Volume A: Preliminary status quo of the area o This section covers the preliminary status quo of all study components. Volume B: Prioritisation o This section evaluates importance and prioritises reaches per component, according to a specific set of factors. Volume C: Delineation of Resource Units (RUs) o Resource Units are delineated for rivers and groundwater. The Mzimvubu estuary is discussed as a single RU. Wetlands are defined as wetland groups. Volume D: Delineation of Integrated Units of Analysis (IUAs) and associated status quo of each IUA VOLUME A: A BROAD STATUS QUO DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA Water Resources The Mzimvubu catchment was divided into six water resource zones based on similar water resource operation, location of significant water resource infrastructure (including proposed infrastructure) and distinctive functions of the catchments in context of the larger system. Groundwater use is included in this description. The significant resources of the proposed water resource zones are summarised below. Catchments Water resource zone Major impoundments Quaternary catchments Upper Mzimvubu M-1 None T31A – T31H Mzintlava M-2 None T32A – T32H Kinira M-3 None T33A – T33K Thina M-4 None T34A – T34K Tsitsa M-5 None T35A – T35M Lower Mzimvubu M-6 None T36A & T36B Economic analysis The economic analysis consists of the status quo of the current economic activities as well as the situational analysis of the current prevailing social economic position in the Mzimvubu catchment (T3), concerning the large water users such as irrigation agriculture, commercial forestry, sawmills, laminated board factory as well as the other dependents. Although the tourism sector is neither an indirect nor a large water user, it is often included in the analyses as the value of water to the sector in its natural environment lies in the attraction that the water and environment has for the tourist, which affects the sustainability of the industry. However, in this catchment it is so small that no acceptable values could be sourced and it was therefore not included. The economic development in the catchment is rather skewed. The main commercial activities are currently restricted to the following sub-catchments: . T31: The main stream of the Upper Mzimvubu has a very large commercial farming area, small commercial forestry and the two towns of Matatiele and Cedarville. The north-eastern Determination of Water Resource Classes and Resource Quality Objectives for the Water Resources in the Mzimvubu Catchment Project No. WP 11004 / Status Quo and (RU and IUA) Delineation Report Page v part of the quaternary catchment is located within the KwaZulu-Natal province and the rest in the Eastern Cape. T32: The Mzintlava River with Kokstad as the commercial hub has a large commercial-based farming community. The eastern parts of T35 accommodate over 45 000 hectares of commercial forestry with the towns of Maclear and Ugie. In some of the afforestation areas commercial farming is still active. In the lower parts of the Tsitsa River are the identified sites of the proposed Ntabelanga and Lalini dams together with the planned irrigation and hydro-power generation to be established in the sub-catchment. The rest of the catchment is rural with subsistence farming and a number of towns and villages acting as commercial, education and health service centres. Water quality overview Water quality in this WMA is generally good, with little contamination by nutrients and other toxins, probably due to the dispersed nature of the settlements and their sheer size, and very little industry. There are localised problems related to urban settlements. The most serious form of pollution or water quality impacts in the catchment are high turbidities due to soil erosion. This has reached very serious proportions in the rivers on the eastern side. The cause of this is primarily oversettlement and poor agricultural and overgrazing practices, that are exacerbated by the steep catchments and severe storms that occur. The high silt loads are

  • Participatory Mapping in a Developing Country Context: Lessons from South Africa
    land Article Participatory Mapping in a Developing Country Context: Lessons from South Africa Dylan Weyer *, Joana Carlos Bezerra and Alta De Vos Department of Environmental Science, Rhodes University, P.O. Box 94, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-63-53-8155 Received: 31 May 2019; Accepted: 23 August 2019; Published: 3 September 2019 Abstract: Digital participatory mapping improves accessibility to spatial information and the way in which knowledge is co-constructed and landscapes co-managed with impoverished communities. However, many unintended consequences for social and epistemic justice may be exacerbated in developing country contexts. Two South African case studies incorporating Direct-to-Digital participatory mapping in marginalized communities to inform land-use decision-making, and the ethical challenges of adopting this method are discussed. Understanding the past and present context of the site and the power dynamics at play is critical to develop trust and manage expectations among research participants. When employing unfamiliar technology, disparate literacy levels and language barriers create challenges for ensuring participants understand the risks of their involvement and recognize their rights. The logistics of using this approach in remote areas with poor infrastructure and deciding how best to leave the participants with the maps they have co-produced in an accessible format present further challenges. Overcoming these can however offer opportunity for redressing past injustices and empowering marginalized communities with a voice in decisions that affect their livelihoods. Keywords: D2D mapping; PGIS/PPGIS methods; epistemic justice; social justice; local knowledge; landscape management; ethics 1. Introduction Increasingly, researchers and policy makers are recognizing the importance of taking a multiple evidence approach to co-produce knowledge that can enhance our understanding of the governance of natural resources for human well-being [1–3].

Function is central in this indigenous concept, which is subject to spatial and temporal variability in terms of plant species that are included as a result of diversity in ecology, culinary repertoire and change over time. As a result, the concept embraces indigenous, indigenised and recently introduced leafy vegetable species but this article is concerned mainly with the indigenous and indigenised species. In South Africa, the collection of these two types of leafy vegetables from the wild, or from cultivated fields where some of them grow as weeds, has a long history that has been intimately linked to women and their traditional livelihood tasks.

  • Rock Art and the Contested Landscape of the North Eastern Cape, South Africa
    ROCK ART AND THE CONTESTED LANDSCAPE OF THE NORTH EASTERN CAPE, SOUTH AFRICA Leila Henry A dissertation for the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg, June 2010. DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. _____________________ (Leila Marguerita Henry) ________ day of_______________, 2010 i ABSTRACT The north Eastern Cape is well known for its exceptional fine-line rock art. Recently, two non-fine-line traditions have been identified in the high mountains of this region. These corpora of rock art formed part of the interaction between San and non-San individuals in the creolised context of the nineteenth century. My discovery of further non-fine-line rock art, on the inland plateau, offers an opportunity to better understand the development of non-fine-line rock art and the role it played in relations between different groups. I argue that these three corpora of non-fine-line rock art are chronological variants of a single tradition, which I label the Type 2 tradition. The development of this tradition is associated with the breakdown of independent San-led bands and their loss of control of the space of painting, which became a contested landscape as multi-ethnic groups vied for political influence in the region and access to the San spirit world that would aid in their raiding prowess.

It prioritises its limited resources for the maintenance of functioning, but threatened, ecological infrastructure overly severely degraded systems. The Tsitsa Project is currently doing restoration work in Quaternary Catchment T35 A-E. This targets the upper Tsitsa River catchment and is the current focus area for the biophysical monitoring. In order to gain an understanding of the physical processes at play in the Catchment and the success of different rehabilitation processes it is imperative to conduct biophysical monitoring surveys. This report follows on the Biophysical Monitoring Plan set out by the Tsitsa Project (Schlegel et al., 2019). This report sets out the methods for the Biophysical Monitoring done to date for the Tsitsa Project and includes details on monitoring sites and the methodology for data collection.
