  • North-West Province

    North-West Province

    © Lonely Planet Publications 509 North-West Province From safaris to slots, the pursuit of pleasure is paramount in the North-West Province. And with the top three reasons to visit less than a six-hour drive from Johannesburg, this region is more than fun. It’s convenient. Gambling is the name of the game here, although not always in the traditional sense. Place your luck in a knowledgeable ranger’s hands at Madikwe Game Reserve and bet on how many lions he’ll spot on the sunrise wildlife drive. You have to stay to play at this exclusive reserve on the edge of the Kalahari, and the lodges here will be a splurge for many. But for that once-in-a-lifetime, romantic Out of Africa–style safari experience, South Africa’s fourth-largest reserve can’t be beat. If you’d rather spot the Big Five without professional help, do a self-drive safari in Pi- lanesberg National Park. The most accessible park in the country is cheaper than Madikwe, and still has 7000 animals packed into its extinct volcano confines. Plus it’s less than three hours’ drive from Jo’burg. When you’ve had your fill betting on finding rhino, switch to cards at the opulent Sun City casino complex down the road. The final component of the province’s big attraction trifecta is the southern hemisphere’s answer to Las Vegas: a shame- lessly gaudy, unabashedly kitsch and downright delicious place to pass an afternoon. Madikwe, Pilanesberg and Sun City may be the North-West Province’s heavyweight at- tractions, but there are more here than the province’s ‘Big Three’.

    SIBU and the Crisis of Water Service Delivery in Sannieshof, North West Province

    SIBU and the crisis of water service delivery in Sannieshof, North West Province C GOUWS, I MOEKETSI, S MOTLOUNG, J TEMPELHOFF, G VAN GREUNING AND L VAN ZYL* Abstract In 2007 the residents of the town of Sannieshof in North West Province declared a dispute with the Tswaing Local Municipality on the grounds that the state of local service delivery left much to be desired. The ratepayers then formed the Sannieshof Inwoners Belastingbetalers Unie (SIBU) which literally took over the functions of local government of the town, functioning as a local government within a local government. This article provides a historical narrative of the conflict between SIBU and Tswaing Local Municipality, a dispute which was taken as far as the provincial High Court. Then follows an outline of conditions in Sannieshof and the townships of Agisanang and Phelindaba. Attention is given to the perceptions of local residents on the prevalent conditions, specifically in respect of water supply and sanitation service delivery. In the third section there are some theoretical perspectives on political culture, socialisation and happiness. A debate is provided on how these phenomena manifest under existing conditions in Sannieshof, and more particularly, in its adjacent townships of Agisanang and Phelindaba. Keywords: Sannieshof Inwoners Belastingbetalers Unie (SIBU), North West Province, service delivery, water supply, sanitation, Tswaing Local Municipality. Disciplines: History, Political Science, Tourism Studies and Public Management and Administration, Industrial Psychology and Wellness Studies. Introduction In November 2007, irate ratepayers of the towns Sannieshof, Ottosdal and Delareyville in South Africa’s North West Province, declared a dispute with Tswaing Local Municipality, the local authority responsible for their municipal services.1 Using the Municipal Finance (Management) Act, 56 of 2003,2 the Municipal Structures Act, 117 of 1998,3 and the Municipal Systems Act, 32 * Research Niche Area for the Cultural Dynamics of Water (CuDyWat).

    Palaeontological Impact Assessment May Be Significantly Enhanced Through Field Assessment by a Professional Palaeontologist

    PALAEONTOLOGICAL HERITAGE ASSESSMENT: COMBINED DESKTOP & FIELD- BASED STUDY Proposed Meerkat Solar Power Plant on Portion 3 (Portion of Portion 2) of the Farm Vyflings Pan 598 near Vryburg, Naledi Local Municipality, North-West Province John E. Almond PhD (Cantab.) Natura Viva cc, PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010, RSA [email protected] February 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The company Meerkat Solar Power Plant (RF) (Pty) Ltd is proposing to develop up to 115 MW photovoltaic solar facility, known as the Meerkat Solar Power Plant, on Portion 3 (Portion of Portion 2) of the Farm Vyflings Pan 598, IN Registration Division, Province of the North-West. The Meerkat Solar Power Plant study area is entirely underlain by late Archaean (c. 2.6 billion year-old) sedimentary rocks of the Schmidtsdrif Subgroup (Ghaap Group, Transvaal Supergroup). These mainly comprise shallow marine siliciclastic sediments and possible lavas of the Vryburg Formation plus carbonate sediments of the Boomplaas Formation. Field assessment suggests that stromatolite-bearing carbonate rocks are not present at surface within the Vryburg and Bomplaas Formation outcrop areas in the study area. The overlying superficial sediments (e.g. sandy soils, calcretised pan deposits) are of low palaeontological sensitivity. It is concluded that, with or without mitigation, the overall impact of the proposed Meerkat Solar Power Plant on Farm Vyflings Pan 598 is of NEGATIVE LOW SIGNIFICANCE in palaeontological heritage terms. Should significant fossil remains - such as well-preserved stromatolites - be exposed during construction, the responsible Environmental Control Officer should safeguard these, preferably in situ. The South African Heritage Resources Authority (SAHRA) should be alerted as soon as possible (Contact details: Mrs Colette Scheermeyer, P.O.
