    iLembe District Municipality – Quarterly Economic Indicators and Intelligence Report: 4th Quarter 2011 ILEMBE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY NOVEMBER 2010 QUARTERLY ECONOMIC INDICATORSNOVEMBER 2010 AND INTELLIGENCE REPORT FOURTH QUARTER October - December 2011 Enterprise iLembe Cnr Link Road and Ballito Drive Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal Tel: 032 – 946 1256 Fax: 032 – 946 3515 iLembe District Municipality – Quarterly Economic Indicators and Intelligence Report: 4th Quarter 2011 FOREWORD This intelligence report comprises of an assessment of key economic indicators for the iLembe District Municipality for the fourth quarter of 2011, i.e. October to December 2011. This is the fourth edition of the quarterly reports which are unique to iLembe as we are the only district municipality to publish such a report. The overall objective of this project is to present economic indicators and economic intelligence to assist Enterprise iLembe in driving its mandate, which is to promote trade and investment and to drive economic development in the District of iLembe. This quarter’s edition not only describes historical trends but also takes a brief look at the future of iLembe through the eyes of district planners. Their plan looks forward 30 years to an iLembe that is thriving of the back of large scale agricultural, manufacturing, resort, and renewable energy investments. The result is a highly connected and integrated district, where Ballito and KwaDukuza have formed a metro, and the north coast has become the tourism destination of choice. Readers are asked to comment on this future scenario and the steps needed to get there. This quarter’s report provides also an update on the work we, at Enterprise iLembe, are doing.

  • A Study of Vegetation Change Along the North Coast of Kwazulu-Natal from the Umgeni River to the Tugela River
    A STUDY OF VEGETATION CHANGE ALONG THE NORTH COAST OF KWAZULU-NATAL FROM THE UMGENI RIVER TO THE TUGELA RIVER by .. ,I ' INDRANI GOVENDER Submitted as the thesis component in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geographical and Environmental Sciences, University of Natal Durban February 2000 ii ABSTRACT The vegetation along the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal has long been considered to have originally consisted of forest, scrub forest and savanna. The classical view is that in the last 600 years the early Africans and European farmers were responsible for the removal of forest and scrub forest along the coast. This view was not based on direct evidence but on the theory that the eastern part of the country has a climate "suitable" for forest and scrub forest. The present 'false' grasslands were thus thought to have developed through anthropogenic influences. All of this has its basis in the paradigm of ecological succession and the presence of a "climatic climax". This traditional view has been contested recently, based on archaeological, historical, biogeographical and ecological evidence that has become available since the 1950's. It is suggested that South Africa's grass lands have been in existe~ce for the last two thousand years but probably for more than ten thou~d years. This study aims to investigate this controversy in greater detail, using evidence from archaeological records, travellers records, transcripts, historical reviews, and diarised records. The locations of archaeological sites within the study area were determined and mapped out, followed by an analysis and interpretation of the data with reference to vegetation change.
