The first defendant is an alleged en commandite partnership between Cameron-Dow and the second defendant (‘Laubscher’). The fourth defendant (‘Basic Blue’) is a close corporation in which Laubscher holds a 70% member’s interest. The third defendant is the fishing vessel Juliette, in relation to which Cameron-Dow says that he and Laubscher had a 40:60 partnership. Cameron-Dow is an attorney with an interest in fishing. Laubscher is a fisherman and qualified skipper. [2] The only witnesses were Cameron-Dow and Laubscher. Mr van Embden appeared for the former. Mr Walther appeared for Laubscher and Basic Blue.1 [3] Cameron-Dow sues for repayment of money he lent to the alleged partnership and for an accounting by Laubscher in respect of the partnership (‘the main claims’). In the alternative, and if, as Laubscher alleges, there was no partnership, Cameron-Dow seeks repayment of the same money on the basis that it was lent to Laubscher personally (‘the alternative claim’).

DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. © Water Research Commission ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fog forms the main source of water for plants and animals in many arid regions of the world. It is only relatively recently that fog water has been collected for domestic consumption. Such projects are now being researched and implemented in many countries throughout the world. In South Africa too, research has been ongoing since 1995 to determine whether fog water harvesting would be feasible, and if so, where the optimal sites for such endeavours would be located and how much water could be collected. Preliminary research indicated that fog water collection (FWC) could be viable in the mountainous regions of the country and along the West Coast where fog occurred frequently.

It is well known that the development of the tourism sector is one of government’s key priorities as encapsulated in the National Development Plan (NDP). The NDP calls for emphasis to be placed on increasing the number of tourists entering South Africa, making doing business with South Africa easier to attract more business travellers, as well as promoting the Southern African region as an international tourism destination by emphasising the broader biodiversity of the region as a tourism product. We continue to focus our efforts on harnessing the potential of this sector, not only for our country’s GDP growth, but also for skills development and job creation in the tourism sector. We are committed to ensuring that there is a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability. In 2016, over 10 million tourist arrivals were recorded in South Africa, a 13% increase from 2015. The sector accounted for 4.5% of total employment in 2015. There are over 700 000 jobs in the tourism sector, and we can improve these numbers only if private and public interest support each other.

  • The State of Logistics in South Africa: the Effect of Road Conditions on Logistics
    THE STATE OF LOGISTICS IN SOUTH AFRICA: THE EFFECT OF ROAD CONDITIONS ON LOGISTICS D.J. King1, W. Bean2, W.J. vdM. Steyn3, J. Havenga4 1 CSIR Built Environment Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa; email: [email protected] 2 CSIR Built Environment Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa; email: [email protected] 3 Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment & IT, University of Pretoria Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa; email: [email protected] 4 CSCM, Department of Logistics, Stellenbosch University Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa; email: [email protected] Abstract To prosper, a country’s economy depends, inter alia, on an efficient logistical system to ensure that goods can be transported between producers and users at the lowest cost. The costs associated with logistics include transport, storage, inventory, and management costs. In South Africa transport costs represents more than 50% of total logistics cost and this figure is probably even higher for other African countries. The condition of transport infrastructure of a country directly influences the transport cost and therefore the logistics cost of that country. In this paper the effects of road conditions on the costs of logistics are evaluated. This is done through analysis of data obtained from a Logistics Service Provider on actual truck costs (maintenance and repair) as well as road condition data for the routes used by the company. Analysis of the data indicates that the logistics costs increases significantly with decreasing road conditions. 1. THE STATE OF LOGISTICS IN SOUTH AFRICA The ability to measure logistics costs on a regular basis creates a continuous macro understanding of the state of logistics in a country or region, and also makes it possible to gauge the impact of various public and private sector initiatives to reduce such logistics costs.
