  • INVESTOR FACT SHEET 4. Blyde River Hydro Power Project
    INVESTOR FACT SHEET 4. Blyde River Hydro Power Project A. PROJECT SECTOR: Renewable Energy I. INTRODUCTION The Blyde River (Happy River) or Motlatse River, is a river in Mpumalanga Province South Africa. It flows north through the steep-sided valleys and ravines of the Mpumalanga Drakensberg (Dragon Mountains), before it enters the Lowveld Escapement – one of Africa’s prime wildlife and game reserves destinations. The Blyde River Hydro Power Project is a small Hydo-Electric Project involving the re-engineering and re-establishment of an existing hydro-electric power plant. II. LOCATION South Africa – Mpumalanga Province – Thaba Chweu Municipality III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This renewable energy project is situated in the environmentally sensitive Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve of Mpumalanga Province. This area attracts over one million tourists a year to the natural wonder of the surrounding Bourke’s Luck Potholes, Gods Window, the Blyde River Canyon and the world famous Kruger National Park. Mpumalanga Province is an attractive Green Energy investment destination in support of the tourism infrastructure and local communities. The existing but non-operational Belvedere Hydro-Electric Power Plant was commissioned in 1911 to supply power to the historic gold mining town of Pilgrim’s Rest. This 2,000 Kw power station was at its time the largest hydro-electric power station in the Southern Hemisphere and Pilgrim’s Rest was electrified before the City of London. The Blyde River Hydro Power Project entails the design, engineering and commissioning of a new hydro-power station to generate renewable green energy to be supplied the surrounding tourism attractions and adjacent communities.

  • Towards Improving the Assessment and Implementation of the Reserve
    Towards improving the assessment and implementation of the Reserve: Real-time assessment and implementation of the Ecological Reserve Final report WRC project K8/881/2 March 2011 Sharon Pollard1 Stephen Mallory2 Edward Riddell3 Tendai Sawunyama2 1 Association for Water & Rural Development (AWARD) 2 Water for Africa (IWR Water Resources) 3 University of KwaZulu-Natal Water Research Commission Executive Summary When the Olifants River in north-east South Africa ceased flowing in 2005, widespread calls were made for an integrated focus on all of the easterly-flowing rivers of the lowveld of South Africa. These are the Luvuvhu, Letaba, Olifants, Sabie-Sand, Crocodile and Komati Rivers in Water Management Areas 2,4 and 5. Most of these rivers appeared to be deteriorating in terms of water quantity and quality despite the 1998 National Water Act (NWA). As most of the rivers flow through Kruger National Park (KNP) and all of them form part of international systems the implications of their degradation were profound and of international significance (Pollard and du Toit 2010). The aims of this study were to assess the state of compliance with the Ecological Reserve (ER) – as a benchmark for sustainability - in these rivers and some of their tributaries. It also explored the problems associated with an assessment of compliance. In short these include the lack of planning and integration of ER determination methods with operations and the difficulties associated with real-time predictions of ER requirements. These factors severely constrain planning, monitoring and the management action to mitigate non-compliance. In South Africa, the ER is defined as a function of the natural flow which, because the natural flow in a system is not known at any point in time, is creating problems with real-time implementation.

  • Initiation Africa! with Victoria More and Sarah Nisse Mpumalanga Province, South Africa November 6 –18, 2018 Are You Ready to Embrace These Powers with Me?
    Initiation Africa! With Victoria More and Sarah Nisse Mpumalanga Province, South Africa November 6 –18, 2018 Are You Ready to Embrace these powers with me? In early 2015 I received a call from Spirit. This call was in the form of an ever growing craving in my soul, a yearning to "just go" without knowing where the funds were coming from or how the journey would unfold. This call was asking me to embark on a journey to a continent I had only ever dreamed of stepping foot on — Africa. Within months, the Universe worked its magic and before I knew it I was on a plane to a very sacred and powerful place: the base of the Nilotic Meridian in South Africa. Upon stepping on her soil, I sobbed. At the time I could not identify all of the feelings and magic flowing through me, but I knew that this wondrous land was full of enchanting powers and miraculous events. I was home. I was finally in my Soul's Place. I immersed in the energy of this Mother Land for 10 days. Each day held a different initiation, a thinning of the veil, and a breakdown of all I thought I had ever "known" as it now transformed into what I always knew: that this was the place which merged the frequencies of Heaven and Earth. During those 10 days I was approached by group of beings, whom I have dubbed "The Creationaries". They showed me my work in Africa, they showed me that I would be bringing people there to REMEMBER their true power and connection to the universe.

  • Mpumalanga Destination Guide
    Mpumalanga Destination Guide Overview of Mpumalanga Mpumalanga Province is rich in wildlife, culture, pioneer history, and natural beauty. Situated in the east of the country, it borders Swaziland and Mozambique and encompasses the southern section of the world-renowned Kruger National Park. Mpumalanga is 'Big Game Country', and the Lowveld is the setting for dozens of private game reserves and luxury lodges that abound in bird and animal life. Nelspruit is the capital and gateway to the province. Situated two hundred miles (325km) east of Johannesburg, it is South Africa's fastest growing city and has a vibrant CBD. Although not much of a tourist attraction in itself, Nelspruit is situated in the heart of a region rich in natural attractions, which makes it a favourite jumping off point for exploring the Lowveld area. The city's train station and airport welcome travellers several times a day, most of whom are en route to the Kruger National Park, whose southern Malelane Gate is about 40 miles (63km) from Nelspruit. It is not only those interested in safaris that come to Mpumalanga, however. Besides wonderful opportunities for bird watching and game viewing, the area is also scenically beautiful, with its mountains, valleys, waterfalls, canyons, and panoramic passes spread across the region. Mpumalanga's lack of development means more space for its natural finery, which is particularly evident along the scenic meander known as the Panorama Route that takes in spectacular sights along the eastern slopes of the escarpment. Key Facts Language: South Africa has 11 official languages, including Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu, and Sotho.

  • Brief Background Document on Potential Impacts and Reasons for Objection to Proposed Tgme Mining Projects in the Upper Blyde River and Upper Sabie River Catchments
    BRIEF BACKGROUND DOCUMENT ON POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND REASONS FOR OBJECTION TO PROPOSED TGME MINING PROJECTS IN THE UPPER BLYDE RIVER AND UPPER SABIE RIVER CATCHMENTS Below are some of the key concerns on which to raise objections to the proposed mining projects, and to demand a reopening of the public consultation processes. This is by no means an exhaustive list and many more reasons could be added, and we encourage you to do so. Note that developing the rationales as listed here has been a combined effort by many concerned partners, including the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere (K2C), SAFCOL, York Timbers, Please be sure to object to both applications in ensuring a stronger collective effort. 1. The applications completely fail to consider the recently gazetted Water Resources Classification System under the National Water Act. South Africa's National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998), replaced all previous rights to water use with an entitlement under the new Act. The NWA now only makes provision for one "right" to water, the Reserve. This is the water required for basic human needs and to maintain water ecosystem functioning. Supporting this the act also stipulates that the water resources should be classified, the ecological reserve be determined and Resource Quality Objectives (RQOs) set for all South African river systems. The classification and RQOs for the Olifants and Sabie River Catchments which were gazetted in 20161, specify that the upper Blyde and upper Sabie catchments are Class I Water Resources. This means that the catchment should be managed in a manner that protects and preserves its ecological integrity, therefore, minimal development is allowed to ensure it keeps providing ecosystem goods and services locally and downstream.
