Control Name Signature Designation Author Polke Birkholtz Heritage Specialist / Archaeologist / PGS Heritage Co-Author Mauritz Naudé Architectural Historian Heritage Impact Assesment - Portion 312 of the farm Turffontein 96 IR iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY General PGS Heritage was appointed by Stor-Age Self Storage (Pty) Ltd to undertake a heritage assessment of the buildings located at 376a Jan Smuts Avenue (Remainder of Erf 222), Craighall, City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng Province. The site is located along Jan Smuts Avenue in Craighall, Johannesburg. Three buildings occur on the site: (a) a music store cum warehouse (Building 1); (b) an old dwelling converted into small music studios (Building 2) and (c) an old garage converted into a song studio (Building 3). It is proposed that the buildings be demolished and a new development introduced to the site. Archival and Historical Desktop Study An archival and historical desktop study of the study area was undertaken. This study has revealed the following information regarding the three buildings located within the study area: • Building 1 The building was originally constructed as a Hobie Showroom in c. 1985. The building is currently used as a music shop. • Building 2 This is the oldest building located within the study area. It was built by Mr. William Charles Higgins during the c. 1930s. At the time, the house was known as Tipperary and was occupied by the Higgins family. A number of different owners followed, and in 1980, proposed alterations were drawn up to convert the dwelling into a restaurant. The first restaurant, named Between the Chains, opened its doors in 1982. Subsequently, a Spanish restaurant operated from this building followed by a well known restaurant named Frog. At an unknown time between 1993 and 2004 the building was extensively damaged in a fire. At the moment the building is used as a music studio. Heritage Impact Assesment - Portion 312 of the farm Turffontein 96 IR iv • Building 3 A song studio is located here. The building is not old and was erected in the relatively recent past. Fieldwork Findings A site visit was undertaken by an experienced fieldwork tema comprising a heritage specialist / archaeologist as well as an architectural historian. Three buildings were identified within the study area. The site visit established that the music shop (Building 1) has no architectural significance. Its greatest cultural significance lies with the movable content inside the building and the role the company has played as a commercial outlet for high class musical instruments and related equipment. Although the remains of a dwelling older than 60 years occur on site (Building 2), it has been extended, altered and changed so extensively that only the hipped roof, two fireplaces and some small sections of the parquet flooring have remained intact. The building has lost all its significant architectural characteristics. The third building identified within the study area (Building 3), also has no architectural or historical significance. Recommendations / Required Mitigation Measures None of the buildings identified within the study area have any architectural historical merit and can be demolished without recording or memorialization. As a result, no mitigation would be required. General Recommendations The following general recommendations would be required: • This Heritage Assessment report must be submitted to the Provincial Heritage Resources Agency for Gauteng. Heritage Impact Assesment - Portion 312 of the farm Turffontein 96 IR v • A permit application for demolition of the buildings must be lodged with the Provincial Heritage Resources Agency for Gauteng. • No demolitions may be undertaken until such time that the relevant permit allowing these activities to be undertaken, has been received from the Provncial Heritage Resources Agency for Gauteng. Conclusion On the condition that the recommendations made in this report are adhered to, no heritage reasons can be given for the development and demolitions to be halted.

The client proposes the demolition of the buildings located within the study area to allow for the construction of a storage facility. 1.2 Specialist Qualifications This Heritage Assessment was compiled by PGS Heritage (PGS). The staff at PGS has a combined experience of nearly 70 years in the heritage consulting industry. PGS and its staff have extensive experience in managing HIA processes and will only undertake heritage assessments where they have the relevant expertise and experience to undertake the work competently. Polke Birkholtz, the Project Manager and author, is registered with the Association of Southern African Professional Archaeologists (ASAPA) as a Professional Archaeologist and is accredited with the CRM Section of ASAPA. He has 18 years’ experience in the heritage assessment and management field and holds a B.A. (cum laude) from the University of Pretoria specialising in Archaeology, Anthropology and History as well as a B.A. (Hons.) in Archaeology (cum laude) from the same institution. Mauritz Naude is an architectural historian and conservationist. He assists heritage practitioners as private consultant in the assessment of historic buildings and sites, is a contract lecturer at the Departments of Architecture, Visual Arts and Building Sciences (University of Pretoria) and is a research fellow at the Department of Architecture (Tshwane University of Technology). He is also a contract lecturer for the course on Environmental Law at the Centre for Environmental Management (CEM – University of the Northwest). He has more than 35 years experience in the curation and conservation of historic buildings. He holds degrees in Archaeology, Art History (Hons), a post graduate diploma in Museology, a MA-Architecture in conservation (WITS) and is currently Heritage Impact Assesment - Portion 312 of the farm Turffontein 96 IR 1 completing his PHd at the Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (University of Pretoria). He is the author of 42 peer reviewed articles and an equal number of popular papers on various topics relating to architectural history, vernacular architecture and building technology. 1.3 Assumptions and Limitations • Not detracting in any way from the comprehensiveness of the fieldwork undertaken, it is necessary to realise that the heritage resources located during the fieldwork do not necessarily represent all the possible heritage resources present within the area. Various factors account for this, including the subterranean nature of some archaeological sites and the current dense vegetation cover. As such, should any heritage features and/or objects not included in the present inventory be located or observed, a heritage specialist must immediately be contacted. Such observed or located heritage features and/or objects may not be disturbed or removed in any way until such time that the heritage specialist has been able to make an assessment as to the significance of the site (or material) in question. This applies to graves and cemeteries as well. In the event that any graves or burial places are located during the development, the procedures and requirements pertaining to graves and burials will apply as set out below. 1.4 Legislative Context The identification, evaluation and assessment of any cultural heritage site, artefact or find in

The rapid expansion of urban areas is typically seen as a threat to global biodiversity, yet the role of cities in protecting species that may be rare in the wild remains poorly explored. Here, we report the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to document the species present in one of the largest urban green spaces in Johannesburg, South Africa. We document a surprisingly large number of taxonomic groups, including some rare and threatened species. Our results support the notion that urban green spaces can provide refuge to a large number of species, and the species inventory provides critical information that can be used by city parks managers to conserve green spaces. Abstract: Adaptation to environments that are changing as a result of human activities is critical to species’ survival. A large number of species are adapting to, and even thriving in, urban green spaces, but this diversity remains largely undocumented.

  • The Road Between Sandton and Alexandra Township: a Fanonian Approach to the Study of Poverty and Privilege in South Africa
    The road between Sandton and Alexandra Township: a Fanonian approach to the study of poverty and privilege in South Africa By Raimond Nyapokoto Submitted in accordance with the requirements for The degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the subject DEVELOPMENT STUDIES At the University of South Africa Supervisor: Prof Sabelo. J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni November 2014 Student number: 36420174 i I declare that The road between Sandton and Alexandra Township: a Fanonian approach to the study of poverty and privilege in South Africa is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ _____________________ SIGNATURE DATE (Mr) ii Abstract The key challenge to socio-economic transformation in South Africa is closing the gap between the poor and the rich. What is distinctive about South Africa is the uneasy coexistence of poverty and opulence. This study seeks to explore the structural, historical roots of poverty among the blacks in South Africa by deploying Fanonian Critical Decolonial theory. This is the ideal theoretical approach to unmask the structural causes of poverty and inequality in South Africa. Colonial ambitions and the global political engineering of the world by America and Europe spans more than four hundred years, and is still very much alive today in subtle forms. This study asserts that this imperial history is the cause of poverty, lack of agency, and the hellish conditions under which many black people live. The rise of industrial capitalism and attendant urbanisation is at the core of this impoverishment of the black man.
