  • List of Outstanding Trc Beneficiaries
    List of outstanding tRC benefiCiaRies JustiCe inVites tRC benefiCiaRies to CLaiM tHeiR finanCiaL RePaRations The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development invites individuals, who were declared eligible for reparation during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC), to claim their once-off payment of R30 000. These payments will be eff ected from the President Fund, which was established in accordance with the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act and regulations outlined by the President. According to the regulations the payment of the fi nal reparation is limited to persons who appeared before or made statements to the TRC and were declared eligible for reparations. It is important to note that as this process has been concluded, new applications will not be considered. In instance where the listed benefi ciary is deceased, the rightful next-of-kin are invited to apply for payment. In these cases, benefi ciaries should be aware that their relationship would need to be verifi ed to avoid unlawful payments. This call is part of government’s attempt to implement the approved TRC recommendations relating to the reparations of victims, which includes these once-off payments, medical benefi ts and other forms of social assistance, establishment of a task team to investigate the nearly 500 cases of missing persons and the prevention of future gross human rights violations and promotion of a fi rm human rights culture. In order to eff ectively implement these recommendations, the government established a dedicated TRC Unit in the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development which is intended to expedite the identifi cation and payment of suitable benefi ciaries.

  • Msunduzi Sdf Review Executive Summary
    MSUNDUZI SDF REVIEW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MSUNDUZI SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK REVIEW – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AUGUST 2009 Msunduzi SDF Review-Executive Summary July 2009 Page- 0 - MSUNDUZI SDF REVIEW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PREFACE There can be few tasks as challenging as planning for the future of the Msunduzi Municipality which is the Legislature and Capital of the Province and which forms the core of an emergent future Metropolitan Region inland of the Ethekwini/Durban Metro being the most developed part of KwaZulu-Natal. Over the last 15 years since 1994, a process of transformation and restructuring has commenced with respect to the management and planning of municipalities throughout the Republic. An extensive process was undertaken by all municipalities in South Africa to comply with the provisions of the Municipal Systems Act and in particular the preparation of Integrated Development Plans and its sector plans including that which is represented geographically through the Spatial Development Framework (SDF). The Msunduzi IDP and SDF will take cognizance of the foresight of those past and presently involved in building the city as well as the challenges faced with integrating the activities of the population cores of the greater municipality within a sustainable social, economic, and bio-physical context. The IDP and SDF are intended to provide a general framework for growth and change, not a detailed blueprint. Once prepared, many of the details will need to be worked out in further deliberations with local communities. Any changes to the framework will need to be reflected in future revisions which should occur on a regular basis towards achieving the Municipality’s 2025 Vision.

  • A Case Study of Msunduzi Municipality, South Africa
    URBAN OPEN SPACE: A CASE STUDY OF MSUNDUZI MUNICIPALITY, SOUTH AFRICA by Colleen Marianne Sutton A thesis submitted to the School of Environmental Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Environmental Studies Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (August, 2008) Copyright ©Colleen Marianne Sutton, 2008 ISBN 978-0-494-44523-5 Abstract Increasingly, it is understood that in order to realize healthy cities the urban environment must include viable and accessible open space. In order for urban planning and development agencies to ensure the presence of open space within cities, it is necessary to understand what constitutes ‘quality’ open space and the impediments to its creation. The focus of this thesis is to further understand the issues surrounding planning and management of open space in the Msunduzi Municipality in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A case study of the Camps Drift Waterfront Project, a local open space area that is currently being developed, is investigated through both key informant interviews with relevant stakeholders and through a comprehensive survey of written information. The thesis reveals a further understanding of how open space is planned locally, the issues surrounding creating quality and accessible open space and the key areas for further research. Finally, this thesis highlights how the case study of Msunduzi can broaden the debates and concepts in open space theory and planning. ii Acknowledgements This research could not have been completed without the many people who directly and indirectly supported and helped me throughout the past two years. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr.

    A small civil war: political conflict in the Pietermaritzburg region in the 1980s and early 1990s 1 by Christopher Merrett DURING the single week from 25 to 31 March 1990 a small-scale war took place to the west of Pietermaritzburg. According to the Truth and Reconcili- ation Commission (TRC), 200 people died and 20 000 were displaced. They were mainly from Ashdown, Caluza, Mpumuza, Gezubuso, KwaShange and KwaMnyandu in the lower Vulindlela and Edendale areas. There are no figures for those who were injured or disabled.2 Twenty years later ruined, abandoned buildings were still to be found from what became known as the Seven Day War.3 At the same time, with superior media coverage, the battle for Beirut was taking place across the Green Line between Syrian forces and General Michel Auon’s Lebanese army: 300 people were killed and 1 200 injured.4 Prelude N THE lead up to the Seven Day peaceful are complex and much argued.
