PURPOSE To provide strategic planning and socio-economic information for the Implementation Readiness Study of the Department of Water Affairs for the Magalies to Waterberg Project. An estimate of water demand will also be provided. Primary sources of information includes Statistics South Africa, official municipal development planning documents and economic performance analyses from reputable private sector data suppliers, such as Quantec. 2. OVERVIEW OF AVAILABLE ECONOMIC INFORMATION 2.1 Waterberg Mining Strategy The Waterberg District comprises six local municipalities, of which three1 are included in the Magalies to Waterberg Implementation Readiness Study (IRS). The District commissioned a valuable Mining Sector Strategy in 2006 as a policy instrument through which leadership can be provided for mining development and investment. Mining production already represents a major component of the District economy and there is considerable potential for new mining development, particularly for platinum and coal. Some potential also exists for small scale mining development, especially in terms of granite and construction materials. Local business development can be significantly improved within the mining supply chain. However, the primary mining activity areas are focused in the northern and eastern part of the District, which leaves the three local municipalities that are the focus of this report, with relatively small mining activities. It should be pointed out that the Council for Geoscience has indicated significant occurrences of uranium in Bela Bela, but there are no indications of any interest to develop this resource at present. The Springbok Flats Coalfield underlays the three local municipalities concerned. It has a saleable coal reserve of approximately 1700 million tons (Coal Reserves of RSA, 1982). The coal quality is higher in the north-eastern part of the coalfield towards Mokopane. Although the coal has relatively high uranium content and averages 85%
