  • Mbombela Water Quality
    Water Requirements and Availability Reconciliation Strategy for the Mbombela Municipal Area WATER QUALITY REPORT NOVEMBER 2013 FINAL Water Requirements and Availability Reconciliation Strategy for the Mbombela Municipal Area Executive Summary The water use within the Mbombela Local Municipality (MLM) has increased rapidly over the last few years and the available water resources will soon be insufficient to supply the users within the municipal area at an acceptable level of assurance. IWR Water Resources has been appointed to develop a Water Reconciliation Strategy. Poor water quality has a direct impact on water quantity in a number of ways, and therefore water quality requirements are key to the development of a reconciliation strategy. Polluted water that cannot be used for drinking, bathing, industry or agriculture effectively reduces the amount of useable water within a given area. The current water quality status of the Crocodile River deteriorates downstream, with unacceptably high levels of salts (EC), turbidity, pH and phosphates occurring from below the Kaap River confluence. The major drivers of water quality deterioration due to high phosphate levels are a combination of waste water effluent (Nelspruit, Kanyamazane, Matsulu, Hectorspruit, Malelane and Komatipoort), and runoff from fertilisers used for the intensively irrigated sugar cane and subtropical fruits. The increased salt levels result from diffuse returns from intensive agriculture and gold mining activities in the Kaap River Catchment The increased pH values are due to algal growth, and the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. At night the photosynthesis stops, and algae and bacteria release carbon dioxide, forming carbonic acid and causing a drop in pH again, due to nutrients.

This is to promote safety, efficiency and orderliness in the Kruger Special Rules Area. All aircraft operating in the Kruger Special Rules Area should maintain a listening watch and broadcast regular position reports on frequency 130,35 MHz. Pilots operating below the Kruger TMA should therefore ensure that they do not exceed the applicable altitude restriction as stipulated on SRA routings and also to remain below the Kruger TMA. Pilots are encouraged to squawk 2000, Mode C, at all times. The following routes will be applicable in the Kruger Special Rules Area: 1. Routes for VFR aircraft in the Kruger Special Rules Area: From the North and North-West to Kruger All VFR traffic is to route via Hazyview, cross Hazyview at 5000 FT ALT, then via White River, cross White River at 4500 FT ALT, then to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (FAKN). All VFR traffic is to remain clear of the Kruger TMA. If no contact or no ATC clearance into the Kruger CTR has been obtained, hold north of White River at 4500 FT ALT, till a joining clearance has been obtained.

    INVESTIGATING THE LEVEL OF ALIGNMENT BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL CAPITAL BUDGETS AND THE SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS IN THE EHLANZENI DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY By NWABISA PULUMO Research article presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Urban and Regional Science in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Mr. D du Plessis March 2015 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2015 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of two important post 1994 planning initiatives on spatial restructuring through an empirical analysis of the extent of alignment between the municipal Spatial Development Frameworks and the application of capital budgets as presented in their Integrated Development Plans. The study area includes four local municipalities in the Ehlanzeni District Municipality in the Mpumalanga province and used budget information over a three year period between 2011/12 and 2013/14. The analysis considered total planned investment as well as investment in three sub-categories including infrastructure, economic and social investment. The results of the study indicated that overall the planned spatial investment patterns as reflected by the IDP capital budgets of the municipalities were influenced by some of the spatial development priorities as outlined in the municipal SDFs.
