Characterisation of fractured rock aquifers is important when dealing with groundwater protection and management. Fractures are often good conduits for water and contaminants, leading to high flow velocities and the fast spread of contaminants in these aquifers. A cost effective methodology is required for the characterisation of the role of individual fractures contributing to flow to boreholes in fractured rock aquifers.

  • Tulbagh Renosterveld Project Report
    BP TULBAGH RENOSTERVELD PROJECT Introduction The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is the smallest and richest floral kingdom of the world. In an area of approximately 90 000km² there are over 9 000 plant species found (Goldblatt & Manning 2000). The CFR is recognized as one of the 33 global biodiversity hotspots (Myers, 1990) and has recently received World Heritage Status. In 2002 the Cape Action Plan for the Environment (CAPE) programme identified the lowlands of the CFR as 100% irreplaceable, meaning that to achieve conservation targets all lowland fragments would have to be conserved and no further loss of habitat should be allowed. Renosterveld , an asteraceous shrubland that predominantly occurs in the lowland areas of the CFR, is the most threatened vegetation type in South Africa . Only five percent of this highly fragmented vegetation type still remains (Von Hase et al 2003). Most of these Renosterveld fragments occur on privately owned land making it the least represented vegetation type in the South African Protected Areas network. More importantly, because of the fragmented nature of Renosterveld it has a high proportion of plants that are threatened with extinction. The Custodians of Rare and Endangered Wildflowers (CREW) project, which works with civil society groups in the CFR to update information on threatened plants, has identified the Tulbagh valley as a high priority for conservation action. This is due to the relatively large amount of Renosterveld that remains in the valley and the high amount of plant endemism. The CAPE program has also identified areas in need of fine scale plans and the Tulbagh area falls within one of these: The Upper Breede River planning domain.

  • Chapter Four a Needs Analysis for Health Interventions – Case Study of Kayamandi
    CHAPTER FOUR A NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR HEALTH INTERVENTIONS – CASE STUDY OF KAYAMANDI 4.1 Introduction In the 1980s, the WHO emphasised that health and well-being of individuals are closely connected with social, cultural, physical, economic and other factors inside living areas or towns (Burlington, 2005). Against this background, it can be assumed that individuals living and growing up in extremely impoverished settings should therefore have the greatest need for health interventions that will enhance and strengthen their health and well-being. In regard to the intervention presented in this thesis, and undertaken in a very impoverished community, a needs analysis was outlined beforehand to 1) identify prevalent risks and resources in the specific setting, 2) immure the intervention in its surrounding and 3) adequately adjust the life-orientated modules for its participants. The information for the needs analysis was drawn from regular field trips and field reports, an extensive literature review (e.g. maps, official statistics, published and unpublished articles), and photographic documentation. The methodology for the needs analysis is described in chapter 6. The following section describes the particular case of Kayamandi (translated as ‘pleasant home’) in order to highlight the social, health, security and educational infrastructures in a disadvantaged community6 in South Africa that have resulted from historic, socio-economic, as well as political processes in the country. 4.2 The History and Geographical Development of Kayamandi The town Stellenbosch is located 30 kilometres east of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province. It is the second oldest town (founded in 1679) in South Africa (Dennerlein & Adami, 2004), and historically a centre of Afrikanerdom during Apartheid in which the university played a central role in educating the Apartheid elite.

  • Who Lived in the Stellenbosch Winelands Before 1652?
    WHO LIVED IN THE STELLENBOSCH WINELANDS BEFORE 1652? This short essay describes what is currently known about the archaeology and history of the Stone Age people who lived in the vicinity of Stellenbosch and adjacent Winelands in the Western Cape before European colonisation. When and where did the human story begin? There is abundant archaeological evidence from stone tools, and a few human remains, that Stone Age hunter-gatherer people lived in the Western Cape for about a million years. As yet, there is no evidence in this region for the earliest stone tools and fossil hominin remains that date to between 1 and at least 3 million years ago in the Cradle of Humankind in Gauteng, Limpopo and North-West provinces. It is not clear whether this is a result of a limited ecological range in which the early hominins lived, or of the absence of suitable geological formations for the preservation of bone. What do we mean by the Stone Age? The Stone Age was the time when most of the tools that hunter-gatherer people used were made by striking one stone against another – a hammerstone against a core – so that sharp edges were created on the sides of the core and on the flakes that were detached. Many fine-grained rocks will produce flakes with edges that are sharper than a metal knife, but stone becomes blunt much more quickly than metal. Archaeologists focus on stone tools as the primary source of evidence for the presence of people in the landscape in the past because the tools are almost indestructible and therefore are often all that is left behind after bones, wood, plant remains and shells have disintegrated.

  • Breede River Basin Study. Groundwater Assessment
    DEPARTMENT OF WATER AFFAIRS AND FORESTRY BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT Final MAY 2003 Groundwater Consulting Services P O Box 2597 Rivonia 2128 Tel : +27 11 803 5726 Fax : +27 11 803 5745 e-mail : [email protected] This report is to be referred to in bibliographies as : Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, South Africa. 2003. Groundwater Assessment. Prepared by G Papini of Groundwater Consulting Services as part of the Breede River Basin Study. DWAF Report No. PH 00/00/2502. BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objectives of this study were to assess the significance and distribution of groundwater resources in the Breede River catchment, estimate the amount of abstraction and degree of stress it may be causing and to indicate the scope for further development of groundwater resources. This was achieved by a review of all available literature and obtaining yields and quantities from all significant schemes. The characterisation of important aquifers and assessment of the groundwater balance (recharge versus consumption) allowed for identification of further groundwater potential. The geohydrology of the Breede River catchment is controlled by the occurrence of the rocks of the Table Mountain Group (which form the mountainous areas), the occurrence of high levels of faulting and folding in the syntaxis area of the upper catchment and the variable rainfall, being highest in the mountainous areas in the west. These factors result in a catchment with highest groundwater potential in the west, where recharge, yields and abstraction potential are greatest and the quality is the best. As a result of these factors, the western half of the catchment is also the area with the greatest groundwater use.

It is a newly designated wine district (March 2012) and an exploratory research study was undertaken to determine what the Brand ‘DNA’ of the Wellington Wine District is and then to propose appropriate marketing strategies for the developing wine tourism destination. The research process focussed on two types of wine tourism behaviour, namely festival-goers at the Wellington Wine Harvest Festival and the visitors to selected Wellington Wine Route members’ cellar doors. Surveys were executed by means of interviews and self-administration of structured questionnaires. Results were analysed in terms of two categories: first time visitors (FTV) and repeat visitors (RV).

Finding a new identity for a township club – the case of the Mighty 5 1 Star in Stellenbosch Sylvain Cubizolles* Laboratoire DIMPS, De´partement STAPS, UFR SHE, Universite´ de La Re´union This article analyses how football membership has been transformed in Kayamandi, a township situated on the outskirts of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It focuses on the rationales behind membership in the Mighty 5 Star, a Kayamandi amateur club created in 1972, in order to understand the changing interrelationships between the club and the neighbour- hood. Based on participatory observations, written sources published by the club on the internet, as well as interviews, this article discusses the various membership processes between the club and the players from 1972 to 2011, characterising the social and urban rationales that have structured and organised them, and situating those rationales, whenever possible, in the history of the political and social changes in South Africa since 1972.
