The concept is illustrated in FiFiFigureFi gure 11161666....1111. • Existing Nodes: − The CBD area. − The primary cluster of community facilities located in Oostergloed. • Existing Routes − The main activity street in Riviersonderend is the N2 national road that bisects the town. − Muller Street − Alpha Street − Voortrekker Street • Edges: − Kleinberg Mountain to the north of Riviersonderend FFFIGURE 16.16.1111:::: RRRIVIERSONDEREND SPATISPATIALAL CONCEPT PLAN − The Sonderend River to the east of the town. − Intensive agricultural land to the south and west of the town. 16.4.3 Principles for iimplementingmplementing the spatial concept 111 • Encourage − the spatial integration of the Riviersonderend CBD and the Oostergloed business node (b) − the strengthening of the commercial sector activities in Main Road (a) − the development of public amenities and services north of the N2 (a) • Promote 1 Western Cape Provincial Spatial Development Framework - Areas of Intervention (a) Socio-Economic Development – alleviate poverty (b) Settlement Restructuring – promote spatial and social integration (c) Environmental Sustainability - promote environmental protection FEBRUARY 2012 URBAN DYNAMICS WESTERN CAPE 16-2 THEEWATERSKLOOF SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK ––– VOLUME II CHAPTER 16: RIVIERSONDEREND • Restrict − Riviersonderend as a popular stop-over destination between the Southern Cape and Cape Town (a) − development on flood prone areas (c) − a socio-economic gradient between different levels of income groups (b) − small scale farming activities where potential health hazards exist with regard to abutting residential communities (a) • Maintain / Protect − the rural character of Riviersonderend (a) • Contain − development within the urban edge of Riviersonderend (c) 16.4.4 Spatial Restructuring Forthcoming from the proposed spatial concept the need derives for strategic interventions (spatial restructuring) to create an integrated and compact urban form. The aim will be to restructure Riviersonderend so as to break down the spatial barriers and to make the town more convenient and pleasant to live in. These interventions are schematically illustrated in FFFigFigigigureure 16.16.2222 and include: • Spatial Integration − Encourage spatial integration between the Riviersonderend CBD and the Oostergloed local neighbourhood node through promoting Alpha and Muller Street as link routes. − Strengthen Voortrekker Road as a spatial link between the Northern and southern parts of the town. • Densification − Promote densification measures i.e. infill development, sub-divisions of erven, second dwellings etc in accordance with the densification guidelines set out in SSSectionSection 16.16.7777....2222.... − Encourage mixed use development along.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.

  • Archaeological Impact Assessment of the Proposed Extension of a Borrow Pit on Soetmelksvlei 150, Greyton Area, Overberg District Municipality, Western Cape
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF A BORROW PIT ON SOETMELKSVLEI 150, GREYTON AREA, OVERBERG DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY, WESTERN CAPE (Assessment conducted under Section 38 (8) of the National Heritage Resources Act as part of a Heritage Impact Assessment) Prepared for: Vidamemoria Heritage Consultants Att: Ms Quahnita Samie E-mail: [email protected] On behalf of: Nadeson Consulting Services Prepared by: Madelon Tusenius Natura Viva cc PO Box 12410 Mill Street, Cape Town 8010 Phone: (021) 462 3622 E-mail: [email protected] OCTOBER 2012 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natura Viva cc was appointed by Vidamemoria Heritage Consultants on behalf of Nadeson Consulting Services to undertake an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) for the proposed extension of an existing borrow pit DR1303/16.50/R/1250 (Vidamemoria pit no. 179) between Greyton and Riviersonderend in the Overberg District Municipality. Material excavated from the proposed pit extension will be used for the maintenance of the DR1303. No new roads will have to be constructed as access to the quarry site will be via existing roads and tracks. Special erosion measures will have to be implemented during rehabilitation of the site after quarrying activities have ceased. This study forms part of the Heritage Impact Assessment triggered by the development. The brief for the study was a field visit and short report identifying and assessing archaeological resources and any impact on them, an assessment of significance and recommendations regarding any mitigation required. The field assessment was conducted on foot on 17 September 2012. Archaeological visibility was good on the sparsely-vegetated steep slopes of the hill which forms the major part of the proposed extension.

  • THE DECLINE of the CAPE GENTRY, 1838–C
    Journal of African History, (), pp. –. Printed in the United Kingdom # Cambridge University Press THE DECLINE OF THE CAPE GENTRY, 1838–c. 1900 School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London T final ending of slavery in marked a radical break in the agrarian history of the Cape Colony." The liberated slaves could and did make use of the mobility that emancipation allowed them. This amounted to a real negotiation of the price of labour, for at various points in the nineteenth century the price of labour threatened the very profitability of farming. For the greater part of the century many landlords were led, in the words of one colonial official, ‘to look back…with something very like an envious eye, to the days in which slavery was tolerated by law, because then the slaveholder could command labour whenever it was needed.’# For the former slaveowners, the outcome was agricultural innovation and routine insolvency, and merchants came to have an increasingly important role in the rural political economy. But post-emancipation agrarian structures were not merely shaped by the incursion of merchant capital and the mobility of labour. The former slaveholders displayed a remarkable tenacity. Most significantly, Cape landlords were heirs to a carefully constructed political economy in which the rules governing the circulation of land and wealth were clearly defined in community and familial terms and in which the ties of credit ran both vertically and horizontally. This was a ‘moral community’ in which all were cushioned against the sometimes detrimental effects of participation in a market economy.$ It is for this reason that the intervention of English-speaking merchants, by not paying due regard to these rules, was of a qualitatively different kind.
