  • Effect of Grootvlei Mine Water on the Blesbokspruit
    THE EFFECT OF GROOTVLEI MINE WATER ON THE BLESBOKSPRUIT by TANJA THORIUS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE in ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT in the Faculty of Science at the Rand Afrikaans University Supervisor: Professor JT Harmse July 2004 The Impact of Grootvlei Mine on the Water Quality of the Blesbokspruit i ABSTRACT Gold mining activities are widespread in the Witwatersrand area of South Africa. These have significant influences, both positive and negative, on the socio-economic and bio -physical environments. In the case of South Africa’s river systems and riparian zones, mining and its associated activities have negatively impacted upon these systems. The Blesbokspruit Catchment Area and Grootvlei Mines Limited (hereafter called “Grootvlei”) are located in Gauteng Province of South Africa. The chosen study area is east of the town of Springs in the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality on the East Rand of Gauteng Province. Grootvlei, which has been operating underground mining activities since 1934, is one of the last operational mines in this area. Grootvlei pumps extraneous water from its underground mine workings into the Blesbokspruit, which includes the Blesbokspruit Ramsar site. This pumping ensures that the mine workings are not flooded, which would result in the gold reserves becoming inaccessible and would shortly lead to the closure of Grootvlei. This closure would further affect at least three other marginal gold mines in the area, namely, Springs-Dagga, Droogebult-Wits and Nigel Gold Mine, all which rely on Grootvlei’s pumping to keep their workings dry. Being shallower than Grootvlei, they are currently able to operate without themselves having to pump any extraneous water from their underground workings.

  • Xenophobia Outsider Exclusion Addressing Frail Social Cohesion in South Africa's Diverse CommuniEs
    Xenophobia Outsider Exclusion Addressing Frail Social Cohesion in South Africa's Diverse Communies Makause Case Study October 2017 I. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview This case study presents findings of a research conducted in May 2016 and May 2017 by the African centre for Migration & Society (ACMS) in Makause, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng Province. Part of parallel research conducted in 15 other South African communities, this study aims to document and explain the status of social cohesion across the country. More specifically, it aims to identify the causes of group-based conflicts, communal violence, and patterns of violent exclusion. Through these efforts, the research can contribute to developing more effective intervention programmes by relevant stakeholders together with members of the community to promote social cohesion and peaceful cohabitation. The findings presented here are informed by qualitative individual interviews and focus group discussions with residents and relevant key informants conducted between 3 and 7 May 2016 as well as between 2 and 12 May 2017. The research process involved conducting qualitative interviews with relevant stakeholders. A team of four ACMS researchers spent eight days in the area and conducted a total of 35 individual interviews and three focus group discussions. Participants included South Africans and foreign residents as well as key informants including representatives of the local authority, community leaders, faith-based, and other community based organisations. We rely on secondary literature to provide additional background and insight. Recognising that perceptions drive social interactions and mobilisation as much as facts1, our approach documents, and where possible, distinguishes between the two. 1.2 Primary Findings and Conclusions Makause is a socially, economically and politically complex space due primarily to the fact that all its residents are considered illegal dwellers living on a disused and privately owned mine shaft which was never demarcated as a human resettlement area.
