10 September 2020 Media Release: Illegal dumping needs to stop for the sake of all of us

Media Release: Illegal dumping needs to stop for the sake of all of us

For immediate release
10 September 2020

Illegal dumping and littering is a national environmental problem which has a detrimental effect on human health.  This problem not only negatively affects the environment, but it also has social and economic repercussions, such as detrimental impact on tourism.  Recently it became widely known that illegal dumping is prevalent in the majority of the identified COVID-19 hotspots in the Garden Route district.

With the above in mind, the need to effectively clear and manage illegal dumping in the COVID-19 hotspot areas has become a matter of urgency.  Consequently, an investigation was initiated by the Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) to determine the challenges of each local municipality to effectively manage illegal dumping in their respective municipalities. Also, to determine the associated costs relating to doing this for the remainder of the 2020-2021 financial year.

According to the local municipalities, all the identified illegal dumping hotspots in the Garden Route district receive waste management services.  In most municipalities, waste skips are placed in and around areas where illegal dumping is prevalent and waste disposal at the waste facilities is also free of charge.  Therefore, illegal dumping is not due to a lack of waste management services but is however a human behavioural issue.  The problem is especially prevalent in less affluent areas of municipalities. There are a countless number of instances where domestic waste is disposed of in ravines and open spaces.  Similarly, small builders and gardening service providers are also frequently reported for illegally dumping builders’ rubble and garden waste in open spaces and road reserves. These areas become particularly difficult to access by means of machinery i.e. front-end loaders and tipper trucks and therefore require a different approach.

GRDM has found that each local municipality has unique needs, volumes of illegally dumped waste and clearing methodologies and the costing and implementation of a district or standardised approach will therefore not be efficient.  Also, the majority of the local municipalities have a dire lack of budget allocation and/or understanding of the requirements to effectively manage illegal dumping.

As a result, a project was identified to clear all accumulated waste in the COVID-19 and illegal dumping hotspots.  The project aims to implement measures to maintain clean and hygienic conditions in these areas to mitigate the associated detrimental health effects. A door-to-door educational and awareness campaign on proper waste management and environmental pollution will be conducted. This grassroots level approach will attempt to change residents’ attitudes towards illegal dumping. Also, it would be a great achievement if behavioural change can happen through the buy-in of the community. This will ensure that the project is sustainable.

Due to the enormity of the project and the associated costs at a district level, the project will be implemented in a phased approach.  Phase 1 of the project will entail the clearing of illegally dumped waste in the Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp areas of the George Municipality, for four months from September 2020 until the end of December 2020.  George Municipality, specifically Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp, were identified as the areas where illegal dumping is currently most prevalent in the district. Therefore, these areas are perfectly suited for the implementation of Phase 1 of the project.  The project will be rolled-out in collaboration with the applicable local municipalities and in this case, George Municipality.

Front-end loaders and tipper trucks will be utilised for the clearing of large stockpiles of illegally dumped domestic waste as well as for the clearing of accumulated garden waste and builders’ rubble.

Community-based contractors and workforces i.e. employment of workers from within the communities will be utilised for the areas that are inaccessible to large machinery and equipment.  The EPWP job creation approach is being used, which means that EPWP participants are being recruited and appointed by the GRDM for a period of four months.  The GRDM will appoint a total of thirty-five (35) EPWP participants as support staff to the front-end loaders which will include fourteen (14) EPWP participants as support staff to the front-end loaders provided by George Municipality. Thirty-six (36) EPWP participants will be appointed for the door-to-door education and awareness and the conduction of a survey to determine the causal factors contributing to illegal dumping.  George Municipality will implement loud hailing throughout the illegal dumping areas in order to inform residents of the project and to request their cooperation during and after the project.  The Ward Councillors of the respective wards in Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp will also assist in spreading the word.

George Municipality has already appointed two contractors to commence with the clearing of illegal dumping in Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp by using a front end loader and tipper trucks. One supporting team was dispatched to assist the JCB with clean-up of waste that cannot be cleaned by the Frontend Loader.

 

9 September 2020 Media Release: Tourism Month – Western Cape tourist guide registration system goes online

Media Release: Tourism Month – Western Cape tourist guide registration system goes online

For Immediate Release
9 September 2020

We are excited to announce a new online system launched to make it easier for the 5 000 tourist guides in the Western Cape to register, renew and update their details.

Until now tourist guides have had to complete application forms in hard copy or via email, but now the new online registration system provides them with the opportunity to register or create a profile, search the knowledge base of resources, give feedback, ask a question and chat with an agent.

Access to the tourist guide registration system is through the Western Cape Government eService portal.

With the re-opening of inter-provincial travel under Alert Level 2, our tourist guides play an important role in welcoming visitors to the Western Cape and ensuring they have a great experience and keep coming back.

Our new online registration, which is the first of its kind in South Africa, is just one of the many ways we have been working hard to support tourist guides during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Western Cape.

To ensure that our tourist guides were able to access the relief funding that national government made available to them, we collected and verified the details of an estimated 5 000 tourist guides which were then submitted to the Department of Tourism to receive financial support.

Our “One Day” tourism campaign which was developed by Wesgro and launched to inspire future travellers during the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, also provided an opportunity for tourist guides to become virtual guides, using streaming services to conduct tours of our top experiences in the Western Cape. At the end of the virtual tour, viewers had the chance to show their appreciation to the tourist guides through Paypal or Snapscan.

From September, tourist guides can also schedule appointments to collect their tourist guide ID cards and badges from the Tourism Guide Registration Office at Waldorf Building, 80 St George’s Mall. While the Office remains partially closed due to the Covid-19 restrictions, almost 200 tourist guide ID cards and badges are ready for collection. To collect, tourist guides must schedule an appointment with one of our staff members:

Media Release: GDP contraction: We will apply the same urgency to rebuilding our economy as we did to the health response in the Western Cape

For Immediate Release

GDP contraction: We will apply the same urgency to rebuilding our economy as we did to the health response in the Western Cape

The massive 51% real GDP contraction in the second quarter of this year shows just how devastating the lockdown has been on the economy across South Africa.

When the national economy contracts, the provincial economy contracts, and so there is no doubt that the lockdown will have a severe impact on the economy in the Western Cape.

However, one positive is the agricultural sector which has grown by 15% and provides a glimmer of hope as this sector contributed 209 798 jobs and R21 billion to the economy in 2019 in the Western Cape.

We have led the way in calling for the opening of the economy where it was safe to do so, with some success in the re-opening of the ecommerce, construction and tourism sectors.

We have worked hard to support businesses during the crisis with many resources and tools such as:

  • the Covid-19 Content Centre, set up with our partners at Wesgro and the City of Cape Town, to provide support and advice for businesses during the crisis,
  • the Covid-19 support finder which helps businesses navigate and access the many financial relief packages available to them,
  • our Red Tape Reduction Unit which assists businesses, including small businesses, with information such as how to start a business and where to register a business, as well as red tape related issues, such as delayed permits
  • our health guidelines and information materials on preventing and managing Covid-19 infections in the workplace, and
  • our PPE marketplace which helps businesses to find Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suppliers and which supports small businesses providing PPE to private businesses.

We have stood with business through the crisis and we remain committed to standing with business in recovery, which is why we are now moving forward and focusing on our economic recovery with all the urgency of the health response in the Western Cape.

We have launched our “We Are Open” domestic tourism campaign, and we will continue to call for the further opening of the economy where it is safe to do so. This includes calling for the opening of our borders to allow international travel, which is critical to supporting businesses in the hardest hit tourism and hospitality sector in the Western Cape.

News Release: Donations to vulnerable communities welcomed

Recently the Indigo Fruit Farm in Heidelberg (Hessequa) donated two containers of naartjies respectively to the Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) Disaster Management Centre for distribution to vulnerable communities.

Representatives of Indigo Farm and Garden Route District Municipality with the nectarines donated to the communities of the Garden Route.

The first donation was made in July and the second donation later in August 2020.  Approximately 1 360 packets of naartjies, 4 100 (kg) kilograms were collected by the GRDM team from the farm.

Mr Frank Oosthuizen, Manager at Indigo Fruit, said: “Our donation came at a time when vulnerable communities in the Garden Route needed it the most and we could therefore reach out to these households.  We are grateful to the Garden Route District Disaster Management Centre who indicated that they would be able to distribute the fruit to the local municipalities for distribution in their respective municipal areas”.

Mr Gerhard Otto, Manager of Disaster Management at GRDM, extended a word of appreciation to the Indigo Farm for their generous donation to the communities of the district.

Hospitalisation

From our latest available information, there are currently 97 patients admitted in public and private hospitals of which 17 are in High Care/ICU.

Isolation and quarantine

People who cannot isolate or quarantine safely at home (risk to themselves or exposure risk to others), can be referred to an isolation or quarantine facility.

Isolation facilities are for patients who have been infected with the COVID-19 virus (with mild to moderate symptoms) where they can recover. Quarantine facilities are for those have been exposed and are awaiting test results. These facilities are safe, have been made as comfortable as possible and you will receive free transport, meals, and a laundry service. PetroSA (West Camp) is currently the only activated isolation and quarantine facility in the Garden Route. More facilities have been identified and will be activated, if and when the need arises or capacity is exceeded at PetroSA. We currently have 13 people at the West Camp facility.

Catching up on the most urgent essential health services without risking patient and staff safety

While the health service platform must remain geared to deal with COVID-19 pandemic (including a possible second wave of infections), the Department of Health wants to scale up essential health services in a balanced manner.  The Department’s risk and impact based approach is guiding the services to be reintroduced identifying those services which have low risk yet high impact (such as immunisation services). These services which had reduced significantly during the COVID pandemic, will have a significant long term impact for those clients who had missed immunisations, follow-up appointments and scheduled non-emergency treatment.

Please note that currently all preventative services are offered:

  • Women’s health (family planning, antenatal and post-natal care)
  • Men’s health
  • Child health(immunisations)
  • Chronic disease management (TB, HIV, Diabetes, etc.)

3 September 2020 Media Release: Let’s talk more about the businesses we support

Media Release: Let’s talk more about the businesses we support

For Immediate Release
3 September 2020

COVID-19 has severely impacted businesses, including Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs). It is for this reason that the Garden Route District Municipality has decided to launch a campaign in collaboration with Garden Route and Klein Karoo Tourism and the Garden Route Development Partnership to help these businesses to recover, remain open and to keep their current employees.

September is also Tourism month, with the focus on boosting tourism and rural development. These role players are critical and play a major role towards the development of rural communities through measures that could alleviate poverty, create jobs and stimulate the economy.

According to the GRDM Tourism Coordinator, Ms Amagene Koeberg, the impact of COVID-19 on the Tourism sector was devastating, causing most businesses not to operate for months. “This resulted in many communities to having no form of income, however communities can help get businesses back on track by promoting them amongst their friends and family on social media,” said Koeberg.

Call-to-Action

Garden Routers are therefore invited to participate in a campaign which seeks to boost the visibility of businesses on social media. This can be done by posting a positive review of a business you often support to your personal profile on social media. We recommend that people include photos/videos of the products or services rendered to make the post more appealing.

For the GRDM to be able to track the campaign success, hashtags of #gardenrouteandme and #myfavouritebusiness have to be used. Posts also need to be made public (shareable). If a person is not making use of social media, pictures or videos can be shared to communications@gardenroute.gov.za. The GRDM primarily uses Facebook and Twitter, but will monitor other social media platforms too.

What does this campaign offer to businesses

The primary benefit for a business is visibility. When Garden Routers promote a business by reviewing it and using the hashtags provided, posts are shared to social media pages of Local Government and Tourism offices. After this, possible re-shares, mentions and interactions might occur. Word-of-mouth is also at play here, because awareness is created about the existence of businesses that might not be known to everyone else. Also, the person sharing pictures and a word of support also means that a business might get some leads.

It is now more than ever before important for us to show businesses our support. Let’s all be committed to get the region back to work safely.

The lease agreement is the cornerstone of a key social-entrepreneurial venture which will have an immense socio-economic impact on the region. The lease will attract a multi-million rand investment into the local economy, boosting job creation and reducing unemployment, investment in relevant and quality skills development which increases employee earnings, an investment in green technology at the resort including solar energy which will be integrated with municipal infrastructure, thus bringing energy security to the resort and clients. The district will attract fiscal revenues from tourism and hospitality generated from the development.

The entire property (30ha) is proposed to be used for resort purposes. The George Municipality SDF states that Kleinkrantz is to be upgraded and formally developed sensitively in an ecologically sustainable way to minimise impact on its surrounds; minimise ongoing operational servicing costs; exploit economic opportunities primarily associated with the surrounding environment and heritage; and to discourage further growth of the settlement.

The developer recognises the sensitivities of the site and the need to conserve the natural environment as an asset to strengthen the social and economic environments. Therefore, prior to making any firm development or commencing any works, the developer acknowledged and agreed to undertake all required assessment and authorisation processes to determine the most appropriate form and spatial distribution of development.

Phased Development to the identified 5 areas

 Phase 1

  • Conference Facility (Area 2)

The venue will offer a comprehensive array of services to clients, playing host to national, international conferences, events and tradeshows.

  • Luxury Villas (Area 4)

The height of luxury and refined living, these opulent 3-and-4 bedroom villas will offer the most generous indoor and outdoor living areas, giving potential buyers, short-term tenants a true sense of space, freedom and privacy while stimulating the Garden Route economy by creating jobs.

  • Roads and Infrastructure
  • Access Roads to the resort
  • The civil works and electrical
  • Fencing and security

Phase 2

  •  Hotel, Spa, Shops and Restaurants (Area 2)
  • Garage, small shopping centre and take away (Area 1)

The Applicant will also be responsible for all the costs involved. The property is, in terms of the provisions of section 14 of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) not required for the purposes of providing minimum basic municipal services.

Any comments and/or objections to the proposed long-term lease, with your reasons for such objection(s), must be submitted in writing and addressed to the Municipal Manager, Garden Route District Municipality, P O Box 12, George, 6530, by no later than Friday, 06 November 2020.

Any comments and/or objections which are received after the abovementioned closing date, may possibly not be taken into consideration.

Media Release: Innovative Re-Imagine Garden Route WebiShop video and presentations now accessible online

For Immediate Release
2 September 2020

A first ever WebiShop was hosted by the Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) in collaboration with the South Cape Economic Partnership (SCEP) and Western Cape Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (WESGRO) on 12 August 2020. This WebiShop aimed to address several topics relevant to re-imagining the Garden Route in an innovative and creative way. It also provided a platform for representatives from various think tanks, based locally and internationally, to share how they do things differently in a streamlined way to enable a “next” normal. Presenters logged in from as far as the United Kingdom and Finland to share their ideas.

At the beginning of the WebiShop (attended by close to 100 people), Alderman Memory Booysen, Executive Mayor for GRDM, said: “I am in awe when looking at all the brainpower together today”.

“I would like to see all of us putting our ‘thinking caps’ on and come up with innovative ideas,” said Alderman Booysen.

The panel included representatives from the GRDM, SCEP, TOMA-Now, FreedThinkers, Vodacom, The Depository & Clearing Corporation (UK), African Crowd Funding Association, Moxworld (Finland), Brilliance in Business and the Institute for Future’s Research.

The following themes/topics were discussed on 12 August 2020:

  • The place to be – Garden Route as a first choice;
  • Keeping it tight – the Circular Economy Model, concepts and examples;
  • Design it right – service design for the ‘new normal’;
  • Get Smart – solutions for a SMART region;
  • Funding for impact – Crowd Funding as an alternative to conventional funding;
  • The next normal – alternative business models;
  • Time to hold onto customers – practical steps to keeping your customers and attracting new ones;
  • Where to from here – next steps and way forward; and
  • Scenario planning concepts.

The themes and topics discussed provided a perfect baseline from which to begin with a process of re-imagining the Garden Route. The next phase would be to initiate sector-specific workshops. “These will consist of journey-mapping exercises led by three focus sectors namely Tourism, Agriculture, and Construction,” said Mr Paul Hoffman, Project Manager for SCEP. He added that a variety of sector-specific workshops and webinars, training opportunities, sector expert advisors, and business mentors will visit the Garden Route virtually and physically over the next few months to assist individual businesses. “We need to rebuild our economy, and these interventions form part of the Garden Route Recovery Plan that is in progress,” said Hoffman.

Towards the end of the four-and-a-half hour WebiShop, Mr Monde Stratu (Municipal Manager) reflected on the contents of the programme. He also said: “It is clear that COVID-19 has shown us that one sector is not going to be successful without another.” Stratu also stated that government is interested in building partnerships with the private sector. Proof of this commitment is the platforms the GRDM created to attract investment to the Garden Route – including the Garden Route Investment Conference, Green Energy Summit, to name but a few.

“In a month or two we will launch our Growth and Development Strategy for the region. This strategy will help the region to see what needs to be done to change the economic trajectory of the district. Coupled with this, the GRDM is finalising an investment prospectus. “We are trying to show people outside and inside our region what opportunities are available in the district, and that we are open for business,” said Stratu.
