Idai's estimated maximum sustained winds topped out at 188 km/hr on Monday, the equivalent of a Category 3 storm. Storm surges, which reached up 4m in height were experienced in the coastal city of Beira. Cyclone Idai has swept through Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe over the past few days, destroying almost everything in its path, causing devastating floods, killing and injuring thousands of people and ruining crops. More than 2.6 million people could be affected across the three countries. The port city of Beira, which was hit on Friday and is home to 500,000 people, is now an “island in the ocean”, almost completely cut off. Houses, roads and telegraph poles are completely submerged. The official death tolls in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi stands at 750 at this time.

There are a number of ways to reduce the temperature in urban areas: plant more trees, develop greenbelts and green open spaces in the city or urban areas. Greenbelts reintroduce indigenous vegetation and encourage bird and animal life. The green open spaces serve as a “green lung” providing healthy outdoor living and purifying the air. ‘ SiS [Source: Adapted from New Trend in Urban Developments://www.sciencedirect.com] Copyright Reserved Please Turn Over

More specifically, these winds originate during the months when the interior plateau of South Africa is experiencing cold and dry conditions. This creates a high pressure over the interior. Along the coast, regions are moderated by the oceans and temperatures are warmer than the interior- this creates a low pressure. Because of this pressure difference, air travels from the high towards the low. This air is heated up as it travels down the escarpment and reaches the coast. This time of the year is also known as the fire season in KZN. These hot, dry winds create the perfect environment to fuel runaway veld fires. A fire driven by a 100km an hour wind is unstoppable. These strong winds have a serious impact on farming activities and the natural environment. The winds eventually put every ones nerves on edge, it's a hot wind that wears you down.

Ge September 2019 Preparatory Examination FIGURE 3.3: RURAL SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE Water crisis continues in Beaufort West CAPE TOWN - One by one South Africa’s rural towns have succumbed as a devastating drought tightens its grip, turning vast areas into ground zero (without water). Collapsed water infrastructure, theft and corruption have brought the future into the present with a bang. The Beaufort West Municipality is yet again urging residents to save water amid the town's ongoing water crisis. The Karoo town's three main reservoirs are at 11%, 13% and 28% of capacity. The municipality has since implemented a water shedding system in a bid to reduce consumption among residents. In the long term, the municipality plans to get a pipeline which will pump water into the Gamka Dam. With South Africa experiencing a water deficit of 38 billion cubic metres annually, and needing an additional R30 billion a year to bridge the gap in water services infrastructure, the situation is a daily challenge for thousands of people.

Geography/P1 10 September 2019 Preparatory Examination NSC - Annexure FIGURE 3.5: FOOD SECURITY SA WILL HAVE TO PRODUCE 50% MORE FOOD BY 2050 OR FACE CRISIS WWF REPORT South Africa faces an impending food security crisis if there isn't urgent action to correct unsustainable practices, says an environmental organisation. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWE), South Africa will have to produce 50% more food by 2050 to feed an estimated population of 73 million people. In South Africa, agriculture is the largest land use and has the largest impact on land transformation and biodiversity loss. Farming in South Africa needs comprehensive reform in order to meet the needs of a growing population. Food prices directly affect food security. According to Food Bank South Africa, more than 20% of the population today is food insecure. That means that approximately 11.5 million South Africans do not know where their next meal will come from. The hardest hit people are women and children in rural communities. There is enough food to feed everyone; however the problem is distribution and access. Food security is generally measured in terms of the price of the country’s staple food, which is maize. In broader terms however ‘food security occurs when people lack secure access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development, and an active healthy life’.

Gec September 2019 Preparatory Examination FIGURE 4.5: MINING IN SOUTH AFRICA South Africa is a world leader in mining. The country has an abundance of mineral } resources, accounting for a significant proportion of world production and reserves, and South African mining companies are key players in the global industry. South Africa’s total reserves remain some of the world’s most valuable, with an estimated worth of R20.3-trillion ($2.5-trillion). Overall, the country is estimated to have the world’s fifth-largest mining sector in terms of GDP value. Currently, mining in South Africa contributes an average of 20% to South Africa's GDP and boasts a total annual income of nearly R600 million. Mining is continually adapting to changing local and international world conditions. It remains a cornerstone of the economy, making a significant contribution to economic activity, job creation and foreign exchange earnings. Mining and its related industries are critical to South Africa's socio-economic development. The sector accounts for roughly one-third of the market capitalisation of the JSE, and continues to attract foreign investment into the country. [Adapted from tradingeconomics.com/southafrica/gdp-from-mining -2018] FIGURE 4.6: SALDANHA BAY IDZ Saldanha Bay IDZ attracts R3bn worth of investment The Saldanha Bay Industrial Development Zone has signed new investment agreements, which brings the total number of signed investors to eight and investment value to over R3 billion. All these investors are investing in a variety of fabrication workshops for steel and other metals, equipment and marine repair facilities, oil lubricant and fuel plants, as well as specialised engineering services. The investors are targeting construction to start between March 2019 and March 2020, Minister Rob Davies said. Having established most of the major land-based infrastructure and some of the marine infrastructure, the zone’s partnership with Transnet National Ports Authority has already started some of the design and commercial work for expanding the infrastructure offering, with additional port facilities. Investments by local and international investors will signal confidence in the oil, gas and maritime sector and will contribute to opportunities for the development of small businesses in the region. Our focus on the oil and gas sectors and continued growth and investment has the potential for further skills development and job creation opportunities into the future,” said Schafer.
