    Draft Air Quality Management Plan

    BOJANALA PLATINUM DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY DRAFT AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN May 2011 DRAFT 1 REPORT AUTHORS Nokulunga Ngcukana - Gondwana Environmental Solutions (Pty) Ltd Nicola Walton - Gondwana Environmental Solutions (Pty) Ltd Loren Webster - Gondwana Environmental Solutions (Pty) Ltd Roelof Burger - Climatology Research Group, Wits University Prof. Stuart Piketh - Climatology Research Group, Wits University Hazel Bomba - Gondwana Environmental Solutions (Pty) Ltd 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004 (AQA) requires Municipalities to introduce Air Quality Management Plans (AQMP) that set out what will be done to achieve the prescribed air quality standards. Municipalities are required to include an AQMP as part of its Integrated Development Plan. The AQA makes provision for the setting of ambient air quality standards and emission limits on National level, which provides a means evaluating air quality. Due to the implementation of the AQA, the philosophy of managing air quality in South Africa moved from a point source base approach to a more holistic approach based on the effects on the receiving environment (human, plant, animal and structure). The philosophy is based on pro-active planning (air quality management plans for all municipal areas), licensing of certain industrial processes (listed processes), and identifying priority areas where air quality does not meet the air quality standards for certain air pollutants (Engelbrecht, 2009). Air quality management is primarily the minimisation, management and prevention of air pollution, which aims to improve areas with poor air quality and maintain good air quality throughout. In light of this legal requirement, the Bojanala Platinum district municipality (BPDM) developed this AQMP.

Women and Informal Credit: Lessons From Moretele, South Africa By Kongolo M1 Abstract Informal credit plays an important role in the development of rural and urban areas in South Africa. It is about giving the disadvantaged poor people and women access to needed financial services to increase their earning opportunities, to meet their needs and to deal with emergencies. The findings suggest that informal credit impacts positively on the lives of the majority of women in the study area, to the extent of enabling them to become self-employed through self-chosen economic activities. It has also assisted them both in accumulating resources and protecting them from further lack of incomes in times of stress. Keywords: Informal credit, women development, poverty alleviation, self-employment.

    Continuity Or Rupture? the Shaping of the Rural Political Order Through Contestations of Land, Community, and Mining in the Bapo Ba Mogale Traditional Authority Area

    Continuity or Rupture? The shaping of the rural political order through contestations of land, community, and mining in the Bapo ba Mogale traditional authority area. Stanley Malindi A research project submitted at the University of the Witwatersrand, Department of Political Studies, School of Social Sciences, in fulfilment of the Master of Arts (Research) Degree. Supervised by: Dr Julian Brown and Dr Gavin Capps. March 2016 1 Declaration I (Student number: ) am a Student registered for the degree of in the academic year . I hereby declare the following: • I am aware that plagiarism (the use of someone else’s work without their permission and/or without acknowledging the original source) is wrong • I confirm that the work submitted for assessment for the above degree is my own unaided work except where I have explicitly indicated otherwise. • I have followed the required conventions in referencing the thoughts and ideas of others. • I understand that the University of the Witwatersrand may take disciplinary action against me if there is a belief that this is not my own unaided work or that I have failed to acknowledge the source of the ideas in my writing. Signature: Date: 2 Abstract South Africa’s countryside’s are rich in ‘new’ high-demand metal and energy minerals, like platinum and uranium, as well as vast, untapped reserves of industrial staples, above all coal. Yet, these are also characterised by deep rural poverty and legally insecure systems of ‘customary’ tenure, under the local administrative control of traditional authorities. Here, new mining activity is setting in motion significant processes dispossession and Immiseration that are at once tracing, reconfiguring and widening the class, gender and other social divisions that define these rural settings.

The proposed new bulk pipeline will be approx. 800mm in diameter and approximately 27km in length. As the length of the pipeline is more than 300m, it triggers Section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act 1999 (Act No 25 of 1999) that states the following: “(1) Subject to the provisions of subsections (7), (8) and (9), any person who intends to undertake a development categorised as— (a) the construction of a road, wall, powerline, pipeline, canal or other similar form of linear development or barrier exceeding 300m in length must notify the responsible heritage resources authority and furnish it with details regarding the location, nature and extent of the proposed development. This report encompasses the findings of a desktop survey as well as a site visit of sections of the proposed pipeline route that took place on 16 September 2014.
