Drakensberg Pumped Storage Scheme

The Drakensberg Pumped Storage Scheme is an energy storage facility built in the South African provinces of Free State and KwaZulu-Natal starting in 1974 and completed by 1981. Four dams are involved in the scheme; the Driekloof Dam (joined to the Sterkfontein Dam), the Kilburn Dam, the Woodstock Dam and the Driel Barrage. Electricity generation equipment is located between Driekloof Dam and Kilburn Dam. Since the Driekloof Dam/Sterkfontein Dam also forms part of the Tugela-Vaal Water Project some of the water pumped to Driekloof Dam might end up flowing to the Vaal Dam and not be available for return to the Kilburn Dam. The Woodstock Dam and Driel Barrage are used to supply this additional water to Kilburn Dam when required. The scheme provides for up to 27.6 gigawatt-hours (99 TJ) of electricity storage in the form of 27,000,000 cubic metres (950,000,000 cu ft) of water. The water is pumped to Driekloof during times of low national power consumption (generally over weekends) and released back into Kilburn through four 250 megawatts (340,000 hp) turbine generators in times of high electricity demand.

Durban Girls' High School

Durban Girls' High School (known to the students of the school as DGHS) is a public high school for girls located in Glenwood, a suburb of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It was founded in 1882 and is home to over 1200 students. Nose-stud controversy In 2005 there was controversy around a Durban Girls' High student, Sunali Pillay, and her decision to get a nose piercing over the school holidays. The pupil was of Tamil (South Asian) descent, commonly known as part of the Indian South Africa population group in South Africa, and had her nose pierced as part of her religious and cultural beliefs. The school's governing body objected to Pillay's nose-stud, stating it went against school dress code. Navaneethum Pillay, Sunali's mother, argued that her daughter should wear her nose piercing as South Africa's Constitution protects religious freedom and diversity in schools. The Pillays eventually won the court case against the school, with Chief Justice Pius Langa declaring in 2007 that: “Preventing her from wearing it [nose stud] for several hours of each school day would undermine the practice and therefore constitute a significant infringement of her religious and cultural identity. What is relevant is the symbolic effect of denying her the right to wear it for even a short period; it sends a message that Sunali, her religion and her culture are not welcome.” Notable alumnae Tikvah Alper, radiobiologist Amy Jacot Guillarmod, botanist and limnologist Sally-Ann Murray, author Fanele Ntuli, actress Mishqah Parthiephal, actress Penelope Coelen, Miss South Africa 1958 and Miss world 1958 Patricia Geary (née Hollows), Durban City Councillor 1962 - 1976.

Durbanville Nature Reserve

Durbanville Nature Reserve is a 6-hectare (15-acre) piece of protected land, located next to the Hollywoodbets Durbanville Racecourse in the Western Cape, South Africa. Biodiversity This small nature reserve is located on the border between two critically endangered vegetation types: Swartland Shale Renosterveld and Cape Flats Sand Fynbos. It was proclaimed in 1966 after Aristea lugens, a rare species of plant, was discovered here. The invasive alien vegetation was then cleared and the indigenous landscape was restored. The park is now home to around 241 species of plant - three of which exist only in Cape Town and ten of which are threatened with extinction. It is also a natural habitat for wild animals such as the angulate tortoise, the small grey mongoose and the endangered Cape rain frog. Amphibians Three species of amphibian have been found in the reserve, Cape sand frog, the vulnerable Cape rain frog, and the Clicking stream frog. Birds There are 104 species of birds found within the reserve; of which 3 are endemic to the fynbos: Cape sugarbird, Cape canary and the Orange- breasted sunbird. Reptiles Eight species of reptile occur within the reserve; 5 species of snake, 1 lizard and 2 tortoise species. The Cape dwarf chameleon is the one species of lizard. Snakes found are: Aurora house snake Common egg-eater Mole snake Red lipped snake Tortoises are the angulate tortoise, and the introduced leopard tortoise.

Dwesa Nature Reserve

Dwesa-Cwebe Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa that is managed by Eastern Cape Parks & Tourism Agency. The park has an area of 5,450 hectares (13,500 acres). The Dwesa-Cwebe Marine Protected Area, that has been added to the park has an area of 19,293 hectares (47,670 acres). On one side, the reserve is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, and on the other by the rugged pastures of the former Transkei. About 290 species of birds have been recorded in the park. From the top of Kobole Point, there are magnificent views across the ocean. History The Dwesa-Cwebe Nature Reserve was originally land owned by local farmers. Currently, debates in South African politics over land ownership and environmental sustainability are shaping who gets to control the land. The nature reserve was initially conceived to protect one of the last known coastal forests in South Africa, and also because farming practices were believed to be destroying the local ecosystem.

Eastgate Shopping Centre, Johannesburg

Eastgate Shopping Centre is a super-regional shopping centre in Bedfordview, near Bedford Gardens and the Johannesburg city centre in Gauteng. It remains one of the largest centres in the country and is the fourth largest shopping centre in Gauteng, after Mall of Africa, Sandton City and Menlyn Park. The centre lies next to the R24 airport freeway, between the Johannesburg CBD to the west and O. R. Tambo International Airport to the east. History Eastgate was Johannesburg's first 'super-regional' shopping centre. The decision to build Eastgate was taken in 1974 by Rapp & Maister. It was to be built on an 18 ha site with 5 ha inside the Johannesburg municipality while the other 13 ha was in Bedfordview. It was planned to be opened in 1978 and would have 90,000sqm of retail space with major tenants being OK Bazaars, Edgars, Woolworths, Greatermans and John Orrs. There would be another 180 smaller stores, four cinemas and 5,000 parking bays. When it opened in 1979, it was the largest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere. Further upgrades A R 300,000,000 expansion was completed in 2010, which brings Eastgate to over 121,000 m2 (1,300,000 sq ft). A few years later, the centre underwent another major redevelopment by Liberty Life to modernise both the retail and office components, which was completed in 2017. To this day, it is managed by Liberty Properties on behalf of the parent company, Liberty Holdings Limited. The centre is currently over 145,000 m2 (1,560,000 sq ft). Eastgate Shopping Centre is frequented by over 80,000 shoppers on Saturdays and over 2 million shoppers during an average month. The shopping centre offers Bureau de change facilities. Major retailers include one of the most successful Woolworths in South Africa and a recently refurbished cinema complex. The centre has over 250 stores, which include more than 60 fashion boutiques and 13 jewellers. Unusual for a single complex, the building straddled the municipal boundaries of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. However, in 2013, the boundary was adjusted by the Municipal Demarcation Board to move Eastgate fully into Ekurhuleni. Notes External links Official site

Edith Stephens Wetland Park

Edith Stephens Wetland Park is a nature reserve for wetlands and fynbos, located in the city of Cape Town, South Africa. The park consists of a large seasonal wetland, with surrounding stretches of Cape Flats Sand Fynbos and Cape Flats Dune Strandveld vegetation. Seven Red Data plant species have been recorded here as well as nearly a hundred species of bird, several amphibians (including a population of endangered Western Leopard Toad), reptiles and mammals. The 39-hectare (96-acre) park was originally built around a smaller piece of land that was donated by the botanist Edith Layard Stephens. She intended it to preserve the rare Isoetes capensis plant, which exists nowhere else on Earth. After subsequent additions to take it to its present size, the resulting park was named after her. The park is run by the City of Cape Town in partnership with the local community. It now has an Environmental Education Centre, boardwalk trails, a picnic area, a bird hide and a garden of medicinal plants.

Università del Witwatersrand

L'Università del Witwatersrand a Johannesburg è un'università pubblica sudafricana multi-campus che si trova nella parte settentrionale del centro di Johannesburg. È più comunemente nota come Wits University o Wits. Essa ha le sue radici nell'industria mineraria, come la città e il Witwatersrand in generale. Storia Fu fondata nel 1896 come South African School of Mines (1896–1904) a Kimberley, quindi divenne Transvaal Technical Institute (1904–1906), poi Transvaal University College (1906–1910), quindi South African School of Mines and Technology (1910–1920), infine University College, Johannesburg (1920–1922). Oggi è la terza università operante con continuità per anzianità di fondazione del Sudafrica, dopo l'Università di Città del Capo (fondata nel 1829), e quella di Stellenbosch (fondata nel 1866) Nel 1959, la legge Extension of University Education Act vietò l'iscrizione agli studenti di colore per gran parte del periodo dell'apartheid; ciò nonostante molti importanti leader di colore vi si laurearono. Nel 1990, prima dell'abolizione dell'apartheid, gli studenti di colore vi furono nuovamente ammessi. Molti dei critici più accaniti contro l'apartheid, di discendenza europea o africana, furono un tempo studenti e poi laureati in questa università. Nel 2015 l'università contava 33 711 iscritti, dei quali circa il 18% vivevano nei 22 residence del campus universitario. Il 65% degli iscritti totali riguarda gli studi del baccalaureato e il rimanente il livello successivo. L'Università è composta di cinque facoltà: economia e diritto; ingegneria e architettura; scienze; scienze sanitarie; scienze umanistiche.
