ProposalDescription: 

Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality (hereafter referred to as “The Proponent”), wishes to develop pedestrian footbridges in the following villages Poelong, Khosheng, Phophopho, Selahliwe and Sehlajaneng located on the remainder of the farm Witzieshoek No. 1926. The proponent owns and the subject property and would like to establish five (5) pedestrian bridges crossing several streams in order to create safe crossings for the local community. According to the Maluti-a-Phofung Municipal SDF, the location pf the proposed properties is earmarked as ‘Residential Development Zone’. The localities of the five (5) proposed pedestrian crossings are situated within the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality District Ward No.11 inside the urban edge of Monontsha.

Expanded_Motivation: 

During the previous rainy seasons, it has become apparent that the residents in the Monontsha area needs to cross several stream systems while they are in flood, and this has high risks for their safety while crossing. The area has a high annual rainfall (approximately 600 mm), which results in flash floods and high velocity flow within the mountainous stream systems and are therefore very difficult to cross during these times. At least five stream systems have been identified which contain dilapidated structures, require structures to allow for safe crossing. The proposed pedestrian bridges will be constructed over several small stream systems which is located in the Monontsha area which forms part of the greater QwaQwa residential area but lies along the western outskirts of the urban area. These bridges will also be located in the villages of Poelong, Khosheng, Phophopho, Selahliwe and Sehlajaneng. The development will involve the construction of five pedestrian bridges across several streams. At each crossing, an existing footpath already exists, with several of the streams also already containing concrete structures in various stages of disrepair. The crossing sites are therefore already modified to some degree. The stream crossings are all small, with none being named systems, however, they all form tributaries of the Elands River, downstream of the bridge sites. Due to the urban surroundings the area has been degraded and transformed to a significant extent, with the affected stream systems also being degraded to various degree.
