    NCOP PROFILE OF MUNICIPALITIES There are three forms of financial misconduct that usually lead to public institutions receiving audit outcomes that are not satisfactory and these are unauthorised expenditure, fruitless and wasteful expenditure and irregular expenditure. Unauthorised expenditure is expenditure that was incurred without having been budgeted for; Irregular expenditure is expenditure that was incurred in violation of the requirements of legislation, such as the MFMA; and Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is expenditure that was incurred in a manner which could have been avoided had reasonable care been taken.

The basins considered in Accepted 30 September 2011 this work are those which host the Witwatersrand and Pongola, Ventersdorp, Transvaal and Waterberg Available online 8 October 2011 strata. Many of these basins can be considered to have formed as a response to reactivation along lineaments, which had initially formed by accretion processes during the amalgamation of the craton Keywords: Kaapvaal during the Mid-Archaean. Faulting along these lineaments controlled sedimentation either directly by Witwatersrand controlling the basin margins, or indirectly by controlling the sediment source areas.

  • The Archaeology and Technology of Metal Production in the Late Iron Age of the Southern Waterberg, Limpopo Province, South Africa
    THE ARCHAEOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY OF METAL PRODUCTION IN THE LATE IRON AGE OF THE SOUTHERN WATERBERG, LIMPOPO PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA Town Cape of UniversityFOREMAN BANDAMA Thesis Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Archaeology UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN November 2013 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgementTown of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Cape Published by the University ofof Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University DEDICATION To our little princess, Princess Bandama Town Cape of University i | P a g e ABSTRACT The inception of metallurgy in southern Africa was relatively late, compared to other regions in Africa, and as a result, this part of the sub-continent was mistakenly thought to have been less innovative during the Iron Age. On the contrary, dedicated materials analyses are showing that starting from the terminal first millennium AD, southern Africa is replete with innovations that include the growth of state systems, specialised long-distance trading, the re-melting of glass beads, the working of ivory, and the weaving of cotton using ceramic spindle whorls. Additionally, the appearance of gold and tin production, against a background of on-going iron and copper metallurgy, has been interpreted by some as intimating innovation in metal technology. While some research energy has been invested into these novelties, there has only been incidental concern with the innovation in tin and bronze production.

  • Shakati Private Game Reserve in Malaria-Free Waterberg/Vaalwater -Only 2 Hours from Pretoria
    Shakati Private Game Reserve in Malaria-free Waterberg/Vaalwater -only 2 hours from Pretoria Waterberg. There is so much to see and do…. Waterberg is the area of magnificent views, panoramic savannah and bush landscapes, spectacular mountains and cliffs, crystal clear streams and an unbelievable abundance of wild animals, trees and flowers. Game viewing in the Waterberg area is absolutely fantastic and recognised among the best in the country –hence the Waterberg is one of the preferred eco-tourism destination in South Africa. Furthermore Waterberg with its unspoilt nature has been designated as UNESCO “Savannah Biosphere Reserve” –the first in Southern Africa. And Waterberg is MALARIA-free… Marakele National Park Shakati Private Game Reserve is hidden away on the lush banks of the Mokolo river in the deep heart of the untamed Waterberg bushveld paradise. Near Vaalwater and only 2 hours drive from Pretoria. Time spent at Shakati Game Reserve is about getting away from city life, work, traffic and stress. It is about peace and tranquillity, clean fresh air and clear skies with the brightest stars you have probably ever seen. It is about being quiet and listen to the jackal calling at night, to the paradise flycatcher singing in the morning. It is about seeing and walking with the animals, touching the fruits of the bush willow -and wonder about nature. It is about quietly sitting at the water hole watching game and taking life easy Its time to leave the city sounds, the hustle, the bustle and find some place that speaks to you who you really are inside.
