B. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
8.1 ORGANISATIONAL OVERVIEW
8.1.1 Institutional Arrangements
Much of the population is involved in migrant labour as a result of the lack of employment opportunities within the municipal area and this has severe social impacts.
7.5.4.2 Economic Threats
High illiteracy rates prevail within the municipality and are a limitation for the population restricting it to unskilled jobs with a commensurate threat in respect of economic and earnings potential.
Poor farming practices in the rural areas in particular are a threat to agricultural production.
There is a lack of infrastructure maintenance impacting negatively on the aesthetics of the municipality.
7.5.4.3 Biophysical Threats
Monoculture is resulting in a loss of both genetic and biodiversity goods and services produced in the area.
Alien vegetation has a negative impact on water resources in the area.
There is a limited understanding of the downstream impacts of environmental degradation with apathy towards offenders.
The subdivision of agricultural land into small entities often results in non-viable agricultural production units.
The use of pit latrines in low-cost housing development will lead to environmental problems.
The migration of biodiversity up and down altitudinal gradients is critical to the survival of species during global climatic events. Monoculture has created islands of biodiversity in the municipality which inhibits the ability of ecosystems to adapt and migrate.
The lack of rehabilitation in some areas is an identified problem.
