It is estimated that about 6 000 households have access to an inadequate level of water supply and close to 3 000 households have no formal service of water supply. Msukaligwa Local Municipality (MLM) has been considered for funding assistance through the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG) programme with a main objective being to consider the creation of regional bulk water supply schemes in the MLM area which would ultimately ensure a sustainable and reliable water supply for all the communities of MLM for the next 20 years. This multi-scheme project is known as the Bulk Water Supply Ermelo/Wesselton, Breyten/Chrissiesmeer, Nganga/Warburton, Lothair/Silindile Scheme situated within the Msukaligwa Local Municipality (MLM). This multi-scheme project comprises two sub schemes. The one sub scheme entails the clustering of Breyten/Kwazanele; Chrissiesmeer/Kwachibikulu; Warburton/Nganga and Lothair/Silindile into one regional scheme, supplying them with water from Torbanite Dam augmented from the Westoe, Morgenstond and Jericho Dams via the Upper Komati Pipeline tap-off from the Camden-Kriel Pipeline close to the Camden power station. The second sub scheme entails the supplying of Ermelo/Wesselton with water from the Brummer and Douglas Dams augmented from the Westoe, Morgenstond and Jericho Dams via the Camden-Kriel Pipeline at DWA Rietfontein reservoir. The Camden-Kriel Pipeline is also known as the Usutu-Vaal Transfer Scheme Pipeline or the Vaal River Eastern Subsystem (VRESS). The project will serve a projected population of 161,160 people in the greater Ermelo/Wesselton; Breyten/Kwazanele; Chrissiesmeer/Kwachibikulu; Warburton/Nganga and Lothair/Silindile areas by 2033 for an estimated VAT inclusive project cost of R 499,590,873. This Implementation Ready Study (IRS) Phase 3 Report summarises key elements of the project. The objectives and requirements for the Implementation Ready Study (IRS) Phase 3 Report are included in the checklist below and are described in the referenced sections of this Report. The table below has been used as a checklist and the topics listed in the table have been described in more detail in the IRS Phase 3 Report by way of a short summary on each issue.

    Eastern South Africa II 10th - 24th February 2017 (15 days) Trip Report Southern Carmine Bee-eater by Gareth Robbins Trip report by compiled by tour leader, Gareth Robbins Photos by David Cook, Gareth Robbins & Adam Riley Trip Report – RBT SA - Eastern South Africa II 2017 2 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Tour Summary Today was our arrival day and some of us just spent a leisurely time birding in the garden at our guest house in Kempton Park, Johannesburg. There were a few bird feeders placed in the garden, which attracted good numbers of Red- headed Finches, Cape and House Sparrows and Laughing Doves. Karoo Thrush and Grey Go-Away-Birds were also seen in the garden and Western Cattle Egrets were seen flying overhead. In the evening, we all met at dinner and discussed the program for the first full day of the tour. We left our guest house before sunrise and drove in the direction of Pretoria. Just outside the city, we stopped for a quick coffee at a petrol station and here we saw Cape Wagtail, House Sparrow, African Palm Swifts, Southern Masked Karoo Thrush by Gareth Robbins Weavers and Southern Red Bishops. Shortly after the sun had risen, we had arrived at the start of the famous Zaagkuildrift Road. We all immediately noticed that the area had received good rain, as the grass was at least one meter tall. Some of the first birds we saw were the Red-backed and Lesser Grey Shrikes, Scaly-feathered Weavers, Zitting and Desert Cisticolas, as well as a few Rufous-naped Larks. A little further down the road, we managed to see Rattling Cisticola, Lesser-striped Swallows, Magpie Shrikes, Speckled Mousebirds and we also had great looks at a Diederik Cuckoo.

    GERT SIBANDE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY FINAL IDP 2011/12 TO 2013/14 A DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY STRIVING TO EXCEL IN GOOD GOVERNANCE AND QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE Gert Sibande District Municipality i Foreword by the Executive Mayor It gives me great pleasure to present the Draft Integrated Development Plan for the 2011/12 to 2013/14 Financial Years, in the last year of this Current Term of Office. In reviewing our 2010/11 IDP and subsequently drafting our IDP and Budget respectively for 2011/12 to 2013/14 and beyond, we have consulted quite extensively with our communities in all our constituent Local Municipalities through their varying groupings using our IDP Representative Forum and other IGR structures institutionalised within our Municipality. Culminating from the state of the Nation and state of the Province Addresses respectively, and aforementioned consultation and engagements with varying stakeholders the following Key Development objectives were identified as pertinent in bringing about improved quality of life for our entire populace:- Facilitate creation of more jobs and descent work; Form strategic partnerships in fighting hunger and poverty; Advocate for access to quality education for all our citizens; Ensure proper health care for all our communities; Ensure sustainable development of all rural communities within our jurisdictional area; Harness the building of safer and secure communities To date resounding success has been realised in number of areas, where many of our people are living decent lives as a result of the services provided by the District in collaboration with its social partners. Whilst much has been achieved, there is still much that needs to be done to reverse and ultimately eradicate undesired consequences of underdevelopment, inequality, unemployment, HIV/AIDS and poverty.

After a seasonal stretch in South America, we’re excited to share about the progress amongst the Indian Tribes. With Grant from NZ in Colombia Presently here now in April until May 2015, we’re on tour in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, sharing about reaching the unreached Indian Tribes in the Amazon jungle and supporting reached communities. Makuna Chiefs You’re welcome to invite us to share at any venue in your community or any other gathering you can think of! We do this with music, video, photo projection, props from the Amazon and testimonies of “Saved from the claws of death.” (See contact details below.) The pictures in this newsletter give you a good idea about what is happening.

Preliminary observations suggest invasions are also of great academic interest because they provide that the common myna’s distribution is closely tied to that of quantifiable, relatively short-term examples of ecological and humans, but empirical evidence for this hypothesis is lacking. biogeographical processes.
