  • Existing Persberg Dam Wall Phase 1 Heritage Impact
    EXISTING PERSBERG DAM WALL, PERSBERG FARM (PORTION LINDE NO 4733) SITUATED NEAR HELPMEKAAR, MSINGA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY, UMZINYATHI DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, KWAZULU- NATAL Phase 1 Heritage Impact Assessment 15 August 2019 FOR: Afzelia Environmental Consultants Deshni Naicker AUTHOR: JLB Consulting Jean Beater EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Applicant commenced with listed activities within a watercourse on Persberg Farm in August 2015 without the required authorisation. The dam wall has been raised to a height of 8.5 m and the dam covers an area of 8.4 hectares and is estimated to hold a capacity of 152 000 m³ (cubic meters) of water when full. As a result of a non-compliance with Section 25 of NEMA, a rectification process was commenced that included a Basic Assessment process in terms of the EIA Regulations, 2014 (as amended on 7 April 2017). This Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) report forms part of the Basic Assessment process. Interim comment received from the KwaZulu-Natal Amafa and Research Institute, the provincial heritage authority, stated that the development footprint falls within the red zone of the palaeontology sensitivity zone (very high fossil sensitivity) meaning that a palaeontologist must complete a survey of the development area. Furthermore, the area where the proposed development footprint is located used to have old structures situated close by and the area may therefore contain heritage artefacts or graves hence a heritage impact assessment (HIA) is required. This Phase 1 HIA report is in response to this requirement. The dam is situated within a watercourse on Persberg Farm (Portions Linde No 4733) that falls in the Msinga Local Municipality that falls within the Umzinyathi District Municipality, KwaZulu- Natal.

While land reform was expected to become a cornerstone in achieving this, there is a growing consensus that it has not yet contributed to the emergence of viable black farmers. In this context, this study proposes the necessity of looking elsewhere and re-examining the current state and performance of black farmers in former homelands. Drawing on interviews with farmers who engage in crop farming at the Mooi River Irrigation Scheme in the Msinga district of KwaZulu-Natal, this study explores the opportunities and constraints for small-scale black farming. Irrigation schemes could stand out as exceptions to the general picture of former homelands which were largely equated with labour reserves for white business interests and consequent de-agrarianisation. This study has identified the availability of water and various informal markets as opportunities for small-scale black farmers to pursue agricultural livelihoods.

Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences UNIVERSITY OF THE WESTERN CAPE Date submitted for examination: December 2013 Supervisor: Professor Benjamin Cousins 0 Pro-poor value chain governance in the Mtateni irrigation scheme at Tugela Ferry, Msinga, KwaZulu-Natal Thokozile Cynthia Buthelezi KEYWORDS Smallholder farmers Agrarian reform Irrigation schemes Fresh produce Inputs supply Marketing Agro-food industry Value chains Value chain governance i ABSTRACT Pro-poor value chain governance in the Mtateni irrigation scheme at Tugela Ferry, Msinga, KwaZulu-Natal T.C. Buthelezi MPhil in Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies Insitute of Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies This study explored value-chain governance in the Tugela Ferry Irrigation Scheme in KwaZulu-Natal, and presents data on input markets, vegetable production and output markets. Rural poverty is a major problem in post-apartheid South Africa, and smallholder agriculture has been identified by the Economic Development Department as a key component of its New Growth Path framework. Some scholars argue that since water is a scarce resource, irrigation farming should form a key focus of pro-poor land redistribution policy. The 1994 democratic dispensation saw the dismantling of the agricultural homeland parastatals which managed these schemes, causing them to collapse or near collapse. Yet they may have the potential to reduce rural poverty. While markets are key for viable production of fresh produce, some scholars assert that globally, input suppliers, food processors and supermarkets dominate the agro-food industry resulting in negative outcomes for smallholder producers.

  • Final Msinga Municipal Housing Plan Report
    MSINGA MUNICIPAL HOUSING PLAN 1. INTRODUCTION: 1.1 Isibuko se-Africa (in association with SRK Consulting) was appointed, in January 2007, to assist the Msinga Municipality with the preparation of a Municipal Housing Plan. 1.2 “Housing” refers to an integrated approach to development with the primary focus being on the delivery of shelter. As indicated in Figure 1 below, housing includes, among others, the development of housing units, service delivery, the upgrading of land tenure rights, social and community development and planning policy issues. Future housing projects should aim to achieve all of these development goals. Figure 1: Housing Concept SUSTAINABLE HUMAN SETTLEMENT Shelter Community Facilities Community Poverty Alleviation Poverty NATION BUILDING Service Delivery Service DEVELOPMENT INTEGRATED Land Land Tenure Job Creation Job Self Self Esteem Policy Legislation Programmes Budget SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Housing delivery within the Msinga Municipal Area occurs mainly in the form of state funded, low cost housing in which the municipality serves as a developer. 1.3 The purpose of the National Housing Code (March 2000 is to set out clearly the National Housing Policy of South Africa. It identifies the primary role of the municipality as taking all reasonable and necessary steps, within the framework of national and provincial legislation and policy, to ensure that the inhabitants within its area of jurisdiction have access to adequate housing on a progressive basis. This entails the following: Initiating, planning, facilitating and co-ordinating appropriate housing development. This can be undertaken by the municipality itself or by the appointment of implementing agents. 1 ISIBUKO SE-AFRICA JANUARY 2008 MSINGA MUNICIPAL HOUSING PLAN Preparing a housing delivery strategy and setting up housing development goals.
