    Riversdale’sRiversdale’s Zambezi Zambezi River River BargingBarging Project, Project, Zambezi Zambezi River, River, MozambiqueMozambique FinalEnvironmental Environmental and andSocial Social Impact Impact AssessmentAssessment Report Report August 2011 Delivering sustainable solutions in a more competitive world NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY INTRODUCTION An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been compiled for the proposed Zambezi River Coal Barging Project, on behalf of Riversdale Mozambique Limitada (hereafter referred to as RML). RML is a 65%-owned subsidiary of Riversdale Mining Limited, a mining company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, with operations in South Africa and Mozambique. The other 35% of RML is owned by Tata Steel, a major Indian steel producer. An ESIA is a systematic process that predicts and evaluates the potential impacts a proposed project may have on aspects of the physical, biological, socio-economic and human environment as determined by specialist studies and analyses of the specific environment. Mitigation measures, as set out in the approved environmental management plan, are then developed and incorporated into the Project execution plan to eliminate, minimise or reduce adverse impacts and, where practicable, to enhance benefits. RML have appointed Environmental Resources Management Southern Africa Pty Ltd (ERM) in partnership with Impacto Associados Lda (Impacto) as the independent consultants to undertake the ESIA for the Zambezi River Coal Barging Project, the main results of which are presented in this non-technical summary. EIA Process The ESIA process followed was designed to comply with the relevant Mozambican environmental legislation. Accordingly, the ESIA process comprised of a number of key steps, namely: • Project Registration • EPDA Phase (also known as Scoping Phase, and culminating in an EPDA Report) • Specialist Studies • Impact Assessment Phase (culminating in an ESIA Report).

  • The Political Sublime. Reading Kok Nam, Mozambican Photographer (1939-2012)
    The Political Sublime. Reading Kok Nam, Mozambican photographer (1939-2012) RUI ASSUBUJI History Department, University of the Western Cape PATRICIA HAYES History Department, University of the Western Cape Kok Nam began his photographic career at Studio Focus in Lourenço Marques in the 1950s, graduated to the newspaper Notícias and joined Tempo magazine in the early 1970s. Most recently he worked at the journal Savana as a photojournalist and later director. This article opens with an account of the relationship that developed between Kok Nam and the late President Samora Machel, starting with the photo- grapher’s portrait of Machel in Nachingwea in November 1974 before Independence. It traces an arc through the Popular Republic (1976-1990) from political revelation at its inception to the difficult years of civil war and Machel’s death in the plane crash at Mbuzini in 1986. The article then engages in a series of photo-commentaries across a selection of Kok Nam’s photographs, several published in their time but others selected retrospectively by Kok Nam for later exhibition and circulation. The approach taken is that of ‘association’, exploring the connections between the photographs, their histories both then and in the intervening years and other artifacts and mediums of cultural expression that deal with similar issues or signifiers picked up in the images. Among the signifiers picked up in the article are soldiers, pigs, feet, empty villages, washing, doves and bridges. The central argument is that Kok Nam participated with many others in a kind of collective hallucination during the Popular Republic, caught up in the ‘political sublime’.

  • WIDER Working Paper 2017/191 the Impact of Infrastructure Shocks On
    WIDER Working Paper 2017/191 The impact of infrastructure shocks on agricultural markets Evidence from the Zambezi river in Mozambique César Salazar1 and Sam Jones2 November 2017 Abstract: Prior to 2009, there was no direct road connection between the southern regions of Mozambique—where the capital city is located—and the more agriculturally-productive central and northern regions. In this paper, we leverage the opening of a major road bridge to identify the impact of enhanced domestic transport infrastructure on agricultural market performance. We apply a generalized difference-in-difference estimator within a dyadic regression context. While we find no reduction in the market price differential around the time the bridge opened for all treated market pairs, there is a significant and persistent price impact only among previously disconnected markets located close to the new bridge. This suggests that new infrastructure can enhance market performance, but such benefits are spatially limited.

    LOADTEST O-Cell® Technology, Bridges over the Zambezi River, Mozambique Project: Caia Bridge Location: Caia, Mozambique Client: Mota-Engil / Soares da Costa Foundation Contractor: Trevi Spa. Project Overview Caia is a town on the south bank of the Zambezi River in Sofala Province, Mozambique. It is a relatively small town with few modern facilities. In March 2007, construction commenced on what would be the longest road bridge to span the Zambezi. The bridge over the Zambezi was officially opened on August 1, 2009, and with some controversy, was named after the current president of Mozambique, Armando Emilio Cage and plate preparation Guebuza. With a length of 2.376 Km and a width of 16 m it is longer than the bridges at Tete and Katima Mulilo, exceeded only by the Dona Ana Bridge, which has been restored as a rail only bridge. The anticipated bridge was crucial in linking the Sofala Province and the Zambezia Province. The Caia bridge cost an estimated US$80 million. Load testing program A single-level O-cell test was performed on a 1500 mm pile, installed by Trevi S.p.A. who began construction on the Internal view of O-cell assembly dedicated test pile. The nominal test pile was excavated to a toe elevation of -35.60 metres under bentonite slurry.
