A Developmental Municipality That Ensures Sustainable Economic Growth and Equitable Service Delivery
MUTALE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY A DEVELOPMENTAL MUNICIPALITY THAT ENSURES SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EQUITABLE SERVICE DELIVERY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016/17 5/30/2016 0 MAYORS FOREWORD It gives me pleasure to represent to you our integrated development plan for 2016/2017- which is a collective blueprint for future development trajectory of our municipality emanating from our continued engagement with our stakeholders. I therefore commend all our partners in development and stakeholders for their continued support in shaping our development. Census 2011 results on unemployment indicate that 40% of Mutale Local Municipality lives in poverty. This economic data compels us to marshal the municipality resources efficiently and complement the strategic role on national and provincial governments in creation of sustainable jobs. This IDP/Budget for 2016/2017 therefore opens yet another chapter in our gallant effort to dislodge the stranglehold of poverty and free more of our people out of hunger and diseases. We have also moved a step in a right direction by getting a qualified audit reports from the Auditor General in the previous financial year. It is the evidence of our hard work to ensure compliance and proper management of the public funds. We have, in this IDP, endeavored to present the development priorities contained in the election manifesto of the ANC, the party that is in government, as well as our constitutional mandate as the sphere of government that is closest to the people. The key word is delivery, service delivery alongside the infrastructure development that has become necessary to maintain acceptable life standard for all sectors of the local community. -
Evaluation of Flood Risks Using Flood Frequency Models: a Case Study of Luvuvhu River Catchment in Limpopo Province, South Africa
This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Flood Risk Management and Response (FRIAR 2016) www.witconferences.com Evaluation of flood risks using flood frequency models: a case study of Luvuvhu River Catchment in Limpopo Province, South Africa L. R. Singo1,2, P. M. Kundu2, F. I. Mathivha2 & J. O. Odiyo2 1Process Technology Department, Rand Water, South Africa 2Department of Hydrology and Water Resources, University of Venda, South Africa Abstract The Luvuvhu River Catchment has experienced floods of varying magnitudes resulting from heavy rainfall associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone and cyclones. Human activities in the catchment have aggravated risks of flooding. Risks of flooding have been experienced in the past, with the major ones occurring during sporadic rainfall events. This study aims to evaluate flood risks through rainfall distribution characteristics in the catchment using flood frequency models. Statistical analyses that include Gumbel and Log- Pearson Type III distributions were selected to perform flood frequency analysis. Peak flood magnitudes for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200-year recurrence intervals were estimated using the two distributions. In peri-urban areas such as the Luvuvhu River Catchment, design life of structures for low risks (10-year return periods) and medium risks (50-year return periods) catchments are important to manage risks. The results showed a general increase in the frequency of extreme events, accompanied by floods of higher magnitude. Design life of structures for low risks and medium risks catchments showed magnitudes in the range of 453.03 mm to 1495.48 mm for Log-Pearson Type III and 454.39 mm to 1370.16 mm for Gumbel’s. -

Kruger National Park River Research: a History of Conservation and the ‘Reserve’ Legislation in South Africa (1988-2000)
Kruger National Park river research: A history of conservation and the ‘reserve’ legislation in South Africa (1988-2000) L. van Vuuren 23348674 Dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Magister Artium in History at the School of Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof J.W.N. Tempelhoff May 2017 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the degree of Masters of Arts in the subject group History, School of Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle Faculty, North-West University. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university. L. van Vuuren May 2017 i ABSTRACT Like arteries in a human body, rivers not only transport water and life-giving nutrients to the landscape they feed, they are also shaped and characterised by the catchments which they drain.1 The river habitat and resultant biodiversity is a result of several physical (or abiotic) processes, of which flow is considered the most important. Flows of various quantities and quality are required to flush away sediments, transport nutrients, and kick- start life processes in the freshwater ecosystem. South Africa’s river systems are characterised by particularly variable flow regimes – a result of the country’s fluctuating climate regime, which varies considerably between wet and dry seasons. When these flows are disrupted or diminished through, for example, direct water abstraction or the construction of a weir or dam, it can have severe consequences on the ecological process which depend on these flows. -

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Makhado is in perfect harmony with its spectacular surroundings. Situated at the foot of the densely forested Soutpansberg Mountain Range, near the Zimbabwean, Botswana and Mozambique border and the Kruger National Park, in a highly fertile, rapidly growing agricultural area. Makhado and the Soutpansberg Region have become one of the Northern Provinces premier business, industrial and tourist destinations. Sub- tropical fruits such as litchis, bananas; mangos, avocados, nuts, etc. are grown in the nearby Levubu basin and are available in abundance. Other products include tea, coffee, cattle and extensive game farming. Makhado is ideally situated 100km from the Zimbabwean border as well as from Pietersburg (Polokwane) on the N1-national Route. It also forms part of the Maputo Sub-corridor and will in future be an important center in this regard as the road link to Maputo branch off to the east 30km south of Makhado. True to its trade mark “Gateway to Other African States” Makhado has become an established trading center for Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Excellent rail, road and air links with the rest of Africa, all South African cities and ports, make it an automatic choice for developers and business initiatives. -
