town’s CBD, as well Central Business Districts (CBDs) form the economic hub of towns and cities as decentralised activity nodes within the town itself and in the nearby in terms of providing in a variety of social, economic and residential needs of Marapong Township. The study area thus comprises the following four surrounding communities. In the past few years, many towns and cities in activity nodes (illustrated on Figure 1): South Africa have experienced urban decay as the result of an exodus of Lephalale CBD investment activities from CBDs to the surrounding residential areas which has consequently led to the manifestation of new unsustainable urban forms. Onverwacht Node Marapong Township – Spar Complex Lephalale town (formerly Ellisras) is set to become one of the largest cities in Marapong Township – Proposed CBD the country, due to booming mining and petro-chemical activity. It therefore needs to be transformed from a small rural town to a city which plays a major The Lephalale CBD (also see Figure 2a) is located along regional access role in South Africa. The challenge in Lephalale and particularly the CBD is route R510 which leads to Thabazimbi Town in the south, and was identified thus growth management rather than regeneration. For this reason, the as the primary activity node in the municipal area. The Onverwacht Node is Waterberg District Municipality (WDM) commissioned the drafting of a CBD located approximately 3km to the west of the CBD along route D1675/ Nelson Development Plan for Lephalale which is based on the anticipated/projected Mandela Drive (also see Figure 2b). future growth of the town as defined in the Lephalale Spatial Development Framework and Integrated Development Plan. The access road to Marapong Township is found approximately 13km further westward along route D1675, and the township is situated about 4km to the east of the road. The Spar Complex Node is the first node along the township access road (also see Figure 2c), while a vacant land pocket about 1km eastwards in the central extents of the township was identified as the future Marapong Township CBD (also see Figure 2d). 4 | P a g e LEPHALALE CBD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1.2.2 Study Objectives Creating a Sense of Place; Defining Public Open Space as Focal Points; Integration of all social amenities within a robust Development The main objective of the Lephalale CBD Development Plan is to revitalize Framework; the Central Business Districts and thereby also upgrade the living conditions of people within the Lephalale and Marapong areas; creating an integrated Addressing safety and security through innovative planning and and functional urban environment, and rehabilitating the dysfunctional design; components of the CBD areas with economic development.

  • Water Risks of Coal Driven Mega Projects in Limpopo: the MCWAP and the EMSEZ
    Water risks of coal driven mega projects in Limpopo: the MCWAP and the EMSEZ Figure 1. Artist impression of proposed Electro Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) between Musina and Makhado (from EMSEZ website). Victor Munnik, Society Work and Politics (SWOP) Institute, University of the Witwatersrand May 2020 1 Preface The proposed Electro Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) threat in Makhado is both a huge risk to water users and the environment in the Limpopo valley, and difficult to take seriously, since it has so many irrational aspects. For that reason many NGO researchers have been reluctant to become involved in a complicated issue in what could be a waste of time and money. A word of thanks is thus due to Richard Worthington at Friedrich Ebert Foundation who commissioned this piece in order to get this work done. I sincerely hope that this will be useful to fellow activists and to decision makers. This report focuses specifically on the water aspects of the EMSEZ, which I believe is a major threat, although together with other activists I wonder about the likelihood of the EMSEZ plans. The Mokolo Crocodile West Augmentation Project (MCWAP) is also discussed in this report, as an example of how fossil fuel development can still have dire water implications five decades after the start of coal mining and coal fired power generation, and a caution that even failed mega projects, as the EMSEZ is likely to be, have a cost to people and the environment. This report relies on a close reading of the Department of Water and Sanitation’s 2016 Limpopo Water Management Area North Reconciliation Strategy, as well as the October 2018 DWS Master Plan.

  • 13. Traffic and Transport
    Environmental Impact Report for the proposed establishment of a New Coal-Fired Power Station in the Lephalale Area, Limpopo Province 13. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT Goba Pty Ltd was appointed by Bohlweki Environmental to undertake a traffic/transportation impact study as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed Power Station development to be located near Lephalale (previously Ellisras) in the Limpopo Province. A study area locality plan is shown in Appendix W, Figure 1. This report contains a description of the Status Quo transport environment and infrastructure, the transport/traffic impact for the construction and operation of the proposed Power Station and access road alternative evaluation. The proposed Power Station is to be situated on the farm Naauwontkomen and the proposed Ash Dump on the adjacent farm Eenzaamheid. 13.1. Status Quo Conditions The following section summarises the present conditions related to traffic/transportation for the development of the proposed Power Station. 13.1.1. Provincial Roads and Traffic Volumes in the Surrounding Area The latest Provincial traffic counts that could be obtained were 12hour (06:00 to 18:00) traffic counts undertaken in 2004. The daily traffic volumes may typically be 20% higher. These traffic volumes have been captured on Figure 2, Appendix W depicting all the major Provincial Roads approaching Lephalale. The major road approaching from the south (via Vaalwater), route R517 or Road P198-1, carries 838 vehicles with 8% of these being heavy vehicles. This road is in very good condition, apart from some isolated patches. There is however a significantly steep pass which affects heavy vehicle speeds.
