The vegetation of Pedlar's Bush was phytosociologically described as part of a study to determine the conservation potential of this forest. Releves were compiled in forty one plots of 0.04 ha each. The data were analysed according to TWINSPAN and Braun-Blanquet classification procedures. Two communittes, four sub-communities and six vanants were described in this forest fragment. Species richness of the communities was statistically compared. Floristic and environmental relationships were also identifi ed by means of DECORANA ordination procedures MOisture, te rrain type and natural disturbances were identified as important environmental factors In the distribution of communities.

  • The City of Mbombela Climate Change Response Strategy and Implementation Plan Internal Draft
    The City of Mbombela Climate Change Response Strategy and Implementation Plan Internal Draft Strategy Prepared for City of Mbombela June 2017 City of Mbombela Climate Change Response Internal Draft Strategy Page i Executive Summary The Mbombela Local Municipality (now the amalgamated City of Mbombela (COM)) in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, has developed a policy, strategy and implementation plan to respond to the pressures and threats of climate change. The policy, strategy and implementation plan will enable and guide the metropolitan’s transition to a green economy and mitigate and manage the effects of climate change in the future. The COM Council approved the Climate change response policy on 18 July 2016 and gives effect to the strategy and implementation plan. The COM recognises the importance of climate change response and its role in the future sustainable social and economic development of the municipal area. The COM acknowledges the multi-faceted threats and opportunities that climate change poses to its economy, vulnerable communities and unique ecosystems. As such, the COM provides a commitment in its Vision to ensure the metropolitan’s resilience to climate change in the future, as per its municipal mandate. The climate change vision for the COM is: “A municipality resilient to climate change, committed to sustainable development and greening solutions and principles to drive future economic and community development in both the rural and urban sectors of the City of Mbombela.” This Vision outlines the COM’s commitment to resilience, sustainable development and greening. : It is critical that these commitments contribute to the COM economy and its future growth, while simultaneously uplifting the community.

  • The Geology and Geochemistry of the Sterkspruit Intrusion, Barberton Mountain Land, Mpumalanga Province
    THE GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE STERKSPRUIT INTRUSION, BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE Gavin Patrick Conway A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 1997 11 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. __I_It __ ·daYOf A~V\.-~t 19 't1-- 111 ABSTRACT The Sterkspruit Intrusion, in the south-western portion of the Barberton greenstone belt, is a sill-like body containing rocks of gabbroic to dioritic composition. It is hosted by a sequence of komatiitic basalts and komatiites of the Lower Onverwacht Group. The intrusion is considered unique in this area in that it lacks ultramafic components and has no affinities with the surrounding mafic- to- ultramafic lavas. The gabbroic suite also contains an unusual abundance of quartz, and the chill margin shows an evolved quartz-normative, tholeiitic parental magma. Based on petrographic and geochemical evidence, the intrusion can be subdivided into four gabbroic zones and a quartz diorite, which is an end product of a differentiating magma. The chill margin records an MgO content of 4.8%, an Mg# of 42, an Si02 value of 52.5% and a normative plagioclase composition of An 44. The sill-like nature of the body, indicated by geochemical trends, and the steep sub-vertical layering, point to a body that has been tilted along with the surrounding lavas.

  • Initiation Africa! with Victoria More and Sarah Nisse Mpumalanga Province, South Africa November 6 –18, 2018 Are You Ready to Embrace These Powers with Me?
    Initiation Africa! With Victoria More and Sarah Nisse Mpumalanga Province, South Africa November 6 –18, 2018 Are You Ready to Embrace these powers with me? In early 2015 I received a call from Spirit. This call was in the form of an ever growing craving in my soul, a yearning to "just go" without knowing where the funds were coming from or how the journey would unfold. This call was asking me to embark on a journey to a continent I had only ever dreamed of stepping foot on — Africa. Within months, the Universe worked its magic and before I knew it I was on a plane to a very sacred and powerful place: the base of the Nilotic Meridian in South Africa. Upon stepping on her soil, I sobbed. At the time I could not identify all of the feelings and magic flowing through me, but I knew that this wondrous land was full of enchanting powers and miraculous events. I was home. I was finally in my Soul's Place. I immersed in the energy of this Mother Land for 10 days. Each day held a different initiation, a thinning of the veil, and a breakdown of all I thought I had ever "known" as it now transformed into what I always knew: that this was the place which merged the frequencies of Heaven and Earth. During those 10 days I was approached by group of beings, whom I have dubbed "The Creationaries". They showed me my work in Africa, they showed me that I would be bringing people there to REMEMBER their true power and connection to the universe.

Muller in 1972 in the Cythna Letty Nature Reserve in Mpumalanga, does not match existing material of Sartidia, a genus comprising four species. The new species, S. dewinteri J. Munday & L. Fish, is most similar to S. jucunda (Schweick.) De Winter but differs in the leaf sheath colour, lower leaf blade surface texture, spikelet length and upper glume length. It differs also from all other species in the genus in the shape and branching of the inflorescence, the relative length of the lateral awns to the median awn, lemma body surface texture, callus shape and hair arrangement, palea shape and distribution. Sartidia dewinteri differs anatomically from S. angolensis and S. vanderystii in that the stereome strands in the leaf blades project partly or almost completely into the first order vascular bundles rather than not at all, and from S.

  • The Classic Tour: Johannesburg Via Sabie to the Cape
    THE CLASSIC TOUR: JOHANNESBURG VIA SABIE TO THE CAPE Arrival at Johannesburg Airport, take-over the rented car and drive via Dullstroom over the Long Tom Pass, one of the highest and most scenic South African mountain passes, to Villa Ticino. The picturesque, malaria free mountain village of Sabie in Mpumalanga is reached after four to five hours comfortable driving from Johannesburg International Airport or one hours drive from the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. The province of Mpumalanga (“land of the rising sun”) is world renown for its scenic splendours and breathtaking beauty. Villa Ticino in Sabie is therefore the ideal and most central base to acclimatise and to explore the numerous key sights in the vicinity (see sightseeing day tours). Day tour 1: Panorama Route Start in Sabie, gateway to the famous Panorama Route, to view the spectacular Lone Creek waterfall. Thereafter depart to the Pinnacle and God’s Window from where the view wanders on clear days to the Lowveld about 1000 m below. Visit two waterfalls before carrying on to view the cylindrical rock shapes at Bourke’s Luck Potholes and the majestic Blyde River Canyon with the impressive Three Rondavels before heading via the gravel road to the old gold mining town of Pilgrim’s Rest and back to Sabie. Day tour 2: Natural Beauty Tour From Sabie drive to the Sudwala Caves being the oldest known caves and join the guided tour. Thereafter depart to Kaapsehoop, a historical village situated on a plateau. A marked walkway leads to the slope with a beautiful view over the lower lying area, sometimes joined by wild horses.
