It is being submitted for the Degree Master of Environmental Management at the North- West University, Potchefstroom Campus. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other university. --------------------------------- (Signature of candidate) 07 Day of December 2011 2 | P a g e Abstract Historically the practice of conservation planning has occurred in an ad hoc manner in areas that have no economic or agricultural value. When systematic conservation planning has been implemented it has ensured the identification of priority areas that contain species, habitats, and processes essential to achieving conservation targets and goals set out by government. In the recent past a number of authors within the conservation planning fraternity have started questioning the actual impact of conservation plans. Only one third of the conservation plans (globally) published between 1998 and 2000 resulted in actual implementation. Prendengast et al. (1999) described this gap between conservation plans and conservation action as the ‘research-implementation-gap’. The same phenomenon is experienced in local government conservation planning, in South Africa. This has led to a lack of conservation planning and implementation.

  • The Mabopane-Centurion Development Corridor: a Historical Analysis of Successes and Constraints and Proposals for Improvement
    The Mabopane-Centurion Development Corridor: A historical analysis of successes and constraints and proposals for improvement CHAPTER TWO INTERNA TlONAL DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR PERSPECTIVES SECTION A: INTRODUCTION The research that was done to find study material for this dissertation revealed that study material analysing the development corridor concept, development and implementation approaches, underlying theories , principles and preconditions for development corridors , are not readily available. For this purpose, a broad-based analysis was made of a number of international development corridor projects. The findings thereof are discussed in the first part of this chapter. This includes a discussion on what is meant by a development corridor, the use of the concept to address development and social-related problematic issues, as well as the development of the corridor to attract investment. Through the investigation, it was also attempted to identify the underlying conceptual strategies, as well as the measures taken in terms of the institutional structures put in place to enhance implementation and promote its establishment. The second part of this chapter focuses on the formu lation of a possible theoretical framework for development corridors. In this theoretical framework, issues such as a potential definition for a development corridor, objectives of development corridors and the different components/elements of development corridors, are discussed. SECTION 8: GENERAL 1. Understanding the term "development corridor' In general terms, the term "development corrido!" seems to be a development strip, linear in nature, with specific edges on either side allowing focused movement and activity within such edges. But how is this term defined? 1.1. The term "development corridor' There are a number of definitions that attempt to explain what is meant with the term, "development corridor'.

Critical trade-offs will likely become more apparent in 2020: though government is unwilling to consider meaningful job cuts at, or direct privatisation of, Eskom, it is nonetheless pushing forward with the utility’s unbundling and is evidently intent on supporting the deregulation of the energy sector, thus enabling far stronger private sector participation in electricity generation in order to alleviate the damaging effects of load-shedding on growth and confidence.

    28 January 2021 TO: Manemolla David Makhura PREMIER OF GAUTENG ATTENTION: DAVID MAKHURA “BY E-MAIL” Dear Premier Makhura, RE: GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CLEANING OF SCHOOLS SCANDAL. 1. Solidarity is a registered South African trade union in good standing with more than 200 000 members 2. Several of our members are educators, working for schools that fall under the Gauteng Department of Education 3. Several of our members are parents who have children in public schools in Gauteng that fall under the Gauteng Department of Education 4. Solidarity is absolutely astounded by reports that the Gauteng Department of Education spent R431 274 959 on disinfecting schools 5. A report on Daily Maverick indicated that the Gauteng Department of Education spent these inordinate amounts on schools between June and August 2020. The report further indicates that these amounts are massively inflated and were paid to vendors from the central supplier database under the emergency procurement protocols. Some of these vendors were not even specialised in cleaning services, yet they were paid massively inflated prices. 6. What is even more worrying is that the report indicates that the MEC for Education – Mr. Panyaza Lesufi – was completely taken aback by the funds spent by his department. Mr. Lesufi repeatedly states that he had absolutely no idea of the scale of funds being spent. 7. This is completely unacceptable, as the MEC for Education Mr. Lesufi is ultimately responsible for the actions of his department. His claimed lack of knowledge can only be attributed to one of two explanations – either he is complicit or incompetent.
