Cape Town: About Us

SETPLAN Cape Town was established in 1988. The office's principals, Rodney Cronwright and SETPLAN's founder Neville van der Westhuizen, are supported by a team of technical and administrative staff.

Rodney's undergraduate training was in economics and the environmental and geographic sciences, and in his post graduate studies he obtained masters degrees in City & Regional Planning and Business Administration - all at the University of Cape Town. Rodney has 28 years of professional experience and has worked in South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Angola. Since 1993 he has lectured land use planning to final year Geomatics students at UCT.

Neville's undergraduate training was in agricultural management and in his post graduate studies he obtained a masters degree in Town & Regional Planning - both at the University of Stellenbosch. Neville, who has 33 years professional experience, specialises in the field of rural development.

Depending on the expertise required for an assignment, SETPLAN Cape Town teams up with specialists in complementary disciplines on a project basis. In 2004 the office formed an empowerment joint venture with DJ Environmental Consultants, and this partnership practises under the name of iKapa Enviroplan.

1. Policy and Strategy Formulation
