  • Archaeological and Historical Investigation of the Proposed Developments at Hoopstad, Free State
    26 March 2004 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS AT HOOPSTAD, FREE STATE INVESTIGATION The site for the proposed housing development and truck stop at Hoopstad was visited and inspected on 25 March 2004. Niel Devenish of Cebo Environmental Consultants, Bloemfontein, took me to the site. The area was examined for possible archaeological and historical material and to establish the potential impact on any cultural material that might be found. The Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is done in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA), (25 of 1999) and under the Environmental Conservation Act, (73 of 1989). LOCALITY The proposed developments are located west of Hoopstad and east of the R34 road to Bloemhof and south and north of the R59 entrance road from Hertzogville. The area borders on the existing residential and business area. The developments will take place on the remainder of the farm De Brug 1191, Hoopstad (Surveyor-General 1973). The specific dimensions of the area are indicated on a detailed map prepared by the developer. The following GPS coordinates were taken: • Commercial developments (27°50’04”S. 025°53’58”E. Altitude 1245m) south of the entrance road (27°50’02”S. 025°53’56”E. Altitude 1251m) with the southern border at 27°50’11”S. 025°53’53”E. Altitude 1249m) • Developments north of the entrance road (27°50’04”S. 025°53’58”E. Altitude 1245m) adjoining the Farmers Coop and adjacent to the quarry. (27°49’57”S. 025°53’59”E. Altitude 1251m) FINDS Due to disturbances by road building and the close proximity of the existing residential and commercial area and the quarry, no remains of early human occupation or cultural material could be found in this area.

  • The Future of South African Coal: Market, Investment, and Policy Challenges
    PROGRAM ON ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Working Paper #100 January 2011 THE FUTURE OF SOUTH AFRICAN COAL: MARKET, INVESTMENT, AND POLICY CHALLENGES ANTON EBERHARD FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FREEMAN SPOGLI INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES About the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development The Program on Energy and Sustainable Development (PESD) is an international, interdisciplinary program that studies how institutions shape patterns of energy production and use, in turn affecting human welfare and environmental quality. Economic and political incentives and pre-existing legal frameworks and regulatory processes all play crucial roles in determining what technologies and policies are chosen to address current and future energy and environmental challenges. PESD research examines issues including: 1) effective policies for addressing climate change, 2) the role of national oil companies in the world oil market, 3) the emerging global coal market, 4) the world natural gas market with a focus on the impact of unconventional sources, 5) business models for carbon capture and storage, 6) adaptation of wholesale electricity markets to support a low-carbon future, 7) global power sector reform, and 8) how modern energy services can be supplied sustainably to the world’s poorest regions. The Program is part of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. PESD gratefully acknowledges substantial core funding from BP and EPRI.
