    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE STUDIES Vol 10, No 1, 2018 ISSN: 1309-8055 (Online) THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT Daniel Francois Meyer, North-West University, South Africa [email protected] ─Abstract ─ ─Abstract ─ Globally, local economic development (LED) is recognised as a strategic process that assists with the acceleration of economic development in local regions, in both developed and in developing countries. Economic development practitioners have a need for user-friendly assessment instruments and tools to analyse and compare economic development in regions. The aim of the study was therefore to develop and apply an instrument to assess the economic development potential of a region since such a comprehensive strategic and practical instrument does not exist. Various types of regions, from national to local, could be assessed and compared using the instrument. The development potential (DP) of a region has been formulated as the aggregate of all local resources (R) multiplied by the aggregate of local capacity (C); therefore DP = R x C. Extensive research has lead to the identification of variables contributing to the extent of the local resources and capacity. The methodology included the identification of variables representing capacity and resources and the allocation of values for each variable through a quantitative survey method which included 380 local business people. The instrument was tested in a developing region in South Africa known as the “Vaal-Triangle” region, which includes the municipal areas of Emfuleni, Metsimaholo and Midvaal. In testing and applying the instrument in the study region, it was found that all three areas had low economic development indexes of below 30 (where the maximum is 100).

Corporates such as ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) and Seriti continue with impunity their everyday business of polluting society that impacts upon people’s health and well-being. Government is a co-conspirator for they fail to enforce laws that are there to protect the people of the Vaal.

  • The Vaal River Inquiry Provisional Report
    Final Report of the Gauteng Provincial Inquiry Into the Sewage Problem of the Vaal River 17 February 2021 The Vaal Report Executive Summary The South African Human Rights Commission (‘the Commission’) had been alerted to online and print media reports, published during July and August 2018, reporting that raw sewage, from the Emfuleni Local Municipality (‘the Municipality’)’s Rietspruit Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vanderbijlpark, the Leewkuil Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vereeniging and other areas within the Municipality, had for weeks and months been leaking into and polluting the Vaal River and the Rietspruit. In addition to the raw sewage polluting major and essential bodies of water, the media reports stated, amongst other things, that: the main sewers in Vanderbijlpark were blocked and that raw sewerage was flowing into people’s yards and properties. In September 2018, in order to test the veracity of the media reports, the Commission’s Gauteng Provincial Office conducted an inspection-in-loco at certain sites within the Emfuleni Municipality, and observed: raw sewage flowing in a small stream that cut across the Emfuleni Golf Estate; two burst sewerage pipes on the banks of the Rietspruit that runs through the Emfuleni Municipal area; defective bio-filters at the Rietspruit Waste Water Treatment Works; a clogged sewerage manhole at the Sharpeville Cemetery and children swimming in, and consuming, polluted waters in the area of a school. Having established a prima facie violation of human rights in the Emfuleni Municipality, regarding the flowing of raw, untreated sewage flowing in the streets, homes, graveyards and also flowing into the Vaal River, the Dam, the Barrage and the Rietspruit (referred to collectively as ‘the Vaal’), and acting within its legislative mandate, the Commission established an Inquiry.

Strong and growing support by sponsors and exhibitors helped create a satisfying variety which made a large part of the roughly 10000 visitors who came from far and wide stay much later than anticipated on both evenings. Stalls numbered well beyond 100 which was much better than the previous show held in 1998.

Some events were exceedingly popular and should serve as a measure of the kind of events show goers want and enjoy.
