In terms of Section 84 of the Municipal Structures Act, 1992 clarified in the Government Gazette of 05 December 2002, the “Confirmation of the status quo in respect of provision of housing”, forms a major mandate of the Hlabisa Municipality.” The housing component forms part of the development objectives of the Hlabisa Municipality and the ultimate goal of the municipality is the provision of housing to more 12000 deserving households. Throughout this document this aspect of housing component has been dealt with in great detail. This took the following format: Consideration of population demographics, which served to highlight varying information on Hlabisa community, was done. However of great concern is the rapid increase in Aids cases as well as death rates, which threatens the social fiber of the community as it appears to affect economic active group. In preparation of this housing plan, using demographics, it was established that Hlabisa municipality has a great task ahead of providing housing to about 12335 households over a period of five years. The majority of these beneficiaries is unemployed and would require full subsidization. In addition to the above it was established that Hlabisa Municipality is purely a rural municipality hence the development of the housing process should be insitu and be rural housing so as to avoid urban sprawl that is discouraged by the National Department of Housing. Break down of housing projects per Traditional Authority was done and these were broken down into phases in terms of implementation. Estimates based on the current housing subsidy bands was done and it is estimated that a total of R350 million would be required by the municipality in order to implement the proposed housing projects. 7 Ultimately, the municipality should be self-sustaining hence the need for collection of rates for services rendered; in the planning process rental stock has been included as one form of collection of rates. As a provider of basic service to the community it serves, the municipality has to take into consideration the plight of the disabled the orphans as well as those suffering or affected by HIV/AIDS, this has been done by including housing projects which specifically address these special needs. One of the mandates of the municipality is to develop the communities economically by identifying anchor sectors and increase in spending towards local economic development. Among the areas visited was AbakwaHlabisa Traditional Authority, Mdletsheni Traditional Authority and Mpukunyoni Traditional Authority and a few others were identified as having potential for cattle farming, Piggery, chicken farming, and community garden. Finally a proposed management structure for the projects has been included, which ensure proper monitoring and implementation of the proposed housing projects. 8 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Greetings, This strategic housing document seeks to indicate the current housing situation within Hlabisa Municipality. Secondly it highlights whether the Municipality has got any projects currently underway or not. Thirdly, the housing plan focuses on all other issues that affect or would affect provision of houses to the community of Hlabisa in a phased way so that eventually every deserving beneficiary gets a proper shelter, which forms part of his/her right enshrined in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of South Africa. Since housing is a fifth priority within the IDP of Hlabisa Municipality, it is imperative to note that the first priority is interlinked to housing and can not be addressed without first attending to this issue i.e. “The study recommended four basic development approaches in respect of housing. The first of these is to address the backlogs in basic services, particularly water and sanitation. Added to this is the poor surface quality of roads in the rural areas”. (IDP Review 2006/2007). The Municipality is of the opinion that the issue of addressing backlog must be intertwined with the skills development and economic upliftment hence sustainable housing development programmes highlighted in priority two. This document does not therefore substitute the IDP document but seeks to expand on the housing component, thus scheduling housing projects classifying them in different categories and spreading their implementation over a period of five years, thus addressing the aspect of shortage of more than 12000 housing units, in so doing creating more than 20 000 jobs through housing construction and thus generating an income of more than R200 Million for the Hlabisa community. As this product is an input from all stakeholders i.e. The Hlabisa Municipality, the Community and the Provincial Housing Department, we would like to express our sense of gratitude at your constructive criticism and contributions. Dr Ntombela’s hard work and knowledge of the community and structures is also acknowledged. The outgoing Ms. Zulu’s readiness to provide vital information and her persistence, consistence her will and drive is 9 highly appreciated and believe that their involvement in this project has contributed something to their body of knowledge. This strategic plan would be revisited every year and be adjusted in accordance with the National, Provincial requirements, District requirements Municipality requirements and community needs as well as the IDP document. An advertisement for comments on the hosing plan (which was left at municipal housing office, reception area), was put on the Ilanga Newspaper for three weeks. However no comments were received hence the finalization of the housing plan. Thank you, ____________ ______________ ___________ Municipal Manager Corporate Services Chairperson Director Housing Portfolio Committee 10 1.0 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES An environmental analysis of Hlabisa has been carried out in detail with the objective of developing a housing plan that would guide the municipality in planning and implementing its housing projects in order to over come the housing backlog it is currently faced with. The process followed in this development included consideration of the following elements amongst others; Exploring various housing development packages within Hlabisa Conducting a brief topographical survey Establishing housing demand within the municipality Establishing availability of infrastructure to support various housing projects. Determining the extent of the area available for housing activities; Identifying and verify perceptions and views about government rural hosing in rural areas; Prioritizing housing projects Preparation of this housing plan is a requirement in terms of the revised procedures established in Chapter 3 of the National Housing Code. This is also in line with the Municipal Systems Act of

  • VOLUME 1 Main Thesis
    Engaging the Fertile Silence: Towards a Culturally sensitive Model for dealing with the HIV and AIDS Silence. By Benson Okyere-Manu Supervisor: Prof. Steve De Gruchy Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal VOLUME 1 Main Thesis November 2009 Pietermaritzburg DECLARATION I declare that this thesis, unless specifically indicated in the text, is my own original work which has not been submitted in any other University. ________________________ ________________ Benson Okyere-Manu Date University of KwaZulu-Natal 2009 i ABSTRACT This thesis critically examines one of the major hindrances to dealing adequately with the HIV and AIDS problem facing Africa – the issue of silence. The study has examined the hypothesis that there are cultural factors underlying the silence that surrounds the disease, which when investigated and identified, will provide cues for breaking the silence and a way forward for dealing with the HIV and AIDS epidemic. The study utilises the concept of ‘cultural context’ proposed by Hall and ‘dimensions of culture’ postulated by Hofstede, to investigate the cultural reasons behind the HIV and AIDS silence among the Zulu people in and around Pietermaritzburg in the Kwazulu Natal province of South Africa. Testing these theories in the field with participants in a community-based HIV and AIDS Project called the Community Care Project (CCP) the study found that cultural contexts strongly influence silence around HIV and AIDS. In terms of dimensions of culture, the area was found to exhibit high power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, high collectivism and is feminine in nature in terms of assertiveness, but having high gender inequality (high masculinity in terms of gender egalitarianism).

  • APOSTOLIC VICARIATE of INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description the Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma Is in the Northeastern Part of the Republic of South Africa
    APOSTOLIC VICARIATE OF INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description The Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma is in the northeastern part of the Republic of South Africa. It includes the districts of Ingwavuma, Ubombo and Hlabisa. The Holy See entrusted this territory to the Servite Order in 1938 and the Tuscan Province accepted the mandate to implant the Church in this area (implantatio ecclesiae). Bishop Costantino Barneschi, Vicar Apostolic of Bremersdorp (now Manzini) asked the American Province to send friars for the new mission. Fra Edwin Roy Kinch (1918-2003) arrived in Swaziland in 1947. Other friars came from the United States and the Apostolic Prefecture of Ingwavuma was born. On November 19, 1990 the territory became an Apostolic Vicariate. After the Second World War the missionary territory was assumed directly by the friars of the North American provinces. By a decree of the 1968 General Chapter the then existing communities were established as the Provincial Vicariate of Zululand, a dependency of the US Eastern Province. At present there are 10 Servite friars who are members of the Zululand Delegation OSM. Servites The friars of the Zululand delegation work in five communities: Hlabisa, Ingwavuma, KwaNgwanase, Mtubtuba and Ubombo; there are 9 solemn professed (2 local, 2 Canadian and 5 from the US). General Information Area: 12,369 sq km; population: 609,180; Catholics: 23,054; other denominations: Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists: 150,000; African Churches 60,000; non-Christian: 300,000; parishes: 5; missionary stations: 68; 8 Servite priests and one local priest: Father Wilbert Mkhawanazi.
