INTRODUCTIONS 4 Executive Mayor’s Foreword Integrated Development Plan Review 2018/19 This Integrated Development Plan (IDP 2018/19) remains the cornerstone of our planning and implementation due to the extensive work that has been put into it. The year 2018 has been declared the centenary celebration (100) year of Nelson Mandela, it is a year of Unity Renewal and Jobs. Nothing will be more befitting in the celebration of the life of this hero than achieving these afore-mentioned goals during this year. His dedication to the freedom of South African people is unquestioned; he bared his life and soul for the people of this country so that they may be free someday. His humility, grace, forgiving and caring nature remains a pillar of strength for all the people of South Africa. As Gert Sibande District Municipality we are envisioned and deeply inspired to follow on the foot- steps of this Giant. Our plan has allowed us to implement our programmes and projects with confidence because of the credibility of our 5 year Integrated Development Plan. As we review our IDP we are certain that the adjustments will be minimal and will be in-line with our current programmes and projects. The public participation and izimbizo programmes spearheaded by both the Executive Mayor and the speaker, have took us to every part of our district and have continually enforced our commitments to the emancipation of our people. Delivering quality infrastructure to our people remains at the pinnacle of our commitment to service delivery. The RBIG schemes in Lusushwana and Amsterdam are in track to be completed in time. This will allow us to speed up the connection of our people to clean, safe and drinkable water. Our laboratory accreditation has also given us confidence that we will be able to produce the desired results with speed. Other projects such as community halls renovations, maintenance of high mast light and pothole patching have been going well and will continue to feature in our 5 year plan. The road blading and regravelling project is also a critical feature in the improvement of the places where our people live. This is one of the projects that will receive a lot of support even from the province. We will continue to focus on improving on our bursary scheme to make sure that our kids go to school, Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world” these words go a long way in assuring us that we are on the right track. There are many other programmes that the District is involved in, and all of these programmes are aimed at fighting all the inequalities in our communities. These programmes are the Mayoral Super cup, the famous GSDM Marathon and many more. The youth of Gert Sibande District is always close to our hearts in the District, we are therefore compelled to have programmes that are going to open employment opportunities. These programmes are driven by the youth manager in the office of the Executive Mayor. Women, children and people living with disability are also catered for in the office of the Executive Mayor. We will continue to work hard in order to change the lives of our people; the values that were shown by leader like Nelson Mandela will continue to give us strength even when all seems lost. …………………………………. COUNCILLOR M.G. CHIRWA EXECUTIVE MAYOR 5 Municipal Manager’s Overview Integrated Development Plan Review 2018/19 As we are about to embark to a new Financial Year 2018/19, it is the requirement of the Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000) that each municipal council, within the prescribed period after the start of its elected term, must adopt a process set out in writing to guide the planning, drafting, adoption and review of its Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The IDP is a strategic plan that guides and informs all planning processes, activities, decision making, budgeting and management in the municipality. According to Section 34 of the Municipal System Act (Act 32 of 2000) a municipal council must review its IDP Annually. The IDP is the key instrument to achieve developmental local governance for decentralised, strategic, participatory, implementation orientated, coordinated and integrated development. Preparing an IDP is not only a legal requirement in terms of the legislation but it is actually the instrument for realising Municipalities’ major developmental responsibilities to improve the quality of life of citizens. It seeks to speed-up service delivery by securing a buy-in of all relevant role-players and provides government departments and other social partners with a clear framework of the Municipality’s development trajectory to harness implementation efforts.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

The apartheid regime mobilised the army, the police and intelligence services to arrest thousands of activists and carry out a reign of terror. Mandela responded that “if the government’s response is to crush by naked force our non-violent struggle, …in my mind we are closing a chapter …on non-violent policy”. In December 1961 SA was rocked by sabotage actions by MK units in the major cities. Its manifesto declared “We of Umkhonto we Sizwe …carried out the sabotage activities to achieve liberation without bloodshed and civil clashes… Our actions are against the Nationalist’s preparations for civil war and military rule… We are working in the interests of all our people, black, brown and white, whose future and wellbeing cannot be attained without the overthrow of the Nationalists …the Military action at every stage had to be guided people’s patience is not endless.

  • The Geology and Geochemistry of the Sterkspruit Intrusion, Barberton Mountain Land, Mpumalanga Province
    THE GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE STERKSPRUIT INTRUSION, BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND, MPUMALANGA PROVINCE Gavin Patrick Conway A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 1997 11 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. __I_It __ ·daYOf A~V\.-~t 19 't1-- 111 ABSTRACT The Sterkspruit Intrusion, in the south-western portion of the Barberton greenstone belt, is a sill-like body containing rocks of gabbroic to dioritic composition. It is hosted by a sequence of komatiitic basalts and komatiites of the Lower Onverwacht Group. The intrusion is considered unique in this area in that it lacks ultramafic components and has no affinities with the surrounding mafic- to- ultramafic lavas. The gabbroic suite also contains an unusual abundance of quartz, and the chill margin shows an evolved quartz-normative, tholeiitic parental magma. Based on petrographic and geochemical evidence, the intrusion can be subdivided into four gabbroic zones and a quartz diorite, which is an end product of a differentiating magma. The chill margin records an MgO content of 4.8%, an Mg# of 42, an Si02 value of 52.5% and a normative plagioclase composition of An 44. The sill-like nature of the body, indicated by geochemical trends, and the steep sub-vertical layering, point to a body that has been tilted along with the surrounding lavas.

  • South Africa | Freedom House Page 1 of 8
    South Africa | Freedom House Page 1 of 8 South Africa freedomhouse.org In May 2014, South Africa held national elections that were considered free and fair by domestic and international observers. However, there were growing concerns about a decline in prosecutorial independence, labor unrest, and political pressure on an otherwise robust media landscape. South Africa continued to be marked by high-profile corruption scandals, particularly surrounding allegations that had surfaced in 2013 that President Jacob Zuma had personally benefitted from state-funded renovations to his private homestead in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) won in the 2014 elections with a slightly smaller vote share than in 2009. The newly formed Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a populist splinter from the ANC Youth League, emerged as the third-largest party. The subsequent session of the National Assembly was more adversarial than previous iterations, including at least two instances when ANC leaders halted proceedings following EFF-led disruptions. Beginning in January, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) led a five-month strike in the platinum sector, South Africa’s longest and most costly strike. The strike saw some violence and destruction of property, though less than AMCU strikes in 2012 and 2013. The year also saw continued infighting between rival trade unions. The labor unrest exacerbated the flagging of the nation’s economy and the high unemployment rate, which stood at approximately 25 percent nationally and around 36 percent for youth. Political Rights and Civil Liberties: Political Rights: 33 / 40 [Key] A. Electoral Process: 12 / 12 Elections for the 400-seat National Assembly (NA), the lower house of the bicameral Parliament, are determined by party-list proportional representation.

Editing, and project management were provided by Steven Heller, Kori Weinberger, Peter Stark, Eunice Lee, Ian Renner, and Max Niedzwiecki. In South Africa, we thank Liesl Theron of Gender DynamiX, Father Russell Pollitt and Dumisani Dube of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, Kaajal Ramjathan-Keogh of Lawyers for Human Rights, and Braam Hanekom and Guillain KoKo of PASSOP (People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty) who gave us advice and essential access to its cli- ents. We thank Charmaine Hedding, Sibusiso Kheswa, Siobhan McGuirk, Tara Ngwato Polzer, Sanjula Weerasinghe, and Rachel Levitan for their work coordinating and conducting the field research. Expert feedback and editing was provided by Libby Johnston and Melanie Nathan. We are particularly grateful to Anahid Bazarjani, Nicholas Hersh, Lucie Leblond, Minjae Lee, Darren Miller, John Odle, Odessa Powers, Peter Stark, and Anna von Herrmann. These dedi- cated interns and volunteers conducted significant amounts of desk research and pored over thou- sands of pages of interview transcripts over the course of months, assuring that every word and every comment by interviewees were meticulously taken into account in this report. These pages would be blank but for the refugees who bravely recounted their sagas seeking pro- tection, as well as the dedicated UNHCR, NGO, and government staff who so earnestly shared their experiences and understandings of the refugees we all seek to protect.
