  • Eastern Cape
    Eastern Cape Introduction South Africa’s ‘wild’ province, the Eastern Cape features expanses of untouched beach, bush and forest. This is Nelson Mandela’s home province, and an area with some enticing attractions – pristine beaches, abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery. Top attractions Addo Elephant National Park This is one of the few reserves in the world that offers the Big Seven – elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, great white sharks and southern right whales. The 164 000ha park, which is situated near Port Elizabeth, is rated as one of the best places in Africa to see elephants up close. It also has the world’s largest breeding colony of Cape gannets, rare flightless dung beetles, 1 000-year-old cycads, and hundreds of pastel-coloured proteas. Cambedoo National Park This stunningly beautiful reserve falls within the Karoo and is home to rare plants and wildlife. It almost completely surrounds the town of Graaff-Reinet, the oldest town in the Eastern Cape. Its most famous attraction, however, is the Valley of Desolation, made up of spectacular dolerite pillars. Prehistoric fossils have been discovered on the floor of the valley. There are plenty of animals to be found, including the bat-eared fox, meerkat, vervet monkeys and Cape mountain zebra. Baviaanskloof wilderness area The Baviaanskloof mega-reserve is a natural, unspoilt mountain kingdom. The 200km-long Baviaanskloof, the Valley of the Baboons, is so named because of the large numbers of baboons in the area. Spectacular plant and animal life compete for attention. Tsitsikamma National Park This park forms part of the Garden Route National Park.

Population trends of seabirds breeding in South Africa’s Eastern Cape and the possible influence of anthropogenic and environmental change. Marine Ornithology 37: 159–174. Eleven species of seabird breed in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. Numbers of African Penguin Spheniscus demersus and Cape Gannet Morus capensis in the province increased in the 20th century, but penguins decreased in the early 21st century. A recent eastward displacement of Sardine Sardinops sagax off South Africa increased the availability of this food source to gannets but did not benefit penguins, which have a shorter foraging range. Fishing and harbour developments may have influenced the recent decrease of penguins.

  • Transportation Planning Within the Gauteng Province of South Africa: an Overview of Instruments on Strategic Planning Between 1970 and 2014
    Urban Transport XXI 119 Transportation planning within the Gauteng Province of South Africa: an overview of instruments on strategic planning between 1970 and 2014 C. B. Schoeman North West University, Potchefstroom Campus, Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management, South Africa Abstract Since 1994 with democratization the national and its underpinning provincial spatial systems in South Africa were subjected to intensive transformation processes and impacts resulting from a changing policy, legislative and planning instrument frameworks. These influences and impacts resulted in important planning and development consequences for strategic transportation, spatial planning and development within all spheres of government. The South African National Spatial System (NSS) consists of nine (9) Provincial Spatial Systems (PSS). These PSS anchor and optimize transportation and spatial planning and development. Due to historic and locational factors, the study area (Gauteng PSS) fulfils a primary role in the growth and development of the national economy (NSS) and its development. The paper is an endeavour to assess the evolution of provincial planning instruments qualitatively to support sustainable development and to link need and potential in terms of national and provincial plans and to reconcile the transformation process in local context. Keywords: strategic planning, national planning, provincial planning, local planning, sustainability, land use and transportation integration, spatial planning. 1 Introduction Land use and transportation integration forms the backbone of an efficient urban settlement and development pattern. It promotes the cost-effective operation of WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, Vol 146, © 2015 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 (on-line) doi:10.2495/UT150101 120 Urban Transport XXI the province’s transportation system and has the potential to direct urban development as such development tends to concentrate close to major transportation routes.

The sustainability of such initiatives will therefore depend very much on how successfully risks associated with these hazards can be managed.

South Africa is one of the most geographically varied countries of the African continent, comprising territory that ranges from the rolling, fertile plains of the highveld and the wide open savanna. Soweto has a history of poverty, overcrowding, and limited water supply, resulting in lifestyle factors such as communal toilets, along with a record of producing leaders of the international movement for sociopolitical transition in SA (South Africa). This place in comparison with other countries reflects consistency in the incidence of illness encountered by the family practitioner and also contemporary trends in morbidity seen in general practice. Accordingly, any examination of the determinants, effects, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) must be framed within this sociopolitical context. Nowadays some regions which have advantage conditions for living are confronted with many problems such as population increase including natural and mechanical; decrease agricultural area; un-controlling growth in some industrial sectors. Studies conducted outside South Africa are similar to those conducted within the country. The main impression of Soweto is that of overcrowding and poverty, and still struggling in providing basic services including portable toilets to its poorer districts.
