BIGM Project supporting Kouga through Prince Edward County partnership with action steps Outlined in the Community and Economic Development strategy. It will also suggest how SALGA, FCM, South African and Canadian Municipalities are to engage moving forward on the implementation during and post COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives: Regularly review BIGM performance and use the results to reinforce SALGA, FCM and Municipal direction to improve product/service delivery, and create new innovative ways of delivering the program. • Municipalities to share their exchange experiences to date – lessons learnt; • Implement a targeted, proactive economic development program supporting business retention, expansion, and attraction • Business Retention and Expansion Model (BR+E) • Convert lessons learnt into clear projects/programmes of municipal plans; • Using ICT to improve municipal performance, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; • Municipal capacity to give vigorously effect to projects/programmes. Local Governments are often the first line of connection to the communities they serve. During the coronavirus pandemic, they are being enlisted to enable and enforce the federal and state government’s restrictions in regards to their communities needing to physical distance and self-isolate. Many of our essential services are delivered by the local councils, and often involve a high degree of interaction with vulnerable members in our communities through their provision of services such as community services and waste management. Today’s digital workplace has changed the way leaders and managers need to lead and manage their dispersed workforces. Municipalities are quickly realising that they are not well-equipped from a technology and workforce mobility perspective. While they are working hard to fast track changes that can be made immediately, this internal effort is impacting all areas of their workforce from customer service, back office, community workers and field services. Municipalities now need to review their priorities, redesign their approach and resource allocation to determine how services can be delivered and how resources can be redirected into areas that are now facing increased demand. There is also an increasing realisation at the executive and political level that the priorities placed on investment in these areas for the longer term is now more important than ever if councils are going to be able to manage effectively and efficiently through situations such as this in the future. The County-wide Wayfinding Signage Program won the Planning and Strategic Development Award, while the Successful Careers Video Series received the Workforce Development and Resident Attraction Award. The County also received the Community Economic Development Award for its support of the community- driven County Food Hub project. 3 Kouga Local Municipality South Africa and Prince Edward County, Canada Programme Director: Cllr Mzimkhulu Njadayi Working Group Chairperson Economic Empowerment and Jobs Creation Time Items Speaker 13:30 - 14:00 SA Zoom meeting procedures Mrs. Clarissa Augustine 07:30 - 08:00 CA Project Coordinator 14:00 - 14:05 SA Opening and Welcome Cllr Mzimkhulu Njadayi 08:00 - 08:05 CA Working Group Chairperson 14:05 - 14:10 SA Purpose and objective of the partnership workshop Mr Tebogo Matlou 08:05 - 08:10 CA BIGM Project Manager 14:10 - 14:15 SA Overview of Kouga Local Economic Development Cllr Frances Baxter (LED 08:10 - 08:15 CA focusing on Business Retention and Expansion & Tourism) (BR+E) 14:15 - 14:20 SA Introductions of the panelist by Moderator Mr Marshall Gallardo, 08:15 - 08:20 CA FCM Program Manager 14:20 - 14:50 SA Moderator: Mr Marshall Gallardo, FCM Panelist 08:20 - 08:50 CA Municipalities to share their exchange experiences to • Mayor Horatio date Hendricks • Impact of covid-19 & keeping employees safe & • Mayor Steve healthy including community engagements.

It consists of nine towns, namely, Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp, St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis, Oyster Bay, Patensie, Hankey, Loerie and Thornhill, as well as various smaller settlements and agricultural nodes. While Kouga has traditionally been characterised by economic activities largely focused on tourism and agriculture, the area has been positioning itself as one of tne energy hubs of South Africa. Two wind farms are already in operation at Jeffreys Bay and Oyster Bay, and more are in the pipeline. Prince Edward County, Canada Prince Edward County, The county can help citizens find a location for their business, and introduce applicant to the resources available through their community partners. We work in collaboration with our Development Services Group (Building & Planning) to provide investors and the public, a one-window approach to access municipal services relating to economic and community development. Business Retention and Expansion (BR+E) programs are an opportunity for an in-depth look at the health and vitality of a sector within the economy. Done on a sector-by-sector basis, with updates to each sector taking place every few years, the process involves conducting confidential interviews with business owners and operators to gather insights into their needs, challenges and growth potential. 5 Kouga Local Municipality South Africa and Prince Edward County, Canada International Partnerships & Programmes Team & Component 1000 Project Leaders Ms Wela Zozo, Acting Mmatlou Baloyi - Ms Vuyolwethu.Nkohla Clarissa Augustine PM Chikosi Deputy Director: LED Project Coordinator Economic Development Advisor: Social Support & Planning Development Ms Winnie Mangaynyi Ms Emelda Thobakgale Ms Khaya Gumede Mr Duma Magxwalisa Project Manager Project Coordinator Project Administrator LED Manager Sarah Baartman District 6 Kouga Local Municipality South Africa and Prince Edward County, Canada 8.

  • Moving People and Goods in the Gamtoos Valley: a Revealing Case Study
    MOVING PEOPLE AND GOODS IN THE GAMTOOS VALLEY: A REVEALING CASE STUDY van der Mescht, J. Department of Civil Engineering, Port Elizabeth Technikon, Private Bag X6011, Port Elizabeth, 6000 South Africa. Tel: +2741 5043550. Fax: +2741 5043491. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Primary transportation infrastructure in the Gamtoos Valley, a fertile agricultural district located to the west of Port Elizabeth, consists of a single-lane surfaced road namely Route 331, as well as a narrow gauge railway line. While the road pavement is in a poor condition due to lack of maintenance and extensive damage caused by an increasing number of heavy vehicles, the rail service is under-utilised and its future uncertain. The railway is used exclusively for the conveyance of export fruit via the Port Elizabeth harbour and is only operational for the duration of the citrus season that lasts from the beginning of April till the end of October. This paper reports on a preliminary investigation into the possibility of shifting passengers and freight from road to rail in order to relieve the pressure on the road system, to optimise the use of existing transportation facilities and to preserve and extend the working life of valuable road and rail assets. The logistics of hauling both imported and exported goods were analysed to establish what portion thereof could probably be moved by rail instead of by road. Other issues that were looked at included the offering of rail concessions to private companies, the introduction of a passenger service between Loerie and Patensie and the impact that current policies of the national rail operator, Spoornet, have on the provision of a satisfactory service to existing and potential rail clients.

  • Palaeontological Specialist Assessment: Combined Field-Based and Desktop Study PROPOSED KAREEDOUW-DIEPRIVIER 132 Kv TRANSMISSION
    1 Palaeontological specialist assessment: combined field-based and desktop study PROPOSED KAREEDOUW-DIEPRIVIER 132 kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT, HUMANSDORP MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT, EASTERN CAPE: REVISED ROUTE. John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] August 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eskom are proposing to construct approximately 35 km of overhead 132 kV powerline from the Dieprivier Substation through to the Kou-Kamma Substation near Kareedouw in the Humansdorp District Municipality, Eastern Cape. The project also entails decommissioning of existing powerlines, the construction of a new substation at Dieprivier, the extension of the existing Kareedouw sub-station (Kou-Kamma) as well as the construction of new minor roads. The proposed development footprint on the southern and northern sides of the Langkloof is underlain by Palaeozoic bedrocks of the Table Mountain Group and Bokkeveld Group (Cape Supergroup). Three of the formations involved – the Late Ordovician Cederberg Formation as well as the Early Devonian Baviaanskloof and Gydo Formations – are known elsewhere within the Cape Fold Belt for their important records of marine and terrestrial fossils. However in the Humansdorp region the bedrocks have generally suffered high levels of tectonic deformation and chemical weathering, seriously compromising their fossil heritage. No fossil remains were observed during a one-day palaeontological field assessment, neither within the Palaeozoic bedrocks nor in the overlying Late Caenozoic superficial sediments (colluvium, alluvium, pedocretes, soil etc). On the basis of the current field assessment as well as the paucity of previous fossil records from the Humansdorp region it is concluded that the palaeontological sensitivity of the Palaeozoic bedrocks here is low due to high levels of tectonic deformation (e.g.

  • Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study For
    Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa Using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data Pilot Study – Catchment Management Area 15 by D van Bladeren, P K Zawada and D Mahlangu SRK Consulting & Council for Geoscience Report to the Water Research Commission on the project “Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data” WRC Report No 1260/1/07 ISBN 078-1-77005-537-7 March 2007 DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION During the past 10 years South Africa has experienced several devastating flood events that highlighted the need for more accurate and reasonable flood estimation. The most notable events were those of 1995/96 in KwaZulu-Natal and north eastern areas, the November 1996 floods in the Southern Cape Region, the floods of February to March 2000 in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape provinces and the recent floods in March 2003 in Montagu in the Western Cape. These events emphasized the need for a standard approach to estimate flood probabilities before developments are initiated or existing developments evaluated for flood hazards. The flood peak magnitudes and probabilities of occurrence or return period required for flood lines are often overlooked, ignored or dealt with in a casual way with devastating effects. The National Disaster and new Water Act and the rapid rate at which developments are being planned will require the near mass production of flood peak probabilities across the country that should be consistent, realistic and reliable.

The sustainability of such initiatives will therefore depend very much on how successfully risks associated with these hazards can be managed.
