Uitkamp Wetlands

Uitkamp Wetland Nature Reserve is a 32-hectare (79-acre) wetland reserve located in Durbanville in the Western Cape province of South Africa . A wetland valley that was proclaimed a nature reserve in 2001, this park lies within a region of Swartland Shale Renosterveld. Biodiversity The reserve consists of five disjointed areas separated by roadways. It protects over 279 species of plants, of which 30 are threatened and many are very rare. More common pink watsonia and arum lily cover the wetland in the spring, along with restios, orchids, sundews and other colourful flowers. A major threat to the wetlands is from the invasive alien plants Port Jackson (Acacia saligna) and Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum); 15 invasive plant species have been recorded. Vegetation The most abundant aquatic plant species are Typha capensis (which is an indigenous invader in this environment) and Juncus effusus. Mammals Animals found within the confines of the reserve are mostly smaller and nocturnal. Bucks found are the Common duiker, Steenbok and Cape grysbok. Large grey mongoose is the top predator within the reserve. Caracal and the Cape fox are thought to visit occasionally. Other mammals include: Bat-eared fox Cape grey mongoose Yellow mongoose Marsh mongoose Cape porcupine Striped field mouse African pygmy mouse Forest shrew Birds There are 67 species of birds found within the reserve. Reptiles There are 13 species of reptile found within the reserve; 4 lizard, 6 snake, and 3 tortoise species. The most common lizard species is the Ocellated gecko. Some of the snake species are: Common slug eater Mole snake Red-lipped / Herald snake Tortoises include the Marsh terrapin and the Parrot-beaked tortoise. Amphibians One species of amphibian has been found in the reserve, the Clicking stream frog. Invertebrates The Cape autumn widow is found here.

Nchwaning mine

The N'chwaning mine (or N'Chwaning mines) are located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. N'chwaning has one of the largest manganese reserves in South Africa having estimated reserves of 323.2 million tonnes of manganese ore grading 42.5% manganese. There are three shafts, designated as N'Chwaning, N'Chwaning II and N'Chwaning III. The majority of the major mineral finds documented originate from the N'Chwaning II shaft. N'Chwaning is considered a single vertical hoist shaft. N'Chwaning II is a vertical skip shaft, currently still in production with an underground crushing facility. N'Chwaning III has two main shafts – a vertical personnel shaft and a decline shaft. N'Chwaning III additionally has seven underground silos for storing different grades of ore. N'Chwaning is known to produce high-quality mineral specimens of rhodochrosite, manganite, ettringite, inesite, jouravskite and other minerals. The N'Chwaning mine is located on the farm N'Chwaning 267, from which the name is derived. The license area also includes what was formerly known as the Black Rock mine area, and is situated in the manganese ores of the Kalahari Manganese Fields. History The ore body was discovered in 1940 by Assmang, and led to the acquisition of a manganese outcrop. The properties on which the ore is situated were subsequently acquired by Assmang, and led to the 1975 commissioning of the Gloria mine (medium grade carbonated ore) as well as the later commissioning in 1972, 1981 and 2004 respectively of the N'Chwaning I, I and III shafts. Geology The N'Chwaning mines are situated in the Kalahari Manganese Fields, with the primary ore hosted in the Hotazel Formation of the Griqualand West Sequence, forming part of the Proterozoic Transvaal Supergroup. The ore body shows extreme faulting and hydrothermal upgrading, responsible for the formation of a large majority of the mineral species described from the Kalahari Manganese Fields. Zoning exists within the ore body both in the vertical and horizontal sense, where horizontal zoning is fault related and shows high grade hausmannite ore, intermediate areas show a very complex mineral assemblage (including braunite and jacobsite), while distal areas have a lower grade ore consisting predominantly of braunite and kutnohorite. Vertical zoning in the orebody is shown by high iron and low manganese concentrations at the contacts, with an increase in manganese grade towards the centre of the body. Two seams are mined – the No.1 seam is on average 6 metres thick, with a depth of 400 metres at the N'Chwaning mine and a depth of 200 metres at the Gloria mine. The No.2 seam is stratigraphically placed above the No.1 seam, with ongoing mining using the N'Chwaning II infrastructure. See also Wessels mine Gloria mine Mamatwan mine References

Mogalakwena mine

The Mogalakwena mine is a large open pit mine located in the north-western part of South Africa in Mokopane, Limpopo. Mogalakwena represents one of the largest platinum reserves in South Africa having estimated reserves of 264.9 million oz of platinum. The mine produces around 310,000 oz of platinum/year. The mine is majority owned by Anglo American, and has been the subject of conflict between the company and the local Mapela and Langa communities. In 2007, over 100 local people filed legal proceedings against a subsidiary of Anglo, alleging that the company had forcibly relocated communities, coerced people into signing agreements, and then failed to honor those agreements. The case was unsuccessful. In 2008 the South African Human Rights Commission investigated the impact of Anglo's mining activity at Moglakwena and reported that the company had failed to give local communities access to water, sanitation and electricity after relocating them. The Commission reported that local communities had also been impacted by air and water pollution from the mine, loss of food and agricultural security, and the removal of graves; and that Anglo had failed to respond when the community raised concerns. In 2021, the mine began a project of using solar panels to power a 3.5 MW hydrogen electrolyser to supply an 800 kW mining truck. References
Friedenskirche, Hillbrow

Friedenskirche eller Church of Peace ligger vid 30, Edith Cavell Street i Johannesburg, Sydafrika och inhyser Deutsch-Evangelische Gemeinde zu Johannesburg (tysk-evangeliska församlingen i Johannesburg). Historik Församlingen bildades 1888 efter att en minnesgudstjänst hade hållits den 20 mars av den lokala missionären Hermann Kuschke för Kaiser Vilhelm I i Tyska riket, som hade avlidit den 9 mars. Två år senare hade man byggt en liten kyrka på en plats som skänkts till församlingen av sydafrikanska republikens regering. Denna byggnad betjänade dem i tjugotvå år. Kyrkobyggnaden Nuvarande kyrka uppfördes 1912 och invigdes den 22 september samma år. Ritningarna var utförda av den schweiziskfödda arkitekten Theophile Schaerer. Byggnaden är utformad i nyromansk stil men innehåller element i andra klassiska stilar. Kyrkans höga klocktorn syns väl över Twist Street och är fortfarande ett landmärke trots att höga hus finns i närheten. Kyrkans fortsatta historia Friedenskirche har i många år varit ett centrum för det tyska kulturlivet. Med i och med att befolkningens sammansättning i Hillbrow började förändras på 1980-talet såg församlingen en nedgång bland tyskspråkiga medlemmar. Livliga engelska gudstjänster lockar ett växande antal svarta stadsbor, som kommer från hela Sydafrika och andra afrikanska länder. Församlingen har gjort ett medvetet beslut att vara en plats för fred och välbefinnande för alla människor i samhället. Församlingen har bestämt sig för att möta utmaningen att vara en innerstadskyrka och har lanserat ett uppdragsprojekt 1998, med inriktning mot de missgynnade boende i Hillbrow, särskilt barn och ungdomar.

Juma Mosque, Durban

The Juma Mosque of Durban (Arabic: جُـمُـعَـة مَـسْـجِـد, romanized: Jumu‘ah Masjid, lit. 'Mosque of the Congregation'), also known as the Grey Street Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque located in Durban, Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa. History and origin In August 1881, a site was bought by Aboobaker Amod Jhaveri and Hajee Mohamed in Grey Street (now known as Dr. Yusuf Dadoo Street) from K. Munsamy for £115 for the construction of a mosque. A tiny brick and mortar structure which stood on the site was converted into the mosque. In February 1884 Aboobaker's estate bought land next to the mosque to enable its further expansion. In 1889 Hajee Mahomed Dada, in his capacity as the only surviving trustee of the mosque purchased more adjoining land due to the swift rise in the number of worshipers. The first of the two minarets on the mosque was constructed in 1904. At the same time, two shops were built alongside the mosque providing an income for its maintenance. A second minaret was added to the mosque in 1905 and several rooms, toilets and shower facilities were also added at the rear of the mosque for travelers to use. Rooms were also built for the Mu‘adh-dhin (Arabic: جُـمُـعَـة مَـسْـجِـد, who calls worshipers to prayer). These minarets were at time two of the highest structures in the city of Durban. The mosque was rebuilt in 1927 following the design of the architects Payne & Payne. In 1943 William Bruce Barboure also contributed to the design of the building. The building is a unique blend of Islamic decorations and strong Union period vernacular style. The mosque is actually a series of interlinking buildings, arcades and corridors, in which commerce, religion and community exist in equilibrium. Further extensions and alterations were made to the mosque in 1943. Today the mosque building is a large plastered structure which features a mixture of various styles. A bridge extends from the neighbouring girls' school to the roof of the mosque. The flat roof, which is used for prayer during festivals is used as a playground during school days as the school is not equipped with one. The style of the mosque is essentially geometrical. The windows and inter-leading doors and the arched doorways all stress this geometrical design. It's gilt-domed minarets protrude above the bustling commercial area, but inside the marbled worship hall is peaceful and boasts a simple elegance. The mosque until the late 1970s enjoyed the status of being the largest mosque in the southern hemisphere.

Duggan-Cronin Gallery

Duggan-Cronin Gallery (Galerie Duggana-Cronina) je satelitem McGregorova muzea v Kimberley v Jižní Africe a uchovává ve svých sbírkách dědictví ve fotografiích a etnografických artefaktech fotografa a etnografa Alfreda Martina Duggan-Cronina. Historie Nachází se v bývalém obydlí známém jako The Lodge (Lóže). Budova byla postavena v roce 1889 podle návrhu architekta Sydney Stenta a byla rezidencí Johna Bladese Curreyho, manažera London & S. A. Exploration Co. Společnost De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd získala rozsáhlý majetek London & S. A. Exploration Co. v roce 1899, včetně The Lodge, který byl nadále využíván jako rezidence. Duggan-Cronin Na konci třicátých let dal De Beers budovu k dispozici Alfredu Dugganu-Croninovi, aby založil to, co (v té době postupně) dostalo název „Bantu Gallery“. Exponáty byly uspořádány podle kmenů v různých místnostech domu. Ty byly v 80. letech přeuspořádány, aby začlenily silněji historické vyprávění, zatímco soustředěnější práce na sbírkách Duggana-Cronina vedla na počátku 21. století k mnohem podstatnější rekonfiguraci zobrazení.

Duggan-Cronin Gallery

The Duggan-Cronin Gallery, which is a satellite of the McGregor Museum in Kimberley, South Africa, houses in part the legacy in photographs and ethnographic artefacts of the photographer Alfred Martin Duggan-Cronin. It occupies a former dwelling known as The Lodge. Built in 1889, to a design by the architect Sydney Stent, The Lodge was the residence of John Blades Currey, manager of the London & S.A. Exploration Co. De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd acquired the extensive property of the London & S.A. Exploration Co in 1899, including The Lodge, which continued to be used as a residence. Duggan-Cronin In the late 1930s De Beers made The Lodge available to A.M. Duggan-Cronin to establish what he called (progressively, at the time) the 'Bantu Gallery'. Exhibits were arranged by tribe in the various rooms of the house. These were re-arranged in the 1980s to incorporate a more strongly historical narrative, while more concerted work on the Duggan-Cronin collections resulted in a much more substantial display reconfiguration in the early 2000s.

John Vorster Tower

Der John Vorster Tower (früher: Telkom Lukasrand Tower) ist ein 198 Meter hoher Fernsehturm im südafrikanischen Pretoria und gleichzeitig höchstes Bauwerk der Stadt. Er ist nach dem ehemaligen Staatspräsidenten der Republik Südafrika, Balthazar Johannes Vorster, benannt. Beschreibung Architektur Der Turmschaft des John Vorster Tower besteht aus drei über mehrfache Streben verbundenen Betonsäulen mit eckigem Grundriss. Eine dieser Säulen endet mit dem oberen hexagonalen Turmkorb, die zweite reicht bis zum mittleren und die dritte bis zum unteren Betriebsgeschoss. Die mittlere Säule mit sechseckigem Grundschnitt verläuft durchgehend vom Erdgeschoss bis zum obersten Baukörper. Oberhalb des obersten Betriebsgeschosses schließt eine Stahlantenne das Bauwerk ab. Der Turm ist für den Publikumsverkehr nicht zugänglich und war ursprünglich 177 Meter hoch. Wegen der Verwendung von Sichtbeton und seiner klaren geometrischen Formensprache wird das Bauwerk dem Brutalismus zugerechnet. Fußballskulptur Zur Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2010 wurde im September 2009 unterhalb des Turmkorbs eine überdimensionale Fußballattrappe angebracht. Diese galt mit 24 Meter Durchmesser und einem Gewicht von 50 Tonnen nach dem Guinness-Buch der Rekorde als weltweit größte Fußballskulptur.

Philips

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (en català Electrònica Reial Philips S.A.), més coneguda com a Philips (Euronext PHIA, NYSE PHG), és una companyia neerlandesa de productes electrònics. L'any 2004 tenia 161.500 treballadors a més de 60 països, i aconseguí vendes per valor de 303.00 milions d'euros. La companyia fou fundada el 1891 pels germans Gerard i Anton Philips a Eindhoven, ciutat sobre la qual tingueren una influència cabdal. Inicialment es dedicaren a la fabricació de bombetes, però la seva producció es diversificà amb el temps. La introducció el 1983 juntament amb Sony del disc compacte fou una de les seves grans fites. La companyia està dividida en diverses seccions de negoci: Il·luminació (on és des de fa dècades el líder mundial en fabricació de bombetes) Productes de consum (vídeo, àudio...) Aparells domèstics i personals (amb màquines d'afaitar, depiladores, etc.) Semiconductors Sistemes Mèdics El 1913, per commemorar els 100 anys d'independència neerlandesa respecte a França, Philips creà un club d'esports per als seus treballadors. Aquest fou anomenat Philips Sport Vereniging (Associació Esportiva Philips, actualment conegut com a PSV Eindhoven). Al juny del 1948, la casa Philips va instal·lar uns estudis i unes sales de projeccions a la Fira Internacional de Mostres de Barcelona. Durant quasi una setmana el muntatge de l'empresa holandesa va ser l'atracció central. Per l'estudi van desfilar cantants, es van fer entrevistes i, fins i tot, hi va haver una actuació de l'Escolania de Montserrat. Al centre de la ciutat de València hi ha situats dos panells ceràmics publicitaris d'esta empresa.
