  • Report Ladybrand Maseru N8 Enviro 2013
    3 JUNE 2013 FIRST PHASE ARCHAEOLOGICAL & HERITAGE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED REALIGNMENT OF THE N8 NATIONAL ROAD BETWEEN THE R26/N8 INTERSECTION & MASERU BRIDGE BORDER POST, LADYBRAND, FREE STATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The N8 national road provides a vital link between Lesotho and South Africa. To improve the road connection, the South African National Road Agency LTD, is planning the realignment of a section of the N8 Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge Border Post. The realignment will start from the existing N8/R26 intersection and will follow the S836 gravel road to tie in along the N8 between Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge. The length of the realignment is approximately 13 kilometres. The whole region is part of intensive agricultural land, which has been cultivated for decades. Scars left by road building are also visible. No archaeological, cultural or any historical remains were found along the route. It is clear that the new developments will have no impact on any cultural heritage and historical remains in the area. Further planning of the proposed project may continue, and no mitigation measures will be needed. INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION Enviroworks Environmental Consultants from Bloemfontein had been commissioned by the National Roads Agency to compile the Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed developments. 2 A list of the names and particulars of effected farm owners is enclosed herewith (See ANNEXURE 1). Scope and Limitations SANRAL is planning the realignment of a section of the N8 between the N8/R26 intersection near Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge Border Post. The relocation of the road will start from the existing N8/R26 intersection and will follow the S836 gravel road to link-up with the N8 between Ladybrand and the Maseru Bridge.

  • Corruption in the Prison Context
    CORRUPTION IN THE PRISON CONTEXT by L M Muntingh 2006 CORRUPTION IN THE PRISON CONTEXT by L M Muntingh 1. Introduction The establishment of the Jali Commission of Inquiry into prison corruption and maladministration (Jali Commission) 1 gave a clear indication at last that government would no longer ignore the continued allegations and findings that something was fundamentally wrong in the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). As early as 2 September 1996, the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services (PPCCS) and its counterpart on Health signed a joint resolution requesting “ an immediate independent national investigation into corruption ”. The Committees were extremely concerned about allegations emanating from the Victor Verster (now Drakenstein), Pollsmoor, and Johannesburg Prisons and asked the relevant Area and Regional Commissioners as well as the National Commissioner to appear before them to explain what was being done about the situation. 2 The 1998 Report of the Auditor General on the DCS financial statements also raised serious questions about issues that did not necessarily indicate corrupt practices, but undoubtedly contributed to an environment that would facilitate such practices. 3 A further report by the Auditor General investigating alleged irregularities among senior officials in the DCS was released in 1999 4. Late in 1999, the Minister of Public Service and Administration, in consultation with the Minister of Correctional Services, instructed that a management audit of the DCS be carried out, the findings of which were presented to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services (PPCCS) on 14 March 2000. 5 The findings were so damning that it was 1 The Commission was duly constituted by the order of the President in terms of Proclamation No.

    The development and expansion of urban theory has drawn upon the experiences of a handful of global or world cities in the developed north. Conversely, cities of the south have been interpreted and theorised through the lens of development theory. Seldom, if ever, are these two different conceptual realms seen as mutually constituted theorised within the same discursive realm, aiding a more complete understanding of how cities function and change. A similar observation can be made about how our understanding of cities in the developing south have evolved. Large cities in more influential developing countries are nearly always the empirical base from which our understanding of cities in the south takes place. The collection of essays in this book is set against the backdrop of calls for a more inclusive theorisation and understanding of cities, that transcend the dichotomous urban narrative which characterises current academic and policy engagements with cities. Drawing on the experiences of a secondary city in South Africa - Bloemfontein - this collection of essays argues that the realities of un-remarked upon, ordinary cities both challenge and reinforce a number of debates in urban theory and development theory.

  • The Role of Sustainable Planning in Order to Accommodate Informal Brickyards in the Integrated Development Plan of the Mangaung Municipality
    G.M. Steenkamp & J.J. Steÿn, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 1, No. 4 (2006) 443–450 TO CONTROL OR NOT TO CONTROL: THE ROLE OF SUSTAINABLE PLANNING IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE INFORMAL BRICKYARDS IN THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE MANGAUNG MUNICIPALITY G.M. STEENKAMP & J.J. STEŸN Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. ABSTRACT During 1994 and 1999, the Bloemfontein Municipality amalgamated with five other municipalities to form the Mangaung Municipality. The Mangaung Municipality now has a population of approximately 740,000 and covers an area of 6,363 km2. Some areas are totally urban; while in others, people live in informal settlements. The unemployment rate is 35%, but in some areas it has risen to as high as 48%. Poor people in the city cannot afford to buy burnt bricks from the major suppliers of bricks. Therefore, informal brickyards were established all over the areas where clay and/or water were available. These brickyards are now producing good homemade burnt bricks and are creating jobs in a sea of unemployment. However, the problem is that from a planning and sustainability viewpoint, all is not well.Although the location of the brickyards has brought about a saving in costs related to the transportation of bricks from the formal brickyards, of which the nearest is 300 km away, the coal- burning activities of the informal brickyards create air pollution. Furthermore, no prior environmental impact studies were carried out before deciding on the location of the brickyards. Most of them have been established haphazardly in any available spot.
