Part Three proposes an alternative development proposal for the site with two scenarios: one consists of four-storey, walk-up social housing units and the other is an intensification scenario with seven-storey social housing blocks. The financial details displayed are only a snapshot of a complex financial model that was produced with the assistance of number of experts in the field.

  • The Oldest Club in the Country Is Showing Off a New Look That Pays Tribute to the Pioneers of South African Golf. by Brendan Barratt
    GOLF MEMORABILIA A ROYAL TRIBUTE The oldest club in the country is showing off a new look that pays tribute to the pioneers of South African golf. By Brendan Barratt In 2016, US website Golf Advisor provided a ‘global’ list of 15 must-visit spots for golf memorabilia lovers. While the intent was honourable, it was far from a comprehensive register and, somewhat predictably, despite the sport’s European origins a few hundred years before the game made its way across the Atlantic, this collection of venues is disappointingly US-centric. Conspicuous by its absence among this list of museums, clubs, shops and even a pub – The Dunvegan in St Andrews – is arguably the greatest collection of golfing memorabilia of all, located at the British Golf Museum in St Andrews, Scotland. Another historically significant – and rather valuable – golfing collection omitted from the list can be found at the oldest golf club in England, London’s Royal Blackheath. The club recently sold the most famous painting from its collection for the equivalent of R13-million in order to purchase the land on which the course is situated. Closer to home, Royal Cape Golf Club, in Cape Town, has launched its newly curated and refurbished collection of historical golfing memorabilia. The project, driven by former club captains Peter Sauerman and David Leslie, showcases the history of the country’s oldest golf club and its important role in the origins of the sport in South Africa.

  • Amphibian Conservation in an Urban Park
    T TITLE PAGE AMPHIBIAN CONSERVATION IN AN URBAN PARK: A spatial approach to quantifying threats to Anura on the Cape peninsula Zishan Cassiem Ebrahim Thesis presented in (partial) fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Botany and Zoology at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Dr G.J. Measey December 2017 i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za 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. Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Species’ threat assessments produce generalized threat impact scores, often by considering regional-scale representations of threats. Cities, on the other hand, produce municipal-scale, high resolution data that are proxies for threats; furthermore, cities in mega- diverse regions are home to a high number of threatened species. Prioritization of conservation action is biased for where more information is known (about the ecosystem), and where a positive outcome can be anticipated. Eight Cape peninsula amphibian species have a threatened conservation status. They are isolated on highlands or are restricted to remnant and suburban habitats, dependent on both urban and protected terrestrial and freshwater habitats found in the City of Cape Town and Table Mountain National Park.

  • Open Educational Resources (OER) (Abelson and Long 2008; Baraniuk 2008)
    CHAPTER 365 Days of Openness: The Emergence of OER at the University of Cape Town Cheryl Hodgkinson-Williams, Michael Paskevicius, Glenda Cox, Shihaam Shaikh, Laura Czerniewicz and Samantha Lee-Pan, University of Cape Town Introduction Historically, resources such as books, journals, newspapers, audio and video recordings have been fairly well curated in university libraries. However, the same cannot be said for teaching and learning materials, unless they have been included in a textbook or study guide. With the growth in digital media, libraries have been extending their curation of scholarly resources to include electronic journals, digital books and reference guides, broadening access to these beyond the physical walls of the library. While the growth in digital technology has prompted academics to create their own customised and contextually specific digital media for use in their teaching in the form of PowerPoint presentations, manuals, handbooks, guides, media resources and websites, these resources are most often stored on personal hard drives, on departmental servers or within password-protected institutional learning management systems. Access to these digital materials is usually limited to registered students undertaking specific courses within specific institutions and usually only disseminated by individual academics or departments. In the early 2000s, institutions such as MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Rice University challenged this convention of locking down teaching and learning resources, within institutions or departments or by individuals, by opening access to many of their resources to the rest of the world as Open Educational Resources (OER) (Abelson and Long 2008; Baraniuk 2008). While the move to opening education resources globally was inspiring, UCT had specific local drivers.
