    Eastern South Africa II 10th - 24th February 2017 (15 days) Trip Report Southern Carmine Bee-eater by Gareth Robbins Trip report by compiled by tour leader, Gareth Robbins Photos by David Cook, Gareth Robbins & Adam Riley Trip Report – RBT SA - Eastern South Africa II 2017 2 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Tour Summary Today was our arrival day and some of us just spent a leisurely time birding in the garden at our guest house in Kempton Park, Johannesburg. There were a few bird feeders placed in the garden, which attracted good numbers of Red- headed Finches, Cape and House Sparrows and Laughing Doves. Karoo Thrush and Grey Go-Away-Birds were also seen in the garden and Western Cattle Egrets were seen flying overhead. In the evening, we all met at dinner and discussed the program for the first full day of the tour. We left our guest house before sunrise and drove in the direction of Pretoria. Just outside the city, we stopped for a quick coffee at a petrol station and here we saw Cape Wagtail, House Sparrow, African Palm Swifts, Southern Masked Karoo Thrush by Gareth Robbins Weavers and Southern Red Bishops. Shortly after the sun had risen, we had arrived at the start of the famous Zaagkuildrift Road. We all immediately noticed that the area had received good rain, as the grass was at least one meter tall. Some of the first birds we saw were the Red-backed and Lesser Grey Shrikes, Scaly-feathered Weavers, Zitting and Desert Cisticolas, as well as a few Rufous-naped Larks. A little further down the road, we managed to see Rattling Cisticola, Lesser-striped Swallows, Magpie Shrikes, Speckled Mousebirds and we also had great looks at a Diederik Cuckoo.

In reviewing our 2010/11 IDP and subsequently drafting our IDP and Budget respectively for 2011/12 to 2013/14 and beyond, we have consulted quite extensively with our communities in all our constituent Local Municipalities through their varying groupings using our IDP Representative Forum and other IGR structures institutionalised within our Municipality. Culminating from the state of the Nation and state of the Province Addresses respectively, and aforementioned consultation and engagements with varying stakeholders the following Key Development objectives were identified as pertinent in bringing about improved quality of life for our entire populace:- Facilitate creation of more jobs and descent work; Form strategic partnerships in fighting hunger and poverty; Advocate for access to quality education for all our citizens; Ensure proper health care for all our communities; Ensure sustainable development of all rural communities within our jurisdictional area; Harness the building of safer and secure communities To date resounding success has been realised in number of areas, where many of our people are living decent lives as a result of the services provided by the District in collaboration with its social partners. Whilst much has been achieved, there is still much that needs to be done to reverse and ultimately eradicate undesired consequences of underdevelopment, inequality, unemployment, HIV/AIDS and poverty.

  • Proposed Extension of the Ash Disposal Facilities at Camden Power Station
    Proposed extension of the ash disposal facilities at Camden power station Social Impact Assessment Prepared by: Ptersa Environmental Management Consultants PO Box 915 751 Faerie Glen 0043 Contact person: Ilse Aucamp Prepared for: Zitholele Consulting (Pty) Ltd February 2012 Ptersa Social Impact Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eskom is currently operating the Camden Power Station as part of its electricity generation fleet. Throughout the operational life of the power station, ash is being generated at the station. The ash is being disposed of at an authorised ash disposal site within the Camden Power Station premises. The current ash disposal site is reaching the end of its capacity, and it is anticipated that a new ash disposal facility will be required by approximately mid 2014. In order to establish a new ash disposal facility within close proximity to the power station, a site selection exercise was undertaken. The site alternatives for the proposed project are located at the existing Camden Power Station approximately 12 km outside the town of Ermelo in the Mpumalanga Province. The area is in the boundaries of the Msukaligwa Local Municipality in the Gert Sibande District Municipality. It is a rural area with high levels of unemployment and poverty. There are a number of key stakeholders in the project. The farming community can be divided in three groups. The first group is the people who own the affected properties and make a living from the properties – either by rental income or income earned by actively working the land. The second group is the people who rent the affected properties and work the land to supplement their income.
