  • Community Drinking Water Fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: a Feasibility Study
    Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility study. A dissertation submitted for the degree MSc (Dent) in Community Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape. Student: Gilbert J Dennis Student Number: 860991 Supervisor: Dr Neil Myburgh November 2002 Declaration I declare that the Community drinking water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region: A feasibility Study is my own work, that it has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Gilbert J Dennis November 2002 2 Abstract The prevalence of dental decay is high among lower socio-economic groups in the Southern Cape and Karoo region. 70 - 80% of State employed dentists' time in this region is spent on attempting to reduce the pain and sepsis within the communities for which the primary treatment modality is extraction of the tooth under emergency conditions. In developing countries the prevalence of dental decay is still high. There is a general downward trend of dental decay in developing countries; and it is associated with combinations of exposure to fluoridated water and/ or other forms of fluoride exposure (e.g. in fluoridated tooth paste), the provision of preventive oral health services, an increase in dental awareness through organized oral health education programs and the readily available dental resources. This study looked at the feasibility of implementing community water fluoridation in the Southern Cape and Karoo Region by describing the primary drinking water sources, the population distribution around these sources and the actual levels of fluoride found in the water samples.

  • Kannaland Municipality Date
    PREPARED FOR: NCOP Visit Week 26 - 30 October 2020 TOPIC: KANNALAND MUNICIPALITY DATE: 20 OCTOBER 2020 Municipal code: WC041 Wards: 4 District: Garden Route Country: South Africa Prepared by: Unathi Lasiti Reviewed by: Ben Daza Background The Provincial Week is one of the key mechanisms established by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) to achieve its mandate of representing the country’s provinces in the national sphere. It was established in line with the provision of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act No. 108 of 1996), which obligates the NCOP to “ensure that provincial interests are taken into account in the national sphere of government”. The main aim of the NCOP Provincial Week is to: Ensure that provincial delegates to the NCOP keep in touch with developments and challenges facing their provinces; Afford delegates to the NCOP an opportunity to interact with their respective provinces and report on their activities in the NCOP with the aim of obtaining new mandates on issues to be placed on the national agenda; Provide a forum for the exchange and sharing of ideas around service delivery issues and challenges facing the provinces in fulfilling their roles; and Create an opportunity for the NCOP and provinces to work together in seeking solutions and developing new ways to address the challenges facing local government and ensuring that the local government sphere responds adequately to the mandate of delivering services to communities. In light of the above, the NCOP permanent delegates and Members of the WCPP will embark on a NCOP Provincial Visit Week in Kannaland Municipality from 27 – 30 October 2020, as per the attached Programme.

  • The Case of Water in the Langkloof, South Africa
    2015 Scale Framing in a Landscape Restoration Process: The Case of Water in the Langkloof, South Africa Student Number: 841007-590-020 James Mulkerrins Thesis Supervisor: prof.dr.ir. C (Cees) Leeuwis March 2015 Thesis 2nd Reader: dr. R (Rico) Lie Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis would not be possible without the support and efforts of a great many people who I will be forever grateful to. Chief among these are the people in and around the Langkloof who I interviewed and who shared their experiences and time with me, discussing what for them is a very important and personal topic. The warm welcome, honest and frank discussions and chats about rugby among other things made my time in South Africa unforgettable and I can only hope that this work in some way serves a purpose for them in the future. And although he may not read this, I want to thank George Ferreira for putting us up when we needed it. I want to thank my supervisor, Cees Leeuwis. Your guidance and input on this thesis was invaluable. Without it, I’d still be in front of my computer with 10 principles in one hand and a pile of frames in the other. A great many thanks also to Cora van Oosten for trusting me with your network and providing the encouragement and support to make all of this happen. Of course, the staff of Living Lands made this work possible. In particular, I want to thank Maura Talbot for devoting your time to give advice, guidance and perspective, without which I would be lost.

  • Motorcycle Tour Taste of the Cape Motorcycle Tour Taste of the Cape
    Motorcycle tour Taste of the Cape Motorcycle tour Taste of the Cape Duration Difficulty Support vehicle 11 días Easy-Normal Nej Language Guide en Ja As a participant in this tour you'll fly to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape and be met by our staff. We will transfer to your guest house in Addo (around 40 minutes by road) where we will give you a briefing on the trip ahead. The following day we will hit the wonderful road. When riding there will be a lead rider and on-bike luggage will be provided. Tour participants will navigate using a 'marker' (also known as a 'buddy') system, whereby the rider behind the leader drops off and waits to guide those coming behind. The riding on this tour is a mix of tarmac, graded dirt roads and some fantastic and remote trails. As far as is possible the tour has been designed to avoid major routes. Itinerary 1 - Port Elizabeth International Airport - Addo - Arrive at PE, where you will be met and transported (40 mins) to your overnight accommodation, where the Blazing Trails staff will brief you on the adventure ahead and introduce you to 'your' bike. Come early evening, we will gather for a 'braai' – a classic South African meal, cooked over an open fire. 2 - Addo - Port Alfred - A super day of riding begins with a ride over Secret Pass, a steep climb through a private reserve brimming with game. The dirt track is a little challenging, but more than worth the effort. A regulation graded dirt road then takes us to Fort Beaufort from where we ace the twisites along the edge of the Frontier Country.

  • South Africa Yearbook 2013/2014 Tourism
    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2013/14 Tourism has taken its place as a vital contributor to economic growth, catapulting South Africa from a pariah prior to 1994 to one of the fastest-growing Tourism and most desired leisure holiday destinations in the world. The infl ow of tourists to South Africa is the result of the success of policies aimed at entrenching South Africa’s status as a major international tourism and business events destination. The purpose of the National Department of Tourism (NDT) is to be a catalyst for tourism growth and development in South Africa, and to drive the National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS). To ensure the achievement of the sector’s targets, the department supports the implemen- tation of the NTSS and work, towards increasing the number of foreign arrivals from 9 933 966 in 2009 to 12 068 030 by 2015, and increasing the number of domestic tourists from 14 600 000 in 2009 to 16 000 000 by 2015. In 2013/14, international tourist arrivals in South Africa grew by 10,2% year on year to almost 9,2 million. Europe remained the highest source of tourists, with arrivals growing by 9,5% year on year to 1 396 978 tourists. The United Kingdom (UK) was South Africa’s biggest overseas tourism market: 438 023 UK tourists travelled to South Africa. The United States of America (USA) was South Africa’s second biggest overseas market, with 326 643 tourists, followed by Germany with 266 333 tourists. France is now South Africa’s fi fth biggest overseas market with 122 244 tourists.
