Near Vaalwater and only 2 hours drive from Pretoria. Time spent at Shakati Game Reserve is about getting away from city life, work, traffic and stress. It is about peace and tranquillity, clean fresh air and clear skies with the brightest stars you have probably ever seen. It is about being quiet and listen to the jackal calling at night, to the paradise flycatcher singing in the morning. It is about seeing and walking with the animals, touching the fruits of the bush willow -and wonder about nature. It is about quietly sitting at the water hole watching game and taking life easy Its time to leave the city sounds, the hustle, the bustle and find some place that speaks to you who you really are inside.

  • Water Risks of Coal Driven Mega Projects in Limpopo: the MCWAP and the EMSEZ
    Water risks of coal driven mega projects in Limpopo: the MCWAP and the EMSEZ Figure 1. Artist impression of proposed Electro Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) between Musina and Makhado (from EMSEZ website). Victor Munnik, Society Work and Politics (SWOP) Institute, University of the Witwatersrand May 2020 1 Preface The proposed Electro Metallurgical Special Economic Zone (EMSEZ) threat in Makhado is both a huge risk to water users and the environment in the Limpopo valley, and difficult to take seriously, since it has so many irrational aspects. For that reason many NGO researchers have been reluctant to become involved in a complicated issue in what could be a waste of time and money. A word of thanks is thus due to Richard Worthington at Friedrich Ebert Foundation who commissioned this piece in order to get this work done. I sincerely hope that this will be useful to fellow activists and to decision makers. This report focuses specifically on the water aspects of the EMSEZ, which I believe is a major threat, although together with other activists I wonder about the likelihood of the EMSEZ plans. The Mokolo Crocodile West Augmentation Project (MCWAP) is also discussed in this report, as an example of how fossil fuel development can still have dire water implications five decades after the start of coal mining and coal fired power generation, and a caution that even failed mega projects, as the EMSEZ is likely to be, have a cost to people and the environment. This report relies on a close reading of the Department of Water and Sanitation’s 2016 Limpopo Water Management Area North Reconciliation Strategy, as well as the October 2018 DWS Master Plan.

  • 13. Traffic and Transport
    Environmental Impact Report for the proposed establishment of a New Coal-Fired Power Station in the Lephalale Area, Limpopo Province 13. TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT Goba Pty Ltd was appointed by Bohlweki Environmental to undertake a traffic/transportation impact study as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed Power Station development to be located near Lephalale (previously Ellisras) in the Limpopo Province. A study area locality plan is shown in Appendix W, Figure 1. This report contains a description of the Status Quo transport environment and infrastructure, the transport/traffic impact for the construction and operation of the proposed Power Station and access road alternative evaluation. The proposed Power Station is to be situated on the farm Naauwontkomen and the proposed Ash Dump on the adjacent farm Eenzaamheid. 13.1. Status Quo Conditions The following section summarises the present conditions related to traffic/transportation for the development of the proposed Power Station. 13.1.1. Provincial Roads and Traffic Volumes in the Surrounding Area The latest Provincial traffic counts that could be obtained were 12hour (06:00 to 18:00) traffic counts undertaken in 2004. The daily traffic volumes may typically be 20% higher. These traffic volumes have been captured on Figure 2, Appendix W depicting all the major Provincial Roads approaching Lephalale. The major road approaching from the south (via Vaalwater), route R517 or Road P198-1, carries 838 vehicles with 8% of these being heavy vehicles. This road is in very good condition, apart from some isolated patches. There is however a significantly steep pass which affects heavy vehicle speeds.
