PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SUMMARY
This document serves as a summary of the Public Participation Process (PPP) followed for the proposed Emergency
Nondabula Water Reticulation project, located in Ward 9 within the Ndwedwe Local Municipality and Nodwengu
Traditional Council, KwaZulu-Natal.
The PPP commenced in June 2015 with notification to the Traditional Authority. Thereafter site notices were erected
at a number of points at strategic points around the proposed project site and Background Information Documents
(BIDs) were circulated. A Focus Group meeting was held with the Nodwengu Traditional Council on the 7th July 2015.
During this meeting comment forms and BID flyers were provided to the Nodwengu Traditional Council for distribution,
as well as to other interested and affected parties (I&APs). In addition, written notification was provided to all
landowners and BID’s were sent to all identified Organs of State and Commenting Authorities. An advert was placed
in the Isolezwe newspaper on the 12th August 2015 followed by a comment period which is open for I&APs to raise
their issues and concerns regarding the proposed activity. A Consultation Basic Assessment Report (cBAR) and
Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) were compiled, and were distributed to the relevant authorities and to
the public for review, for a 30 day comment period in which I&AP’s are afforded the opportunity to raise any further
issues and concerns, until the finalisation of the document. The final BAR will then be submitted to the KwaZulu-Natal
Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (KZN EDTEA).
