EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Approximately half the area of Zululand District is under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities while the remainder is divided between commercially owned farms and conservation areas. The district is characterised by the following: 77% of its population is living in rural areas, high levels of unemployment, poverty and low levels of education. The unemployment rate is 56%, 34% of the population have no income, 70% earn R9 600 per year and less, 23% have no education.

Another problem is poor access to basic facilities and services. A high number of the population depends on rivers, streams, springs and boreholes for water, while a sizeable number have no sanitation facilities, and only a limited number have access to a formal waste disposal system.

An overview of household access to infrastructure in the district shows an improvement from 34% in 1996 to 46% in 2009. The increase in electricity connections is the biggest infrastructure achievement in the municipality.

Zululand district municipality was granted financially unqualified with other matters audit opinions from 2005/6 to 2009/10 in succession. There was also an improvement in four of the five local municipalities, with them achieving financially unqualified with other matters opinions by 2009/10. eDumbe is the only municipality which remained with a disclaimer over the whole period between 2005/6 to 2009/10.

Zululand District Municipality is not directly identified by the comprehensive assessment of the state of Kwazulu-Natal municipalities as one that has serious challenges requiring immediate intervention. In terms of service delivery, however, the 2007 Community census identified more than 40% of people in the district as without access to water (46.9%), sanitation (49.3%) and electricity (43.1%).

In terms of its Municipal Turn-Around Strategy the Zululand District Municipality has identified access to and maintenance of water and sanitation as the priority. Intervention and technical support are required from DWA and MIG.

Four of the five local municipalities in the Zululand District have been classified as in the category of most vulnerable by DCoG in terms of functionality, socio-economic profile and backlog status. This profile confirms that infrastructure prioritisation in Zululand District should focus on improved access to water and sanitation, as well as the required maintenance of existing infrastructure.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview1

Zululand District Municipality extends over an area of 15 307 sq km. Within its five local municipalities, namely eDumbe, uPhongolo, Abaqulusi, Nongoma and Ulundi, live about 780 490 people in six urban areas and 866 dispersed rural settlements. Approximately half the area is under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities while the remainder is divided between commercially owned farms and conservation areas. The two best developed towns in Zululand District Municipality are Vryheid and Ulundi. Vryheid is the main commercial, industrial and business centre, with well developed physical, social and institutional infrastructure.

It is well located at the intersection of the major transport routes that traverse the region. Ulundi has a larger population but a narrower economic base, relying heavily on government services, commerce and informal trading. It is located on a secondary route within the district, 19 kilometres from the main R34 route. eMondlo is another significant urban area. It is primarily a residential area with limited services and facilities and few employment opportunities. Pongola and Paulpietersburg are small towns that act as service centres, while Nongoma fulfils the same role but with far fewer and lower-order services.

The district is relatively remote from major development centres and the main growth corridors along the N3 and N2 roads. The coal-line corridor from Mpumulanga runs through Ulundi, Vryheid and Paulpietersburg to Richards Bay. However, the dedicated coal trains on this specialized system only stop in Zululand to change crews. Up to the early 1990s, Zululand’s economic base depended heavily on coal mining, supported by agriculture, transport, trade and government services. By 2000 all but one (Zululand Anthracite Colliery) of the large-scale mining operations had closed. Although tourism has started to play a larger role, it does not yet fill the gap caused by the closing of the mines. That has had an impact on all economic sectors.

The district is characterised by the following: 77% of its population is living in rural areas, high levels of unemployment, poverty and low levels of education. The unemployment rate is 56%, 34% of the population have no income, 70% earn R9 600 per year and less, 23% have no education, only 6% have Grade 12 and only 2% have higher education.

Another problem is poor access to basic facilities and services. No less than 82% of the population depends on rivers, streams, springs and boreholes for water, 39% have no sanitation facilities, only 27% have access to electricity and only 20% have access to a formal waste disposal system.

The Zululand District is isolated from the national economy mainly due to its location in relation to transport routes and distance from major centres. Further to this, access to basic factors of production such as raw materials, skilled labour and infrastructure is generally limited. As stated above the raw materials that are found in the District mainly relate to coal mining and agricultural activities such as maize beef, timber and sugar production.

Despite this negative backdrop against which the Zululand economy has to perform, there are unique characteristics that present a range of economic development opportunities in the District. These are in relation to tourism, agriculture and the business sector. 2

The area has a great deal of tourism potential and a rich variety of cultural attractions that could be developed further. Tourism has the potential to bring economic benefits. Areas that can be developed include eMakhosini Heritage Park, cultural and historical sites at Ulundi, and the Paris Dam and Ithala area linking to the Maputaland biosphere and Magudu Game Reserve. There are battlefield sites around Vryheid and Babanango, which extend beyond the district. Efforts are being made to conserve areas of environmental value and sensitivity.

The seven main conservation areas of Zululand comprise about 95 381 hectares. Amafa is responsible for the conservation of cultural and historical sites and landscapes. Most of its activities are in the Ulundi area and eMakhosini, the ‘valley of the Zulu kings’.

The high agricultural potential of the land is key to the future development of the region and should be protected for long-term sustainability. This, however, does not mean that it should be excluded from consideration in projects that relate to land reform and commercial farming ventures. The high population numbers and livestock concentrations in the freehold settlements highlight the need for additional land and create possible opportunities for the development of commonage schemes. In addition tenure upgrade projects could be considered for tenants presently living on portions of the freehold land.

Zululand district has got the fifth lowest access to infrastructure amongst the districts in the province. An overview of household access to infrastructure in the district shows an improvement from 34% in 1996 to 46% in 2009.

2.2 Sanitation

With regard to access to sanitation, the district municipality’s household access to hygienic toilets has gone up from 26% in 1996 to 58% in 2009. The improvement in access to sanitation in general in the Municipality is mainly due to the increase in the use of pit latrines with ventilation which was above 40% in 2009.

2.3 Water

Access to piped water above RDP level increased from 34% to 55% from 1996 to 2009. Similarly, there has been a slight increase as well in access to piped water below RDP level. Almost 40% of the households do not have access to this service.2.4 Electricity

Page 9: Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural ... 2011... · Web viewSource: Gaffney’s, November 2009: Local Government in South Africa 2009 – 2011, Official Yearbook: p 880

The increase in electricity connections is the biggest infrastructure achievement in the municipality. In 1996, household access to electricity connections was at a lower level of 27%. Access has, however, increased over the years by 30% reaching 57% by 2009.

2.5 Refuse removal

Access to formal refuse removal service has been the same (20%) from 1996 to 2009 in the District Municipality. While this is the case, personal refuse removal went up over the years reaching 69% in 2008. The high levels of personal refuse removal must be taken in the context of low settlement densities, where on-site disposal or backyard burning of waste is sometimes appropriate.

2.6 Service provider

Zululand district does not have authority and does not perform the electricity reticulation function. The district, however, has authority and performs potable water and sanitation functions. The district has no authority and is not performing the refuse removal, refuse dumps and solid waste disposal function.

Zululand district municipality was granted financially unqualified audit opinions from 2005/6 to 2009/10 in succession. In uPhongolo a disclaimer was issued in 2005/6, but thereafter financially unqualified opinions were granted in succession from 2006/7 to 2009/10. In the case of eDumbe audit results over the period 2005/6 – 2009/10 changed from adverse to disclaimer, a situation indicative of poor resource management. In Nongoma a financially unqualified audit opinion was secured in 2009/10 after a period of sustained poor audit outcomes.

4. STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENT

4.1 Overview of findings on assessment in the municipality

Zululand District Municipality is not directly identified by the comprehensive assessment of the state of Kwazulu-Natal municipalities as one that has serious challenges requiring immediate intervention. However, some of the local municipalities under its jurisdiction have been identified as having serious challenges with respect of one or more focus areas. These challenges are discussed in more detail below.

4.1.1 Governance

eDumbe Local Municipality was one of 17 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal affected by political instability. The Provincial Report lists a number of causes of political instability including: the lack of understanding and adherence to the roles and responsibilities of political office bearers, interference in council matters from the regional and provincial political structures, a lack of deliberations on matters in council, domination of some councils by politically powerful administrations, power struggles between political office bearers from same party and a lack of communication and public participation frameworks creates environment for uncoordinated interaction with community.

4.1.2 Financial Management and Viability

Abaqulusi Local Municipality, Nongoma Local Municipality and Ulundi Local Municipality are also among 30 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal that are facing serious financial management challenges. The Provincial Report lists some of these concerns, including: poor financial planning, inadequately skilled staff appointed, lack of proper financial controls, poor financial competencies of elected representatives, and unemployment and poverty had a negative effect on credit control and income. There is also a general perception that councils are not transparent when it comes to financial policies and activities and that the reason for this is to hide their corrupt practices from the public.

4.1.3 Service Delivery

The Zululand District Municipality and its five local municipalities were not identified as part of the 20 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal which have serious challenges in this focus area. However the 2007 Community census identified more than 40% of people in

10

Page 11: Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural ... 2011... · Web viewSource: Gaffney’s, November 2009: Local Government in South Africa 2009 – 2011, Official Yearbook: p 880

the district as without access to water (46.9%), sanitation (49.3%) and electricity (43.1%).

5. INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES IN TERMS OF THE MUNICIPAL TURN-AROUND STRATEGY

On basic service delivery, the Zululand District Municipality has identified access to and maintenance of water and sanitation as the priority in terms of its MTAS.

The challenges identified, include: Funding constraints The communities served are mostly in the rural areas they depend on FBS

The action required by the municipality identified in the MTAS, include: Continue to implement new infrastructure Apply to MIG for O& M Funding

Intervention and technical support are required from DWA and MIG.

7. VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION

The DCoG Municipal Spatial Classification System was designed to develop municipal profiles according to spatial location, based upon results from indicator sets on functionality, socio-economic profile and backlog status. Its purpose is to inform a differentiated approach to municipalities.

The four municipal classifications developed by DCoG are:Class 1: Most vulnerable (57 local municipalities)Class 2: Second most vulnerable (58 local municipalities)Class 3: Second highest performing (58 local municipalities)Class 4: Highest performing (58 local municipalities)

The five local municipalities in the Zululand District can be classified as follow:
