1. Introduction The City of Johannesburg’s Environment and Infrastructure Service Department (EISD) is responsible for policy development, regulatory, monitoring, project implementation and service delivery. EISD is designed to position the city to develop sustainably based on the following key principles: •
•
Environmental sustainability in the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) has to advance development at a socio-economic level to alleviate poverty and at a macro-economic level, to promote investment in the city. This philosophy is premised on the developmental role of local government as enshrined in the Municipal Systems Act (MSA) Environmental sustainability will be incorporated in the day to day running or operations of the City. All Council entities will conduct their activities to advance the developmental
•
role of environmental management, and limit the impact of their activities on the environment. The goal for environmental sustainability is to reduce the carbon footprint of the City through compact, integrated spatial development patterns supporting resource efficiency.
CoJ, EISD is seeking to appoint a panel of pre-qualified service providers with demonstrated capability or experience in a range of technical disciplines, to provide services to the Department to assist in undertaking different projects. The panel of consultants will be requested to submit proposals for services and carry out engagements from time to time against specific project briefs issued by the Department. The services being sought from the consultant will be set out in detail in the terms of reference for specific projects. The briefs may require service
providers to specify a fixed lump sum fee for service or an hourly rate, depending on the nature and complexity of the project involved. The extent of work allocated to each panel member depends largely on prevailing workloads and the nominated areas of interest and expertise. In ensuring that the CoJ support resource sustainability by implementing the core principles of its Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) 2040 and recently adopted Mayoral priorities which include Active Engaged Citizen, the EISD will be rolling out an integrated Education and Awareness programmes in which environmental education is identified as both a strategy, and a tool. The City has invested most of its resources on implementing programmes that are aimed at alleviating poverty while improving environmental and socio-economic matrix of poor communities.

3. Environmental Awareness and Education With the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) currently implementing the Growth Development Strategy taking it to 2040. It is a strategy that not only provides vision of the future but importantly defines clear outcomes against which to measure progress. This strategy also recognizes the importance of aligning the natural environment, society and economy in order to achieve a sustainable, livable and a resilient City. In ensuring that the CoJ support resource sustainability in implementing that core principals of its Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) 2040 and recently adopt-
ed Mayoral priorities which include Active Engaged Citizens. Like most cities, Johannesburg has experienced rapid development of all spheres of the economics and human activity in South Africa, leading to an increasingly negative impact on the environment, including the inefficient usage of natural resources. This has led to the City investing most of its resources on implementing programmes that are aimed at alleviating poverty while improving the environmental and socio-economic matrix of poor communities.
3.1 Youth Participation in Environmental issues One of the crucial outcomes of the GDE 2040 is to address youth unemployment and environmental degradation. Just like in order cities, high unemployment levels are a challenge in the City of Johannesburg. This influences poverty trends hence food insecurity. There is a need for a shift to viewing youth as assets for development, economic growth, and community development of the City. The City views the youth as an integral part of the solution to unemployment, poverty eradication and environment degradation. The City of Johannesburg has completed the development of an Environmental Education Awareness (EEA) Strategy which aims to integrate the principles of sustainable development into the CoJ’s policies and programmes across all levels.
to further increase the capacity of CoJ staff and citizens to address environment and development issues.

Enviromental Awareness and Education Methodology and Approach
This is a holistic process that is participatory with an experiential component for the intended beneficiaries. The process makes it easy and possible for the City of Johannesburg and the stakeholder to learn and understand the importance of environment. It is a consultative, analytical and strategic approach of decision-making on issues relating to the environment and climate change. It supports the integrated Development Planning (IDP) process at school, community, business and indicatory level. It is one of the key tools for local Government to cope with its developmental role. As we all know that municipalities are required to develop integrated development plans in terms of the municipal systems Act 32 of 2000 (chapter 5 Section 24). The development of IDP’s is a legislative requirement, which accords the IDP, a legal status that supersedes all other plans and guide development at local government level. This method in line with CoJ environmental education and awareness, which is informed by the city’s integrated development Plan (IDP) (2010/2011) highlighting key objectives regarding Environmental Education Awareness. The following policies and legal frameworks also inform this method: • 2040 Growth and Development Strategy, o Eradicating poverty o Ensuring resource security and environmental sustainability • Agenda 21, 1992
•
National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 • Section 24 of the constitution Act 108 of 1996 • CoJ Energy and Climate Change Strategy, • CoJ Biodiversity Strategy and action plan 2015, • CoJ Integrated waste management guide for events, • CoJ integrated Environmental policy, • Guidelines for the implementation of the green Procurement policy of the CoJ, • Air quality management plan for the CoJ. • Millennium Development Goals • National Skills Development Act ,1998 (Act No.97 of 1998) • Occupational Health and Safety Amended Act 181 of 1993 The environmental sector is an important engine of South Africa’s economy. Turnover in just water services is estimated to be in the region of R30 billion per annum or more. Inefficiencies in the water sector will have a negative and significant impact on other economic processes. Services and the use of the natural resources must be sustainable to ensure that we continue to make progress, and to ensure that future generations benefit from this progress. Over time, the relationship between social justice and environmental sustainability became clearer, as did the relatedness between sustainable development and care

for natural resources; incorporated into our Constitution, that also link environmental issues to human rights and social justice. (Giving recognition to citizens` right to an environment that is not detrimental to their health or well-being--Act 108, 1996) The Constitution signaled a national commitment to environmental action. Various government sectors responded with policies to protect the South African environment and thus the health of its citizens and future economic development. Among these were the following: • The National Environmental Management Act (DEAT, 1998), which aims to improve environmental management through a sustainable development framework for the country. • The White Paper on Education and Training (1995: 18), articulated the need for environmental education processes” involving an inter-disciplinary, integrated and active approach to learning. Hence, Environmental policies in South Africa emphasize the need for environmental learning and capacity building in all walks of life. The various government policies endorsed that environmental education need to be incorporated as part of awareness, education and training at all levels and in all sectors. Whilst the emphasis during the past years was mainly on delivery of services, it is now timely to place greater emphasis on knowledge, education and sustainability.

4. Waste Management Specialist Services (in respect of solid & hazardous waste) The city generates over 1.6 million tons of waste annually and all the waste generated goes to the city’s landfill sites. The city is currently operating four landfill sites where three of them are almost reaching its capacity and are left with less than 10 years disposal air space. The space is where national legislative frameworks also encourage waste avoidance, reduction and recycling in order to minimize waste going to landfill sites. To respond to the national legislative requirement the city’s has developed an integrated waste management policy and plan with the goals to implement sustainable waste minimization, reuse, recycling and recovery programmes through strategic interventions including the promotion of compositing, waste separation at source programmes. Those programmes should contribute towards the upliftment of the quality of the life of the people within the city by ensuring them a clean environment and by identifying, promoting and supporting potential job opportunities within the sector. The city has a five year objective to minimize waste that is disposed to landfill sites by 20% and to create 4000 job opportu-
nities (0.1% of the population in the city) through waste minimization, recycling and reuse. The above can be achieved through:a Analysis & review of waste policies b Research to develop or improve waste policies c Waste policy development, monitoring & evaluation d Waste planning (physical & spatial); waste characterization e Waste bylaw planning, development, & drafting f Waste licensing, & permitting g Waste information systems – design, development, & maintenance h Software design, development, support, & maintenance i Implementation of waste mitigation programs – avoidance, minimization (recycling-reuse-recovery) j Supply of protective clothing To achieve the goal and objectives set, the Environmental and Infrastructure Services Department (EISD) recognize the role played by waste reclaimers in waste minimization and reducing municipal expenses by collecting waste that would have other-

wise been transported and disposed with public funds. The department took the decision to empower the waste reclaimers through various interventions. The objective to empower the waste reclaimers is:• To develop waste management entrepreneurs. • To promote community participation to city’s waste management programmes. • To minimize the exposure of waste reclaimers to health and other hazards during their operation. • To improve their working condition and efficient, so that they recover as much waste as possible. • To educate the public about the important role that is played by waste reclaimers in waste management. Empowering waste reclaimers would assist the city in meeting its legislative obligations and it would create sustainable jobs through their active participation in the mainstream waste management.

Waste Management Specialist Services (Office Waste)
The City of Johannesburg, Waste Management Division is in a process of inculcating the waste minimization and recycling approach to its immediate communities and any waste generating institution within their area of jurisdiction. This is mainly endorsed to decrease the carbon footprint of the municipality and to increase the lifespan of the existing landfill sites. In view of this, the municipality has partnered with the department to enhance their cause of waste recycling as it will also extend an arm to the immediate community members in the form of job creation and skills transfer. The Metro is responsible for collection of all waste within its area of jurisdiction.
This includes all buildings owned and managed by CoJ and hence the decision to engage community members to ensure reduction of waste taken to the landfill site. The proposed project would ensure linkages between waste collection and management initiatives especially those managed by the Waste Management Division where feasible. Currently the CoJ has entrusted its agency Pik-it-Up for the collection of waste within its area of jurisdiction, the bulk of which is deposited to the local landfill sites, with no direct benefits to the community or local SMMEs. In line with the Expanded Public Works principles of Batho Pele and
creation of jobs, empowerment of women and youth, there has to be a change in the implementation model of the waste collection system within the City. The engagement of local Cooperatives and SMMEs, the job creation for women and youth can ensure that the CoJ implements its own principles of Bonthle Ke Botho. The proposed Model as indicated in the sections below clearly outlines how the City can ensure that waste collection in all their buildings plays a key role in adhering to the requirements of any EPWP project. The project will also assist the Council with the provision of a waste collection service where they are unable to provide a reliable and efficient service.

COJ to alleviate environmental challenges through the eco-guides phase three project
In order for the chosen Eco-Guides to be instilled with the skills that they require to educate their communities, the group attended a two week intense training camp at the Suikersbosrand. “We aim that by the time you return from the training, you are well equipped to change your communities in a positive way,” said Kopedi Pilane, from the City of Johannesburg. Mothlapi said the focus of the five month programme will be according to environmental themes like Wetlands Day Celebration, Water Week Awareness, Water and Biodiversity, Energy and Climate Change, Youth and Environment and Green living Promotion. In addressing the themes schools, households, shopping malls and

“In its efforts to implement the Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) and taking it to 2040, the strategy not only provides a vision for the future, but importantly defines clear outcomes. These outcomes ensure that the CoJ support resource sustainability by implementing the core principal of GDS 2040 and recently adopted Mayoral priorities, which include Active Engaged Citizens. In order to roll out a program where environmental education is identified as a strategy and a tool, the EISD has started an integrated education awareness programme, the Eco-Guides Phase 3 programme,” said Itumeleng Percy Mothlapi, from Green Borders, the service provider who will be facilitating the programme. Mothlapi welcomed different NGO’s from different parts of the City who will be involved in providing environmental educational awareness to their communities for the next five months.

other facilities will be targeted. He urged everyone to participate as this is a good initiative by the CoJ. Suikersbosrand Camp: An intense training camp where all NGO’s that were involved and trained in Seta accredited programmes where they were, introduced to basic environmental management. Each NGO that is involved in the programme was taught and given the tools to go back to their communities and embark on environmental educational activities for the duration of the project. Dorothy Nyembe Educational Centre: After the two week intense camp, everyone converged at the Dorothy Nyembe Educational Centre in Mofolo Soweto, to discuss the way forward. Members from the CoJ where there to give presentations on what Eco-Guides within NGO’s are expected to do now that they have received training about the programme. The meeting was also about outlining the terms of implementation of the work plan. It was an engagement session with the NGO’s that assisted them to do proper and direct planning of programmes and activities, taking into account current engagements and planned programmes by EISD. NGOs presented their plans to the service provider Green Borders and CoJ and only presented plans for the next three months.
change. The second one was Bontle ke Botho (BKB) programme. Both presentations were able to outline the city’s progress in terms of implementation, targets, challenges and plans. The proposed assistance needed from the NGOs, timeframes in various activities within the programmes. The third presentation from the city was on outlining the roles of EISD, their planned (2015/16) and current (2014/15) programmes. The planned programmes in this regard are mainly on environmental education and training, environmental awareness, environmental events and environmental marketing and profiling.
Annually South Africa and different countries in the world celebrate Wetlands Day on the 17th of February, a month set aside to continuously strive to not only bring awareness but to also bring change towards the conservation of the Wetlands. After the rigorous training that Eco-Guides received at the camp, Ukhamba, an NGO in Soweto, heeded the call and with the help of the CoJ, City Parks, Johannesburg Zoo and other stakeholders hosted Wetlands Day celebrations at the Thokoza Park in Soweto. Residents living near the park and Eco-Guides embarked on a stuff task to clean the wetland situated at the park.
The session proceeded into a part three which clear details were given on what is expected from the Eco-guides /NGOs going forward. The following amongst others were discussed; Submission of plans, submission of attendance registers, submission of reports.
Numerous stalls were erected for school learners from thirty different schools from as far as Orange Farm who were in attendance. Learners were educated on the different kinds of wetlands, their functions and how to preserve them. “As there is a dire need to preserve our wetlands , celebrating the day was imperative for awareness creation. “There are a lot of wetlands in Soweto, however because residents don’t know their importance, they just use them as dumping sites. “Swamplands have many benefits and can help with flooding, however the more we litter , the more we negatively affect plants and animals that depend on them,” said Sinah Magolo,
CoJ then made a few presentations around their current and planned programmes which they envisage and want the NGOs to assist in implementing and rolling out. The first presentation was the School Climate proofing programme where Eco- Guides/NGO’s were taught about the aim of the project which is to create a City that is resilient to climate

What is a wetland? An area covered with a shallow layer of water (temporarly or permanently) and has distinct plants that are adapted to water saturated soils like marshes, swampsand vleis. They are beneficial to both organisms on land and on water. Wetlands are important for many reasons, primarily they purify and store water and provide a habitat for a lot of organisms. They provide wind forces and work towards beautifying many recreational facilities. Anthropogenic activities have changed the function and quality of wetlands resulting in the loss of different species, increase in flood events and other factors including a rapid decline on water quality because of the pollution in river streams.
What can we do? It is important that communities get involved in initiatives that are in place to conserve our wetland. Residents need to be proactive in finding out more on how to protect wetlands and therefore transferring their knowledge to their children.
materials,” said Sphiwe Msebe, a trained eco-guide from Ukhamba. He said their days are spent between moving from food garden to food garden making sure that they maintain them properly. Msebe said he is excited about being an eco-guide as this means they get to help their community. Food Gardens With the sole purpose of an eco-guide being to uphold the principals of environmental management within their communities, eco-guides in Orange Farm and Soweto, help their communities with creating and maintaining food gardens. “In order to implement sustainable use of natural resources, we felt the need to create a food garden that will contribute to help supply food to our community,” said Nomsa Sibaya, a project manager at the Sizanani Community Centre in Orange Farm. Sibaya said adapting to climate change conditions and create environmental awareness amongst the community has played a huge rule in their NGO, as this ensures that every Thursday all the eco-guides at their NGO, tend to the garden that is playing an important role in feeding the community.
Effects of Wetland destruction: Long term effects not limited to loss of species diversity as a result of ecosystem collapse, habitat loss are as a result the continuous destruction of wetlands. If this continues, plants and animals will be forced to emigrate or die as the area would be unfavourable for their survival.
”Numerous stalls were erected for school learners from thirty different schools from as far as Orange Farm who were in attendance.”
