ProposalDescription: 

The Applicant, the Msunduzi Local Municipality has identified the need for community services in Ezinketheni, Copesville area, in the Msunduzi Local and uMgungundlovu District Municipality. The Msunduzi Municipality is looking to purchase a portion of Portion 10 of the Farm Lot 37 No.1294 working together with 3 other key stakeholders, namely: The Department of Education (DoE), Transnet and The Divine Life Society of South Africa. The total extent of the proposed site is 4 Ha whereby; 2,6 Ha will be used by the Department of Education for a Sports field to go with the Umsilinga Primary School situated adjacent; 0,7 Ha will go to Transnet SOC Limited for a Community Clinic and Transnet Offices that will include a Msunduzi Area Based Management office; and 0,7 Ha will be used by the Divine Life Society to build a well-equipped Community Crèche.

Expanded_Motivation: 

HIA summary and conclusion: The study area has been under afforestation for several decades, and then turned into sugar cane fields. The study area occurs on the eastern side of the main hill. Any archaeological sites that would have existed in the area, would have occurred on the top of the hill, i.e. where the existing buildings occur. The study area has thus been severely impacted by various forms of agriculture since the 1930s. The field survey did not record any heritage sites. No further mitigation or assessment is required. Palaeontological Summary and conclusion: The development site applicable to the Application for Exemption from the PIA Process during the Construction of the proposed development in the Thandisizwe Area, Msunduzi Local Municipality, Umgungunglovu District Municipality, Kwazulu-Natal Province, is underlain by moderate to low sensitivity rocks of the Karoo Supergroup. No significant fossils are expected when excavation (>1.5m) are done, and for this reason the author of this Application for Exemption from the PIA process, is confident that very few if any fossils will be disturbed during the construction phase. If fossils are, however recorded during excavations, it will contribute significantly to our knowledge of the Palaeontological Heritage of the KwaZulu- Natal Province.
