Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022
Swartland Municipality Integrated Development Plan for 2017-2022 THIRD AMENDMENT 28 MAY 2020 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2017-2022 Compiled in terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) Amendments approved by the Municipal Council on 28 May 2020 The Integrated Development Plan is the Municipality’s principal five year strategic plan that deals with the most critical development needs of the municipal area (external focus) as well as the most critical governance needs of the organisation (internal focus). The Integrated Development Plan – is adopted by the council within one year after a municipal election and remains in force for the council’s elected term (a period of five years); is drafted and reviewed annually in consultation with the local community as well as interested organs of state and other role players; guides and informs all planning and development, and all decisions with regard to planning, management and development; forms the framework and basis for the municipality’s medium term expenditure framework, annual budgets and performance management system; and seeks to promote integration by balancing the economic, ecological and social pillars of sustainability without compromising the institutional capacity required in the implementation, and by coordinating actions across sectors and spheres of government. AREA PLANS FOR 2020/2021 The five area plans, i.e. Swartland North (Moorreesburg and Koringberg), Swartland East (Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel), Swartland West (Darling and Yzerfontein), Swartland South (Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Kalbaskraal) and Swartland Central (Malmesbury) help to ensure that the IDP is more targeted and relevant to addressing the priorities of all groups, including the most vulnerable. -

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage. -

A Brief History of Wine in South Africa Stefan K
European Review - Fall 2014 (in press) A brief history of wine in South Africa Stefan K. Estreicher Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409-1051, USA Vitis vinifera was first planted in South Africa by the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck in 1655. The first wine farms, in which the French Huguenots participated – were land grants given by another Dutchman, Simon Van der Stel. He also established (for himself) the Constantia estate. The Constantia wine later became one of the most celebrated wines in the world. The decline of the South African wine industry in the late 1800’s was caused by the combination of natural disasters (mildew, phylloxera) and the consequences of wars and political events in Europe. Despite the reorganization imposed by the KWV cooperative, recovery was slow because of the embargo against the Apartheid regime. Since the 1990s, a large number of new wineries – often, small family operations – have been created. South African wines are now available in many markets. Some of these wines can compete with the best in the world. Stefan K. Estreicher received his PhD in Physics from the University of Zürich. He is currently Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Physics Department at Texas Tech University. His biography can be found at http://jupiter.phys.ttu.edu/stefanke. One of his hobbies is the history of wine. He published ‘A Brief History of Wine in Spain’ (European Review 21 (2), 209-239, 2013) and ‘Wine, from Neolithic Times to the 21st Century’ (Algora, New York, 2006). The earliest evidence of wine on the African continent comes from Abydos in Southern Egypt. -

KULTUURSAkE EN \ PO RT 1 MAY 2009 I Revised report Executive summary Withers Environmental Consultants requested that the Agency for Cultural Resource Management conduct a Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment for a proposed retirement village type development on Erf 36 in St. Helena Bay. The subject property is currently zoned Fishing Industry and will be rezoned to General Residential to accommodate the proposed development. The property is vacant, but the demolished remains of a fishing factory are still visible on the proposed site. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the property is severely degraded, but the northern and western portion is still relatively undisturbed The following findings were made: A shell midden on top of a small dune hummock was documented directly alongside the fence line in the northern portion of the site. Shellfish occurs in open patches on the dune top and is also scattered fairly widely over the surrounding area. Stone tools in quartz, silcrete, quartzite and indurated shale were counted, but these are spread very thinly and unevenly over the area. -

What Lies Beneath Table Mountain Or All Models Are Wrong, but Some Are Useful
WHAT LIES BENEATH TABLE MOUNTAIN OR ALL MODELS ARE WRONG, BUT SOME ARE USEFUL Prof Alexander Kisters August 2016 WHAT LIES BENEATH TABLE MOUNTAIN OR ALL MODELS ARE WRONG, BUT SOME ARE USEFUL Inaugural lecture delivered on 2 August 2016 Prof Alexander Kisters Department of Earth Sciences Faculty of Science Stellenbosch University Editor: SU Language Centre Printing: SUN MeDIA ISBN: 978-0-7972-1614-3 Copyright © 2016 Alexander Kisters BIOGRAPHY rofessor Alexander (Alex) Kisters completed his Pgeology undergraduate studies and MSc at the Aachen University of Technology (RWTH) in Germany and obtained a PhD in geology from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Subsequently, he had worked in the mineral exploration industry in South Africa and had held various postdoctoral and lecturer positions at the universities of Aachen, Cologne and the Witwatersrand before joining Stellenbosch University in 1999. Currently, he is appointed at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Stellenbosch, as a professor in structural geology and tectonics where he teaches under- and postgraduate courses. He has supervised and cosupervised over 50 honours students, 15 MSc studies and 7 PhD studies. Alex has held a National Research Foundation rating for the past 15 years and a B-rating for the last five years. His research focuses on a range of topics related to crustal deformation aimed at integrating field data with regional tectonic models and more generic processes of melt transport and hydrothermal fluid flow in the Earth’s crust. 1 ABSTRACT he geological evolution of the Western Cape remains elusive after over 100 years of research. Based on regional Tfieldwork and correlations, this contribution aims to develop a tectonic model for the deposition and deformation of rocks of the Malmesbury Group, the rocks that underlie much of the Western Cape. -

Cover Photos: P Huizinga and P Morant Final Draft: Verlorenvlei Situation Assessment Executive Summary Summary of Problems and Impacts Through stakeholder consultation, 16 key activities have been identified as threatening (or potentially threatening) to the ecosystem services provided by Verlorenvlei. These activities contribute to an array of problems and associated environmental impacts and socio-economic consequences, when managed inappropriately, as illustrated in Table 7.1 and Table 7.2. From these tables it is clear that there are no one-to-one linkages between the activities, problems and impacts – several activities can contribute to one or more problems which, in turn, can contribute to more than one impact, and vice versa. -
