    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Twetwa, Siyavuya; Kanyerere, Thokozani
    Alien invasive plants are often end up in landfills after they are removed, where they form part of organic waste. Wood contractors can utilise this organic waste as a source of informal employment, which is also a waste reduction method. The aim of this study was to explore opportunities for job creation through the removal of alien invasive plants, as the basis for developing a business structure that addresses unemployment. First, the impact of alien invasive plants on the environment and water resources was explored. Then, the impact of removed alien invasive plants on the socioeconomic status of people was assessed.

    Using water law enforcement to demonstrate the effectiveness of regulations for the protection of water resources
    (University of the Western Cape, 2021) Smith, Farrel; Kanyerere, Thokozani; Pietersen, Kevin
    The South African National Water Act attracted attention of the international water community as one of the most reformist pieces of water legislation in the world, and a major step forward in the transformation of the concept of integrated water resources management (IWRM) into legislation. However, 20 years later after the National Water Act was promulgated, implementation of the same act has been partially successful. In many aspects, the, implementation has been weak. The argument is that the water law enforcement is not been implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness of regulations for the protection of water resources.
