PROJECT DESCRIPTION South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) is proposing the construction, rehabilitation and reconstruction of the National Route N2 road from the Bulembu Airport turnoff to the Breidbach intersection near King William’s Town in the Eastern Cape Province. This will include the following safety improvements on the R63 and the N2: Reconstruction of a section of the N2 from Bulembu Airport to the Buffalo River Bridge in King Williams Town. Major works to the Buffalo River Bridge. Major works to the Tshoxa River bridges and the rail over road bridge at KM 1.89 as well as extensive earth and drainage works, layer works and surfacing. Rehabilitation of the N2 through King Williams Town along a route from the Buffalo River Bridge along Cathcart Street, Buffalo Street; Grey Street and Alexandra Road to the Zwelitsha turn-off, including improvements to drainage, road repairs, and new surfacing. Rehabilitation of the R63 from Alexandra Road in King Williams Town to Bhisho, including improvements to drainage, road repairs and new surfacing. Construction of a new interchange at Breidbach, which includes a reinforced concrete structure with the necessary road works. Formalization of pedestrian, taxi and bus facilities along the route. Figure 1.1: Map of the proposed layout of the N2 Road Upgrade. 3 BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT The following table indicates the route where sections of the road deviate from the existing N2 road.

BIOPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Climate The study area is King William’s Town in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The climatic conditions are therefore assumed uniform throughout King William’s Town. The King William’s Town area primarily receives summer rainfall (Figure 2.1a). This usually amounts to approximately 502mm of rain per year (SA Explorer; 2015). The area receives the majority of its rainfall during the month of March (±74mm), whereas the average rainfall amounts to 8mm in the month of July. The average midday temperature ranges from 19.7°C in winter to 26.7°C during the summer months (Figure 2.1b). The area is coldest during the month of July when the average night-time temperature is 6.5°C (Figure 2.1c). Figure 2.1: (a) Graph of the average monthly rainfall; (b) Graph of the average monthly midday temperature; and (c) Graph of the average monthly night-time temperature (SA Explorer; 2015). 2.2 Geology The King William’s Town region primarily consists of steep slopes of river valleys in highly dissected hills and moderately undulating plains. Mudstones derived from the Beaufort Group of the Karoo Supergroup as well as Jurassic Dolerite Suite intrusions (South Africa Geology II). Figure 2.2: Geology Map of the Proposed N2 Road Upgrade site. 5 BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT 2.3 Topography The topography of the King William’s Town region ranges from 360m above sea-level to 560m above sea-level, as indicated in Figure 2.3. The lower-lying areas are indicated by a darker shade of brown, such as the Buffalo River system. On the other hand, the higher-lying areas are a lighter shade brown. Figure 2.3: Topography Map of the Proposed N2 Road Upgrade site. 2.4 Vegetation (as per Ecological Report) The two vegetation types that the project area passes through (Bhisho Thornveld and Buffels Thicket) are both classified by SANBI as ‘least threatened’, as indicated in Figure 2.4. Both these vegetation types in the study area have been transformed and are infested by a large amount of alien vegetation. The area of the study site classified as CBA 2 was found to be infested with numerous aliens and was therefore not considered pristine. The remainder of the study site was classified as CBA 3 or Functional Landscapes (as per ECBCP), this was ground truthed and so the area will be considered low sensitivity. The area had no excessively steep slopes, however stormwater management will play a large role in ensuring the integrity of the area is maintained and that no long-term erosional issues arise in the future. Please refer to the aquatic impact assessment for information regarding all aquatic environments found onsite. Although no animal SSC were observed onsite, there is still a possibility of some SSC being present. This will especially be the case surrounding wetlands, streams and rivers. Due to the fact that the N2 passes through King William’s Town itself and will therefore have an impact on the surrounding residents, it is imperative that these residents are consulted during the EIA Public Participation Process. 6 BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT Figure 2.4: Vegetation Map of the N2 Road Upgrade site. 2.5 Hydrology Figure 2.5 below indicates the wetlands which occur along the proposed N2 road upgrade route as well as the placement of a 500 metre buffer around the wetlands.

  • Buffalo City Municipality State of Energy Report Table of Contents
    BUFFALO CITY MUNICIPALITY SSSTTTAAATTTEEE OOOFFF EEENNNEEERRRGGGYYY RRREEEPPPOOORRRTTT J28015 September 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Importance of Sustainable Energy to BCM South African cities are key players in facilitating national sustainable energy policy and legislative objectives. The 15 largest cities in South Africa take up 3% of the country’s surface area, and yet they are responsible for 40% of the country’s energy consumption. This means that cities must play a major role in facilitating the achievement of national sustainable energy targets (for example the national target of 12% energy efficiency by 2014). Buffalo City, being among the nine largest cities in South Africa, and the second largest in the Eastern Cape, must ensure that it participates in, and takes responsibility for, energy issues affecting both its own population, and that of the country as a whole. Issues associated with the availability and use of energy in South Africa and the Eastern Cape are more pressing than ever before. Some of the more urgent considerations are related to the following: Climate Change: Scientific evidence shows without doubt that the earth’s atmosphere has been heating up for the past century (global warming), and that this heating is due to greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of the fossil fuels (such as coal and oil products) from which we derive our energy. Some impacts of climate change that scientists have predicted will affect Southern Africa (including BCM) are: • More disasters related to severe weather events; • Longer and drier dry periods, leading to drought; • More runaway fires; • More intense flooding; • Sea-level rise; • Threats to food security and human health; • Loss of biodiversity; • Water supply problems; and • Related economic impacts Climate change is already causing negative impacts on people and ecosystems in South Africa.

    BUFFALO CITY METRO MUNICIPALITY SOCIO ECONOMIC REVIEW AND OUTLOOK, 2017 Buffalo City Metro Municipality Socio-Economic Review and Outlook 2017 Published by ECSECC Postnet Vincent, P/Bag X9063, Suite No 302, Vincent 5247 www.ecsecc.org © 2017 Eastern Cape Socio Economic Consultative Council First published April 2017 Some rights reserved. Please acknowledge the author and publisher if utilising this publication or any material contained herein. Reproduction of material in this publication for resale or other commercial purposes is prohibited without written permission from ECSECC. Buffalo City Metro Municipality Socio-Economic Review and Outlook 2017 Foreword ECSECC was founded in July 1995 as an institutional mechanism for partnership between government, business, labour and the NGO sector to address underdevelopment and poverty in the Eastern Cape. The local government sector and the higher education sector joined ECSECC in 2003. ECSECC’s mandate of stakeholder co-ordination and multi-stakeholder policy making stems from the realization that Government cannot defeat poverty, unemployment and inequality on its own, but needs to build deliberate and active partnerships to achieve prioritized development outcomes. ECSECCs main partners are: the shareholder, the Office of the Premier; national, provincial and local government; organised business and industry; organised labour; higher education; and the organised NGO sectors that make up the board, SALGA and municipalities. One of ECSECCs goals is to be a socio-economic knowledge hub for the Eastern Cape Province. We seek to actively serve the Eastern Cape’s needs to socio-economic data and analysis. As part of this ECSECC regularly issues statistical and research based publications. Publications, reports and data can be found on ECSECCs website www.ecsecc.org.
