South Africa 2018/19 Environment, Forestry and Fisheries
OFFICIAL GUIDE TO South Africa 2018/19 Environment, Forestry and Fisheries 99 Official Guide to South Africa 2018/19 Environment, Forestry and Fisheries 100 Following the reconfiguration of government departments in June 2019, the Department of the Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DEFF) was established after transferring the functions of forestry and fisheries from the then Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (now called Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development). Chapter 5 of the National Development Plan (NDP) emphasises the importance of environmental sustainability for robust socio-economic development. This is given expression by outcome 4 (decent employment through inclusive growth) and outcome 10 (protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources) of government’s 2014-2019 Medium Term Strategic Framework. Government prioritises the management, protection and conservation of South Africa’s environment and natural resources. According to Statistics South Africa’s General Household Survey (GHS) of 2018, waste removal problems and littering (42,6%), as well as land degradation and soil erosion (32,7%), were the two environmental problems that concerned the highest percentage of households in 2018. Strikingly, the percentage of households that considered land degradation and soil erosion a problem increased from 15,6% in 2003 to 34,1% in 2014 before dropping slightly to 32,7% in 2018. The proportion of households that felt that there were problems with littering and waste removal in their areas also increased notably since 2003 when 28,7% of households regarded this as a problem. Households that considered air pollution to be a problem decreased from 22,7% in 2003 to 18,9% in 2018. -
