MAYOR’S FOREWORD The World faces another monster beyond just about 13 years after the Great Recession. We saw the Western Governments making tax cuts to remedy the situation. This time the enemy is invisible. Its victims are increasing daily with South Africa as a nation applied a lockdown which is getting relaxed in stages to keep the nation’s economic endevours alive. Amahlathi Municipality has taken a serious portion suffering from the COVID19 and its lockdown. Victims of these processes are clearly identified from the unemployed and impoverished of our settlements. They have lived their lives depending on survival mechanism such as doing piece jobs, car guards, washing cars and street vendors. Some escaped the realities of a frustrating life through alcohol and substance abuse. These fell victim to the home-made concoction when the lockdown saw closure of liquor stores and liquor restaurants. The Amahlathi Municipality is every effort possible to turn the situation around discharging the objects of local government to ensure the better life is possible for its people. In this years’ strategy, in accordance with the provisions of the laws that govern the affairs of the municipality and having consulted the people of our community we are confident that IDP Review and Budget for the 2020/21 financial year are meant to make a serious difference. Chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 makes community participation in the affairs, programmes and activities of the municipality a legal obligation. This IDP is not yet the culmination of the required lengthy process of consultation with the local community, however that is to be the case before the final approval of 29th May 2020. Accordingly, this IDP should carry the whole aspirations of the masses of our community which the 2020/21 Budget must seek to finance. Therefore, this IDP must be seen as a big step out of the crisis of 2018/18 and 2019/20 financial years which saw community protest lasting more than five months. This IDP is also work in progress towards the final mandate of the 2017 – 2022 IDP adopted May 2017 as a beacon of hope that will continue to guide us over the term building a better life for all our communities. This IDP Review must be presented to the council for final approval. In this regard, section 24 of Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003 prescribes that “…the final budget must be tabled 30 days before the start of the budget year.” Given our experiences over the past five months we must remain committed to the realization of the Five National Key Performance Areas of municipalities, being the following: Good Governance and Public Participation Municipal Transformation and Organisational Development Basic Infrastructure and Service Delivery Local Economic Development Municipal Financial Viability and Management Amahlathi Local Municipality is determined to achieve its strategic objectives through partnership with communities in addressing the basic services as outlined in its Integrated Development Plan (IDP). It is also important to mention that the municipality has aligned its planning to the Provincial Growth and Development Plan (PGDP), through the development of 3 | P a g e 2020/21 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) REVIEW targets that focuses on addressing issues identified in the PGDP. This is done in order to improve the quality of lives of its community. Our IDP and 2020/21 Budget will go a long way in improving the quality of life of our community by broadening accessibility and possibility of poverty alleviation. _____________________ Cllr. A. Hobo Her Worship, the Mayor Amahlathi Local Municipality 4 | P a g e 2020/21 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) REVIEW B. MUNICIPAL MANAGERS MESSAGE IDP review is a requirement for compliance with the provisions of the Municipal Systems Act, No. 32 of 2000 that requires the review of IDP Annually as the 2017-2022 5 year IDP was developed and adopted by Amahlathi Municipality’s Council by May 2017. The IDP Review of 2020/21 offers the organizational re-design, roles and responsibilities of key personnel and committees, as well as Amahlathi Municipality’s Turnaround Plan that will be undertaken to ensure the IDP’s successful implementation. This IDP Review also emphasizes the need for alignment of the IDP to inter alia the State of the Nation Address, National Development Plan 2030 and a strategic focus on Youth Development. It is indicated in the IDP Review 2020/21 that situational analysis is undertaken to offer insights amongst others on the state of the municipality since the world-wide COVID19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown that not only helped curb the spreading of the disease but on other side it severely affected the anticipated revenue. 2020/21 IDP also provides overview of the milestones that have been achieved as a result of the implementation of the previous IDP as well as the other challenges that need to be tackled. ___________________________ MUNICIPAL MANAGER MS IVY SIKHULU-NQWENA 5 | P a g e 2020/21 INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) REVIEW BACKGROUND TO THIS DOCUMENT i. Legislative background This document represents the 2017/22 Integrated Development Plan (IDP) as prepared and adopted by the Amahlathi Local Municipality. It is submitted and prepared in fulfilment of the Municipality’s legal obligation in terms of Section 25 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000. In addition to the legal requirement for every Municipality to compile an Integrated Development Plan, the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 also requires that: the IDP be implemented; the Municipality monitors and evaluates its performance with regards to the IDP’s implementation; the IDP be reviewed annually to effect necessary changes and improvements. Section 34 further states that: “A municipal council must review its integrated development plan annually in accordance with an assessment of its performance measurements and to the extent that changing circumstances so demand.” ii. The IDP Review Process This is a 2017/22 Integrated Development Plan (IDP) that was tabled to Council on the 31st May 2017, this IDP is reviewed annually for a five-year period from 2017/18 until 2022. Therefore this means this is the third review to be implemented during 2020/21 financial year. This document is substantially based on the format and layout of its predecessor.

    BIRD-LORE OF THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE BY REV. ROBERT GODFREY, M.A. " Bantu Studies " Monograph Series, No. 2 JOHANNESBURG WITWATERSRAND UNIVERSITY PRESS 1941 598 . 29687 GOD BIRD-LORE OF THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE BIRD-LORE OF THE EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE BY REV. ROBERT GODFREY, M.A. " Bantu Studies" Monograph .Series, No. 2 JOHANNESBURG WITWATERSRAND UNIVERSITY PRESS 1941 TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN HENDERSON SOGA AN ARDENT FELLOW-NATURALIST AND GENEROUS CO-WORKER THIS VOLUME IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED. Published with the aid of a grant from the Inter-f University Committee for African Studies and Research. PREFACE My interest in bird-lore began in my own home in Scotland, and was fostered by the opportunities that came to me in my wanderings about my native land. On my arrival in South Africa in 19117, it was further quickened by the prospect of gathering much new material in a propitious field. My first fellow-workers in the fascinating study of Native bird-lore were the daughters of my predecessor at Pirie, Dr. Bryce Ross, and his grandson Mr. Join% Ross. In addition, a little arm y of school-boys gathered birds for me, supplying the Native names, as far as they knew them, for the specimens the y brought. In 1910, after lecturing at St. Matthew's on our local birds, I was made adjudicator in an essay-competition on the subject, and through these essays had my knowledge considerably extended. My further experience, at Somerville and Blythswood, and my growing correspondence, enabled me to add steadily to my material ; and in 1929 came a great opportunit y for unifying my results.

  • Biomonitoring of the Keiskamma River System (R10 Catchment)
    BIOMONOTORING OF THE KIESKAMMA RIVER SYSTEM (R 10 CATCHMENT) Figure 1; Sandile Dam March 2008 PREPARED BY: Mlondolozi N. Mbikwana Assisted by: Tembela Bushula Collection of data: M.N. Mbikwana, K. Mkosana, E. Weni, T Bushula and N. Finca PO BOX 7019 EAST LONDON 5201 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main objective of the South African National River Health Programme (NRHP) makes use of the instream and riparian biological communities like the fish, macro invertebrates and vegetation to assess the ecological health or condition of rivers. These biological communities are always found in rivers and they are often affected by any disturbance that occurs in the river ecosystem. This report provides the results of the biomonitoring survey that was undertaken in November 2007. Field indices used for data collection included the South African Scoring System version 5.0 (SASS5) for Macro invertebrates and the Fish Assemblage Integrity Index for fish (FAII). Ten biomonitoring sites were selected in the Keiskamma River system; this includes three sites in the Tyume River (a tributary to Keiskamma River) and they are: Site Description Coordinates Site Code 1 Tyume Head waters (Hogsback) S32o 36’ 39.8”, E26o R1Tyum-Hogsb 56’ 52.2” 1a ** Tyume Head waters (Sompondo S32o 37’ 34.2”, E26o R1Tyum-Sompo ** Village) 57’ 19.9” 2 Tyume Fort Hare S32o 46’ 44.6”, E26o R1Tyum-Forth 51’ 21.5” 3 Tyume before confluence with S32o 54’ 06.2”, E26o R1Tyum-Becon Keiskamma river 55’ 40.0” 4 Keiskamma above confluence with S32o 54’ 41.9”, E26o R1Keis-abcon Tyume 56’ 17.6” 5 Keiskamma

  • Strategic Military Colonisation: the Cape Eastern Frontier 1806 – 1872
    46 STRATEGIC MILITARY COLONISATION: THE CAPE EASTERN FRONTIER 1806–1872 Linda Robson* and Mark Oranje† Department of Town and Regional Planning, University of Pretoria Abstract The Cape Eastern Frontier of South Africa offers a fascinating insight into British military strategy as well as colonial development. The Eastern Frontier was for over 100 years a very turbulent frontier. It was the area where the four main population groups (the Dutch, the British, the Xhosa and the Khoikhoi) met, and in many respects, key decisions taken on this frontier were seminal in the shaping of South Africa. This article seeks to analyse this frontier in a spatial manner, to analyse how British settlement patterns on the ground were influenced by strategy and policy. The time frame of the study reflects the truly imperial colonial era, from the second British occupation of the Cape colony in 1806 until representative self- governance of the Cape colony in 1872. Introduction British colonial expansion into the Eastern Cape of Southern Africa offers a unique insight into the British method of colonisation, land acquisition and consolidation. This article seeks to analyse the British imperial approach to settlement on a turbulent frontier. The spatial development pattern is discussed in order to understand the defensive approach of the British during the period 1806 to 1872 better.

  • Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study For
    Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa Using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data Pilot Study – Catchment Management Area 15 by D van Bladeren, P K Zawada and D Mahlangu SRK Consulting & Council for Geoscience Report to the Water Research Commission on the project “Statistical Based Regional Flood Frequency Estimation Study for South Africa using Systematic, Historical and Palaeoflood Data” WRC Report No 1260/1/07 ISBN 078-1-77005-537-7 March 2007 DISCLAIMER This report has been reviewed by the Water Research Commission (WRC) and approved for publication. Approval does not signify that the contents necessarily reflect the views and policies of the WRC, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION During the past 10 years South Africa has experienced several devastating flood events that highlighted the need for more accurate and reasonable flood estimation. The most notable events were those of 1995/96 in KwaZulu-Natal and north eastern areas, the November 1996 floods in the Southern Cape Region, the floods of February to March 2000 in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape provinces and the recent floods in March 2003 in Montagu in the Western Cape. These events emphasized the need for a standard approach to estimate flood probabilities before developments are initiated or existing developments evaluated for flood hazards. The flood peak magnitudes and probabilities of occurrence or return period required for flood lines are often overlooked, ignored or dealt with in a casual way with devastating effects. The National Disaster and new Water Act and the rapid rate at which developments are being planned will require the near mass production of flood peak probabilities across the country that should be consistent, realistic and reliable.
