BACKGROUND The Knersvlakte Nature Reserve falls within the Western Cape Province of South Africa, and is 20 km north of Vanrhynsdorp, approximately 320 km north of Cape Town. The reserve is in a state of development and not all land portions are currently consolidated. The planning scope of the Knersvlakte Nature Reserve covers an area of 90 057 ha, made up of 32 land portions, all (except one portion, Uitspanrug) was proclaimed as a provincial nature reserve terms of section 23(1) of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 2003 (Act No. 57 of 2003) (NEM: PAA), on the 12 th September 2014 (Proclamation No.10/2014, Provincial Gazette No. 7307). All land parcels are owned by the World Wide Fund for Nature - South Africa and managed by CapeNature as part of a notarial lease and management agreement. The Succulent Karoo Biome is one of 25 internationally recognised biodiversity hotspots and is the world’s only arid hotspot. Within the Succulent Karoo Biome there are four centres of endemism, of which the Knersvlakte Bioregion is one. The reserve harbours 10 vegetation units with a rich diversity of plants, notably miniature succulents; most of which are highly endemic and many of conservation concern. Apart from the plant and associated animal diversity, the area is also rich in cultural historical heritage. To comply with the National Environment: Protected Areas Act No. 57 of 2003 (NEM:PAA), CapeNature is required to develop a Protected Area Management Plan (PAMP) for the KNR. The purpose of the PAMP is aligned to Section 17 of NEM:PAA “which is “to protect ecologically viable areas representative of South Africa’s biological diversity and its natural landscapes and seascapes in a system of protected areas”. In developing the PAMP for the KNR, CapeNature is striving to achieve the stated vision of ““To protect, promote and enhance the unique landscape, succulent plant diversity, wildlife and cultural heritage of the arid Knersvlakte corridor, through partnership, and respect and care to benefit future generations”. Section 39(3) of the NEM:PAA states that when preparing a management plan for a protected area, the management authority concerned must consult municipalities, other FOOTPRINT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Page 7 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT REPORT: KNERSVLAKTE NATURE RESERVE organs of state, local communities and other affected parties which have an interest in the area. Cedarberg Conservation Services (t/a FOOTPRINT Environmental Services) (FES) were appointed by CapeNature in November 2019 to facilitate the Stakeholder Engagement Process for the KNR. The Stakeholder Engagement Process was initiated on the 14 th November 2019 and was concluded on the 15 th December 2019.

FOOTPRINT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Page 9 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT REPORT KERSVLAKTE NATURE RESERVE 2. THE PROCESS OF STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT CapeNature has adapted the South African National Parks (SANParks), Stakeholder Participation (SP) process in Developing Park Management Plans. Section 39(3) of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, (Act No. 57 of 2003) states that when preparing a management plan for a protected area, the management authority concerned must consult municipalities, other organs of state, local communities and other affected parties which have an interest in the area. Section 41(2) (e) requires that the Management Plan contains procedures for public participation, including participation by the owner (if applicable), any local community or other interested party. Figure 2 : Process of Stakeholder Engagement All stakeholders must register for the process and sign the attendance registers for workshops and meetings, records of participants must be kept at all times. Additional individuals, wishing to participate in the process, must register as stakeholders and must be accommodated to ensure that the process is as inclusive as practically possible. Figure 2 shows the stakeholder participation strategy and approval process for CapeNature Protected Areas Management Plans. Any persons having direct or indirect interest or rights in a nature reserve may be considered a stakeholder. The stakeholder process will facilitate the establishment of a comprehensive Protected Area Advisory Committee (PAAC).

  • Submission on the Issue of Relative Resourcing of Police Areas
    The Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of Police Inefficient in Khayelitsha and a Breakdown of Relations between the Community and the Police in Khayelitsha Submission on the Issue of Relative Resourcing of Police Areas Jean Redpath, Community Law Centre, University of the Western Cape Summary If policing burden were distributed equally, then police human resources should be distributed through a per capita method (i.e. population size determines relative resourcing). However policing burden is not distributed equally. Any method of determining resources which deviates from the per capita method, must be checked against per capita figures for obvious anomalies. The SAPS method fails this test. A method is suggested which sees a minimum number allocated to each station, and then the remaining resources distributed according to a method which uses per capita figures to distribute most resources, but takes some account of reported crime as well as the true serious violent crime rate, as indicated by the murder rate. Introduction The issue of allocation by the state of human resources to policing is one which impinges on various constitutional rights, such as the right to safety and security of the person, dignity, life, and equality before the law, inter-related with the right not to be unfairly discriminated against. At issue is whether the distribution of state resources on policing, which impinge on the protection or realisation of these rights, is unequal to the extent that it amounts to unfair discrimination. Variations in allocations per capita are prima facie an indication of unequal distribution of resources. Where the distribution of human resources in policing is not only unequal from area to area, but areas comprising predominantly poor and black people are particularly under-resourced, indirect discrimination on protected constitutional grounds exists.

  • Section 5 Industrial Market Analysis
    Saldanha Development Zone Pre-Feasibility Analysis - Final Report _OCTOBER 2009 SECTION 5 INDUSTRIAL MARKET ANALYSIS 5.1 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 7: INDUSTRIAL ANALYSI Saldanha has developed into the largest industrial centre along the West Coast and there is further growth potential in the downstream steel manufacturing sector, agricultural sector and the mining sector, which can lead to job creation. Further growth potential in the oil and gas industries along the coast could also alter the function of the area. As a cautionary note it may be added that the town operates within a particularly sensitive marine and atmospheric environment highly vulnerable to air and water pollution. Great care will have to be taken to ensure sustainable maintenance of a healthy environment. The town is fully dependent on the already heavily taxed Berg River for its water supply - a strategically vulnerable limitation in terms of possible development. Apart from creating a vibrant industrial sector and supportive services and infrastructure, development in the region should also focus on creating a quality of life that contributes to a productive labour force and a favourable working-playing-living environment. This includes initiatives for human resource development, community empowerment, local economic development and basic infrastructure provision. In order to determine the development opportunities that can be exploited for the purpose of industrial establishment in the IDZ, it is necessary to assess the potential provided by existing economic activities in the province, as well as to identify opportunities through planned development initiatives in the country. Linked to this, are the current international market trends in product trading, the potential of establishing industries in the value chain of existing production lines and the potential of products to be manufactured competitively in South Africa (refer to Annexure A : Industrial Market Overview / Indicators).

    Bothalia 41,1: 1–40 (2011) Systematics and biology of the African genus Ferraria (Iridaceae: Irideae) P . GOLDBLATT* and J .C . MANNING** Keywords: Ferraria Burm . ex Mill ., floral biology, Iridaceae, new species, taxonomy, tropical Africa, winter rainfall southern Africa ABSTRACT Following field and herbarium investigation of the subequatorial African and mainly western southern African Ferraria Burm . ex Mill . (Iridaceae: Iridoideae), a genus of cormous geophytes, we recognize 18 species, eight more than were included in the 1979 account of the genus by M .P . de Vos . One of these, F. ovata, based on Moraea ovata Thunb . (1800), was only discovered to be a species of Ferraria in 2001, and three more are the result of our different view of De Vos’s taxonomy . In tropical Africa, F. glutinosa is recircumscribed to include only mid- to late summer-flowering plants, usually with a single basal leaf and with purple to brown flowers often marked with yellow . A second summer-flowering species,F. candelabrum, includes taller plants with several basal leaves . Spring and early summer-flowering plants lacking foliage leaves and with yellow flowers from central Africa are referred toF. spithamea or F. welwitschii respectively . The remaining species are restricted to western southern Africa, an area of winter rainfall and summer drought . We rec- ognize three new species: F. flavaand F. ornata from the sandveld of coastal Namaqualand, and F. parva, which has among the smallest flowers in the genus and is restricted to the Western Cape coastal plain between Ganzekraal and Langrietvlei near Hopefield . Ferraria ornata blooms in May and June in response to the first rains of the season .

Greenmined will at all times remain independent and will perform its obligations in terms of all relevant Acts, Regulations and Guidelines, as expected from environmental practitioners. All documentation, to date, was based on preliminary data and desktop studies as access to the study area was denied by the landowners, resulting in limited information being provided to all commenting parties. Numerous attempts and letters requesting access to the properties by the applicant was all in vain. Greenmined is unable to provide the I&AP’s and stakeholders with material information with regards to this mining right application and it is therefore clear that the relevant authorities will not be able to make an informed decision, irrespective should it be positive or negative.
