  • Call to Join the Verlorenvlei Coalition
    TUNGSTEN MINE THREATENS WAY OF LIFE OF THOUSANDS AND PLACES RAMSAR-SITE VERLORENVLEI AT HIGH RISK · We the people of the Verlorenvallei stand as one against a threat which could destroy our way of life and our valley. · We the farm workers, fishermen, farmers and entrepreneurs will not allow the pollution of our air, water or land or loss of our livelihoods for the sake of a greedy few. · We the lovers of nature reject further desecration of the already endangered Verlorenvlei and the unique and wide variety of animals, birds, reptiles and plants which have survived the depredations of humans. · We will protect the rare and largely unexplored rich pre-historical heritage for those who may follow us. · We have formed the Verlorenvlei Coalition; we are growing steadily, please join. The Verlorenvlei Coalition (VC) is a coalition of labour, business, civic organisations, environmental groups and local residents formed to preserve the integrity of the area and its people. We call our valley, which runs from Piketberg to Elands Bay, the Verlorenvallei. THE CHALLENGE: No less than 5 applicants have submitted applications to the DEPARTMENT OF MINING for the right to build an open-cast tungsten and molybdenum mine, one of these 50 hectares in extent and 200 metres deep, in the Moutonshoek Valley, between Piketberg and Elands Bay in the Western Cape. The Moutonshoek is a narrow valley, approximately 17 kilometres long and 3-4 kilometres wide, on the slopes of the Piketberg-mountain. THE VERLORENVLEI COALITION will oppose the proposed mining because: 1. It will destroy productive and profitable farms and detrimentally affect the food security of the Western Cape.

  • Section 5 Industrial Market Analysis
    Saldanha Development Zone Pre-Feasibility Analysis - Final Report _OCTOBER 2009 SECTION 5 INDUSTRIAL MARKET ANALYSIS 5.1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 7: INDUSTRIAL ANALYSI Saldanha has developed into the largest industrial centre along the West Coast and there is further growth potential in the downstream steel manufacturing sector, agricultural sector and the mining sector, which can lead to job creation. Further growth potential in the oil and gas industries along the coast could also alter the function of the area. As a cautionary note it may be added that the town operates within a particularly sensitive marine and atmospheric environment highly vulnerable to air and water pollution. Great care will have to be taken to ensure sustainable maintenance of a healthy environment. The town is fully dependent on the already heavily taxed Berg River for its water supply - a strategically vulnerable limitation in terms of possible development. Apart from creating a vibrant industrial sector and supportive services and infrastructure, development in the region should also focus on creating a quality of life that contributes to a productive labour force and a favourable working-playing-living environment. This includes initiatives for human resource development, community empowerment, local economic development and basic infrastructure provision. In order to determine the development opportunities that can be exploited for the purpose of industrial establishment in the IDZ, it is necessary to assess the potential provided by existing economic activities in the province, as well as to identify opportunities through planned development initiatives in the country. Linked to this, are the current international market trends in product trading, the potential of establishing industries in the value chain of existing production lines and the potential of products to be manufactured competitively in South Africa (refer to Annexure A : Industrial Market Overview / Indicators).

    PALAEONTOLOGICAL SPECIALIST STUDY: DESKTOP ASSESSMENT Proposed Maskam limestone mine near Vanrhynsdorp, Matzikama Municipality, Western Cape Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cape Lime (Pty) Ltd, Vredendal, is proposing to develop a high grade limestone mine on the Remainder of the farm Welverdiend 511, some 8 km SSW of Vanrhynsdorp in the Matsikama Municipality, Western Cape Province. No processing plant will be located on site and all excavated limestone material will be transported to the applicant’s existing plant at their Vredendal site some 12 km away. The study area is largely mantled by a range of Late Caenozoic superficial deposits (wind-blown sands, soils, alluvium) that are up to 2m thick and all of low palaeontological sensitivity. The underlying Late Precambrian bedrocks of the Gifberg Group, notably the carbonate target rocks of the Widouw Formation, are metamorphosed, recrysallised and highly deformed, and hence unlikely to contain any fossils. The overall impact significance of the proposed mining development is inferred to be LOW because most of the study area is mantled by superficial sediments of low palaeontological sensitivity and the Precambrian bedrocks are almost certainly unfossiliferous. No further specialist studies or mitigation regarding fossil heritage are considered necessary for this project. Should substantial fossil remains (e.g. vertebrate teeth, bones, petrified wood, stromatolites, shells, trace fossils) be exposed during mining, however, the ECO should safeguard these, preferably in situ, and alert Heritage Western Cape as soon as possible so that appropriate action (e.g.

View of Vredendal North, 2.5kms away Layout pattern • Vredendal comprises three distinct components: - Vredendal South, the original settlement, located at a crossing point over the Olifants River and situated on fertile land in the flood plain. It is hemmed in on all sides by highly productive agricultural land watered by the irrigation system; - Across the river raised above Vredendal South on a low plateau is Vredendal North, a large apartheid dormitory area inhabited by the town’s Coloured and Black people; and - Between the two, at the junction of the R362 to Lutzville and R27 to Vanrhynsdorp and Klawer are the rail station and an industrial and civic area.
