  • We Are Facing a Water and Sanitation Crisis in South Africa
    WE ARE FACING A WATER AND SANITATION CRISIS IN SOUTH AFRICA David Raymer (Pr Eng)* Author and Johannes Buckle (Pr Eng)** *Uhambiso Consult (Pty) Ltd, Tel: 041 373 0180 Fax: 041 373 0102 email: [email protected] **Cobeng South Africa is in the grip of a water and sanitation crisis. Ordinary citizens are taking municipalities to court, farmers are irrigating illegally and there is civil unrest across the country due to poor service delivery. Poor governance is the order of the day fed by political interferance, trade union demands, cronyism and bribery. As a result municipal councils are unable to make sound strategic decisions, control budgets, grasp critical financial processes and sustain water and sanitation services. The quality and availability of raw water in many catchments is deteriorating. Impromptu housing development and mismanagement of sewerage treatment works is widespread. Many municipalities and utilities ignore water conservation and demand management. Nationally, bulk water and sanitation infrastructure have not been augmented for years and waterborne diseases like cholera are spreading due to increasing pollution of water sources. The water and sanitation crisis demands immediate and decisive intervention. Political decision makers must respect the authority of experienced professionals. Water services managers must have autonomy to make decisions without political interference. Councillors must be capacitated to understand and grasp the budgets needed for the infrastructure to sustain water and sanitation services. 1. INTRODUCTION South Africa has some of the most advanced legislation in the world, a fact that has been acknowledged at various international fora. We have (some would say "had") some of the most advanced infrastructure in Africa.

  • Advocacy in the Time of Xenophobia: Exploring Opportunities for Change in South African Migration Policy and Practice
    Advocacy in the Time of Xenophobia: Exploring Opportunities for Change in South African Migration Policy and Practice by Sarah A. Pugh A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctorate in Political Science and International Development Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Sarah A. Pugh, June, 2014 ABSTRACT ADVOCACY IN THE TIME OF XENOPHOBIA: EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHANGE IN SOUTH AFRICAN MIGRATION POLICY AND PRACTICE Sarah A. Pugh Advisor: University of Guelph, 2014 Professor Carol Dauda In May 2008, violence against foreign nationals erupted in communities across South Africa. Dozens lost their lives, hundreds were injured, and thousands were displaced in a crisis that highlighted migration as one of the most complicated, volatile issues currently facing the young democracy. In the aftermath of the crisis, important questions have been raised regarding the complex causes of the violence and the widespread anti-foreigner attitudes that continue to find regular expression in the country. This dissertation explores the social and political space in which challenges to this status quo are being advanced. Drawing on a series of qualitative, semi- structured key informant interviews with civil society actors and policy makers, along with six months of participant observation at a migration-focused non-governmental organisation in Cape Town, this research interrogates both the opportunities and limitations for advancing a progressive vision of migration in South Africa. This is understood as a vision which promotes the upholding and expansion of rights for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, the progressive dismantling of xenophobic social attitudes, and the reconceptualisation of migration as a potential tool for development.

  • 2021/22 Integrated Development Plan (IDP)
    i i Osborne Gaebler says : “What gets measured gets done If you don’t measure results, you can’t tell success from failure If you can’t see success, you can’t reward it If you can’t reward success, you are probably rewarding failure If you can’t see success, you can’t learn from it If you can’t recognize failure, you can’t correct it If you can demonstrate results, you can win public support” ii It is important to note that Integrated Development Plans are the Five-year (05) Development Plans of municipalities that are adopted at the beginning of Five- year Council terms. This 2017 / 18 – 2021 / 22 IDP was adopted by the Council of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality at its sitting on 28 June 2017. The IDP is reviewed annually. Certain aspects of the document will remain the same for the duration of the 5-year period within which the IDP is in effect, with some changes being made to aspects of it on a yearly basis. iii NELSON MANDELA BAY MUNICIPALITY (2016 DEMARCATION) iv TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR ............................................................................1 FOREWORD BY THE CITY MANAGER ...................................................................................4 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................6 1.1 CONTEXT AND OVERVIEW ..............................................................................................6 1.2 ABOUT NELSON MANDELA BAY ................................................................................
