BOIPATONG by Dave Steward, Chairman of the FW De Klerk Foundation
BOIPATONG By Dave Steward, Chairman of the FW de Klerk Foundation On 17 June the EFF issued a statement to mark the 28th anniversary of the Boipatong massacre. It stated that the massacre had been orchestrated by “an Apartheid government led by FW de Klerk” who had “funded and supported the massacre in order to undermine negotiations…” I remember Boipatong. I was at the time head of the South African Communication Service (SACS). On 18 June I woke to the news of the awful event in which 45 residents of the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Boipatong had been brutally murdered. Boipatong was egregious ‐ even by the violent standards of the times. Women and babies were among the victims who were mercilessly hacked and stabbed to death. President De Klerk decided that he would visit the community to express his condolences to bereaved families the following Saturday ‐ 20 June. I was disturbed to hear an announcement of the visit on the SABC on Friday evening ‐ because it was not our practice to provide advance notice of visits to potentially sensitive areas. Our party assembled under the eggshell blue skies of a highveld winter at a police depot about 5 kms from Boipatong. SACS had made arrangements to transport members of the local and international media who wished to cover the event. We all climbed into an ancient bus and followed the presidential motorcade on its route to Boipatong. As we approached the township from the north‐ west, it became clear that my concerns about the early announcement of the visit were ominously warranted. -

The Development of Appropriate Procedures Towards and After Closure of Underground Gold Mines from a Water Management Perspective
THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES TOWARDS AND AFTER CLOSURE OF UNDERGROUND GOLD MINES FROM A WATER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE Report to the WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION by W Pulles, S Banister and M van Biljon on hehalf of PULLES HOWARD & DE LANGE INCORPORATED RISON GROUNDWATER CONSULTING cc WRC Report No: 1215/1/05 ISBN No: 1-77005-237-2 MARCH 2005 Disclaimer This report emanates from a project financed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and is approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC or the members of the project steering committee, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A need was identified by the Water Research Commission to undertake research into the issue of mine closure planning from a water management perspective in the South African gold mining industry. Initially a project was conceived that was based on undertaking a more detailed study on the development of a coherent and integrated closure planning process for a case study region – the Klerksdorp-Orkney-Stilfontein-Hartebeestfontein (KOSH) area. This approach was eventually abandoned due to the unwillingness of the gold mines in this region (other than Anglogold) to participate in the project. The project methodology was subsequently modified and approved by the project Steering Committee to rather study the complete South African gold mining industry and develop a closure planning methodology that would have application throughout the industry. In support of such an industry-wide study, an assessment would be undertaken of the current status of closure planning contained within the mine EMPRs. -

The Relevance of the Cerrado's Water
THE RELEVANCE OF THE CERRADO’S WATER RESOURCES TO THE BRAZILIAN DEVELOPMENT Jorge Enoch Furquim Werneck Lima1; Euzebio Medrado da Silva1; Eduardo Cyrino Oliveira-Filho1; Eder de Souza Martins1; Adriana Reatto1; Vinicius Bof Bufon1 1 Embrapa Cerrados, BR 020, km 18, Planaltina, Federal District, Brazil, 70670-305. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) is the second largest Brazilian biome (204 million hectares) and due to its location in the Brazilian Central Plateau it plays an important role in terms of water production and distribution throughout the country. Eight of the twelve Brazilian hydrographic regions receive water from this Biome. It contributes to more than 90% of the discharge of the São Francisco River, 50% of the Paraná River, and 70% of the Tocantins River. Therefore, the Cerrado is a strategic region for the national hydropower sector, being responsible for more than 50% of the Brazilian hydroelectricity production. Furthermore, it has an outstanding relevance in the national agricultural scenery. Despite of the relatively abundance of water in most of the region, water conflicts are beginning to arise in some areas. The objective of this paper is to discuss the economical and ecological relevance of the water resources of the Cerrado. Key-words: Brazilian savanna; water management; water conflicts. INTRODUCTION The Cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome in extension, with about 204 million hectares, occupying 24% of the national territory approximately. Its largest portion is located within the Brazilian Central Plateau which consists of higher altitude areas in the central part of the country. -
Death in Boipatong
DEATH IN BOIPATONG The Dead ofBoipatong More than forty people were massacred at Boipatong on Wednesday 17 June. Men, women and children, and even those in their mother's womb were hack ed to death. Life, which hitherto offered only suffering, was snuffed out by men so low, that they could only attack at the dead of night when the shadows concealed their identity. Even though the evidence is hidden and might never be established there is little doubt about who is guilty. This killing must be laid at the door of the Intelligence Department and their allies in the Inkatha Freedom Party. It is clearly the work of men who are out to destabilize the townships, destroy all movements of opposition and reimpose the state of emergency. Addressing this issue, John Carlin said in The Independent (24 June 1992): In Boipatong, as in the majority of other massacres, the people who actually do the killing are blacks linked to the Inkatha Freedom Party...Those who direct them are whites operating within the intelligence structures of the police and army. The only issue in doubt is how high up does the authority come from? Does it stop at the 'securocrats', the generals and colonels who effectively ran the country during the Eighties? Or does it go right up to F W de Klerk, as Nelson Mandela claims? These questions have not been conclusively answered. The argument that this event was the result of previous shootings in the area is beside the point. The townships and squatter camps are witness to violence and murders week after week. -
Vote 06 : Social Development
Vote 6: Social Development VOTE 6 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Infrastructure to be appropriated by Vote R44 469 000 Responsible MEC MEC for Social Development, Agriculture and Rural Development Administering department Department of Social Development Accounting officer Head of Department 1. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMME Strategic overview The Department of Social Development’s infrastructure programme continues to be underpinned by the principle of providing accessible developmental services to Gauteng communities in need. The 2012/13 financial year was marked by the demerger from the Department of Health and the re-establishment of Social Development as a separate department, which will enable it to provide a unique contribution towards the attainment of the Province’s developmental goals. For the 2013 MTEF term, the department’s infrastructure plans are focussed on providing support to the achievement of Provincial Outcome’s 6 and 7: • Outcome 6: Sustainable human settlements and improved quality of life; and • Outcome 7: Responsive, accountable, efficient and effective local government. The department achieved substantial success with the completion of outstanding elements of the Prioritised Townships Programme and was able to give more attention to the development and implementation of plans for the upgrade and refurbishment of the network of residential childcare facilities and local and regional service offices. Significant acquisitions for the year included the two former Schools of Industry in Lesedi Local Municipality, Heidelberg which are in need of extensive rehabilitation works and upgrading that would enable the accommodation of females and children with special needs/disabilities. A new direction for the programme now requires attention to the needs identified in the rural nodes, the planning for which will be conducted during the 2013/14 financial year to ensure readiness for implementation in the 2014/15 financial year. -
