Planning for Environmental Sustainability and Social Equity in South Africa: the Case of the Dwars River Valley, Stellenbosch Municipality Planning for environmental sustainability and social equity in South Africa: the case of the Dwars River Valley, Stellenbosch Municipality by Corrine Cash A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 ©Corrine Cash 2010 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Post apartheid planning practice aims to resolve the inequality that resulted from the hyper- rational comprehensive model of planning executed during apartheid via a participatory, integrated approach. The Integrated Development Planning model was created to manifest the goals of social and spatial equality while taking into account principles set forth in Agenda 21. This thesis attempted to determine the relevance of the present planning model in achieving the stated goals of social equity and environmental sustainability, within the Dwars River Valley, Stellenbosch Municipality, Western Cape, South Africa. Utilizing 54 qualitative-based interviews with key stakeholders, results indicate that historically based realities on the ground and ideals of more equitable and sustainable spatial architecture is profoundly challenging. Despite this, the organic emergence of unique coalitions provides evidence that positive change occurs daily and outcomes can only be measured with time. iii Acknowledgements Special thanks to the

  • Transforming the Springboks: Re-Imagining the South African Nation Through Sport
    This paper is a post-print of an article published in Social Dynamics 29:1 (2003): 27-48. The definitive version is available at: http://www.africanstudies.uct.ac.za/downloads/29_1farquharson.zip Transforming the Springboks: Re-imagining the South African Nation through Sport 1 Karen Farquharson and Timothy Marjoribanks Abstract Nation-building occurs not only through the creation of formal institutions, but also through struggles in cultural and symbolic contexts. In apartheid South Africa, the rugby union Springboks both symbolised and institutionalised a racially based form of ‘bounded citizenship’. In post-apartheid South Africa, the Springboks have emerged as a contested and significant site in the attempt to build a non-racial nation through reconciliation. To explore these contests, we undertook a qualitative thematic analysis of newspaper discourses around the Springboks, reconciliation and nation-building in the contexts of the 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups. Our research suggests, first, that the Springboks have been re-imagined in newspaper discourses as a symbol of the non-racial nation-building process in South Africa, especially in ‘media events’ such as the World Cup. Second, we find that there are significant limitations in translating this symbolism into institutionalised practice, as exemplified by newspaper debates over the place of ‘merit’ in international team selection processes. We conclude that the media framing of the role of the Springboks in nation-building indicates that unless the re-imagination of the Springboks is accompanied by a transformation in who is selected to represent the team, and symbolically the nation, the Springboks’ contribution to South African nation-building will be over.

Your rights’. Johan van der Vyver, who is so much more than a run-of-the-mill lecturer in law, had been the first person to kindle in me an interest in human rights. In the lectures on Interfaculty Philosophy, Willem de Klerk, a mentor, taught me something about the coherence of apparently contradicting concepts. Marinus Wiechers, a national and international icon in public law and a source of inspiration to many law students, took the trouble to talk to me for many hours over many cups of coffee on how to embark on this challenge and how to hone my thoughts.
