These buildings are an important indication of our level of civilisation and a convincing proof for a judgmental critical world - that for more than 300 years a structured and proper Western civilisation has flourished and exist here at the southern point of Africa. The visible tracks of our cultural heritage are our historic buildings…they are undoubtedly the deeds to the land we love and which God in his mercy gave to us. 1 2 Fig.1.

  • Tulbagh Renosterveld Project Report
    BP TULBAGH RENOSTERVELD PROJECT Introduction The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) is the smallest and richest floral kingdom of the world. In an area of approximately 90 000km² there are over 9 000 plant species found (Goldblatt & Manning 2000). The CFR is recognized as one of the 33 global biodiversity hotspots (Myers, 1990) and has recently received World Heritage Status. In 2002 the Cape Action Plan for the Environment (CAPE) programme identified the lowlands of the CFR as 100% irreplaceable, meaning that to achieve conservation targets all lowland fragments would have to be conserved and no further loss of habitat should be allowed. Renosterveld , an asteraceous shrubland that predominantly occurs in the lowland areas of the CFR, is the most threatened vegetation type in South Africa . Only five percent of this highly fragmented vegetation type still remains (Von Hase et al 2003). Most of these Renosterveld fragments occur on privately owned land making it the least represented vegetation type in the South African Protected Areas network. More importantly, because of the fragmented nature of Renosterveld it has a high proportion of plants that are threatened with extinction. The Custodians of Rare and Endangered Wildflowers (CREW) project, which works with civil society groups in the CFR to update information on threatened plants, has identified the Tulbagh valley as a high priority for conservation action. This is due to the relatively large amount of Renosterveld that remains in the valley and the high amount of plant endemism. The CAPE program has also identified areas in need of fine scale plans and the Tulbagh area falls within one of these: The Upper Breede River planning domain.

  • Chapter Four a Needs Analysis for Health Interventions – Case Study of Kayamandi
    CHAPTER FOUR A NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR HEALTH INTERVENTIONS – CASE STUDY OF KAYAMANDI 4.1 Introduction In the 1980s, the WHO emphasised that health and well-being of individuals are closely connected with social, cultural, physical, economic and other factors inside living areas or towns (Burlington, 2005). Against this background, it can be assumed that individuals living and growing up in extremely impoverished settings should therefore have the greatest need for health interventions that will enhance and strengthen their health and well-being. In regard to the intervention presented in this thesis, and undertaken in a very impoverished community, a needs analysis was outlined beforehand to 1) identify prevalent risks and resources in the specific setting, 2) immure the intervention in its surrounding and 3) adequately adjust the life-orientated modules for its participants. The information for the needs analysis was drawn from regular field trips and field reports, an extensive literature review (e.g. maps, official statistics, published and unpublished articles), and photographic documentation. The methodology for the needs analysis is described in chapter 6. The following section describes the particular case of Kayamandi (translated as ‘pleasant home’) in order to highlight the social, health, security and educational infrastructures in a disadvantaged community6 in South Africa that have resulted from historic, socio-economic, as well as political processes in the country. 4.2 The History and Geographical Development of Kayamandi The town Stellenbosch is located 30 kilometres east of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province. It is the second oldest town (founded in 1679) in South Africa (Dennerlein & Adami, 2004), and historically a centre of Afrikanerdom during Apartheid in which the university played a central role in educating the Apartheid elite.

Groundwater Assessment. Prepared by G Papini of Groundwater Consulting Services as part of the Breede River Basin Study. DWAF Report No. PH 00/00/2502. BREEDE RIVER BASIN STUDY GROUNDWATER ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The objectives of this study were to assess the significance and distribution of groundwater resources in the Breede River catchment, estimate the amount of abstraction and degree of stress it may be causing and to indicate the scope for further development of groundwater resources. This was achieved by a review of all available literature and obtaining yields and quantities from all significant schemes. The characterisation of important aquifers and assessment of the groundwater balance (recharge versus consumption) allowed for identification of further groundwater potential. The geohydrology of the Breede River catchment is controlled by the occurrence of the rocks of the Table Mountain Group (which form the mountainous areas), the occurrence of high levels of faulting and folding in the syntaxis area of the upper catchment and the variable rainfall, being highest in the mountainous areas in the west. These factors result in a catchment with highest groundwater potential in the west, where recharge, yields and abstraction potential are greatest and the quality is the best. As a result of these factors, the western half of the catchment is also the area with the greatest groundwater use.

Finding a new identity for a township club – the case of the Mighty 5 1 Star in Stellenbosch Sylvain Cubizolles* Laboratoire DIMPS, De´partement STAPS, UFR SHE, Universite´ de La Re´union This article analyses how football membership has been transformed in Kayamandi, a township situated on the outskirts of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It focuses on the rationales behind membership in the Mighty 5 Star, a Kayamandi amateur club created in 1972, in order to understand the changing interrelationships between the club and the neighbour- hood. Based on participatory observations, written sources published by the club on the internet, as well as interviews, this article discusses the various membership processes between the club and the players from 1972 to 2011, characterising the social and urban rationales that have structured and organised them, and situating those rationales, whenever possible, in the history of the political and social changes in South Africa since 1972.
