1997, requires every municipality, as part of its integrated development planning process, to take all reasonable and necessary steps to ensure that the inhabitants within its area of jurisdiction have access to adequate housing on a progressive basis by: o setting housing delivery goals; o identifying suitable land for housing development and planning; and o facilitating, initiating and coordinating housing development in its area of jurisdiction. In line with this legislated mandate, this report presents a Housing Sector Plan for Umhlabuyalingana Municipality. It forms part of the Integrated Development Planning process and reflects the commitment to the responsibilities identified within the Housing Act. The aim of Umhlabuyalingana Housing Plan, 2007 is to assist with strategic planning and management of the Housing Department within the Umhlabuyalingana Municipality and as a result, to achieve a better standard of living for the people of Umhlabuyalingana and progressively move towards the creation of sustainable and integrated human settlements. A Housing Sector Plan directs objective setting and resource allocation, and provides a basis for decision making, in this case within a five year time frame. The plan thus attempts to address the questions of: o Where are we? o Where do we want to be? o How do we get there? o How do we resource and implement? o How do we measure? MAY 2009 UMHLABUYALINGANA MUNICIPALITY HOUSING SECTOR PLAN P a g e | 2 The Guideline Document: Starter Requirements in Support of Provincial Housing Development Plans, Version 1.0 published by the National Department of Housing and the CSIR describes a Housing Development Plan to: “…have a strategic emphasis and include analysis, prioritization, objective setting, strategy formulation and the definition of broad programmes for housing…” The Umhlabuyalingana Housing Sector Plan aims to assist with strategic planning and management functions of the Housing Department within the Umhlabuyalingana Municipality over a period of 5 years and as a result, to achieve a better standard of living and sustainable, integrated residential settlements for the people of Umhlabuyalingana. The Guideline Document: Starter Requirements in Support of Provincial Housing Development Plans, Version 1.0 published by the National Department of Housing and the CSIR confirms that the main focus of a housing plan is to: “…overcome problems emerging from the ad hoc approach to housing of the past, where housing delivery has occurred in inappropriate locations with poor access to employment opportunities, services and other physical and social infrastructure. “ Therefore a Housing Sector Plan is a tool for planning at a strategic level and aligning project delivery at a local level and provincial budgets. Housing refers to an integrated approach to development with the primary focus being on the delivery of shelter. It includes, among others, the development of housing units, service delivery, the upgrading of land tenure rights, social and community development and planning policy issues. Future housing projects should therefore aim to achieve all of these development goals. MAY 2009 UMHLABUYALINGANA MUNICIPALITY HOUSING SECTOR PLAN P a g e | 3 Housing delivery within the Umhlabuyalingana Municipal Area occurs mainly in the form of state funded, low cost housing in which the municipality serves as a developer. MAY 2009 UMHLABUYALINGANA MUNICIPALITY HOUSING SECTOR PLAN P a g e | 1 2 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 2.1 APPROACH The process to compile the Housing Sector Plan included the actions as contained in the figure on the next page: o Desk-top research o Project Steering Committee meetings o Stakeholder workshops. 2.1.1 DESKTOP RESEARCH Secondary data was collected for the compilation of the internal/external analysis and analyzed by means of a desktop exercise. Information was gathered from: o 2001 and 1996 Census data; o All relevant documentation including the current IDP, Development Plans and existing Policies available from the Municipality; o Discussion with relevant stakeholders; and o Other National and Provincial legislative and policy documents. 2.1.2 HOUSING STEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS Steering Committee Meetings were held with relevant stakeholders within the Municipality to: o Discuss and manage information dissemination; o Provide strategic guidance on Departmental requirements; o Manage quality control; and o Plan the way forward.

Early mission work in Natal and the then Crown Colony of Zululand led to the formation of the Zululand Mission, after Rev. Thomas Major reported on the need for support at Melmoth, Mahlabatini, Nongoma, Ubombo, Ingwavuma and Maputaland. Early work was performed by local evangelists under one Superintendent. Threlfall Mission was established in Maputaland, but later re-sited to nearby Manguzi, where a Methodist Mission Hospital was established in 1942.

  • Understanding the Educational Needs of Rural Teachers
    UNDERSTANDING THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF RURAL TEACHERS A CASE STUDY OF A RURAL EDUCATION INNOVATION IN KWANGWANASE. By Cecily Mary Rose Salmon Submitted as a dissertation component (which counts for 25 % of the degree) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education (Social Theory). University of Natal, Durban. December 1992. CONTENTS ABSTRACT LIST OF MAPS AND TABLES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE: Education in South Africa or "Bless my homeland forever". CHAPTER TWO: KwaNgwanase and the background to the Mobile Library Project (MLP) 1 CHAPTER THREE: Methodology, fieldwork and data analysis. CHAPTER FOUR: Conclusions and recommendations. APPENDIX 1: Questionnaire for Mobile Library Project teachers. BIBLIOGRAPHY (i) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the following key educational issues: the needs of rural teachers, the role of rural parents in education and the nature of support provided by non-governmental organisations. The literature on Soufh African education, rural education and in-service education and training provides a theoretical framework for the evaluation of an education innovation which began in 1986 in KwaNgwanase, in the Ubombo Circuit of the KwaZulu Department of Education and Culture. The focus of the study is to show how an innovation can be adapted by rural teachers to suit their own specific needs. It is acknowledged that improving teacher support and school provision within a rural area in South Africa is only a small step in transforming an inadequate education context. It remains the role of the state to provide a meaningful system of education for all South Africans, but communities can, and should, play a role in deciding how this service can best be utilised.

  • In Maputaland
    University of Pretoria – Morley R C (2006) Chapter 2 Study Area Introduction Maputaland is located at the southernmost end of the Mozambique Coastal Plain. This plain extends from Somalia in the north to northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in the south (Watkeys, Mason & Goodman 1993). It encapsulates an area of about 26,734 km2 defined as the Maputaland Centre of Endemism (see van Wyk 1994). This centre is bordered by the Inkomati-Limpopo River in the north, the Indian Ocean in the east, the Lebombo Mountains in the west and the St. Lucia estuary to the south. Biogeographically the northern boundary of the centre is not as clearly defined as the other borders (van Wyk 1994). Earlier authors (e.g. Moll 1978; Bruton & Cooper 1980) considered Maputaland as an area of 5,700 km2 in north-eastern KwaZulu- Natal. These authors clearly did not always consider areas beyond South Africa in their descriptions. There has been some contention over the name Maputaland, formerly known as Tongaland in South Africa (Bruton 1980). Nevertheless this now seems largely settled and the name Maputaland is taken to be politically acceptable (van Wyk 1994) and is generally accepted on both sides of the South Africa/Mozambique border. Maputaland is the northern part of the Maputaland-Pondoland Region, a more arbitrarily defined area of about 200 000 km2 of coastal belt between the Olifants- Limpopo River in the north (24oS), to the Great Kei River (33oS) in the south, bounded to the west by the Great Escarpment and to the east by the Indian Ocean (van Wyk 1994).

  • APOSTOLIC VICARIATE of INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description the Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma Is in the Northeastern Part of the Republic of South Africa
    APOSTOLIC VICARIATE OF INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description The Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma is in the northeastern part of the Republic of South Africa. It includes the districts of Ingwavuma, Ubombo and Hlabisa. The Holy See entrusted this territory to the Servite Order in 1938 and the Tuscan Province accepted the mandate to implant the Church in this area (implantatio ecclesiae). Bishop Costantino Barneschi, Vicar Apostolic of Bremersdorp (now Manzini) asked the American Province to send friars for the new mission. Fra Edwin Roy Kinch (1918-2003) arrived in Swaziland in 1947. Other friars came from the United States and the Apostolic Prefecture of Ingwavuma was born. On November 19, 1990 the territory became an Apostolic Vicariate. After the Second World War the missionary territory was assumed directly by the friars of the North American provinces. By a decree of the 1968 General Chapter the then existing communities were established as the Provincial Vicariate of Zululand, a dependency of the US Eastern Province. At present there are 10 Servite friars who are members of the Zululand Delegation OSM. Servites The friars of the Zululand delegation work in five communities: Hlabisa, Ingwavuma, KwaNgwanase, Mtubtuba and Ubombo; there are 9 solemn professed (2 local, 2 Canadian and 5 from the US). General Information Area: 12,369 sq km; population: 609,180; Catholics: 23,054; other denominations: Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists: 150,000; African Churches 60,000; non-Christian: 300,000; parishes: 5; missionary stations: 68; 8 Servite priests and one local priest: Father Wilbert Mkhawanazi.

  • Kosi Forest Lodge Directions
    Updated: April 2011 Directions to Kosi Forest Lodge Recommended route from Johannesburg : (8 hours) Head to Piet Retief on the N2, pass through Pongola and proceed south towards Hluhluwe (approximately 113km from Pongola). Turn left into the town of Hluhluwe (approx. 4kms) and follow the instructions below " Recommended route from Durban ". *** Alternate Route from Johannesburg : Head to Piet Retief and Pongola on the N2 and proceed south towards Mkuze. Approximately 45km from Pongola and 10km before Mkuze turn left towards Jozini. On leaving Jozini take a left turn towards the “Coastal Forest Reserve and KwaNgwanase” (signposted), ensuring that you are proceeding over the Pongola dam wall. After 45km at a T-junction turn right towards “KwaNgwanase”. Proceed for another 47 km past Tembe Elephant Park towards the town of Manguzi (KwaNgwanase). Please note that this route often has cattle wandering across it, some of the signs have fallen down and so caution and slower driving speeds are necessary. Also particularly around the area of Tembe Elephant Park, the road has quite a few large potholes which have caused damage to some cars. Although this route may appear shorter in distance, it takes almost as much time as the Hluhluwe Recommended Route above, but without all the hazards! From Durban City: (5 hours) From Durban, proceed on the N2 North out of Durban bypassing Richards Bay, Empangeni and Mtubatuba and head towards the town of Hluhluwe. Turn off the N2 towards Hluhluwe, proceeding through the town until you reach the last traffic circle. Turn left towards Mbazwane/Sodwana Bay and proceed for 0.7 km and turn right again towards Sodwana Bay/Mbazwane.
