  • Sedibeng District Municipality Annual Report 2005-2006
    Sedibeng District Municipality Annual Report 2005-2006 Chapter 1 1.1 Foreword - Executive Mayor 1.2 Foreword - Municipal Manager Municipal elections were held in March 2006 during the year under review. Mayor Hlongwane was re-elected and there were certain changes in the political leadership. The elections led thereto that the mandate for the new term of office had to be attended to and included in the Integrated Development Plan to deliver on the mandate of the ruling party until 2014. The year under review was also characterized by significant institutional challenges, as the Municipal Manager and Chief Financial Officer were suspended in September 2005 and a significant number of senior managers were acting. Notwithstanding the abovementioned problems, the people acting as Executive Managers did everything within their powers to render an effective and efficient service to Sedibeng District Municipality’s stakeholders as can be seen from the reports that follow. The 2004/5 Annual Report, IDP and budgets were considered and approved timeously. Service delivery continued in respect of health care, emergency medical services, vehicle registration and licensing, disaster management, tourism promotion, local economic development, management of fresh produce market, management of heritage facilities Some of the highlights of the year included: Installation of CCTV cameras in Vereeniging CBD and Sebokeng; Hosting of agricultural summit in December 2005; Development of permanent Sharpeville Exhibition; Rollout of Novell software to improve Information Technology Services; and. Actions to resolve critical problems of air and water pollution through an intergovernmental action committee. We were privileged on 16th October 2005 to host the President at a Presidential Imbizo.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 9, No 2, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) THE NEXUS OF FOOD AND HOUSING INSECURITY IN SOUTH AFRICA: THE CASE OF BOPHELONG AND SHARPEVILLE TOWNSHIPS Steven Henry Dunga North West University, South Africa [email protected] WCJ Grobler, North West University, South Africa [email protected] Abstract Considered a human right, housing and food security can be viewed as basic to what defines an individual’s well-being and is enshrined in the South African Constitution. In any country, affordable housing and food security are central to development to ensure an adequate healthy lifestyle. What makes the link between housing and food security important is that in a household with inadequate resources, housing and food security can be in a competing relationship and may even involve a trade-off between each other. Furthermore, food insecurity and housing insecurity are important components in poverty reduction policies. In this study, a random sample of 600 households was taken based on a quantitative research method. Two low income neighbourhoods were selected in the Emfuleni Municipal area in Southern Gauteng, South Africa. The relationship between food insecurity and housing insecurity was analysed using different statistical techniques. To measure food insecurity the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) developed by the African Food Security Urban Network (AFSUN) was used, while a housing security measurement scale was developed. The research found that a trade-off exists between housing and food security and, in many cases, food insecurity and housing insecurity exist at the same time.

  • Sebokeng Wellness Centre to the Sebokeng Community and the Gauteng Department of Health
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release 1 November 2013 ArcelorMittal South Africa donates R13m Sebokeng Wellness Centre to the Sebokeng Community and the Gauteng Department of Health ArcelorMittal South Africa, Africa’s largest steel producer is pleased to officially handover a R13 million state-of-the-art Reamohetse Wellness Centre situated at the Sebokeng Hospital precinct to the MEC for Health, Mr Hope Papo, the hospital’s management and the community on the 1st of November 2013. The project is a partnership between the ArcelorMittal South Africa Foundation and the Gauteng Department of Health. With the capacity to treat approximately 279 patients daily, 1395 patients weekly, 5580 patients monthly and 66960 per annum, the wellness centre will address the lack of adequate healthcare facilities for the disadvantaged communities residing in the Vaal Triangle. The MEC for Health, Mr Hope Papo said that the wellness centre will also fulfill a significant role in meeting the growing demand for healthcare in South Africa due to an increasing population and significant burden of disease due to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB). It will also fulfil a pivotal role in meeting the South African National Aids Council (SANAC) mandate to have three million people receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment by 2015. “ According to statistics on the UNAIDS website 6.1 million South Africa citizens are living with HIV/Aids and an increasing number of people are becoming infected with drug-resistant TB strains. We are in need of more healthcare institutions such as the wellness centre to treat, maintain, educate and make those who are infected with the diseases lives as comfortable as possible, “says MEC for Health, Mr Hope Papo.

  • The Vaal River Inquiry Provisional Report
    Final Report of the Gauteng Provincial Inquiry Into the Sewage Problem of the Vaal River 17 February 2021 The Vaal Report Executive Summary The South African Human Rights Commission (‘the Commission’) had been alerted to online and print media reports, published during July and August 2018, reporting that raw sewage, from the Emfuleni Local Municipality (‘the Municipality’)’s Rietspruit Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vanderbijlpark, the Leewkuil Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vereeniging and other areas within the Municipality, had for weeks and months been leaking into and polluting the Vaal River and the Rietspruit. In addition to the raw sewage polluting major and essential bodies of water, the media reports stated, amongst other things, that: the main sewers in Vanderbijlpark were blocked and that raw sewerage was flowing into people’s yards and properties. In September 2018, in order to test the veracity of the media reports, the Commission’s Gauteng Provincial Office conducted an inspection-in-loco at certain sites within the Emfuleni Municipality, and observed: raw sewage flowing in a small stream that cut across the Emfuleni Golf Estate; two burst sewerage pipes on the banks of the Rietspruit that runs through the Emfuleni Municipal area; defective bio-filters at the Rietspruit Waste Water Treatment Works; a clogged sewerage manhole at the Sharpeville Cemetery and children swimming in, and consuming, polluted waters in the area of a school. Having established a prima facie violation of human rights in the Emfuleni Municipality, regarding the flowing of raw, untreated sewage flowing in the streets, homes, graveyards and also flowing into the Vaal River, the Dam, the Barrage and the Rietspruit (referred to collectively as ‘the Vaal’), and acting within its legislative mandate, the Commission established an Inquiry.
