It may only be used for the purposes it was commissioned for by the client. DISCLAIMER: Although all efforts are made to identify all sites of cultural heritage (archaeological and historical) significance during an assessment of study areas, the nature of archaeological and historical sites are as such that it is always possible that hidden or subterranean sites, features or objects could be overlooked during the study. APELSER Archaeological Consulting can’t be held liable for such oversights or for costs incurred as a result thereof. Clients & Developers should not continue with any development actions until SAHRA or one of its subsidiary bodies has provided final comments on this report. Submitting the report to SAHRA is the responsibility of the Client unless required of the Heritage Specialist as part of their appointment and Terms of Reference 3 SUMMARY A Pelser Archaeological Consulting (APAC) was appointed by SLR Consulting (Pty) Ltd to conduct a Phase 1 HIA for Khwara Manganese (Pty) Ltd’s proposed Iron Ore and Manganese prospecting on the farm Boerdraai 228. The prospecting and study area is located in the Joe Morolong Local Municipality, John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality of the Northern Cape Province. The area is situated approximately 27km north-west of the town of Hotazel. The prospecting activities will include non-invasive and invasive activities. Non-invasive activities will comprise analyzing existing core, ground penetrating radar and hand held ground magnetic mapping. Invasive activities would comprise drilling of four prospecting boreholes on the Boerdraai farm. Background research indicates that there are some cultural heritage sites and features in the larger geographical area within which the study area falls, while no known sites are known for the specific study area. The assessment of the specific study area identified some sites, features or material of cultural heritage (archaeological and/or historical) origin and significance including some Stone Age and recent historical sites. This report discusses the results of both the background research and physical assessment and provides recommendations on the way forward at the end. From a Cultural Heritage point of view it is recommended that the proposed prospecting activities be allowed to continue once the recommended mitigation measures put forward at the end of the report have been implemented. 4 CONTENTS 1.

INTRODUCTION A Pelser Archaeological Consulting (APAC) was appointed by SLR Consulting (Pty) Ltd to conduct a Phase 1 HIA for Khwara Manganese (Pty) Ltd’s proposed Iron Ore and Manganese prospecting on the farm Boerdraai 228. The prospecting and study area is located in the Joe Morolong Local Municipality, John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality of the Northern Cape Province. The area is situated approximately 27km north-west of the town of Hotazel. The prospecting activities will include non-invasive and invasive activities. Non-invasive activities will comprise analyzing existing core, ground penetrating radar and hand held ground magnetic mapping. Invasive activities would comprise drilling of four prospecting boreholes on the Boerdraai farm. Background research indicates that there are some cultural heritage sites and features in the larger geographical area within which the study area falls, while no known sites are known for the specific study area. The assessment of the specific study area identified some sites, features or material of cultural heritage (archaeological and/or historical) origin and significance including some Stone Age and recent historical sites. The client indicated the location and boundaries of the study area and the assessment concentrated on this portion. 2. TERMS OF REFERENCE The Terms of Reference for the study was to: 1. Identify all objects, sites, occurrences and structures of an archaeological or historical nature (cultural heritage sites) located on the portion of land that will be impacted upon by the proposed development; 2. Assess the significance of the cultural resources in terms of their archaeological, historical, scientific, social, religious, aesthetic and tourism value; 3. Describe the possible impact of the proposed development on these cultural remains, according to a standard set of conventions; 4. Propose suitable mitigation measures to minimize possible negative impacts on the cultural resources; 5. Review applicable legislative requirements; 3. LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS Aspects concerning the conservation of cultural resources are dealt with mainly in two acts. These are the National Heritage Resources Act (Act 25 of 1999) and the National Environmental Management Act (Act 107 of 1998). 6 3.1. The National Heritage Resources Act According to the above-mentioned act the following is protected as cultural heritage resources: a. Archaeological artifacts, structures and sites older than 100 years b. Ethnographic art objects (e.g. prehistoric rock art) and ethnography c. Objects of decorative and visual arts d. Military objects, structures and sites older than 75 years e. Historical objects, structures and sites older than 60 years f. Proclaimed heritage sites g. Grave yards and graves older than 60 years h. Meteorites and fossils i. Objects, structures and sites of scientific or technological value. The National Estate includes the following: a. Places, buildings, structures and equipment of cultural significance b. Places to which oral traditions are attached or which are associated with living heritage c. Historical settlements and townscapes d. Landscapes and features of cultural significance e. Geological sites of scientific or cultural importance f. Sites of Archaeological and palaeontological importance g. Graves and burial grounds h. Sites of significance relating to the history of slavery i. Movable objects (e.g. archaeological, palaeontological, meteorites, geological specimens, military, ethnographic, books etc.) A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is the process to be followed in order to determine whether any heritage resources are located within the area to be developed as well as the possible impact of the proposed development thereon. An Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) only looks at archaeological resources. An HIA must be done under the following circumstances: a. The construction of a linear development (road, wall, power line, canal etc.) exceeding 300m in length b. The construction of a bridge or similar structure exceeding 50m in length c. Any development or other activity that will change the character of a site and exceed 5 000m2 or involve three or more existing erven or subdivisions thereof d. Re-zoning of a site exceeding 10 000 m2 e. Any other category provided for in the regulations of SAHRA or a provincial heritage authority 7 Structures Section 34 (1) of the mentioned act states that no person may demolish any structure or part thereof which is older than 60 years without a permit issued by the relevant provincial heritage resources authority. A structure means any building, works,

  • Weak Hydrothermal Carbonation of the Ongeluk Volcanics
    Shibuya et al. Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (2017) 4:31 Progress in Earth and DOI 10.1186/s40645-017-0145-6 Planetary Science RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Weak hydrothermal carbonation of the Ongeluk volcanics: evidence for low CO2 concentrations in seawater and atmosphere during the Paleoproterozoic global glaciation Takazo Shibuya1,2,3*, Tsuyoshi Komiya4, Ken Takai1,2,3, Shigenori Maruyama5,7 and Michael J. Russell6 Abstract It was previously revealed that the total CO2 concentration in seawater decreased during the Late Archean. In this paper, to assess the secular change of total CO2 concentration in seawater, we focused on the Paleoproterozoic era when the Earth experienced its first recorded global glaciation. The 2.4 Ga Ongeluk Formation outcrops in the Kaapvaal Craton, South Africa. The formation consists mainly of submarine volcanic rocks that have erupted during the global glaciation. The undeformed lavas are mostly carbonate-free but contain rare disseminated calcites. The 13 carbon isotope ratio of the disseminated calcite (δ Ccc vs. VPDB) ranges from − 31.9 to − 13.2 ‰. The relatively low 13 13 δ Ccc values clearly indicate that the carbonation was partially contributed by C-depleted CO2 derived from 13 decomposition of organic matter beneath the seafloor. The absence of δ Ccc higher than − 13.2‰ is consistent 13 with the exceptionally C-depleted CO2 in the Ongeluk seawater during glaciation. The results suggest that carbonation occurred during subseafloor hydrothermal circulation just after the eruption of the lavas. Previously, it was reported that the carbonate content in the uppermost subseafloor crust decreased from 3.2 to 2.6 Ga, indicating a decrease in total CO2 concentration in seawater during that time.

It should therefore be determined how these resources are managed and what happens to the capital generated by the extraction of these resources. The resource curse hypothesis will be used as a base to understand why there are so many underdeveloped communities in places where these resources are extracted. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature and extent of the economic and social conditions of the communities of small mining towns in the Northern

  • John Taolo Gaetsewe Disrict Integrated Human Settlement Sector Plan
    Choose a building block. || JOHN TAOLO GAETSEWE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENTS SECTOR PLAN FINAL REPORT 2019/20 JOHN TAOLO GAETSEWE INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENTS SECTOR PLAN 2019-2024 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the past decades South Africa has embarked on building a better life for all by providing and basic services as constitutional requirements. In terms of Section 9 (1)(f) of the Housing Act, 1997 (Act No. 107 of 1997) “Every municipality must, as part of the municipality’s process of integrated development planning, take all reasonable and necessary steps within the framework of national and provincial housing legislation and policy to initiate, plan, co-ordinate, facilitate, promote and enable appropriate housing development in its area of jurisdiction”. Municipalities are expected to prepare and adopt Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) as the basis for planning and coordinating service delivery. Within the IDP certain sector plans also need to be prepared, and the Integrated Human Settlements Sector Plan, is one of these. The Integrated Human Settlements Sector Plan is part of the IDP process and stands as a chapter within a municipality’s IDP; it is not a stand-alone plan resulting from a separate planning process. The Integrated Human Settlements Sector Plan aims to provide the strategic direction for transforming human settlements in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District aligned to the Provincial Department. This transformation relate to accelerating human settlement delivery on well-located land, that provide opportunities to beneficiaries to access the property market and have sufficient access to social amenities and economic opportunities. This transformation will further support the integration of communities and the spatial restructuring of the towns and villages in the Municipal area.
