    Final IDP 2012

    MAYOR’S FOREWORD The year 2012 is special because it marks the centenary of the African National Congress which is the ruling party in the country and the majority party in our municipality. We acknowledge the fact that there are still challenges of poverty, inequality, unemployment, and underdevelopment even after 18 years in a democracy. This acknowledgement is informed by the challenges that were raised by the communities during Community Based Planning, IDP Analysis Phase, and prioritization of needs of the IDP/Budget process. As a municipality we have taken note of the State of the Nation Address, State of the Province Address, and the Budget of the Waterberg District in terms of infrastructure development in order to stimulate the economy of our municipality. In his State of the Nation Address, the State President has said that, “Firstly, we plan to develop and integrate rail, road and water infrastructure, centred around two main areas in Limpopo: the Waterberg in the Western part of the province and Steelpoort in the CLLR. T. A. MASHAMAITE eastern part. These efforts are intended to unlock the enormous mineral belt of coal, platinum, palladium, chrome and other minerals, in order to facilitate increased mining as well as stepped-up beneficiation of minerals.” This address calls for us as a municipality to capacitate our Local Economic Development section to be able to plan ahead for these developments which are intended to stimulate our economy. We re-commit ourselves as a municipality to work towards a clean audit report in 2014. We once more thank you for your support and wish all citizens well.

Visitors are drawn to this region because of its rich cultural history and beautiful nature and game reserves, including Kruger National Park. Local museums capture Limpopo’s more recent history of fierce and bloody battles between the advancing Voortrekkers and the Africans who had settled in this area over a thousand years earlier. The region’s unique features have been recognized by UNESCO, which has designated the western Waterberg area as a Biosphere Reserve and the northern Mapungubwe National Park as a World Heritage Site. The area surrounds the busy thoroughfare of the Great North Road (the N1), which starts in Cape Town and continues north through Musina and into Zimbabwe. 494 LIMPOPO modernoverland.com modernoverland.com LIMPOPO 495 C hapter H I ghl I ghts Z ZI MI MB BA AB B Limpopo A6 A6A4 A4 WW .

    Mining-Led Development and Local Politics of Youth Participation in the Mokopane Traditional Authority Area in Limpopo Province, South Africa

    Mining-led Development and Local Politics of Youth Participation in the Mokopane Traditional Authority Area in Limpopo Province, South Africa By Popopo Mohlala A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geography and Environmental Studies Supervisors: Dr Sonwabile Mnwana & Dr Alex Wafer October 2017 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. 5th day of October 2017, in Johannesburg 2 ABSTRACT In general, studies on development concur that participatory practice at the local level is influenced by local power relations. The structures of power in local communities are important in the way they determine the extent to which citizens participate in decision-making and development activities. However, there are a few empirical studies examining the impacts of power relations on youth participation in peripheral areas experiencing the rapid expansion of large-scale mining activities. Drawing on detailed ethnographic research conducted in two villages that host Ivanplats’s Platreef Mining Project, this study examines how the structures of power in Mokopane Traditional Authority Area in Limpopo Province shape and influence the character of youth participation in mining-led community development decisions and activities. The study adopts Gaventa’s Power Cube as its primary theoretical tool of analysis. The study shows how the youth, as a social category, hardly participate in mining-led community development because the model of participation adopted by local powerholders encourages the marginalisation of young people.
