Rhino Oil and Gas Exploration South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Rhino Oil and Gas) has lodged an application for an exploration right with the Petroleum Agency South Africa (PASA) in terms of Section 79 of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (MPRDA) and an application for environmental authorisation of exploration activities in terms of Section 24(5) of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (NEMA). The application is subject to a Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process that is being undertaken in terms of the EIA Regulations 2014 (GNR 982, 8 December 2014). PASA accepted the Scoping Report on 10 June 2016, indicating that the EIA may proceed.

 

Scope Changes: Subsequent to the Scoping Report, Rhino Oil and Gas reduced the extent of the ER application area through exclusion of all protected areas. Rhino Oil and Gas has also reviewed additional geological data, determined that certain areas are unlikely to be prospective and has excluded these areas. A map of the revised application area is available from SLR Consulting (Pty) Ltd (SLR). Rhino Oil and Gas has also excluded ground-based exploration activities (core hole drilling and seismic surveys) from the application for environmental authorisation. The current focus of the application and the related environmental assessment work is now only on remote exploration techniques (including analysis of existing data & aerial full tensor gradiometry gravity survey). If approved, Rhino Oil and Gas would be in a position to conduct the remote exploration techniques. Should Rhino Oil and Gas propose in future to conduct ground based exploration activities they would need to make further application to PASA and undertake a separate environmental assessment and authorisation process. A benefit of this revised approach is that future applications and assessments of ground based exploration activities would be focused on specified sites.

This notice serves to inform Interested & Affected Parties (I&APs) that SLR has prepared an environmental impact report (EIR), including an environmental management programme. The purpose of the EIR is to summarise the EIA process followed to date; provide an overview of the proposed project and the affected environment; present the assessment of the potential impacts; and set out the recommended mitigation measures. The EIR is being made available to I&APs for a 30-day comment period from the 13th of September 2016 until the 14th of October 2016. Copies of the EIR have been placed at the following locations for public review:

The EIR is also available to download from the SLR website. To do so, please visit: http://www.ccaenvironmental.co.za/sub-oil-gas-minerals/. Alternatively, contact SLR and an electronic copy of the EIR can be emailed or provided on CD. An executive summary of the EIR is also available on request in English or isiZulu.

August is considered Women’s Month, officially celebrated on the 9th August 2016.

 

To celebrate women in their uniqueness, Diverse Human Resources hosted a table of amazing women, who are ‘in business’ or as the one poster

said “Women Mean Business”.

 

We were so proud to have Nola from Cunningpac, Brenda from Brennell Desserts, Caroline from DHR, Jenny from JAW, Tracy from ABSFood, Shelley from XTec, Melissa from Ramsay Engineering, Daphne from Nashua PMB and Cassy Fourie from The Midmar Group join us. Melanie our PCB CEO joined in welcoming our guests.

 

We were also celebrating being in business for more than 6 years. Our very special clients have contributed to our success as we have contributed to theirs. Unfortunately, our male clients were not 100% committed to the dress code for the event, so they sadly could not join us on the day.

Dear Winterskloof Security Members,

Garden season is upon us. Keep abreast with the gardens you can visit in the Events calendar with Hilton Garden Club. 

MommyHeart is the fulfilment of a dream of two friends committed to and passionate about antenatal education and postnatal support. We are both registered nurses and midwives, and in addition to this we are both mums, and have experienced fairly recently, and in an ongoing way, the trials and triumphs of this incredible journey into motherhood.

Spring is upon us. The weather is warmer, the days are longer and the idea of long lazy afternoons in the sun feels like a reality again - and don’t forget Christmas!

 

All that celebration and indulgence with family and friends!

Bravacious Hilton is a lingerie company focused on getting women professionally fitted into their correct bra size. With as much as 85% of women not wearing the correct bra size, it’s no wonder most ladies feel frustrated by their bras. Wearing a correctly fitted bra not only makes you feel good but improves how your clothes look on your body. We currently stock sizes from 30E – 40H. This will expand as we grow.

 

We pride ourselves in the outstanding high quality of our imported products, the luxurious fabrics and the range of styles we offer. Set in a peaceful, discreet, private studio, Bravacious Hilton is there to assist you with all your lingerie requirements whether it’s everyday bras, bridal, nursing or sports bras that you are looking for.

 

In the personalised consultation, ladies will not only be fitted into their correct bra size, but also be informed what to look for in a good fitting bra. Every woman deserves to feel feminine, beautiful, and confident.

 

Bravacious Hilton is an extension of the Johannesburg based company Bravacious which was founded by Celine Mainguy in 2012. Having trained and gained experience in the lingerie industry in the UK, Celine decided it was about time women, especially large busted ladies also had the choice to buy not only great fitting comfortable bras, but also beautiful elegant lingerie.

It was through her own experience of ill-fitting bras that Dawn Ehlers, the owner of Bravacious Hilton met Celine in 2013. Dawn was amazed at how something as simple as a good fitting bra could enhance not only her body shape but also her confidence levels. A friendship developed and when Dawn moved from Johannesburg to Hilton, both ladies knew it was the perfect opportunity to expand the business.

Say goodbye to unsupportive, unfashionable bras and say hello to gorgeous lingerie that you won’t want to take off!

We operate on an appointment only basis to ensure our valued clients get the undivided attention they deserve.

Bravacious Hilton officially opens on Monday 5th September 2016. Please contact Dawn on 082 775 7405 to book your personalised fitting.
