A critical review of the South African freshwater angling legislative framework / Morné Viljoen.Viljoen, Morné January 2010 (has links)
Prior to 1993, freshwater angling in South Africa had been governed by the
respective nature conservation legislation of the four South African provinces, the
four “independent homelands" and the six so-called Bantustans. In 1993 a South
Africa with nine provinces was created, of which only Limpopo and Mpumalanga
promulgated its own laws governing freshwater angling.
From 2008 angling for listed threatened and protected freshwater fish species has
been regulated by the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act,
supplemented by the Threatened or Protected Species Regulations. In addition, it is
anticipated that the Alien and Invasive Species Regulations, which will regulate
angling for listed alien and invasive freshwater fish, will be promulgated in the near
future. The result is that freshwater angling is currently being governed by a plethora
of pre-1993 provincial, homeland and Bantustan legislation, two post-1993 provincial
acts, as well as post-1993 national legislation.
In this dissertation the South African freshwater angling legislative framework was
critically analysed. It was found that the multitude of fragmented and complex laws,
created 15 “angling provinces” which leads to confusion amongst anglers and
government officials alike. In the process legal certainty and reasonableness,
cornerstones of a sound legal system, are being compromised, indigenous
freshwater fish are not adequately protected and alien or invasive freshwater fish are
not properly managed.
In the light of the above, and after taking comments by anglers and enforcement
officials into account, recommendations are made for an improved legislative
framework for freshwater in South Africa. It is recommended that all freshwater fish
species be managed and/or protected on a catchment basis, as opposed to the
current provincial basis. This will ensure legal certainty and reasonableness and that
all indigenous freshwater fish which are subject to the similar threats are protected
adequately and uniformly. / Thesis (M. Environmental Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

Gevaarlike afval in huishoudelike afval : 'n gevallestudie / Rianca KruisKruis, Rianca January 2010 (has links)
Rapid population growth and urbanisation has resulted in a drastic increase in the
volume of waste produced by the World populace. The resulting pressure on the
country’s somewhat underdeveloped waste management infrastructure emphasizes the
need for waste management solutions which balance environmental protection with
economic sustainability.
Waste is seen as an unwanted or surplus by-product, emission or residue of any
process or activity which has been discarded, accumulated or stored for the purpose of
discarding or future processing. Hazardous waste is waste that may, by circumstance
of use, quantity, concentration or inherent physical, chemical or infectious
characteristics, cause ill-health or an increased mortality rate in humans, fauna and/or
flora. General waste on the other hand, is waste that does not pose an immediate
threat to human health or the environment. Currently household waste is considered
general waste even though it may contain hazardous components such as fluorescent
tubes and/or other household chemicals.
Promulgation of NEM: WA (no 59 of 2008) provides instruments for the implementation
of the steps taken by the Department of Environmental Affairs to improve waste
management in South Africa. Successful implementation and enforcement of the act
will place the country at the forefront of progressive international standards in waste
management. One of South Africa’s largest environmental and waste management
challenges remains the presence of historical, hazardous waste landfill sites.
Characterisation of the dangers that these sites pose to the environment is providing
extremely difficult and expensive, as is the ongoing maintenance and management of
these facilities – placing economic strain on national municipalities.
This study was done in two phases. The first related to the hazardous waste
components of household waste that is being dumped at landfill site and the methods of
classification, handling and dumping of hazardous waste have been investigated. All
the legislation was taken into consideration to see if the landfill sites comply with the
latest legislation. The second phase was a comparison between three landfill sites.
The management, work activities and general appearance of the sites have been
compared internally. Then a comparison have been done between the following landfill sites Kwaggasrand
landfill site in Tshwane, Weltevreden landfill site in Brakpan and an ideal landfill site
developed in accordance with the Minimum Requirements documents published by of
DEAT in 1998. / Thesis (M.Sc. (Geography and Environmental Studies))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Comparative analysis of environmental impact assessment compliance by two developers in the Northern Cape Province, South AfricaShubane, Mahlatse Juddy 06 1900 (has links)
The study was undertaken to investigate the following: limiting factors faced by the developers in complying with the EIA conditions and to determine whether the various developers comply with the conditions. The study was undertaken by use of questionnaires, site visits, meetings, photographs, group interviews. Trained fields assistants were also used to administer the questionnaires in order to collect data.
Data from two sites were collected between 2012 and 2014 and were intentionally collected in order to provide information regarding the implementation of mitigation measures. The collected data was subjected to SAS (statistical software). Chi-square test for independence was performed in order to compare the differences (Snedecor & Cocharen, 1978) between the two sites.
Based on the results of the study, it is therefore recommended that competent authorities should consider drafting and supplying follow-up guidelines and these guidelines should also apply to all the relevant role players involved. / Environmental Sciences / M. Sc. (Environmental Management)

Evaluation of environmental compliance with solid waste management practices from mining activities : a case study of Marula Platinum MineManyekwane, Dikeledi, Lethabo January 2019 (has links)
Thesis (M. Sc.(Geography)) -- University of Limpopo, 2019 / Global production of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) is dominated by South Africa due to
its large economic resources base in the Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC). PGMs are
used in a wide range of high technology applications worldwide including medicinal,
industrial and commercial purposes, and its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) and creating jobs for many. In an area where mining activities dominate, there are
likely to be problems that need effective environmental management approaches, which
can be facilitated through legislations. Marula Platinum Mine (MPM) is located in Limpopo
province BIC which has the second largest number of mining productivity in South Africa.
Environmental legislations have been put in place by the South African government in
order to avoid or minimise the footprints caused by PGM mining.
This study looked at environmental compliance with solid waste management practices
by Marula Platinum Mine (MPM) as guided by Mineral and Petroleum and Resource
Development Act (MPRDA) and National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) as
well as the environmental impacts of MPM in the surrounding communities. Both primary
(questionnaires, field observations and key informant interviews) and secondary (NEMA,
MPRDA, journals, reports, pamphlets, internet and books) data was used to address the
objectives of the study. Descriptive method and Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS) version 25 were used for the analysis of data. The key research results revealed
that MPM was compliant with 65% and 21% partially compliant with solid waste
management practices. Only 14% of information on solid waste management practices
could not be accessed because MPM is still operational. MPM had also had negative
footprints on the surrounding villages such as dust generation and cracks on walls and
floors on houses of community members, strikes and increase in the usage of substance
abuse.
Recommendations of the study are that MPM should address challenges that hinder
environmental compliance so as to be 100% compliant with MPRDA and NEMA
regulations. MPM should also provide other mitigation measures for blasting of explosives
to reduce dust generation and problems of cracks on houses of surrounding village
members.
