A Barker reported that they are still putting together proposal as it is not yet finalised. Pg7; 15.3. Ekrhuleni was changed to Ekurhuleni. 5 Matters Arising from the Previous Minutes. Were dealt with as part of the meeting (see the action list) DWS 6 Additions to the Agenda 6.1 Proposed development of a Klipriver 7 Items for Presentation 7.1 Micro systems in water by Aquatics. 8 Water Quality Status 8.1 DWS DWS started sampling this month and will resume with the presentation on the next meeting. No report. The water quality results are not yet back. 8.2 City of Johannesburg (CoJ) The water quality for the quarter is showing very high level of W. Ndlala Page | 1 contamination, bacteriological 87 % of monitoring points that are within the unacceptable range, 3% acceptable, 8% is ideal and 2% tolerable. The challenges are sewer related, sewer blockages, vandalism on infrastructure and grey water from informal settlement. Chemical quality is not bad and is showing improvement. 44% acceptable, 55% tolerable, and there is no monitoring points showing unacceptable. The city continues to implement sewer infrastructure upgrade, clearance of blockages when reported. They are also performing hydro jetting sewer reticulation but the main challenge is the sewer rats that are forever vandalizing the infrastructure which is impacting on the water quality. The city is also involved on the bylaw enforcement and compliance, investigation and pollution. City of Johannesburg has assigned a task team to attend all the monitoring points that are added to the ward board list; there are a high percentage of points that are showing unacceptable. City of Johannesburg has sent a request to Joburg Water (JW) to attend the forum meeting. JW will have more clarity as they deal with monitoring of water quality. A. Barker suggested that since Joburg Water has been called to attend the forum and failed the matter must be reported to the MMC or Mayoral committee. D. Goeff requested map for all the area monitored. M. Fontein answered that he will put them on reservoir. The task team has been established to deal with the pollution and the studies been done for a door to door meeting. 8.3 Jo’burg Water Joburg Water Absent without apology. Etienne Hugo to be called to delegate someone to attend the forum meetings. 8.4 Rand Water Rand Water M de Fontaine reported that the level of ammonia at K1 is of concern in terms of the upper Klip River catchment, particularly around the Soweto area. The sites K4, K5 and K6 are those sites that pass through Soweto and indicate that whilst ammonia levels are high, sodium and sulphate levels are not cause for concern. Ecoli counts at K18, K19, K21 and K25 are relatively low in the tens of thousands, and even though this still represents Unacceptable water quality, at least they are not in the hundreds or thousands or million counts. The high levels of Ecoli recorded at K4 and E17 are most likely indicative of overflowing manholes or broken sewer lines discharging into the river system. The discharge of AMD water from the central basis is having an impact on the upper Klip River catchment but this has not been fully investigated as discharges from the plant are not continuous. It is expected that the planned discharge of up 85Mg/day will be fully operational by mid-2016 following which further investigations will be undertaken. Page | 2 Mining activities in the lower reaches of the Rietspruit catchment are also contributing to the AMD impacts of the Klip River catchment. This is particularly noted at sample points R1, R4, R5 and R6. Overall, the water quality of the Klip River catchment is relatively good apart from the above noted issues. Ekurhuleni MM 8.5 At E1, E2 and E3 at Elsburgspruit there was non – compliance in E coli due to main sewer failure as a result of sewer collapses and blockages which is about to be replaced by 3 millions. The connection of the pipe towards Elsburgspruit, they have done Ekurhuleni MM diversion and the infrastructure is on-going. The outfall sewer from Littleton passing on Ramaphosa informal settlement is been upgraded to accommodate the high flow. Some of the structural damage will cost 8.6 million going to the Waterval WWTW. The construction will start early July this year. Sewer blockage and vandalism of the sewerline are the great challenges on the operational part. Heidelburg Road the first phase towards Dekema is almost complete. Phase two from Huntersfield the consultant is finalizing the contactor. Further down at Moleketi there was sewer blockage that caused pollution on the Nataspruit, but will be cleaned as time goes on. NAT 3 - Natalspriut down to Huntersfield there was challenges with the stormwater. 8.6 Erwat Erwat Dekema works there was a challenge with Ecoli due to new supply of disinfectant. The contractor is failing to reach the response time. Rondebult - Ecoli is still high due to new supplier. Vlakplaats–ammonia has improved from the previous quarters. Dekema WWTW – There was electricity outages and this also led to non-compliance in Ecoli. Waterval all the other parameters are complying. 8.7 Midvaal Absent without apology. The forum to get someone from the municipality to attend the meetings. 8.8 Sedibeng Brewery G. Hlongwane G. Hlongwane has been appointed as the waste Manager at Sedibeng Brewery. S. Ntshangase reported that they started sampling in February and the first month of the operation there was a problem with ammonia due to aeration, since then it has improved. All the parameters are complying and meeting the licence standards except for toxicity was not done yet as they need to outsource it. Sodium is still a problem at the plant.

  • Regional Spatial Development Framework
    CHAPTER 03: REGIONAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Introduction: The Spatial Development Framework (SDF) is a key legislative mechanism that seeks to address the numerous developmental challenges of the District. A number of these challenges considered and interpreted by the SDF include: • Integrating the urban spatial form municipality created under apartheid to separate townships from economic areas; • Addressing the services backlogs for the poorest of the poor and the market-related residential development property boom; • Providing an effective and affordable district-wide public transportation network that takes into account the reliance of the low-income communities on public transport (at a greater relative monthly cost) and conversely, the dependence of middle income communities on private modes; • Balancing and facilitating market and public sector development in an effective and co-ordinated manner; optimising the use of existing resources; • Determining and communicating reasonable and effective development policies and strategies; • Investing in infrastructure in a cost-effective and proactive fashion whilst ensuring that historical backlogs are addressed. The purpose of the SDF is not to infringe upon land rights but to guide future land uses. No proposals in this plan creates any land use right or exempt anyone from his or her obligation in terms of any other act controlling land uses. The maps should be used as a schematic representation of the desired spatial form to be achieved by the in the long term. The Gauteng Spatial

Strong and growing support by sponsors and exhibitors helped create a satisfying variety which made a large part of the roughly 10000 visitors who came from far and wide stay much later than anticipated on both evenings. Stalls numbered well beyond 100 which was much better than the previous show held in 1998. As the Walkerville Agricultural Society is a non profit (Article 21) company, this year's healthy profit gets ploughed back into the 2014 show to the benefit of the whole community. Some events were exceedingly popular and should serve as a measure of the kind of events show goers want and enjoy. These include ox wagon rides on Hans Sturgeon's ox wagon dating from 1880 which took a few hundred trippers of all ages and ethnic What does the future hold? “Organisers started on the back foot this year and had to revive the show within six months,” Booyens points out.

There were concerns from stakeholders regarding how the license conditions are set and used to achieve the set Resource Quality Objectives (RQOs) and how to improve the resource class to a desired class. It was clear that both regulators and users have no clear understanding of the link between Source Directed Controls (SDCs) and Resource Directed Measures (RDMs), and how they inform each other.

  • Rivers of South Africa Hi Friends
    A Newsletter for Manzi’s Water Wise Club Members May 2016 Rivers of South Africa Hi Friends, This month we are exploring our rivers. We may take them for granted but they offer us great services. Rivers provide a home and food to a variety of animals. You will find lots of plants, insects, birds, freshwater animals and land animals near and in a river. You can say rivers are rich with different kinds of living things. These living things play different roles such as cleaning the river and providing food in the river for other animals. Rivers carry water and nutrients and they play an important part in the water cycle. We use rivers for water supply which we use for drinking, in our homes, watering in farms, making products in factories and generating electricity. Sailing, taking goods from one place to another and water sports such as swimming, skiing and fishing happens in most rivers. Have you ever wondered where rivers begin and end? Well friends, rivers begin high in the mountains or hills, or where a natural spring releases water from underground. They usually end by flowing into the ocean, sea or lake. The place where the river enters the ocean, sea or lake is called the mouth of the river. Usually there are lots of different living things there. Some rivers form tributaries of other rivers. A tributary is a stream or river that feeds into a larger stream or river. South Africa has the following major rivers: . Orange River (Lesotho, Free State & Northern Cape Provinces), Limpopo River (Limpopo Province), Vaal River (Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Free State & Northern Cape Provinces), Thukela River reprinted with permission withreprinted (Kwa-Zulu Natal Province), Olifants River – (Mpumalanga & Limpopo Provinces), Vol.
