    Informal Settlement Upgrading in Cape Town’s Hangberg: Local Government, Urban Governance and the ‘Right to the City’ by Walter Vincent Patrick Fieuw Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Sustainable Development Planning and Management in the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Firoz Khan December 2011 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature Walter Fieuw Name in full 22/11/2011 Date Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Integrating the poor into the fibre of the city is an important theme in housing and urban policies in post‐apartheid South Africa. In other words, the need for making place for the ‘black’ majority in urban spaces previously reserved for ‘whites’ is premised on notions of equity and social change in a democratic political dispensation. However, these potentially transformative thrusts have been eclipsed by more conservative, neoliberal developmental trajectories. Failure to transform apartheid spatialities has worsened income distribution, intensified suburban sprawl, and increased the daily livelihood costs of the poor. After a decade of unintended consequences, new policy directives on informal settlements were initiated through Breaking New Ground (DoH 2004b).

  • Property, Housing and Neo- Apartheid Segregation in Hout Bay
    Chapter Three Selling the Mountain: property, housing and neo- apartheid segregation in Hout Bay Figure 3.1. The global property market comes to the fishing village ​ In July 2009, an article in the Sunday Times, the leading national newspaper, claimed that the ​ ​ Sentinel Mountain in Hout Bay was on the property market by auction, and that enquiries had been made by ‘talk show host Oprah Winfrey, hotel magnate Sol Kerzner, Donald Trump jnr as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’. In addition, the article continued, ‘the new owners could, if they wished ... name the peak after themselves as the Sentinel was not a registered trademark. Auctioneers had reportedly turned down two offers, including one for R15 1 million’ (News24 2009). Not surprisingly, alarm spread through Hangberg, the major settlement on the Sentinel Mountain. On 16 July 2009, the morning of the auction, a crowd of 300 protesters from Hangberg gathered outside the site of the sale, the Chapman’s Peak Hotel, led by the Hout Bay Civic. According to Isaac James, a Hout Bay Civic leader, they wanted to ‘sit down with the auctioneers' to convince the owners to halt plans to sell the prized real estate (News24 2009). However, once it was clear that the auction was proceeding, the protest became confrontational. Some protesters began to throw stones, and the police opened fire on the crowd, showering them with rubber bullets and teargas. This confrontation quickly brought the auction to a halt. In the aftermath of this event, it transpired that it was not the whole of the Sentinel Mountain for sale, which would have included Hangberg on its lower reaches.

    Custodians of the Cape Peninsula: A historical and contemporary ethnography of urban conservation in Cape Town by Janie Swanepoel Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Anthropology in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof Steven L. Robins December 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved II Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The official custodian of the Cape Peninsula mountain chain, located at the centre of Cape Town, is the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). This park is South Africa’s only urban open-access park and has been declared a World Heritage Site. This thesis is an anthropological and historical examination of the past and present conservation of the Cape Peninsula . I provide an overview of the relationship between the urban environment and the Cape Peninsula aiming to illustrate the produced character of the mountains and its mediation in power relations. This study of custodianship reveals that protecting and conserving the Cape Peninsula is shaped by the politics of the urban and natural environment as well as by the experience of living in the city.

  • Parker Cottage's Self Drive Tour of the Southern Suburbs
    Parker Cottage’s Self Drive Tour of the Southern Suburbs The Southern Suburbs are often passed by on the way to the Cape Peninsula with most people only ‘starting’ their tour of the Cape when they hit Muizenberg. However, there are some truly amazing places on the way down (and back) which make for a superb day out, without a whole heap of driving and navigation. Parker Cottage Tel +27 (21)424-6445 | Fax +27 (0)21 424-0195 | Cell +27 (0)79 980 1113 1 & 3 Carstens Street, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town, South Africa [email protected] | www.parkercottage.co.za Here are the highlights (according to us) • Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is arguably one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the world, set against the verdant eastern slopes of Table Mountain. • Constantia Wine Route, specifically Groot Constantia, Buitenverwachting and Steenberg, is often overlooked in favour of the central Winelands but in terms of architecture, wine and tranquillity rival (if not match) many much more famous estates. • Ou Kaapse Weg is the original route for getting from Cape Town to the west coast of the Peninsula before Chapman’s Peak was built. It’s a stunning mountain pass with lovely walks at the Silvermine Nature Reserve on top. • Imhoff’s Gift with its views of Noordhoek beach (the largest single stretch of beach on the Cape), its great food and general bare-foot atmosphere will be sure to delight you. • Noordhoek Farm Village, which is a small development of shops, restaurants and cafes in the horsey and coastal village of Noordhoek is a superb place to while away a few hours.

  • Chapter One the Republic of Hout Bay: a House Divided
    Chapter One The Republic of Hout Bay: A house divided Figure 1.1. Aerial image of Hout Bay Hout Bay is a suburb about 20 kilometres south of the heart of Cape Town, located in a valley on the west coast of the Cape Peninsula. A natural bowl shape, Hout Bay is remarkably beautiful, framed to the west by the dramatic Sentinel mountain peak, and flanked to the east by the Table Mountain range. The lower slopes of the valley are green and fertile, fed by the Disa River that runs into a natural harbour with an attractive swimming beach. The striking setting of Hout Bay, and its relatively close proximity to the city centre, make it a sought after residential and tourist location. Although there is evidence of inhabitation of the area prior to colonisation, there is no written history before Dutch settlement. The name Hout Bay is an Anglicisation of the Dutch Houtbaai (literally ‘wood bay’), and stretches back to 1653. The area was so named for the quantity of excellent timber growing in its ravines. The fishing at Hout Bay extends back prior to colonialism; the first colonial fishing village was established in 1867 when a German immigrant, Jacob Trautmann, began to farm and fish in the area (SAHistoryOnline 2011). Until the 1950s, 1 the land in Hout Bay was used primarily for agricultural purposes and the area was sparsely populated. In the 1950s, the lumber industry went into decline and fishing, including factories processing fish, became the largest industry in the area. Following the decline of the fishing industry in the 1980s, Hout Bay became an increasingly sought after residential area as Cape Town rapidly densified (SAHistoryOnline 2011).

Whereas Forest and Fynbos have changed little in extent or density since 1945, transition vegetation increased into areas formerly occupied by Fynbos.

The CDF is required in terms of the Integrated Environmental Management System developed and adopted, after extensive public participation, for the CPNP. In November 2000, the draft CDF with five associated maps was made available for scrutiny by interested and affected parties. This report synthesises the 151 written comments received on the draft CDF and presents Setplan’s and SANParks’ responses to the comments, for consideration in finalising the CDF. A number of general comments were submitted, not necessarily dealing with the draft CDF, as follows: Broad support for, and positive feedback on the draft CDF. The consultation process associated with the draft CDF. Financial sustainability of the CPNP in relation to the draft CDF proposals. The relationship between CPNP and SANParks policy. Management of the CPNP, with particular focus on the need to foster meaningful relationships with local communities, the public and interest groups through ongoing consultation, involvement and participation.
