Saldanha Municipality MUNICIPAL PROFILE Saldanha Municipality Saldanha Bay municipality forms part of the West Coast district municipality in the Western Cape Province. The municipal area is located on the south-eastern coastline. The municipality covers a geographical area of 2 015 km² and includes a coastline of 238km. In total 0.4% of the land is urban and 96.96% is rural. Overall Saldanha Bay municipality constitutes 5.8% of the entire West Coast making it the smallest municipal area in the district (Saldanha Bay IDP Review 2016/2017). The RAP project identified three informal settlements in the area: Langville Plakkerskamp, Tsitsiratsitsi and Joe Slovo. The municipality is comprised of three towns: Vredenburg, Saldanha and Langebaan. The municipality’s vision for the area is “Serve, Grow and Succeed Together”.

MUNICIPAL PROFILE: SALDANHA MUNICIPALITY INTRODUCTION The information in this municipal profile provides an overview of the informal settlements that form part of the municipal area. The settlements profiled wereLangville Plakkerskamp, Tsitsiratsitsi and Joe Slovo. The settlements were established for various reasons such The settlement’s leadership bodies do not have a transparent as backyarders seeking alternative accomodation, temporary relationshp with the municipality. Access to socio-economic relocations and in-migration from the Eastern Cape. The amenities varies between the three settlements. However, all provision of basic services in all profiled settlements is poor settlements have good access to community facilities such as and does not meet national standards. There is no maintenance churches, general shops, spaza shops, police stations and sports plan for existing infastructure in the settlements. This further facilities. diminishes the quality of life of vulnerable communities. SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY PRIORITIES Common priorities listed by the settlements included priorities to engage the communities of relevant settlements access to electricity, access to shelter or security of tenure by e.g. indicating the feasiblity of community facilities or and access to community facilities. Access to educational providing transport to health facilities. Open and transprarent and health amenities were also prevalent priorities. Some communication by the municipality can assist settlement priorities link directly to basic service provision which can communities to formulate attainable prioties and ward project be addressed through in situ upgrading. It is recommended proposals. that the municipality make use of community identified • Access to electricity EXTRACT FROM COMMUNITY • Access to shelter or security of tenure The community wants access to employment opportunities • Access to community facilities due to high unemployment. The municipality needs to engage people more often about plans and promises. • Access to education and health facilities Community of Tsitsiratsitsi. DEMOGRAPHIC SUMMARY 57HH/Ha Density (HH/Ha) The average household density of the 3 settlements is 57 - indicating a medium density settlement.

The seasonality of DENSITY OF STRUCTURES (STRUCTURES PER HA) (STRUCTURES DENSITY OF STRUCTURES farm labour means that densities of households can increase and the demand for services fluctuates. Langville Joe Slovo Tsitsiratsitsi Plakkerskamp INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS SURVEYED IN SALDANHA PLANNING OVERVIEW All settlements have been categorised for in situ upgrading as all are located on sites suitable for long term development. The settlements reviewed are all inside the urban edge and only Tsitsiratsitsi is not zoned residential - it has an undertermined zoning. These settlements can be upgraded and formalised by providing bulk infrastructure, especially electricity, and by assisting with top structure provision or tenure security. This will go a long way towards establishing settlements where communities enjoy good levels of well-being and dignity. 100% 66% 100% 0% settlements which are settlements which settlements categorised settlements municipally owned are zoned for in situ upgrading categorised for relocation Act 9 area (tenure security issues - land reform projects) Relocation None of the settlements are situated on Act 9 areas. None of the settlements have been categorised for relocation. However, the community of Tsitsiratsitsi mentioned municipal Private land (ESTA issues - possible expropriation/land reform plans to relocate them but this was not evident in the or eviction) infomation provided by the municipality. None of the settlements are located on private land. Servitudes (Important for partial or total relocation) None of the settlements are located on any servitudes. HAZARDS AND RISKS The most common hazards are poor street networks and or egress routes. This will improve ambulance response times inadequate sanitation. The municipality needs to install as well as policing in the area due to clearer navigation. concrete storm water channels, specifically to mitigate Tsitsiratsitsi settlement contains the most hazards due to its waterborne diseases. Inadequate sanitation services compound close proximity to a garbage dump and its location on sinking these risks and directly contribute to the spread of waterborne soil. Hazards can be mitigated through providing adequate basic diseases. Therefore, adequate sanitation services must be services and investing in infastructure. provided. A poor street network is common in informal settlements because residents do not plan the location of their structures. This can be addressed through incremental, in-situ upgrading with an initial phase of reblocking the settlement, i.e. creating clear and defined pedestrian and vehicular access Page 3 MUNICIPAL PROFILE: SALDANHA MUNICIPALITY BASIC SERVICE PROVISIONS Service assessment The settlements surveyed have poor access to basic services, importantly alleviating the huge sanitation and water shortfalls; namely water and sanitation shortfalls, large amounts of illegal secondly by providing legal access to electricity and lastly by electrical connections, no legal access to electricity, irregular implementing individual maintanence plans that are tailored to waste collection and poor maintance of basic infrastructure.

Abstract. Phytoplankton succession in relation to some physico- chemical characters of some water bodies at Jeddah Coast (Saudi Arabia) was studied for one year (2004). The sampling program included four different areas, North Obhour, Technology area, Down Town area and South Jeddah Area. Water samples were analyzed for some physico-chemical parameters (Temperature, pH, S‰, Dissolved +2 +2 Oxygen (DO), Calcium (Ca ) & Magnesium (Mg ), Nitrite (NO2), Nitrate (NO3), Ammonia (NH3), Reactive Orthophosphate (PO4) and Reactive Silicate (SiO3) as well as phycological parameters (Phytoplankton communities and Chlorophyll a). The Jeddah Coast was found to be oligotrophic ecosystem in some areas, while some of these areas were mesotrophic with high phytoplankton density such as the Down Town and South Jeddah areas. The results showed that, the high phytoplankton density attaining the maximum of 2623.2 X 103/m3 at Down Town area during spring and the minimum of 118.7 X 103/m3 at Technology area during winter. Seventy three species belonging to 73 genera and 5 groups were recorded. Dinophyceae was the first dominant group forming 43.8% of the total phytoplankton communities followed by Bacillariophyceae 27.9%.

The subject property is currently zoned Fishing Industry and will be rezoned to General Residential to accommodate the proposed development. The property is vacant, but the demolished remains of a fishing factory are still visible on the proposed site. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the property is severely degraded, but the northern and western portion is still relatively undisturbed The following findings were made: A shell midden on top of a small dune hummock was documented directly alongside the fence line in the northern portion of the site. Shellfish occurs in open patches on the dune top and is also scattered fairly widely over the surrounding area. Stone tools in quartz, silcrete, quartzite and indurated shale were counted, but these are spread very thinly and unevenly over the area.

The samples range in age from the late Holocene to the terminal Pleistocene. δ15N values are not strongly correlated with δ13C, indicating different drivers of variation in the two isotopes. δ13C and δ15N values are lower between 154-487 cal. BP, which spans the Little Ice Age, compared with 744-1 042 cal.
