Introduction Local government is regarded as a sphere of local government ‘closest to the people’ and municipalities are at the coalface of deepening democracy and accelerating the delivery of services. An Integrated Development Plan, adopted by the council of a municipality is the key strategic planning tool for the municipality. It is described in the Municipal Systems Act (MSA) as: 35(1)(a)”…the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning and development and all decisions with regard to planning, management and development in the municipality”. (b)”binds the municipality in the exercise of its executive authority”. MCLM’s Integrated Development Plan new cycle was developed on 2016 and will be reviewed for the period of five years. This year 2017 it is the start of the review cycle of the IDP adopted by Merafong City Council in 2016. This document sets out the objectives of MCLM 2016 – 2021 IDP Compilation Process and described the following:- The process followed to compile the MCLM IDP; The key informants that have provided the basis for compiling the elements of the IDP; Objectives, strategies and performance Indicators which have been revised on the basis of the informants identified. The Compilation Process The Merafong City Local Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) Process Plan was adopted by duly constituted Council during the preparations process of the compilation of the IDP as a policy framework of which the review process (2016-2021) is based regarding organisational arrangements, tasks, responsibilities of the different stakeholders and annual review processes will be based on this policy framework. The Merafong IDP is linked with all the municipal strategies Regional Plan, Provincial and National plans developed to address some of the concerns raised by national government on the performance of municipalities. Specific areas of focus included improving the financial viability and sustainability of the municipality, improving service delivery quality and adherence to service standards in particularly in previously marginalised areas as well as implementing measures to prevent and react to incidents of fraud and corruption in the municipality. In July 2016, the Municipality embarked on its IDP Compilation process as per the legislative requirements. The compilation was mainly informed by, but not limited to the following: MEC Comments: The MEC gives comments on the alignment of municipality’s IDP to government programmes. These comments provide guidance on the preparation of the IDP. Census 2011, Community Survey 2016 and Global Insight 2015 : These data engines results presented the Municipality with recent and informative statistics that will inform the development of its plans especially with regards to access to services, population growth and unemployment data. Various policies were also put high on the agenda for planning purposes such as the National Development Plan, Back to Basics, West Rand Region’s 14 outcomes etc... which assist in revising and updating programmes and projects. Integrated Development Plan 2017-2018 Page 3 Community needs sourced during October/November 2016 IDP/Budget public participation and consultation meetings where also highly considered. The compilation of the IDP was also informed by the overall performance of the Municipality including a review of progress against programmes and projects and external assessments such as Auditor General Reports and other critical reviews. Councillors play an extremely important role in promoting democracy by making sure that community members and organisations have a chance to present their view on any matter to be considered by Council. In addition, Councillors also have an oversight role to the processes of the municipality to ensure that the IDP is implemented

  • The Development of Appropriate Procedures Towards and After Closure of Underground Gold Mines from a Water Management Perspective
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES TOWARDS AND AFTER CLOSURE OF UNDERGROUND GOLD MINES FROM A WATER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE Report to the WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION by W Pulles, S Banister and M van Biljon on hehalf of PULLES HOWARD & DE LANGE INCORPORATED RISON GROUNDWATER CONSULTING cc WRC Report No: 1215/1/05 ISBN No: 1-77005-237-2 MARCH 2005 Disclaimer This report emanates from a project financed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and is approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC or the members of the project steering committee, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A need was identified by the Water Research Commission to undertake research into the issue of mine closure planning from a water management perspective in the South African gold mining industry. Initially a project was conceived that was based on undertaking a more detailed study on the development of a coherent and integrated closure planning process for a case study region – the Klerksdorp-Orkney-Stilfontein-Hartebeestfontein (KOSH) area. This approach was eventually abandoned due to the unwillingness of the gold mines in this region (other than Anglogold) to participate in the project. The project methodology was subsequently modified and approved by the project Steering Committee to rather study the complete South African gold mining industry and develop a closure planning methodology that would have application throughout the industry. In support of such an industry-wide study, an assessment would be undertaken of the current status of closure planning contained within the mine EMPRs.

  • Threats and Opportunities for Post-Closure Development in Dolomitic
    Threats and opportunities for post-closure development in dolomitic gold mining areas of the West Rand and Far West Rand (South Africa) – a hydraulic view Part 3: Planning and uncertainty – lessons from history EJ (Leslie) Stoch* and Frank Winde North West University, Potchefstroom Campus, Private Bag X6001, Potchefstroom, 2520, South Africa Abstract Mining is exposed to geological uncertainty as well as to economic forces beyond its control, such as commodity prices and exchange rates that govern profitability. Predictions of future scenarios in mining areas are thus inherently difficult and unreliable. This uncertainty is exacerbated by the long time periods required for pro-active planning of post-mining developments often spanning several decades. This paper presents examples from a gold mining area in the Far West Rand (South Africa) illustrating the variance between predicted scenarios and reality. The facts are embedded in a historical recount of events crucial for the design and approval of mine-closure plans, as well as post-mining development. It is argued that historical arrangements and data need to be understood and preserved in order to avoid the repetition of (costly) mis- takes made in the Far West Rand. Owing to the pivotal role of water in the semi-arid area and the fact that some of the most important groundwater resources of South Africa were impacted on by deep-level mining, this paper in 3 parts adopted a largely hydraulic perspective. The loss of ‘institutional memory’ and local expertise has been identified as the main threat to planning. Part 3 presents an attempt to counteract such loss by providing an account of the events of 5 decades, as wit- nessed by the first author.

  • Appendix 17 Aquatic Ecology and Wetlands Report
    APPENDIX 17 AQUATIC ECOLOGY AND WETLANDS REPORT FRESHWATER ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AS PART OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORISATION AND WATER USE LICENSE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE PROPOSED ERPM EXPANSION AREA 2 MINE, BRAKPAN SOUTH, GAUTENG PROVINCE Prepared for Prime Resources Environmental Consultants June 2019 Prepared by: Scientific Aquatic Services Report author: L. Robson (Cand. Sci. Nat) Report reviewers: K. Marais (Pr. Sci. Nat) S. van Staden (Pr. Sci. Nat) Report reference: SAS 219104 Date: June 2019 Scientific Aquatic Services CC CC Reg No 2003/078943/23 Vat Reg.

Adherence to cogent, well-conceived and ecologically sensitive site development plans, the mitigation measures provided in this report as well as general good construction practice and ongoing management, maintenance and monitoring, are essential if the significance of perceived impacts is to be reduced to limit further degradation of the freshwater environment. It is the opinion of the freshwater specialist that the proposed ERPM expansion, from a freshwater resource management perspective, is considered acceptable, with the proviso that no development takes place within the wetlands or the associated 100m GN704 Zone of Regulation and that strict adherence to mitigation measures is enforced to ensure that the ecological integrity of the freshwater environment is not further compromised.
