DAFF FEMALE ENTREPRENEUR AWARDS PROGRAMME The DAFF Female Entrepreneur Awards Programme is a joint effort between the Na- tional Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), provincial depart- ments of agriculture and the private sector. The programme seeks to acknowledge, encourage and increase the participation of women, young women and women with disabilities in the sector. It rewards the efforts and contribution of women in food security, job creation, economic growth and poverty alleviation. Over the years it has become an empowerment platform that recognises the entrepreneurial skills of women, youth and women with disabilities in the sector.

  • Community Drinking Water Fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: a Feasibility Study
    Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility study. A dissertation submitted for the degree MSc (Dent) in Community Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape. Student: Gilbert J Dennis Student Number: 860991 Supervisor: Dr Neil Myburgh November 2002 Declaration I declare that the Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility Study is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Gilbert J Dennis November 2002 2 Abstract The prevalence of dental decay is high among lower socio-economic groups in the Southern Cape and Karoo region. 70 - 80% of State employed dentists' time in this region is spent on attempting to reduce the pain and sepsis within the communities for which the primary treatment modality is extraction of the tooth under emergency conditions. In developing countries the prevalence of dental decay is still high. There is a general downward trend of dental decay in developing countries; and it is associated with combinations of exposure to fluoridated water and/ or other forms of fluoride exposure (e.g. in fluoridated tooth paste), the provision of preventive oral health services, an increase in dental awareness through organized oral health education programs and the readily available dental resources. This study looked at the feasibility of implementing community water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region by describing the primary drinking water sources, the population distribution around these sources and the actual levels of fluoride found in the water samples.

  • Kannaland Municipality Date
    PREPARED FOR: NCOP Visit Week 26 - 30 October 2020 TOPIC: KANNALAND MUNICIPALITY DATE: 20 OCTOBER 2020 Municipal code: WC041 Wards: 4 District: Garden Route Country: South Africa Prepared by: Unathi Lasiti Reviewed by: Ben Daza Background The Provincial Week is one of the key mechanisms established by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) to achieve its mandate of representing the country’s provinces in the national sphere. It was established in line with the provision of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act No. 108 of 1996), which obligates the NCOP to “ensure that provincial interests are taken into account in the national sphere of government”. The main aim of the NCOP Provincial Week is to: Ensure that provincial delegates to the NCOP keep in touch with developments and challenges facing their provinces; Afford delegates to the NCOP an opportunity to interact with their respective provinces and report on their activities in the NCOP with the aim of obtaining new mandates on issues to be placed on the national agenda; Provide a forum for the exchange and sharing of ideas around service delivery issues and challenges facing the provinces in fulfilling their roles; and Create an opportunity for the NCOP and provinces to work together in seeking solutions and developing new ways to address the challenges facing local government and ensuring that the local government sphere responds adequately to the mandate of delivering services to communities. In light of the above, the NCOP permanent delegates and Members of the WCPP will embark on a NCOP Provincial Visit Week in Kannaland Municipality from 27 – 30 October 2020, as per the attached Programme.
