  • 40 000 Years in the Greater Eastern Cape, South Africa
    Late Quaternary environmental phases in the Eastern Cape and adjacent Plettenberg Bay-Knysna region and Little Karoo, South Africa Colin A. Lewis Department of Geography, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa Tel: +27 46 6222416, Fax: +27 46 6361199 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Four major climato-environmental phases have been identified in the Eastern Cape, Plettenberg Bay-Knysna region and Little Karoo between somewhat before ~ 40 000 cal. a BP and the present: the Birnam Interstadial from before 40 000 cal. a BP until ~ 24 000 cal. a BP; the Bottelnek Stadial (apparently equating with the Last Glacial Maximum) from ~24 000 cal. a BP until before ~ 18 350 cal. a BP; the Aliwal North (apparently equating with the Late Glacial) from before ~ 18 350 cal. a BP until ~ 11 000 cal. a BP; the Dinorben (apparently equating with the Holocene) from ~ 11 000 cal. a BP until the present. The evidence for, and the characteristics of, these phases is briefly described. Key words Palaeoclimate. Southern Africa. Late Quaternary. Last Glacial Maximum. Late Glacial. Holocene. 1. Introduction 1.1. Purpose of this paper and use of proxy data The purpose of this paper is to summarise the evidence for, and describe the characteristics of, the major climato-environmental phases that have occurred in the Eastern Cape and adjacent Plettenberg Bay-Knysna region and Little Karoo during the last ~ 40 000 a (Fig. 1). The age of these phases has been established mainly by radiocarbon dating. Events predating ~ 40 000 cal. a BP are effectively beyond the range of radiocarbon dating and are not considered in this paper.

Scatec Solar works along three principle areas for all employees to focus on; delivering competitive renewable energy, contributing to local value creation and being a trusted business partner. Scatec Solar is committed to value creation and economic development in the communities close to the solar plants. Scatec Solar has identified the need for enterprise development in the above-mentioned towns. It has also identified the small market, coupled with low overall skill levels, as a major inhibitor to the growth of the economy in the towns mentioned. This is a vicious cycle that Scatec Solar aims to address through the integration of a broad-based economic development strategy spanning a 20-year period. One of the tenets of the strategy is a focus on youth development and sustainable enterprise development through the sciences and amongst the youth population. It is against this backdrop that Scatec Solar is seeking to appoint a service provider that can manage the formulation of Environment and Science Clubs. It is expected that this will be a 12-24-month contract. THE STRATEGY: Outlined below is the core strategy that Scatec Solar is following

  • Rehabilitation of National Route R61 (Section 3, Km 24.2 to Km 75) Between Cradock and Tarkastad, Eastern Cape
    PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE STUDY: COMBINED DESKTOP AND FIELD-BASED ASSESSMENT Rehabilitation of National Route R61 (Section 3, km 24.2 to km 75) between Cradock and Tarkastad, Eastern Cape John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] February 2013 1. SUMMARY The South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) is proposing to rehabilitate Section 3 of the National Route R61 (km 24.2 to km 75) between Cradock and Tarkastad, Eastern Cape. The project involves widening of the roadway and of all stormwater structures along the route. Road material is to be sourced from five new or existing borrow pits and one hard rock quarry. A Phase 1 palaeontological heritage assessment for the road project has been commissioned by Arcus GIBB (Pty) Ltd in accordance with the requirements of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999). Section 3 of the R61 traverses the outcrop area of continental sedimentary rocks of the Upper Beaufort Group (Tarkastad Subgroup, Karoo Supergroup) of Early to Middle Triassic age. These are cut and baked by numerous dolerite intrusions of the Karoo Dolerite Suite of Early Jurassic age. Towards Cradock (Graaff-Reinet and Middelburg 1: 250 000 sheet areas) the sedimentary bedrocks belong to the sandstone-dominated Katberg Formation that was deposited in arid braided fluvial settings following the catastrophic end-Permian mass extinction event. Further east towards Tarkastad (Queenstown and King William’s Town 1: 250 000 sheet areas) the sedimentary bedrocks are assigned to the slightly younger Burgersdorp Formation comprising recessive-weathering reddish mudrocks and braided river channel sandstones.

  • An Ethnographic Study in Barkly East
    Land as a Site of Remembrance: An Ethnographic Study in Barkly East By Karen Nortje Supervisor: Dr. R. Ebr.- Vally A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS University of the Witwatersrand Department of Social Anthropology 2006 1 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the ways in which people in Barkly East, a small town in the Eastern Cape, attribute feelings of belonging to the land they own and work. In a country such as South Africa, where the contestation of land is prominent and so integral to the political and social discourse, questions related to the idea of belonging are necessary and important. Significant questions addressed by this thesis are: Who belongs and why do they feel they belong? More importantly, the question of who does not belong, is addressed. In Barkly East a tug of war exists between groups and individuals who want matters to remain constant and those who need the status quo to change. What stands out, moreover, in this community, is its duality on many levels of society, which is played out both consciously and unconsciously. This duality is also manifested through social, racial and economic relations, and is supported by an unequal access to land. This thesis identifies three main elements which contribute to the creation of narratives of belonging in Barkly East. Firstly, history and the perception of history create strong links between personal and communal identity, which in turn reinforces and legitimises claims of belonging. Secondly, hierarchy in terms of gender and race plays an important part in this narration, as some residents are more empowered in this process due to either their gender or race.

  • A Regional Analysis of Agricultural Price Risk in South Africa
    Agrekon, Vol 33, No 3 (September 1994) Van Schalkwyk and Groenewald A REGIONAL ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL PRICE RISK IN SOUTH AFRICA HD van Schalkwyk and JA Groenewald Lecturer and Professor, Department ofAgricultural Economics, Extension and Rural Development, University ofPretoria, Pretoria Regional output/input price differentials and variations were calculated to evaluate price risk in South Africa. It was found that price unstable regions are not necessarily also risky regions as regions with higher output/input price ratios can handle higher price variations better. The average value of the price index for the top ten regions is over 3 times larger than the average for the ten lowest regions. The higher the prices of inputs relative to output prices (the lower the price ratio), the smaller their application to each hectare of land, and the lower the land productivity. The regional prices appears to be a function of the interaction between differential natural and economic factors in different regions. 'n Streeksanalise van landbou prysrisiko in Suid-Afrika Regionale uitset/inset prysverskille en variasies is bereken om prys risiko in Suid-Afrika te evalueer. Daar is gevind dat prys onstabiele streke the noodwendig ook hoe risiko streke is nie, want streke met hoer uitset/inset prys verhoudings kan hoer prys variasies beter verwerk. Die gemiddelde waarde van die prys indeks vir die tien top streke is nicer as 3 keer groter as die gemiddeld vir die tien laagste streke. Hoe hoer die pryse van insette relatief tot uiset pryse(hoe lac- die prys verhouding), hoe minder is hulle aanwending per hektaar, en hoe laer die grond produktiwiteit.

ZooKeys 936: 1–24. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.936.38587 Abstract This study investigates genetic diversity in three species of Ephemeroptera, one eurytopic and therefore widespread (Afroptilum sudafricanum) and two stenotopic and thus endemic (Demoreptus natalensis and Demoreptus capensis) species, all of which co-occur in the southern Great Escarpment, South Africa. Mi- tochondrial DNA was analysed to compare the genetic diversity between the habitat generalist and the two habitat specialists. Afroptilum sudafricanum showed no indication of population genetic structure due to geographic location, while both Demoreptus species revealed clear genetic differentiation between geo- graphic localities and catchments, evident from phylogenetic analyses and high FST values from AMOVA.
