INTERNET ARTICLE Masilonyana water woes addressed 22 June 2017 The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) together with Masilonyana Local Municipality on Tuesday, 20 June 2017, unveiled the the Brandfort/ Majwemasweu Bulk Water Project to the media as part of the post budget vote activities aimed at providing progress on the water provision in south Africa. The project came as a result of Masilonyana LM experiencing challenges in supplying sufficient quantities of water to its inhabitants and as a result residents protesting for water. The over R1 million project entailed the construction of raw water pipeline, six pump stations with one pump per station and a standby pump as well as the refurbishment of the entire existing pump station for Theunissen, Brandfort and Winburg in the hope of addressing the water woes of residents. As part of the media tour, media houses were briefed on the project as well as the processes and challenges that were encountered in ensuring the project is completed. The residents of Brandfort and Theunissen will enjoy the fruits of raw water pipeline, clean and quality water after a long wait. Ms Marietta Visser a resident of Brandfort, when asked about the project said it was a long wait however, the community is relieved that at the end, their water woes are over, as a result of the Department of Water and Sanitation and Masilonyana Local Municipality for working together in assisting the community. Mr Ntjwabule the Municipality Spokesperson with a sense of relief said, that he is happy and will be enjoying his sleep from now on. The event was a success and we continue to improve service delivery. Kido Thoabala . .

Providing Education to Enhance Wildlife Conservation in South Africa
Providing Education to Enhance Wildlife Conservation in South Africa Through the First Wildlife School for Game Ranchers - a Grassroots Effort by Government Authorized Conservationists David L. Bergman, USDA APHIS, Wildlife Services, Phoenix, AZ Nico Avenant, National Museum and University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, Free State Province, South Africa Francoais Schutte, Mbogo Wildlife Facilities, Theunissen, Free State Province, South Africa Michael J. Bodenchuk, USDA APHIS, Wildlife Services, San Antonio, TX ABSTRACT: The establishment of the game ranching industry in South Africa has resulted in the conversion of 20 million hectares of marginal agricultural land to an economically viable and conservation oriented industry. The single biggest driving factor in the growth of the game ranching industry in South Africa was the promulgation of the Game Theft Act 105 of 1991 which conferred private ownership of game. Due to the Act, wildlife became economically viable and were managed according to the creation of this new market. The growth in game animals has reached its highest point since 1850 with over 20 million animals. In 1992, South Africa signed the International Convention on Biodiversity whereby the country committed itself to a goal of 12% of the country would be preserved for wildlife biodiversity by 2021. By 2016, the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) had determined that South Africa’s terrestrial protected area fell far short of the 12% agreed upon by the country. The DEA had determined that South Africa would have to depend on the assistance and conservation of the game ranching industry in order to meet the 12% target. In 2017 it was realized that a wildlife school for game farmers was needed, to address utilizing natural resources in a manner that supports sustainability and improves economic prospects while upholding conservation ethics.

Remembrance African Activist Archive Project Documenting
Remembrance African Activist Archive Project Documenting Apartheid: 30 Years of Filming South Africa By Peter Davis During April 2004 and beyond we were constantly reminded that this is the tenth anniversary of the first democratic all-race elections in South Africa. I was shocked by the realization that last year also marked the thirtieth anniversary of my first visit to that country, of my first experience with apartheid. After that first trip in 1974 as part of an African tour I was doing for the American NGO, Care, I was to devote a large part of my working life to the anti-apartheid struggle. For those of us who were involved in that struggle, it was such an everyday part of life that it is hard to grasp that there is already a generation out there that does not know the meaning of “apartheid”. The struggle against apartheid took many forms, from protests, strikes, sabotage, defiance, guerrilla warfare within the country to boycotts, bans, United Nations resolutions, rock concerts, and arms and money smuggling and espionage outside. Apartheid, which was institutionalized by the coming to power of the white National Party in 1948, lasted as long as it did, against the condemnation of the world, because it had powerful friends. Chief among these were the United States, which saw a South Africa governed by whites as a useful ally in the Cold War; a Britain whose ruling class had close links with South African capital; and German, French, Israeli and Taiwanese commercial interests that extended even to sales of weapons and nuclear technology to the apartheid regime.

Free State Province Biodiversity Plan: Technical Report v1.0. Free State Department of Economic, Small Business Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs. Internal Report. 1. Summary $what is a biodiversity plan This report contains the technical information that details the rationale and methods followed to produce the first terrestrial biodiversity plan for the Free State Province. Because of low confidence in the aquatic data that were available at the time of developing the plan, the aquatic component is not included herein and will be released as a separate report. The biodiversity plan was developed with cognisance of the requirements for the determination of bioregions and the preparation and publication of bioregional plans (DEAT, 2009). To this extent the two main products of this process are: • A map indicating the different terrestrial categories (Protected, Critical Biodiversity Areas, Ecological Support Areas, Other and Degraded) • Land-use guidelines for the above mentioned categories This plan represents the first attempt at collating all terrestrial biodiversity and ecological data into a single system from which it can be interrogated and assessed.
