Mayor’s Foreword It is with great pleasure and humility that I would like to present the annual report for the 2018-2019 financial year to the community and stakeholders of Pixley ka Seme District, in my first term as the Executive Mayor. This has proven to be one of the most challenging periods in the country, especially at the level of local government. The country continued to suffer under the triple challenges of inequality, poverty and unemployment. These challenged continued to have a gender and racial bias, despite the many work done by the government at all levels, since 1994. The people of the country also exercised their constitutionally enshrined rights to elect their provincial and national public representatives, during this financial year. The May 2019 elections were conducted in an atmosphere of peace and political tolerance, which has become the hallmark of all elections in the country, since the historic breakthrough on 27 April 1994. The people of the country once again demonstrated, that despite the political differences in the country, each one is entitled to his\her view. These elections also further demonstrated that despite the mentioned challenges in the country, the vast majority of our people still had their hope in the democratic electoral system. We need to ensure that more rigorous measures are put in place for public representatives to be kept more accountable to the people. The Premier of the Northern Cape, Dr Zamani Saul, introduced a new vision for the province, eg ‘A Modern, Growing and Successful

  • Thembelihle Draft IDP 2017
    \ Thembelihle DRAFT IDP / MARCH / for wider municipal area 2016/2017 Page 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING Integrated Development Planning (IDP) is a process whereby a municipality prepares its strategic development plan for a five year cycle directly linked to the term of office of its Council. The IDP is the centre of the system of developmental local government in South Africa and represents the driving force for making municipalities more strategic, inclusive, responsive and performance-driven in character. The IDP is the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning, budgeting and development in the Thembelihle Municipal Area. It seeks to integrate and balance the economic, ecological and social pillars of sustainability without comprising the institutional capacity required to implement and co-ordinate the efforts needed across sectors and relevant spheres of government. Moreover the IDP seeks meaning to developmental local government, where people themselves are active participants in the identification of needs, priorities and strategies for the reconstruction and development of communities. The IDP is necessary because: It enables the Municipality to manage the process of fulfilling its developmental responsibilities. Through the IDP, the Municipality is informed about the problems affecting its residents. It is thus able to develop and implement appropriate strategies and projects to address the problems. It helps to make more effective use of scarce resources. Helps to attract additional funds. Helps to strengthen democracy and hence institutional transformation because decisions are made in a democratic and transparent manner, rather than just by few. Promises intergovernmental coordination. 1.2 REVIEW OF A INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000) does require municipalities in South Africa to review their IDP’s on an annual basis in order to keep track and remain relevant to the ever changing needs and dynamics in communities.

  • The Imperial Map Cape Colony and Later Military Maps of the Cape Colony, South Africa
    The Imperial Map Cape Colony and later military maps of the Cape Colony, South Africa. Dr Christopher Board formerly Senior Lecturer in Geography, London School of Economics Abstract Attempts to compile maps for military use in the Cape Colony during the Anglo-Boer War 1899- 1902 left a legacy of incomplete and unstandardised mapping at the scale of 1:250,000 known as the Imperial Map Cape Colony. Aware of the need for good mapping to permit satisfactory administration and defence a congress of interested parties agreed in 1904 to a scheme for topographic mapping South Africa based on geodetic survey. Economic problems put an end to this project, but the War Office considered the NW Cape Colony worthy of a reconnaissance map at 1:250,000 which they would fund. Thus a special section of the War Office’s map of Africa G.S.G.S.1764 was designed and produced in a military version and as sales editions. The paper documents the progress of the survey and compilation of this map using surviving maps and other archival material in the UK. Introduction British military mapping of a large part of the Cape Colony, South Africa was achieved in great haste to meet the requirements of a mobile army in unfamiliar and poorly mapped, mostly open country at the end of the 19th century. The Imperial Map Cape Colony was compiled to meet the need for a map for planning and executing military operations, to deal with guerrilla war in the Colony itself. It was compiled from mapping available in the Surveyor General’s Department, supplemented by local observation and intelligence reports.
