Vanderbijlpark CBD AN EVALUATION OF LAND USE AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS BY LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES WITHIN THE SEDISENG DISTRICT HUMPHREY MPHAHLELE B.A HONS (NWU) Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS (DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT) in the VAAL TRIANGLE FACULTY NORTH WEST UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: PROF EP ABABlO' I 6 u c.1. 2006 April 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This mini-dissertation is based on the research project of the Sedibeng District Municipality. Permission to use their material is gratefully acknowledged. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the policy of the municipality. The assistance, guidance, support and understanding of my supervisor, Prof, E.P Ababio is acknowledged. Sincere thanks also goes to the following persons: Ms. P Madise, my study colleague for her positive encouragement and friendly spirit. Mr M.G Seitei, my work colleague for his positive criticism and support. Ms. C.H Majola, my work colleague for her sustained interest, ideas, and especially her varied inputs that guided and assisted me immensely. Sedibeng District Municipality for their permission to produce this document. Finally, to my father Mr J. Mphahlele for his forbearance and sacrifices during my studies, and would like to bring my heartfelt appreciation to God for making everything possible. SUMMARY This study primarily serves to outline the process and issues that are likely to confront land use management within South Africa. Although cities do not share similar problems of decline, they too suffer the consequences of this apparently inexorable trend. Sedibeng District area is used as a case study for land use management problems in searching and compiling possible solutions for those problems. The study captures the needs and priorities of communities, and also forms the basis for the allocation of scarce resources for the achievements of such needs, as wet1 as setting out a strategic framework for the equitable distribution of resources while taking cognizance of time and budgetary constraints. This holistic and integrated approach ensures that all human and physical aspects are addressed to achieve viability and sustainable development. Land use management guidelines are also created to guide, coordinate and alleviate pressure on the administrative resources of local municipalities. In so doing, these ideas will be implemented and directly controlled. Such an approach is vital when dealing with limited resources and redistribution towards good social justice where no proper planning system was previously in place.

Corporates such as ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) and Seriti continue with impunity their everyday business of polluting society that impacts upon people’s health and well-being. Government is a co-conspirator for they fail to enforce laws that are there to protect the people of the Vaal.

  • The Vaal River Inquiry Provisional Report
    Final Report of the Gauteng Provincial Inquiry Into the Sewage Problem of the Vaal River 17 February 2021 The Vaal Report Executive Summary The South African Human Rights Commission (‘the Commission’) had been alerted to online and print media reports, published during July and August 2018, reporting that raw sewage, from the Emfuleni Local Municipality (‘the Municipality’)’s Rietspruit Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vanderbijlpark, the Leewkuil Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vereeniging and other areas within the Municipality, had for weeks and months been leaking into and polluting the Vaal River and the Rietspruit. In addition to the raw sewage polluting major and essential bodies of water, the media reports stated, amongst other things, that: the main sewers in Vanderbijlpark were blocked and that raw sewerage was flowing into people’s yards and properties. In September 2018, in order to test the veracity of the media reports, the Commission’s Gauteng Provincial Office conducted an inspection-in-loco at certain sites within the Emfuleni Municipality, and observed: raw sewage flowing in a small stream that cut across the Emfuleni Golf Estate; two burst sewerage pipes on the banks of the Rietspruit that runs through the Emfuleni Municipal area; defective bio-filters at the Rietspruit Waste Water Treatment Works; a clogged sewerage manhole at the Sharpeville Cemetery and children swimming in, and consuming, polluted waters in the area of a school. Having established a prima facie violation of human rights in the Emfuleni Municipality, regarding the flowing of raw, untreated sewage flowing in the streets, homes, graveyards and also flowing into the Vaal River, the Dam, the Barrage and the Rietspruit (referred to collectively as ‘the Vaal’), and acting within its legislative mandate, the Commission established an Inquiry.

    Vote 7: Local Government and Housing VOTE 7 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND HOUSING Infrastructure to be appropriated R4 058 777 000 Responsible MEC MEC for Local Government and Housing Administering department Department of Local Government and Housing Accounting officer Head of Department 1. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMME Strategic Overview There has been a shift in focus from the provision of housing to the establishment of sustainable human settlements due to the fact that previous policies to address housing did not adequately address the housing needs within the context of the brooder socio-economic needs of communities. In an effort to address this inconsistency gap, Cabinet approved the Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Human Settlements in 2004 which provides the framework to address housing needs within the context of broader socio-economic needs resulting in sustainable human settlements. The Comprehensive Plan is supplemented by the following business plans, which in turn informs the department’s infrastructure programme: • Stimulating the Residential Property Market; • Spatial Restructuring and Sustainable Human Settlements; • Social (Medium-Density) Housing Programme; • Informal Settlement Upgrading Programme; • Institutional Reform and Capacity Building; • Housing Subsidy Funding System Reforms; and • Housing and Job Creation. The following functional areas have been identified as the basis for the roll out of the infrastructure programme: • Service Delivery and Development Targets – the department will accelerate its current programmes of Mixed Housing Developments, Eradication of Informal Settlements, Alternative Tenure, Rural Housing, Urban Renewal Programme and the 20 Prioritised Township Programme to address historical backlogs in basic services, housing and infrastructure. • Capacity Building and Hands on Support – the department will strengthen its support to municipalities to ensure that the municipal capacity to deliver basic service is achieved and service delivery is realised.

  • 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.
