WWF South Africa operates in the context of a developing country and is highly regarded in the network for giving a balanced view on environmental matters. We pride ourselves in the global and local role we play in conserving the earth’s most extraordinary places and species, and reducing humanity’s footprint on the planet. We also aim to address the underlying economic, social and political issues that underpin all conservation efforts. We involve local communities in decision making, we lobby government to change policy and we work with business to ensure sustainable use of resources. We form partnerships with those who share our vision as we believe by working with people, together we will change behaviour and leave a living planet. Ultimately our aim is to inspire all South Africans to live in harmony with nature for the benefit of our country and the well-being of all our people. About the WWF Sustainable Fisheries Programme The Sustainable Fisheries Programme is a keystone initiative of the WWF Marine Programme which falls under the broader WWF Sanlam Living Waters Partnership. Placed at the interface between civil society, the private sector and government, the programme has the unique ability to work across the seafood supply chain to address the challenges facing our marine ecosystems in an integrated manner. The programme contributes towards the following two targets of the Partnership: 1. Ecological systems and their services underpin social and economic well-being. 2. Risks and opportunities posed by climate change are addressed. The Sustainable Fisheries Programme aims to meet these objectives through activities via two sister programmes, namely ‘Seafood Market Transformation’ and ‘WWF SASSI Consumer Awareness’. Our aim is to inspire all South Africans to live in harmony with nature for the benefit of our country and the well- being of all our people. WWF Sustainable Fisheries Programme Annual Report 2011 | page 2 The vision of WWF’s Sustainable Fisheries Programme (SFP) is to INTRODUCTION inspire people to work together towards healthy marine ecosystems and responsibly-managed fisheries. Attaining this vision requires overcoming significant economic, ecological and social challenges, whilst simultaneously motivating concerted effort from all parties involved in the seafood supply chain through various multi-disciplinary partnerships. However, it also necessitates constant re-evaluation and refinement of our approach to ensure that we are effective, yet remain relevant. To this end, the past year has been a period of both evaluation and evolution for WWF-SA and the Sustainable Fisheries Programme. Great strides have been made by WWF-SA over the last few years in shifting its model of operation from a reactive grant-making fund, to that of proactive investment along programmatic lines. Thus, this past year has seen the establishment of a Biodiversity unit that covers the thematic areas of ‘Freshwater’, ‘Marine’, ‘Sustainable Agriculture’, ‘Land & Stewardship’, and the ‘WWF/ TMF Fynbos Programme’. Within the broader Marine programme, the SFP has further matured to comprise two keystone initiatives, namely ‘Seafood Market Transformation’ and ‘SASSI Consumer Awareness’. While the former programme works to link retail market opportunities with fisheries and aquaculture Within the improvements, the latter focuses on empowering consumers with the information to make a sustainable seafood choice coupled with the knowledge that their choice broader Marine will make a difference. In this way, the SFP continues to work holistically through programme, the seafood supply chain to address the challenge of ecosystem overfishing. See Appendices 1 and 2 for the Key achievements and the Summary of statistics in 2011. the SFP has The lessons learnt and documented in this review demonstrate that, through making further matured more informed choices and by selecting seafood species which come from well- managed and sustainable fisheries, various stakeholders can achieve a sustainable to comprise seafood industry. This is a common goal that those involved in the fishing industry, two keystone seafood retailers, consumers and all South Africans are working towards. The WWF Sustainable Fisheries Programme Annual Report for 2011 is comprised of initiatives, the following sections: namely 1. Highlights of the WWF Sustainable Fisheries Programme in 2011 ‘Seafood Market 2. Stories of most significant change 3. Communications and awareness Transformation’ 4. Financial sustainability and ‘SASSI 5. Conclusion Consumer The WWF-SA Sustainable Fisheries Programme would not have been able to achieve the impact described in this report without its supporters and collaborators Awareness’. (See page 19). WWF Sustainable Fisheries Programme Annual Report 2011 | page 3 This year saw the successful HIGHLIGHTS OF THE conclusion of the first phase of the Responsible Fisheries Alliance (RFA). WWF SusTaiNablE The initial two-year period has seen the RFA grow into a robust forum, through which WWF-SA and major FishEriES PROgrammE fishing companies can work towards the common goal of responsible fishing and the implementation of an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management (EAF). As one of the only coalitions of its kind in the world, the RFA has gained international recognition for its work, with HRH The Prince of Wales attending an event to showcase the RFA’s achievements to date, which included the renewal of the RFA agreement for a further two year phase. This year also saw Pick n Pay become the first retailer in Africa to make clear commitments to sustainable seafood through WWF SASSI’s retailer participation scheme. This commitment, which will see Pick n Pay selling only WWF SASSI greenlisted products or products from fisheries and farms involved in credible improvement projects by the end of 2015, is a fantastic step in the right direction and sets the standard for others to follow. In November, we launched the WWF SA Fisheries: Facts and Trends report, which highlights some of the challenges facing South Africa’s fisheries. The report, a compilation of data from a number of different sources, provides a snapshot view of the status of our fisheries as well as the associated socio-economic and cultural systems which rely on these resources for their well-being. The report was widely reported on in both local and international media. The SFP and its staff were also involved in six other publications during 2011 (see Appendix 3). The WWF SASSI listing process continued in earnest this past year and six new assessments were added to the existing database of species. As a result of this listing, a WWF partner-NGO, the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership, is leading a collaborative Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) to improve the status of Argentine Hake. This process clearly demonstrates how responsible suppliers and retailers can help drive positive change in fisheries around the world together with WWF SASSI. Two Oceans Wines approached WWF SASSI during the past year to form a partnership in support of SASSI’s work. Various activations are currently being planned as a result of this partnership. Research undertaken to gauge the effectiveness of the WWF SASSI consumer tools revealed that 83% of respondents used the tools to guide their seafood choice. The SFP enjoyed widespread media coverage in 2011 to the advertising value of just over R7 million and was reported on over 230 times in the media. A SASSI ‘Green Platter’ special was run by two of the WWF SASSI supporting restaurants during the course of National Marine Week. The John Dory’s restaurant chain initiated and hosted an awareness-raising event in Johannesburg to help WWF SASSI spread the message. WWF SASSI was also interviewed on the 5fm Fresh 83% Drive, one of the most popular radio stations in the country, during peak time. OF REspONDENTS The WWF SASSI Restaurant Programme currently enjoys the support of 190 usED THE TOOls restaurants. Eleven training courses were run in partnership with WWF SASSI’s TO maKE THEir Networking Partners in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, through which 232 ulTimaTE SEafOOD people were trained.

  • Utility Location in Saxonwold, Johannesburg
    Utility Location in Saxonwold, Johannesburg Customer: Johannesburg Water (Municipality) - Mr. Tshepo Ramatlo Site: Saxonwold, Houghton, Johannesburg. Saxonwold is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. The suburb has its origins as part of the Braamfontein farm which was owned by Hermann Eckstein. He had bought the farm to explore it for minerals and when he failed to find any, the land was converted as a timber plantation in 1891 called Sachsenwald. The land's name was anglicized at the beginning of World War One and was called Saxonwold. In 1903, Wernher Beit & Co and Max Michaelis gave 200 acres of freehold ground in the Sachsenwald plantation to the Johannesburg Town Council for the use by the people of Johannesburg by the creation of the Herman Eckstein Park. This park would become Zoo Lake, the Johannesburg Zoo and the South African National Museum of Military History. The remaining land in the plantation was developed into a township called Saxonwold in 1925 by the Transvaal Consolidated Land & Exploration Co Ltd. Systems/Equipment: LMX 200 (Ground Penetrating Radar) with GPS and the Utilitrac R130. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been used worldwide over the past couple years for shallow subsurface investigation. It is a high resolution electromagnetic (EM) method that uses the differences in dielectric properties of subsurface objects to detect and locate features. GPR's transmitter antenna sends high rate EM waves (10-2000 MHz) toward the ground and the backscattered and reflected signals are detected by the receiver antenna. Date: November 2019 – 2 full weeks spent on site. Situation: Johannesburg Water is in the process of upgrading the water mains in and around the Saxonwold area in Johannesburg.

    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.

    David H.W. Morgan Chief, Governing Bodies and Meeting Services CITES Secretariat c/o Pascal Perraud ([email protected] 28 February 2018 FACILITIES (FARMS AND INDIVIDUALS) KEEPING AND BREEDING ASIAN BIG CATS IN CAPTIVITY IN SOUTH AFRICA: UNDER DECISION 17.229 Dear Pascal, We are writing to you on behalf of two South Africa CITES Observer organisations, namely: Ban Animal Trading (http://www.bananimaltrading.org) and the EMS Foundation (www.emsfoundation.org.za) with regard to facilities/individuals keeping Asian big cats (mainly tigers) in captivity in South Africa. We are very concerned that South Africa’s lax and unregulated approach is contributing directly to the demise of tigers and the growth of the tiger bone industry. South Africa’s management practices and controls are totally inadequate for such facilities and as a consequence there is nothing to prevent Asian Big Cats from entering illegal trade from or through the breeding and keeping facilities in South Africa, including with regard to the disposal of specimens from Asian Big Cats that die in captivity. There are also a number of individuals in South Africa that are breeding and keeping Asian Big Cats in their backyards in city suburbs. Since early 2016, including in the recent past (3 October 2017 and 14 December 2017) we have asked South Africa’s Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) if they know the number of Asian tigers in South Africa and if they monitor and audit the facilities in South Africa that keep Asian Big Cats, but they have continuously and consistently replied that they do not as they are ‘exotics’ and therefore it is not DEA’s responsibility.
