This is a milestone and a highly appreciated attempt to save the municipality in costly consultative fees. Improved service delivery remains one of the biggest challenges facing the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality, and thus remains a major priority. The LED strategy is aligned to the prescripts of the National Development Plan and other Provincial, District and Local Municipal Plans to achieve the long-term National Vision of creating sustainable job opportunities, empower local businesses and improve the livelihood of the local communities. The LED Strategy represents the refined municipal vision to provide improved services and enhance tourism development and reflects on the planned actions in responding to the current challenges as the situation dictates. The provision of sustainable services such as excellent roads, sustainable electricity, clean water, adequate waste management remains the municipal top priority as part of promoting the local economic and tourism development. The strategy recommends for the rehabilitation of the existing infrastructure, empower SMMEs and the informal sector as part of job creation through expanded public works and community works programs. The Strategy highlights on the sensitivity of the environment within the Ba-Phalaborwa precinct. The recent pollution of the Letaba and the Oliphants Rivers is a wake-up call for all stakeholders to work together in mitigating potential risks posed by all economic activities within the Municipal area. The risk posed by the advent of malaria should be kept in check in order not to affect the development and promotion of the tourism sector. The 2014 reported malaria is a point of concern and needs to be mitigated through integrated programs. The LED Strategy therefore highlights on the need to provide solutions in the: o Refurbishment of electricity infrastructure; o Provision of clean water o Rehabilitation and maintenance of roads; and o Construction of roads and storm water. o Creation of job opportunities to increase employment. 6 Preface: Municipal Manager This LED Strategy and its suggested

  • 1 CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction
    1 CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction People and things are given names for identification purposes. A name is a title given to a person or a thing. A name is defined by Sebashe (2003:12) as a word or words by which a person, animal, place or a thing is spoken of or referred to. In other words, a name distinguishes a particular thing from others. Names have political, social, economic and religious significance. As far as this study is concerned, the emphasis would be on the political significance of a name. The Black South Africans suffered a significant harm during the apartheid regime. The Europeans dominated in everything which resulted in Blacks losing their identity, culture, values, heritage an tradition. The European domination interfered with the naming patterns of the indigenous people of South Africa. Names of places were virtually Eurocentric. This is evident in town names, for example, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Pietersburg and Potgietersrus. Tables turned when a democratic government was elected in 1994. The affected people started to realize the negative impact of apartheid on numerous things, places names inclusive. The new government started to implement political changes. Some place names are changed to strike a balance between races, new places are named according to what the people want. Place naming starts to shift a distance away from Eurocentric to African names. Towns, streets, sporting facilities, names of settlements, businesses and 2 educational institutions are the most places affected by name changes and new naming patterns. 1.2 Background to the problem The problem of place naming in Africa in general and South Africa in particular started during the colonial period when many European countries scrambled for Africa in the 17th century.

  • Households' Adaptation to Climate Change Hazards in Semi-Arid
    Chapter Households’ Adaptation to Climate Change Hazards in Semi-Arid Region of Mopani, South Africa Musa Yusuf Jimoh, Peter Bikam, Hector Chikoore, James Chakwizira and Emaculate Ingwani Abstract New climate change realities are no longer a doubtful phenomenon, but realities to adapt and live with. Its cogent impacts and implications’ dispositions pervade all sectors and geographic scales, making no sector or geographic area immune, nor any human endeavor spared from the associated adversities. The consequences of this emerging climate order are already manifesting, with narratives written beyond the alterations in temperature and precipitation, particularly in urban areas of semi-arid region of South Africa. The need to better understand and respond to the new climate change realities is particularly acute in this region. Thus, this chapter highlights the concept of adaptation as a fundamental component of managing cli- mate change vulnerability, through identifying and providing insight in respect of some available climate change adaptation models and how these models fit within the premises and programmes of sustainable adaptation in semi-arid region with gaps identification. The efforts of governments within the global context are exam- ined with households’ individual adaptation strategies to climate change hazards in Mopani District. The factors hindering the success of sustainable urban climate change adaptation strategic framework and urban households’ adaptive systems are also subjects of debate and constitute the concluding remarks to the chapter. Keywords: households, adaptation, climate change, semi-arid, South Africa 1. Introduction Adaptation to climate change hazard is attracting growing international atten- tion as confidence in forecasts for climate change is rising [1].

  • The Influence of Socioeconomic Factors on Households' Vulnerability to Climate Change in Semiarid Towns of Mopani, South Afric
    climate Article The Influence of Socioeconomic Factors on Households’ Vulnerability to Climate Change in Semiarid Towns of Mopani, South Africa Musa Yusuf Jimoh 1,2,*, Peter Bikam 1 and Hector Chikoore 3 1 Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Venda, Thohoyandou, Limpopo 0950, South Africa; [email protected] 2 Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Ilorin, Ilorin 240003, Nigeria 3 Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, North-West University, Vanderbijlpark 1900, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-68-072-631 or +234-818-871-9036 Abstract: The changing climate and its current rate, frequency, as well as its life-threatening impacts are undoubtedly abnormal and globally worrisome. Its effects are expected to be severely differ- ent across segments of the society. It is disposed to leaving no facet of human endeavor immune, particularly in vulnerable cities of developing countries where there is dearth of empirical studies. For the context-specific nature of climate change impacts and place-based character of vulnerability, this study explores the influence of socioeconomic attributes on household vulnerability in Mopani District northeast of South Africa to provide basis for targeting, formulating, evaluating, and moni- toring adaptation policies, programs, and projects. The study adopted a multistage random sampling to draw 500 households from six towns in Mopani District, Limpopo Province. Mixed methods approach was used for data collection, while Household Vulnerability Index (HVI) was estimated using principal component analysis and regressed with socioeconomic attributes. The study reveals that climate is changing with high HVI across selected towns.
