Krugersdrift Dam

The Krugersdrift Dam in the Modder River is 35 km northwest of Bloemfontein, Free State Province of South Africa with a capacity of 73.2 million cubic metres. It was built in 1970 with a wall length of 3114 m, height of 26 m and a surface area of 1 853 ha. The huge dam is very shallow and can lose its water in a short period of time due to usage and evaporation. The dam is situated in the Soetdoring Nature Reserve and holds yellowfish, Orange River mudfish, barbel and carp. It is a popular birding venue with large numbers of South African shelduck, Spur-winged geese and Egyptian geese. Access to the reserve is from the Bloemfontein-Bultfontein road (R700) or from the Bloemfontein-Kimberley road (R64); the reserve is about 40 kilometres from Bloemfontein's city centre.

Botanischer Garten von KwaZulu-Natal

Der Botanische Garten von KwaZulu-Natal (englisch KwaZulu-Natal National Botanical Garden) bei Pietermaritzburg in der Provinz KwaZulu-Natal gehört zu den staatlichen botanischen Gärten Südafrikas, die vom South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) als Forschungs- und Bildungseinrichtungen unterhalten werden. Geschichte Der botanische Garten ist eine Anlage in Südafrika mit weit zurückreichender Geschichte. Seine Gründung erfolgte am 3. März 1874. Er wurde bis 1969 als Pietermaritzburg Botanical Garden von der Pietermaritzburg Botanical Society unterhalten und ging im selben Jahr in die Verwaltung von National Botanic Gardens of South Africa über. Bis 1906 war der Garten über die Zwartkop Road nur zu Fuß oder mit einer Rikscha zu erreichen, nun gab es eine Straßenbahnlinie, die von der City Hall (Rathaus) in Pietermaritzburg kam und die Besucher wieder preiswert zurück brachte. Beschreibung Die ursprünglichen Ziele des botanischen Gartens bestanden in der Pflanzenaufzucht, vorrangig von Bäumen, die in der Kolonie Natal Verbreitung fanden. Ferner sammelte man einheimische Pflanzen zum Tausch mit auswärtigen Partnern. Das interne Ziel bestand in der Sammlung von Pflanzen nach Gesichtspunkten der Schönheit, ihrer Seltenheit und des ihnen zugeordneten Wertes. Aktuell besteht das Anliegen des botanischen Gartens in der Sammlung und Darbietung sowie dem Schutz einheimischer Pflanzen der östlichen Savannenlandschaften in Südafrika, speziell der Pflanzengattungen Clivia, Gerbera, Kniphofia und Watsonia. Besucherangebote Es gibt ein Open-Air-Areal für bis zu 5000 Besucher, wo Konzerte, Workshops sowie kleinere Familienveranstaltungen oder Grillausflüge stattfinden. Zusätzlich besteht ein kleiner Bereich mit Gebäuden für Versammlungen jeglicher Art einschließlich Cateringservice. Weblinks Webpräsenz. www.sanbi.org (englisch) Einzelnachweise

Kya Rosa, University of Pretoria

Kaya Rosa is a beautifully decorated late-Victorian house at the main entrance to the University of Pretoria in Pretoria, South Africa. The original building was constructed in Skinner Street in 1895 and belonged to Leo Weinthal, owner of The Press. It was named after his wife, Rosa. The word ‘Kaya’ is the Zulu word for ‘house’. Kaya Rosa later became the first home of the then Transvaal University College (TUC) – the predecessor of the University of Pretoria – but by 1911 construction of the Old Arts Building (University of Pretoria) had been completed following which Kaya Rosa was home to the first female student residence of the university until 1915, whereafter it was no longer in use. In 1980, the university commissioned the construction of a replica of the house where it stands today – at the Roper Street entrance to the university. Work began in 1983, under the guidance of architect Albrecht Holm, an alumnus of the University of Pretoria who is well known for his restouration work including that of the Ou Raadsaal as well as the Palace of Justice, Pretoria on Church square, Pretoria (Kerkplein, Pretoria) in the city centre. Precise measurements were taken from the original building and old photographs were used as reference to ensure that the reconstructed building closely resembles the original house. Many of the original Victorian fittings were used in the reconstruction. Today, Kaya Rosa houses part of the Department of Enrolment and Student Administration of the university. The reconstructed replica of the house was officially opened by Dr Anton Rupert on 25 October 1985. External links Kya Rosa on UPSpace University of Pretoria Kya Rosa - Home of Alumni

In 1936 installeerde Schindler voor het eerst een roltrap en een jaar later werd de eerste overzeese fabriek in Brazilië geopend. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog was er een diversificatie van de productie; Schindler produceerde nu ook bouwkranen, motoren en pompen.Schindler heeft meerdere vernieuwende technieken op het gebied van liften, zoals het Miconic 10-systeem (hierbij selecteert de gebruiker voor het betreden van de lift al een verdieping). Ook heeft Schindler aanraakbediening en glaspanelen in bepaalde installaties in plaats van de conventionele drukknoppen. Een voorbeeld hiervan is de Schindler 3300. Van 1945 tot 1996 bezat Schindler ook een fabriek voor spoor- en tramwegmaterieel te Pratteln. Deze leverde in 1956-57 onder meer 29 tramwagens aan Rotterdam.

Lindela Repatriation Centre

The Lindela Repatriation Centre is a detention centre for undocumented migrants in South Africa. The Lindela Repatriation Centre (Lindela) is one of South Africa's largest facilities for the holding of undocumented migrants. These people are all awaiting determination of their legal status in South Africa (or deportation). Due to an ever increasing burden on SAPS holding cells and the lack of detention capacity in the country's prisons, the need for a repatriation centre in Gauteng was identified by the Department of Home Affairs. In 1996, Lindela was opened to meet this requirement. It claims to be compliant with all good governance and lawful criteria. The Department of Home Affairs is legally and administratively responsible for all matters pertaining to the apprehension, holding, processing, repatriation and release of illegal aliens at the Lindela repatriation centre. Detainees are repatriated and transported by Home Affairs, almost on a daily basis, to border posts or O. R. Tambo International Airport and Lanseria International Airport. Contact number for Deportation Agent: +27 69 102 0065 Controversies The centre has been strongly criticized for corruption overcrowding and abuse of detainees and serious concerns have been expressed about human rights violations. Popular movements like Abahlali baseMjondolo in Durban and the Anti-Privatisation Forum in Johannesburg have called for Lindela to be shut down. In March and June 2012 there were riots at the centre. Various reports critical of abuses of human rights at the centre have been ignored. In September 2014 following two complaints by the Medecins Sans Frontieres or Doctors without Borders, Section 27, and People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty; the South African Human Rights Commission released a report identifying certain healthcare and legal issues at Lindela. The South African Parliament then formed a Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs to look into the allegations and was given 3 months to report back to parliament. In October 2014, detainees stopped a hunger strike after they claimed guards attacked them using rubber bullets and batons. On 20 October 2014, the South African Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba, did an inspection along with the media of the Lindela Repatriation Centre after human rights abuse allegations surfaced in the media. The minister also invited the South African Human Rights Commission to establish an office at the centre so that Human Rights can be monitored on a daily basis. To date the SAHRC have not taken up the offer. The ANC Women's League has shares in the centre. Notes and references

Mangosuthu University of Technology

Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) is a university of technology situated in Umlazi near the city of Durban, South Africa, on a site overlooking the Indian Ocean. MUT is located in the academic hub in the eThekwini metropole. It is a residential university. History Currently the fourth-largest township in South Africa, Umlazi got its name, according to legend, from a time when King Shaka passed through the area. He apparently refused to drink from the local stream, saying the water tasted like ‘umlaza’ – the acid taste from fermented milk. Originally known as the Umlazi Mission Reserve and owned by the Anglican Church, it was earmarked by the government in 1940 as a relocation point for [Cato Manor] residents. This was contentious and was one of the causes of the Cato Manor riots of 1959. In 1967 Umlazi was declared a township, divided into 26 sections named for letters of the alphabet. It is the only township in South Africa with its own vehicle registration number;NUZ. In 1974 the Chief Minister of KwaZulu, Dr [Mangosuthu Buthelezi], began discussing the idea of a dedicated tertiary educational institution specialising in technical subjects for black students, to meet the urgent and growing demand for expertise in these subjects. Anglo American and De Beers Consolidated Mines pledged R5 million to start building the initial facility, and later they were joined by Mobil Oil, AECI, the S.A. Sugar Millers’ Association, the Rembrandt and Distillers Corporation, LTA Limited, Sasol and other sponsors, who pledged more funds to establish the Schools for Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Building, and Business and Secretarial Studies. By mid-1977 the project could go ahead. The KwaZulu Cabinet decided to site the Technikon in Umlazi which, while part of KwaZulu, is also part of the Durban Metropolitan area. Given the urgency of the demand for technicians, and the need to build up the institution in an orderly fashion, it was decided to open its doors as soon as possible. Hence preliminary but permanent buildings were designed and built, and teaching began in 1979. The Technikon moved into its main buildings on their completion in September 1981. In November 2007, Mangosuthu Technikon was renamed Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT). See also Rankings of universities in South Africa References External links Official website
