PRESS RELEASE 16 July 2021 the South African Maritime Safety PRESS RELEASE 16 July 2021 The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) and the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) bring relief to the Siyancuma Local Municipality as part of Nelson Mandela Day. The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) and South African Local Government Association (SALGA) have partnered to bring relief to the communities of Siyancuma Local Municipality in Campbell and Griekwastad, Northern Cape during this year’s Nelson Mandela Day. SAMSA is an agency of the Department of Transport charged with the administration of Maritime transport with a mandate focusing on • The protection of life and property at sea. • The prevention and combating of pollution of the marine environment by ships and, • The promotion of South Africa’s maritime interests. The partnership with SALGA is premised on the Millennium Development Goals coupled with the 2019 to 2029 Nelson Mandela Day Goals of providing quality: • Education and Literacy. • Food and Nutrition. • Shelter and, • Sanitation. To this end we have identified sanitation as a deliverable in this particular intervention to assist and provide relief material to communities that suffer from water scarcity. It is estimated that every day, 2.1 billion people around the world still wake up each morning without access to clean water. SAMSA and SALGA are therefore proud to donate 200 Hippo Roller water containers to the residents of Campbell and Griekwastad in Siyancuma Local Municipality. These containers can transport 90 litres of water with no requirement for carrying. The handle of the roller enables the robust barrel to be pushed or pulled over even in the roughest rural terrains which makes it convenient for the beneficiaries to pull or push them in their attempt to fetch and store clean water. This is a solution that allows the people to collect water up to five times more than they would usually collect and store it for longer periods. Nelson Mandela Day provides businesses, organisations and ordinary citizens an opportunity to reflect on the socio-economic situations in our country and to pull resources together to bring relief to marginalised and poor communities. The Hippo Rollers will be handed over to the communities in two phases, the first phase will see only two rollers handed over to the selected beneficiaries and the rest of the rollers will be handed over after the COVID-19 lockdown regulations are eased as it is also in the interest of the two organisations to ensure that no gatherings are held during the period of the pandemic as well as to ensure that our communities are kept safe. A virtual official handover of these hippo-rollers will be officiated by the Acting CEO of SAMSA, Ms. Tsepiso Taoana – Mashiloane on Tuesday, 20 July 2021 at 9am.

  • Paper Number: 3492 MARKET DEVELOPMENT and SUPPORT of MINERAL BASED SMME’S in the NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE
    Paper Number: 3492 MARKET DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT OF MINERAL BASED SMME’s IN THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE Modiga, A., Rasmeni S.K., Mokubedi, I., and Auchterlonie, A Small Scale Mining and Beneficiation Division, Mintek, Randburg South Africa AgnesM@mintek.co.za For some time the South African government has been advocating the advancement of Small, Medium and Micro-sized Enterprises (SMMEs) through the prioritisation of entrepreneurship as the catalyst to achieving economic growth, development and self-sustainability. Mintek has undertaken a project that is aimed at supporting the SMMEs in the mining industry by researching the semi-precious gemstone mineral potential in the Northern Cape Province. The project provided training on safe mining methods and the beneficiation of the mineral resources through value-addition programmes (stone cutting and polishing as well as jewellery manufacturing) by the establishment of centres in the province. This will encourage a level of poverty alleviation in this region through the creation of employment in the small scale minerals, mining and manufacturing sector. Preliminary field investigations show that certain communities, especially in the Prieska and surrounding area, mine various types of semi-precious gemstone. Of notable importance are tiger’s eye deposits in the Prieska area, Griekwastad and Niekerkshoop. Mining is mainly seasonal and these miners lack appropriate tools and machinery to conduct mining efficiently. Most of the communities are characterised by low literacy levels and the miners have no access to financing or credit from formal financial institutions for them to finance their operational requirements. The lack of a formal or established market for the semi-precious stones such as tiger’s eye results in the exploitation of miners.

  • Proposed Mineral Prospecting on the Farms Achambachs Puts 56, Plaas 53, Plaas 566 and Plaas 567 Near Griekwastad, Siyancuma Loca
    PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE BASIC ASSESSMENT: DESKTOP STUDY Proposed mineral prospecting on the farms Achambachs Puts 56, Plaas 53, Plaas 566 and Plaas 567 near Griekwastad, Siyancuma Local Municipality, Hay Magisterial District, Northern Cape John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA naturaviva@universe.co.za February 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Leago Mining and Infrastructure Investments (Pty) Ltd, is proposing to undertake mineral prospecting on the farms Achambachs Puts 56, Plaas 53, Plaas 566 and Plaas 567, situated some 15 to 20 km NNW of the town of Griekwastad, Siyancuma Local Municipality, Hay Magisterial District, Northern Cape The prospecting study area is underlain by largely undeformed Precambrian sediments and lavas of the Transvaal Supergroup that are Early Proterozoic in age ( c. 2.5 to 2.22 billion years old). These principally comprise a thick succession of banded iron formations (BIF) of the Asbestos Hills Subgroup (Ghaap Group) that are overlain towards the northwest by glacial diamictites (tillites) and lavas of the Postmasburg Group. The latter are referred to the Makganyene Formation and Ongeluk Formation respectively. The Precambrian bedrocks are overlain by a range of late Caenozoic superficial sediments including aeolian sands of the Gordonia Formation (Kalahari Group), calcrete hardpans, colluvium ( e.g. surface rubble, scree), river alluvium and pan deposits. The finely-laminated Asbestos Hills BIF contain microfossils but no well-attested macrofossil remains. Presumed warm-water stromatolitic carbonates closely associated with glacial sediments are reported from thin limestone lenticles within the Makganyene Formation (Postmasburg Group) and might be present within the study region.
