CIRCULAR 3/2008:  TECHNICAL CORRECTION OF MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES

 

In Circular 1/2008 you have been informed that, since the Board’s establishment, the Board’s technology has been improved considerably. Over the past year satellite imagery has also been improved dramatically due to close co-operation with the CSIR and others.

 

With the assistance of the IEC and StatsSA, a number of municipal boundaries have been identified for technical corrections as per the attached notice.

 

This notice will also be published in the media.

 

You are kindly requested to visit the Board’s web-site www.demarcation.org.za to view the maps for these technical corrections.

 

Should you disagree with a particular technical correction, please send the DEM number and your comments by email to Robert@demarcation.org.za or by fax to 012-3422480. Those cases will then have to be considered by the Board for rejection at this point in time, and further attention will be given to them after the 2011 local elections.

 

It should be noted that this opportunity to correct municipal boundaries, is NOT an opportunity to submit new requests for boundary changes to the Board.

 

The sole purpose of this exercise is to clean up the current spatial data sets, so that the Board, the  IEC, and StatsSA  can work on the same and corrected data set for the alignment of voting district boundaries in 2008, the national and provincial elections in 2009, the ward delimitation process in 2009/10, and for Census 2011.

 

The Board hopes that these technical corrections to municipal boundaries, together with the cases mentioned in Circular 1/2008, will conclude changes to municipal boundaries.

 

To ensure compliance to the timeframes provided to you in previous circulars, any new requests for changes to municipal boundaries, which may be submitted to the Board in terms of Section 22 of the Demarcation Act, 1998, will have to stand over till after the 2011 local elections.

 

The Board is looking forward to your kind cooperation in getting the outstanding cases, including the technical correction, finalised before the end of May 2008.

 

Yours sincerely
