Geosynthetics Ref No: ERSN 0028-03/2008 Erosion Control Shoreline Protection Amanzimtoti Beach, KwaZulu-Natal Project: Amanzimtoti Beach Rehabilitation Client: Ethekwini Municipality Date: October 2007 Consultant CBI Consulting Engineers Product: EnviroRock® bidim® A5 Contractor: DC Earthmovers Quantity: 2 000 In March 2007 a cut-off low-pressure system induced a storm at sea. The high seas and large waves triggered by the storm caused damage running into hundreds of millions of Rands along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline. The sand dunes along the Amanzimtoti tidal pool beach were badly damaged as the massive waves eroded away the beach sand. The planned rehabilitation was to incorporate ‘soft’ engineering solutions in accordance with the project’s environmental directives. Kaytech Engineered Fabrics introduced a soft engineering solution, the EnviroRock ® Geocontainer Bag. The EnviroRock® bag is durable, robust and aesthetically pleasing, and was accepted by the engineer and environmentalist. The EnviroRock® bags were hydraulically filled with beach sand from the site, and weighed approximately 4 tons when full. The bags prevented further sand loss at the toe of the dunes, and the placement was designed to allow wave run-up over the sloping structure, thereby reducing the wave energy. bidim® A5 was first installed on the slope before the bags were placed in order to prevent any further erosion of the bank should water get behind the EnviroRock® bags. The contractor, DC Earthmovers, found the system very easy to install and used local labour to stitch the spouts of the bags closed. Construction was done with ease and speed.

New Germany Central
New Germany Property Value Decreases Integration Newbury road where 25 flats /white house were build Berkshire road signaling the Increases beginning of ‘Buffer Strip’ ‘The World’ Integration 1 Regarding the perimeters of New Germany, respondents mentioned that Berkshire road separates New Germany and Claremont (Township). Berkshire, Habborth and Rose roads, which appear outside of the community boundaries in the map above are also considered as part of New Germany by residents. The map does not cover the industrial area which includes New Germany Primary School. When asked about the map, one respondent stated that “boundaries are changed over time”. The information gathered from all interviews show that people have their own impressions of what New Germany is and where its boundaries lie. In general, people define a place as part of New Germany if it utilizes most of the services offered in New Germany. HISTORY New Germany was developed by German settlers. According to some respondents, New Germany was started by Reverend Posselt when he launched a Lutheran Church missionary in the area in 1848. Nevertheless, other sources suggest that New Germany was founded by Jonas Bergtheil around the same time. The settlers were mostly impoverished Germans who just arrived looking for jobs since conditions were difficult in Germany. These settlers bought the land to plant cotton but later used it for vegetables as it was not suitable for cotton. New Germany was later bought for use as a golf course estate. As time progressed, houses were developed on that land and the area then became an entry point into the housing market for many white people.

Kwazulu-Natal Coastal Erosion Events of 2006/2007 And
Research Letter KwaZulu-Natal coastal erosion: A predictive tool? Page 1 of 4 KwaZulu-Natal coastal erosion events of 2006/2007 AUTHORS: and 2011: A predictive tool? Alan Smith' Lisa A. Guastella^ Severe coastal erosion occurred along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline between mid-May and November 2011. Andrew A. Mather^ Analysis of this erosion event and comparison with previous coastal erosion events in 2006/2007 offered the Simon C. Bundy" opportunity to extend the understanding of the time and place of coastal erosion strikes. The swells that drove Ivan D. Haigh* the erosion hotspots of the 2011 erosion season were relatively low (significant wave heights were between AFFILIATIONS: 2 m and 4.5 m) but ot long duration. Although swell height was important, swell-propagation direction and 'School of Geological Sciences, particularly swell duration played a dominant role in driving the 2011 erosion event. Two erosion hotspot types University of KwaZulu-Natal, were noted: sandy beaches underlain by shallow bedrock and thick sandy beaches. The former are triggered Durban, South Africa by high swells (as in March 2007) and austral winter erosion events (such as in 2006, 2007 and 2011). ^Oceanography Department, University of Cape Town, Cape The latter become evident later in the austral winter erosion cycle. Both types were associated with subtidal Town, South Africa shore-normal channels seaward of megacusps, themselves linked to megarip current heads. This 2011 ^Ethekwini Municipality, Durban, coastal erosion event occurred during a year in which the lunar perigee sub-harmonic cycle (a ±4.4-year South Africa cycle) peaked, a pattern which appears to have recurred on the KwaZulu-Natal coast.

Herewith a review of the more significant ones. Last year we started a program of training Community Members to take over most of Rotarys’ work in the Township. Here are the key staff of our main Social Development agent, the Ethembeni Community Crisis Centre. On the left is the Manager, Abegail Mbongwa, behind her, (looks as if he had had a few ‘Red Bulls’) is her husband, Phineas. On the extreme right is the Projects Manager, Sithembiso Duma &, in front of him, in the white shirt, is the Admin clerk, Vuyo. They are now doing over half the work previously done by Rotarians. Getting around in a Township is very difficult. Very few have cars & they use Taxis (expensive & irregular) or walk (huge distances). One of our ‘Rotary Trusts’ recently donated half the cost of a car in order to alleviate the situation. The Department of Social Development is funding the other half of this car. Here Phineas & Vuyo admire it. This car increases Ethembenis’ effectiveness & saves money. A major use is collecting tons a month of surplus foodstuffs from PicknPay, a local, large, supermarket. This food is distributed to our huge network of the needy. About 10 years ago, the Rotary Club of Wellingborough-Hatton, England, funded a Matching Grant to extend the Zamani Creche & Pre-school.
