CHRIS HANI DISTRICT SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK REVIEW JULY 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE OF CHRIS HANI DISTRICT INTRODUCTION The points below set out some of the most distinctive features of the Chris Hani District taken into consideration in the review of the SDF: - In accordance with the requirements of legislation governing municipal planning, the Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM) reviewed its District Spatial Development Framework (SDF). • It is estimated that the total population of the district in 2015 will reach about 813,473 people (approximately 216,600 households), with the highest population densities located in the former Ciskei and In line with the function of the District Municipality to co-ordinate development activities in the district, the District Transkei areas. This reflects a reduction from previous estimates (2001 and 2004) and suggests that the SDF should be taken as a guide to where planning and development initiatives could best be directed

  • Biomonitoring of the Keiskamma River System (R10 Catchment)
    BIOMONOTORING OF THE KIESKAMMA RIVER SYSTEM (R 10 CATCHMENT) Figure 1; Sandile Dam March 2008 PREPARED BY: Mlondolozi N. Mbikwana Assisted by: Tembela Bushula Collection of data: M.N. Mbikwana, K. Mkosana, E. Weni, T Bushula and N. Finca PO BOX 7019 EAST LONDON 5201 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main objective of the South African National River Health Programme (NRHP) makes use of the instream and riparian biological communities like the fish, macro invertebrates and vegetation to assess the ecological health or condition of rivers. These biological communities are always found in rivers and they are often affected by any disturbance that occurs in the river ecosystem. This report provides the results of the biomonitoring survey that was undertaken in November 2007. Field indices used for data collection included the South African Scoring System version 5.0 (SASS5) for Macro invertebrates and the Fish Assemblage Integrity Index for fish (FAII). Ten biomonitoring sites were selected in the Keiskamma River system; this includes three sites in the Tyume River (a tributary to Keiskamma River) and they are: Site Description Coordinates Site Code 1 Tyume Head waters (Hogsback) S32o 36’ 39.8”, E26o R1Tyum-Hogsb 56’ 52.2” 1a ** Tyume Head waters (Sompondo S32o 37’ 34.2”, E26o R1Tyum-Sompo ** Village) 57’ 19.9” 2 Tyume Fort Hare S32o 46’ 44.6”, E26o R1Tyum-Forth 51’ 21.5” 3 Tyume before confluence with S32o 54’ 06.2”, E26o R1Tyum-Becon Keiskamma river 55’ 40.0” 4 Keiskamma above confluence with S32o 54’ 41.9”, E26o R1Keis-abcon Tyume 56’ 17.6” 5 Keiskamma

  • Strategic Military Colonisation: the Cape Eastern Frontier 1806 – 1872
    46 STRATEGIC MILITARY COLONISATION: THE CAPE EASTERN FRONTIER 1806–1872 Linda Robson* and Mark Oranje† Department of Town and Regional Planning, University of Pretoria Abstract The Cape Eastern Frontier of South Africa offers a fascinating insight into British military strategy as well as colonial development. The Eastern Frontier was for over 100 years a very turbulent frontier. It was the area where the four main population groups (the Dutch, the British, the Xhosa and the Khoikhoi) met, and in many respects, key decisions taken on this frontier were seminal in the shaping of South Africa. This article seeks to analyse this frontier in a spatial manner, to analyse how British settlement patterns on the ground were influenced by strategy and policy. The time frame of the study reflects the truly imperial colonial era, from the second British occupation of the Cape colony in 1806 until representative self- governance of the Cape colony in 1872. Introduction British colonial expansion into the Eastern Cape of Southern Africa offers a unique insight into the British method of colonisation, land acquisition and consolidation. This article seeks to analyse the British imperial approach to settlement on a turbulent frontier. The spatial development pattern is discussed in order to understand the defensive approach of the British during the period 1806 to 1872 better.

  • Phase 1 Palaeontological Impact Assessment of 2 Quarries and 6 Borrow Pits, Between Willowvale and Dwesa, EC Province
    Phase 1 Palaeontological Impact Assessment of 2 Quarries and 6 Borrow Pits, between Willowvale and Dwesa, EC Province. Report prepared for: CCS Environmental Consultants. Dr Lloyd Rossouw PO Box 38806 Langenhovenpark 9330 Executive Summary A Phase 1 Palaeontological Impact Assessment was carried out at a two quarries and six borrow pit sites between Willowvale and Dwesa in the Eastern Cape. Quarry 1 and 2 are exclusively doleritic and therefore not palaeontologically significant. Borrow Pit 1 and 3 are located in Adelaide Subgroup strata, while an intrusive dolerite outcrop (dyke) and Adelaide Subgroup metasediments are represented at Borrow Pit 2. Borrow Pits 4, 5 and 6 are located in older Ecca Group strata. No fossils or trace fossils were located near or in the vicinity of the borrow pits during the baseline survey. The survey of exposed strata has indicated no evidence for potential palaeontological impact. There is no indication for the accumulation and preservation of intact fossil material within the Quaternary sediments (topsoils) covering the underlying sedimentary rocks. 2 Introduction At the request of Control Civil Services, a Palaeontological Impact Assessment was carried out along designated areas between Willowvale and Dwesa in the Eastern Cape with the aim to investigate six borrow pit localities and two quarries that will be utilized to maintain and rehabilitate the gravel road infrastructure in the region. The survey is required as a prerequisite for new development in terms of the National Environmental Management Act and is also called for in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act 25 of 1999. In terms of Section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act 25 of 1999 the survey is required as a prerequisite for any development which will change the character of a site exceeding 5 000 m2 in extent.

It is a platform for the general public, civil society and the public and private sector to contribute to the consolidated effort to fund various initiatives. The Citizens in Solidarity campaign (CIS), which is part of the overall communication campaign of the Fund, aims to lower the spread of COVID-19 through strengthening the Fund’s objectives of prevention, detection and care. Our message is to invite all South Africans to become Citizens in Solidarity. Being a Citizen in Solidarity is easy. The campaign is an opportunity for every South African to play their part in preventing the spread of the virus. The message is that a few simple changes in behaviour saves lives. And it is easy to do. “Wash your hands to protect your neighbours; wear a mask to protect your friends; keep a safe distance to protect your family; and just be kind.” A growing sense of fear, anxiety, mistrust and grief spread through communities as COVID-19 cases increased. The mandate of the CIS campaign is to leverage networks across key sectors of society to change simple personal behaviours that could significantly spread the rate of infection.

  • Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study For
    Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa Using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data Pilot Study – Catchment Management Area 15 by D van Bladeren, P K Zawada and D Mahlangu SRK Consulting & Council for Geoscience Report to the Water Research Commission on the project “Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data” WRC Report No 1260/1/07 ISBN 078-1-77005-537-7 March 2007 DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION During the past 10 years South Africa has experienced several devastating flood events that highlighted the need for more accurate and reasonable flood estimation. The most notable events were those of 1995/96 in KwaZulu-Natal and north eastern areas, the November 1996 floods in the Southern Cape Region, the floods of February to March 2000 in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape provinces and the recent floods in March 2003 in Montagu in the Western Cape. These events emphasized the need for a standard approach to estimate flood probabilities before developments are initiated or existing developments evaluated for flood hazards. The flood peak magnitudes and probabilities of occurrence or return period required for flood lines are often overlooked, ignored or dealt with in a casual way with devastating effects. The National Disaster and new Water Act and the rapid rate at which developments are being planned will require the near mass production of flood peak probabilities across the country that should be consistent, realistic and reliable.
