Water demand is continuously growing and additional water resources are becoming more difficult and costly to find. Three options are being considered for implementation to supplement current supplies. This paper reviews the Mbombela water resources situation and makes recommendations on the most optimal options going forward. The review finds out that the level of unaccounted for water in Mbombela is unacceptably high and recommends diligent implementation of water conservation and demand management in addition to supply augmentation.

  • The Geology and Geochemistry of the Sterkspruit Intrusion, Barberton Mountain Land, Mpumalanga Province
    THE GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE STERKSPRUIT INTRUSION, BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE Gavin Patrick Conway A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 1997 11 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. __I_It __ ·daYOf A~V\.-~t 19 't1-- 111 ABSTRACT The Sterkspruit Intrusion, in the south-western portion of the Barberton greenstone belt, is a sill-like body containing rocks of gabbroic to dioritic composition. It is hosted by a sequence of komatiitic basalts and komatiites of the Lower Onverwacht Group. The intrusion is considered unique in this area in that it lacks ultramafic components and has no affinities with the surrounding mafic- to- ultramafic lavas. The gabbroic suite also contains an unusual abundance of quartz, and the chill margin shows an evolved quartz-normative, tholeiitic parental magma. Based on petrographic and geochemical evidence, the intrusion can be subdivided into four gabbroic zones and a quartz diorite, which is an end product of a differentiating magma. The chill margin records an MgO content of 4.8%, an Mg# of 42, an Si02 value of 52.5% and a normative plagioclase composition of An 44. The sill-like nature of the body, indicated by geochemical trends, and the steep sub-vertical layering, point to a body that has been tilted along with the surrounding lavas.

    1. BACKGROUND 1.1 INTRODUCTION Mbombela Local Municipality is faced with housing shortage caused by lack of suitable land for residential development, shortage of serviced stands and inadequate supply of housing subsidies by the Provincial Department of Human Settlements. On the other hand, it is linked with the rapid population growth caused by the migration of people in search of better job opportunities and lives, especially Nkomazi and Bushbuckridge Local Municipalities. According to Mbombela Local Municipality, integrated human settlement is one of the 13 priorities to be implemented within the period of five (5) years (2012-2017). Therefore to implement the integrated human settlement, the Municipality has identified suitable land around its areas for housing, but currently there is nothing that has been done to fast track the delivery of houses. The applicant, Zenani Properties (PTY) LTD intends to establish a township with residential, commercial stands and a private hospital, at Hazyview. The main objective of the proposed township establishment is to meet the request of the Municipality in utilizing available land that is strategically well located for the establishment of formal settlements to ensure adequate housing and in addition business evens in Hazyview. Also the aim of the planned project is to enable the development of multifunctional mixed land uses in such a way that they not only benefit the immediate community, but also play a catalytic role in stimulating further economic investment in the area. These will on the other hand benefit people and the economy of Mbombela Local Municipality and the Mpumalanga Province. The lives of people will be improved by providing houses, businesses stands and a private hospital.
