N Terms of Local Towns in the NKLM group. However, this was off-set by the decrease in the younger than 15 year age group. [n terms of local towns in the NKLM, the largest town in the area is Springbok with a population of 12790, followed by Steinkopf (7842), Okiep (6304) and Nababeep (5374). In terms of towns closer to the study area, the largest town is Kommaggas (3 116) and Kleinzee (728). The largest town in the KLM is Garies with a population of 2 105, followed by Karkams (1 439) and Kamieskroon (893). In terms of towns near the study area, the closest towns are Hondeklip Bay (543), Soebatsfontein (276) and Koingnaas (105). The number of households in the NOM, NKLM and KLM increased between 2001 and 2011. This is despite the decrease in the population in the KLM. The size of the household sizes in each area also decreased marginally, namely from 3.5 to 3.2 (NOM), 3.4 to 3.2 (NKLM) and 3.2 to 3.0 (KLM) . The majority of the population is in the NLKM and KLM were Coloured (88.1 and 85.6% respectively), followed by Whites (6.6% and 8.1 % respectively) and Black African (4.2% and 5.3% respectively)(Census, 2011). The dominant language within the NKLM and KLM Municipality is Afrikaans (93.2% and 91.8% respectively) with the main other languages being English (1% and 0.9%) and isiXhosa (1%) and I Setswana (0.7%) respectively (Census 2011). The dependency ratio in all three areas decreased from 56.4 to 51.2 (NOM), 52.5 to 49.4 (NKLM) and a high 62.6 to 57.9 (KLM). The decrease represents a positive 1 socio-economic improvement by indicating that there are a decreasing number of people dependent the economically active 15-64 age group. The age dependency ratio is the ratio of dependents, people younger than 15 or older than 64, to the working, age population, those ages 15-64. However, the dependency ratio for the KLM remains higher than the provincial (55.7) and national average (52.7). In terms of percentage of formal dwellings, the number of formal dwellings in the NOM increased from 89.4% in 2001 to 93.8% in 2011. In the NKLM the number of formal dwellings increased from 88.4% to 94.7% for the same period. In the KLM the increase was from 86.3% to 95.6%. The increase in the number of formal I dwellings in the NOM, NKLM and KLM is also reflected in the improvements in service delivery (see Table 3.2). The figures for the NOM, NKLM and KLM are also higher than the provincial figure of 82.4%. Employment The official unemployment rate in the NOM, NKLM and KLM decreased for the ten year period between 2001 and 2011. In the NKLM the rate fell from 33.1% to 22.9%, a decrease of 10.2%. The rate in the KLM dropped from 32.0% to 30.8%, a decrease of only 1.2%. Youth unemployment in the NOM and HLM also decreased over the same period. The unemployment and youth unemployment levels in the 1 NOM, NKLM and KLM are lower than the provincial and national averages. Household income Based on the data from the 2011 Census, 9.5% of the population of the NKLM have J no formal income, 2.5 % earn between 1 and R 4 800, 5.0% earn between R 4 801 and R 9 600 per annum, 17.4% between R 9 601 and 19600 per annum and 20.8% between R 19600 and R 38 200 per annum (Census 2011). The figures for the KLM I are 10.8% have no formal income, 3.8% earn between 1 and R 4800, 5.9% earn 36 Koingnaas-Samsons Bak SIA September 2016 1 J between R 4 801 and R 9600 per annum, 22.4% between R 9 601 and 19600 per annum and 23.9% between R 19 600 and R 38 200 per annum (Census 2011). The poverty gap indicator produced by the World Bank Development Research Group measures poverty using information from household per capita income/consumption. This indicator illustrates the average shortfall of the total population from the poverty line. This measurement is used to reflect the intensity of poverty, which is based on living on less than R3 200 per month for an average sized household. Based on this measure, 55.2% and 66.8% of the households in the NKLM and KLM respectively live I close to or below the poverty line. The low-income levels reflect the limited formal employment opportunities in the NKLM and KLM , specifically the KLM, and the dependence on the agricultural and mining sectors. The low income levels are a ! major concern given that an increasing number of individuals and households are likely to be dependent on social grants. The low income levels also result in reduced 1 spending in the local economy and less tax and rates revenue for the district and local municipality. Education The education levels in the NDM, NKLM and KLM all improved for the period 2001 to 2011, with the percentage of the population over 20 years of age with no schooling in the NDM decreasing from 11 .7% to 6.6%. For the NKLM the decrease was from a high 4.7% to 2.2%, while the figures for the KLM were 8.6% to 5.2%. It is also worth noting that the figures are all lower than the provincial average of 11.3 %. The percentage of the population over the age of 20 with matric also increased in the NDM, NKLM and KLM, from 15.7% to 18.8% in the NDM, 16.6% to 20.0% in the NKLM and 15.0% to 16.4% in the KLM. Despite these increases the figures are significantly lower than the provincial (27.7%) and national (28.4%) averages. Low education levels, specifically higher education, therefore remains a challenge in both the NDM, NKLM and KLM .

  • Climate Variability, Climate Change and Water Resource Strategies for Small Municipalities
    Climate variability, climate change and water resource strategies for small municipalities Water resource management strategies in response to climate change in South Africa, drawing on the analysis of coping strategies adopted by vulnerable communities in the Northern Cape province of South Africa in times of climate variability REPORT TO THE WATER RESEARCH COMMISSION P Mukheibir D Sparks University of Cape Town WRC Project: K5/1500 September 2005 Climate variability, climate change and water resource strategies for small municipalities i Executive summary Background and motivation In many parts of the world, variability in climatic conditions is already resulting in wide ranging impacts, especially on water resources and agriculture. Climate variability is already being observed to be increasing, although there remain uncertainties about the link to climate change. However, the link to water management problems is obvious. Water is a limiting resource for development in South Africa and a change in water supply could have major implications in most sectors of the economy, especially in the agriculture sector. Factors that contribute to vulnerability in water systems in southern Africa include seasonal and inter-annual variations in rainfall, which are amplified by high run-off production and evaporation rates. Current modelling scenarios suggest that there will be significant climate change1 impacts in South Africa (Hewitson et al. 2005). Climate change is expected to alter the present hydrological resources in southern Africa and add pressure on the adaptability of future water resources (Schulze & Perks 2000) . During the past 20 years, most of Africa has experienced extensive droughts, the last three being 1986-88, 1991-92 and 1997-98 (after Chenje & Johnson 1996).

  • Rooifontein Bulk Water Supply on the Remainder of Leliefontein 614, Kamiesberg Municipality, Northern Cape
    1 PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE COMMENT: ROOIFONTEIN BULK WATER SUPPLY ON THE REMAINDER OF LELIEFONTEIN 614, KAMIESBERG MUNICIPALITY, NORTHERN CAPE John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] January 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The overall palaeontological impact significance of the proposed Bulk Water Supply System development on the Remainder of Leliefontein 614 near Rooifontein, Namaqualand klipkoppe region of the Northern Cape, is considered to be LOW. This is because the study area is underlain by unfossiliferous metamorphic basement rocks (granite-gneisses etc) and / or mantled by superficial sediments of low palaeontological sensitivity (e.g. alluvium of the Buffelsrivier), while the development footprint is very small. It is therefore recommended that, pending the exposure of significant new fossils during development, exemption from further specialist palaeontological studies and mitigation be granted for this development. The archaeologist carrying out the field assessment of the study area should report to SAHRA any substantial unmapped areas of alluvial gravels or well-consolidated finer alluvial sediments encountered, since these might contain fossil bones and teeth of mammals. 1. PROJECT OUTLINE The proposed Bulk Water Supply System development on the Remainder of Leliefontein 614 near Rooifontein, Kamiesberg Municipality, Northern Cape involves the following infrastructural components (CTS Heritage 2017; Fig. 1): • Equipment for existing boreholes; • Equipment for additional boreholes; • Construction of a 190 kl steel panel reservoir; • Installation of approximately 6km of pipelines; • Construction of a Water Treatment Works (desalination plant) and associated evaporation ponds (waste brine). 2.

MANNING** Keywords: Ferraria Burm . ex Mill ., floral biology, Iridaceae, new species, taxonomy, tropical Africa, winter rainfall southern Africa ABSTRACT Following field and herbarium investigation of the subequatorial African and mainly western southern African Ferraria Burm . ex Mill . (Iridaceae: Iridoideae), a genus of cormous geophytes, we recognize 18 species, eight more than were included in the 1979 account of the genus by M .P . de Vos . One of these, F. ovata, based on Moraea ovata Thunb . (1800), was only discovered to be a species of Ferraria in 2001, and three more are the result of our different view of De Vos’s taxonomy . In tropical Africa, F. glutinosa is recircumscribed to include only mid- to late summer-flowering plants, usually with a single basal leaf and with purple to brown flowers often marked with yellow . A second summer-flowering species,F. candelabrum, includes taller plants with several basal leaves . Spring and early summer-flowering plants lacking foliage leaves and with yellow flowers from central Africa are referred toF. spithamea or F. welwitschii respectively . The remaining species are restricted to western southern Africa, an area of winter rainfall and summer drought . We rec- ognize three new species: F. flavaand F. ornata from the sandveld of coastal Namaqualand, and F. parva, which has among the smallest flowers in the genus and is restricted to the Western Cape coastal plain between Ganzekraal and Langrietvlei near Hopefield . Ferraria ornata blooms in May and June in response to the first rains of the season .

Three separately evolving lineages, well defined by morphology and allozyme var­ iation, are identified. The isolated southern population, occurring on the southern escarpment and Cape Fold Mountains surrounding the western Litlle Karoo, is named P. kladaroderrna sp. nov., and is characterized by a slit-like ear opening, low number of granules bordering the mental (3--6) and mental and adjacent infralabials (5- 13), the frequent (79%) occurence of the supralabial entering the nostril, and its drab brown base colouration. A northern population, occurring in southern Namibia and the Richtersveld is named P. haackei sp. nov" and is characterized by its more rounded or squared ear opening; high number of granules bordering the mental and adjacent infralabials (11-19), the general exclusion of the supralabial from the nostril (only 3.7% entry), and brighter, lighter colouration. It is further differentiated from P. kladaroderrna on the basis of fixed differences at 11 allozyme loci. Both new species differ from P.

    DEAD OR ALIVE? HUMAN RIGHTS AND LAND REFORM IN NAMAQUALAND COMMONS, SOUTH AFRICA PAPER PRESENTED AT THE BIENNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF COMMON PROPERTY, ‘THE COMMONS IN AN AGE OF GLOBALISATION’, VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE, JUNE 2002 POUL WISBORG1 MARCH 2002 1 PhD Research Fellow, Centre for International Environment and Development Studies, Noragric, Agricultural University of Norway and Programme for Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), School of Government, University of Western Cape, Bellville, South Africa Abstract Dead or alive? Human rights and land reform in Namaqualand commons, South Africa Land tenure is emerging as a controversial human rights issue in both local resource conflicts and globalised rhetoric. While access to land is not a human right according to international law, many tenets concerning the right to food and a secure livelihood, to redress for past violations, to rule of law, non-discrimination and democracy apply to land governance. The relevance of the human rights talk for development is contested. Harri Englund’s notion of “the dead hand of human rights” refers to the gaps between global and local discourses. Land, particularly the commons, may be a problematic human rights issue because local idioms of ownership are embedded, elusive and flexible, and therefore difficult to codify and protect by national or international regimes. Furthermore, the economic pressures of globalisation may contradict civil-political rights and opportunities, leading Upendra Baxi to discuss whether and how there is a ‘future for human rights’. Based on fieldwork in two communal areas, the paper examines rights perceptions in a process of reforming communal land governance in Namaqualand, South Africa.
