1. INTRODUCTION 

The purpose of this section is to outline the approach and methodology adopted for the 

Public Participation Process (PPP) that was conducted as part of the Scoping Phase for 

the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the proposed Eskom Transmission 

Power Line project. The project entails the following: 

�� 765 kV Transmission Power Line between Zeus substation near Standerton in 

Mpumalanga and Perseus substation near Dealesville in the Free State. 

�� 765 kV Transmission Power Line between Zeus substation and Mercury substation 

near Vierfontein in the Free State. 

�� There will also be upgrades at the Zeus, Mercury and Perseus substations. 

2. PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 

The PPP programme was managed by Margen Industrial Services and was undertaken to 

create communication channels between Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs) and the 

project team, thereby allowing I&APs the opportunity to participate in the EIA. Public 

Participation will ensure that the concerns of stakeholders are considered in the 

development stages, enhancing the sustainability of the project. This is in keeping with 

the principles of Integrated Environmental Management (IEM) and environmental 

legislation, both of which emphasize the involvement of the affected communities in a 

meaningful manner. The following documents, served as the foundation and legal 

framework for the approach and methodology followed on this project. 

�� The Environment Conservation Act No. 73 of 1989 (ECA); 

�� The Environment Conservation Act No. 73 of 1989 (ECA); 

�� The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act No. 108 of 1996; 

�� National Environmental Management Act No. 107 of 1998 (NEMA); 

�� Government Gazette Notice No: R1183 of 5 September 1997, promulgated 

under section 26 and 28 of ECA. 

1

In keeping with the principles contained within this legal framework, the objective of the 

public participation program during the Scoping Phase has been to: 

�� Inform Interested and Affected Parties of the proposed project; 

�� Through the various levels of public meetings and information documents, 

provide an element of capacity building in terms of the NEMA regulations. 

�� Create channels of communication through which I&APs can contribute 

meaningfully to the EIA process by raising issues and concerns which could 

influence to the overall selection of the routes. 

�� Record all issues raised by I&APs in a Comments and Response Document. 

�� Keep I&APs informed of the study process. 

3. LIMITATIONS 

The following limitations had to be managed during the Scoping Phase 

�� Efforts have been made to identify and consult with all potentially affected people 

and/or landowners even though their availability and interest in participating has 

always been limited. 

�� Public open days held had a limited success and at some open days no-one 

attended the session 

�� In some instances, the Public Participation Consultant relied on representatives to 

notify and obtain input from their constituents, 

�� Degrees of uncertainty of the EIA process among some I&APs due to their 

experience with other Eskom projects, particularly the contractors that carry out 

maintenance on Eskom lines. This was mainly evident from landowners’ 

comments. Confusion amongst some I&APs, particularly Landowners, about the 

roles and functions of Eskom Transmission and Eskom Distribution. This resulted 

in I&APs either not wishing to participate or attending the meetings but only 

wanting to deal with distribution and not the Transmission EIA study. 

Despite these limitations, Margen Industrial Services is confident that the PPP was robust 

and afforded I&APs adequate opportunity to contribute to Scoping and accurately reflects 

issues raised in the public domain. 

2

4. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS 

The Scoping Phase of the EIA for the projects started in August 2005 with a Prefeasibility 

study that identified a wide study area with different possible corridors to be 

investigated. The PPP was undertaken in terms of the Plan of Study for Scoping as 

approved by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT). Input came 

from the Gauteng Department of Agriculture, Conservation, Environment and Land 

Affairs (GDACE), Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture and Land Administration 

(MDALA), Free State Department of Tourism, Environment and Economic Affairs 

(FSDTEEA) and North West Department of Agriculture, Conservation, Environment and 

Tourism (NWDACET). 

4.1. Methodology 

The methodology for the public consultation was influenced by the Pre-Feasibility study, 

pertaining to both the specialist studies that informed the identification of corridors as 

well as the information gathering relevant to the PPP. 

4.1.1. Reconnaissance Site Visit (see Appendix 1) 

The leader of the PPP team undertook a reconnaissance visit to the study area early at the 

inception phase of the project with the following objectives: 

�� To develop a preliminary understanding of the social context (land uses, socioeconomics, 

languages, demographics representative structures etc) to assist in the 

refinement of the public involvement strategy. 

�� To identify those parties or structures that may be interested in or affected by the 

proposed developments 

�� To guide the Public Participation Programme adopted for the project 

4.1.2 Stakeholder Identification 

The following stakeholder groups were identified: 

�� National and provincial Government (Transport, Environmental Affairs, Tourism, 

Agriculture, Education, Minerals and Energy, etc). 

�� Local Government (District and Local municipalities). Five district municipalities 

3

were identified in the study area with a total of 22 Local Municipalities. 

Of importance are the managers responsible for the Integrated Development 

Plans; Spatial Development Plans and LED 

�� Conservation authorities, such as the Mpumalanga Parks Board. Also other 

environmental groups, for example, Wildlife and Environmental Society of 

Southern Africa, Birdlife Africa, etc 

�� Cultural heritage authorities, e,g, South Africa Heritage Resources Agency, etc. 

�� Farmers’ Organizations (Provincial Unions, District Unions and Local 

Associations). 

�� Non Governmental and Community Based Organizations. 

�� Landowners. 

�� Bulk infrastructural authorities and service providers (e.g. Petronet, South Africa 

National Roads Agency, etc) 

�� Learners. 

Identified stakeholders were categorized according to their sectors (e.g. Agricultural 

Unions, Farmers’ Associations and conservation organizations). To date, Margen 

Industrial Services identified as many potentially affected landowners as possible and 

consulted with them through presentations at their union/association meetings. This is an 

ongoing exercise that will continue for the duration of the project. An electronic database 

is used to capture I&APs details and interactions, which is updated as and when 

information is distributed to/or received from I&APs. A list of registered I&APs is 

provided in Appendix 2. 

4.1.3. Project announcement to the public 

�� Pre-Study Documents 

Pre-EIA study documents in the form of a letter, accompanied by registration 

forms and posters were sent to several government departments with the intention 

of creating an awareness that Eskom Transmission intends to conduct an EIA. 

This was to encourage early registration as an I&AP. 

4

�� Media advertisement 

As required by the ECA 1989 (Act 73 of 1989), advertisements were place in both 

local and national newspapers. As agreed with authorities at the pre-application 

meeting, the advertisements were in English, IsiZulu, SeSotho and Afrikaans (See 

Newspapers used to advertise the project are listed in Table 1:

�� Agricultural magazines, AgriSA and Graan/Grain SA were also used to advertise 

the project, specifically targeting the farming community. 

�� To ensure that the rural communities that rely on the radio for information get to 

know about this project, short radio interviews/broadcasts through the Lesedi FM; 

Radio Oranje and RSG were made as follows: 

Radio Station Date of Interview Time Programme

Radio Oranje 12 Sept. 2005 15H35: ±3 minutes Palesa 

RSG 13 Sept. 2005 09H40: ±8 minutes Daniels 

These interviews were based on press statements forwarded earlier to the Program editor 

for current news of each radio station. 

All media and pre-study documentation are provided in Appendix 3

4.1.4. Distribution of other public documentation 

�� A Background Information Document (BID) was produced in English, 

Afrikaans, Sotho and Zulu while the comment sheet was only in English and 

Afrikaans. The BID detailed the proposed project and anticipated impacts 

associated with Transmission Power Line construction and explained the EIA 

process. The BID was fast-mailed to I&APs on the database at the time. Copies of 

the BID were also placed at public libraries, municipal offices and police stations. 

�� Flyers advertising the project were placed at post offices in the following areas, 

Welkom, Parys, Frankfort and Koppies. Key Stakeholder Workshops/Public Open 

Day Meetings were held at the above areas. 

�� The Eskom website was used to house the various public documents, which was 

available on line from August 2005 and will continue to be available throughout 

the project. The website is www.eskom.co.za/eia 

�� On-site notice: A3 sized notices, advertising the project, were place at the three 

substations. 

Key stakeholders were later contacted telephonically to confirm if they received the 

information document and if they would attend the workshop. 

All documents pertaining to this section are contained in Appendix 4 

4.2. Meetings and workshops 

Stakeholders were afforded the opportunity to participate and give input in the study 

process through various processes. These included Key Stakeholder Workshops (three 

were held in the study area), Public Open Day Sessions (22 held in the study area) and 

Focus Group Meetings (mainly with Farmers unions/associations), these are detailed in 

the subsequent sections. The issues as raised by I&APs at the various meetings were 

incorporated into the Comments and Response Document (Appendix 5). 

6

4.2.1. Key Stakeholder Workshops 

Key Stakeholder Workshops to discuss key issues around the proposed Transmission 

Power Lines were held at Frankfort, Welkom and Parys on the 04, 05 and 11 September 

2005. Stakeholders invited to the workshops represented various sectors. The objective of 

the workshops were: 

�� To provide information about the proposed project and the process that Margen 

proposed to adopt to meet EIA Regulation’s requirements 

�� To share information regarding the project’s preliminary alternative corridors as 

identified. 

�� To gather issues, concerns and ‘no-go’ areas associated with the proposed 

development as well as the process adopted by Margen. 

�� Provide an opportunity for stakeholders to comment and question Eskom and the 

EIA Project Team. 

�� Conduct constructive debate and discussion. 

The workshop invitation, list of invited stakeholders, attendance list and proceedings of 

workshops are provided in Appendix 6. 

4.2.3. Public Open Days 

An invitation to attend the Public Open Days was extended in advertisements, BIDs, 

letters, flyers and telephonic conversations as described in section 4.1.4. Table 2 lists the 

various dates and venues where the Public Open days occurred. 

The purpose of Public Open days was to provide an appropriate platform for I&APs to 

raise issues and have the opportunity to interact on an one-to-one basis with Eskom 

Transmission representatives and the EIA Project Team in the language of their choice. 

A set of 1:50 000 maps showing the study area and other maps with farm names were 

presented and landowners were asked to identify their properties on the maps. The 

attendance registers are provided in Appendix 7. A record of comments raised has been 

incorporated in the Comments and Response Document (Appendix 5). 

7

It should be noted that the public open days were not very successful with very people 

attending the sessions with some open days failing to attract any attendees.

4.2.4. Focus Group Meetings 

Focus group meetings were held in the study area. These groups included Farmers 

Unions and Farmers Associations, representatives of different government departments 

e.g. Department of Minerals and Energy, Land Claims Commissioner & DWAF, business 

representatives e.g. SASOL. 

4.2.4.1. Farmers’ Unions and Associations 

At the beginning of the study, the CEO of the Vrystaat Boere Vereeniging provided the 

PIP team with the list of District Farmers’ Unions in the study area. From this list and 

through referrals, the PIP team managed to identify other farmers’ unions and 

associations. Several meetings took place in order to discuss the following: 

�� Informing the Farmers’ Unions and Associations of the proposed projects. 

�� Receiving issues of concern from landowners, regarding the impact of the line on 

their farming activities. 

�� Identifying all Farmers’ Associations in the study area. 

The record of consultation with different unions and association can be found in 

Appendix 8. At all these meetings, landowners were informed of the servitude 

negotiation phase during which Eskom negotiate with the owner of the affected farm. 

4.2.4.2. Department of Minerals and Energy 

Telephonic contact was made with the Mineral and Energy Officers to arrange meetings 

with them during this phase of the EIA process. The objective of these meetings was to: 

�� Inform the department of the proposed projects. 

�� Identify areas where there are new applications for mining rights in the study area. 

The meetings with the Energy Officers of the Department of Minerals and Energy took 

place at, Welkom, Johannesburg, Witbank and Mafikeng. 

9

4.2.4.3. Land Claim Commissions 

Telephonic contact was made with the Land Claim Commissioners to arrange meetings 

with them during this phase of the EIA process. The objective was to: 

�� Inform the land claim commission of the proposed projects. 

�� Identify areas where there are claims in the study area. 

Contacts were made with the Land Claim Commissioners of all the provinces in the study 

area. 

5. COMMENTS AND ISSUES RAISED BY I&APs 

Response to issues of concerns and comments received during the Scoping Phase, 

together with the preliminary findings of the specialist investigations have been collated 

into an Issues and Responses Document that appear in Appendix 5. 

The objective of including issues raised in the public domain is to afford I&APs the 

opportunity to confirm that their issues were accurately captured and considered. 

Stakeholders can also raise more issues at this stage. 

6. PUBLIC REVIEW OF THE DRAFT SCOPING REPORT (DSR) 

This Draft Scoping Report (DSR) will be made available for public review during 

November 2005. The objective of making the DSR available for public comment is to 

provide the stakeholders with an opportunity to verify the authenticity of information 

supplied and effective handling by the EIA team. A period of 30 days will be allowed for 

public comment on this DSR. 

A response sheet will be included for stakeholders to complete and return to the Public 

Consultation Office. All the stakeholders registered in the database will receive the 

Executive Summary of the report. Procedures put in place to make the report available to 

the public will include: 

10

�� Distribution of the Executive Summary of the DSR to all stakeholders registered 

in the database. 

�� Placing the DSR at various public places in the study area. 

Presentations of the DSR to different stakeholder groups in the study area, including 

farmers’ unions/associations and authorities, to facilitate its review will be done on 

request. 

It is expected that the EIA phase for the corridors identified by the Scoping process will 

begin in January 2006 The public participation process during the EIA phase will be 

focused along these corridors. At this stage stakeholders will mainly receive information 

about the findings of the EIA and comment on it. 

7. ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAMME 

The EIA program for these projects had to be fast tracked because of the critical 

timeframes set to obtain authorization for at least one of them. The Public Participation 

Program is however followed with great caution to ensure that stakeholders are not 

missing any important information regarding the project. To guarantee that information is 

accessible to all sectors of the community: 

�� Both print media and radio broad casts were used to announce the project. 

�� The project was advertised in the magazines favored by the farming communities. 

�� National and local newspapers advertised the EIA process for these projects. 

�� Languages widely spoken in the study area were used in the adverts for local 

newspapers. 

�� Public Open Days were held closer to the communities in the study area in 22 

venues that were spread throughout the area over a one month period. 

�� Landowners had the opportunity of either attending a Public Open Day session in 

their area or get information from his farmers association. 

11

Three community leaders (Councilors) that were met at different venues suggested the 

use of councilor and civic structures to disseminate information to those communities that 

do not have access to newspapers and electronic media. Landowners mentioned the use 

of communication systems at the cooperatives to disseminate information to farmers 

(post boxes and radio system). 

Generally the input and feedback received from stakeholders, including landowners, is 

that they are receptive to the project. The issue that was found to be common and of 

which landowners are highly vocal about is the perceived health risks caused by EMF 

emission and poor service rendered (electricity supply) by Eskom. 

The effectiveness of the communication tools and strategy is analyzed further in the table

with farm names proved to be a good instrument to 

enable landowners to participate since they could see 

if their property was in or out of the study area. 

8. CONCLUDING REMARKS 

The consultation process touched all geographical areas that are potentially affected by 

all corridors initially proposed for scoping. By considering the input of technical 

specialists, the planning requirements of the proponent and the concerns raised by the 

13

local landowners, the corridors may be reduced for further investigation during the EIA 

phase. 

The consultation process will continue into the EIA phase. Consultation with landowners 

will focus more on the area within the boundaries of the new study area. All other 

stakeholders will continue to receive information regarding the project. Margen Industrial 

Services is satisfied that a diligent process was followed, giving authorities enough 

confidence to make a decision on the corridors recommended for further investigation.

APPENDIX II-1 

RECONNAISSANCE VISIT

INTRODUCTION 

RECONNAISSANCE VISIT TO THE STUDY AREA 

(Zeus – Perseus Project) 

Mr. Moses Mahlangu and Mr. Wonderboy Mahlalela undertook a two day reconnaissance visit to the study 

area on the 6 th and 7 th June 2005. The purpose of the visit was to: 

o Identify the potential I&APs and industries to be consulted during the scoping phase of the EIA 

o Consult with the chairperson of the provincial Vrystaat Landbou Unie, Mr. Pieter Moller and gain 

understanding of the general agricultural activities in the area. 

o Observe the existing lines for in preparation for site inspections during the site visit with the team 

of specialists. 

o Assess the settlements and plan the public involvement process in the area and ascertain the 

general stakeholder make up of the province. 

AREAS/PLACES VISITED 

o The four lines traversing the eastern and the central part of the study area were observed. The 

Perseus-Mercur-Grootvlei lines will be visited in future. The two substations were also visited. 

o Mr. Eddie Tengeni, (Senior Town Planner) was met in Welkom on 6 June 2005. Mr. Tengeni 

advised that we directly consult farmers associations and spatial development departments of the 

different districts and local municipalities in the province. The different district councils would 

give information about the land claims in their districts. The Land Claim Commission in 

Bloemfontein must be consulted (Mr. Shuka Ramakarane: 051 – 403 0700). 

Mr. Tengeni mentioned that the tribal land in the province is more towards Qwaqwa, as such the 

study area is thought to be having the state land only. To confirm the tribal land area, Mr. Peter 

Brisling (051 – 400 4200) must be contacted. 

o In Virginia the librarian advised that we talk to the Virginia District Boere Unie (083 452 4340). 

Most of the stakeholders were identified in Bloemfontein, as follows: 

o We had a meeting with the following government officials; Mr. Eddie Scott (Town Planner); Mr. 

Humble Matiso (IDP coordinator); Mr. Van Vuuren (Spatial Development Framework: Planning 

Directorate); Loyiso Ndenze (Township registration). A list of different district and local 

municipalities in the province was obtained. This included a list of committee members serving in 

the provincial IDP committee. 

o Mr. Gabriel Tlhapi felt that we need to involve the Free State House of Traditional Leaders to 

discuss the living heritage site. The contact person is Mr. Mabote (072 740 8150). For the different 

environmental organizations in the Free State province, it was suggested that Mr. R. J. Nuttall 

(National Museum in Bloemfontein: 051 – 447 9609) could give referrals as he is a member of a 

number of such organizations. 

o Mr. Pieter Moller (Vrystad Landbou Unie: 051 – 444 4609 or 082 388 2288 or 082 388 3662) 

indicated that there are five Farmers District Unions in the province. Each district has about 10 

smaller associations. When the consultation process starts, a formal letter of introduction and a 

request for contact details of the district unions must be addressed to the provincial union offices. 

For security reasons permission to visit farms must be obtained from the union. Mr. Moller also 

indicated that farm workers must be informed of the project. The union is also represented in the 

different municipalities.

o Documents for landowners must be user friendly, taking into account the language of the local 

people. It was recommended that documents be in English, Afrikaans and South Sotho. The 

university can help with translation. 

o Mr. Moller also mentioned that there are other committees such as the Land Care Committee, 

formed by members from smaller committees (e.g. Conservation; Wild Life; Game; Water 

Supply; Dairy; Meat and poultry) 

o The newspaper widely used by the farmers is the Free State Landbou. 

GENERAL COMMENTS 

From the discussion held with the chairperson of the farmers association in the Free State it would seem as 

though the landowners in the province are organized and we might get some support for consultation 

process from the leadership. The database so far is building up well though there is still a lot to be covered, 

especially the NGOs and Environmental organizations. 

Since this is a very long line to be observed during the site visit, I suggest we discuss the sequence of points 

to be touched during the site visit and plan for accommodation accordingly.

Press Release 

Environmental investigations for an Eskom Transmission Line to 

improve the reliability of electricity supply to the Eastern Cape 

The demand of electricity in the Eastern Cape has grown far more 

rapidly than originally anticipated. To support this growing demand 

Eskom Transmission Division needs to both improve the reliability of the 

existing network and ultimately upgrade its capacity. Eskom 

Transmission Division is proposing the construction of two 765kV 

Transmission Lines between the Zeus Substation, near Standerton 

(Mpumalanga) and Perseus Substation near Dealesville (Free State) and 

the other line between Zeus substation and Mercury substation near 

Vierfontein. The Zeus - Mercury line will form part of the planned 765kV 

Eskom Transmission scheme to supply Coega in the Eastern Cape. On 

longer term the Zeus – Perseus line will strengthen the whole Eastern 

Cape. 

Although the EIA will only started early September 2005, it is important that 

Interested and Affected Parties (I&AP) are provided adequate opportunity to 

participate in the study. Several PODs have been arranged in the study area 

for September/October 2005. For more information contact:

765kV Transmission Lines are planned: 

�� A new 765kV link between the Zeus Substation, near Standerton (Mpumalanga) and Perseus Substation near 

Dealesville (Free State), and 

�� A new 765kV link between the Zeus Substation and the Mercury Substation near Vierfontein (Free State). 

The proposed Zeus-Perseus Transmission line includes the provinces of Mpumalanga and Free State, while the Zeus- 

Mercury Transmission line will include the provinces of Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Northwest and Free State. A number of 

different sectors may be affected including municipalities, mining, agriculture, tourism and industry. 

In line with environmental regulations, Eskom Transmission Division has appointed Margen Industrial Services as the 

independent environmental consultant to conduct the Environmental Impact Assessment Studies and the related Public 

Consultation Process for the proposed Transmission Power Lines. We therefore hereby request your radio station to

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY 

Most of the power supply to the greater Cape area is provided by the coal fired power stations on the Highveld, mainly 

inMpumalanga. As a result, a ‘backbone’ Transmission network from Mpumalanga to the Cape has grown over the years 

asdemand has increased. Much of this network is now over two decades old and is approaching its peak operational 

capacity. Inaddition to the natural growth for electricity demand in the Eastern Cape, a ‘step load’ (ie a rapid jump in 

electricity demand) isanticipated by May 2009 for the planned aluminium smelter in the Coega Industrial Development 

Zone (IDZ) near Port Elizabeth.The second step load is expected by May 2012. 

Coega is part of the Southern Grid that consists of the Eastern Cape network system. Port Elizabeth and East London are 

themain demand centres. Measures to strengthen the existing network are underway and will help maintain a reliable 

supply for thenext two years. However, additional 765kV Transmission Power Lines are still required between 

Mpumalanga and Port Elizabeth, andcritical sections of the existing network will need these lines to be operational by the 

end of 2008. A second line is also anticipatedover critical sections to meet longer-term demands. The first of these critical 

sections is between Standerton and Bloemfontein. 

This study 

The study area is shown on the attached map. The Substations of Alpha and Zeus are near Standerton, while the Beta 

andPerseus Substations are outside Dealesville, northeast of Bloemfontein. Alpha and Beta are 765kV Substations but 

theircapacities are fully utilised and it is proposed to use Zeus and Perseus for the new 765kV network. Two new lines are 

required inthis area and one will need to be operational by the end of 2008 to meet the demands at Coega. The other is 

expected within thenext 10 years or so. Two options exist; 

� Zeus-Perseus. A direct line between Zeus and Perseus Substations, approximately 430km long. The provinces 

ofMpumalanga and the Free State are involved, and possibly Gauteng if the line deviates north of the Vaal dam. 

� Zeus-Mercury-Perseus. This will utilise the new Mercury-Perseus line (though it will need upgrading to 765kVbefore 

construction), and therefore only the Zeus-Mercuryoption will be covered in this study. The line will beapproximately 

250km long and will include the provinces of Mpumalanga, Free State, Gauteng and North West.Inaddition to 

providing additional network capacity to the Eastern Cape, this option would also provide important links forfuture 

expansion of the network to the north and west. 

These are separate projects and both are being addressed in this EIA study 

ISINGENISO SOCWANINGO 

Izindawo eziningi zokunikeza amandla kagesi endaweni yase-Kapa ngobukhulu bazo zinikezwa yiziteshi ezinikezwa 

amandla ngamalahle e-Highveld, ikakhulukazi e-Mpumalanga. Ngaloko umphumela, yi- ‘backbone’ yomphambo we- 

Transmission osuka e-Mpumalanga uya e-Kapa osukhulile ngokuhamba kweminyaka njengoba izimfuno zikhuphukile. 

Okuningi kwalo mphambo manje kungaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi elikabili ubudala futhi isisondela ubukhulu 

bokusebenza ezingeni elisesiqongweni. Ukwengeza ekukhuleni kwemvelo kwemfuneko kagesi eMpumalanga Kapa 

kucatshangelwa i-‘step load’ (okusho ukuthi ukugxuma ngokushesha kwemfneko kagesi) ngo-Meyi ka-2009 

yokuncibilikiswa kwensimbi ku-Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) eduzane ne-Port Elizabeth. Umthwalo 

wesinyathelo sesibili ulindeleke ngo-Meyi ka-2012. 

I-Coega yingxenye ye-Southern Grid equkethe uhlelo lomphambo lwaseMpumalanga Kapa. I-Port Elizabeth kanye ne- 

East London yizikhungo ezinezimfuneko ezisemqoka. Amacebo okuqinisa umphambo osukhona ahleliwe futhi azosiza 

ukugcina ukunikezela okuthembekile eminyakeni emibili ezayo. Kodwa, Amalayini Amandla e-Transmission ye-765kV 

asadingeka ngaphakathi kwe-Mpumalanga ne-Port Elizabeth, futhi izigaba ezibucayi zomphambo okhona zizodinga 

lamalayini ukuthi abe esebenza ekupheleni kuka-2008. Ilayini yesibili nayo ilindelwe kuzigaba ezisemqoka ukuze 

ifinyelele izimfuneko zesikhathi eside. Eyokuqala yalezi zigaba ezisemqoka iphakathi kwe-Standerton ne-Bloemfontein. 

Lolu cwaningo 

Indawo yocwaningo iboniswe ebalazweni elijotshelelwe. Iziteshi Ezincanyana ze-Alpha ne- Zeus ziseduzane ne- 

Standerton, bese kuthi Iziteshi Ezincanyana i-Beta ne-Perseus zibe ngaphandle kwe-Dealesville, enyakatho mpumalanga 

kwe-Bloemfontein. I-Alpha ne-Beta Yiziteshi Ezincanyana ze- 765kV kodwa ubukhulu bazo busetshenziswa ngokuphelele 

futhi kuphakanyiswe ukuthi kusesthenziswe i-Zeus ne-Perseus kumphambo omusha we-765kV. Amalayini amabili amasha 

adingekayo kule ndawo futhi eyodwa kuzodingeka ukuthi isebenze ekupheleni kuka-2008 ukuze kufinyelelwe izidingo ze- 

Coega. Enye ilindeleke eminyakeni eyi-10 ezayo noma ngokulindelekile. Kukhona ukukhetha okubili; 

� I-Zeus-Perseus. Ulayini oqondile ngaphakathi Kweziteshi Ezincanyana ze-Zeus ne-Perseus, Ocishe ube ngama-430km ubude. 

Zifunda zase-Mpumalanga kanye ne-Vreyistati ziyabandakanyeka, kanye futhi ne-Gauteng uma ilayini ichezukela enyakatho 

yedamu i-Vaal. 

� I-Zeus-Mercury-Perseus. Loku kuzosebenzisa ulayini omusha we-Mercury-Perseus (noma uzodinga ukulungiswa ube yi-765kV ngaphambi 

kokwakhiwa), ngakhoke wukhetho lwe-Zeus-Mercury kuphela oluzobhekwa kulo cwaningo. Umugqa uzawuba cishe ngama-250km ubude futhi 

uzofaka izifunda zase-Mpumalanga, eVreyistati, e-Gauteng kanye NaseNyakatho Ntshonalanga. Ngaphezu kokunikeza ubukhulu bomphambo 

eMpumalanga Kapa, lolu khetho luzonikeza futhi ukuxhumana okusemqoka kokwandiswa komphambo esikhathini esizayo eNyakatho 

Ntshonalanga.

INLEIDING TOT DIE STUDIE 

Die meeste van die kragtoevoer na die groter Kaap-gebied word deur steenkoolkragstasies op die Hoëveld, hoofsaaklik in 

Mpumulanga, voorsien. Gevolglik het ‘n rugsteun-Transmissienetwerk vanaf Mpumulanga na die Kaap oor die jare gegroei 

soos die vraag verhoog het. Groot dele van dié netwerk is nou meer as twee dekades oud en nader die piek van sy 

bedryfskapasiteit. Benewens die natuurlike groei in die vraag na elektrisiteit in die Oos-Kaap, word ‘n ‘traplading’ (di ‘n 

skielike sprong in die vraag na elektrisiteit) teen Mei 2009 verwag vir die voorgenome aluminiumgietery in die Koega 

Nywerheidsontwikkelingsgebied (NOG) naby Port Elizabeth. Die tweede traplading word teen Mei 2012 verwag. 

Koega is deel van die Suidelike Netwerk wat uit die Oos-Kaap-netwerkstelsel bestaan. Port Elizabeth en Oos-Londen is die 

belangrikste vraagsentrums. Maatreëls om die bestaande netwerk te versterk is aan die gang en sal help om ‘n 

ononderbroke toevoer vir die volgende twee jaar te handhaaf. Bykomende 765kV-Transmissiekraglyne word egter steeds 

tussen Mpumalanga en Port Elizabeth benodig, en noodsaaklike gedeeltes van die bestaande netwerk vereis dat hierdie lyne 

teen die einde van 2008 in werking is. ‘n Tweede lyn word vir die noodsaaklike gedeeltes in die vooruitsig gestel om aan 

vraag op die langer termyn te voldoen. Die eerste van hierdie noodsaaklike gedeeltes is tussen Standerton en Bloemfontein. 

Hierdie studie 

Die studiegebied word op die aangehegte kaart aangedui. Die Substasies van Alpha en Zeus is naby Standerton, terwyl die 

Beta- en Perseus-Substasies buite Dealesville, noord-oos van Bloemfontein, is. Alpha en Beta is 765kV-Substasies maar 

hul kapasiteit word ten volle benut en die voorstel is om Zeus en Perseus vir die nuwe 765kV-netwerk te gebruik. Twee 

nuwe lyne word in hierdie gebied benodig en een sal teen die einde van 2008 in werking moet wees om aan Koega se 

vereistes te voldoen. Die ander een word binne die volgende 10 jaar of wat verwag. Daar is twee opsies: 

� Zeus-Perseus. ‘n Direkte lyn tussen Zeus- en Perseus-Substasies, ongeveer 430km lank. Die provinsies van 

Mpumalanga en die Vrystaat is betrokke, en moontlik Gauteng indien die lyn noord van die Vaaldam afwyk. 

� Zeus-Mercury-Perseus. Dit sal die nuwe Mercury-Perseus-lyn benut (hoewel dit voor konstruksie na 765kV 

opgradeer sal moet word), en gevolglik sal net die Zeus-Mercury-opsie in hierdie studie gedek word. Die lyn sal 

ongeveer 250km lank wees en sal die provinsies van Mpumalanga, Vrystaat, Gauteng en Noordwes insluit. Benewens 

die voorsiening van bykomende netwerkkapasiteit vir die Oos-Kaap, sal hierdie opsie ook belangrike skakels verskaf 

vir toekomstige uitbreiding van die netwerk na dienoordeen weste.

The Environmental Impact 

Assessment Process 

Services to conduct the Environmental Impact 

Assessments (EIA) for both route options. In addition 

to the formal applications and consultation with the 

environmental authorities at National and Provincial 

the EIA process consists of three main phases: 

� Scoping Phase 

� The consultant “scopes” the various route 

corridors to gain a better understanding of the 

potential impacts. Additional corridors may be 

identified in the study area. 

� The public is invited to raise issues and concerns 

relating to the route corridors; 

� The information is integrated and a Draft 

Scoping Report is prepared and released for 

public comment. Preferred corridors may be 

identified. 

� Environmental Assessment phase 

� The preferred corridors are investigated in more 

detail. Potential impacts are assessed. 

� A Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft 

EIR) is prepared and released for public 

comment. 

� All comments are incorporated into the final 

report that is submitted to the National and 

Provincial authorities for review. 

� �Record of Decision (ROD) 

A ROD is issued by the National Department of 

Environmental Affairs & Tourism. All registered 

stakeholders are informed. The public is given 

30 days to appeal the ROD in writing if they are 

in disagreement with the findings. 

Note that both projects will follow the 

same process and will be run together. 

Specialist Studies 

Various specialist studies will be conducted 

as part of the EIAs. These studies include: 

�Heritage � Birds � Ecology 

� Social � Visual 

The names of the specialists can be obtained 

from the Public Involvement Office.

ukhetho lwazo zombili izindlela. Ukwengeza ekufakeni 

izicelo nokuxhumana okusemthethweni neziphathimandla 

zemvelo kuZwelonke kanye nasezifundeni. Inqubo ye-EIA 

iqukethe amazinga amathathu asemqoka alandelayo: 

� Izinga Lendawo Yokwenza 

� Ikhonsalithenti “yenza indawo” okungamanye 

amaphasiji ayizinhlobo zezindlela ukuze ithole 

ukuqonda kangcono ukungabakhona kwamandla. 

Amaphasiji angeziwe angaboniswa endaweni 

yocwaningo. 

� Umphakathi uyamenywa ukuba uzokwethula 

izindaba nemibuzo ngokuphathelene namaphasiji 

endlela; 

� Ulwazi luyahlanganiswa bese kulungiswa 

kuphinde kukhishwe Umbiko Owuhlaka 

Wendawo Yokwenza ukuze umphakathi uphawule 

ngawo. Amaphasiji akhethiwe angaboniswa. 

� Izinga Lokuhlola Imvelo 

� Amaphisiji ayindlela akhethiwe ayaphenywa 

ngokugcwele. Amandla okuthelela ayahlolwa. 

� Umbiko Owuhlaka Wamandla Emvelo ( Uhlaka 

lwe-EIR) uyalungiswa bese uyakhishwa ukuze 

umphakathi unikeze imibono. 

� Yonke imibono ifakwa embikweni wokugcina 

onikezwa iziphathimandla zikaZwelonke 

nezesifunda ukuthi ziwubuyekeze. 

� Ukurekhodwa kwezinqumo (i-ROD) 

I-ROD inikezwa Ngumnyango Wezindaba Zemvelo 

NezokuVakasha. Bonke abahlanganyeli abarejistiwe 

bayaziswa. Umphakathi unikezwa izinsuku eziyi-30 

ukufaka isikhalo esibhaliwe nge-ROD uma 

bengavumelani nemiphumela.

ANNEXURE II-5 

ISSUES, COMMENTS AND RESPONSE 

DOCUMENTS

ISSUES, COMMENTS AND RESPONSE 

Themes Issues, Concerns and Comments Responses 

Job Opportunities �� How is the project going to create 

jobs locally and opportunities to 

supply building material? 

Improvement of Reliability 

of supply 

Information Sharing & 

Transparency 

Air Strips and Crop 

Spraying 

�� The project is welcomed because we 

experience electricity failure during 

rainy days and we hope the project 

will create some jobs 

�� The power line will be welcomed if 

connection to it for irrigation 

purposes is allowed. 

�� Many complaints about power supply 

in various areas were raised. 

�� To be briefed in respect to any 

related issues. 

�� Wants to receive more information 

and the purpose of the project 

�� Wants to know about the benefit of 

the project 

�� Wants to create environmental 

awareness and management to the 

community, especially schools 

�� Studied electricity and would like to 

share my concern about power lines. 

�� Concerns about aviation safety – air 

operations. Some landowners have 

airstrips on their properties and they 

are concerned that the new line will 

require that they make some 

changes. 

�� It is recommended that the 

local municipalities should 

work with the local 

communities in identifying 

the available skills; these 

municipalities will then 

liaise with Eskom in this 

regard. 

�� The comment is appreciated 

but it must be pointed out 

that the lines are meant to 

strengthen the network in 

the Eastern Cape. 

�� This line is to strengthen 

the network in the Eastern 

Cape. 

�� Complaints conveyed to 

Eskom, but this issue is 

outside the scope of this 

study 

�� Comment noted with 

appreciation. You will be 

kept informed about the 

progress of the study. 

�� To strengthen the 

electricity supply networks 

in the Eastern Cape 

especially the Coega IDZ 

�� The project is of national 

interest in that it will 

strengthen the electricity 

network in the Eastern 

Cape especially to the 

Coega IDZ. 

�� Concerns can be forwarded 

to Eskom through the 

Public Consultation 

consultants. It is important 

to note that this study 

focuses on proposed power 

lines as indicated in the 

Background Information 

Document. 

�� Aviation safety is a 

serious concern and all 

effort will be made to avoid 

areas where airstrips are 

situated

Impact on Agricultural 

Activities 

�� Power lines make crop spraying 

expensive as companies that do crop 

spraying charges more for greater 

height application and more 

chemicals are used. 

�� How will the new lines affect 

agriculture and the farmers? 

�� Centre-pivot irrigation along the 

river. Landowners choose a portion 

of land for centre-pivot based on 

such factors as the fertility of the soil 

and the availability of water. Big 

capital investment is made to get 

production on that piece of land. To 

move to the other area so as to give 

way for a power line or to change the 

method of farming will not be 

acceptable to farmers. 

�� Farmer recorded that the existing 

765kV lines are roosting stations for 

‘bosduiwe’ that eat the grain. This is 

a pest and has increased since the 

construction of the 765kV lines in the 

1980’s. 

�� Concerns were raised regarding other 

Eskom lines where anchors had 

rusted and broken, and were 

sometimes left in the ground 

becoming a danger to farm vehicles. 

(This was understood to be on 

distribution lines in the area) 

��The line should rather be 

constructed parallel to existing 

infrastructure like the road or 

railway line. 

�� Farming activities south of Welkom 

(Sand River irrigation area) are based 

on the centre-pivot irrigation system, 

it is suggested that the new line be 

constructed more towards Winburg 

which is grazing land. Constructing 

the new lines parallel to the existing 

lines around Theunissen will take 

more of the fertile, productive farm 

portions. 

Health and Safety ��Power lines must not cross through 

the location. 

��Concerns about the safety of 

livestock and people 

�� This issue is noted. This 

will need to be considered 

in the corridor selection for 

the lines 

��The presence of irrigation 

systems and eco-tourism 

related developments along 

the line will be considered 

when plotting the line and 

during negotiation for 

compensation. 

��However, although not a 

preferred condition, it must 

be noted that power lines 

of this size can cross 

center-pivot irrigation 

systems without affecting 

the operation of the 

system. Nevertheless 

crossing these systems will 

be avoided as much as 

possible 

��‘Bosduiwe’ issue is noted 

and will be addressed in 

the EIA phase 

��Concerns regarding anchor 

foundations is noted and 

will be followed up with 

Eskom. 

�� Servitude restrictions for 

different infrastructures 

need to be considered 

when constructing the 

power line parallel or 

adjacent to such existing 

infrastructure. 

�� The difference in impacts 

on grasslands and 

croplands is noted and will 

be addressed in the EIA 

phase. However, it is likely 

that some croplands will be 

affected. 

��This issue will be considered 

when planning the final 

route as the Social Impact 

Assessment specialist has 

also raised the issue. 

��International literature 

research suggests there is 

little evidence that power

Electromagnetic Field 

(EMF) 

��Power lines render the area sterile 

for cropping given the inaccessibility 

to crop spraying! 

��Problems were raised regarding some 

of the wooden pole Distribution lines 

in the area – typically termite 

problems, rotting or lightning strikes 

and lack of maintenance thereafter. 

��The Vaal Reef Mine is mining 

underneath Viljoenskroon. It will be 

unsafe for the power lines to cross 

the area. 

��Eskom must ensure that their 

substations and transformers are 

checked annually. 

��What is the possibility of towers 

falling, especially in area with 

underground mining where soil/earth 

subsidence is taking place? Wooden 

poles have been seen falling after 

fires or after damage from termites 

and Eskom takes a long time to 

replace them. This is safety hazard. 

��Electromagnetic field from the power 

lines causes cancer in wild animals. 

An example of two Eland developing 

cancer and attributed to the EMF 

from the power lines that run 

through the game farm (Mr. Frans 

Schutte) 

��EMF reduces the productivity and 

fertility of living organisms. Farmers 

are concerned that their milk 

production and crop production 

(“Koring”; potatoes; ground nuts and 

maize) will be reduced as the result 

of the EMF exposure of their cattle 

and crops under the power lines. 

��How can Eskom help in terms of 

awareness campaign for farm 

workers and their families regarding 

the electric shock they experience 

lines endanger the lives of 

livestock and people. 

However, research allegedly 

done by the CSIR will be 

investigated for additional 

guidance. 

��This has been observed in 

the study area but is seen to 

be based on individual 

choice. There are croplands 

where land tilling up to the 

tower foundations has taken 

place. 

�� This is an Eskom 

Distribution matter. 

Concerns have been relayed 

to Eskom. 

��This area is not expected to 

be affected by the line 

��Eskom follow a programme 

of inspections and 

maintenance. We are not 

aware of any faults in this 

regard. 

��This is a concern over 

undermined areas and will 

need further investigation. 

�� See response above. 

Reported South African 

research on this will be 

investigated. 

��Eskom is requested for a 

response on this matter.

when going through a wet area or 

during rainy days under the power 

lines. This shock is also experienced 

when putting out fires under the 

lines. It will be appreciated if Eskom 

can join during fire fighting and help 

to guide on safety procedures. 

�� Effects of the Transmission lines on 

GPS systems? The Soutpan FA 

mentioned that some tractors are 

operated with GPS and wanted to 

know if the lines will not interfere 

with their activities. 

Access roads and gates ��Eskom maintenance teams cut 

fences and drive through the 

cultivated lands in the Grootvlei area. 

Contractors replacing rusted anchors 

in Dealesville do not close the gates 

and they do not follow access roads. 

This results in unwanted cross 

breeding of cattle. 

��Locks are not properly maintained 

and landowners are not given 

duplicate keys and as such 

experience problems during 

emergency fire fighting situations. 

��Eskom install poor quality gates 

without consulting landowners on 

where to install them. 

Education and Skills 

Training 

��Wants to know more about the 

science of electricity and the 

problems related to it. 

Availability of Resources ��Members of the Farmers Union are 

surprised that Eskom wants to 

construct a power line from 

Mpumalanga because the coal 

reserves are depleted and the future 

of generation plants in Mpumalanga 

is uncertain 

��There is coal reserve discovered in 

the northern Free State. Does this 

mean in future new generation plants 

will be build in that area and 

therefore new lines constructed from 

those generation plants. 

Compensation for 

Servitude 

��Landowners wanted to know about 

compensation procedures. 

��This query is noted and will 

require further investigation. 

��This point is noted with some 

concern. This will be 

discussed with Eskom has 

been made aware of these 

complaints 

��As above 

��As above 

��This study is about EIA for a 

specific project. Known 

issues and problems are 

included in the Background 

Information Document 

handed out at the Public 

Open Day session. 

�� See Draft Scoping Report 

�� Response requested from 

Eskom 

��Negotiation on value to 

be paid will be handled 

through negotiations 

between Eskom and 

individual landowners.

��Land prices are low at the moment. 

Landowners would rather wait until 

prices rise before servitude 

negotiations start. 

Natural Environment ��Interested in the conservation of 

wetlands and wild life that are in the 

study area. 

Eco-tourism and small 

business 

General �� 

��There is a recently established 

conservancy within boundaries of the 

Heilbron FU between Heilbron and 

Edenville. 

��Steep terrain along the river and 

potential for erosion 

��Do the large lines and substations 

affect the weather? Records suggest 

a continual drop in rainfall in the 

years that Perseus and Beta have 

been operational. 

��A secretary bird mortality on the first 

(northern) 765kV line was marked on 

the map (A1) 

��The new lines mean more land to be 

used by Eskom rather than by 

people. Eskom must upgrade the 

existing lines 

��The need for more electricity means 

more coal to be burned and therefore 

more acid rain for the environment. 

��Crows build their nests on the lines 

and this causes fire. 

�� Eco-tourism related developments 

along the river will be negatively 

affected by the presence of the 

power lines. 

��Visual impact 

�� Has an issue pertaining to subsidized 

electricity consumption by small 

business. 

�� 

Once a RoD is received for 

the recommended route,

Raised at Steynsrus POD ��Sometimes the farmers use Eskom gates for access, but then the farmers must accept responsibility for 

keeping them closed. 

�� 

Raised by Job Seekers at ��They wanted to know if any local skills/labour would be used in the construction of the line. 

Steynsrus POD 

Raised at Cornelia POD ��Farmer recorded that the existing 765kV lines are roosting stations for ‘bosduiwe’ that eat the grain. This is a 

pest and has increased since the construction of the 765kV lines in the 1980’s. 

��A secretary bird mortality on the first (northern) 765kV line was marked on the map (A1) 

��Concerns were raised regarding other Eskom lines where anchors had rusted and broken, and were 

sometimes left in the ground becoming a danger to farm vehicles. (This was understood to be on distribution 

lines in the area) 

��A Distribution complaint was also made about the power supply to Cornelia (it is erratic) and that the head 

office always changes (Frankfort, Vrede, Heilbron, etc.). It is therefore difficult to get a consistent service. 

Mr. L. J. Khakhau ��It is a good project because it is going to help people to create jobs and develop our country for 2010 world 

cup and the country’s development. 

��Emissions from this project must not kill our fauna and flora.

��The project must have less impact on ecosystem, graves and tourism. 

��Avoid soil erosion and soil degradation. 

Mr. M. Makonyane ��The new lines mean more land to be used by Eskom rather than by people. Eskom must upgrade the existing 

lines 

��The need for more electricity means more coal to be burned and therefore more acid rain for the 

environment. 

Ms. M. Mogopodi ��Wants to know how is Eskom going to deal with greenhouse gases? 

Mr. V. A. Mokgatlane ��Have an issue pertaining to subsidised electricity consumption by small business 

��Safety of children 

Mr. T. A. Qhewa Wants to know how the project will affect the environment and the health of the communities in the vicinity of 

the corridor. 

Mrs W Burgers ��No particular concerns raised, but did not want the line going over her farms. However, she did not feel there 

was anything particularly unsightly about the lines. 

Mr Jacobus Beyers ��Did not want the line anywhere near his farm. 

Mr QH Sethlare ��Apart from landowners, the Tswaraganeng community will be the most affected by the new lines and 

substation expansion. 

��He was concerned that his community was not being informed 

��Work opportunities during construction were also raised. 

Me Klinck 

��She advised that in addition to farmers, agricultural development schemes may occur in the study area and 

should therefore be included. 

Mr. J. A. Terblanche ��Proposed line will pass through centre-pivot irrigated lands, houses and dairy 

��Health and safety aspect of the people and animals is a concern 

Ms N. Zoya 

��Concerned about the participation of people from disadvantaged communities. 

��Interested in job opportunities arising from the project 

The following issues were raised at different stages of consultation but unfortunately the Public Consultation 

team is not sure of the source 

��Power lines confuse bees in their flight path because bees use magnetism to detect their direction. 

��There is more hail where there is power lines and thus insurance companies pay less if damage is as a result of hail close to the power 

lines. 

��How close to each other are the lines supposed to be build? Landowners do not understand why are the two existing 765 kV lines build so 

far apart. 

��Power lines interfere with the two-way radio system used by landowners for communication. This is a problem during emergencies like 

fire fighting incidence.

ASSESSMENT STUDIES 

Mr Stuart Dunsmore’s and Ms Streaton’s presentation overlapped in terms of 

the general need of power to the Eastern Cape and the capacity needed 

through the network. Mr Dunsmore mainly focused on the technical aspects of 

Transmission lines and Substations and the principal aim of the project. As part 

of his presentation, Mr Dunsmore explained how the study route corridors had 

been identified. Briefly, the route corridors were based on Eskom’s technical 

understanding of the area and the EIA specialist teams’ input from the site visit 

that was attended in August 2005. 

7. POWER LINE NEGOTIATION PROCESS 

Ms Streaton’s presentation covered the various steps to be followed in the 

negotiation process after the EIA has ended. As part of her presentation, Ms 

Streaton explained the appointment of an Environmental Control Officer and 

his/or her duties. 


Mr Mahlangu only focused on the EIA process that the study team would follow. 

As part of his presentation, Mr Mahlangu explained how the Interested and 

Affected Parties (I&AP) were identified and the application of the project 

announcement through the different advertising media used for this study. Mr 

Mahlangu briefly explained the applicable legislation for the Environmental 

Impact Assessment (EIA) process and the target dates to be met. 

9. DISCUSSIONS 

Various issues were raised during and after the presentations, these have been 

captured in table format and are attached. 

10. THE WAY FORWARD 

Ms Bowler explained that the way forward is guided by the EIA process and 

study programme. The process and time frames are contained in the final slide 

of Mr Mahlangu’s presentation. 

Ms Bowler explained that the proceedings of the meeting would be provided to 

the attendees as well as those individuals from whom apologies had been 

received. It was agreed that the proceedings would be sent by post or 

electronically, where available and that the maps would be omitted as these 

would complicate e-mailing because of the size. 

The Eskom officials on the database would be kept informed of the study 

process. All published public documents will be available on the Eskom 

website.

Eskom Transmission in future as Distribution will fall out. 

2 Does the EIA study focus on two different lines or just one? 

Tieho Roberts The first line is planned to be built in 2008. 

Noted. 

Sasol Mining raised following issues to be noted: 

- Vierplaats & Uitkoms both Sasol properties next to 

Vaal river and set aside for commercial purposes 

- Sterilisation logged applications for Mineral Rights 

- Lessee Rights 

- Value of Properties 

3 

Marietha Steyn 

Yes. Eskom will negotiate better practical options with land 

owners and the route can be moved if practical liable. If not 

practical the expropriate principle will be applied. 

Abraham Cilliers 

Am I entitled to refuse to have another power line been build 

on my farm? 

6 

Cost difference? 20 times more overhead? 

Abraham Cilliers 

Is theft of cables a problem re: transmission lines? If so why 

don’t we put the line under ground? 

Will the grass under the power lines be cut annually as this 

could be seen as an opportunity for local areas to benefit as 

farmers could bale it for grazing of cattle? 

7 

Eskom has a policy. According to the study done the 

grasslands not high in the areas where lines will be build 

and not a lot of cutting expected.

production and sterilization of the cows.

consulted with? They are in the Potchefstroom area and fall in 

the Mercury-Perseus power line corridor. 

3. Are the study team aware of new water and gas pipelines been Dean Wilson Noted 

build on properties in the Balfour area? 

Landowners will be allowed to plant under the lines as 

normal, only during the construction phase it will not be 

allowed. Eskom will visit each landowner to explain time 

frames. 

Pieter Roux 

ESKOM RELATED ISSUES 

SERVITUDES 

1. Will the land owners be allowed to plant on the 80m servitude 

under the power lines? 

Compensation will be market related. An independent 

valuator is used and a price per hector is determined based 

on the size of the servitude on a particular property. 

Tieho Roberts 

In terms of a servitude, how is this compensated or is it only a 

once off? 

2 

Tieho Roberts 

After two months I become a landowner of the ground what 

then? Will the last or the new owner get the money? Who will 

benefit of the compensation? 

3 

Eskom does not become the landowner. After buying the 

servitude, the land is till the property of the landowner. 

Kerneels Rossouw This problem needs to be addressed in a written letter and 

will be forwarded to Distribution to be dealt with. 

ESKOM IMAGE 

The image of Eskom are bad amongst the farmers in the 

Sasolburg area because one power point cannot be fixed the 

first time without an attitude problem as they have to be called 

back several times for the same problem. If a better working 

relationship could be established between the landowners and 

Eskom they would be more than willing to assist in future 

projects.

2 Is there a possibility for Eskom to supply the landowners with

TRANSMISSION POWER LINES ISSUES 

Jan Faber (Matjabeng Local Municipality) explained that 

the servitude may have a reduction in property value due to 

the new line. 

Alwyn Schlebusch reported that it will only be Matjabeng 

Municipality specific and be in effect from July 2006. 

Frans Delport reported that there will be different values for 

different land users. 

Michel Slabbert 

Will there be any land tax in terms of servitudes? 

1 

The conductors are designed to carry the cables and build 

10m apart to carry the weight. The safety aspect is 

important. 

Jan Faber 

Why can present lines not be used for new lines, rather than 

building of new lines? Particularly running over and parallel to 

existing smaller lines? 

2 

Structures are not strong enough and the power network 

cannot be shut down as it will take 18 months to rebuild a 

tower. 


The new bend tower (Single structure) 

- could the new designed tower not be used as an alternative 

i.e. lines on both sides similar to double circuit? 

3 

Two lines have been build on top of one another in the past 

but this will not be considered for this project. 


Why not upgrading the existing 400kV line

Joubert Scott Noted. 

1. Government Irrigation Scheme 

Are the study team aware of the Government Irrigation 

Scheme south of Welkom to Bultfontein as this scheme 

already exist and rotate under DWAF and Rand Water?

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 


Joubert Scott Noted. This issue has been raised at previous workshop 

held in Parys. Commentators have been asked to help the 

study team get the report of the research done. 

2. EMF’s 

Are the study team aware of the study done on the fertility of 

cattle grazing under power lines? 

Grace Mentz The construction sites will not be permanent as the teams 

do not stay long at one site and it may be two construction 

groups working behind each other. 

3. Construction Sites 

Are the construction camps permanent and can they be used 

later for other purposes? 

Zweli Thuthani The councillors will be informed and dealt with individually 

as it is law to feed back information to the community and 

the study team rely on the office members of the 

municipalities to give feedback to the councillors. Identified 

communities in the study area will be handled individually. 

4. Community Issues 

Any specific way the consultants are going to inform the 

community on the effect of the lines in their area? 

Grace Mentz Probably once study is completed. 

5 Provincial Roads 

At what stage will there be a final decision of the routes? 

Too big to send electronically and will be made available on 

a CD. 

Will there be bigger maps available to get the sites plotted on 

the department’s systems? 

Frans Delport Noted. 

6. Landowner Issues 

Free State Agriculture 

As Free State Agricutlure representative I have a problem with 

any new line and would like to discuss the proposed corridors 

due to the following:

- Further north you find the Sandvet Scheme which has 

“spilpunte” (centre pivots) and “akkerbou” @ R6 000 per ha 

- To the south it is “gras weiland” and “vee” (livestock) areas 

Noted. FA meeting was attended by Mr. Mahlangu on the 

18 October 2005. 

Jackie van Bosch 

Farmers Associations 

- The study team have to talk to the Lagerskraal Farmers 

Association regarding the Sandvet Scheme. 

Joubert Scott 

- A visit to the Welgemoed Farmers Association in Bultfontein 

are recommended. 

Noted. Mr. Dunsmore attended the FA meeting on the 13 

October 2005. 

The slides too big to send out electronically but will be send 

out in hardcopy format.

TRANSMISSION POWER LINES ISSUES 

1 

The role of the study team is to identify the best 

environmental route and to inform Eskom accordingly. 

Frans Wentzel 

Corridor Options 

Which corridor or option would be used first and who decides 

on the route? 

It is costing Eskom a lot of money to do the Environmental 

Impact Assessment (EIA) study and Eskom have to look at 

all the options and recommendations made by the 

consultant s before making a decision. 

Frans Wentzel 

At what stage is a preferred route identified? 

Structural design 

What is the height of the existing structures as the new 

structures look more dangerous and ugly than the older ones? 

2 

The level of all the alternatives will be looked at. This is to 

make sure that the study team does not make a decision on 

which route to use. 

Frans Wentzel 

New Structures 

If Eskom puts up a new line in his area will power distribution 

be improved as landowners will not allow new structures on 

their farms as it is a problem and in the way of spill points on 

the lands? 

3 

The power line will not directly improve the supply of 

electricity in his area 

Willie Venter 


Frans Wentzel The project are still in the beginning stages and Public Open 

Days and Key Stakeholder Workshops has been organised 

and advertised to reach the public to get information from 

stakeholders in the different areas. The study team are 

currently in the process visiting all the Farmers Associations 

1. Landowners 

What is the purpose of the meeting in Frankfort if the farmers 

do not know about it? 

__________________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 


and District Farmers Unions. It is hoped that people 

attending the meetings will inform the study team on the 

different Associations in the areas. 

The common farming methods are already captured 

although all the information and input from farmers are very 

important and will be taken into account. 

Douw Wentzel 

Each landowner’s concerns are unique, how fair is a decision 

made? 

The process of negotiation and decision making will be 

followed and dealt with individually. 

Douw Wentzel 

Will there be one-to-one communication with landowners and 

what about a line going through a conservation area? 

Frans Wentzel The levels of alternatives have to be looked at to make sure 

that the study team have not decided on a line route. Inputs 

from the public are very important. 

2. Public Influence 

Can the public influence the decisions on corridor/route 

chosen? 

3. Environmental Issues 

What about the regulations regarding birds? 

The bird specialist from the Endangered Wildlife Trust – 

Avifauna is part of the study team. Eskom also has a policy 

regarding birds and power lines. 

Frans Wentzel 

These will be noted and measures taken to either avoid or 

lessen the impact of the power line on these sites. 

Frans Wentzel 

What about compensation and evaluation regarding farmers 

land, Eco Tourism developments and investment into 

conservation at Tafelkop which is historical heritage in the 

area? 

4. Aviation Rules 

What about an airstrip and aviation rules on this project? Frans Wentzel This is regarded in a serious light and will be taken into 

account when the proposed route is considered.

Noted. 

Douw Wentzel 

5. Stakeholders 

Why not use the electronic Grain Tracking SMS system at Cooperations 

and auctioneers to reach the landowners to help 

with the communication process? 

Noted. 

Dawie Maree 

The Vaal River Forum a very important stakeholder in the 

Sasolburg area to be added to the stakeholder list. 

ESKOM RELATED ISSUES 

1. Environmental Officer 

What is the Environmental Officer’s role and responsibilities? Frans Wentzel The Environmental Control Officer will be employed by 

Eskom at the start of construction and s/he will be 

responsible for seeing that the conditions of the EMP are 

followed by the contractor 

Frans Wentzel Eskom does not build underground as it is very expensive 

and not affordable. More information was supplied about 

this in relation to practices undertaken in Europe and 

information re the underground option would be emailed to 

him. 

2. Underground Lines 

Why don’t Eskom burry the power lines underground as this 

will be much safer and have less environmental impact? Why 

does Eskom only give negatives for underground? 

Noted. 

Anton Viljoen 

3 Construction Issues 

Why not get organized agriculture involved as they can help 

with the environmental impact heavy vehicles will have on the 

damage of properties. 

The study team have to look at different issues of impact in 

the study. 

Simon Motloung 

What are the economic benefits of the construction of power 

lines locally? 

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 


-8-




__________________________________________________________________________________________ 


This will form part of the EMP and is strictly forbidden by 

Eskom 

Douw Wentzel 

What about security during the construction phase regarding 

poaching etc.? 

GENERAL ISSUES 

Willie Venter Noted. This issue has been raised at the other meetings by 

landowners and the study team will follow up on this project 

done by Dr Bonsma. The commentator was requested to 

help the study team get the report of the research done. 

1 Are Eskom aware of when people are working under a 

transmission line they get shocked and it has been proven that 

it influences the fertility of cattle by the late Dr Bonsma who 

had a study done by the CSIR on his Bonsmara cattle stud? 

Douw Wentzel Noted. 

2 Are the study team aware of the Damkrag distributor of power 

to farmers in the Petrus Steyn area?

Margen has been appointed by Eskom Transmission to undertake environmental impact assessments (EIAs) for the two 

proposed Transmission power lines above. We are currently in the Scoping phase of the study that includes an extensive 

public consultation programme. 

Landowners consultation form an important component of the consultation process since the lines will be constructed 

through the greater part of agricultural land. District Farmers Unions and Farmers Associations can help to disseminate 

information regarding the proposed lines to landowners. Public Consultation Team has already started holding meetings 

with unions in an effort to reach out to the landowners. 

As a representative of landowners in your area, you are requested to help distribute the enclosed Background Information 

Document to members of your union/association that may be affected by the new lines in some way. A list of farm names 

that might be affected is also enclosed. 

The magisterial district in which you live is highlighted on the list of farm names. Please study the farms listed under your 

district and advise your members accordingly. The alternative lines under investigation are shown on the attached map (see 

loose page) and are labelled as: 

ZP1 = Zeus – Perseus 1 




ZM1 = Zeus – Mercury 1 

ZM2 = Zeus – Mercury 2 

Your assistance in distributing the document is greatly valued. 

Yours faithfully,

Present: Moses, Dean, Stuart 

�� Steynsrus DFU comprises an unusual shape in line with the Moqhaka district (includes 

Steynsrus, Kroonstad & Viljoenskroon). Mr PJ van Wyk of the Dept Agriculture 

(Kroonstad) will provide details. SD to liaise with him. 

�� Landowners wanted to know about compensation procedures. DW explained this would 

be handled through direct negotiations between Eskom and individual landowners. 

�� No problems with the existing 765kV lines were raised. They were seen to ‘look after 

themselves’. 

�� Instead problems were raised regarding some of the wooden pole Distribution lines in the 

area – typically termite problems, rotting or lightning strikes and lack of maintenance 

thereafter. However, there was no real frustration expressed in this regard. 

�� No fire related problems were noted for the 765kV lines. However, it was noted that a 

group of farmers left the meeting in a hurry to see to a veld fire. Hence this is an issue in 

the area, but is not seen to be a problem regarding the Transmission lines. 



13 Sept: Frankfort DFU 

Present: K. v. d. Merwe; M. Mahlangu 

�� The public consultation team requested for a slot in the monthly district meeting agenda 

to introduce the two Eskom projects to them. 

�� Mr. Koos van der Merwe thanked the union for allowing the consultants to give a 

presentation on the two transmission power lines. 

�� Moses Mahlangu explained the need for the two lines that is to strengthen the electricity 

network in the Eastern Cape.

�� This is necessitated by the increased electricity demand in the Coega Industrial 

Development Zone. 

�� Two lines are being investigated; one urgently required and the other being a long term 

planning strategy. 

Questions for Clarification 

�� The power line will be welcomed if connection to it for irrigation purposes is allowed. [This 

line is to strengthen the network in the Eastern Cape.] 

�� The line should rather be constructed parallel to existing infrastructure like the road or 

railway line. [This is a good suggestion but because servitude restrictions for these 

different infrastructures the line will still be built a distance away, and possibly in a new 

servitude on farms] 

�� There is a concern about the EMF on the productivity of the animals on farms. 

14 Sept: Steynsrus POD 

Present: Stuart, Ndivhuwo 

�� Mr Chris Heyns & Mr Johan from Steynsrus DFU arrived and gave a list of farmers’ 

names and telephone numbers of affected farms in the study corridors. 

�� No problems with either the existing lines or Eskom were raised. 

�� Sometimes the farmers use Eskom gates for access, but then the farmers must accept 

responsibility for keeping them closed. 

�� A number of job seekers attended the meeting. They wanted to know if any local 

skills/labour would be used in the construction of the line. 

�� They were encouraged to work with the local municipality and to get the municipality to 

liaise with Eskom in this regard. 

�� They noticed the adverts in the newspaper. 

�� Mr Brits – Steynsrus Municipal Manager raised no particular concerns regarding the new 

lines. 

�� Even the likelihood of construction teams passing thru or near the town was not of any 

particular concern, provided they were properly managed. 

�� Mr Brits agreed that if he were sent a list of services he would investigate availability of 

local skills. However, this will be processed through the Kroonstad head office of 

Moqhaka Municipality. 

Copies of the BID left at municipal offices. 

14 Sept.: Vredefort POD 

Present: Jean Beater, Koos v.d. Merwe, Hendrik Mokone 

No one attended this POD 

14 Sept: Petrus Steyn POD 

Present: Dean Wilson; M. Mahlangu; W. Mahlalela 

�� Fifteen stakeholders attended, mainly landowners 

�� Main issue is the EMF and the uncertainty about its effect on the fertility of live stock 

�� Bees get confused in finding their way to the hive as they use magnetic effect to fly 

home. This magnetic effect of the power line is also a problem for two-way radio 

communication systems. 

�� Power lines tend to attract hail and insurance companies refuses to pay damages related 

to hail if there is a power line in the vicinity. 

�� Farming equipment occasionally gets damaged by anchors.

15 Sept: Villiers POD 


�� SD met with Mr Jan Bekker, Branch Manager of the Vrystaat Koöperasie BPK (tel:058- 

8210001). Described the project to him and he agreed to hold a number of BIDs 

(approx. 10) for distribution to potentially interested landowners. 

�� Mr Koos Kruger attended the POD. He is chairperson of the Sandleem Studiegroep. They 

cover the same area as the Villiers FA, but focus on technical aspects of farming while 

the FA is more administrative. 

�� Mr Hennie Heymans is the secretary of the group (082-4955802). 

�� Their meetings are the 3 rd Thursday in the month. Their current programme for 

September is full, and the October meeting may be cancelled due to the harvest period. 

Hence the next meeting will be January 2006. 

�� Mr Hennie Oosthuizen (082-9440364) is the chairperson of the Villiers FA. A slot at the 

FA meeting the next day was arranged. 

�� A number of job seekers attended the meeting. 

�� Mrs W Burgers, local landowner, attended. No particular concerns raised, but did not 

want the line going over her farms (see register). However, she did not feel there was 

anything particularly unsightly about the lines. 

�� Mr Jacobus Beyers – owner of the remaining portion of the farm Home – did not want the 

line anywhere near his farm. Contact: 082-8517680, Posbus 146, Villiers, 9840. 

Copies of the BID (approx. 10) left at Vrystaat Koöperasie BPK. 

15 Sept: Deneysville POD 

Present: Jean, Koos and Hendrik Mokone 

�� One of the landowners complained that the power lines made the spraying of his 

crops by aeroplane more expensive and more difficult as the lines had to be avoided, 

the costs of spraying fields where power lines were situated was more expensive. He 

also stated that crows built nests on the pylons that were a fire risk. 

�� Mr. J.D. Cilliers stated that some of his farms were game farms and had power lines 

over them already and he did not want any more lines on his farms. 

�� Both Mr. Cilliers and Mr. Claasen stated that Clydesdale Colliery had the 

underground mineral rights on their respective farms. 

15 Sept.: Heilbron POD 

Present: W. Mahlalela; D. Wilson; M. Mahlangu 

�� Landowners in the area heard about the POD at their FU meeting. 

�� Fifteen people attended 

�� They requested that the PIP team come and give presentation at their next meeting 

�� Contact details of some key persons in the FA around Heilbron and dates for their 

meetings were given. 

�� Mr. P. J. Classen has micro light flight and flight strip on his farm. 

�� Smaller, distribution lines causes fire 

�� Requested that in the presentation at their next FA meeting, a map with farm names 

must be used for presentation 

�� Meetings usually held during the last Thursday of the month. It was suggested that we 

aim at presenting in November 2005. 

16 Sept: Villiers FA 

Present: Stuart, Koos 

�� The FA meeting had been arranged to cover labour related issues. The EIA team was 

given a ‘slot’ at the end of the meeting. 

�� After the EIA presentation, much of the focus was on identifying their respective farms on 

the A1 maps, and seeing where the proposed line(s) have been placed. 

�� Issued raised included: 

o Centre-pivot irrigation along the river.

o Eco-tourism related developments along the river (though’ these were 

understood to be few) 

o Steep terrain along the river and potential for erosion 

o Visual impact 

�� No specific concerns relating to the line on agricultural land use (except centre-pivots) 

were raised. 

�� A list farms, names and contact details were obtained. 

Copies of the BID made available to all farmers attending the meeting 

16 Sept: Cornelia POD 

Present: Stuart 

�� Job seekers queried work opportunities. 

�� Adverts were noted in the newspapers 

�� Municipal Engineer (Mr van Rensburg) saw no particular concerns in the possibility of a 

new 765kV line passing the town nearby (the lines are between 4 & 8km away – approx.) 

�� Municipal officer (Bongani Sigasa) agreed to assist with future information dissemination. 

�� Farmer recorded that the existing 765kV lines are roosting stations for ‘bosduiwe’ that eat 

the grain. This is a pest and has increased since the construction of the 765kV lines in the 

1980’s. 

�� A secretary bird mortality on the first (northern) 765kV line was marked on the map (A1) 

�� Concerns were raised regarding other Eskom lines where anchors had rusted and 

broken, and were sometimes left in the ground becoming a danger to farm vehicles. (This 

was understood to be on distribution lines in the area) 

�� A Distribution complaint was also made about the power supply to Cornelia (it is erratic) 

and that the head office always changes (Frankfort, Vrede, Heilbron, etc.). It is therefore 

difficult to get a consistent service. 

�� Farmers Assoc chairperson = Mr Albrecht de Jager (082-5720409). The last meeting was 

on the 15 th Sept (the day before the POD). The next meeting will therefore be mid 

October. 

Approx. 15 copies of the BID left at Cornelia Municipality 

16 Sept: Balfour POD 

Present: Jean, Koos, Hendrik 

Only one person attended the meeting. He was from the Dipaleseng Municipality and wanted 

to know what the benefits of the power line would be for the municipal area. 

About 20 BIDs left at municipal offices 

19 Sept: Sasolburg POD 

Present: Stuart, Dean 

�� Met with the Municipal Manager – Mr LK Mahlatsi – and IDP Manager – Mr Brutus 

Mahlaku. SD gave some background to the study and left copies of the BID with them. 

�� Mr Mahlaku sent Mr Gerrard Steenkamp – Town Planner with the municipality – who 

provided some very important information about the future expansions of Sasolburg, 

Deneysville and Oranjeville. 

�� 80% of the municipal area of Sasolburg has now been developed. And there is little room 

for expansion. Coal mining around the town is constraining any expansion. 

�� Anglo Coal owns most of the mineral rights in the area and is currently planning their 

future operations. Some of the mining will be underground but other areas will be open 

cast. We need to understand where the latter is planned. 

�� It is expected that exploration drilling to test for coal depth will only be completed by the 

end of 2007. This would affect the planning of the power line. Programme to be checked 

with Anglo Coal. 

�� Contact details given for Mnr JJ Badenhorst, Anglo Coal, Witbank. 

Copies of the BID left at public library.

16 Sept.: Standerton POD 

Present: N. Netshilaphala; D. Wilson; M. Mahlangu 

�� Six people attended. These were actually passers. 

�� Two teachers came in response to the BID that was sent to their school. 

�� They felt strongly that more emphasis should be put into environmental awareness 

campaign, especially at high school levels. 

19 Sept: Potchefstroom POD 

Present: Jean, Koos & Hendrik 

One person attended the POD. He was from the Potchefstroom Municipality and he 

mentioned that they were having electricity supply problems and were therefore happy to see 

more lines coming through the area. He was informed that the proposed power lines would 

not have a direct affect on the improvement of the power to the town but that the matter would 

be directed to Eskom. 

20 BIDS left at local Senwes Co-op together with notice of POD. 

19 Viljoenskroon: POD 

Present: N. Netshilaphala; W. Mahlalela; M. Mahlangu 

�� Twenty one attendees stopped to find out what the presentation was all about 

�� One mentioned that he heard about the project over the radio 

�� It was mentioned that there is mining under Viljoenskroon. Therefore a power line in 

the area will pose safety hazard. 

20 Sept: Virginia POD 

Present: Stuart, Wonder Boy 

�� Visited the municipal offices, including the office of the mayor. All senior staff were out at 

a meeting in Welkom and were not able to attend the POD. 

�� The mayor’s secretary knew of the EIA study and confirmed that information from Margen 

had been received. 

�� Additional copies of the BID were left at the mayor’s office. 

�� Visited Melodine, a residential area on the southern side of Virginia. 

�� Houses were already encroaching into existing servitudes (there are four Tx lines there), 

and space for a new 765kV servitude is limited. 

�� Met with Councillor Liphoko. He is a key stakeholder regarding one of the options (ZP4) 

for the Zeus-Perseus line, and must be invited to the KSWs. 

20 Sept: Odendaalsrus POD 

Present: Jean, Koos, Hendrik 

�� Mr. Skosana from the IDP section of the Matjhabeng Municipality attended. He took 

50 BIDs for his colleagues and said that the Municipality was responsible for Welkom, 

Odendalsrus and Henneman. He said that his colleagues would attend the Welkom 

KSW. He stated that the Chairperson of the farmers in the area was a Mr. Long. 

20 Sept: Kroonstad POD 

Present: N. Netshilaphala; M. Mahlangu 

�� Sixteen people attended 

�� No significant input was received 

�� BIDs were issued out and 50 copies were left at the library for distribution.

21 Sept: Harmony Gold, Welkom – Mr Ferdi Jordaan. 


�� Harmony owns much of the land between Virginia and Welkom. 

�� All mining is deep shaft mining, so it is only necessary to avoid tailings dams, shaft heads 

and existing infrastructure on the ground. 

�� Two possible routes between Virginia and Welkom were identified. 

�� It may be possible to go north of Welkom, following the Bultfontein road between Welkom 

and Odendaalsrus. 

�� Areas of ownership were marked on the maps. 

�� Other mines to contact are President Steyn Mine (a small area between Virginia and 

Welkom) and the Goldfields owned Beatrix & Oryx mines 

�� Mr Jordaan is to be invited to the KSWs. 

21 Sept: Dealesville POD 

Present: Stuart, Hendrick 

�� Meeting was attended by a community leader – Mr QH Sethlare - from the Tswaraganeng 

(sp?) community on the northern outskirts of Dealesville. Apart from landowners, this 

community will be the most affected by the new lines and substation expansion. 

�� He was concerned that his community was not being informed. It was explained that we 

were in the initial stages of the study, and that we were in the process of informing the 

public along the routes. Mr Sethlare was invited to attend one of the KSWs to be held in 

October. 

�� Mr Sethlare was not aware of the Mercury-Perseus line. 

�� Work opportunities during construction were also raised. It was a greed that a list of skills 

required during construction would be helpful in planning for this. SD would raise this with 

Eskom and Mr Sethlare would approach the local municipality for support in co-ordinating 

this process. 

�� Mr Sethlare was informed that the Zeus-Perseus may not be the first of the two lines to be 

built and that it may only be constructed in 2011 to 2015. He was also advised that job 

opportunities in power line construction are usually limited. 

�� Mr Willie Bredenkamp – station manager for the Perseus Substation – showed the 

approximate location of the expansion required for the 765kV yard. It will require new land 

to be bought from neighbouring farmers; in particular Mnr Daantjie van der Watt (Farms 

Kentani and Vlaklaagte) tel:05292- Dealesville 1140 (party line). Alternatively contact his 

son, Joopie, on 082-4951596. 

�� Other potentially affected landowners: 

o Fanie Haarof, farm Besempan – 05292-Dealesville 3002 

o NG Collett, farm Goedehoop – 051-8110025 

�� Dealesville Boerevereeniging: Mnr AJ (Nervie) Fourie (farm Kromloop) - 05292- 

Dealesville 2602. 

�� Also visited the Eskom Distribution Technical Services office in Dealesville. Left 

brochures at the station. 

21 Sept: Bultfontein POD 

Present: Jean, Koos & Wonderboy 

�� Mr. Dawie Naude, vice-chairman of Agri Dealesville attended and offered to contact 

his members if other meetings were planned in the area. He supplied details of the 

Chairperson and Secretary of Agri Dealesville 

�� Mr. Lewale stated that he already had Eskom infrastructure on his land and that he 

was a member of the Black Farmers Association. 

�� Several teachers from the local Rainbow High School attended and requested that 

the line provide work for the area and that the line not have a negative effect on the 

environment.

21 Theunissen: POD 

Present: N. Netshilaphala; M. Mahlangu 

�� Eleven people came to the session 

�� Ms Puleng Mabitla from the local ANC office suggested that we structure such civics and 

political organization offices must be used to inform the communities about such projects. 

22 Sept: DWAF Bloemfontein – Mnr Manie Groenewald and Mnr AG Visser 


�� No particular concerns were raised, but the following were noted: 

o New irrigation scheme at Koppies Dam (though only one or two centre-pivots) 

o Canal system downstream of the Allemanskraal and Erfenis dams. No towers 

in the canal servitude (approx 5m wider than the canal – approx 10-15m wide 

servitude). (see 1:50,000s for location of canals). 

o 2-way radio communication station at Theronskop (near Beatrix mine). This is 

for the general DWAF field communication in the region. 

o It was thought that there were no particular problems with interference with 

gauging station radio communications, but this would be confirmed. 

�� DWAF contacts in the Gauteng region (included Vaal Dam & Barrage): 

o Walter van der Westhuizen – 012-3921300, 082-8073527 

o Marinne de Wilder – 016-3711121, 082-8080421 

22 Sept: Dept Agriculture – Bloemfontein (provincial office): Me C Klinck 

Present – Stuart 

�� Me Klinck is a Principal Development Expert 

�� She advised that in addition to farmers, agricultural development schemes may occur in 

the study area and should therefore be included. 

�� Me Klinck took seven copies of the BIDs for a meeting the following day with all the 

regional district representatives. 

�� She would send me a list of their names and contact details. 

22 Sept: Dept Agriculture – Kroonstad (Moqhaka District): Mnr PJ van Wyk 

Present: Koos 

�� Provided a map of the new Free State districts, as well as key contacts for information on 

agricultural land potential (new data – 2003/4). 

23 Sept: Bultfontein DFU 


�� The study was afforded a ‘slot’ in the agenda of the DFU meeting. 

�� A short introduction was given by Koos and a brief presentation was given by Stuart. 

�� BIDs were distributed and landowners were asked to fill in the register if they wanted to 

be registered on the database. 

�� A number of FA representatives were present – Hertzogville, Soutpan and Dealesville. 

There were also landowners from the Theunissen area. 

�� The list of farms had been received by the DFU and copies were given to the FA’s. 

�� Queries raised included: 

o There are a large number of centre-pivots along the proposed routes. Koos 

confirmed these would be avoided if possible. 

o Effects of the Tx lines on GPS systems? No specific problems have been 

reported on other projects, but this will be investigated further. 

o Do the large lines, but particularly the substations affect the weather? 

Records suggest a continual drop in rainfall in the years that Perseus and 

Beta have been operational. Weather effects have not been queried before. It

3 Oct: Vredefort FA 

is seen to be an unlikely influence on rainfall, but this would be investigated 

further. 

o Land prices are low at the moment. Landowners would rather wait until prices 

rise before servitude negotiations start. 

o One owner with an existing 765kV line suggested we should not waste any 

more time and should put the new line next to the existing one. They do not 

affect him in any way. 

o A second owner also reported no problems with the existing 765kV line on 

her property. 

o Another owner expressed the opposite, saying he has two 400kVs on his 

land and he doesn’t want any more. They are the old self supporting 

structures and they take up too much space, and are a nuisance to plough 

around. 

Present Koos van der Merwe, Stuart 

�� 



�� Concerns regarding effects of EMFs on animal fertility. 

�� Effects of power lines on GPS equipment in tractors? 

�� Many secretary birds in the area. 

03 Oct: Grootvlei FA 

Present: D. Wilson; M. Mahlangu 

�� The association is affiliated to Mpumalanga B. V. 

�� One landowner commented that they have seen the study area map in Agri SA 

magazine. 

�� Eskom lines generate veld fires when sparking during dry seasons. 

�� During construction Eskom must try to employ local people and help farm workers that 

are losing their jobs since farming in the area is going through difficult times. [D. Wilson 

stated that construction work is done by independent contractors that use skilled 

personnel and specialized equipments. Eskom can only encourage contractors to 

consider employing local people for jobs that do not need skills such as waste removal, 

bush clearing and catering. 

�� Contractors must pay for setting up construction camps in our properties and they must 

support the local small business of guest houses. [Location of construction camp is 

decided by the contractor who then negotiates with the landowner of the identified spot.] 

�� How and on what basis is compensation done? [D. Wilson: Market related value 

determined by independent professional evaluator is paid per hector. Eskom 

Transmission negotiate directly with the affected landowner]. 

�� Access gates installed by Eskom are of poor quality; they rust fast and sometimes get 

stolen. Eskom employees or contractor then uses landowners’ gates and leave them 

opened. [Liaison officer will be appointed during the construction period to liaise between 

landowners, Eskom and contractor]. An environmental control officer will also be 

appointed to ensure that contractors comply with the EMP. 

�� Landowners want to be consulted on where to put/install gates. [One of the conditions to 

be included in the agreement for servitude will be that gates and access roads will be 

negotiated with the landowner] 

�� The positioning of the pylons must also be negotiated taking into account that 

landowners already have activities going on in their farms and there are some future 

plans that must not be derailed by the line. [Within an identified corridor of 500 m, 

servitude of 80m is plotted and within the servitude pylons can be adjusted slightly].

�� Though there are still problems with Eskom activities on the farms, generally there is 

some improvement in the relationship between Eskom and landowners. 

�� The presence of many infrastructures on the farms has a cumulative effect of EMF. The 

railway line, gas pipes and power lines sterilizes a wider area. [It is difficult to determine 

the EMF that is causing more harm as there are so many electric appliances emitting the 

EMF used in our daily lives. Eskom put restrictions on activities taking place within 

servitude. Outside the servitude the EMF levels are negligibly small.] 

�� Construction vehicles must be careful of hitchoe “krimp varkie” in the area of Grootvlei. 

�� Eskom is requested to join landowners during fire fighting. 

6 Oct: DME – Welkom (Michael Oberholzer) 


�� Noted bentonite mines just north of Koppies 

�� At present DME does not know the full extent of ore bodies. Study team needs to send a 

list of farms that may be affected by the lines and DME will investigate those. However, it 

may take some time. 

�� Need to send a new set of maps to DME showing the possible routes. 

�� Check with the Council for Geosciences for ore bodies. 

6 Oct: Edenville POD 


�� One resident attended the POD. He had received a notice in the post, and had seen the 

poster at the post office. 

�� He did not consider that the new line may affect him. 

06 Oct: Koppies POD 

Present: Jean 

�� Mainly landowners attended this POD which proved to be well attended 

�� Concerns were related to distribution problems in the area and complaints about the 

lack of concern regarding this problem exhibited by the local municipality 

�� EMP concerns were raised 

�� Concerns about further lines going up on farms where existing lines are found were 

raised. 

Between 20-30 BIDs left at municipal offices 

10 Oct: Anglo Coal (Witbank): Mr JJ Badenhorst 


�� BIDs were handed out and background to the project given by SD. 

�� Mr Badenhorst provided a map of the mine areas to the south and east of Sasolburg. 

�� Ms Etresea Fourie, who deals with the planning and mapping of Anglo Coals coal areas, 

will provide maps of the area that may be affected by the new lines. We need to send her 

the co-ordinates of the lines (tel: 013-6915180, hefourie@anglocoal.co.za) 

�� Large areas to the east and immediately south of Sasolburg are undermined. These 

areas should be stable, especially if they have already collapsed (there can be as much 

as a 1m drop in surface levels) 

�� Much of the new mining will be underground, but uncertain if the method of mining will 

allow collapse. 

�� Large areas undermined between Zeus & Standerton, but these should now be stable. 

�� Study team to send co-ordinates of lines.

11 Oct: Hennenman F. A. 


�� The principle concern was to avoid cultivated lands and keep to grasslands as much as 

possible. 

�� There is seen to be a loss in land value if lines cross over cultivated land. No perceived 

loss of land value on grasslands. 

�� Mention was made of the Sand-Vet irrigation scheme. Some farmers in the FA have land 

within the scheme. 


12 Oct: Wolwehoek FA 

Present: Stuart, Dean 

�� High value land along the Vaal River west of Sasolburg due to river frontage. 

�� This was also the area where Sasol was intending to mine coal adjacent to the Vaal River 

and the SAVE campaign was initiated to fight the proposals. 

�� Much of the area to the south and south-west of Sasolburg is relatively high intensity 

agricultural land, including chicken farms, dairy’s (koeihotel) and intensive cropping. 

Grasslands are baled, and towers will interfere with baling equipment. 

�� A truck stop near the N1 has existing lines on it. The owner does not want any towers in 

the truck stop area. 


�� Why can’t Eskom string the new line on existing structures? 

�� Will there be only one new line between Zeus and Mercury? 

�� Does each phase of the line need it’s own tower? (ie will there be three towers next to 

each other, or just one?) 

13 Oct: Theunissen D. F. U. 



�� Potential clients wanting to purchase game farms in the area have turned away from 

farms with existing 765kV lines. There is a perceived loss in land value as a result. 

�� Other comments relating to the visual impact were made in relation to hunting and game 

farms. 

�� Consultants were advised of the Sand-Vet irrigation scheme and the number of irrigation 

schemes along the Vet River. 

�� Advised to rather keep new lines on grasslands instead of crop lands. Generally more 

croplands along the northern 765kV line, but this is not always the case. 

�� Very little baling of grass takes place in this area. 

14 Oct: Heilbron & Edenville D. F. U. 

Present: J. Beater 

�� The Ghoya Conservancy was marked out on the relevant map and a request was 

made that no power lines be put through the conservancy area 

�� Many of those present at the meeting had either attended another DFU meeting 

where the project was explained by one of the team members or had received 

information via mail or through their DFU 

�� Support for the new line to run along side existing power lines 

�� Due to time constraints, the maps could not be looked at by those attending the 

meeting. However, they were encouraged by the Chairperson to send comments to 

Margen and several letters regarding the project were given to me to give to Margen.

17 Oct: Waterval B. V. 

Present: D. Wilson; M. Mahlangu 

�� Where are construction guys going to stay? [Construction camps will be established 

along the route and will be moved on as construction progresses. Construction 

companies will negotiate with landowners on where to put camps.] 

�� Visiting hours to construction camps might pose a security problem to landowners. 

�� What are the chances of expropriation? Is negotiation done in good faith? [Eskom uses 

expropriation as the last resort. If possible Eskom try to avoid expropriation since this is a 

very lengthy and expensive process of acquiring servitude]. 

17 Oct: Soutpan B. V. 

Present: M. Mahlangu 

�� Are these power lines not going to interfere with GPS systems that are used to operate 

tractors? One landowner added that from his experience power lines do not interfere with 

the GPS used for tractors. 

�� One contractor employed by Eskom to replace the rusting anchors of supporting ropes of 

pylons in the area between Dealesville and Soutpan has been chased away because his 

vehicles are driven through cultivated lands and they left pieces of steel materials in the 

veld. This is a hazard to farming equipments. No other Eskom line will be allowed in the 

area unless Eskom make a commitment to look into how contractor do their work in the 

field. 

�� Gates and locks installed by Eskom are not maintained. Eskom employees end up using 

the landowners’ access roads. 

18 Oct: Lagerskraal B. V. (Southern Welkom, along the Sand River) 


�� Power lines passing through Theunissen go through Mr. Frans Schutte’s game farm. The 

EMF from these lines caused cancer to two elands in this game farm. The problem has 

been reported to Eskom. 

�� Landowners in this area are concerned about the presence of power lines on their farms 

as the EMF from these lines is said to reduce the productivity of crops like ground nuts; 

potatoes; maize and “koring”. It is suggested that Eskom must consider putting the line 

through grazing land like Winburg. 

�� Farming in the area is based mainly on centre pivot irrigation system and this is a fertile 

soil along the river. Big capital investment has been made to establish the farming land 

and it is not acceptable that Eskom should put infrastructure that will disturb the farming 

method already established. 

19 Oct: Viljoenskroon DFU 


�� Few landowners considered that they would be affected by the potential routes. 

�� However, farmers along the southern bank of the Renoster River (tributary of the Vaal 

River near Vierfontein) have a higher intensity land use than the northern bank that is 

largely grazing land. The farms along the southern bank are generally smaller as well. 

�� There is great concern that a new line will affect both agricultural productivity and land 

value. 

�� Questions were asked about servitude negotiation, valuations, etc.

19 Oct: Meeting with Mr Wikus van Niekerk, Potchefstroom DFU 

Present – Stuart 

�� Much of the land along the route north of the Vredefort dome area is grazing land. 

However there are farms with croplands and a few centre pivots (near the Vaal River), as 

well as a chicken farm (see map). 

�� One of the farmers with a centre pivot was contacted. The existing 400kV line passes 

directly over centre pivots though at this stage no particular concerns were raised by the 

landowner at the idea that another line may run parallel to this line. Speak to Mr Jack de 

Jager, 083-6296490. 

�� Adalia farm has centre pivots and the existing line. Speak to H Harmse, 018-2911571/3. 

�� Farm Haaskraal (has existing line) speak to Mr P de Wet, 082-5479954. 

�� Farm Vogelzang 467 (?) = Chubby Chick Chicken Farm. 

�� Mr van Niekerk suggested the study team gives a presentation once the DSR is published 

and there is more certainty on the routes. 

19 Oct: Virginia F. A. 

Present: K. v. d. Merwe; M. Mahlangu 

�� Moses presented the project and how consultation will be conducted. Koos explained the 

process of negotiating for servitude. 

�� One landowner indicated that his farm is near Nestor substation (Farm Nieuwe Moed) 

and because of the number of power lines from this substation he finds it very difficult to 

continue with his farming activity. Extra lines through his farm will completely sterilize his 

farm. He has two centre pivots and intends putting two more but these are planned on 

one of the proposed corridors. 

�� The meeting agreed that a presentation be made once it has been confirmed as to which 

alternative is preferred. 

20 Oct: Gelead F. A. (North West of Lindley) 


�� Moses presented the project, the consultation process to be followed and the negotiation 

process to be followed. 

�� Members of the association present indicated that there are no environmental sensitive 

aspects for consideration in the area. Mainly farming is based on grain and livestock. 

�� Farmers are satisfied that once a specific corridor is chosen, further consultation will take 

place and negotiation for a servitude will be done with the involvement of an independent 

valuator for compensation. 

25 Oct: Arlington F. A. (South of Lindley) 


�� Moses presented the project, the consultation process to be followed and the 

negotiation process to be followed. 

�� Members of the association are satisfied that the EIA process is considering all 

known issues as they are listed in the BID and that newly raised issues will be studied 

later in the EIA phase. 

�� It was requested that the association be informed about the chosen corridor for which 

a full EIA was going to be conducted. 

�� Moses stated that the next round of consultation process will be about giving 

feedback on the EIA findings regarding the proposed, preferred corridors.
