  • Article Culture and Nature in the Valley of A
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. Article Culture and nature in the Valley of a Thousand Hills - a tough guide to 'other' spaces Malcolm Draper One small spot of theory for the road With the promise of a comfortable airconditioned ride encompassing breathtaking views, Zulu culture, nature reserves, crocodiles and snakes, commercial guides offer visitors half-day tours to the Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa. Through providing an unsettling alternative narrative to the same route, this guide bypasses bare-breasted Zulu maidens, warriors, diviners and lethal reptiles on display. Instead, it briefly dwells on other places offering less packaged insight into the relationship between culture and nature in post-colonial, post-apartheid South Africa. To appreciate the significance of the traffic on the margin between sites of alternate social ordering, as well as between nature and culture, the road is adhered to closely as a conduit shown to have shaped views of the landscape called the Valley of a Thousand Hills. This is all seen through the windows of a conceptual vehicle test-driven for African conditions - Michel Foucault's increasingly popular heterotopia. By taking it on the Old Main Road between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, whilst keeping an eye on the past, the complex globally interwoven heterotopology of South Africa is revealed, and a view that subverts the popular tourist perspective of the landscape is provided.

  • Heritage Impact Assessment of Waste Water Treatment Works, Ugie, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
    HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT WORKS, UGIE, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA Assessment and report by For Terreco Consulting Telephone Jo Daneel (043) 721 1502 Box 20057 Ashburton 3213 PIETERMARITZBURG South Africa Telephone 033 326 1136 Facsimile 086 672 8557 082 655 9077 / 072 725 1763 [email protected] 13 November 2007 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT WORKS, UGIE, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE Management summary eThembeni Cultural Heritage was appointed by Terreco Consulting to undertake a heritage impact assessment of a proposed waste water treatment works near Ugie, in terms of the Heritage Resources Management Act No 25 of 1999. Two eThembeni staff members inspected the area on 31 October 2007 and completed a controlled-exclusive surface survey, as well as a database and literature search. We identified no heritage resources within any of the proposed development site options, with the exception of a group of ancestral graves next to option 6. The graves are located outside of a formal cemetery and are stone packed with no identifying markers, although some have upright uninscribed headstones. It will not be necessary to relocate these graves in the event of the construction of the treatment works at site option 6. Instead, the graves should be fenced permanently, with an access gate and an approximately two metre buffer, to protect them against inadvertent damage during and after construction. All graves have high heritage significance at all levels for their social value and may not be altered in any way without a permit from SAHRA and the permission of the families concerned.

Following international best practice it is a facilitation role, but one that has proved to be critical to growing the profile and investment of the province. Activities include company visitation programmes, industry competitive development programmes, supplier development programmes for BBBEE companies, assisting companies with regards to incentives applications, work permits and business permits, permissions to operate as well as the promotion of local purchasing, education and training and technical assistance. “The agency is equipped with the professional expertise and experience as well as national and international networks geared to maintaining and growing KwaZulu-Natal’s competitive advantage as a premier investment destination and leader in export trade.” The strength of KwaZulu-Natal as a preferred investment destination is its two major seaports - Durban and Richards Bay - as well as Dube TradePort, home to King Shaka International Airport.
