This is creating a need to evaluate estuary and coastal resources and to identify sensitive areas where careful planning and management must take place.

    Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa Using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data Pilot Study – Catchment Management Area 15 by D van Bladeren, P K Zawada and D Mahlangu SRK Consulting & Council for Geoscience Report to the Water Research Commission on the project “Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data” WRC Report No 1260/1/07 ISBN 078-1-77005-537-7 March 2007 DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION During the past 10 years South Africa has experienced several devastating flood events that highlighted the need for more accurate and reasonable flood estimation. The most notable events were those of 1995/96 in KwaZulu-Natal and north eastern areas, the November 1996 floods in the Southern Cape Region, the floods of February to March 2000 in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape provinces and the recent floods in March 2003 in Montagu in the Western Cape. These events emphasized the need for a standard approach to estimate flood probabilities before developments are initiated or existing developments evaluated for flood hazards. The flood peak magnitudes and probabilities of occurrence or return period required for flood lines are often overlooked, ignored or dealt with in a casual way with devastating effects. The National Disaster and new Water Act and the rapid rate at which developments are being planned will require the near mass production of flood peak probabilities across the country that should be consistent, realistic and reliable.

  • The Current Status of Land Rights in the Transkeian Territories of South Africa
    The Current Status of Land Rights in the Transkeian Territories of South Africa Chris WILLIAMS-WYNN, South Africa Key words: Communal land, tenure security, de facto land rights, land administration. SUMMARY There is very little formal documented record of land occupation or land rights in the communal areas of the Republic of South Africa. As a result, members of traditional communities who live in the communal areas create their own informal, yet recognisable, exclusivity and right of use through the erection of fences and hedges around their homesteads. Previous research undertaken by this author concluded that the majority of members of traditional communities in South Africa want documented proof that links them (as individuals) to the land that they were born to share. Some attempts were made historically to give rights to land in areas that were part of what was then known as the Transkeian Territories. General plans of quitrent erven were surveyed by government surveyors and approved by the Surveyor-General and formal quitrent title deeds were registered in the Deeds Registry Offices. However, as the years progressed, government officials resettled many of the holders of quitrent titles into villages. Others moved off their land to find employment. “Permissions to occupy” were issued to new occupants by a resident magistrate and traditional authorities allocated sites to their subjects. Without any consideration of these documented land rights, the state forcibly removed people from outside the communal area and relocated them on the communal land. The state also constructed schools, hospitals, dams, nature reserves and roads, often without consideration of the documented records of the indigenous people.

We can never forget our leaders who fiercely fought for the freedom we are enjoying today. Amongst the many that we hold in high esteem is Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu, the two great giants of our struggle. Following the tradition of the ideals of these stalwarts and other iconic leaders of our movement, we thank President Ramaphosa for his inspiring leadership in encouraging South African’s to cast their vote in the 6th National and Provincial Elections. During the official announcement of the Election Results, President Ramaphosa alluded to the fact that the people of South Africa are custodians of freedom and democracy.

  • Dwesac State of Mangroves

The distribution and state of mangroves along the coast of Transkei, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa J.B. Adams*, B.M. Colloty and G.C. Bate Department of Botany, University of Port Elizabeth. P.O. Box 1600, Port Elizabeth 6000, South Africa; *Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +2741 5042429; fax: +2741 5832317) Received 9 September 2002; accepted in revised form 27 October 2003 Key words: Conservation, Cover, Density, Mangrove composition, Species, Threats, Utilization Abstract The mangrove communities along the coastline of the former Transkei, now part of the Eastern Cape Province, have not been looked at in detail since Ward and Steinke’s survey in 1982. Mangroves previously occurred in 17 estuaries but were now found in only 14 of the 76 estuaries visited, with a complete loss of mangroves evident in the Mnyameni, Mzimvubu and Bulungula estuaries amounting to 7.5 ha. Total mangrove loss amounted to 17.6 ha which represents a 6.5% loss over 17 years or 1.04 ha per annum. Tree cover had increased by 16.15 ha in eight other estuaries. This increase could be attributed to the inaccessibility of mangrove stands or to protection afforded by provincial nature reserves and hotel resorts. No new mangrove stands were recorded, although Steinke (pers. comm.) has recently recorded mangroves along the north bank of the Kei River. There has been little change in mangrove species composition in the different estuaries over the past 17 years.

The surface is a coastal plain rising from near sea-level to 916 m at the north-west corner and dissected by a number of rivers, chief of which are the Kei and the Buffalo. The geological formations range in age from Beaufort Series to Recent but most of the area consists of Beaufort Series invaded by Karoo dolerite. Most interesting is the recognition of the Middle Beaufort Stage at Kidd's Beach, Kwelera River, Qolora River and near Stutterheim as a characteris­ tic sandstone sequence 900 m thick.
