  • Klapmuts Burial Ground
    1. Introduction Klapmuts is a small hamlet with a population of approximately 6000, centrally located approximately 15km from the towns of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Kraaifontein. It has experienced slow growth as a residential area considering its proximity to Cape Town and other towns in the Winelands. It has lacked basic services infrastructure, such as water, until very recently and has historically been “viewed by planners as a deconcentration point for metropolitan Cape Town”.1 Large plots of land within the village are undeveloped and vacant. The local setting of Klapmuts (Figure 2) however forms an important sector of the „Greater Simonsberg‟ wine route. Historic werfs (Elsenburg, Muldersvlei and Natte Vallei) are located to the west and south of the village. Klapmuts itself is a poor community, however in recent years it has been seen as a potential growth point at which a number of more upmarket developments are proposed. The development proposal that has triggered this report is for the construction of 15 town houses. The proposal involves the consolidation of erven 212, 213, 214, 223 & 224 situated between Beyers Street and Bell Street within the residential areas of Klapmuts. The existing Klapmuts River is located along the Western boundary of the properties and has been upgraded with pedestrian access along the river. The existing erven are all zoned residential, however the owners of the property, KWV international (Pty) Ltd wish to rezone and sub-divide the property into residential zone 3 in order to build 15 freehold townhouses for the use of the company staff. The site under consideration (Figure 1) takes on the appearance of a vacant plot of land adjacent to the railway line surrounded by low cost housing.

  • Mandela City Community Risk Assessment
    Disaster Mitigation for Sustainable Livelihoods Programme Mandela City Community Risk Assessment September 2012 This report is the product of a short course conducted by the Disaster Mitigation for Sustainable Livelihoods Programme at the University of Stellenbosch in July 2012 entitled ‘Community Risk Assessment: Focus on Informal Settlements’ 1 Executive Summary The South African Disaster Management Act and National Disaster Management Framework call for increased efforts to reduce risks developmentally. Disaster risk refers to the chance of hardship or loss resulting from the interaction between natural or other hazards and vulnerable households exposed to them. Disaster risk reduction refers to all policies, actions and initiatives that minimise vulnerabilities and disaster risks, including prevention, mitigation and preparedness. The South African National Disaster Management Framework explicitly states that “Disaster risk assessment efforts must actively include the participation of vulnerable communities and households” (RSA, 2005: 31). As a developmental approach to disaster risk management/reduction, a community risk assessment is a fundamental step to inform development measures grounded on local risk dynamics with a view to ensuring sustainable development and service delivery programmes. Participatory risk assessment is a methodology that has been developed to engage communities developmentally, using highly participatory approaches in a bottom-up fashion. It provides insights into how risks are generated and can be reduced. In employing participatory methods a community risk assessment (CRA) has as its key tenet a concern to put local communities at the forefront of the risk and vulnerability identification process, thereby allowing ownership and control of the assessment by local residents themselves. In this way a CRA helps to create a framework for a reciprocal exchange of information and strategies between local authorities, key role players and local community members.

  • QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER JULY 2021 Greetings from the Youth and After School Programme Office
    Youth and After School Programme Office QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER JULY 2021 Greetings from the Youth and After School Programme Office. This quarter has been a busy one. As we grapple with the impacts of COVID-19 we have all been affected in some way. We have seen family, friends and colleagues becoming ill and in some cases we may have lost someone dear to us. Schooling and our work environments have been disrupted forcing us to adapt and innovate. As we face the third wave we all need to play our part to keep those around us safe. Please remember to mask up and avoid crowded places, confined spaces and close contact. If you are 35+ please register for the vaccine and help others over 35 to register and be vaccinated. Learners across the world have been key victims of the COVID pandemic. Unequal access and education disparity, stark before After School COVID, have worsened. Researchers believe it will take us ten years to recoup the learning losses experienced by most children News as a result of the lockdown caused by the pandemic. As we all grapple with how we can contribute to closing this gap, we are called upon to think differently about education. Educators need to rethink how they teach. Addressing this crisis cannot be left to schools alone. Everyone in the education eco-system needs to act. Parents and caregivers should be more involved in their children’s education. NGOs and After School Programmes have to be stepped up to help accelerate learning. Read more on why After School Programmes are so important in the three new publications appearing in the Knowledge Hub.
