Cape Town Scraps Drought Levy and Introduces Rewards Map Legalbrief | your legal news hub Tuesday 28 September 2021 Cape Town scraps drought levy and introduces rewards map Cape Town continues to search for effective measures to mitigate the severe drought crisis confronting the city, scrapping a contentious drought levy while introducing an interactive map aimed at rewarding households that save water, writes Legalbrief. The proposal for the drought levy was withdrawn at a special sitting on Friday last week. According to a report on the allAfrica site, council members debated the proposal following a strong public backlash to the idea since it was mooted on 14 January. Opposition and ruling party councillors said a U-turn on the proposal should be strongly considered following the public's input, which included 55 000 from one web site alone. A report on the Mail & Guardian Online site notes that the special council meeting also voted both to limit Mayor Patricia De Lille’s powers to handle the drought crisis, and to introduce punitive tariff measures for residents. Deputy Mayor Ian Neilson introduced an amendment whereby De Lille’s statutory powers would remain the same, but her powers to deal with the drought unilaterally would now be shared by the mayoral committee as a whole. Reporting lines will also change, with executive director for water affairs Gisela Kaiser reporting final outcomes to Neilson and mayoral committee member for water affairs Xanthea Limberg. Before voting, De Lille raised objections to the amendment, saying she had not been consulted. In the end, 125 councillors voted for Neilson’s amendment, while 57 voted against it, and three abstained. Cape Town residents labelled the mooted drought levy as punitive, unfair and overtaxing. According to a Cape Argus report, the city received 66 000 comments on the drought levy, but just 36 444 were categorised, while the rest weren’t used. Just more than 34% of residents commented that it was unfair and punitive, 21.9% said the drought was due to bad planning and 14.57% said they were overtaxed. Residents were also opposed to the methodology using property values as a yardstick to determine the drought charge as opposed to water consumption. Instead of going ahead with a drought charge, the city is set to introduce a new punitive tariff for households using 6 000 litres of water or more a month. ‘The proposed drought charge is likely to be dropped after a massive outcry from Capetonians. We are now going to have to make deep cuts to important projects,’ De Lille is quoted in the report as saying. Level 6B water restrictions will be implemented on 1 February. This means residents have to reduce their water usage to 50l per person per day. The use of boreholes and well points will be restricted even more. Plans are also afoot in preparation for Day Zero. Once Day Zero kicks in and water collection points are activated, affected properties will be charged a flat rate of R104.88 a month to cover the costs of supplying water to collection points to ensure that an income is available to maintain the service. Meanwhile, Cape Town has launched a water map to help residents track their water usage. An SA News report quotes Mayor Patricia de Lille as saying: ‘Our water map marks residential properties using less than 10 500l per month with green dots. The map is a transparent tool and will assist in actively managing and reducing consumption to avoid Day Zero.’ Day Zero will come when dam levels reach 13.5% and most taps will be turned off. ‘Households with higher consumption may have many people living on the property or may have an undetected water leak. The city continues its interventions with these users,’ said De Lille. The map only shows consumption for free-standing houses and not cluster housing, flats or other land uses. In addition, the map shows consumption for the previous month and is updated around the third week of the following month. For example, January 2018 consumption information will be available in the third week of February 2018. ‘Neighbourhoods should have constructive engagements with one another to ensure that their neighbourhood is painted green. Mobilise groups in your area in order to collectively manage water consumption,’ said the mayor. She said about 54% of the city’s consumers were saving water to avoid the fast-approaching Day Zero, which was estimated to be on 22 April 2018. See ANALYSES section (below) And, as Day Zero looms, the Department of Water and Sanitation says it is preparing to extract the last 10% from the two remaining sources of water in the region. According to a HuffPost SA report, Trevor Balz, who is responsible for the department's drought-intervention programme, took to Twitter this weekend to announce the drastic measures, saying: ‘We are preparing ourselves to be able to extract the last 10% from the Voëlvlei and Theewaterskloof dams, and our construction teams will be working in those dams from the end of January onwards, so that we can extract all the water from what is commonly called “dead storage”.’ The extraction is well-timed, says Dr Kevin Winter, an academic and lecturer linked to the Future Water Research Institute at the University of Cape Town. ‘It makes sense to squeeze out as much as possible,’ the report quotes him as saying. Balzer also said the department would monitor the use of the Western Cape's groundwater, which is being used in large quantities by the agricultural sector, the report notes. Western Cape Premier Helen Zille wrote to President Jacob Zuma over the weekend to request that the drought in the Western Cape be declared a national disaster. A Cape Argus report notes that Zille said she had not received any feedback from Zuma’s office. In her weekly Daily Maverick column, Zille said given the current situation, the challenge exceeds anything a major city has had to face anywhere in the world since World War II or the 9/11 attacks in New York City. Colin Deiner, head of the Western Cape disaster risk management service, said the SANDF and SAPS would be ready to be deployed. A major trade union has criticised Cape Town for employing a PR agency to manage its drought response. While the ANC stole outside the legal framework, the DA ‘thieves’ in the City of Cape Town stole within the legal framework, Cosatu charged last week. According to a Mail & Guardian Online report, the trade union federation was responding to reports that the DA-run City of Cape Town was paying a public relations firm, Resolve Communications, headed by its former leader Tony Leon and communications director Nick Clelland, R658 000 to improve the City’s drought crisis communication. Cosatu spokesperson Sizwe Pamla said the reports added to the ‘new brand of corruption’ emerging from the DA since Cape Town City manager Achmat Ebrahim stepped down. ‘Tony Leon and an ex-employee of the City of Cape Town are being paid half a million rand to tell Capetonians that it is not raining,’ Pamla said. Resolve Communications Lauren Kent said Cosatu’s ‘statement is not worth responding to’. ‘It is a vast undertaking to develop programmes that can reach each and every resident. Resolve provides guidance on how best this can be achieved,’ the city said. ‘Changing behaviour is more cost-effective than building new infrastructure.’ And, a scientist has warned that the city's desalination efforts may backfire. After the City of Cape Town spent at least half a billion rand to build desalination plants, the ‘purified’ seawater these produce would have been cleared of little more than floating nappies and junk before it was declared safe to drink – despite the presence of organisms such as E. coli, SA researchers warned. According to a Mail & Guardian Online report, University of Western Cape Chemistry Professor Leslie Petrik said last week: ‘Almost no treatment, other than screening for large objects like nappies, is done on the sewage being released into the ocean hourly in large volumes all along our coastline. Moreover … many inland sewerage facilities are not working properly and the effluent released from these poor facilities are highly contaminated and polluting our rivers and dams.’ ‘This effluent is also being transported to the ocean. Any water intake from river, dam or ocean will be contaminated,’ Petrik said. Last year, Petrik and other researchers from three SA universities published an article in the South African Journal of Science on the probable public health risk posed by the planned desalination plants in Cape Town. ‘The biggest problem is that our national water guidelines do not require statutory testing for persistent pollutants,’ Petrik said. De Lille said the city had appointed an emergency water augmentation environmental monitoring committee, which included national, provincial and local government officials, to monitor the health risk..

  • Statement by the City's Executive Mayor, Patricia De Lille
    Statement by the City’s Executive Mayor, Patricia de Lille Announcement of new Mayoral Committee The recent general elections have precipitated a change to the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee (Mayco), with two previous members having taken up seats in the National Parliament. This has given me an opportunity to consider the best needs of the City and the kind of diverse leadership required to move our agenda forward across all platforms. As such, I have used the two vacancies to promote new councillors. I have also decided to strengthen our commitment to and work with South African Local Government Association (SALGA) by giving Alderman Demetri Qually more time to dedicate to his strategic chairmanship of SALGA Western Cape. I am confident that this newly constituted Mayco team is the right blend of youth and experience, knowledge and expertise, and that it will help us to continue to deliver world-class standards of City governance. The new Mayoral Committee is as follows: 1. Transport for Cape Town: Councillor Brett Herron 2. Community Services and Special Projects: Alderman Belinda Walker 3. Economic, Environment and Spatial Planning: Councillor Johan van der Merwe (new member of Mayco) Cllr van der Merwe has been promoted to Mayco for the first time. He has served the City Council for many years and has occupied leadership positions within and outside of the caucus. He has served on numerous boards and was instrumental in devising a new spatial approach to the greater Tygerberg region’s urban regeneration in the formation of the Greater Tygerberg Partnership.

  • Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa
    Constructing Ambiguous Identities: Negotiating Race, Respect, and Social Change in ‘Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa Daniel Patrick Hammett Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration This thesis has been composed by myself from the results of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged. It has not been submitted in any previous application for a degree. i Abstract South African social relations in the second decade of democracy remain framed by race. Spatial and social lived realities, the continued importance of belonging – to feel part of a community, mean that identifying as ‘coloured’ in South Africa continues to be contested, fluid and often ambiguous. This thesis considers the changing social location of ‘coloured’ teachers through the narratives of former and current teachers and students. Education is used as a site through which to explore the wider social impacts of social and spatial engineering during and subsequent to apartheid. Two key themes are examined in the space of education, those of racial identity and of respect. These are brought together in an interwoven narrative to consider whether or not ‘coloured’ teachers in the post-apartheid period are respected and the historical trajectories leading to the contemporary situation. Two main concerns are addressed. The first considers the question of racial identification to constructions of self-identity. Working with post-colonial theory and notions of mimicry and ambivalence, the relationship between teachers and the identifier ‘coloured’ is shown to be problematic and contested. Second, and connected to teachers’ engagement with racialised identities, is the notion of respect. As with claims to identity and racial categorisation, the concept of respect is considered as mutable and dynamic and rendered with contextually subjective meanings that are often contested and ambivalent.

  • Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa's Dominant
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 © Copyright by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System by Safia Abukar Farole Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Kathleen Bawn, Chair In countries ruled by a single party for a long period of time, how does political opposition to the ruling party grow? In this dissertation, I study the growth in support for the Democratic Alliance (DA) party, which is the largest opposition party in South Africa. South Africa is a case of democratic dominant party rule, a party system in which fair but uncompetitive elections are held. I argue that opposition party growth in dominant party systems is explained by the strategies that opposition parties adopt in local government and the factors that shape political competition in local politics. I argue that opposition parties can use time spent in local government to expand beyond their base by delivering services effectively and outperforming the ruling party. I also argue that performance in subnational political office helps opposition parties build a reputation for good governance, which is appealing to ruling party ii. supporters who are looking for an alternative. Finally, I argue that opposition parties use candidate nominations for local elections as a means to appeal to constituents that are vital to the ruling party’s coalition.

  • How Cape Town Averted ‘Day Zero,’ 2017 – 2018
    KEEPING THE TAPS RUNNING: HOW CAPE TOWN AVERTED ‘DAY ZERO,’ 2017 – 2018 SYNOPSIS In 2017, Cape Town, South Africa, was on a countdown to disaster. An unprecedented and wholly unforeseen third consecutive year of drought threatened to cut off water to the city’s four million citizens. Faced with the prospect of running dangerously low on potable water, local officials raced against time to avert “Day Zero”—the date on which they would have to shut off drinking water to most businesses and homes in the city. Cape Town’s government responded effectively to the fast-worsening and potentially cataclysmic situation. Key to the effort was a broad, multipronged information campaign that overcame skepticism and enlisted the support of a socially and economically diverse citizenry as well as private companies. Combined with other measures such as improving data management and upgrading technology, the strategy averted disaster. By the time the drought eased in 2018, Capetonians had cut their water usage by nearly 60% from 2015 levels. With each resident using little more than 50 liters per day, Cape Town achieved one of the lowest per capita water consumption rates of any major city in the world. The success set a benchmark for cities around the world that confront the uncertainties of a shifting global climate. Leon Schreiber drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in Cape Town, South Africa, in November 2018. Case published February 2019. INTRODUCTION In the waning days of 2017, temperatures municipal drinking water each resident could use rose as summer returned to Cape Town, South at home without incurring steep surcharges.

  • Michael Muvondori
    Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate how the media have been reporting on land and agrarian reform developments in South Africa focusing on the post green paper (2011). Land and agrarian reform has been a sensitive field in the post-apartheid South Africa mainly because of the racial disparity on land ownership and the widening gap between the rich and poor. This study explores the literature available on land and agrarian reform, tracing the history of dispossession back to 1650 when Jan van Riebeck built a Fort in Cape Town in the shape of designated reserves. The 1894 Glen Grey Act, the 1913 Native Land Act and the 1936 Native Trust and Land Act as well as sundry other apartheid racist laws led to forced removals of native South African from their fertile lands into reserves, whilst the minority whites were acquiring vast tracks of farmland (Hendricks 2000, Baldwin 1975). This study further explores post apartheid government’s efforts to reverse the history of dispossession. The Department of Land Affairs introduced sundry policy interventions since 1994 which were supported by the Constitution of South Africa and in line with the dictates of the RDP program. These include the White Paper on Land Affairs (1997) policy framework, and several laws on land tenure, restitution and redistribution. South African democracy is more than two decades old, yet the land reform process is far from achieving the 30% target which had been set to be met in five years. More than three quarters of the productive agricultural land is still in the hands of the white minority, communal tenure system have not yet fully been addressed, farm labourers are still working under squalid, land restitution has been successful mainly on urban financial compensation claims and some rural land claims are still to be resolved.

Mnr. Philip Rabinowitz, of Vinnige Phil soos hy in atletiekkringe bekend is, is gisteroggend omstreeks 05:55 in die ouderdom van 104 in sy huis in Houtbaai oorlede. Na verneem word, het Rabinowitz Dinsdag ’n beroerte gehad en kon hy sedertdien nie praat nie. Sy begrafnisdiens is gistermiddag volgens die Joodse tradisie in Pinelands gehou. Die diens is deur rabbi Desmond Maizels gelei. ’n Bewoë mnr. Hannes Wahl, Rabinowitz se afrigter van die afgelope 25 jaar, het gesê hy was die vriendelikste mens wat hy ooit geken het. “Ek gaan hom baie, baie mis.
