    LORMP – Unlocking the Ecotourism Potential of the River, Draft October 2008 4.3.11.2 Sensitivities Despite being on the edge of the Sperrgebiet Restricted Area, proposed as a possible protected area within Namibia’s national conservation estate, the riparian zone’s integrity has been largely transformed through mining, agriculture and settlement, with the degree of transformation ranging from moderate to total. Sensitivities can be expected regarding uncontrolled access to the Sperrgebiet, the various mines along this river section and the farms between Brandkaros and the bridge. These sensitivities need to be addressed if the ecotourism potential along this river section is to be unlocked. Additional aspects that must be included in the planning is the influence of wind, making most of this area difficult for rowing and rafting, exacerbated by the flat gradient resulting in the river meandering over the coastal plan. The lack of a well structured tourism industry along this river section, as a result of ad hoc and individual developments in the past, and the lack of an established brand, since this river section is not in the national park, in the Sperrgebiet, and not on the coast, the area is largely unknown. The lack of benefits to the broader Richtersveld Community should be addressed, in an a manner that is tangible and measurable. The tourism product base should also be assessed and possibly diversified, since the current product base is limited largely to a localized market, and occasionally 4x4 guests en route to the Richtersveld or Namibia via the pont at Sendelingsdrift. Despite the intentions of the Poverty Relief Programme, the infrastructural development support at Sanddrift and Stofbakkies, seems to be experiencing challenges from an occupancy and marketing perspective.

  • The Battle of Sandfontein: the Role and Legacy of Major- General Sir Henry Timson Lukin
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 34, Nr 2, 2006. doi: 10.5787/34-2-24 65 THE BATTLE OF SANDFONTEIN: THE ROLE AND LEGACY OF MAJOR- 1 GENERAL SIR HENRY TIMSON LUKIN Rodney C. Warwick2 Diocesan College, Cape Town Introduction Commemorative statues, plaques and monuments from decades past remain widespread across both the urban and rural South Africa landscape. Included amongst these is the stone likeness of General Tim Lukin in Cape Town: just one of such structures intended to encapsulate the emotions and memories of those who commissioned it. The South African involvement at Delville Wood ninety years ago would still resonate with some of the country’s population; those who at some stage have delved into reading up on the history of our participation in the First World War. However mention of the Battle of Sandfontein during the Union invasion of German South West Africa in 1914 to the same reasonably historically literate grouping, would from the larger proportion of them, most probably elicit an admittance of ignorance. Only the well-read enthusiast of South African military history would be aware of Lukin’s roles at both Delville Wood and Sandfontein, let alone how the latter engagement constituted one of the bleakest moments in the General’s career. This article revives debate about this long forgotten First World War military clash in Africa: the first full set battle-piece in which the two year old Union Defence Force was involved, and which resulted in a defeat for the South African forces. It also investigates the role of General Lukin therein, and how culpability for 1 This paper was presented at the 4th War and Society in Africa Conference: Strategy, Generalship and Command in Southern Africa: Past, Present, Future, held at the South African Military Academy, Saldanha, 4-6 September 2003.

  • In the Land Claims Court of South Africa
    IN THE LAND CLAIMS COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA Heard at CAPE TOWN during 4-28 September 2000 CASE NUMBER: LCC 151/98 and 23-26 October 2000 before Gildenhuys AJ and Wiechers (assessor) Decided on: 22 March 2001 In the case between: THE RICHTERSVELD COMMUNITY First Plaintiff THE KUBOES COMMUNITY Second Plaintiff THE SANDDRIFT COMMUNITY Third Plaintiff THE LEKKERSING COMMUNITY Fourth Plaintiff THE EKSTEENFONTEIN COMMUNITY Fifth Plaintiff THE ADULT MEMBERS OF THE RICHTERSVELD COMMUNITY Sixth Plaintiff and ALEXKOR LIMITED First Defendant THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Second Defendant JUDGMENT GILDENHUYS AJ: General background [1] This is an action by inhabitants of the territory commonly known as the Richtersveld, for the restitution of rights in land in respect of a portion of the Richtersveld. The inhabitants allege they were dispossessed of these rights as a result of past racially discriminatory laws or practices. Page 2 The land [2] The Richtersveld is situated in the north-western corner of the Northern Cape Province. It is necessary, for purposes of this case, to identify specific parts of the Richtersveld. In the west there is a narrow strip of land running parallel to the Atlantic Ocean and extending from the Garib River (previously known as the Orange River) in the north, down to White Point (which lies just south of Port Nolloth) in the south. The plaintiffs’ claims for restitution relates to this part of the Richtersveld. I shall refer to it as the subject land.1 The subject land has, following upon the discovery of diamonds on it during the first half of the 20th century, been used for the exploitation of diamonds.
