Papendorp Section 5.18 page 306 5.18 PAPENDORP (population: + 200) (IDP 2012-2017) 5.18.1 SPATIAL ANALYSIS, see Figures 5.18.1 Sub-regional location • 9km north of Strandfontein, 16kms south of Ebenhaeser; • 22kms from Lutzville and 42kms to Vredendal; • Located in close proximity to the community’s original primary economic resource, namely fishing and near a supply of freshwater; • In 2003 Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) phased out subsistence gill net fishing in the Berg River Estuary but gave 45 permit holders in the Olifants River Estuary exemptions to continue fishing until 2013 (Anchor Environmental, Olifants River Situation Assessment p 69, April 2008); • It is now largely a residential dormitory with some subsistence fishing but social grants and work further afield is Primary economic resource is fishing in the Olifants an important source of income; and, River Estuary • Salt mining occurs further south in the estuary. Layout pattern • The settlement, although very sparse, stretches for almost a kilometre from the historic abandoned church in the north to the guest house and crèche in the south; • The main residential area occupies an approved township accessed by the main north-south route and a series of cul-de sacs; and, • Most of the approved erven to the east, away from the estuary are vacant. Urban quality • The areas is notable for its lack of trees except around the guest house; and, • Most buildings are in a poor state of maintenance and possess little architectural character except for the guest house constructed in west-coast long house cottage architecture. Challenges and potential View of estuary from village • Olifants River Estuary is considered one of the most important estuaries in South Africa especially for the maintenance of the offshore fishing resources which use the estuaries to spawn; • Its extractive uses, particularly salt mining, and commercial and subsistence net fishing should cease and non- exploitative recreational uses, particularly bird watching and recreational fishing promoted; • The entire estuary to the Lutzville causeway falls under the Coastal Management Act and it was proposed while this Act was still a Bill that the 1km coastal set back in rural areas applies around the whole area except for existing urban development and intensive agricultural areas. The latter are exempted in terms of the Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (CARA); • Note: Papendorp is on an approved General Plan so it is believed that along this section of the estuary only the urban coastal set back line of 100 metres from the high water mark apply; and, • It is interesting that, unlike Arniston around Kassiesbaai, Churchhaven on Langebaan lagoon and Hawston near Hermanus that, notwithstanding residents have full title over their properties there appears to have been little pressure from outsiders wanting holiday homes; • Development is hindered by the land falling within the Act 9 areas being owned by the State.

Recreational fishing will enable residents to put their fishing skills and knowledge to use as gullies. An important aspect of a tourism based development strategy is the successful implementation of social development programs including capacity building, entrepreneurial development and business and technical skills training. 5.18.2.1 Core landscape areas Notes • Most of Papendorp presents a harsh environment owing to its sandy roads and lack of shade trees. The main route should be paved and landscaped, Upgrade, landscape and pave main route through village with care being taken not to obscure views of the estuary from dwellings. 5.18.2.2 Urban Development Notes • There appears little need for further urban development as there are a large number of vacant plots still to be utilized; • Residents should be encouraged to upgrade their dwellings to make them suitable for tourist accommodation; and, • Maintenance should be completed on the existing guest house complex. • The upgrade to the Clanwilliam dam wall has the potential to negatively impact on the estuary and salt mine. 5.18.2.3 Heritage Areas Notes • The abandoned church should be upgraded as a tourist information centre explaining past cultural history as well as current natural environment tourism Restore and signpost places of interest opportunities. Promote village as base of low impact tourism in and around estuary- bird watching, recreational fishing MATZIKAMA MUNICIPAL SDF (12.2188) CNdV africa (Pty) Ltd. draft SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 18 April 2013 page 310 Figure 5.18.2.1 Papendorp: Spatial Development Framework MATZIKAMA MUNICIPAL SDF (12.2188) CNdV africa (Pty) Ltd. draft SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 18 April 2013 page 311 MATZIKAMA MUNICIPAL SDF (12.2188) CNdV africa (Pty) Ltd. draft SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 18 April 2013 .

  • Communal Land Tenure in Ebenhaeser, South Africa, 2012 – 2017
    PUTTING JUSTICE INTO PRACTICE: COMMUNAL LAND TENURE IN EBENHAESER, SOUTH AFRICA, 2012 – 2017 SYNOPSIS Following the 1994 transition from racial apartheid to democracy, South Africa’s government aimed to provide tenure security for the estimated 16 million black South Africans living in communal areas. But the lack of a clear legal framework applicable to most communal areas meant that progress was slow. In contrast, a viable legal framework did exist to guide tenure reform in smaller communal areas formerly known as “coloured reserves,” where a series of apartheid laws had settled people of mixed race. In 2009, land reform Minister Gugile Nkwiti designated one such area—Ebenhaeser, on the country’s west coast—as a rural “flagship” project. The aim was both to transfer land held in trust by the government to Ebenhaeser community members and to settle a restitution claim. Provincial officials from Nkwinti’s ministry, working with private consultants, organized a communal association to serve as landowner. They helped negotiate an agreement with white farmers to return land that had originally belonged to coloured residents. The community also developed a land administration plan that would pave the way for Ebenhaeser’s residents to become the legal owners of their communal territory. Leon Schreiber drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in the Western Cape, Gauteng, and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, in March 2017. Case published May 2017. INTRODUCTION At a 2009 press conference, Gugile Nkwinti, Jacob Zuma, who had

Plant Conservation Unit, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3, Rondebosch, 7701, Cape Town. T: 021 650 2483, E: [email protected] 2. Greg Nicolson Consulting, 9 Recreation Road, Muizenberg, 7945, Cape Town 3. Centre for Statistics in Ecology, Environment, and Conservation, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Cape Town, 7701, Cape Town 1 Introduction The perennial Olifants Rivers system arises in the high‐elevation Agter‐Witzenberg Valley north of Ceres and flows for over 250 km in a north‐westerly direction to its mouth near the West Coast town of Papendorp (Figure 1). Along its course to the sea the Olifants is supplemented by several smaller perennial rivers, such as the Thee, Noordhoek, Boontjies, Rondegat, Jan Dissels, and the non‐ perennial Sout. Its main tributary is the Doring River feeding in from the east at around 2/3rd’s of its length. Two significant dams, namely the Clanwilliam and Bulshoek Dams, are situated along the mid‐course of the river. The Olifants River is central to the presence and success of an extensive agricultural industry in the Olifants River basin. This mainly comprises citrus orchards, vineyards and potatoes, which require year round water. The river (and dams) also supplies water to several major towns along its length, namely Citrusdal, Clanwilliam, Vanrhynsdorp, Vredendal and Lutzville, and serves as an important focal point for water‐related recreational activities and tourism in the West Coast District.
