AFRICAN CAPITAL CITIES The opportunities to address the sustainability imperative arising from the current and numerous challenges facing African cities are tremendous. Exploring these is the main objective of the African Capital Cities Sustainability Forum. Supported by appropriate policies, design ingenuity, innovation, technical proficiency, robust implementation mechanisms and adequate infrastructural investments, African cities can reach high levels of quality of urban life, improving drastically their environmental footprints while reaching highly competitive economic prosperity in the medium to long term. Ensuring that the most rapidly developing cities in the world develop sustainably is arguably the most important objective on the planet. Ending the negative spiral of poverty and dependence will be the reward for bold actions now!

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SEMINAR The fields of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy are converging fast through onsite energy solutions and new clean energy grid offerings, into a pursuit for energy security!

The REIPPP project is underway with billions being invested, and the promise of much more through the recent expansion of this project both in terms of technologies under consideration, and the amount of energy to be procured.

The advent of ‘wheeling’ energy from one point to another via the grid however, brings onto the table the reality of broad based privatising of energy generation. What a prospect! Add in the possibilities opening up for gas generation, both at the utility and on site scale and the prospect of reducing national GHG emissions is beginning to look highly possible, if not probable.

The holy grail for end users however remains grid autonomy however, and we bring through key experts and project implementers to discuss strategies to achieve this through a combination of efficiency and on site generation.

FOOD SECURITY SEMINAR Producing food for the nation and mitigating climate change are interrelated because climate change affects crop resilience and land productivity. Government has a key role to play in establishing policies that will translate into guidelines for land use in order to set in process practises that will reduce green house gas emissions yet enable food production to feed a growing nation. Business and NGO’s are each working in turn to create opportunities for small scale farmers and organic food production that enable communities to become more food secure and create job opportunities for the most economically marginalised. What more can be done and what can we learn from processes already in place and their successes? How does biodiversity preservation act as an enabler in better agricultural methods and a driver for business to take an active role in this core issue for South Africa? It’s a multi-faceted conversation that has - at its centre- the health and well being of a nation and we all have a role to play in the products we choose and the food we eat.

Join us as we discuss the policies in place and hear from business leaders, small scale organic farmers, permaculturalists and scientists who interrogate what food security actually is and how we achieve it.

VISION ZERO WASTE SEMINAR As the cost of natural resources and their availability become more compromised due to climate change and natural scarcity the potential to unlock what is left over in ‘waste’ products is becoming an economic and social prerogative, not only for the resources that can be re-used but also for the potential to create employment within the waste economy. The other consideration driving adaptation is the natural capital that has remained external to balance sheets will now be a factor affecting the considerations of business and government procurement departments. Waste and the environmental impact of recycling and upcycling offers a very different perspective on the true cost of a product and the impact its life-cycle has.

Ideally we would be operating within an environment that supports a circular economy where nothing is wasted and everyone gets access to the resources they need. There are many players in the waste economy and innovators looking for solutions within various sectors that will offer insight into developing a new approach to the problem of waste and how to turn it into economic and social opportunities. Designing for a no waste future - How do we get there?

Join us as we grapple with the topics and discover a way forward.

SUSTAINABLE WATER SEMINAR Climate variability and change are a major risk to one of the most vulnerable continents on the planet – Africa (Boko, et al., 2007; UN Habitat, 2014). This vulnerability is compounded by existing challenges such as limited access to capital, environmental degradation, endemic poverty and complex governance. All of this has contributed to a low level of Africa’s capacity to adapt to climate change (Boko, et al., 2007).

Furthermore, Africa’s water availability, accessibility and demand will become even more scarce due to climate change.

Two key strategies in guarding against absolute scarcity are demand- and supply-side management. Water efficiency remains the key to the sustainability of our water resource on the demand side. On the supply-side, it is imperative that issues such as pollution, land-use management, groundwater management, ecological infrastructure and acid mine drainage management are considered amongst other strategies.

Leading experts and proponents present the latest technologies and best practice in regard to these considerations.

South Africa is rich in natural resources. However, water is not one of them.

The country has an average rainfall of 490 mm per year – well below the world average of 860 mm per year.

South Africa is ranked the 30th driest country in the world. Four of its main rivers are shared with neighbouring countries. These include the Limpopo, Inkomati, Pongola, Usuthu (Maputo) and Orange (Sengu) rivers which are shared with Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana and Lesotho. Together, these rivers drain about 60% of the country’s land area and contribute to about 40% of its total river flow.

The new South African National Water Act (No. 36 of 1998) enables people to partake in the management of the water resource. Devolving the management of the resource to the local/catchment level is led by the new Water Resource Management Institutions to be established under the NWA (No. 36 of 1998). These new institutions are called Catchment Management Agencies (CMAs). The Inkomati Catchment Management Agency (ICMA) is the first to be established in the country (established under Government Notice No.397 of 26 March 2004).

Patience Nyakane-Maluka, Chairperson of the Governing Board of the Inkomati Catchment Management Agency (ICMA), has indicated that the ICMA is the first of the 19 CMAs established by the then Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry. After the establishment of the ICMA the process of Institutional Re-alignment and Reform (IRR) project reduced the number of CMAs from 19 to 9, resulting in the Inkomati Catchment Management Area’s amalgamation (still under way) with the Usuthu Catchment in the Piet Retief area. As soon as the amalgamation is concluded, the Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs will appoint a new Governing Board for the Inkomati-Usuthu Catchment Management Agency which will take into account the larger catchment area. The chairperson of the Governing Board reports to the Minister and also to Parliament, while accounting to its stakeholders. The current Board is made

up of representatives of water users. It is anticipated that the future Board will be skills based while also taking into account the water users groupings.

The ICMA, with its head office in Nelspruit, is the official Catchment Management Agency for the larger part of the Mpumalanga Province. The organisation is responsible for the protection, conservation, development and management of the water resources in the Inkomati Water Management Area (IWMA) (or simply at Catchment level). The main rivers in the IWMA are Komati River, Crocodile River, Sabie River and Sand River.

As the first of the Catchment Management Agencies to be established by the South African government, the organisation has become a pioneer for all other agencies to follow. The ICMA has several key functions, which include preserving water resources and ensuring that its quality is maintained. This is carried out by teams of trained personnel who conduct random river monitoring.

Another priority of the ICMA, is making sure that the communities and water users are aware of the seriousness of water scarcity. This includes, but is not limited to, encouraging people not to waste this precious resource, educating people on how to save water, for example only using what is needed and closing taps that are leaking.

The ICMA draws its mandate from the National Water Act (No. 36 of 1998) that requires water to be equally distributed to all as a human right. However, we need to acknowledge that water service intuitions also come into play to deliver potable water to communities, to complete the water value chain.

As part of its awareness campaigns, the ICMA adopted the Department of Water Affairs’ Adopt-a-River campaign to involve and educate local communities on taking care of water.

The ICMA developed its first Catchment Management Strategy (CMS) in consultation with its stakeholders. Nyakane-Maluka says that the ICMA is a public entity that

welcomes feedback from communities. This is why public participation, as one of the strategic objectives of the National Water Act, is very important for the organisation. It allows the ICMA to make the public aware of what is happening within the organisation. Apart from water users, the ICMA also has special working relations with the Mpumalanga House of Traditional Leaders, the Provincial Department of Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Department of Agriculture, the Department of Education to mention but a few. “It is about having ordinary people participate in the management of our water resources, that makes the whole organisation so special,” says Nyakane-Maluka.

The Catchment Management Strategy sets out principles that guide the operations of the ICMA as well as other relevant planning institutions within the Inkomati WMA. It allows the ICMA to see exactly how they will achieve catchment water use that is sustainable, equitable and efficient, while looking at all matters relevant to the production, use, development, conservation, management and control of water resources.

“In anything that you do, you need a plan.

The CMS lays out the core of the entire business and gives us the mission to achieve our vision”, says Nyakane-Maluka.

She urges South Africans and Africans in general to take care of our water resources as these resources will limit the development of our continent.
