    Refurbishment and Upgrading of the Vaal Gamagara Water Supply Scheme

    Refurbishment and Upgrading of the Vaal Gamagara Water Supply Scheme “Sustaining the source and flow of life forever” BACKGROUND The construction of the Vaal Gamagara Water Supply Scheme in the Northern Cape Province was initially completed in 1976. The purpose of the scheme is to supply water from the Vaal River to the arid areas of the Gamagara valley near Postmasburg, and north thereof to the diamond mines at Lime Acres and the iron ore and manganese mines at Beeshoek, Sishen, Mamatwan, Hotazel and Black Rock. Several local authorities (of which Delportshoop, Postmasburg, OIifantshoek, Kathu and Hotazel are the largest) also receive bulk water supply from the scheme. A later addition to the scheme is the Kalahari East Water User Association, which was completed in 1992 to supply domestic and stock water to an area of approximately 1 412 000ha that includes more than 250 farms. The Vaal Gamagara Scheme consists of: • Vaal Gamagara Water Treatment Works near Delportshoop (capacity of 13.27 million m³/annum) • several pump stations • 11 reservoirs • a pipeline of 370km that delivers water to users The pipeline has the capacity to convey and import a maximum of 19 million m³/annum into the area. Water from the Vaal Riv- er (13.27 million m³/annum) is augmented by dewatering facilities at the Kolomela, Beeshoek and Sishen mines. (Dewatering activities are aimed at lowering the ground water table to ensure safe mining conditions.) The scheme was transferred by the Department of Water and Sanitation to Sedibeng Water in 2007. Approximately 22 million m3 of water is currently supplied per annum to domestic consumers, as well as the mining, industrial and agricultural sectors in the area.

VEGETATION Of the 43 ha footprint about 13 ha is transformed (illegal dumping, excavations) ENCOUNTERED or settled. The remainder of the site was in poor condition as a result of illegal dumping windblown waste, urban related activities (trampling in Site 2, 3 & 4) or in just very disturbed. The ephemeral water courses to the southwest of Site 4 were in particular poor condition, being used as a dumping site and as one big toilet. Bushmanland Arid Grassland is not known for its high plant diversity, but the vegetation encountered was in exceptionally poor condition, which is probably the result of urban related activities and continual overgrazing coupled with the recent drought. CONSERVATION According to the Northern Cape CBA maps the proposed site falls within a CBA PRIORITY area. However, there is no alternative on Municipal land that will not impact on AREAS the CBA. The site will not impact on any recognised centre of endemism. CONNECTIVITY The transformation of the site will destroy connectivity on the site, but should not result in a significant impact on the surrounding area, where connectivity is still excellent.

    Promotion of Access to informAtion Act (PAiA) ANNUAL REPORT 2018/2019 i PREFACE The right of access to information has been long recognized in international normative frameworks and has also been provided for in domestic and regional laws. Sections 83 and 84 of the Promotion of Access to Information (PAIA) requires the South African Human Rights Commission (the SAHRC or Commission) to fulfil numerous legislative duties, which includes the tabling of the PAIA annual report with the National Assembly. The report must set out any recommendations made for the ‘development, improvement, modernisation, reform or amendment’ of the PAIA or any other law pertaining to access to information, as well as any recommendations made regarding processes for the electronic disclosure and availability of records. In addition, the report must include a compilation of reports submitted by all public bodies in terms of section 32 of the PAIA. Submission of this public sector compliance report is mandatory for all public bodies in the country. It sets out the number of PAIA requests received by each public body, how many of those requests were granted, denied and transferred; it informs of the number of appeals lodged in terms of PAIA and how many court applications were made. As the analysis contained in this report reveals, compliance levels with the duty to submit such reports remain extremely low. PROMOTION OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION ACT (PAIA) | ANNUAL REPORT 2018/2019 ii FOREWORD The passage of the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA) constitutes a crucial tool for the realisation of the constitutional objectives of transparency and open government.
