  • Descendants of William Park and Mary Martin
    Park Family History The following pages have a highly speculative attempt to reconstruct the history of the family of William Park, of Bath, Belfast and Quebec, who died in Bath, Somerset, England in 1844. It is known that his daughter Matilda married Richard Vause in Bath in January 1852, and that Matilda's sister married Frederick Hawkins on the same day, and that his wife was Mary Martin, daughter of John Martin, a merchant of Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. Most of the other information is based on circumstantial evidence and “connecting the dots”. Recently several people have helped by giving new dots to connect, but fresh evidence may show that they could be connected in entirely different way, so please do not add this information to your family tree yet. I've been helped a great deal by ShaunJ of the Rootschat website, who found some of the dots. I have compiled this family tree as a research tool only, as a working hypothesis to see where other family members might fit in. I will send this to some other family members who may be interested. If you have any more information on this family, please let me have it. If you would like me to pass on anything else I may find, please let me know. Please note the date on these documents. I am continuing my research and so the information here may be out of date and superseded within a few days, so please get in touch with me for the latest information.

The development will also include a multi- purpose court, nursery school, a kid playground and guard house at the entrance. The total footprint of development is 2.2Ha. The project is located at 30°09’32.12”S and 30°03’52.98”E Ward 4 Portion B of Erf 0 Stuartstown. It is evident that this project will require further environmental investigations to ensure that the project execution adheres to the relevant environmental legislation and the appointment of an independent environmental assessment practitioner to conduct an environmental impact assessment was therefore necessitated. - Applicable legislation The information contained in the Terms of Reference provided by Ingcweti Project Management, and a preliminary review of the existing environmental legislation, suggest that the proposed development may result in a significant impact on the environment.

  • 7.3 Mooi System
    7 . 3 MMM OOI SSS Y S T E M 7 . 3 . 1 GGG REATER MMM POFANA BBB ULK WWW ATER SSS UPPLY Planning No. 105.24 Project No. Project Status Detailed Feasibility (as at January 2011) Project Description Sustained housing development and tourism related activities are increasing the water demand at several nodes along the R103 road between Lions River (uMngeni Local Municipality) and Mooi River (Mpofana Local Municipality). This growth is beginning to stress local water resources and water supply infrastructure in the area. It has been identified that a regional bulk water supply scheme is required to ensure that the area has a reliable water supply that will sustain this growth into the future. The proposed scheme ( Figure 7.4) will obtain raw water from the soon-to-be constructed Spring Grove Dam on the Mooi River for a WTP to be situated adjacent to the dam. From here potable water will be pumped to two command reservoirs. The first reservoir will be located at Bruntville in Mooi River. This reservoir will serve the greater Mooi River area and will have the potential to supply the Muden/Rocky Drift area. The Mooi River WTP and Rosetta WTP can then be decommissioned. A link pipeline to supply the Vaalekop community has also been investigated. The second reservoir will be at Nottingham Road which will then supply Balgowan, Lidgetton and possibly Lions River. There is also a link pipeline to Mount West. The scheme is likely to be built in phases to gradually increase the supply area. The scheme together with all the proposed phases is indicated in Figure 7.5.

  • The Hills Above Pietermaritzburg: an Appreciation
    THE HILLS ABOVE PIETERMARITZBURG: AN APPRECIATION P.G. Alcock May 2014 The residents of Pietermaritzburg are well-aware that the hills overlooking the city define Pietermaritzburg in a scenic context, and give it a particular sense of place. The optimum vantage point for viewing these hills is from the southern and eastern parts of the city, looking across the bowl-shaped Msunduzi River Valley.1 It is rather surprising that not much attention has been paid to the hills of Pietermaritzburg in articles and books about the city.2 A partial exception was a chapter in a volume published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Pietermaritzburg in 1988.3 Specific details regarding the higher-lying land above the city are again sparse in this book, excluding maps showing the general topography, the suburbs and the natural vegetation. The book incorporates some early paintings of the settlement (circa the mid-1850s) with various hills in the background. These paintings reveal an appreciation of the terrain which does not appear to have been carried forward to more recent times.4 The hills have a special resonance, given the contrasting climates to the north and to the south of Pietermaritzburg. Many of the northern slopes are cool and well-watered with spectacular views and with remnants of verdant indigenous vegetation (although dominated by commercial forests) whereas the southern slopes are hot and dry and have limited ambience. Two commonly-touted names for Pietermaritzburg are the “The City of Choice” and perhaps more appropriately “The Green City”. In keeping with an environmental theme are the names “The City of Flowers” as well as “The Garden City”, and in a different context “The Heritage City”.

  • Inauguration Ceremony for the Mayor for Umtshezi Municipality at the Town Hall, Estcourt, on 29 October 2004 at 14H00
    1 Speech delivered by Health MEC and Leader of Government Business, Dr Zweli Mkhize at the Inauguration Ceremony for the Mayor for UMtshezi Municipality at the Town Hall, Estcourt, on 29 October 2004 at 14H00. Today is indeed a great day for the people of Estcourt. Today’s inauguration marks the beginning of a new dawn for the communities of Estcourt... We hope the new beginning brings with it closure to a most unpleasant episode in the politics of this area. It is the hope of many people that today’s event marks the beginning of an era in which service delivery, and not self serving, will be paramount in the minds of all the leaders of this area. One has watched with sadness the recent events unfolding in this Municipality, events which culminated with the tragic death of Councillor Stanley Chetty. One had hoped that our country, and our province in particular, had long gone past the tradition of killing people if they do something we do not like, if they belong to a political party that we do not like, but from the events of the past few weeks it would appear that it is not so. I can say right now that this is unacceptable and that it is a situation that we will not tolerate as the government of this province. The right of freedom of association is enshrined in the Bill of Rights of our Constitution. Section 18 states that everyone has the right to freedom of association. Section 19 (1) of the Bill of Rights further states that: Every citizen is free to make political choices, which include the right a.
