City of Cape Town Quarterly Report - 1 April 2016 to 30 June 2016
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This quarterly report summarises the activities of the Biodiversity Management Branch in the Blaauwberg
Area, specifically in and around the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve (BBNR) for the period from 1 April 2016 to
30 June 2016. This report is designed to meet the basic internal reporting requirements, while at the same
time being written in such a way that stakeholders and role-players can refer to it for information purposes.
The more detailed reporting data and statistics are collated in separate spread sheets that are not part of
this report.
Vision of the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve: To conserve, protect and enhance the unique diversity of natural,
historical and cultural resources of this area for the sustainable enjoyment and development of present and
future generations through education.
Mission of the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve: Through judicious land acquisition and the development of
economically viable conservation and education-related facilities and activities, we aim to secure the
protection of the entire area and ensure its long-term sustainability based on sound ecological and cultural
values.
2. HIGHLIGHTS & CHALLENGES
Highlights:
The author received a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition
of dedicated and generous service to the community in
Blaauwberg Subcouncil 1. The Certificates was handed to
Council Officials at the Subcouncil 1 meeting on 14 June 2016.
Challenges:
Relocation of Residents at Blaauwberg’s vlei. In 2010 the City
concluded a sale agreement with Garden Cities to acquire two
portions of land for incorporation into the Blaauwberg
Conservation Area (BCA), now known as the Blaauwberg
Nature Reserve (BBNR). This sale was registered in the Deeds
Office in January 2011. During negotiations it was recorded that
a family was present and living on the property, and that the
seller would not guarantee vacant occupation of the land.
Legal advice was sought on the matter and the opinion
expressed, given the environmental value of the land, that the
City had no option but to acquire the land subject to the rights
of the residents, notwithstanding that process could be followed
to secure their relocation. As establishment of the BBNR has
moved forward, including the fencing of the nature reserve,
research on the Battle of Blaauwberg with the intension to establishing the site for education and tourism
purposes, and the proposed reintroduction of large antelope, it has become necessary to take action to
relocate the family from the site at which they currently reside informally.
Engagement with the Blaauwbergsvlei residents regarding relocation commenced in 2013, with meetings
held on 3 December 2013, 22 May 2014, 24 June 2014, 2 September 2014 and 25 February 2015 to discuss
the proposal and achieve a mutual agreement. Present at the meetings were the residents and City
officials from department including the Human Settlements (Informal Settlement Management),
Environmental Health, Anti-Land Invasion and Environmental Resource Management. The proposal is to
relocate the Blaauwbergsvlei residents, comprising multi-generational family members (parents, their adult
children with their partners and young children: effectively 3 family units) to Wolwerivier Incremental
Development Area (IDA) where 3 housing units had been identified for their occupation. These units have
access to sanitation, water and electricity, something the family currently does not have.

3. CONSERVATION PLANNING
Cape Town is well known for its exceptionally unique and diverse natural heritage. The City’s nature reserves
are the backbone of our green open spaces and we need to ensure that these sites are protected for
future generations. Many of the sites were not properly proclaimed or were proclaimed under old and
outdated legislation. After an extensive public participation process, Council resolved in June 2011 that the
Environmental Resource Management Department could proceed with the process to have the City’s 14
nature reserves proclaimed in terms of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 2003
(Act 57 of 2003). Minister Anton Bredell, in his capacity as Provincial Minister of Local Government,
Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in the Western Cape, has provided the full intention to
declare, including the property descriptions.
The City of Cape Town established Protected Area Advisory Committees (PAACs) for its nature reserves and
protected natural environments across the City. The establishment of the PAACs were in accordance with
the terms of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, Act 57 of 2003. The nature
reserves and proclaimed natural environments for which Advisory Committees were established include:
Blaauwberg, Bothasig Fynbos, Botterblom, Bracken (including Perdekop), Durbanville, Edith Stephens, False
Bay (including Rondevlei, Zeekoevlei, Pelican Park, Slangetjiebos, Zandwolf and Strandfontein Birding Area),
Helderberg (including Silwerboomkloof), Harmony Flats, Lourens River, Steenbras, Table Bay (including
Rietvlei, Diep River, Milnerton Racecourse and Zoarvlei), Tygerberg, Uitkamp Wetland, Witzands Aquifer,
Wolfgat, and Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve. The Advisory Committees replaced all existing Advisory
Boards and Steering Committees and their objective is to facilitate interaction, communication,
engagement and the development of partnerships with stakeholders and surrounding communities to
promote the objectives of the nature reserves and natural areas. Committees are mandated to give advice
and input on strategies, management plans and reports, as well as monitor progress of implementation,
promote involvement in decision-making and facilitate linkages and integration of nature reserves with
surrounding communities.
4. FLORA
Three major vegetation types are found in Blaauwberg Nature Reserve, each corresponding to a specific
geological substratum. Cape Flats Dune Strandveld (endangered) occupies the coastal calcareous sands,
in general between Blaauwberg Hill and the high-water mark. Two major plant formations are recognised,
namely tall thicket on the higher dunes, with deep sand and dwarf thicket on the shallow sand over
limestone, largely near the coast. The latter form of dune thicket is unique to the area. Vegetation is
dominated by broad-leaved shrubs and small trees such as Rhus sp. (taaibos) and Euclea racemosa (sea
guarrie), with a fair degree of succulents. Annuals and bulbs are a prominent feature in spring.
A vegetation type restricted to the more fertile shale soils of the Western Cape is Swartland Shale
Renosterveld 9critically endangered), which is found on Blaauwberg Hill and Kleinberg. Although severely
affected by agriculture, there still are remnant stands of the vegetation type in the area, particularly on the
upper slopes and crown of the hill. Along the tip of the crown one also finds a patch of low succulent
shrubs, which are related to the vegetation of the Little Karoo.
The third vegetation type is also dependent on sand, namely the acidic sand on the eastern side of
Blaauwberg Hill. This is termed Cape Flats Sand Fynbos (critically endangered), and is typified by the
presence of characteristic fynbos families such as Proteaceae, Ericaceae, Restionaceae (reeds) and
boegoes. The vegetation comprises short to medium-high shrubs, interspersed with reeds. Succulents and
broad-leaved shrubs are not prominent. Fynbos in the study area is largely confined to small remnants on
Joyce’s Dairy Farm, having been greatly reduced through agriculture and extensive Acacia sp. infestations.
Uncontrolled fires have also had a considerable impact. However, these areas are restorable.

Blaauwberg Ecological Restoration Project (by Pat Holmes)
The Biodiversity Management Branch has initiated a large-scale ecological restoration project east of
Blaauwberg Hill in the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve (1500 ha). Over 400ha of dense invasive alien vegetation
(mainly the Australian Wattle species Acacia saligna – known as Port Jackson Willow) will be cleared and
restored to Critically Endangered Cape Flats Sand Fynbos over a period of several years.
This project includes an important research component that resulted from collaborations between the
Millennium Seed Bank Project (MSB) of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Stellenbosch University and City of
Cape Town, initiated at the Fynbos Forum. The MSB aims to store seeds for 25% of the world’s flora and to
also use this resource in ecosystem and species restoration projects. The MSB has provided bursaries and
running costs for two full-time post-graduate research students in return for some seed collections towards
meeting their target. The Centre for Invasion Biology hosts the funding and co-supervises the post graduate
students and the MSB at Kirstenbosch assist with seed collection and storage. One of the funded studies will
investigate optimal restoration treatments and test ecological theory relating to thresholds of degradation.
The other project investigates the seed ecology of species that will be important to use in the active
restoration component. The project has captured the imagination of researchers and additional studies
have been done by Stellenbosch University on small mammal ecology, soil microbial ecology and alien
follow-up clearance methods in relation to the restoration. It is intended that results of the research will feed
directly into management and in this case optimal restoration interventions.

City of Cape Town Quarterly Report - 1 April 2016 to 30 June 2016
This project would not be possible without the enthusiastic support of both the City Invasive Species Unit
under Louise Stafford, who coordinates the alien clearance teams (including the EPWP programme), and
onsite management by Blaauwberg Nature Reserve staff under the guidance Jacques Kuyler. Alien
clearance commenced in September 2012 and the experimental area of 76ha was cleared by March 2012
in time to apply the ecological burning treatments. Four alien clearance treatments are being trialled in
1ha–sized plots: Fell & Burn in early autumn (with high and low fuel loads); Fell & Stack, burn stack in winter
(with high and low fuel loads) – see experimental design map. The block burn was done on April 4 th 2013.
Post-fire regeneration of the alien also
necessitates intensive follow-up control and
various treatments are being tested.
Site restoration potential was assessed by City
staff who walked 13 transects through the study
area in May 2012 to map aerial cover of fynbos
vegetation remaining under the dense aliens, as
a surrogate for restoration potential. In addition,
the GIS intern used historical imagery to map
land cover classes that may influence
restoration
potential,
including
previously
ploughed areas, duration of alien invasion and
fires, to supplement the survey information.
Many fynbos species have long-lived seed
banks stored in the soil and it is intended to use
this resource, in addition to sowing treatments,
to restore the veld. However, restoration is a
long-term process and several fire cycles may
be required to restore plant and animal
community composition to all areas. It will be
very exciting to see how the veld responds to
the restoration treatments and one day to enjoy
the drive to Blaauwberg Hill without being
hemmed in by Australian wattles on all sides! The
City Restoration Nursery and Kirstenbosch
Botanical Garden are assisting the recovery
process by propagating some plants to establish
at the restoration site.

5. FAUNA
The Cape Flats Dune Strandveld is known for its exceptional concentrations of certain faunal groups, and is
also recognised as one of the hot spots of species richness and endemism of national vertebrate and insect
groups. Fauna groups are well represented, with 40 mammal species having been recorded. A
management plan with management guidelines for larger wildlife and their habitats has been compiled by
Ken Coetzee in 2008. The plan gives an overview of the historical incidence of larger mammals, a
description of their habitats and habitat conditions, suitable species for introduction and species review,
habitat and game introduction management implications, and wildlife management and monitoring. It is
the future vision of Blaauwberg Nature Reserve to introduce larger wildlife species suitable to the area, to
enhance the management of the vegetation cover and ecological processes. Species earmarked for re-

introduction include Taurotragus oryx (Eland), Alcelaphus buselaphus (Red hartebeest) and Pelea capreolus
(Grey Rhebok).
Over 160 bird species have been recorded in Blaauwberg Nature Reserve. These include, but are not
limited to, Bubo africanus (Spotted Eagle-Owl), Buteo rufofuscus (Jackal Buzzard), Buteo vulpinus (Steppe
Buzzard), Falco peregrinus (Peregrine Falcon), Haematopus moquini (African Black Oystercatcher) and
Merops apiaster (European Bee-eater). Sightings of species are recorded monthly and submitted on the
South African Biodiversity Database. Planned coordinated waterbird counts (CWACs) are done quarterly
and Black Oystercatcher censuses are done bimonthly between the months of October to March.
Thirty reptile species have been recorded. Common species include Acontias meleagris (Cape Legless
Skink), Bradypodion pumilum (Cape Dwarf Chameleon), Chersina angulata (Angulate Tortoise), Cordylus
cordylus (Cape Girdled Lizard), Dasypeltis scabra (Common Eggeater), Lamprophis inornatus (Olive House
Snake), Naja nivea (Cape Cobra), Psammophylax rhombeatus (Rhombic Skaapsteker), Pseudaspis cana
(Mole Snake), Trachylepis capensis (Cape Skink) and the rarer Scelotes montispectus (Blaauwberg Dwarf
Burrowing Skink).
Four amphibian species have been recorded. These are Breviceps namaquensis (Namaqua Rain Frog),
Breviceps rosei (Sand Rain Frog), Strongylopus grayii (Clicking Stream Frog) and Vandijkophrynus
angusticeps (Sand Toad).
Figure 9 A Pit Bull Terrier was
picked up at Kreeftebaai
coastal parking area. The
terrier was believed to have
escaped from Melkbosstrand
and was walking along the
beach without an owner when
it was caught. The animal was
taken to the West Coast
Animal Clinic for treatment
and care.
Figure 10 & 11 Andy & Irene Vermeulen (FoBCA) removed a large beehive in the WWII Generator Room on 23 April 2016. No evidence of return
or re-establishment of hive was found on inspection following the removal.
They recommended blocking or netting of the ventilation hole to avoid
any re-occurrence within the building. Andy has shared the photos with
other bee keepers and reports that this is the largest removal and re-siting
of a Cape Honey bee hive that they are aware of.

Blaauwberg Nature Reserve staff completed minor repairs and maintenance of Military Road.
7. WATER
The area has a warm, temperate, Mediterranean-type climate, with dry, hot summers and cool, wet winters.
The average summer temperatures rise to about 28 °C, while average winter temperatures reach 17 °C. The
hottest time of the year is between January and March, although these summer temperatures are
tempered by the cold Atlantic water and the frequent summer fog. The lowest temperatures occur in July,
but frost remains rare in the area.
The West Coast is a winter rainfall area, with about 75% of the annual rainfall occurring between April and
September. Summers are generally very dry. The rainfall is mainly cyclonic as a result of cold fronts moving
from the South Atlantic Ocean, and decreases rapidly as one moves north-west up the coast. This is due to
the presence of the cold Benguela current, which inhibits cloud development.
Fog out at sea regularly drifts inland for up to 3 km. This occurs mostly in summer, when south-easterly winds
cause an upwelling of cold water along the coast. The moisture supplied by the fog, together with that from
heavy dew, compensates somewhat for the lack of summer rainfall. The frequency of the fog increases
from south to north, and has a moderating effect on summer temperatures.

City of Cape Town Quarterly Report - 1 April 2016 to 30 June 2016
In summer, the prevailing wind is south/south-east, while in winter, the north-westerly predominates. Wind is
an important factor influencing the nature of the coastal vegetation. In summer, the hot and dry offshore
winds cause the plants to dry out, while the salt-laden on-shore winds constantly stunt the new growth of the
coastal shrubs, resulting in the characteristic ‘wind-pruned’ effect.

The Friends of the BCA organised a guided 5-6 km Battlefield Walk & Talk on Sunday 8 May 2016. Hikers
were shown the route taken by British 1st Brigade after their march from Melkbosstrand into position under
the blistering sun on 8th January 1806. The trail follows in the footsteps of the 2nd Brigade - Scottish Highland
Regiments as they charged the Batavian line, and establish where General Janssen’s assembled his
Batavian defence line against the invading British force. A map and brief story of the Battle were provided
to assist in understanding of this historic event which influenced Africa.

The Friends of the Blaauwberg Conservation Area (FoBCA) in partnership with the Department of
Archaeology, University of Cape Town established a Research Project on the Battle of Blaauwberg to
establish the exact location of the battle field of 1806. The Battle of Blaauwberg occurred in January 1806
when the British took possession of the Cape from the Dutch \ Batavia for the second time. During 2013 the

Battle of Blaauwberg Interest Group (FoBCA) has accumulated a vast amount of information archive
research concerning the battle and its aftermath. The exact location of the battle line still remains unclear:
contradictory reports and inaccurate mapping being the cause. All current maps show the position of the
battle to the west of Blaauwberg Vlei farm. However a scientific Archaeological investigation is required
and with this objective Friends of the Blaauwberg Conservation Area (FoBCA) in partnership with
Department of Archaeology, University of Cape Town established a Research Project on the Battle of
Blaauwberg to establish the exact location of the battle field of 1806 in accordance with Heritage Western
Cape Permit 130725TS33 which expires 21 August 2016. This Archaeological Research project will explain the
process of troop engagement on 8th January 1806 and location of the defending Batavian troops. This
Battle occurred within the Portion 10 and 11 of the Cape Farm 431 and 1141 which was declared a National
Monument under the National Monuments Act of 1969. It is protected under the National Heritage
Resources Act (NHRA Act 25 of 1995) as a provincial heritage site. The site is protected under Section 35
(archaeology) and Section 36 of the NHRA (burials and war graves). This area is now within the Blaauwberg
Nature Reserve, City of Cape Town.
An archaeological investigation of an early 19th century rural farmyard at Blaauwbergsvalley in the Western
Cape. Marius Breytenbach presented on his Masters Degree Research Application on the archaeological
investigation of an early 19th century rural farmyard at Blaauwbergsvalley in the Western Cape. The aim of
this project is to assess the archaeological record of the late 18th and early 19th century rural farmyard
Blaauwbergsvalley, on the outskirts of Cape Town. Blaauwbergsvalley’s archaeological record is significant
for various reasons: Firstly a part of the historic Battle of Blaauwberg, which in 1806 inaugurated many years
of British rule in South Africa, took place on the farm. Secondly the farmhouse, belonging to Justinus Keer at
the time of the battle, was converted into a field hospital where Batavian and English soldiers were treated
for ten days after the battle. The location of the farmhouse is an important point of reference to orient and
reconstruct battle related events.

11. LAW ENFORCEMENT
In wishing to ensure the safety of visitors and staff at City of Cape Town reserves, a comprehensive safety
and security assessment was commissioned and undertaken by Plan-It, in collaboration with Thorn-Ex, in
March 2010. Owing to budgetary constraints, only 12 priority nature reserves were selected for the
assessment, one of them being Blaauwberg Nature Reserve. The results from the audit identified
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve as having a medium threat level, with the largest threat being posed by illegal
access/trespassing, mainly due to a lack of patrol coverage. Currently, Blaauwberg Nature Reserve security
is managed by conservation staff based at the Eerste Steen Resort Office. Access to the inland section of
the reserve is difficult due to its relative inaccessibility and the time it takes to get there from Eerste Steen.
Daytime security at the resort’s gate is provided on contract by a private security firm. The coastal frontage
increases risk through the illegal, organised extraction of Haliotis midae (abalone). Evidence has been
found of woodcutting east of the R27, and frequent poaching with dogs east of the R27, which is outside
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve. Snares have also been found in the same area and along the railway tract.
The infrequent patrols along the eastern boundary as well as the encroaching informal settlement
development pose an increasing security risk to the reserve. The nearest police station is at Melkbosstrand,
with Big Bay Law Enforcement being available from Big Bay.
Notice of Intention (NoI) to issue a Directive in terms of Section 31A of the Environment Conservation Act, 73
of 1989 (ECA), was served on a homeowner of Strathblane Road by the City of Cape Town on 28 July 2015.
Following the NoI, written representation was received from the homeowner (via e-mail) on 4 August 2015
with the intention to defend this matter. The City has considered other information submitted to it during the
course of its investigation into this matter. In light of the representations received the City has reason to
believe that an activity was performed, and as a result of which the environment was or may be seriously
damaged, endangered or detrimentally affected. The activity referred to is the encroachment of a private
garden on City-owned property. Having regard to all of the abovementioned factors as well as the
environmental principles contained in the National Environmental Management Act, 107 of 1998 (NEMA),
the City directed the homeowner to cease further encroachment onto the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve
and to take steps, with a view to eliminate, reduce or prevent the damage, danger or detrimental effect on
the environment.
Theft of and out of motor vehicles in the coastal parking areas. The prevention of theft of and out of motor
vehicles in the coastal parking areas continues to be a challenge. The most targeted coastal parking areas
include Holbaai, Haakgat and Kelpbaai. From 01.01.2011 until 30.07.2013 there have been 68 cases of theft
out of motor vehicles reported to Melkbosstrand SAPS. Three motor vehicles were stolen in November 2013,
December 2013 and December 2015 respectively. This is of huge concern to the nature reserve,
Melkbosstrand SAPS and the Melkbosstrand Neighbourhood Watch. A meeting was held with law
enforcement agencies (SAPS, Law Enforcement; Biodiversity Management and the Neighbourhood Watch)
to address this issue and formulate an action plan.
The installation of a fence around the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve is progressing well. This brings with it the
prospect of introducing eland, red hartebeest and grey rhebok to one of Cape Town's largest conservation
areas and forms part of the City’s efforts to create financially sustainable reserves to boost its conservation
efforts. The envisaged introduction of game to the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve aims to bolster the visitor
experience and increase the biodiversity footprint. Now that the Environmental Resource Management
Page 22 of 25
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve | Blaauwberg -natuurreservaat | ULondolozo lweNdalo Blaauwberg
City of Cape Town Quarterly Report - 1 April 2016 to 30 June 2016
Department is in the process of fencing the inland section of the Blaauwberg Nature Reserve, the prospect
of introducing game to one of Cape Town's largest natural assets of its kind has become more viable.
The fencing project was funded by the Department of Environmental Affairs through the Expanded Public
Works Programme at an estimated cost of R8 million. It is considered a 'developing reserve' and currently
the publically owned land is 1 445 ha in extent. In City terms, this constitutes a very large nature reserve and
could in fact allow for the reintroduction of large mammals to the area such as eland, red hartebeest and
grey rhebok. However, this will have to be done in terms of the Nature Reserve Faunal Management Plan.
Litter clean-up
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve staff cleaned up the
Battlefield Trail during this quarter. Several bags of litter
left by woodcutters were removed including tyres and
oil drums.
Roy Fuller-Gee reported a squatter camp in
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve on the eastern slope
of Kleinberg on 04/06/2016. Law Enforcement &
Compliance was notified to take action and
remove the person and structure.
Vandalism of Kelpbaai viewing deck.
Melkbosstrand SAPS arrested a male suspect at
Kelpbaai viewing deck in connection with the
vandalism of the wooden deck. Four of the hand rails,
two side rails, two steps and the EPWP WftC signboard
were damaged. The suspect was admitted to Somerset
Hospital's Psychiatric Ward for evaluation.
Prohibition on picking of flora in a provincial or
local nature reserve.
Koos Retief and Clinton Roux (Table Bay Nature
Reserve) apprehended four male suspects in the
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve Coastal Section on
suspicion of picking of flora in a provincial/local
nature reserve. The Nature and Environmental
Conservation Ordinance, 1974 (Ordinance 19 of
1974), Section 14 states:
No person shall—

(b) pick any flora,
in a provincial or local nature reserve unless he or
she is in possession of a permit authorising him or
her to do so. The suspects were taken to Table
View SAPS and charged under the Ordinance
with the assistance from Cape Nature.
Helicopter over Blaauwberg Nature Reserve. On Tuesday 24 May 2016 at approximately 13:11 staff of the
Blaauwberg Nature Reserve observed a Huey Helicopter flying at a very low altitude over the Blaauwberg
Nature Reserve. This contravenes the Cautionary Notice regarding Minimum Heights and in particular, Flying
Altitudes over Nature Reserves or Heritage Sites. The incident was reported to the South African Civil Aviation
Authority.
