    6 THE ENVIRONMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE SITES The purpose of this section is to describe the environments associated with the proposed alternative sites. The information contained herein was extracted from the relevant specialist studies. Please refer to Section 3.5 for a list of all the relevant specialists and their fields of expertise and to Appendix E for the original specialist reports. 6.1 Brazil Site 6.1.1 Physical (a) Location The Brazil site is situated in the Kleinzee / Nolloth region of the Northern Cape, within the jurisdiction of the Nama-Khoi Municipality ( Figure 16). The site has the following co-ordinates: 29°48’51.40’’S and 17°4’42.21’’E. The Brazil site is situated approximately 500 km north of Cape Town and 100 km west-southwest of Springbok. Kleinzee is located 15 km north, Koiingnaas is 90 km south and Kamieskroon is located 90 km southeast of the Brazil site.

The coast is composed of both sandy and rocky shores. The topography is characterised by a small fore-dune complex immediately adjacent to the coast with the highest elevation of approximately nine mamsl. Further inland the general elevation depresses to about five mamsl in the middle of the study area and then gradually rises towards the east.

    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2012/13 Land and its p Land and its people Situated at the southern tip of Africa, South Africa boasts an amazing variety of natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife, birds, Land and its p plant species and mineral wealth. In addi- tion, its population comprises a unique diversity of people and cultures. The southern tip of Africa is also where archaeologists discovered 2,5-million-year- old fossils of man’s earliest ancestors, as well as 100 000-year-old remains of modern man. The land Stretching latitudinally from 22°S to 35°S and longitudinally from 17°E to 33°E, South Africa’s surface area covers 1 219 602 km2. According to Census 2011, the shift of the national boundary over the Indian Ocean in the north-east corner of KwaZulu-Natal to cater for the Isimangaliso Wetland Park led to the increase in South Africa’s land area. Physical features range from bushveld, grasslands, forests, deserts and majestic mountain peaks, to wide unspoilt beaches and coastal wetlands. The country shares common bound- aries with Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland, while the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho is landlocked by South African territory in the south-east. The 3 000-km shoreline stretching from the Mozambican border in the east to the Namibian border in the west is surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian oceans, which meet at Cape Point in the continent’s south- western corner. Prince Edward and Marion islands, annexed by South Africa in 1947, lie some 1 920 km south-east of Cape Town.

This site is located on Portion 6 of the Farm Steenkamps Pan number 419, approximately 35 km northeast of Upington (Fig. 1). The report includes the geology and mineral potential of the surrounding area and confirmation that no dolomitic deposits are to be found at this site. The Council for Geoscience provides this response in order to assist Webber Wentzel meet the requirements of regulations under Section 53 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act of 2002. The geology of the proposed site and surrounding area was obtained from the 1:250 000 - scale 2820 Upington geological map (Geological Survey, 1988) and explanation (Moen, 2007) and the 1:250 000 - scale 2820 Upington metallogenic map (Council for Geoscience, 1997). Information on the minerals and possible mineral potential was derived from this metallogenic map, together with the map explanation (Du Toit, 1998).

    6 SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASELINE: 6.1 INTRODUCTION The proposed wind farm project is located within the Northern Cape Province, the Namakwa District Municipality (DM) and the Richtersveld Local Municipality (LM). The Namakwa District Municipality is in the western part of the Northern Cape. The province consists of six local municipalities and covers a geographical area of approximately 126, 747 km². It is bordered by the Siyanda and Pixley ka Seme Districts of the Northern Cape Province to the North-East and East, respectively, and by the Western Cape Province to the South (the West Coast, Boland and Central Karoo District Municipalities). The Atlantic Ocean forms the Western boundary, while the Gariep (Orange) River forms the Northern border with Namibia. The Richtersveld LM comprises of the following towns; Port Nolloth, Lekkersing, Kuboes, Sanddrift, Eksteenfontein, Sendelingsdrift and Alexander Bay. The project site is located on communal land that was formerly the Richtersveld “Coloured Reserve” during the Apartheid era. As part of the transformation and land restitution process, the land has since been transferred back to the ‘Richtersveld community’. For the purpose of this study, the geographic areas described in the socio- economic baseline include the Namakwa DM, Richtersveld LM, and the four rural towns that comprise the Richtersveld community (Lekkersing, Kuboes, Sanddrift and Eksteenfontein) given that they are the beneficiaries of the land on which the proposed site will be located. Figure 4.1 shows the directly affected, neighbouring municipalities and the location of the proposed project site. 6.1.1 Local Population Overview – Relevance of Performance Standard 7: Indigenous People The proposed wind farm project will be located on communal land that was given back to the Richtersveld community as part of the transformation process.
