Haigh* the erosion hotspots of the 2011 erosion season were relatively low (significant wave heights were between AFFILIATIONS: 2 m and 4.5 m) but ot long duration. Although swell height was important, swell-propagation direction and 'School of Geological Sciences, particularly swell duration played a dominant role in driving the 2011 erosion event. Two erosion hotspot types University of KwaZulu-Natal, were noted: sandy beaches underlain by shallow bedrock and thick sandy beaches. The former are triggered Durban, South Africa by high swells (as in March 2007) and austral winter erosion events (such as in 2006, 2007 and 2011). ^Oceanography Department, University of Cape Town, Cape The latter become evident later in the austral winter erosion cycle. Both types were associated with subtidal Town, South Africa shore-normal channels seaward of megacusps, themselves linked to megarip current heads. This 2011 ^Ethekwini Municipality, Durban, coastal erosion event occurred during a year in which the lunar perigee sub-harmonic cycle (a ±4.4-year South Africa cycle) peaked, a pattern which appears to have recurred on the KwaZulu-Natal coast.

  • Umzumbe Housing Sector Plan Final Report
    Umzumbe Municipality Housing Sector Plan 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Planning for Housing Development has hitherto involved project identification and listing of projects in Municipal Integrated Development Plans and submission of project specific business plans to the Department of Housing (DOH). This approach to planning for housing development did not take into consideration a number of critical issues that have a direct bearing to housing implementation and the type of settlements that were being created. Amongst others, funding applications and subsequent approvals were made prior to the resolution of land/legal issues, indefinitely delaying projects. Second, the extent to which settlements had access to social services, that is, educational, health and police services amongst others was rarely considered. Third, the institutional capacity of municipalities to both plan and implement housing projects was not considered. Thus, the Housing Sector Plan is formulated to provide a comprehensive 5 year plan for housing development for the Umzumbe Municipality. This Housing Sector Plan is prepared according to guidelines provided by the Provincial Department of Housing. 1.2 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK Section 26 (2) of the Constitution, Act 108 of 1996 confers the right to housing and prescribes that the state must take reasonable legislative and other measures within its available resources to achieve the progressive realization of this right. The Housing Act No. 107 of 1997 was enacted to provide a legislative framework to effect the right to housing. The primary aim of government housing development is to contribute towards the alleviation of asset poverty. In the New Human Settlement Plan government clearly articulates its intention to support the development of sustainable human settlements and the development of housing assets.
