Modern times with its competition on all fronts and increasing entertainment options make it very difficult to find a place in the sun for any new activity, and it is not easy to create such events without simply copying another event. Our aim was to find an event that would stand out and live up to the challenge of becoming a Signature event for Mpumalanga. This presentation tells you more. 2. THE SABIE 109TT This will be an event based on international proven results that will, combined with local vision and drive, create a Signature event for Mpumalanga. Chances are that it will become one of the best and most exciting South African Sporting events, ever! This event will be based on a world-renowned motorcycle race, held annually for more than a century on the Isle of Man. 3.

The study area is situated on topographical map 1:50 000, 2531AA KIEPERSOL, which is in the Mpumalanga Province. This area falls under the jurisdiction of the Mbombela Local Municipality, and the Ehlanzeni District Municipality. The National Heritage Resources Act, no 25 (1999)(NHRA), protects all heritage resources, which are classified as national estate. The NHRA stipulates that any person who intends to undertake a development, is subjected to the provisions of the Act. The applicant, Mbombela Municipality, who is requesting the development of the new Nkambeni cemetery (with access roads, parking, security offices and ablution facilities), is faced with a challenge of providing land for burial purposes. The current cemetery, servicing the Nkambeni community is already running out of burial space. The proposed site is 41 ha in extent.
