DPRU Policy Brief No. 00/P5 December 2000 1 DPRU Policy Brief 00/P5 Foreword The Development Policy Research Unit (DPRU), located within the University of Cape Town’s School of Economics, was formed in 1990 to undertake economic policy-oriented research. The aim of the unit’s work is the achievement of more effective public policy for industrial development in South and Southern Africa. The DPRU’s mission is to undertake internationally recognised policy research that contributes to the quality and effectiveness of such policy. The unit is involved in research activities in the following areas: · labour markets and poverty · regulatory reform · regional integration These policy briefs are intended to catalyse policy debate. They express the views of their respective authors and not necessarily those of the DPRU. They present the major research findings of the Industrial Strategy Project (ISP). The aim of the ISP is to promote industrial development in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) through regional economic integration and cooperation. It is a three-year project that commenced in August 1998 and is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). Ultimately, this project will identify the policies and programmes that support regional interactions that contribute to the industrialisation of SADC national economies. This

  • North-West Province
    © Lonely Planet Publications 509 North-West Province From safaris to slots, the pursuit of pleasure is paramount in the North-West Province. And with the top three reasons to visit less than a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, this region is more than fun. It’s convenient. Gambling is the name of the game here, although not always in the traditional sense. Place your luck in a knowledgeable ranger’s hands at Madikwe Game Reserve and bet on how many lions he’ll spot on the sunrise wildlife drive. You have to stay to play at this exclusive reserve on the edge of the Kalahari, and the lodges here will be a splurge for many. But for that once-in-a-lifetime, romantic Out of Africa–style safari experience, South Africa’s fourth-largest reserve can’t be beat. If you’d rather spot the Big Five without professional help, do a self-drive safari in Pi- lanesberg National Park. The most accessible park in the country is cheaper than Madikwe, and still has 7000 animals packed into its extinct volcano confines. Plus it’s less than three hours’ drive from Jo’burg. When you’ve had your fill betting on finding rhino, switch to cards at the opulent Sun City casino complex down the road. The final component of the province’s big attraction trifecta is the southern hemisphere’s answer to Las Vegas: a shame- lessly gaudy, unabashedly kitsch and downright delicious place to pass an afternoon. Madikwe, Pilanesberg and Sun City may be the North-West Province’s heavyweight at- tractions, but there are more here than the province’s ‘Big Three’.

    Analysis of the Relationship between the Severity of Road Traffic Crashes and the Human factors involved: N4 Toll Route Case Study by Andries Johannes Gelderblom Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Marion Sinclair March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://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: AJ Gelderblom ______________________ Date: March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Road safety is considered to be one of the most critical concerns in contemporary society. As a result, reducing road traffic crashes is, arguably, the most critical aspect that needs to be addressed within a roadway system. Injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic crashes are a serious problem. Globally, the number of road traffic deaths continues to rise, reaching a devastating 1.35 million fatalities in 2016, which equates to almost 3700 people being killed on the world’s roads every day. Despite the efforts made by government agencies and the engineering community, the road crash fatality rate in South Africa remains higher than the global average.

    Contact: Mark Turner Call +27 78 075 0720 Email: [email protected] Local Fax: 086-6105113 INT Fax: +27-86-6105113 Directions Oxwagon Lodge is located on one of the main Johannesburg - Hartbeespoort roads, which is called the route R511. If you drive north from Fourways (Johannesburg), stay on the R511 all the way. Remember to look out for the left-turn which the R511 takes a few kms after Diepsloot/Dainfern. Continue on the R511 for about 20 kms. Just as Hartbeespoort Dam comes into view at the top of Saartjiesnek, proceed down the hill for 0.5 km and look for our entrance, on the right hand side. Turn in here and take the sand road back to the top of the hill. If you're coming from Randburg along the R512, proceed to the Broederstroom Farm Stall T-junction and then turn right. Drive about 9 kms to the R511 (passing Pelindaba on your right) and see the signs for Hartbeespoort. Turn left onto the R511 and proceed up the hill until the Dam comes into view. As above, proceed down the hill for 0.5 kms and look for our entrance on the right hand side. Turn in here and take the sand road back to the top. From the centre of Pretoria, take the "original" N4 heading west and come off at the second Pelindaba exit. We are then about 2 kms along the R511 towards Hartbeespoort, just follow the signs. If travelling from Pretoria's northern suburbs, take the "other N4" heading west (very confusing!) towards Rustenberg and come off at the Brits exit.

The free iOS, Android and Windows Phone app contains over an hour’s storytelling, narrated by top broadcaster David O’Sullivan. The audio features stories derived from Delmar’s “road book”, The Platinum Road, covering the route from Gauteng to Botswana along the N4 highway, and on the N1 between Pretoria and Bela Bela. Delmar says that after nearly eight months on the app stores it came time for a content update, “The response we’ve had from users has been phenomenal thus far, but we always planned to add to the app and improve users’ overall audio experience, to just keep giving them more lekker content. We’ve expanded on the app’s existing stories, with a few more tucked in at key points along the route. On top of that, we’ve also added handy details about toll plazas along the way, as well as information about a few of Bakwena N1 N4 Toll Concession’s social initiatives.” Sponsored by Bakwena the Platinum Road app contains images, maps and stories about the history of Gauteng and North West, including anecdotes about vast vanished Tswana cities and the Anglo-Boer War, quaint towns and settlements, frogs and mining.

    South Africa 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Rep South Africa 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Offices at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria and Consulates in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in South Africa. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s South Africa-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses South Africa at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to crime, civil unrest, and drought. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Department of State has assessed Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban as being CRITICAL-threat locations for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Crime Threats Violent crime remains an ever-present threat in South Africa; however, criminals do not single out U.S. citizens for criminal activity, as most crimes are opportunistic in nature. Common crimes include murder, rape, armed robbery, carjacking, home invasion, property theft, smash and grab, and ATM robbery. Armed robbery is the most prevalent major crime in South Africa, most often involving organized gangs armed with handguns and/or knives. The South African Police Service (SAPS) recently released April 2018 – March 2019 crime statistics for all major crimes.
