This total is expected to grow to 228 999 by 2024, equating to an average annual growth rate of 1.2 per cent. Sex Ratio The overall sex ratio (SR) depicts the number of males per 100 females in the population. The data indicates that there are slightly more females than males in the George municipal area with a ratio of 52 per cent (females) to 48 per cent (males). The SR for George increases slightly year on year towards 2024 which could be attributed to a wide range of factors such as an increase in mortality rates or birth rates in the municipal area. Age Cohorts Between 2020 and 2026, the largest population growth was recorded in the 65+ aged cohort which grew at an annual average rate of 1.6 per cent, compared to a growth of 0.8 per cent in children and 1.3 per cent in the working age population. These predicted growth rates lowers the dependency ratio towards 2026. Household sizes Household size refers to the number of people per household. The actual size of households is on a downward trend from 3.7 people per household in 2020 to 3.6 in 2024. Contributing factors to a reduction in household size could include, but are not limited to, lower fertility rates, ageing population, construction of smaller households, etc. Population density Amidst rapid urbanisation across the Western Cape, population density figures will aid public sector decision makers to mitigate environmental, individual health and service delivery risks. In 2020, the population density of the George municipal area was 42 persons per square kilometre. In order of lowest to highest, the various local municipal areas in the GRD compare as follows: • Kannaland 5 people/km2 • Hessequa 9 people/km2 • Oudtshoorn 26 people/km2 • George 42 people/km2 • Mossel Bay 47 people/km2 • Bitou 68 people/km2 • Knysna 68 people/km2 2020 Socio-economic Profile: George Municipality 5 Educational facilities EDUCATION 50 Number of schools 34 Learner enrolment Number of 120 000 no-fee 100 000 schools 80 000 60 000 40 000 20 000 0 Garden Bitou George Hessequa Kannaland Knysna Mossel Bay Oudtshoorn Route 2017 104 500 8041 35441 8706 4679 12326 16650 18657 2018 106 289 8376 36174 8682 4749 12513 16986 18809 2019 107 367 8508 36688 8618 4718 12668 17399 18768 Number of schools with libraries Learner-Teacher 28 Ratio Garden Route 29.2 | 30.1 | 30.1 Bitou 30.4 | 32.2 | 32.3 Education George 29.0 | 29.9 | 29.7 outcomes Hessequa 27.7 | 28.6 | 28.9 Kannaland 28.3 | 31.4 | 31.6 Knysna 31.2 | 30.0 | 30.3 80.1 82.2 87.3 Oudtshoorn Mossel Bay 28.4 | 30.2 | 29.7 83.5 83.1 84.7 Oudtshoorn 29.6 | 30.0 | 29.7 Mossel Bay 72.4% 77.1% 83.8% Knysna 89.2% 85.6% 85.9% Kannaland Learner retention 87.4% 84.7% 91.5% 67.6% Hessequa Garden Route 65.3% 62.9% 56.8% 55.5% 83.7% 79.9% 82.0% Bitou 52.4% George 68.8% 73.0% George 66.8% 78.0% 82.2% 89.6% 64.4% 69.0% Bitou Hessequa 62.0% Kannaland 59.8% 67.2% 57.1% 82.0% 81.3% 85.1% Garden Route Knysna 64.7% 59.2% 51.2% 5% 2017 2018 2019 Mossel Bay 63.5% 66.2% 73.7% Oudtshoorn 66.4% 85% 85% 67.5% 59.4% 2020 Socio-economic Profile: George Municipality 6 Education Learner enrolment, the learner-teacher ratio and learner retention rate Learner enrolment in George increased by 1.7 per cent annually from 35 441 in 2017 to 36 688 in 2019. This annual average increase is slightly higher than the District annual average growth rate of 1.4 per cent. The learner teacher ratio at 29.7 is amongst the lowest in 2019 but is on an upward trend from 29.0 in 2017. The learner retention rate in George is on a downward trend, declining from 73.0 in 2018 to 66.8 in 2019 and is the second highest in the District. Number of schools In 2019, George had a total of 50 public ordinary schools. The large number of schools contributed to the relatively low learner teacher ratio when compared to the other municipalities in the District. Number of no-fee schools The proportion of no-fee schools increased slightly from 67 per cent in 2018 to 68 per cent in 2019, indicating that, given the tough economic climate, schools have been reporting an increase in parents being unable to pay their school fees. In an effort to alleviate some of the funding challenges the Western Cape Department of Education (WCED) offered certain fee-paying schools an opportunity to become no-fee schools. As a result more than two thirds of the schools in the George municipal area are registered with the Western Cape Department of Education as no-fee schools. Schools with libraries and media centres Schools with libraries and media centres have gradually decreased from 33 in 2017 to 28 in 2019, access to libraries and media centres can have an impact on the overall quality of education. Education Outcomes (Matric Pass Rates) Education remains one of the key avenues through which the state is involved in the economy. In preparing individuals for future engagement in the labour market, policy choices and decisions in the sphere of education play a critical role in determining the extent to which future economic and poverty reduction plans can be realised. George’s matric outcomes have exceeded 80 per cent in 2017 and 2019 and dropped slightly to 79.9 per cent in 2018. 2020 Socio-economic Profile: George Municipality 7 HEALTH Tuberculosis 1 650 Healthcare facilities 1 600 1 624 1 550 Regional hospitals 1 1 1 500 1 532 1 517 District hospitals 6 1 1 450 PHC facilities (Fixed clinics, 2017 2018 2019 CHCs and CDCs) 40 12 Community Day Centres 7 2 Maternal health Community Health Centres 00 PHC Clinics (Satelite and Delivery mobile) 37 4 Termination Maternal rate to of Mortality women PHC Clinics (Fixed) 33 10 pregnancy Rate under rate 20 years Garden Route George 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 George 92.4 85.9 13.7 15.0 1.1 1.1 Garden Emergency medical Route 57.6 33.4 15.9 15.6 0.6 0.6 District services Health Indicator George Garden Route No of operational ambulances per 2 2 10 000 people Child health (per 100 000) Low birth weight 16.4 19.0 HIV/AIDS Neonatal mortality rate Registered patients Number of new (per 1 000 live births) 9.2 12.3 receiving ART ART patients Area 2018 2019 2018 2019 Acute malnutrition rate (under 5 per 100 0000 1.9 0.3 George 8 735 9 468 1 216 957 Immunisasation rate Garden (under 1) 67.7 66.0 23 317 25 738 3 009 2 576 Route 85% 85% Garden Route George 2020 Socio-economic Profile: George Municipality 8 Health Healthcare Facilities According to the 2019 Inequality Trend Report by Statistics South Africa, 75.1 per cent of households in South Africa usually use public healthcare facilities when a household member gets ill compared to 24.9 per cent who use some private healthcare facilities in 2017.

The whale capital, Hermanus, and the safari region of the Eastern Cape, located on either side and just beyond the borders of the Garden Route have also been included in this document. The Garden Route was so named, due to its lush and ecologically diverse vegetation and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the scenic coastline. The region includes quaint coastal towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Nature’s Valley and George.

    Report Name:Avian Influenza Outbreak in Gauteng North West

    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: May 19, 2021 Report Number: SF2021-0032 Report Name: Avian Influenza Outbreak in Gauteng North West and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa Country: South Africa - Republic of Post: Pretoria Report Category: Poultry and Products Prepared By: Makoma Makgopa Approved By: Kyle Bonsu Report Highlights: On April 13, 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development announced that an avian influenza outbreak was detected in the Gauteng Province that led to the culling of 240,000 birds. Six days later, two additional commercial chicken properties tested positive for the H5 variant. One is a commercial chicken-layer farm also in Gauteng; the second one is a commercial chicken parent breeder farm in the North West Province. During May, two more outbreaks were reported in the Western Cape and in Gauteng. As a result of these outbreaks, Botswana and Mozambique restricted imports of poultry from South Africa. Notably, one of the three affected facilities is a registered compartment for export. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Background South Africa has experienced multiple Avian Influenza outbreaks in six commercial farms across three provinces during the month of April and May 2021. The outbreak is suspected to be linked to the flu caused by the European wild birds. On April 13, 2021, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) announced that an avian influenza (also known as “bird flu”) outbreak was detected in Ekurhuleni Municipality in the Gauteng Province.

    Corrosion Map of South Africa's Macro Atmosphere

    Corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere AUTHORS: Darelle T. Janse van Rensburg1,2 The first atmospheric corrosion map of South Africa, produced by Callaghan in 1991, has become outdated, Lesley A. Cornish1 because it primarily focuses on the corrosivity of coastal environments, with little differentiation given Josias van der Merwe1 concerning South Africa’s inland locations. To address this problem, a study was undertaken to develop AFFILIATIONS: a new corrosion map of the country, with the emphasis placed on providing greater detail concerning 1School of Chemical and Metallurgical South Africa’s inland regions. Here we present this new corrosion map of South Africa’s macro atmosphere, Engineering and DST-NRF Centre of Excellence in Strong Materials, based on 12-month corrosion rates of mild steel at more than 100 sites throughout the country. Assimilations University of the Witwatersrand, and statistical analyses of the data (published, unpublished and new) show that the variability in the corrosion Johannesburg, South Africa rate of mild steel decreases significantly moving inland. Accordingly, the average first-year corrosion rate of 2Orytech (Pty) Ltd, Roodepoort, South Africa mild steel at the inland sites (at all corrosion monitoring spots located more than 30 km away from the ocean) measured 21±12 µm/a [95% CI: 18–23 µm/a]. The minimum inland figure was about 1.3 µm/a (recorded CORRESPONDENCE TO: at Droërivier in the Central Karoo) and the maxima were approximately 51 µm/a and 50 µm/a in the industrial Darelle Janse van Rensburg hearts of Germiston (Gauteng) and Sasolburg (Free State), respectively.

Changes in population figures can mostly be attributed to three broad demographic processes namely, fertility, mortality and migration rates. This chapter provides a concise yet meaningful overview of key demographic variables that will assist with municipal planning and budgeting, namely estimates of population size, a sex ratio analysis, the distribution of population projections within age cohorts, dependency ratios, the number of households and household size compositions as well an overview of population density per local municipal area.
