruary 1998 I -----·--.. -· =-·--·-.... ------~--- - The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town ABSTRACT This dissertation uses the historical figure of Joao Albasini to explore some historiographical issues related to how people commemorate their past. Joao Albasini was a Portuguese trader who operated through the port of Delagoa Bay for a large part of the 19th Century. He was based in Portuguese East Africa in the l 830's and early l 840's, and moved into what would become the Transvaal in the late 1840's, becoming a powerful political force in the region. This thesis looks at the strikingly different ways in which Albasini has been remembered by different individuals and groups. Part 1 deals with his South African family's memories of him, focusing in particular on the portrayal of Albasini in a celebration held in 1988 to commemorate the centenary of his death. This is compared with fragments of earlier family memories, in particular, with the testimony of his second daughter recorded in newspaper articles, letters and notes. This comparison is used to argue that the memories of Albasini are being shaped both by a changing social context, and by the influence of different literary genres.
