FIGURE 2.6: CATCHMENT AREAS IN SOUTH AFRICA

 CASE STUDY ON RIVER MANAGEMENT: SOUTH AFRICAN CATCHMENTS AREAS

 Covering many South African river basins, the 'Working for Catchments' programme
 operates in all major catchment areas.

 65% of South Africa receives less than 500 mm average annual rainfall, meaning that
 drought is an ever-present risk in South Africa.

 Future projections indicate that by 2025 the country's water requirements will outstrip
 water supply unless urgent steps are taken to manage the resource more sustainably.
 There are already major problems of water supply and water quality, with an estimated
 8 million South Africans currently having no access to potable water.

FIGURE 3.5: INFORMAL TRADING IN SOUTH AFRICA

       INFORMAL TRADERS PLAY A BIG ROLE IN SOUTH AFRICA'S ECONOMY

 Contributed: by Farhaanah Mahomed, 12 February 2015

                                                       It is estimated that the informal sector
                                                       contributes around 29 per cent to the
                                                       country's gross domestic product (GDP).

                                                       This is according to panelists speaking at the
                                                       Consumer Goods Council of South Africa
                                                       (CGCSA) Summit 2014 on the importance of
                                                       small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
                                                       including informal businesses. However, this
                                                       industry continues to face a number of
                                                       challenges.

 Education is seen to be important in order to get small-business owners to implement
 better, more effective business models. 'Some small-business owners develop their
 companies to a point where it is only viable to look after their families; they don't take into
 account expansion strategies and creating more jobs for others.'

FIGURE 3.6: FOOD INSECURITY

                               ENDING GLOBAL HUNGER

 Toni Muir

 As many as 795 million people around the world suffer under food insecurity. The
 majority of these people live in developing countries. There are a lot of empty, rumbling
 bellies mainly in the rural areas of Asia and Africa. 75% of the world's hungry live in rural
 areas. 50% of the small-scale farmers grow subsistence crops relying on family labour.

 This type of farming makes them vulnerable.

 The good news, according to the United Nations World Food Programme, is that hunger
 is a completely solvable problem.

FIGURE 4.3: RURAL-URBAN MIGRATION

                                           HOPE

 Susanne Melda, 26 November 2012

 Rural-urban migration is believed to affect various dimensions of migrants' well-being.
 Desires, such as the opportunity to improve the standard of living and better services,
 are not always met.

 The process of migration is often undertaken with an aspiration (desire) of improved
 opportunities for socio-economic advancement. However, it does not always entail
 improvement of living standard and poverty eradication. Rural migrants settling in big
 cities are the most vulnerable and may experience detrimental (unsafe) living conditions.

FIGURE 4.5: SOUTH AFRICA'S DECLINING MINING SECTOR

                      PATEL: SA'S MINING SECTOR 'IN TROUBLE'

5 August 2015 11:03 Sarah Evans, Reuters

Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel says South Africa's mining industry is 'in
trouble' as it struggles to recover from 23 000 job losses since April, and falling
commodity prices from key markets like China. 'Job growth over the last three months has
been fairly vigorous, but the mining industry is in trouble,' Patel said in an interview on
Talk Radio 702 on Wednesday.

The mining industry, which contributes around 7 percent to Africa's most developed
economy, is struggling with sinking commodity prices, rising costs and labour unrest.

Patel said South Africa needed to boost agriculture, tourism and manufacturing to
compensate the fallout from instability in mining. Patel said there were several factors
which contributed to the decline, beginning with the 2008 financial crisis where a million
jobs were lost, as well as the recent downturn in the metal industry and subdued demand
from China. Infrastructure, specifically an unstable electricity supply, was also a factor
which added to the mining woes.
