ProposalDescription: 

The Greater Letaba Municipality (GLM) proposes the development of a sports complex, and associated infrastructure on an undeveloped site of ±6,5ha approximately 220m north of Mamanyoha Village, within the Mopani District, Limpopo Province. Currently, the proposed site is used for cattle grazing purposes and subsistence agriculture by small-scale farmers from the Mamanyoha community. The Modjadji Royal Council, the official custodian of the land, has made the area available to GLM for the purpose of this development. Limpopo Province

Expanded_Motivation: 

The development, which will be used by the whole community including local schools which do not have their own sports facilities, is proposed to consist of the following: - Sports fields; - tennis and basketball courts; - two grandstands with a capacity of 600 people each (1200 total); - a parking area; - an ablution block with onsite closed conservancy tank; - a borehole for groundwater abstraction; - Concrete palisade fencing around entire site and - a new transformer and short section of power line (likely 11kv, but definitely less than 33kv) from the existing electrical connection. Access is readily available in the form of an existing gravel road, which will not need to be upgraded. Services Water for the construction and operational phase of the project is proposed to be abstracted from a borehole onsite. All wastewater is proposed to be directed to an onsite closed conservancy tank, after which it will be pumped out by a honey sucker at regular intervals, for disposal at a licensed wastewater treatment works (most likely the municipal WWTW in Ga-Kgapane, although confirmation is still awaited). Solid waste will be temporarily stored onsite site where it will be collected and disposed of at regular intervals by GLM. Electricity for the development will be provided by the establishment of a new transformer and short section of power line (likely 11kv, but definitely less than 33kv) from the existing electrical connection. Purpose Currently infrastructure within Mamanyoha village only consists of a small number of gravel roads, foot paths, schools and one post office, all nestled within low-density residential housing stands. The community have no designated space to hold their community meetings which mostly take place in the open veld. On hot and/or rainy days, meetings are either cancelled or not well attended. This was experienced first-hand when a community meeting (attended by Polygon) regarding this project was held, at which it was explained that numerous community members were absent most likely due to the extreme heat of the day. In addition, local sporting enthusiasts and schools within and around the community do not have any facilities at which to enjoy their sporting activities. It is because of this that Mamanyoha was one of the villages selected to receive such infrastructure as stipulated in the Greater Letaba Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2012-2017.
