Previously we have shown that humans had expanded their diet to include Middle Stone Age marine resources by w164 ka (Æ12 ka) at Pinnacle Point Cave 13B (PP13B) on the south coast of South Mossel Bay Africa, perhaps as a response to these harsh environmental conditions.

To address this problem, a study was undertaken to develop AFFILIATIONS: a new corrosion map of the country, with the emphasis placed on providing greater detail concerning 1School of Chemical and Metallurgical South Africa’s inland regions. Here we present this new corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere, Engineering and DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Strong Materials, based on 12-month corrosion rates of mild steel at more than 100 sites throughout the country. Assimilations University of the Witwatersrand, and statistical analyses of the data (published, unpublished and new) show that the variability in the corrosion Johannesburg, South Africa rate of mild steel decreases significantly moving inland. Accordingly, the average first-year corrosion rate of 2Orytech (Pty) Ltd, Roodepoort, South Africa mild steel at the inland sites (at all corrosion monitoring spots located more than 30 km away from the ocean) measured 21±12 µm/a [95% CI: 18–23 µm/a].

  • WC043 Mossel
    PREFACE The Constitution obliges all spheres of Government to respect, protect, promote and fulfill the rights contained in the Bill of Rights of South Africa. The key focus areas (priority objectives) of Mossel Bay Municipality are as follows: 1) Democratic and accountable governance; 2) Provision of services in a sustainable manner; 3) Promote social and economic development; 4) Safe and healthy environment; and 5) Public participation (community development) Through these key focus areas outlined in the IDP, we must intervene and focus our resources in order to achieve our goals. The Constitution compels municipalities to strive, within their financial and administrative capacity, to achieve these objectives. Local Government is the closest sphere to the communities and therefore has a key role in the delivering of basic services and to enhance the development of its communities. As derived in the previous revision of the IDP, this document is a strategic plan to help us set out our budget priorities. At the recent public participation workshops residents indicated maintenance of roads, low and middle income housing, community safety, mobile police stations, storm water, sewerage, clinics and unemployment as the key priorities.
