INTRODUCTION FORWORD BY THE MAYOR We are entering a 2nd year in lockdown. We have lost family and acquaintances due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We still strive to the new norm to serve our communities and provide basic services. Because we are under very difficult circumstances we always strive to be the best municipality and do we want to established an IDP that speaks to our people’s needs. This council will focus on ensuring that programmes and projects are implemented. Kamiesberg rural area has been identified as the “war on poverty” zone and must it be ensured that economic development will be the focus area in the IDP to create sustainable job opportunities. We must adhere to COVID 19 regulations. Allow me to thank my colleagues, and municipal officials for their positive contributions because together we can make a developing change. FORWORD BY THE MUNICIPAL MANAGER The integrated Development Plan (IDP) is the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning budgeting, management and decision - making process in a municipality. The Local Government Municipal System Act, No.32.2000 (MSA) mandates Municipalities to review Integrated Development Plans annually in accordance with an assessment of its performance measurements. Consequently this IDP review for 2021/22 was compiled in accordance with section 34 of the MSA. This IDP provides an overall key performance indicators as well as key performance areas that will serve as a basis for monitoring the Kamiesberg Local Municipality’s progress in rendering services to its communities. We continue to witness how the Covid-19 global pandemic manifests throughout society. Within a year, we have witnessed how this pandemic has crippled economies and the financial livelihood “Once you carry your own water, you will learn the value of each drop” Page 6 Integrated Development Plan 2021 / 2022 2021 and wellbeing of all citizens, particularly the most vulnerable, have come under significant threat. We need to stand as collective, seeking mutual solutions that will propel us to a sustainable means of living post Covid-19.

  • Namaqualand and Challenges to the Law Community Resource
    •' **• • v ^ WiKSHOr'IMPOLITICIALT ... , , AWD POLICY ANALYSi • ; ' st9K«onTHp^n»< '" •wJ^B^W-'EP.SrTY NAMAQUALAND AND CHALLENGES TO THE LAW: COMMUNITY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND LEGAL FRAMEWORKS Henk Smith Land reform in the arid Namaqualand region of South Africa offers unique challenges. Most of the land is owned by large mining companies and white commercial farmers. The government's restitution programme which addresses dispossession under post 1913 Apartheid land laws, will not be the major instrument for land reform in Namaqualand. Most dispossession of indigenous Nama people occurred during the previous century or the State was not directly involved. Redistribution and land acquisition for those in need of land based income opportunities and qualifying for State assistance will to some extent deal with unequal land distribution pattern. Surface use of mining land, and small mining compatible with large-scale mining may provide new opportunities for redistribution purposes. The most dramatic land reform measures in Namaqualand will be in the field of tenure reform, and specifically of communal tenure systems. Namaqualand features eight large reserves (1 200 OOOha covering 25% of the area) set aside for the local communities. These reserves have a history which is unique in South Africa. During the 1800's as the interior of South Africa was being colonised, the rights of Nama descendant communities were recognised through State issued "tickets of occupation". Subsequent legislation designed to administer these exclusively Coloured areas, confirmed that the communities' interests in land predating the legislation. A statutory trust of this sort creates obligations for the State in public law. Furthermore, the new constitution insists on appropriate respect for the fundamental principles of non-discrimination and freedom of movement.

  • Tourism Is a National Priority and Contributes Signif- Icantly to Economic Development
    Tourism is a national priority and contributes signif- icantly to economic development. The national tourism sector strategy provides a blueprint for the sector to meet the growth targets contained in the new growth path. The National Department of Tourism's (NDT) strategic goals over the medium term are to: • maximise domestic tourism and foreign tourist arrivals in South Africa • expand domestic and foreign investment in the South African tourism industry • expand tourist infrastructure • improve the range and quality of tourist services • improve the tourist experience and value for money • improve research and knowledge management • contribute to growth and development and expand the tourism share of gross domestic product (GDP) • improve competitiveness and sustainability in the tourism sector • strengthen collaboration with tourist organi sations. The inflow of tourists to South Africa is the result of the success of policies aimed at entrenching South Africa’s status as a major international tourism and business events destination. The Tourism Business Index’s quarterly index produced by the Tourism Business Council of South Africa indicated that revenue per available room in the hotel sector increased by 7,9% during the first 10 months of 2014. A Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) report has found that the total income for the South Africa tourist accommo- dation industry, which includes restaurant and bar sales, grew by 7%. In May 2015, there were 1 202 795 foreign arrivals to South Africa. The arrivals were made up of 89 257 non-visitors and 1 113 538 visitors. The visitors consisted of 428 131 same-day visitors and 685 407 overnight visitors.

    Bothalia 41,1: 1–40 (2011) Systematics and biology of the African genus Ferraria (Iridaceae: Irideae) P . GOLDBLATT* and J .C . 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 .

The inhabitants allege they were dispossessed of these rights as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices. Page 2 The land [2] The Richtersveld is situated in the north-western corner of the Northern Cape Province. It is necessary, for purposes of this case, to identify specific parts of the Richtersveld. In the west there is a narrow strip of land running parallel to the Atlantic Ocean and extending from the Garib River (previously known as the Orange River) in the north, down to White Point (which lies just south of Port Nolloth) in the south. The plaintiffs’ claims for restitution relates to this part of the Richtersveld. I shall refer to it as the subject land.1 The subject land has, following upon the discovery of diamonds on it during the first half of the 20th century, been used for the exploitation of diamonds.

Branch' Department of Herpetology, Port Elizabeth Museum, P.O. Box 13147, Humewood, 6013 South Africa Aaron M, Bauer Biology Department, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, Pennsylvania 19085, USA David A. Good Museum of Natural Science, 119 Foster Hall, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803, USA Received 19 September 1995; accepted 22 January 1996 An analysis of morphological and allozyme variation in the Namaqua gecko, Pachydactylus namaquensis from southern Africa is presented. 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.
