Housing Plan Final 1 CHAPTER ONE (A) BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION The SDM, a category C municipality, consists of 6 category B municipalities, namely //Khara Hais, Mier, Kgatelopele, !Kheis, Tsantsabane, and Kai !Garib. There is a District Management Area (DMA) consisting of areas in the Kalahari, Swartkopdam private farmlands in the Kenhardt and surrounding areas, as well as the communities of Riemvasmaak. The Riemvasmaak community is situated 60km west of Kakamas namely Mission and Vrede Valei. The administrative head quarter of the SDM is in Upington (//Khara Hais). The area of about 120 000 km, is bordered by the Orange River in the south, the Kalahari in the north and by Namibia in the west. The Council consists of 18 councillors, of which the Mayor and Speaker are fulltime councillors. The Mayoral Committee is the principle committee of the SDM. Other committee are: Institutional Committee; Socio - Economic Committee; and Infrastructure Committee. The Municipal Manager is the head of administration, which comprises the following Departments, namely: Financial Services; Corporate Services; Community Development Services; and Spatial Planning and Development Services. There is also a department in the Office of the Executive Mayor. The housing section resorts under the Community Development Services Department and is politically situated under the Socio-Economic Committee. The situational analysis highlights a number of challenges in the path of providing sustainable human settlements, which challenges are: • Insufficient funding The conditional grant provided by the National Department of Housing is insufficient to eradicate the housing backlog by 2014. • Capacity in department and municipalities 2 The municipalities do not have the requisite technical skills for implementation of the plan. • Backlog in basic services Housing needs to be delivered alongside basic services for sustainable human settlements. The current backlog of basic services must be addressed by municipalities. • Incomplete projects • Road infrastructure There is no road infrastructure plan that addresses the development of road infrastructure for new housing developments. • Poorly capacitated contractors. • Poorly constructed houses • Inputs of sector departments Sector departments such as SAPS, Education, Community Safety & Security, Roads & Transport, Health, Social Services need to provide development inputs. • Accuracy and reliability of data for the purpose of development The municipalities do not have accurate and reliable data for planning. • Lack of suitable land for housing development These challenges reinforce the notion that the HSP should address the following overall key areas, namely: - List of housing projects and budget implications - Developing strategies to meeting housing objectives - Identification, surveying and prioritization of informal settlements - Identification of well located land 3 - Identification of areas for densification - Linkages between housing and urban renewal - Integration of housing, planning and transportation framework - Linkages between housing and bulk services, social amenities, economic opportunities - Ensure security of tenure, - identification of appropriate tenure options having regard to the capacity of beneficiaries and the municipality - Intergovernmental relations In addition to those key areas housing development initiatives should: - Encourage the creation of increased job opportunities eg. through infrastructure development, housing construction. - Develop a job creation strategy. - Use labour intensive construction and other methods in furtherance of EPWP principles. - Enhance on-site housing material production, where possible Build opportunity to develop the required capacity to plan, implement and manage the labour-intensive housing programmes. - Supply chain management processes to incorporate job creation initiatives). - Employment of youth, woman and disabled - Use of emerging contractors - Compulsory training and development The SDM must take up the challenge of providing housing and related services of which the majority of the black population has been denied access. The HSP, as a component of the IDP is a vehicle through which socio-economic disparities should be addressed. The HSP is therefore linked to the concept of strategic and action planning, in order to bring about the desired development in the local, provincial and national context. It is therefore essential that the HSP be informed by the plethora of legislation and policies that provide a basis for effecting our developmental state. 4 (2) PRINCIPLES/AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The SDM has a constitutional responsibility to provide its inhabitants with access to adequate housing. The HSP is the embodiment of a commitment to translate the right of access to adequate housing into houses and other material gains. These principles, aims and objectives of the HSP represent standards that inform all efforts to give effect to the right of access to adequate housing, by pursuing the values of freedom, equality and human dignity. It recognises that South Africa is a sovereign democratic state based on the mentioned constitutional values. Further, recognizing that effecting the right of access to adequate requires a coherent and comprehensive approach, requiring the input of all stakeholders. 2.1 PRINCIPLES • Trust, openness, transparency and equitable distribution of housing resources • Mutual respect for the capacity and capabilities of stakeholders from different sectors and recognition of their limitations • Valuing the distinct and complementary role of stakeholders form different sectors • Respect the diversity and interdependence of each in housing and human settlement delivery • Integrity, responsibility, ethical practice, accountability and effective leadership for delivery in the process and outcomes • The involvement of beneficiaries and other stakeholders in planning, policy development and other pertinent decision making processes • Root-Out corruption and maladministration in housing provision • Promotion of the establishment of socially and economically viable communities and safe and healthy conditions for human settlement while ensuring that residential developments do not to impact adversely on the environment • Housing development shall promote equal access to opportunities as well as promote equity in respect of race, gender, religion and creed • Integrating social, economic, institutional, physical and environmental issues in development of sustainable human settlements whilst 5 ensuring that new developments lead to the integration of urban and rural areas in support of one another • Residential development shall be economically, fiscally, socially and financially affordable and sustainable and houses shall have a market value • Ensuring that affected communities actively participate in the development process • Ensuring that development incorporates capacity building programmes that promote the utilization of local skills and resources as well as the participation of previously disadvantaged communities • Only suitable land for human occupation shall be considered for residential/housing development • Land for housing shall be ideally located next to economic opportunities to lessen the transport cost for residents going to work • Land made available or considered for residential development shall be serviceable • Higher densities shall be encouraged to ensure the economical utilization of land and services • New housing developments shall comply with the minimum quality standards • Promoting utilization of environmentally friendly resources and designs that focus on energy saving • Creating synergy between man-made and ecological systems through the continuation of green spaces in human settlements and the utilization of environmentally friendly resources and designs that focus on energy saving • Ensuring that the developmental needs and activities of people living in settlements are catered for and that opportunities for people to achieve their full potential through their own efforts are maximised 2.2 AIMS • To provides the SDM with a strategic plan for housing development for the next five years. • To provide the SDM with well-informed information to support allocations for provincial and national funding. • To provide planners and decision makers at provincial level with adequate information to make decisions on resource allocation. 6 2.3 OBJECTIVES • To improve skills/knowledge of housing officials in development and planning • The fast-tracking of the provision of formal housing within human settlements for the poorest of the poor and those who are able to afford rent and or mortgages • To fast track availability and affordability of appropriately situated land for housing development • To remove administrative blockages that prevent speedy housing developments and • To ensure consumer education/understanding in all housing development projects • Utilising housing as an instrument for the development of sustainable settlements, in support of social structuring • To improve financial capacity to undertake housing development projects/programmes • To enhance coherency in development and planning • To enhance stakeholder/public participation in housing development and planning . 2.4 METHODOLOGY The process of compiling the HSP involves: • Information gathering The SDM provided assistance to local municipalities in its area of jurisdiction.

    Palaeontological Impact Assessment for the proposed sand mining operation farm Jannelsepan northeast of Louisvale, !Kai Garib Municipality, Northern Cape Province Desktop Study For Van Zyl’s Blasting en Grondwerke CC 25 February 2018 Prof Marion Bamford Palaeobotanist P Bag 652, WITS 2050 Johannesburg, South Africa [email protected] Expertise of Specialist The Palaeontologist Consultant is: Prof Marion Bamford Qualifications: PhD (Wits Univ, 1990); FRSSAf, ASSAf Experience: 30 years research; 22 years PIA studies Declaration of Independence This report has been compiled by Professor Marion Bamford, of the University of the Witwatersrand, sub-contracted by Van Zyl’s Blasting en Grondwerke CC, South Africa. The views expressed in this report are entirely those of the author and no other interest was displayed during the decision-making process for the Project. Specialist: Prof Marion Bamford Signature: 1 Executive Summary Van Zyl’s Blasting en Grondwerke CC approached the palaeontologist to conduct a desktop Palaeontological assessment for the proposed sand mining site along the Donkerhoekspruit on the farm Jannelsepan, north east of Louisvale, !Kai Garib Municipality, Northern Cape. The proposed mining area lies on Kalahari sands and ancient volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Namaqua-Natal Province and in particular the Jannelsepan Formation migmatitic amphibolites and calc-silicates and the amphibolites of the Dagbreek Formation. These rocks are too old for body fossils and of the wrong type, being igneous. The sand to be mined is alluvial and would not contain fossils either. As far as the palaeontological heritage is concerned the project can continue and no further assessment is required.

  • Siyanda EMF Draft Status Quo Report
    SIYANDA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK – EMF REPORT Executive Summary Introduction Environomics, leading a multi disciplinary team, was appointed to undertake the compilation of an Environmetnal Management Framework (EMF). It was a joint project between the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT), the Northern Cape Department of Toursim, Environment & Conservation (NCDTEC) and the Siyanda District Minicipality (SDM). The purpose of the project is to develop an EMF that will integrate municipal and provincial decision-making and align different government mandates in a way that will put the area on a sustainable development path. Description of the area The Siyanda District covers an area of 102,661.349km2 in the Northern Cape Province and lies on the great African plateau. It falls within four physical geographical regions namely: . The Kalahari; . Bushmanland; . the Griqua fold belt; and . the Ghaap Plateau. The Kalahari basin stretches northwards from just north of the Orange River into Botswana and Namibia. It is a flat, sand covered, semi-desert area, on average between 900m to 1200m above sea-level. It is characterised by a number of large pans to the north of Upington, by dry river beds (such as the Kuruman, Nossob and Molopo Rivers) and by dunes which strike north- west to south-east. The region is underlain by Karoo rocks and rocks belonging to the tertiary Kalahari Group. Outcrops are rare. Bushmanland is an arid, level sub-region of the Cape Middleveld to the east of the Namaqua Highlands. It is underlain by granitic Precambrian rocks on the western and northern sides and by Karoo rocks towards the south-east.
