border-left: 1px solid #3366CC;" BGCOLOR="#000066" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <bR> <div> Tulbagh, 1 June, 2003</div> <div> Eskom is planning to construct a 765 KV Transmission line as part of the Cape Strengthening Project through the middle of the Tulbagh Valley as the 'Preferred Route' to supplement the electricity needs of the Western Cape and the Cape Town metropolitan area especially. The inhabitants of Tulbagh and the neighboring areas of Wolseley, Riebeek Kasteel, Gouda and Ceres are up in arms over the devastating impact and effects that a power line of this magnitude will have on this beautiful valley and the potential negative impact that it will have on Tourism, Property Values and much needed Investment and Job Creation in the area. Other towns where the proposed Transmission Lines are to pass close to are, Beaufort West, Merweville, Prince Alfred's Hamlet, Hermon and Malmesbury. Of concern are also possible health risks, probable sterilization in terms of development potential, probable adverse effects on the flora and fauna and risk to crop spraying aircraft, farming machinery etc.  An Action Committee has been formed and the process is being investigated. Eskom has provided a copy of the Environmental Impact Assessment Study that was submitted to the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and is consulting with the community in an endeavor to be transparent and cooperative. </div> <div> <B>A campaign to save Tulbagh from what can be seen as it's second major catastrophe since the 1969 earthquake is gaining momentum!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Tulbagh Action Commitee</B></div> <div> John Veschini : Chairperson  +27 82 653 8229</div> <div> Kenton Bagshaw : +27 23 2300593</div> <div> Andrew Buttle : +27 20 2300159</div> <bR> <div> An indication of the magnitude of the visual impact that these Transmission lines will have on Tulbagh and the Valley is illustrated by diagrams which come directly from the EIA document. A map (also from that document) of the proposed route and alternative routes proposed is illustrated below for general information.</div> <bR> <div> Figure 2:  Cross Rope suspension type (possible 44m 'average' height). The scale of magnitude is indicated by the Wind Pump and vehicle standing below. The typical 'average' power line which one is accustomed to seeing would be more of less the height of the dotted line above the wind pump. <B>Another way of comparing the magnitude of the structure, is to equate it with a building with and average floor height between floor levels of approximately 3,250 meters. </B> <B>In which case, a structure such as the one proposed in this diagram, would be a whopping 13,53 storeys high!</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="41ba4300.gif" border=0 width="420" height="304" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <bR> <bR> <div> Figure 3:  Guyed suspension type (possible 41m 'average' height).</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="3e4a8480.gif" border=0 width="424" height="328" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> Figure 4:  Self-supporting tower</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="3e38f670.gif" border=0 width="399" height="359" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The Map cropped from a map in the current document shows the route chosen by Eskom to be the best alternative of the two routes investigated. The yellow route is Eskom's preferred route. The route marked green is planned to run parallel to the existing 2 x 400KV power lines near Wolseley, one of which is intended to traverse the valley.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="427d7970.gif" border=0 width="471" height="407" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Other areas that will be affected by the proposed Transmission line from Beaufort West  to the Koeberg nuclear power station are indicated on separate pages that can be reached by clicking on the links below. On these maps, one can see the magnitude of the proposed line, the areas where the line could severely impact and this include areas beyond this valley. Of course, the onus falls upon those communities to take a responsible stand if they feel that the line will impact on their lives negatively. It is therefore recommended that they too, interact with Eskom in respect of this proposal.</div> <div> It could be be considered as unfair to the broader community along the route, if farmers/land owners and especially the custodians of State Forests/Nature Conservation Land, that has been entrusted into their care for the benefit of the community, to be satisfied to expect a financial consideration/compensation from Eskom for allowing the line to cross their land without giving some thought towards other communities that might suffer from what could be considered by others to be the results of a selfish, irresponsible and short-sighted attitude?</div> <div> Similarly, the question must be asked of those communities of the highly populated Cape Town Metropolitan area, as to whether their needs for additional electricity, should be achieved at the expense of the lesser communities along the proposed route?</div> <div> <B>The effects of the proposed Power Line will be disastrous for the development of Tourism and the opportunities that are being created for the broader community as a result of the increasing popularity of the area and Tulbagh in particular.</B>  Tulbagh has about 500 beds available and these beds need to be filled. The demand for accommodation is increasing steadily as a result of the valley becoming a chosen weekend retreat for the city dwellers of the Cape Metropolitan area, a country wedding venue, a definite must for overseas visitors wishing to view the famous Historic Church Street, Bird Watchers, Wine Lovers, Horse riders, Mountain Climbers, Hikers, 4 x 4 Off-roaders, Mountain bikers and nature lovers in general. The spin-offs of these activities and attractions to creating jobs in the community for the previously disadvantaged members of the community and for Black empowerment cannot be underestimated. Tulbagh has at times had all it's accommodation filled just for a few wedings! Must the community loose their livelyhoods and the potential for jobs for their children on account of a Power Line?</div> <div> <B>What are the alternatives to this line?</B> That is the question that all should be asking themselves surely!  Is enough investigation being done towards finding suitable alternative sources of fuel for power generation, such as Wind, Solar Power, Natural Gas, or the much publisized Nuclear Pebble-Bed reactors? </div> <div> In these days of 'so called' modern technological achievements in sustainable energy sources or alternatives, there has to be acceptable and cost effective alternative and even non-nuclear sources, such as the Wind Turbine generators, or Gas Fired generators, possibly fueled from the new and substantial Natural Gas fields recently said to have been discovered off Saldana Bay or power generated from the sun? Actually, it appears as though the Western Cape has it all! Sun, Wind and Gas?</div> <bR> <div> <B>Questions have to be asked;</B></div> <div> <B>1.) Whether the Community Participation Process undertaken by Eskom was adaquate?</B></div> <div> <B>(It appears as though few people knew about the proposed Power Line, those that knew, assumed it was the same size as the existing Power Lines and generally most thought it was to be positioned adjacent to the existing lines.)</B></div> <div> <B>2.) Should this process be undertaken again and this time with the WHOLE community being involved and being informed?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>To see the maps, click on the links below!</B></div> <bR> <DIV
