Changes in population figures can mostly be attributed to three broad demographic processes namely, fertility, mortality and migration rates. This chapter provides a concise yet meaningful overview of key demographic variables that will assist with municipal planning and budgeting, namely estimates of population size, a sex ratio analysis, the distribution of population projections within age cohorts, dependency ratios, the number of households and household size compositions as well as an overview of population density per local municipal area. The demographic data provided in this Chapter was sourced from the Department of Social Development who used Stats SA’s 2018 Mid-Year Population Estimates (2002 - 2030) to project population growth for the period 2019 to 2025.

The estimated population growth rate of Stellenbosch is slightly higher than that of the CWD at 1.6 per cent and on par with the Western Cape average annual growth rate of 1.8 per cent over the same period. All Districts: Sex Ratio (SR), 2019 – 2023 Municipality 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Drakenstein 97.7 97.6 97.6 97.5 97.5 Stellenbosch 97.2 97.2 97.2 97.2 97.6 Breede Valley 92.3 91.9 91.5 91.1 91.4 Langeberg 97.2 97.2 97.2 97.2 97.7 Cape Winelands District 97.7 97.6 97.6 97.5 97.7 Western Cape 97.3 97.4 97.4 97.5 97.5 The overall sex ratio (SR) depicts the number of males per 100 females in the population (Moultrie et al., 2013: 9). As per above table, there are more males than females in the Stellenbosch municipal area. The SR for Stellenbosch fluctuates slightly towards 2023 which can be attributed to a wide range of factors such as an increase in female mortality rates and the potential inflow of working males to the municipal area. There are in general less males than females across the various municipal areas of the CWD. 2 2019 Socio-economic Profile: Stellenbosch Municipality Stellenbosch: Age Cohorts, 2019 – 2025 Children Working Age Aged Dependency Year 0 – 14 Years 16 – 65 Years 65+ Ratio 2019 45 105 131 887 9 282 41.2 2022 47 544 140 077 10 647 41.5 2025 49 749 145 910 11 806 42.2 Growth 1.6% 1.7% 4.1% - The above table depicts Stellenbosch’s population composition per age cohorts. These groupings are also expressed as a dependency ratio which in turn indicates who are part of the workforce (Age 15 - 64) and those, who are depending on them (children and senior citizens). A higher dependency ratio implies greater pressure on social systems and the delivery of basic services. Between 2019 and 2025, the largest population growth was recorded in the 65+ aged cohort which grew at an annual average rate of 4.1 per cent. This predicted growth rate increases the dependency ratio towards 2025. HOUSEHOLD SIZES Stellenbosch: Household size, 2019 – 2023 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 3.7 3.6 3.6 3.6 3.6 Household size refers to the number of people per household. Although the number of households in the Stellenbosch area are increasing, the actual size of households is generally on a downward trend from 2019 and will remain steady from 2020 to 2023. Contributing factors to a stagnation in household size growth include, but are not limited to, lower fertility rates, occurrences of divorce, ageing population, etc. 3 2019 Socio-economic Profile: Stellenbosch Municipality POPULATION DENSITY Colour Code Population per km² 0 - 10 11 - 20 21 -30 31 - 40 41 - 50 50+ Amidst rapid urbanisation across the Western Cape, population density figures Witzenberg will aid public sector decision makers to mitigate environmental, individual health and service delivery risks. In 2019, the population density of the Breede Valley Cape Winelands District (CWD) was 43 Stellenbosch persons per square kilometre. In order of Langeberg highest to lowest, the various local municipal areas in the CWD compare as Drakenstein follows: Stellenbosch 224 people/km2 Drakenstein 185 people/km2 Breede Valley 49 people/km2 Langeberg 26 people/km2 Witzenberg 13 people/km2 4 2019 Socio-economic Profile: Stellenbosch Municipality EDUCATION The quality of education is closely correlated with economic development and social cohesion. Dramatically improving our education outcomes is an imperative not just to achieve the economic growth rates that South Africa needs to end poverty and increase inclusion, but also to tackle social ills such as crime and substance abuse. Data source: Western Cape Education Department, 2019 5 2019 Socio-economic Profile: Stellenbosch Municipality LEARNER ENROLMENT Breede Valley Drakenstein Langeberg Stellenbosch Witzenberg 2016 32 558 47 601 17 838 26 085 18 048 2017 32 860 48 208 18 213 26 544 18 070 2018 33 389 49 268 18 374 27 087 18 377 The average annual growth in learner enrolment for the Western Cape across the period 2016 to 2018 is expected to be 2.3 per cent. The highest growth in learners is expected to occur in the Stellenbosch municipal area (1.9 per cent) whilst the lowest growth is estimated to be in the Witzenberg (0.9 per cent). LEARNER-TEACHER RATIO It is commonly assumed that children receive less personalised attention in larger class environments and that high learner-teacher ratios are detrimental to improved educational outcomes. Factors influencing the learner-teacher ratio is the ability of schools to employ more educators when needed and the ability to collect fees. Breede Valley Drakenstein Langeberg Stellenbosch Witzenberg 2016 27.1 27.0 26.3 24.7 26.5 2017 26.8 27.2 27.4 25.1 26.3 2018 26.6 27.0 26.5 24.9 26.6 In 2018, the learner-teacher ratio in Stellenbosch was 24.9, the lowest in the District. The lowest ratio is observed in the Drakenstein area at 24.9, whilst the Western Cape average is 28.8 learners per teacher in 2018. 6 2019 Socio-economic Profile: Stellenbosch Municipality LEARNER RETENTION The learner retention rate refers to the number of students that start Grade 12 as a percentage of the number of students that enrolled in Grade 10 two year prior. The inverse of the learner- retention rate is commonly referred to as the drop-out rate. Learner-retention rates are influenced by multiple social, economic and psychological factors.

The retention rate for the Western Cape was 66.8 per cent in 2018. EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES The increased availability of adequate education facilities such as schools, Further Education and Training (FET) colleges and schools equipped with libraries/media centres could positively affect academic outcomes.

The closure of these schools could have a negative impact on education outcomes given the gradual increase in learner enrolment. 7 2019 Socio-economic Profile: Stellenbosch Municipality NO-FEE SCHOOLS Breede Valley Drakenstein Langeberg Stellenbosch Witzenberg 2016 80.4 67.7 87.3 64.1 84.9 2017 79.3 67.7 87.3 64.1 83.3 2018 79.3 67.2 87.0 64.1 83.0 The proportion of no-fee schools in the Stellenbosch municipal area remained the same at 64.1 from 2016 to 2018.

  • Tulbagh Renosterveld Project Report

    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

    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.

Six days later, two additional commercial chicken properties tested positive for the H5 variant. One is a commercial chicken-layer farm also in Gauteng; the second one is a commercial chicken parent breeder farm in the North West Province. During May, two more outbreaks were reported in the Western Cape and in Gauteng. As a result of these outbreaks, Botswana and Mozambique restricted imports of poultry from South Africa. Notably, one of the three affected facilities is a registered compartment for export. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Background South Africa has experienced multiple Avian Influenza outbreaks in six commercial farms across three provinces during the month of April and May 2021.

  • Who Lived in the Stellenbosch Winelands Before 1652?

    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.

Copyright @ 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis is the Wellington Wine District as a developing South African wine tourism destination. 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).
