MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION E MOATSHE (012 358 8714) SECTION 79 OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE: AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: 9 JUNE 2016 1. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT (ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND PARKS DIVISION) REPORT ON AWARENESS ACTIVITIES ON THE PRESERVATION OF RIVERS AND WETLANDS 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the report is to provide feedback to the Oversight Committee for Agriculture and Environmental Management about awareness activities on the preservation of rivers and wetlands that are implemented as part of the City’s Environmental Awareness Education and Training programme. 2. LINK TO THE CITY STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE (CSO) In terms of the CoT strategic objectives as approved in the IDP, the specific strategic objectives addressed in this report are: CSO 2: Promote shared growth and job creation CSO 3: Ensure sustainable safer cities and integrated social development. Activities contained in this report are aligned to the Tshwane Vision 2055 Outcome 1 which commits Tshwane to implementing the principles and interventions of a “smart environment”. 3. BACKGROUND The City of Tshwane receives 81.3 percent of its water from Rand Water and Magalies. The City supplies the remaining 18, 7 percent from its dams borehole and streams. The City has special water resources namely the fountains of Tshwane, the two fountains known simply as the Upper and Lower Fountains which are found in the Fountains Valley and form head waters of the Apies River. When the city’s water requirements increased, another two springs further away, Sterkfontein and Grootfontein were also used, as well as treated water from the Rietvlei Dam. All of these fountains are currently being used for drinking water in the City of Tshwane. As the human population increases there is an increase in pollution and catchment destruction caused by urbanization, deforestation, damming of rivers, destruction of wetlands, industry minining, agriculture and energy production. These factors pose a threat to the city’s water security. With increasing population, development, deteriorating wetlands and stress on our water bodies, water education and awareness is a reminder that communities should think about where the City would be without water. 8 4. DISCUSSION Environmental Management Services department of the City of Tshwane promotes environmental conservation programmes, raises awareness on the critical value of wetlands as biodiversity hotspots and key components of river systems and educates the City of Tshwane residents about the environmental value of our river systems and wetlands. The aforementioned activities include: 4.1 Water awareness door to door campaign – August 2015 As part of the women’s month commemoration, the Water and Sanitation division in collaboration with the Environmental Management Services department

    ISSN-1040-3027, VOL. 31, NO. 3 DECEMBER 2004 Inside: CelebratingCelebrating the liflifee of IPPLIPPL’s’s gibbon Beanie Help close Bangkok’s “department store zoo” Happy holidays from everyone at IPPL! A Letter from IPPL’s Chairwoman Dear IPPL Member, We at Headquarters are all devastated by the loss in October of our “special needs” gibbon, Beanie. You’ll find the story of his life in the centerfold of this issue. In 1990 Beanie had developed encephalitis when living at a primate facility in Florida. This terrible disease left him blind and suffering from epilepsy, so he was sent to IPPL for special care. Beanie didn’t let his handicaps defeat him. He was a spunky, personable gibbon, adored by our staff members. Beanie could sing gibbon songs. The only problem was that sometimes he would start singing at 3 a.m. because, being blind, he didn’t know the difference between night and day! He could perform spectacular gibbon acrobatics at whirlwind speed, sometimes spinning round a stationary bar fifteen times. Beanie loved food and had strong preferences. He loved sweet potatoes, but only if they were baked and had a sprinkling of sugar! Another favorite was raisin bread. But not just any raisin bread. He preferred Arnold’s raisin bread, which is loaded with raisins. If you offered him a substitute he would throw it away. We are all going to miss Beanie greatly, but the 31 resident gibbons keep us busy. Courtney is now two and a half years old and still very much an infant.

It was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by all team members and the team leader, and we appeared to be joyously received wherever we went! Our hosts were hospitable, generous and gracious. They could not do enough for us. We enjoyed being with every one of them, and they appeared to enjoy our company! Vocational visits were largely concentrated in Pretoria, the only large city in the District, and generally were of superlative quality, including contacts that could never be made in the normal course of travel. Outside Pretoria we enjoyed exposure to mines deep underground, combine harvesters above ground, factories, schools, clinics, South Africa’s unique game parks, and fascinating tribal events. The team debriefing on the last day exposed a wide sensitivity by team members to the qualities, successes, challenges and paradoxes facing Southern Africa. In this debriefing, and in the subsequent written reports, members expressed their very high degree of satisfaction with several aspects of the mission. Committee The Committee members responsible for this mission were: District Governor Bob Benson Chairman Mats Ingemanson Secretary Edgar Cornell Members Wayne Dill Paul Rothstein Chuck Katze David Sullivan Don Lee Neil O’Connell Greg Lynch Ivan Vosloo Jim Romeo Team Leader Peter Grunthal Selection Process New York applications were solicited from New York District clubs and reviewed by committee members.

    NEWSLETTER – April 2012 Next Workshop – Pretoria Zoo th 5 May 2012, special venue within Hello Everyone! the grounds overlooking the elephants! Book now! Jenny saying hello to Oshine At the beginning of March, I was up to some “Monkey business” and I thought I would give you a little feedback on my trip to the UK. I met Brenda (Oshine’s owner) at Heathrow Airport so that we could go together to Monkey World to spend five days with Oshine and all the other primates living there. Oshine was SO happy to see us. Yes she recognised us. She still has a VERY close bond with Brenda. At the moment she is still living in the nursery looking after Sylvester and the other “teenagers” Silvester is growing into SUCH a handsome boy Oshine still spends all her spare time looking after Silvester. You can often see her walking hand in hand with him all over their enclosure. He is an extremely busy little boy. It was VERY difficult to get him to sit still long enough for me to take this photograph. He was just SO full of fun and VERY playful. A few times he even got Oshine to “play” with him. This little lady felt that her blanket was for “wearing” She really was “the fashion princess” Every time we saw her, she was wearing a different coloured blanket. It was quite amazing to witness how intelligent and sensitive the Orang-u-tans are. Oshine also loved wearing her blanket She spent a lot of time deep in thought Yes, She is definitely not just a pretty face.
