The research aims to understand how key policy interventions introduced by the democratic national government have performed over the past 20 years in this specific geographic area. The policy examined relate specifically to of agriculture, labour, housing, land reform, black economic empowerment, and substance abuse. The findings show mixed results.

Often, policy is simply unable to keep up with the changing landscape and the new problems that continue to develop. All the while the table grape industry at the heart of this settlement has proved to be incredibly flexible in adapting. This report consists of two sections.

Hunger Is Growing, Emergency Food Aid Is Dwindling
Hunger is growing, emergency food aid is dwindling “Community kitchens crying out for help and support” EDP Report to WCG Humanitarian Cluster Committee 13 July 2020 Introduction Food insecurity in poor and vulnerable communities in Cape Town and the Western Cape was prevalent before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic (CoCT Food Systems and Food Security Study, 2014; Western Cape Government Household Food and Nutrition Security Strategic Framework, 2016). The pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity in poor and vulnerable communities in three ways: 1. Impact of lockdown. Lockdown, and curtailment of economic activities since end-March, has neGatively affected the livelihoods of the ‘existing poor’, i.e. street traders, spaza shops, small scale fishers and farmers, seasonal farm workers, as well as the circumstances of the ‘newly poor’, through job losses and small business closures. A recent Oxfam report confirmed this trend worldwide: “New hunGer hotspots are also emerGinG. Middle-income countries such as India, South Africa, and Brazil are experiencinG rapidly risinG levels of hunGer as millions of people that were just about managing have been tipped over the edge by the pandemic”. (The Hunger Virus: How Covid-19 is fuelling hunger in a hungry world, Oxfam, July 2020.) 2. Poor performance of national government. Research by Prof Jeremy Seekings has shown that “the total amount of food distributed (through food parcels and feeding schemes) in the first three months of the lockdown was a tiny fraction of what was needed urGently – and was even a small fraction of what would ordinarily have been distributed without a lockdown. -

Politics of Race and Racism II On-site in Cape Town, South Africa AFRS-3500 (3 credits) South Africa: Politics of Race and Racism This syllabus is representative of a typical semester. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of unique learning opportunities, actual course content varies from semester to semester.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PROPOSED GEORGE WESTERN BYPASS ROAD N2 TO OUTENIQUA PASS GEORGE WESTERN CAPE PROVINCE Prepared for ARCUS GIBB (Pty) Ltd On behalf of DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND PUBLIC WORKS, PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION, WESTERN CAPE By Jonathan Kaplan Agency for Cultural Resource Management P.O.

Jonathan Kaplan Abridged CV Surname: Kaplan First names: Jonathan Michael Date of Birth: 23 September, 1961 University of Cape Town, South Africa. MA (Archaeology) 1989 Since 1991 I have been working as an independent archaeological consultant specialising in Archaeological Impact Assessment with a focus on pre-colonial Stone Age, Herder and Rock Art studies. I trade under the name Agency for Cultural Resource Management. 1 Executive summary A Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed George Western Bypass Road – N2 to Outeniqua Pass has identified no significant impacts to pre-colonial archaeological material that will need to be mitigated prior to road construction activities. Six proposed alternative alignments (two in the southern sector and four in the northern sector) have been identified and each one was searched for archaeological remains. Since at least the early 1700’s, much of the affected area has been modified and severely altered through agricultural activities (mainly pasture farming) and is therefore in an already transformed state. -
