  • Stories of the South Peninsula
    Stories of the South Peninsula Historical research, stories and heritage tourism opportunities in the South Peninsula AFRICANSOUTH TOURISM The peninsula from Cape Point Nature Reserve Prepared for the City of Cape Town by C. Postlethwayt, M. Attwell & K. Dugmore Ström June 2014 Making progress possible. Together. Background The primary objective of this project was to prepare a series of ‘story packages’ providing the content for historical interpretive stories of the ‘far’ South Peninsula. Stories cover the geographical area of Chapman’s Peak southwards to include Imhoff, Ocean View, Masiphumelele, Kommetjie, Witsand, Misty Cliffs and Scarborough, Plateau Road, Cape Point, Smitswinkel Bay to Miller’s Point, Boulders, Simon’s Town, Red Hill, Glencairn and Fish Hoek to Muizenberg. The purposes for which these stories are to be told are threefold, namely to support tourism development; to stimulate local interest; and to promote appropriate and sustainable protection of heritage resources through education, stimulation of interest and appropriate knowledge. To this end, the linking of historical stories and tourism development requires an approach to story-telling that goes beyond the mere recording of historic events. The use of accessible language has been a focus. Moreover, it requires an approach that both recognises the iconic, picture-postcard image of parts of Cape Town (to which tourists are drawn initially), but extends it further to address the particular genius loci that is Cape Town’s ‘Deep South’, in all its complexity and coloured by memory, ambivalences and contradictory experiences. We believe there is a need to balance the more conventional approach, which selects people or events deemed worthy of commemoration (for example, the Battle of Muizenberg) to tell the story of places, by interweaving popular memory and culture into these recordings (for example, the rich Muslim culture that existed in Simon’s Town before the removal under the Group Areas Act).

Representatives present were all members of rate payers and other civic organisations in the Far South Peninsula who are members of the FSPCF, which deals with common Far South issues. All FSPCF associations acknowledge the necessity to cross-subsidise poorer areas in the city. This meeting is not to discuss the problems themselves but to identify steps that can be taken to solve them. However, a summary of problems had been prepared by Lesley and Allen as background to this discussion, and a copy had been e-mailed to Cllr Neilson with the request that he respond later in writing to the points raised. Cllr Neilson’s Address: The Cllr said he would like to begin with some general background: Council faced a new set of circumstances with the latest valuation process.

  • Groundwater a Source of Water for the Deep South
    GROUNDWATER A SOURCE OF WATER FOR THE DEEP SOUTH Roger Parsons 1, John Coetzee 2 and Chris Wise 2 1Parsons and Associates Specialist Groundwater Consultants, PO Box 2606 Somerset West 7129. Tel (021) 855-2480. E-mail: [email protected] 2Jeffares and Green (Pty) Ltd ABSTRACT Adequate supply of water to the southern suburbs of Cape Town, including Fish Hoek, Simon’s Town and Noordhoek, is increasingly coming under threat as these suburbs expand and their demand for water increases. Upgrading and expanding existing water reticulation pipelines through Muizenberg to these areas is possible, but will be expensive and disruptive. Alternative sources of water were hence considered, including the construction of a dam at Brooklands above Simon’s Town and development of local groundwater resources. This paper describes the potential for developing groundwater resources to increase a secure supply of water to these areas. INTRODUCTION The area south of Clovelly – including Fish Hoek, Noordhoek, Simon’s Town, Scarborough and Kommetjie – currently obtains water from water resources above Simon’s Town (Lewis-Gay Dam, Kleinplaas Dam, and Rawson Dam) and via a pipeline running through Muizenberg and Kalk Bay. A dam site at Brooklands was identified some 30 years ago as a potential future source of water to augment existing supplies (Figure 1). In response to a land claim – parts of which would be flooded should the dam be built - the City of Cape Town investigated whether the Brooklands Dam site was still required. To be able to make an informed decision regarding the reservation of the land for construction of the Brooklands Dam at some point in the future, the City of Cape Town commissioned a study to investigate water resource and supply options for the area colloquially referred to as the Deep South.

  • CPT City of Cape Town SDBIP 2014 2015
    2014 – 2015 SERVICE DELIVERY AND BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan for the City of Cape Town 2014/2015 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR We have undertaken an ambitious programme of governance in the city. That programme has been to turn the five pillars into a development programme until 2016. Those pillars are: the opportunity city; the safe city; the caring city; the inclusive city; and the well-run city. I think we have achieved a great deal. The IDP maps out our goals, plans and ambitions for the remainder of this term, which is already well under way. I believe that we have achieved something quite unique in local government in South Africa and what national legislation actually intended: the complete alignment of democratic will into a programme of government. But having put in place this great plan, we need to know that it is working. We need to see the outcomes that we are delivering to the people, for their own benefit and for our own progress reports. These outcomes must be assessed by a monitoring and evaluation framework that can help flag our priority areas and provide baselines and targets against which we measure our performance. That means having a scorecard that we can monitor, a scorecard that becomes the living document of delivery. We do operate with certain realities. The Auditor- General requires strict monitoring of things that are measurable in order to determine compliance and sound government. We support those principles but in as much as we satisfy the Auditor General, we must satisfy our own purposes too.

  • I Cataloguing Practices from Creation To
    Cataloguing practices from creation to use: A study of Cape Town Metropolitan Public Libraries in Western Cape Province, South Africa by Madireng Jane Monyela Student number: 215081797 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Information Studies) in the School of Social Sciences, College of Humanities, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Supervisor: Prof. Stephen Mutula ---------------------------------------------- June, 2019 i Abstract Cataloguing is the process of creating metadata representing information sources such as books, sound recordings, digital video disks (DVDs), journals and other materials found in a library or group of libraries. This process requires the use of standardised cataloguing tools to achieve the bibliographic description, authority control, subject analysis and assignment of classification notation to generate a library catalogue. The well-generated library catalogue serves as an index of a collection of information sources found in libraries that enables the library users to discover which information sources are available and where they are in the library. Such a catalogue should provide information such as the creators’ names, titles, subject terms, standard number, publication area, physical description and notes that describe those information sources to facilitate easy information retrieval. This study sought to investigate cataloguing practices from creation to use in Cape Town Metropolitan public libraries in South Africa with the aim
