ProposalDescription: 

Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd, Limpopo Operating Unit (LOU) intends to construct the powerline for the above-mentioned project. The powerline will include an approximately MV line that is more than 300m which will be connected to the existing powerline in the area (refer to the Span plan sheets and the Pegging Coordinates for more information). The line will be constructed at Bolubedu in the Greater Letaba Local Municipality under Mopani District in Limpopo Province. Environmental Screening of the powerline route was conducted during mapping of the village and pegging of the route the by Survey team and site verification by Environmental Practitioner which lead to the generation of the servitude planning documents [Distribution Environmental Screening Document (DESD), Wayleave, Span plan and Pegging coordinates attached for your reference].No Heritage resources outlined on item 6.3 of the DESD were observed on site.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The project area is currently used for residential purposes and heavily degraded by current land use activities such as the roads, existing powerline and property boundary fences lines. Given the observation that the area is heavily degraded Eskom LOU request the Heritage Compliance Agency to exempt this project from full heritage assessment studies or any further AIA/HIA studies and grant us permission to proceed with the development as proposed. However, should any of the heritage resources, including graves or human remains be encountered or discovered during construction, Eskom shall immediately cease construction, inform LIHRA office, other relevant Department and as soon as possible contract a professional archaeologist to inspect the findings and conduct investigation as prescribed by the Act.
