New Ways of Managing Water New ways of managing water Our new water laws have brought with them new ways of managing water, and new ways of looking at and working towards addressing some of the challenges facing us as we try to ensure that everyone has access to sufficient water.

The key principals, which guide water management in Our new management framework is shaped by and made possible by an enabling South Africa are that: legal framework. This legal framework shapes work with water and access to water at all levels, 1) South Africa’s water resources are an indivisible national asset. 2) National government will act as the custodian of the nation’s water from national to provincial resources and its powers will be exercised as a public trust. 3) All water in the cycle whether on land, underground or in surface chan- nels, falling on, flowing through or infiltrating between such systems, is part of the common resource and will be subject to common approaches. to local to village 4) Only the water required to meet basic human needs and maintain environ- mental sustainability will be guaranteed as a right.

INTRODUCTION In the past worthwhile “signature events” brought fame and fortune to countries, provinces and cities all over the world. Modern times with its competition on all fronts and increasing entertainment options make it very difficult to find a place in the sun for any new activity, and it is not easy to create such events without simply copying another event. Our aim was to find an event that would stand out and live up to the challenge of becoming a Signature event for Mpumalanga. This presentation tells you more. 2. THE SABIE 109TT This will be an event based on international proven results that will, combined with local vision and drive, create a Signature event for Mpumalanga. Chances are that it will become one of the best and most exciting South African Sporting events, ever! This event will be based on a world-renowned motorcycle race, held annually for more than a century on the Isle of Man. 3.

    African Journal of Herpetology, 2002 51(2): 83-119. Original article A review of the species of Psammophis Boie found south of Latitude 12° S (Serpentes: Psammophiinae) DONALD G. BROADLEY Research Associate, Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo Present address: Biodiversity Foundation for Africa,P.O. Box FM 730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe [email protected] Abstract.—The status, relationships and zoogeography of the 14 taxa of Psammophis found south of Latitude 12° S are reviewed and the following taxonomic changes are proposed: 1. Psammophis trinasalis and P. namibensis, previously treated as subspecies of P. leightoni, are recognised as good evolutionary species which show ecological differences. 2. Psammophis orientalis, previously regarded as a subspecies of P. subtaeniatus, differs from the lat- ter in a suite of characters and is parapatric with it in Zimbabwe, so it is now recognised as an evolu- tionary species. 3. Psammophis brevirostris and P. leopardinus, previously regarded as subspecies of P. sibilans (Linnaeus), are recognised as relict evolutionary species. The Zambian populations previously assigned to P. leopardinus have been described as a new species (Hughes & Wade, in press). Key words.—Psammophis, morphology, taxonomy, zoogeography, southern Africa ince the last review of the genus mossambicus has subsequently been applied to SPsammophis in southern Africa (Broadley this eastern sister taxon of P. phillipsii 1977), a revision of the whole genus was the (Hallowell) by Branch (1998) and Hughes subject of a thesis by Frank Brandstätter (1999).

The study area is situated on topographical map 1:50 000, 2431CD, which is in the Mpumalanga Province. This area falls under the jurisdiction of the Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, Ehlanzeni district. The National Heritage Resources Act, no 25 (1999)(NHRA), protects all heritage resources, which are classified as national estate. The NHRA stipulates that any person who intends to undertake a development, is subjected to the provisions of the Act. The land is currently vacant and the client, the Department of Public Works, Roads and Transport, seeks permission to establish a Traffic Training Academy for the province of Mpumalanga. The study area is 25ha, of which approximately 5 ha will be used for the construction of lecture rooms, training facilities, administrative offices, accommodation and recreational facilities (Information from BID document, Wandima Environmental Services). The area for the proposed development is currently vacant, with a variation of vegetation and trees.
