Lack of business planning
This study aimed to establish baseline data for performance concerning the business planning function of agricultural small-, micro- and medium-sized enterprises (Agri-SMMEs) in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. It also endeavoured to investigate the extent to which Agri-SMMEs that had adopted total quality management (TQM) had improved their business planning performance. An action research design and mixed methods, which included the int…
Municipal demarcation process in the establishment of the Collins Chabane Local Municipality and reasons for the eruption of Vuwani, South Africa
The demarcation of municipal boundaries in post-apartheid South Africa is characterised by objections from affected communities. Beyond polarising-affected communities, proposed redeterminations regularly elicit destruction of public infrastructure and even loss of life. Hostilities over municipal boundaries which were drawn in the rural areas for the first time. This article is drawn from the highly publicised demarcation unrests experienced in …
Geohydrological aspects of importance in the public management of basic water supply services in Merafong City Local Municipality (Carletonville area), South Africa
Carletonville is a gold-mining town in western Gauteng province, South Africa, and is located in the Merafong City Local Municipality's geographical area of responsibility. It is one of the richest gold-producing areas in the world but unfortunately the current state of the town's infrastructure is in shambles and the environment is in a pitiful state because of human activities that have caused massive physical changes. Geohydrological aspects s…
A proposed water sector plan for the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality (Dr KKDM)
The radical reform of potable water services provisioning by means of promulgation of the Water Services Act 108 of 1997 and the National Water Act 36 of 1998 in South Africa (SA) started a process of addressing the imbalance which existed in how the national resource was distributed. Water is now recognised as a scarce resource that belongs to all the people of the country and consequently it should be managed in an integrated way for social and…
Municipal management and geo-hydrological aspects of importance in the potable water supply of Lindley
When the South African Government in 1998 re-demarcated its 283 municipalities so that they completely cover the country in a 'wall-to-wall' manner, their main focus was on growing local economies and maintaining the provision of an increased number of diverse and more complex basic municipal services to new geographical areas consisting of millions of citizens who might previously had been neglected.In most of the instances the newly established…
Exploring aspects of the water history of the Potchefstroom region and the local management of it
It is by now common knowledge that South Africa is a water scarce country and that the correct public management of its potable water sources such as the transportation of it as well as the purification of the used water is of utmost importance. In the history of South Africa, the supply of potable water and basic sanitation services to all the inhabitants has never been higher on the national, provincial and especially the local government spher…
Integrated co-operative governance in the context of sustainable development
The rapid global development is mostly economically driven and made up of complex country-specific problems. Although sustainable development (SD) is a well established concept and an urgent global challenge, differing levels of progress had been made in organisations, communities and countries. To facilitate consistency of understanding, the authors accept the definition of 'sustainable development' as including the economic, social and environm…
A historiography on past scientific research and references to environmental health concerns in the Merafong gold mining region of South Africa
Goudmynbedrywighede is sinoniem met die hoofstroom ekonomiese aktiwiteit in die Merafong Munisipale gebied. Die omgewing van Merafong (Carletonville), geleë in die verre westelike dele van die Gauteng Provinsie, is al vir dekades wetenskaplik nagevors en bepraat in konferensies, in regeringskantore, die parlement, op voetsoolvlak en in die media. Die geologies gevormde dolomiet (karst) kompartemente gevul met natuurlike ondergrondse water en goud…
Historical overview of specific local government transformatory developments in South Africa
In hierdie artikel word die evolusie van plaaslike regering in Suid-Afrika sedert 1652 oorkoepelend beskou met ‘n spesifieke klem op veral plaaslike bestuur vanaf 1994 Suid-Afrika bestuur het, het dit spoedig nodig geblyk in die Kaapprovinsie. Nou ‘n nuwe politieke bestel dat die aard en omvang van die transformasie van plaaslike regering in terme van die verskillende bevolkingsgroepe en politieke ideologieë van die vorige politieke bestelle onde…
Municipal governance and environmental crises
Local government in South Africa (SA) has come a long way from the period when there were over 1200 racially segregated municipalities. From more than 800 municipalities after 1996, they have been merged to currently 284 municipalities which now cover every 'millimetre' of the country, and are focused on growing local economies and maintaining the provision of a lot more diverse and complex basic municipal services to all their citizens and espec…
Progress towards legislative transformation
Inwoners van Suid-Afrika behoort deurlopend herinner te word dat hulle ‘n waterarmland bewoon en dat kennis oor die fisiese omgewing en die aard en omvang van effektiewe openbare bestuur van watervoorsiening van strategiese belang is. Die oppervlakte- en grondwater wat in die rivieropvanggebiede saamvloei is hidrologies en geohidrologies verbind deur die hidrologiese kringloop. Laasgenoemde manifesteer in ‘n natuurlike omgewing wat nie net gekenm…
A physical environmental management perspective on municipal water supply
All South Africans, especially, those involved with the development and management of its water resources should be aware that South Africa is generally an arid to semi-arid region, with an average rainfall of approximately 500 mm per annum, compared to a world average of 860mm. Consequently, potable water is a very scarce resource, and is often the biggest prohibiting factor for development of, for example, new residential areas in a town or cit…
