Moreover, the CWP differs from the EPWP unemployment, various government programmes because it is community-based and -oriented, while were implemented for skills development and to EPWP involves infrastructural development projects create work opportunities. The Expanded Public such as building roads and bridges. The work done Works Programme (EPWP) was launched as a through CWP is decided through a participatory poverty-alleviation strategy by providing temporary process that identifies ‘useful work’ that the employment through involvement in infrastructural community feels will contribute to the public good and technical projects such as building roads, and improve the community’s quality of life, while dams, sewerage systems, storm water drains and EPWP projects are state-driven. bridges.3 EPWP participants were provided with 100 days of full-time work within major infrastructural Some studies have been conducted to assess and projects run by various government departments, evaluate the effectiveness of the CWP in alleviating mainly the Department of Public Works.

  • Demographic Projections
    Demographic Projections This section represents a summary of the demographic projections and statistics utilised in understanding the situational analysis for the SHSUP. A detailed report was submitted in the first Phase of the SHSUP and guided the findings and future processes of the plan. Estimated Population / Household Growth In developing the SHSUP with a longer-term time horizon, the City has utilised a demographic projection that was developed in conjunction with the CSIR. Supplementary inputs have been made by the lead Project Team’s associate, Demacon. The projections and “headline” statistics were the basis of the modelling component of the SHSUP and were utilised in the development and testing of the model. Tables 3 and 4 illustrate the anticipated growth of population and households between 2010 and 2030. There were three scenarios considered, a Base, Low and High rate of growth. For the purposes of the model, the Base scenario was selected as the most appropriate scenario for future growth. The projections of this Base scenario suggest that the population would grow from 3.7 million to 4.3 million within the 20 year time period. In terms of household growth, this translates into an additional 460,000 households (29,500 people / 23,300 households per annum). What is important to note is the large discrepancy between the high and low projections. In terms of the population count, this differs by as much as 2 million (representing a 36% population growth between 2010 and 2030 on the High projection) and a 2% increase on the low

    CATALYTIC PROJECTS SUMMARY FACT SHEET PROJECT NAME Syferfontein LOCALITY MAP _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ April 2016 Technical Report Completed September 2016 Fact Sheet Completed CATALYTIC PROJECTS SUMMARY FACT SHEET PROJECT NAME Syferfontein LAND CONDITION Greenfield DEVELOPER Gauteng Province CLASSIFICATION Project Not Ready PROVINCE Gauteng MUNICIPALITY Westonaria The land development area is located in the south-western extents of Gauteng Province, to the west of the N1 and south of the N12 freeways. It forms part of a cluster of predominantly residential developments including Kagiso, Leratong, Lufhereng, Soweto, Protea Glen, Lenasia, Lawley, Ennerdale, Orange Farm, Evaton and Sebokeng, most of which are part of the City of Johannesburg. The project is located within the jurisdiction of Westonaria Local Municipality, more specifically to the south of Bekkersdal settlement. The objective of Syferfontein Mixed Housing Development is to create a new city in Westonaria that provides for a sustainable mixed use, mixed income and mixed density city with capacity for 60 128 housing opportunities. The development will cater for the population growth and influx experienced in the West Rand and south Gauteng, and enhance integration between Westonaria PROJECT and the City of Johannesburg(CoJ). DESCRIPTION The development is regarded as an economic intervention in the area because it will draw economic activities to an area with current lack of infrastructure and services. The bulk of the development will comprise of medium to higher density residential development, and supplemented with a comprehensive range of community facilities, retail, commercial and even light industrial activity. Even though the development area is located wholly within Westonaria Local Municipality, four of the properties are registered in the name of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.

  • Chapter 1 BOMMASTANDI of ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP
    Chapter 1 BOMMASTANDI OF ALEXANDRA TOWNSHIP 1.1. Background In 1912 the following billboard written in Sotho, Zulu and English appeared in Alexandra Township advertising freehold properties. First, this advert points to the obvious; Africans were already engaging in private property at the turn of the 20th century. This township was subdivided into 2,500 stands which were sold to individuals. Title deeds were given to the individuals once payment was concluded. Second, it indicates that Africans were acquiring private property away from a „traditional village‟ where access to property is said to be communal. A closer look at the acquisition processes of such properties unsettles the notion of private property as individual. It becomes increasingly clear in the study that in spite of the naming of an individual in the titled deed it was not uncommon for family resources to be pooled during acquisition of the said property and hence a shared ownership among members of extended families would be understood. The following conversations attest to some of these experiences. Mme Mihloti explains how her parents and her siblings purchased their properties. 1 Ko 15th o ka re ke nako e abuti a bereka le mosu ausi, ke bona ba neng ba thusa mokgalabe. ......... Bona ke itse ba berekile ba thusa, ba ntshitse chelete ausi le abuti, ena Lucas. …….1 (It seemes like when my brother and sister were working, they are the ones who helped the old man with purchasing the property at 15th Avenue. I do know that they contributed some money helping our father in acquiring the properties…… Another example is drawn from mme Hunadi‟s family.

  • Cognitive Mapping: Using Local Knowledge for Planning Health
    Stadler et al. BMC Medical Research Methodology 2013, 13:96 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2288/13/96 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Cognitive mapping: using local knowledge for planning health research Jonathan Stadler1*, Charles Dugmore2, Emilie Venables1, Catherine MacPhail1 and Sinead Delany-Moretlwe1 Abstract Background: Cognitive mapping is a participatory research methodology that documents, in visual form, a construct of the local environment in which people live and work. We adapted this method to provide detailed data about study locales to inform recruitment and retention strategies for HIV prevention community based clinical trials. Methods: Four cognitive mapping studies were undertaken between 2005 and 2010, in and around Johannesburg in Orange Farm, and Hillbrow. Participants included members of clinical trial Community Advisory Boards (CAB), young people recruited from schools in Hillbrow and an organization for out of school youth, and men recruited from a database of men in the community interested in taking part in research. These groups participated in reconnaissance walks and in depth interviews, and drew detailed sketch maps. Results: The cognitive maps defined the physical boundaries of the research locales, provided insights into their social histories, and identified important characteristics of the population such as movement, social and sexual networks, ethnic and other divisions. Important differences between the official cartographic maps and the cognitive maps were raised. The mapping data was applied by identifying key areas for recruitment that recruitment staff members were less familiar with and that may otherwise have been overlooked. Conclusions: Cognitive mapping is an effective, rapid and low cost method that can be used to inform recruitment and retention strategies for community-based clinical trial research.

  • Strategies Employed by Orange Farm Caregivers of Children with Disabiliti
    101 “Our children have the right to an education too”: Strategies Employed by Orange Farm Caregivers of Children with Disabilities in Pursuit of the Right to a Basic Education Jean Elphick1*, Zosa De SasKropiwnicki2, Rosalind Elphick3 1. Operational Manager of Afrika Tikkun Empowerment Programme,&Department of Anthropology and Development Studies, University of Johannesburg, South Africa 2. Senior Lecturer, Department of Anthropology and Development Studies, University of Johannesburg, South Africa 3. Research Fellow of the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa ABSTRACT Purpose: This paper aims to understand the agency that caregivers who participated in a CBR empowerment component programme exercised, in order to promote the rights of their children with disabilities to a basic education. Methods: An interdisciplinary theoretical framework and qualitative methodology were used to examine the agency and the opportunity structures within which the caregivers operate. Focus group discussions, case study interviews and secondary Programme data were analysed using manual thematic analysis. Results: Thousands of children with disabilities in South Africa are effectively denied the right to a basic education as a result of discriminatory norms, stigmatising discourses and unjust power relations. Yet, a group of caregivers have successfully advocated for their children with disabilities in the township of Orange Farm, Gauteng. Their lobbying has contributed to the establishment, by the State, of a new school. Conclusion and Implications: The findings suggest that human rights advocacy movements, as well as disability organisations, would do well to recognise and encourage the power and agency possessed by caregivers of children with disabilities. Catalysing civic action and providing opportunities for active citizenry and self-help seem to nurture increased efficacy and competence at navigating systems and accessing rights.
