1. INTRODUCTION

Section 25 (1) of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 stipulates that ‘each

municipal council must, within a prescribed period after its elected term, adopt a single, inclusive and

strategic plan for the development of the municipality’. The Mkhondo Local Municipality has completed

its 2006-2011 cycle of Integrated Development Plan (IDP). Therefore, this IDP represents a new cycle

from 2011 to 2016 financial years.

The above section also mentions that an Integrated Development Plan has the following functions:

(a) Links, integrates and coordinates plans and takes into account proposals for the

development of the municipality;

(b) Aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan;

(c) Forms the policy framework and general basis on which annual budgets must be based;

(d) Complies with the provisions of this Chapter (chapter 5 of the above Act); and

(e) Is compatible with national and provincial development plans and planning requirements

binding on the municipality in terms of legislation.

As a process to produce this principal long-term strategic plan, Mkhondo Local Municipality embarked

on a detailed public participation process and consultation meetings from the 14th of November 2010

until the 23th of November 2010, for the 2011-2016 Integrated Development Planning process. The

public consultation process was again conducted during April 2011 for the Draft IDP. Officials together

with honourable councillors went all out to participate in the meetings across all 15 wards in the

municipality.

In all its endeavours, Mkhondo Municipality is also committed to achieve the following broad goals:

� Build local economies to create more employment, decent work and sustainable livelihoods;

� Improve local public services and broaden access to them;

� Build more united, non-racial, integrated and safer communities;

� Promote more active community participation in local government; and

� Ensure more effective, accountable and clean local government that works together with

national and provincial government.

In addition to the above goals, there is a need to contribute to the implementation of the Expanded

Public Works Programme. This should be done in an attempt to create jobs, which can be accelerated

through mobilisation of social partners, such as local industries, state-owned enterprises and

government departments.

Page | 11

The purpose of this document is to describe the planning and implementation processes that will be

followed by Mkhondo Local Municipality to deliver on its mandate through being a developmental local

municipality. Critical in this document are the five development priorities of the municipality, which are

the national Key Performance Areas for local government, namely:

• Basic Service Delivery (priority number one)

• Municipal Institutional Development and Transformation (priority number two)

• Local Economic Development (priority number three)

• Financial Viability and Management (priority number four)

• Good Governance and Public Participation (priority number five)

These five development priorities give rise to integration of the municipality’s plans and implementation

efforts.

The document is divided into 5 sections:

• Chapter 1: Introduction

• Chapter 2: Situational Analysis

• Chapter 3: Operational Strategies/Sector Plans

• Chapter 4: Projects

• Chapter 5: Alignment of the IDP with District, Provincial and National Priorities

2. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

2.1. MKHONDO MUNICIPAL PROFILE

2.1.1 SETTLEMENT PATTERN

The Mkhondo Local Municipality is located in the Gert Sibande District Municipality, and is one of seven

local municipalities located in the District as reflected on Figure 1. It is bordered by Pixley Ka Seme to

the west, eDumbe Municipality to the south, Msukaligwa and Albert Luthuli to the north, and Swaziland

to the east. The seat of the Mkhondo Local Municipality is located in Piet Retief town in the central part

of the municipal area.

Figure 1: Mkhondo Local Municipality Map

Page 13: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

Page | 13

The municipality extends over an area of approximately 5 000 km² and accommodates just over 100 000

people residing in 19 wards. The area includes the following urban nodes:

• Piet Retief

• eThandakukhanya

• Amsterdam

• kwaThandeka

and the following rural nodes/settlements:

• Driefontein

• kwaNgema

• Mahamba

• Dirkiesdorp

• Iswepe

• Stafford

• eNtombe

• Commondale

The first order urban area in Mkhondo LM is Piet Retief/eThandakukhanya. Piet Retief is located on the

N2 where the R543 (Volksrust-Swaziland) and R33 (Vryheid-Amsterdam) intersect. It is surrounded by

forestry plantations and much of its economy originated from this source. Three major sawmills are

located just outside Piet Retief, including Mondi, Tafibra and Bison Board which are national businesses.

It boasts a well-diversified economy, including components from all sectors, from manufacturing to

personal services, real estate and tourism. It is also strategically situated in respect of rail and road

freight transport as well as tourism hence it taps from several sources of revenue. The town is fully

serviced and contains tertiary social services which meet local, municipal as well as regional needs.

eThandakukhanya is situated on the outskirts of Piet Retief and is largely a dormitory town, though in

general it has access to engineering and social infrastructure. However, economically it depends on Piet

Retief and the surrounding forestry and rural areas.

The second higher order urban area in Mkhondo is Amsterdam/KwaThandeka, which is situated at the

intersection of road R65 from Ermelo to Swaziland and road R33 from Carolina to Piet Retief. The town

is situated amidst the forestry zone of the district and therefore its origins are in agricultural / forestry

support. The urban area is serviced with engineering and primary social infrastructure, though local

roads are in a poor condition.

Apart from the above, there are also several rural nodes in the Mkhondo municipal area which

fundamentally have an agricultural / forestry support function. Many of these rural settlements are

located close to a main arterial and abutting railway station where some manufacturing or processing

activity is taking place. There are minimal social, engineering and commercial services and,

Page 14: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

Page | 14

consequently, only basic needs are met. Rural nodes include, amongst others, Driefontein, KwaNgema,

Dirkiesdorp, Iswepe, Rustplaas and eNtombe.

2.1.2 MINING, INDUSTRY AND FORESTRY

There are several scattered pockets of mining in the Mkhondo local municipality. The main

concentration of mining in the municipality is situated in the west of the municipality (south of

Heyshope Dam). Coal mining in the west of the municipality causes soil contamination, pollution of local

watercourses through acidification, groundwater pollution, and emission of atmospheric pollutants,

which should be minimized.

Forestry is the dominant land use in the Mkhondo Local Municipality. It stretches across the entire

eastern and central regions and peters out to the west of Piet Retief. Mondi, Sappi, TWK and SAFCOL

are the major companies which lead the forestry industry in the area. Over the years they have turned a

lot of their attention to preserving sensitive areas within their forestry plantations. Mondi is very

involved in a wetlands project which aims to protect and rehabilitate important wetlands in South

Africa. SAFCOL has a small protected area near Amsterdam in the south east.

There are timber plantations which are owned by the municipality. Therefore, the municipality is

planning to establish a municipal entity that will maintain the forestry enterprise on its behalf, as the

municipality has minimal or no expertise regarding forestry.

2.1.3 AGRICULTURE

Unlike other municipalities located to the west of Mkhondo in the Gert Sibande District, agriculture is

not the predominant land use in the Mkhondo Local Municipality. Forestry is predominant, while

unimproved grassland used for stock grazing comprises most of the rest of the land within the

municipality. Cultivation of commercial crops is scattered in small areas across the municipality, while a

very small concentration of semi-commercial / subsistence agriculture is situated in the vicinity of

Heyshope Dam. The predominance of forestry land use and the low cultivation of agricultural land can

be partly explained by much lower soil fertility in this municipality when compared to soil fertility in

more westerly municipalities.

2.1.4 CONSERVATION AND TOURISM AREAS

A number of SA Heritage Sites are found in this municipality. These include the following:

• The Athole Nature Reserve

• Entombe Battlefield

• Rooikraal

• Confidence

Page 15: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

Page | 15

• Kalkoenvlakte

• Heyshope Dam

The Mpumalanga Parks Board manages the Witbad Nature Reserve, while there are also a number of

Private Nature Reserves and Conservancies which include:

• Morgenstond Nature Reserve

• Amsterdam Conservancy (which incorporates the Athole Nature Reserve).

It should also be noted that the Enkangala Grassland Biosphere Reserve starts in the south western

corner of the municipality and spreads in a westerly direction. This initiative is vital towards the

conservation of the valuable grassland biome in the area.

Tourism is dominated by guesthouse facilities around the town of Piet Retief which cater for weekend

and transit travel, while conservancies and private reserve developments are increasing in the

Ngwempisi and Assegai River valley and catchments. The N2 linkage through Mkhondo is the major

tourism link connecting northern KZN and the Mpumalanga / Limpopo Lowveld areas to one another.

The mountains south of Dirkiesdorp and high grassland escarpment to the west in the region hold high

bio and scenic diversity. The potential could be realized via appropriate sustainable private sector or

corporate investment. Facilities associated with Heyshope dam (compared to the Jerico Dam) appear

limited. Significant potential exists for community investor partnerships on (traditional) land adjacent to

the dam.

2.1.5 TRANSPORT NETWORK

The N2 is the only national road which traverses the area. It is an important tourist and freight transport

route connecting Gauteng with the KwaZulu Natal north coast and Richards Bay. Though a national

road, the road needs to be upgraded and maintained, given its important connecting role. Three

provincial roads traverse the area. These include:

• R33 from the N17 in the north, through Amsterdam and Piet Retief to Vryheid in the south;

• R65 between Ermelo and Swaziland via Amsterdam.

• R543 between Swaziland and Volksrust via Piet Retief.

All these roads are tarred but in fairly poor condition and therefore need to be upgraded and

maintained. The local roads in the area are tarred, gravelled or graded. All need maintenance,

especially in the rainy season.

A freight railway service exists leading from Ermelo in the north to the north coast in the south via

Vryheid. The system does not cater for passenger or parcel transport.

There is a minor airfield in Piet Retief, which would accommodate small aircraft and day flights.

2.1.6 ENGINEERING SERVICES

Water Provision

Sixty nine percent of households within the Mkhondo municipal area have direct access to clean

reticulated water either in-house or on site. The remaining 31% of the population obtains water from

streams, rivers or boreholes. It is a challenge for the municipality to provide access to clean water for all

its residents. However, the municipality is in a process of addressing the water provision backlog,

together with the lack in sanitation services, to avoid serious environmental and health risks.

Sanitation Services

Sanitation services differ substantially throughout the area. Most of the newer urban areas have access

to full sanitation reticulation e.g. Piet Retief, eThandakukhanya and Amsterdam ext 2 and 3, while the

older urban areas still rely on septic tanks. A large percentage of the population (49%) (urban and rural)

in the municipal area still rely on pit latrines, or chemical toilets, while 21% have no access to sanitation

in their households. The latter figures indicate possible environmental pollution problems and increased

health risks. It is clear that sanitation services need to be upgraded in 13 wards excluding ward 7 and

ward 12.

Electricity

Slightly over 50% of households in urban areas obtain electricity from the MLM; the remainder of the

urban areas rely on candles for lighting and paraffin, gas and other sources for energy. ESKOM supplies

electricity to the rural areas.

The municipal areas with the largest concentrations of service backlogs are recorded around Piet

Retief/eThandakukhanya, Amsterdam/kwaThandeka, and Driefontein/kwaNgema.

2.1.7 SOCIAL/COMMUNITY SERVICES

There are several primary schools distributed widely throughout the area. These are not only centred in

the urban areas, but generally also cover the rural areas, which is appropriate given the high percentage

of rural based people residing in the Mkhondo area.

There are 15 secondary schools in the municipal area which are located and scattered across the wards,

however as the population grows the need for more arises. There is also a Mondi Science and Career

Guidance centre which assists in career guidance and youth development for the community of

Mkhondo at large.

Page | 17

There is only one hospital in the municipal area which is located in Piet Retief. In addition, there are 10

other health facilities which are mainly clinics. Of these, three of the facilities are located in Piet Retief

and the other seven are distributed in the area. There are two Alcohol and Drugs Rehabilitation centres,

two old age homes, two disabled centres and two orphanages. There is a need for more health facilities

in the area to achieve easier access to basic health and family planning services – especially in the rural

areas.

There are also four police stations and three post offices in the Mkhondo municipal area.

(-9309 people) between 2001 and 2007, while both Nkangala District and Ehlanzeni District

showed an increase.

• Within the Gert Sibande District the Mkhondo Local Municipality showed the largest decline in

population during this period (-36 440 people).

• Based on these figures the Mkhondo Municipality has an estimated population of 106 452

people.

• The 106 457 people residing in the Mkhondo Municipality represent about 29 927 households

at an average household size of 3,6.

• An estimated 36% of the population is in the age bracket 25-65, while there was a slight

decrease in the number of children of school-going age during this period.

• The percentage male residents in the municipality decreased slightly, while the number of

residents with tertiary qualifications (diplomas and degrees) increased significantly which is

positive. The percentage of the population with no schooling background also reduced

drastically.

• Unemployment figures are relatively high at 43%, but it did show a 3% reduction from 2001.

• The average annual income per individual increased by almost 150% to R1281,54, but is still

very low in national context.

• The number of households residing in formal houses increased to about 67% (from 33% in

2001).

• Households having access to electricity more than doubled during this period, with an estimated

69% of all households having access to electricity.

• Households with sanitation services below RDP level decreased from 61% to 41% (pit latrines,

bucket latrines and no systems).

• The number of households with access to piped water inside the dwelling/yard also increased

drastically from 10 795 in 2001 to 20 169 in 2007 which represents about 67% of all households

in the area.

• In terms of Gross Geographical Product the two most important employment sectors are

agriculture at 36% and community services at 18%.

• These sectors are followed by trade at 13% and manufacturing at 12%.

• It evidences that the economy is not very diversified still being highly reliant on the agricultural

sector.

• The above reinforces the fact that forestry is and will remain an important asset in the region.

• There is little down-stream economic activity and much of the raw timber is exported from the

region, which is negative as value-adding opportunities and increased income for the region are

lost.

• Reliance on the community services sector is also high, and thus indicative of the social needs

provision in the region.

• The urban / rural occupational split seemingly coincides with the general income profile of the

municipal area, where as much as 83% of households earn less than R3500.00 per month.

These household qualify for government’s housing subsidy schemes.

• Although the area has a large economically active population (56%), a total of 43% of the

economically active population is unemployed. This indicates that the economy is unable to

accommodate these people, which will either lead to the out migration of youngsters and/or an

increase in domestic poverty.

2.1.9 DISTRICT SDF DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIVES

In terms of the Gert Sibande District Spatial Development Framework, the following are important

elements in the municipal area to be considered in development planning:

• The four urban and eight rural nodes which also represent the highest population

concentrations in the municipal area and which should be the priority areas to provide

infrastructure and facilities not only to serve the local needs, but also that of the surrounding

rural communities;

• Piet Retief is proposed to be developed to functionally become the Forestry Hub in the GSDM

area;

• Forestry is dominant in the square shaped area between the four nodes in the northern parts of

the municipal area;

• Extensive agriculture occurs to the south and far-northern parts;

• The entire Mkhondo area forms part of the Priority Tourism Precinct of the GSDM;

• Routes N2/N17 and R33 should be utilised as catalysts to promote local economic development;

• The central and southern parts of the municipal area are earmarked as Service Upgrading

Priority Areas;

• The priority locations for MPCC’s (Thusong Centres), apart from eThandakukhanya are at

KwaThandeka, Driefontein and Sulphur Springs.

2.1.10 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Figure 2 depicts the organizational structure of the Mkhondo Municipality. The political component of

the municipality comprises Council, which is represented by 4 full-time and 26 part-time councillors.

After the adoption of the Process Plan, a schedule of ward community meetings was drafted as reflected

in Table 4 below, and communities were informed about these meetings.

Apart from a few logistical issues, participation to the process was significant, with almost 100% of the

ward meetings having been completed successfully. Detailed needs were captured for each of the

wards within the municipal area, and Table 5 below.

CONCLUSION

The Mkhondo Local Municipality’s IDP public participation meetings were held successfully

throughout all fifteen wards of the municipality. This process would not have been successful

without dedication shown by the Honourable Executive Mayor, the Honourable Speaker, the

Honourable ward Councillors, then Administrator and now Acting Municipal Manager and the

officials.

In short, the backlogs on water, sanitation, electricity and housing are still severe, mostly in the rural

wards of the Mkhondo area and need serious attention. The municipality therefore needs to

prioritize these needs and ensure that the number of residents without basic needs is reduced,

especially in the rural areas.

The following section gives a description of the most significant service delivery challenges experienced

in Mkhondo. These were common issues that were raised and still remain a challenge.

DEVELOMENT

CHALLENGE/NEED

DETAIL

Water

A large percentage of the rural areas still do not have access to potable drinking water. In

some wards, the community depends on water from the river for all household purposes. It

was also explained that the same water is often shared with livestock such as cattle and pigs,

which exposes the consumers to serious illnesses such as diarrhoea. There were wards where

borehole infrastructures are available, but these are often not functioning or the water is

soiled especially after rains.

Housing

In almost all wards, issues relating to housing were on access to decent shelter. Some of the

community members complained of empty promises on information regarding housing

delivery from the municipal officials. Other issues on housing were related to limited and/or

no access to land and/or serviced stands where individuals may build their own houses. It was

also indicated that there are areas where the most suitable land to erect houses is privately

owned and/or grows forestry.

Sanitation

This is a major challenge in all wards, especially rural wards. Most community members

indicated that they just do not have any toilets and that they ‘help themselves’ in the bushes.

There were cases where issues of maintenance were cited as challenges in the sense that

some VIP toilets were not being maintained, which causes a range of health hazards.

Electricity Electricity is a great challenge for most of the wards, except for urban wards. A large number

in rural areas are yet to be connected to electricity.

Cemeteries The communities pointed out a need for more space to erect cemeteries, both in the urban

and rural areas.

Clinic

In the majority of the rural wards there is a direct need for clinics because the mobile clinic

that is supposed to visit, is either sporadic or has ceased to visit at all. Some people do not

have access at all because the areas are inaccessible due to bad roads or no roads at all. Many

people therefore die because they cannot receive immediate assistance when they are ill.

Roads

The communities pointed out the need for roads to be graded and/or levelled often to

improve accessibility to certain areas and for the scholar transport to be able to reach the

schools easily. Heavy rains result to bad access to roads, but the municipality has taken that

into cognisance.

2.3. CONCLUSION: 5-YEAR IDP PROCESS RELATED CHALLENGES AND

ISSUES

In addition to the aforementioned technical developmental issues and challenges, the following were

identified as the main IDP process-related challenges and issues that need to be addressed during

ensuing IDP review processes in the Mkhondo municipal area:

2.3.1 Information on economic aspects, land use and transport is not available, but is urgently

required for development planning that meets the needs of communities in a

sustainable manner.

2.3.2 The municipality is not getting all the funds that are due to it. This needs to be

investigated as a matter of urgency to enable it to do more for communities. The

municipality needs to engage with the provincial and national spheres of government,

state-owned enterprises, the private sector as well as local and international donors

(such as the World Bank or international investors) in order to seek funding for projects.

This emphasises the need to establish joint ventures and Public Private Partnerships

(PPP’s) and also the need to effectively communicate and market the IDP (or the local

authority area).

2.3.3 The institutional capacity of the municipality needs to be enhanced in order to improve

on its capacity to spend available grant funding such as the MIG. This requires

meticulous attention to detail by the highest echelons of political and administrative

leadership of the municipality.

2.4 NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL POLICY GUIDELINES

In addition to existing legislation, a range of national, provincial and local development policies and

plans exist to further guide and direct development in South Africa. Three of these, namely the National

Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP), the Mpumalanga Provincial Growth and Development Strategy

(MPGDS) and the Mpumalanga Rural Development Programme (MRDP) are of particular importance in

developing an Integrated Development Plan for the Mkhondo Local Municipality.

This section of the IDP briefly highlights some salient aspects of each of the aforementioned

plans/policies.

2.4.1 NATIONAL SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE (NSDP)

The National Spatial Development Perspective was initiated in 1999 with the aim of not only providing a

strategic assessment of the spatial distribution and socio-economic characteristics of the South African

population, but gaining a shared understanding of the distribution of economic activities and potential

across the South African landscape. Based on research conducted and key trends and issues identified,

the NSDP currently delineates a number of guidelines for infrastructure investment in South Africa.

The rationale behind the guidelines is rooted in a government approach of investing in people rather

than investing in physical infrastructure to improve the quality of life of people living in low productivity

areas. The logic of this approach is that investing in people is a more efficient use of government

resources as it potentially results in increased opportunity and choice to relocate to high growth areas.

Investing in places can leave people trapped in low growth areas without any guarantee that this will

attract new investment into the area.

In essence, the NSDP argues that government’s social objectives will be best achieved through

infrastructure investment in economically sustainable areas with proven development potential.

Therefore, areas displaying little or no potential for growth should only be provided with the

constitutionally mandated minimum levels of services and the focus of government spending should

rather be on the people, i.e. the social development spending. Social development spending may

involve developing labour market intelligence, human resource development and health and social

transfers. Crucially, this kind of “development spending” is specifically aimed at enabling the South

African youth located in areas in which they have no hope of finding employment, to gradually gravitate

to areas with high economic potential.

Following from the broad philosophy and actions put forward by the NSDP, five principles to guide

development decisions have also been formulated. A brief summary of each principle is given below:

• Principle One: Economic growth is the prerequisite for the achievement of other policy

objectives such as poverty eradication and equitable development.

Page 64: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 64

• Principle Two: Government infrastructure investment—beyond basic service delivery—will be in

areas of high development potential or economic growth.

- Focusing future settlement and economic development opportunities into activity corridors

and nodes adjacent to, or linked to main growth centres.

- Rather increase the footprint of existing urban areas through incremental development and

densification than to initiate new Greenfield developments far removed from all existing

infrastructure and economic activity.

• Principle Three: Efforts to address inequalities should focus on people and not places.

• Principle Four: Areas with high levels of poverty and high development potential should receive

investment beyond basic services to exploit this potential.

• Principle Five: Areas with high levels of poverty and low development potential should receive

investment to provide basic services as well as social transfers, HRD and labour market

information.

2.4.2 OVERVIEW OF MPUMALANGA PROVINCIAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

STRATEGY (PGDS)

Another important government initiative implemented during the past few years is the Provincial

Growth and Development Strategy. The PGDS was compiled within the parameters set by the National

Spatial Development Perspective, as well as the Integrated Sustainable Rural Development Strategy as

defined by the national government.

A PGDS is a “strategic and integrated provincial development plan that provides direction and scope

for province-wide development programmes and projects, within the context of a long-term

perspective and taking into consideration resources available and constraints.” Furthermore, a PGDS

provides “a spatially referenced framework for both public and private sector investment, indicating

areas of opportunity and development priorities and enabling intergovernmental alignment.” In

essence, the PGDS is aimed at providing strategic directives to district and local municipalities in

formulating their more detailed Integrated Development Plans (IDPs), and Spatial Development

Frameworks (SDF). It is thus essential that the issues and directives emanating from a PGDS be

compatible with the vision, priority areas, and guidelines of SDFs of local and district municipalities.

Flowing out of a thorough SWOT analysis and identified trends, the Mpumalanga Provincial Government

has identified six priority areas of intervention as part of the Mpumalanga PGDS, namely:

• Economic Development (i.e. investment, job creation, business and tourism development and

SMME development);

• Infrastructure Development (i.e. urban/rural infrastructure, housing and land reform);

• Human Resource Development (i.e. adequate education opportunities for all);

• Social Infrastructure (i.e. access to full social infrastructure);

• Environmental Development (i.e. protection of the environment and sustainable development);

and

• Good Governance (i.e. effective and efficient public sector management and service delivery).

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 65

In line with strengthening the intergovernmental planning system and to ensure that there is

sustainable growth and development in the province, the PGDS has adopted the following as guiding

posts:

• Internationally, the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as reflected in the

table below; and

• Nationally, the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (ASGISA) and the

National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) of South Africa.

• Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP);

• Local Economic Development (LED);

• Urban and Rural Development Programme; and

• Environmental Management.

2.4.3 MPUMALANGA RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (MRDP)

The Mpumalanga Rural Development Programme (MRDP) was established in 2001, co-ordinated by the

office of the Premier and technically supported by the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and the

German Development Service (DED). The main objective of the Programme is to contribute towards an

“improvement of the social and economic situation of the rural poor”. The programme focuses on the

creation of income and employment in rural areas.

The key concepts of the programme include:

• Self-reliance/empowerment: strengthen the self-help capabilities of the communities and

emphasise development planning;

• Economic growth: encourage local economic development, employment and income generation

through the promotion of small and micro-sized rural enterprises and the participation of the

private sector;

• Sustainability: improve viable and sustainable natural resource utilisation;

• Outreach: upgrade and broaden the facilitation of government services to the impoverished;

• Capacity building: strengthen, advise and train service providers;

• Innovation: develop innovative concepts for public service delivery;

• Mainstream: get innovations on track;

• Coping with HIV and AIDS: plan, design and implement relevant strategies in order to cope with

HIV and AIDS; and

• Stakeholder participation: ensuring participation by all concerned.

It is important for the Mkhondo Local Municipality to draw the concepts and principles of this plan down

to local level, through spatial development policies and strategies as part of its Spatial Development

Framework review process.

2.5. SWOT ANALYSIS

Based on the information collected as part of the Situational Analysis, the following Strengths,

Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats were identified for the Mkhondo Local Municipality.

2.5.1 STRENGTHS

• Strategic location of municipality – central from Maputo, Swaziland, Durban, Nelspruit,

Johannesburg and Pretoria (±300km radius);

• Rich in certain resources like timber, coal, and water;

• The municipality owns and manages a viable timber plantation business;

• There exists a political will to turn the area around which would moderate potential resistance;

• There are well-established key economic sectors (forestry, mining, agriculture); and

• Municipal land available for development.

2.5.2 WEAKNESSES

• Municipality was placed under provincial intervention in terms of Section 139 (1) (b) of the

Constitution, of the RSA;

• The municipality is currently financially unsound in terms of income and expenditure caused by

debt accumulated in previous years;

• Limited institutional capacity;

• 60% of municipality is rural which makes service delivery difficult;

• Poverty and unemployment;

• Revenue and debt collection;

• Lack of financial resources for service delivery;

• Lack of infrastructure (e.g. shortage of office space), degraded existing infrastructure (especially

roads and sewerage system);

• Emergency services are centralised;

• HIV and AIDS increase pressure on social services;

• Insufficient water supply to communities;

• Storm water management;

• Insufficient supply of sanitation services;

• Lack of in-house capacity to deal with, and enforce land use management;

• Low density, spatially distant communities which makes service delivery costly;

• Lack of central, updated municipal database – gaps lead to duplication and misalignment and

damages confidence in the municipality;

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 68

• Lack of communication within and outside the organization (excessively intricate systems

complicate IGR); also of stakeholder management; and

• Poor Traffic Management.

2.5.3 OPPORTUNITIES

• N2 National road cuts through the central parts of the municipal area;

• Centrally located for industrial development and tourism;

• Existence of Tourism Centre could enhance tourism potential in the area;

• Markets could be established, with beneficiation of forest products to be a focus area;

• High residential demand;

• Land Reform provides opportunities for access to more land and economic benefits for the

people;

• Batho Pele principles could enhance service delivery and development in general;

• Strong business community;

• Recycling of waste could provide business opportunities and enhance environmental

sustainability;

• Availability of external funding for development and infrastructure; and

• Key partners have already been identified.

2.5.4 THREATS

• Poverty;

• Unemployment;

• Grading of the municipality which leads to a brain drain to other municipalities;

• Staff recruitment / lack of suitably qualified applicants;

• Infrastructure collapse;

• Increasing amount of land invasions and Informal/ unplanned settlements;

• Insecurity of tenure, illegal evictions and land rights violations, particularly regarding labour

tenancy;

• HIV and AIDS;

• Water contamination – especially from poor sanitation and mining activities;

• High levels of dissatisfaction and frustration of customers/current residents;

• Regular social unrest;

• Crime and violence;

• Forest and veld fires/ natural disaster;

• Air pollution from industries;

• Limited support and co-operation from government departments and state-owned enterprises;

• Unequal access to economic opportunities (especially for youth);

• Illiteracy and low levels of education;

• Lack of formalised public transport system; and

• Spatially not connected to economic hubs.

2.6. CONCLUSIVE SUMMARY: SERVICE DELIVERY ISSUES

There is a general lack of adequate quality infrastructure in Mkhondo Local Municipality. This has

recently led to a series of service delivery protests as the public becomes increasingly frustrated. What

follows is a brief summary of service delivery issues.

The biggest source of service delivery issues lie in planning and execution/ administrative functions.

Firstly, there is lack of a central, updated database which makes alignment and coordination very

difficult. Staff capacity, a lack of funding, as well as a lack of long term financial planning further

impedes service delivery and catching up on backlogs. Reduced finances are partly due to ineffective

tariff collection procedures and controls. Management and staff are hardly held accountable given the

fact that the municipality has had vacancies in all top management positions for almost two years of the

2006-2011 Council’s term of office. This state of affairs was exacerbated by the non-existence of a

performance management system in the municipality.

Informal/unplanned settlements complicate service delivery planning and do not contribute financially

in the form of rates and taxes. To make matters worse the municipality’s ability to provide services is

also encumbered by land ownership. As the state buys land for the purpose of supporting

municipalities, the disposal procedure thereof takes a while. Furthermore, spatial difficulty particularly

related to Mkhondo is that quite a number of communities are outlying, spatially distant from one

another and of low densities.

Coming to particular services and their sets of most-pressing issues as identified in the workshop held on

16 March 2010, existing road infrastructure and bridges are degraded. As multitudes of heavy trucks

traverse the area, they damage the roads such that potholes are a prominent feature of Mkhondo

roads. Rural roads and rural access is limited. For safety purposes, there is an urgent need for truck

stops and by-passes. Public transportation is another great need in the area, especially due to the large

section of the population who have no other means of travel.

The Sanitation Treatment Plant in Piet Retief needs upgrading. VIP toilets are required for many rural

communities (although VIP toilets pose a threat to underground water in terms of pollution).

Waterborne toilets are needed in the townships and a septic tank is required in Amsterdam to meet the

demand of the town and its surrounds. Rural areas lack clean drinking water and in the townships the

tap water is apparently not of good quality.

Looking at electricity, rural electrification is a pressing concern, while there is also a backlog in the

electrification in townships. Increased and easier access to prepaid outlets as well as electrification for

indigents needs attention. Another concern raised was that of neighbourhood lighting and safety. A

new transformer is needed to accommodate the communities in the area.

A problem raised regarding disaster management was that emergency services are too centralised.

Accordingly, satellite facilities (Amsterdam and Driefontein) are needed for especially health and

disaster management services in order to respond more effectively. A related necessity is disaster

management equipment.

Waste management is of particular concern in rural areas. Apparently waste management equipment is

old and inadequate, so with the landfill site in Piet Retief, while a landfill site in Amsterdam is a high

priority.

Cemeteries need to be fenced and additional land has to be identified in order to fulfil the growing need

for cemeteries.

3. OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES/SECTOR PLANS

Mkhondo Local Municipality produced operational strategies/sector plans as part of the components

of the IDP according to section 26(f) of Local Government: Municipal Systems Act which reads; “the

council’s operational strategies”. In cases where the municipality does not have the relevant sector

plan, the relevant district plan is used in its place.

The summaries of the sector plans are presented below:

3.1. SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

3.1.1 THREATS

In terms of Section 26 of the Municipal Systems Act (MSA), an IDP must include a Spatial

Development Framework (SDF). In other words, one of the means through which an IDP intends to

restructure our cities, towns and rural areas is through the formulation of a SDF that provides a

spatial overview of planned public and private sector investment. The SDF is a spatial representation

of the vision of the municipality and is thus an integral part of the annually reviewed IDP.

The SDF is to be compiled on the basis of the project proposals and the localised strategic guidelines

of the IDP. The integration of projects and programmes ensure consistency in regard to cross-

cutting aspects such as financial feasibility, desired spatial effect, economic, social and

environmental impacts.

When this document was formulated, five principles were considered which are as follows:

• Principle one: to achieve a sustainable equilibrium between urbanisation, biodiversity

conservation, forestry, industry, agriculture and tourism related activities within the

Mkhondo Municipality, by way of effective management of land uses and environmental

resources.

• Principle two: to establish a functional hierarchy of urban and rural nodes

(towns/settlements) in the municipal area, and to ensure equitable and equal access of all

communities to social infrastructure and the promotion of local economic development by

way of strategically located Thusong centres (MPCCs) in these nodes.

• Principle three: to functionally link all nodal points (towns and settlements) in the municipal

area to one another, and to the surrounding regions, through the establishment and

maintenance of a strategic road network comprising internal and external linkages.

• Principle four: to promote and enhance forestry within and around the existing forestry core

area in the central and northern parts of the municipality.

• Principle five: to incorporate the existing natural environment, cultural, historic and man-

made resources of the municipality in the development of tourism precincts, with specific

focus on the forestry core area along route R33 in the northern parts of the municipality, the

Heyshope Dam in the central part, and the historic battlefields precinct around Entombe

towards the central southern parts.

3.1.2 KEY ISSUES

Regarding the rural character and relatively stagnant economic base of the municipality, coupled

with its large geographic area and Piet Retief being the only major urban area in the whole

municipality, the SDF faced quite a few challenges. The challenges were met by identifying a few

generic key indicators. They were the following:

• There is a need for a SDF to direct service delivery, encapsulate people’s needs and ensure a

measure of good governance;

• A spatial hierarchy must be identified to guide service delivery ensuring cost effectiveness

and efficiency;

CONCENTRATION

� Nodes � Efficiency � Benefits To The Poor � Economies of Scale

CONNECTION

� Development corridors

� Movement corridors

� Accessibility

� Sphere of influence

CONSERVATION

� Controlling sprawl

� Sustainability

� Value of open spaces

� Role of agriculture

• Economic growth, development and diversification are very important to achieve upliftment

for the local people; and

• Tourism opportunities must be explored.

After an analysis of the area, a few key issues were identified. More specific focus areas were

investigated in order to guide the SDF interventions. The focus areas were the following:

• Areas with tourism growth potential;

• For conservation purposes, areas with high biodiversity;

• Areas with high soil potential, in order to demarcate the central economic activities of

agriculture and forestry;

• Areas lacking access to services (i.e. water, sanitation, electricity, telecommunications,

education, health and social facilities) in order to quantify the need geographically.

3.1.3 OBJECTIVES/DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

Three universal Development Principles were recognised and then given effect by the Mkhondo SDF.

They are Concentration, Connection and Conservation. It is important to note that Mkhondo’s

spatial form has been largely influenced by political decisions. Also, given the strong rural base and

scattered urban developments in the area, it is proposed that these principles should aim to

reconcile the disparities in an efficient way.

The following diagram represents the development principles and their relation to each other:

3.1.4 STRATEGIES

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 81

In terms of the Mkhondo SDF, a hierarchy of settlements needs to be established. Urban centres

were ranked as one of the following: Major Urban Area, Minor Urban Area, Tertiary Urban Area or

Declining Urban Area. The rural settlement hierarchy was established differentiating between Hub

or Satellite. Piet Retief is classified as the only Major Urban Centre in Mkhondo, and the Rural Hubs

are Dirkiesdorp, Panbult, Iswepe and Amsterdam.

Guided by the Development Principles of concentration, connection and conservation, several

economic strengthening opportunities were identified as reflected on Figure 3 which represent the

Mkhondo SDF.

Figure 3: Mkhondo SDF (2009)

The corridors that affect Mkhondo are, firstly, the high order mobility corridor that runs through Piet

Retief – the N2-N17 national road corridor. Secondly, two lower order mobility corridors are

delineated. These are the R543 and R69 regional routes. They run through, and intersect each other

and the N2 at Piet Retief.

Furthermore, a conservation corridor is demarcated. Its southern tip includes a portion of Mkhondo

Local Municipality (along the western border). A few ecological hotspots are also located in

Mkhondo. These are located on the northern border, two in the south western corner (one within

and one outside of the conservation corridor), and another south of the N2 in the far south eastern

corner of the municipality.

Page 82: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 82

Note that the majority of the municipality is dedicated to forestry (soft green), while only the south

western corner is dedicated to agriculture (soft yellow).

Piet Retief is marked as a Major Urban Centre while the Rural Hubs of Dirkiesdorp, Panbult, Iswepe

and Amsterdam are also mapped. Rural satellites are eNtombe, Dirkiesdorp, Witterberg and

Moolman. The bright green depicts the ‘conceptual conservation corridor’ and where it influences

Mkhondo.

The final strategy comprises a ‘precinct plan’ for Piet Retief, showing an activity corridor through the

CBD area, the Assegaai cultural village in the north eastern extents of the town, as well as areas for

planned residential development.

3.1.5 KEY INTERVENTIONS/PROJECTS

In addition to the broad strategies, a few SDF-related key interventions or projects were set out

regarding areas or projects that are in need of immediate intervention. Instead of being a

comprehensive list of projects as is typical with an IDP, the proposed key interventions as listed

below aim to focus attention on critical spatial issues that need to be addressed as a matter of

urgency within the broader and more comprehensive context of the Mkhondo Integrated

Development Plan (IDP):

Economic Development in Driefontein

The main access road from Driefontein to the N2 at Iswepe is to be tarred in order to mitigate its

high inaccessibility hence isolation from the mainstream economy. Consequently, there is

immediate need for economic upgrade in Driefontein. The only visible opportunity relates to coal

mining, given the close proximity of the Kangra Coal Mine. It is deemed necessary that opportunities

for local economic development be identified and explored together with local stakeholders.

Promotion of Eco-Tourism at Amsterdam

Due to its unique location on the escarpment between the Lowveld and KwaZulu Natal, surrounded

by cliffs, grasslands, forests and wetlands, Amsterdam provides niche living environments for a

variety of bird and animal species. Not least, it has a distinctly picturesque setting. It is therefore

held that Amsterdam has potential to be branded as a specific destination (like Clarence and

Dullstroom) and that eco-tourism could provide a sustainable alternative source of income for this

town. Eco opportunities should be linked to LED initiatives to ensure that economic offshoots are

maximised locally.

Urban Development Framework for Piet Retief

Given the predicted expansion of Piet Retief, an urban development framework is needed to direct

the development of the town. Since urban development is expected to take place within the 10km

zone from the Byson Board and Mondi plants to the current entrance of the town, this will become

the new gateway into Piet Retief and it is important that it be designed with care. The urban

development framework would also include urban design guidelines for any new development

within the town.

Page | 83

In his 2010 State of the Province Address, the Honourable Premier of Mpumalanga Province

announced that Mpumalanga is going to have a university. Therefore, Mkhondo Municipality will

identify potential land for a satellite university campus. More on this will be outlined in the SDF

which is currently in process.

Conservation of River Floodplain Wetland Areas

The floodplain wetlands found along the Assegai and Ngwempisi River are identified as key

intervention areas as they are centres of biodiversity and play a very important role in the

hydrological functioning of the upper Pongola catchments. They also have the potential to function

as key ecological linkages. Correct land use management practices should be implemented to

protect these floodplain wetlands.

Conservation of Ridges

In Mkhondo, the ridges of the escarpment along the southern boundary and the higher lying ground

to the northwest of Heyshope have high conservation and eco-tourism potential as they could form

a key ecological link due to their biodiversity. Correct land use management practices should be

implemented to conserve these ridges.

3.1.6 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The intended outcome of the Spatial Development Framework is a more efficient municipality, with

nodal areas of economic, urban, and conservation activities. Through this approach, the

municipality will benefit its people in delivering services more effectively and create an environment

more conducive to economic growth.

It also lays the groundwork for a Land Use Management System, which is pending (subject to the

District Land Use Management Framework).

3.2. LED STRATEGY

3.2.1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the LED Strategy is to collate all economic information and investigate the

coordinated and integration options and opportunities available to broaden the economic base of

the Mkhondo Local Municipality. This will be packaged as a strategic implementation framework in

order to address the creation of employment opportunities, investment and business development

and the resultant positive spin-off effects throughout the economy of the Mkhondo Local

Municipality. Furthermore, it is also aimed at ensuring that the municipality can efficiently and

effectively facilitate the creation of an appropriate enabling environment conducive to economic

development and investment. This can, however, only be done if and when the current

development situation in the area is understood and economic opportunities then determined. The

analysis should therefore provide the foundation by assessing the current demographic, socio-

economic and economic characteristics and trends of the area and by highlighting the main

challenges faced in the area. Such an overview is provided in a manner that will indicate the

development needs of the local communities and municipality in terms of capacity.

Page | 84

3.2.2 KEY ISSUES

The main focus of a LED strategy is to create better living conditions for the local community of the

Mkhondo Local Municipality. Currently the main issues are:

• 60% of the municipality is rural,

• high poverty levels,

• high levels of unemployment,

• most of the population have no schooling,

• low skills levels,

• high HIV and AIDS levels, and

• high density.

3.2.3 OBJECTIVES

The main objective of the Mkhondo Local Municipality is to align the LED strategy with the district,

provincial and national sustainable economic growth. The focus of the LED strategy is to create:

• diversification of economic sectors to reduce reliance on mining, quarrying and agriculture,

• a productive economy with high levels of service, skilled workforce and modern systems of

work organization and management,

• eradication of poverty, reduce the income inequalities and provide basic services for all,

• economic growth in a sustainable manner, for the benefit of all the communities living in the

Mkhondo Local Municipality,

• employment and increase levels of participation in the economy by all, especially by the

previously excluded and presently marginalised, and

• a fair, effective and conducive business environment for enterprises and consumers.

3.2.4 STRATEGIES

Strategies to enhance LED within the Mkhondo Local Municipality are as follows:

• ward development co-operatives as a vehicle,

• micro-economic development strategy,

• align and inform with other strategies,

• poverty reduction,

• create employment opportunities,

• increasing skills levels, and

• create HIV and AIDS awareness.

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 85

3.2.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The intended outcomes of the LED Strategy for Mkhondo Local Municipality are:

• development of a co-operative per ward,

• ensure food security,

• creation of employment opportunities,

• development of LED Forum,

• development of a business chamber,

• opening of a trade exhibition centre, and

• establishment of a small business centre.

One of the flagship projects that the municipality strongly support is the establishment of a bio-

diesel plant at Panbult, which will enhance economic growth. Furthermore, there are a number of

LED projects which are to be implemented in the Mkhondo area, with a view to assisting in

addressing some key issues of the LED strategy, one of them being a project of a Truck Stop, initiated

by a youth enterprise called Ubuhlebethu Trading, which the municipality supports. There is also

Siyaphambili chicken poultry and farming implemented by Teka Takho Co-operative and

Ubuhlebezwe Agricultural Projects and many more within the municipal area. The above-mentioned

projects have been partially funded but still required more funds to run their business.

3.3. HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY

3.3.1 INTRODUCTION

Human capital is one of the most important resources for the successful operation of any

organization. Effectively applying a human capital strategy within the Mkhondo Local Municipality

will drastically improve the organization’s likelihood of achieving its vision and goals.

The term human capital means to recognize that the employees within the municipal organization

are an essential asset that contributes to development and growth. The collective attitude, skills and

abilities of employees contribute to organizational performance, productivity and culture. Any

expenditure therefore that leads to successful training, development and support of people in the

Mkhondo Local Municipality is an investment, not just an expense.

3.3.2 KEY ISSUES

The following key issues within the Mkhondo municipality were identified:

• the need for a comprehensive skills audit,

• skills development, particularly technical,

• brain drain,

Page 86: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 86

• women empowerment,

• Employment equity (women, disabled, youth etc.),

• absorption of skills into local economy,

• training and development of existing staff,

• access to facilities/buildings by disabled persons,

• relations with SETAs and FET colleges, and

• internal stakeholders, i.e. councillors, LLF.

3.3.3 OBJECTIVES

The general aim of a human capital strategy at local municipal level is to develop each individual

according to their potential, in order to attain a successful and productive workforce. The following

objectives are highlighted:

• creating a representative workforce for the municipality in terms of gender, race and

disability,

• ensuring a proficient and capable workforce through skills development and training,

• establishing a high level of work ethic, and

• guarantee occupational health and safety (SHE).

3.3.4 STRATEGIES

Strategies for developing the human capital within the Mkhondo Local Municipality are as follows:

• meticulous recruitment of diverse yet suitably qualified personnel,

• promote understanding of the need for and value of investing in people,

• regular training and the implementation of skills development programs,

• creating a healthy, organized and pleasant work environment, and

• implementing performance based reward systems to ensure retention.

3.3.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The intended outcome of adopting a human capital strategy is to grow into a fully functional local

government organization with adequate capacity in order to:

• develop and retain a diverse and professional workforce that is continually learning and

expanding its capacity to shape Mkhondo’s future, and

• nurture a culture of integrity and excellence that encourages creativity and initiative and

that promotes a healthy and safe work environment.

3.4. COMPREHENSIVE RURAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

3.4.1 INTRODUCTION

The Rural Development Programme is aimed at being an effective response against poverty and food

insecurity by maximising the use and management of natural resources to create vibrant, equitable

and sustainable rural communities. The program must improve the standards of living and welfare

but also rectify past injustices through rights-based interventions and address skewed patterns of

distribution and ownership of wealth and assets. The strategic objective of the Rural Development

Program is therefore to facilitate integrated development and social cohesion through

participatory approaches in partnership with all sectors of society.

3.4.2 KEY ISSUES

• Driefontein is characterised by land ownership struggles. The local communities claim that

the land originally belongs to them. Currently they rent some of the land from land owners

but struggle due to limited services. The community want the Municipality to:

o locate the original title deeds of the land,

o ensure that the local community can regain land ownership,

o provide services to the area, and

o include in SDF.

• Dirkiesdorp land belongs to public works and was a camp for construction workers in the

past. Currently there is not enough space available for the existing housing development.

The municipality should:

o Transfer the land from the public works department to the rural development and

land reform department in order to ensure land ownership.

o The department should acquire more land to satisfy the existing housing demand in

that area.

• The Municipality should acquire more land in Ajax, Rustplaas, Umlazi, Iswepe and

Maphepheni settlements to address the existing housing demand within the rural areas.

• Development of a township establishment route (Driefontein, Dirkiesdorp, Ajax, Rustplaas,

Umlazi, Iswepe and Maphepheni).

3.4.3 OBJECTIVES

The vision of the Rural Development Program is to create vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural

communities. In order to achieve the above indicated vision the program will focus on the following

objectives:

• contributing to the redistribution of 30% of the country’s agricultural land,

• improving food security of the rural poor,

• creation of business opportunities,

• de-congesting and rehabilitation of over-crowded former homeland areas, and

• expanding opportunities for women, youth, people with disabilities and older persons who

stay in rural areas.

The priority programs include accomplishing the above indicated are as follows:

Page 88: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 88

• Agrarian Transformation:

o livestock farming and related value chain development (exploring all possible species

for food and economic activity), and

o cropping and related value chain development (exploring all possible species,

especially indigenous plants for food and economic activity).

• Rural Development:

o establishing of business initiatives, agro-industries, cooperatives, cultural initiatives

and vibrant local markets in rural settings,

o empowerment of rural communities, especially women and the youth, through

facilitating and mediating strong organizational and institutional capabilities and

abilities to rake full charge of their collective destiny,

o capacity building initiatives, where rural communities are trained in technical skills

combining them with indigenous knowledge to mitigate community vulnerability to

especially climate change, soil erosion, adverse weather conditions and natural

disaster hunger and food insecurity, and

o revitalisation and revamping of old and the creation of new economic social and

information communication infrastructure and public amenities and facilities in

villages and small rural towns

• Land Reform:

o reviewing the land reform products and approaches,

o reviewing land acquisition models,

o fast-tracking the settlements of labour tenancy claims,

o facilitating secure access to land by farm dwellers,

o protecting the land rights and of farm workers, and

o increasing the pace of settling outstanding land restitution clams by:

� Providing and analysis of outstanding claims, and

� Adopting a development approach to the settlement of restitution claims.

3.4.4 STRATEGIES

Strategies for developing the Rural Development Programme within the Mkhondo Local Municipality

are as follows:

• Agrarian transformation strategies:

o Sustainable Natural Resource Management,

o integrated production,

o livestock farming,

o rural livelihoods,

o food security,

o Indigenous Knowledge Systems,

o appropriate technologies, and

o crop-farming and value chain processing.

• Rural development strategies:

o social mobilization to enable rural communities to take initiatives,

o establish saving clubs and co-operatives for economic actives,

o access to resource clinics,

o non-farm activities for strengthening of rural livelihoods,

o democratisation of rural development, participation and ownership of all processes,

projects and programs,

o co-ordination, alignment and cooperative governance (Local Municipalities,

Traditional Councils, Provincial Government),

o participation of Non-Governmental Organisations including faith-based organization,

Community Based Organisations and other organs of civil society, and

o social cohesion and access to human and social capital

• Land reform strategies:

o land redistributions,

o entrepreneurship,

o land restitution,

o increased agricultural trade,

o land tenure reform,

o increased agricultural production,

o land and planning information, and

o support services.

3.4.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The outcomes intended by the Rural Development Program for Mkhondo Local Municipality are:

• increase rural development projects and programmes,

• develop sufficient infrastructure which will support rural development,

• increase land availability in rural areas to address existing demands, and

• Increase access to basic services within rural areas.

3.5. HUMAN SETTLEMENTS AND HOUSING STRATEGY

3.5.1 INTRODUCTION

The Housing Sector Plan is intended to guide current and future housing development interventions

and programmes in the municipality within the context of a municipal integrated development plan.

3.5.2 KEY ISSUES

The municipal housing backlog is estimated at 5,213 housing units. Housing issues, in priority order,

are:

• rural housing development,

• urban housing development,

• informal settlements upgrade linked to economic and social services,

• lack of decent affordable housing and high income housing,

• lack of community understanding and awareness of housing policy and programmes,

Page 90: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 90

• land earmarked for housing is mostly under land claims there is thus a lack of secure urban

land,

• greater promotion of local emerging contractor development and job creation required, and

• The Housing Development Department is required to elevate the importance of housing.

3.5.3 OBJECTIVES

The housing vision is: “The development of sustainable human settlements at Mkhondo

Municipality, with a view to ensuring that by 2014 all residents will have access to a housing

opportunity which includes secure tenure, basic services and housing support in a liveable

environment with requisite social, economic and physical infrastructure”.

Housing objectives to achieve the vision are:

• provision of housing for all income groups in Mkhondo,

• provision of affordable housing in strategic development areas close to economic

opportunities,

• facilitation of the delivery of houses at sufficient rate to address current housing backlogs,

and

• instituting measures to address the problem of informal settlements and land invasions.

3.5.4 STRATEGIES

The strategic housing interventions are:

• creation of clear targets for housing delivery,

• implementation of spatial development framework guidelines,

• preparation and implementation of a consistent policy to deal with land invasions and

informal settlements expansions,

• ensuring that housing provision contributes to job creation and economic empowerment

and the historically disadvantaged communities, and

• strategy development for housing living under stressful and dangerous conditions.

Municipal housing programmes to address the aforementioned strategies are:

• informal settlement management and upgrade programme,

• city centre residential development and upgrade programme,

• hostel conversions and company residences,

• special needs housing programme,

• housing ladder gaps delivery programme,

• secondary property market programme, and

• building standards promotion and enforcement programme.

3.5.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The outcomes intended by the Housing Strategy for Mkhondo Local Municipality are:

• to ensure that people living in rural areas and farms have access to good quality houses,

Page 91: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 91

• to provide planned land for housing development in urban areas,

• to eliminate informal settlements and build quality houses,

• to facilitate development of new housing stock catering for affordable and high income

markets,

• to ensure that the community understands all housing related matters and available housing

options,

• to ensure densification in centrally located areas in order to optimize bulk infrastructure

provision,

• to promote contractor development and address unemployment, and

• to build municipal housing development and delivery capacity.

3.6. WATER SERVICES DEVELOPMENT PLAN

3.6.1 INTRODUCTION

A Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) for Mkhondo Local Municipality contains information

that reflects the state of water supply in the Mkhondo municipal area and the areas of improvement

thereof.

With the majority of its population (54%) located in rural villages widely distributed throughout the

municipal area of 4 868 km2, the supply of adequate drinking water both in terms of quantity and

quality to all inhabitants, many of whom live in abject poverty, poses a challenge. Current water

resources include the following:

• Surface water resources for the majority of urban and peri-urban areas:

o Piet Retief from the Assegaai River (currently using 30% more than the licenced amount)

o Amsterdam from a dam on the Athole River

o Driefontein from a water transfer canal fed by Heyshope Dam

• Groundwater sources:

o An estimated total of 540 boreholes supply water to rural communities, farms and rural

schools, with treatment limited to chlorination where required

Note that the additional surface water quantity available in the Usuthu-Mhlatuze Water

Management Area is limited since the source is shared by other municipal areas and major industrial

users. Due to the relatively high rainfall in the region and favourable geological formations,

groundwater sources are widespread, of good quality and deliver fair yields.

The water supply function is done by the municipality which also serves as Water Services Provider

(WSP) and Water Services Authority (WSA). In terms of the Water Services Act, a WSA may perform

the function of a water provider but should manage and account separately for those functions.

Page 92: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 92

3.6.2 KEY ISSUES

Key issues identified recently are the following:

• Many people in the rural areas do not have access to clean drinking water. This fact is

corroborated by information in the WSDP that cites 74% of households (or 62% of the

population) as having access to water to at least within 200 m, and

• Although the quality of water produced at the WTWs has improved, the overall water

quality is not ‘ideal’ (WSDP).

3.6.3 OBJECTIVES

• Improve potable water supply, at acceptable service levels and quality standards, to reach

the entire population, and

• Maintain existing water supply infrastructure.

3.6.4 STRATEGIES

• Increase available potable surface water by extending WTWs where possible, within the

existing legal rights,

• evaluate the groundwater resource potential to enable efficient utilisation of this source in

the rural areas,

• implement infrastructure asset management whereby efficient maintenance can be effected

and timeous system replacements done to prevent asset stripping and catastrophic failures,

by providing increased financial and human resources,

• a water sampling strategy (including groundwater) is required as well as a central database

to effect an integrated management system,

• a Water Safety Plan and Incident Reporting Protocol are proposed to deal with threats from

water pollution,

• there are at present no water conservation or demand management programmes in place

and the WSDP had identified that scope exists for substantial savings to be achieved,

provided data is obtained through proper metering, pressure control is instituted and pipe

leakages reduced, and

• on the financial side, a comprehensive infrastructure investment plan is required, a service

level policy and strategy should then follow where household affordability and infrastructure

is taken into account to institute service level zoning.

The WSDP further makes the following recommendations:

That there are a number of operational issues that can be considered as small but

important, such as the provision of bulk meter at all crucial positions (‘to measure is to

know’). The WSA however, will make the biggest advances should infrastructure asset

management be implemented. The guidelines for asset management are described in detail

in “Local Government Capital Asset Management Guideline” as provided by the National

Treasury.

Page 93: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 93

The implementation of asset management will follow the following phases:

compile infrastructure asset register (compliant to GRAP)

establish required levels of service and municipal strategy

establish asset management and implementation strategy

develop asset management plans

develop financial plans

update the IDP

ultimately, the financial plan should provide undisputable arguments on the

amount of money necessary to manage (operate and maintain) the infrastructure as

intended by the MFMA

3.6.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

• Improved sustainable potable water supply to 80% of the current backlog households

(amounting to about 9 500 households encompassing 38% of the population) within the next

financial year. Therefore the total number of households to be supplied is 7 600; and

• Refurbishment and phased replacement of old infrastructure.

3.7. INTEGRATED TRANSPORT PLAN (DISTRICT)

3.7.1 INTRODUCTION

The municipality has to ensure the provision of a transport system and service which will cater for

the need of all levels and areas of the community, through the provision of a safe, secure, reliable

and affordable transport system and service to support the socio-economic growth of the municipal

area.

This will be achieved by providing in the following principles:

• developing a funding and planning framework that establishes priorities for allocation of

resources to cost-effective infrastructure investments that support the broad goals of the

municipality,

• promotion economic growth by removing unwise and unnecessary regulations and through

public private partnerships,

• ensuring a safe transportation system,

• protection of the environment and conservation of energy,

• facilitating negotiations with all stakeholders on transportation, and

• promotion of effective and equitable joint utilization of transportation infrastructure for

both passenger and freight movements.

3.7.2 KEY ISSUES

The need for the upgrading and expansion of the existing transportation infrastructure within the

municipal area has been identified, since the condition and standard of the system and services has

been neglected for some time.

Page 94: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 94

Many of the road infrastructure and the accompanying storm water drainage systems have not

received the required maintenance for several years and the condition thereof causes unsafe traffic

conditions.

The N2 national road which runs through Mkhondo carries a high volume of heavy traffic, i.e.

transport of freight and the trucks do not have proper over-night parking facilities at Piet Retief.

Note that in terms of Government Notice 726 (Gazette No 27809 of 22 July 2005) the N2 is not

proclaimed as a National Road through the town of Piet Retief and the municipality is thus

responsible for the upkeep of all roads through the town.

The facilities for the bus and taxi transportation service need serious upgrading and expansion to

ensure the safe and secure transport of passengers, including the transport of learners to and from

schools from the various residential areas.

3.7.3 OBJECTIVES

The main objective is to ensure the provision of an integrated transportation system, which will be

safe, secure and reliable. The system will take into consideration the needs of both passenger and

freight transport within all modes, providing the required road infrastructure which forms part of

the spatial development framework of the municipality.

As part of road infrastructure attention will be given to the different activity corridors or places, such

as truck stops, parking areas, weigh bridges and bus/taxi bays along major roads.

Furthermore, it will be ensured that all required road signs are in place, safe and clearly visible.

3.7.4 STRATEGIES

Funds will be applied for from all available financial sources to ensure the provision of:

• rehabilitation of all existing roads prioritized from collector roads to residential roads,

• rehabilitation of the existing storm water drainage system forming part of the road network,

• a truck stop and weigh bridge combination in conjunction with the National Department of

Transport,

• ensuring safe and secure bus and taxi ranks and bays at strategic places to be determined

through a public participation process including all stakeholders along collector roads and

within the central business district, therefore enhancing and expanding the bus and taxi

services, to include the transporting of school children,

• the upgrading of all access roads to the various villages and townships, and

• improve road signage, including road painted signage.

3.7.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The intended outcome will be an integrated transportation system, to be safe, secure, reliable and

affordable, through a public participation process and to the benefit of the total community,

enhancing economic growth of the total area.

3.8.1 INTRODUCTION

According to the Disaster Management Bill 2002, the responsibility of disaster management rests

with government at National, Provincial and Local (Municipalities) level. Within the Mkhondo Local

Municipality’s planning process a Disaster Management Plan is a single inclusive plan that

comprehensively guides all municipal activities, responsibilities and budget allocation in this regard.

3.8.2 KEY ISSUES

Due to the location, topography and the nature of the surrounding environment, the Mkhondo

region is considered potentially vulnerable to the following disasters:

• veld and forest fires, and

• heavy storms and floods.

Secondary risks include:

• strong winds,

• road accidents, and

• spillage of dangerous/hazardous goods and materials.

3.8.3 OBJECTIVES

Disaster management encompasses a continuous, integrated, multi-disciplinary approach that

reduces risk and effectively deals with post disaster recovery and rehabilitation. The Disaster

management plan therefore emphasizes the following aims and objectives:

• preventing or reducing the risk of potential disasters in the Mkhondo Local Municipality

(LM),

• mitigating the impact and consequences of disasters on the infrastructure, environment and

people of the Mkhondo LM,

• complete emergency preparedness in both pre- and post disaster situations,

• ensure an integrated, multi-sectoral response to any form of disaster in a reliable, rapid and

effective manner, and

• ensure comprehensive post-disaster recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

3.8.4 STRATEGIES

In order to accomplish the preset objectives, the Disaster Management Plan makes consideration for

a direct strategy that will allow the realization of desired outcomes. These strategies include:

Preparedness

Although a lot of emphasis is placed on prevention and mitigation processes it is and will remain

essential to ensure a sufficient level of preparedness amongst the community within the Mkhondo

LM. The following principles can be highlighted:

• initiate effective utilization of the new disaster management centre that is being

constructed,

Page 96: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 96

• co-ordinate the training of councillors and officials, communities and all external role

players,

• providing awareness and educational campaigns for local communities, and

• assess and evaluate the level of preparedness in the Mkhondo area on an ongoing basis.

Mitigation

Mitigation refers to the systematic reduction in the extent of exposure to a disaster and/or the

likelihood of its occurrence, and can be summarized under the following categories:

1) Risk assessment

It is expected that an in depth risk assessment is done in order to highlight areas that are potentially

disaster prone. These areas should then be classified as either high- or low-risk zones and should be

allocated with resources and infrastructure accordingly.

2) Warning system

The disaster management centre will be required to act as repository of, and conduit for information

concerning issues regarding potential disasters and disaster management. Additionally it will have

to fulfil the following functions:

• collect information on potential disasters and disaster management,

• process and analyze available information, and

• develop and maintain an electronic database allowing efficient availability of information.

3) Risk reduction

Strategies intended to reduce the risk of disasters include:

• effective coordination of structures for integrated disaster management

• intensive awareness campaigns

• ensure provision of sufficient equipment and machinery – request funds

Reconstruction and rehabilitation

An essential part of effective disaster management is to have specific post disaster strategies in

place that will limit the destructive long-term effects of any disaster within the Mkhondo region.

These include:

• re-design and re-construct infrastructure in such a manner that it is secured against similar

disaster in future,

• ensure that all new infrastructures adheres to engineering codes and standards, and

• in addition to providing rapid and effective emergency rescue and relief, also provide the

necessary counselling and rehabilitation.

3.8.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The disaster management plan’s intention is to effectively prevent potential disasters. Additionally it

strives to facilitate awareness; deduce risk; mitigate effects; ensure rapid emergency relief and

response; and to assist in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

3.9. SANITATION MANAGEMENT PLAN

3.9.1 INTRODUCTION

A Water Services Development Plan (WSDP) for the Mkhondo Local Municipality has been compiled

in the first half of 2009 and a draft document dated July 2009 is available. Formal adoption by

Council has not been done since the Municipality was placed under administration at this time. The

information in the document should, however, be a fair reflection of the state of sanitation services

in the Mkhondo municipal area.

With the majority of its population (54%) located in rural villages widely distributed throughout the

municipal area of 4 868 km2, the supply of adequate sanitation to all inhabitants, many of whom are

living in poverty, poses a challenge.

Current sanitation levels are as follows:

• up to a minimum standard of VIP toilets: Only 53% of the population (or 65% of households)

are served, and

• of the households served to RDP levels, 73% have wet intermediate or full water-borne

sanitation, while 27% have VIP toilets.

An Audit Report of the WWTW’s dated 2008 shows the following compliance ratings:

Piet Retief WWTW: 50%

Amsterdam WWTW: 100% (but fails on microbiological standards and pH values are of concern)

Other WTW’s located at Rustplaats and Hartebeesfontein are oxidation ponds.

Of interest is the fact that the Municipality has eradicated the bucket system on all registered sites,

but it does not have a program for monitoring and emptying sludge build-up in VIP toilets.

3.9.2 KEY ISSUES

Key issues identified are the following:

• Piet Retief WWTW requires upgrading since it is operating at 6 to 7 Mℓ/day and was

designed for 5 Mℓ/day,

• as described above, many households (more than 10 000 in June 2009) require VIP toilets,

• water-borne toilets to be provided in townships as the water supply is improved,

Page 98: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 98

• the septic tanks in the old portion of Amsterdam to be phased out and replaced by

reticulation to the WWTW which has large current spare capacity, and

• the threat of VIP’s to the environment should be evaluated and overflows prevented by

emptying the sludge on a regular basis in sensitive areas.

3.9.3 OBJECTIVES

• To reduce by half the proportion of people without access to basic sanitation, i.e. VIP’s, by

2014, in line with District Municipality’s goals as given in the WSDP, and

• to refurbish, maintain and operate the WWTW’s, sewer pipe network and VIP’s to levels

where pollution of the environment is minimised and household services improved.

3.9.4 STRATEGIES

• Develop a clearly defined waterborne sanitation strategy, including a well motivated service

level strategy,

• the existing Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) to be provided with effluent flow

meters so that the quantity of treated water released into rivers and streams can be

accurately determined,

• urgent training and capacity building of most of the staff working at the treatment plants are

required, since they are not qualified or registered with the Department of Water Affairs

(DWA),

• a water sampling strategy (including groundwater) is required as well as a central database

to effect an integrated management system,

• a Water Safety Plan and Incident Reporting Protocol are proposed to deal with threats from

water pollution, and

• on the financial side, a comprehensive infrastructure investment plan is required, a service

level policy and strategy should then follow where household affordability and infrastructure

is taken into account to institute service level zoning.

3.9.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

Ensuring improved sustainable sanitation services to the benefit of households and the

environment.

3.10. INTEGRATED HIV AND AIDS STRATEGY

3.10.1 INTRODUCTION

The HIV and AIDS strategy is a response mechanism that will guide the LM in coordinating

programmes, interventions and activities in order to alleviate the effects of HIV/AIDS in the area.

3.10.2 KEY ISSUES

• Economic situation

Page 99: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 99

Both the high poverty and unemployment rate is regularly cited as one of the main contributors to

risky behaviour and general reluctance to treatment in the Mkhondo LM.

• Cultural structure

The Mkhondo LM is highly influenced by cultures where it is still common to find women being

disempowered, making them unable to exercise their right to consent to sexual activity. Polygamy as

well as superstitious beliefs are also common factors that contribute, albeit to a lesser extent, to the

spread of HIV/AIDS.

• Religious situation

Although the majority of churches, which has a vast influence in the community, discourage pre-

marital sex, it is a subject that is generally avoided.

• Social security

Child support grants are often seen as a means to an income, which leads to unprotected sexual

activity with the intention of becoming pregnant. Similarly, for an individual to qualify for an RDP

house, that individual has to have dependents, leading again to unprotected sexual activity with the

intention of becoming pregnant. Furthermore, some women and even children may become

inclined to become sex-workers in order to secure some form of income.

3.10.3 OBJECTIVES

The following main objectives have been set out in order to manage HIV/AIDS at local government

level:

• education, awareness, openness and prevention,

• increased treatment and care for people living with HIV/AIDS,

• care for orphans,

• coordination and partnerships, and

• monitoring and evaluation.

3.10.4 STRATEGIES

The Mkhondo local municipality HIV/AIDS strategy makes consideration for the following strategies

on key priority areas:

Prevention

• increase voluntary counselling and testing by 100% by 2011,

• reduce the negative stigma surrounding HIV, and

• put emphasis on behavioural change.

Treatment, care and support

• make anti-retroviral drugs available to all health care facilities, and

• enable an environment for sustainable home and community based care services.

Human rights and access to justice

Page 100: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 100

• eradicate discrimination and encourage equal treatment of people irrespective of their HIV

status,

• set up structures that allows individuals to realize their basic human rights, and

Research, monitoring and evaluation

• ensure appropriate distribution of resources for project implementation, and

• Design and implement a simple cost effective system that will monitor and guide all

interventions in Mkhondo.

Coordination and partnership

Achieve an effective multi-sectoral approach that has stable, focused representation and

participation from all departments and stakeholders.

3.10.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The intended outcome of the Mkhondo HIV/AIDS strategy is to educate and inform the community

and direct municipal conduct in regard to alleviating the effect of HIV on local communities.

3.11. PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

3.11.1 INTRODUCTION

The White Paper on Local Government provides an outline for local municipalities to adopt a

developmental approach. It highlights the importance of performance management and community

participation in confronting the legacy of underdevelopment and poverty within municipal areas.

Additionally, the Municipal Systems Act call for municipalities to develop performance management

systems that includes specific performance targets based on the goals as set out in the IDP of each

particular municipality.

3.11.2 KEY ISSUES

The Mkhondo local municipality currently has the following key issues in regard to performance

management:

• no performance management framework,

• no performance development plans,

• limited incentive amongst employees to perform better,

• lack of desire and motivation to increase productivity, and

• limited direction and focus due to the lack of performance targets.

3.11.3 OBJECTIVES

Page 101: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 101

A performance management system should be a systematic process designed to articulate and

measure employee and managerial performance in order to increase the efficiency of the

municipality. It should aim to assist every employee in reaching his/her full potential to facilitate the

municipality’s commitment to effective service delivery.

Performance management can therefore be summarized primarily as a tool to ensure accountability

from:

• the municipality to the community,

• the executive committee to the council,

• the administration to the executive committee or executive mayor,

• all managers to the municipal manager, and

• all employees to the municipal organization.

Additional objectives of the performance management framework are to:

• improve performance and service delivery,

• cultivate a positive, motivated and driven workforce,

• develop skills,

• share responsibility, and

• measure outcomes.

3.11.4 STRATEGIES

The following strategic factors need to be applied in the development and implementation of a

performance management framework for the Mkhondo local municipality:

Focused initialization

• Each local municipality has to accept the responsibility of devising a well planned

performance management framework that addresses specific aims and is clearly understood

by every employee,

• establish a project team that will be responsible for practically implementing the

performance management process,

• ensure participation across all levels in order to realize the overall goals and objectives of

the municipal organization, and

• setting out precise and challenging targets.

Monitoring and motivation

• Monitoring involves a process of making accurate and objective performance observations

based on the expected outcomes and targets for each employee and the municipality as an

entity,

• continuous motivation and feed-back is necessary in order to support and inspire employees

to reach their potential, and

Page 102: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 102

• monitoring also entails the collection of all relevant data, documenting results and providing

support.

Evaluation

• Evaluation should be done by multiple sources, preferable by those individuals who has the

best opportunity to accurately and regularly observe performance,

• performance evaluation should be based on a scoring system with the use of performance

charts, and

• the evaluation process should guard against being overly critical, but rather encourage

employees to maintain and improve their levels of performance.

Recognition and reward

• Recognition should be based on achieving goals set out in the performance management

framework and IDP,

• Providing rewards for outstanding behaviour will mean that employees are encouraged to

continuously improve performance,

• The importance of caring should not be underestimated as compensation for loyalty,

commitment and performance, and

• Recognition and reward can include performance bonuses (monetary or otherwise), time-

off, increased benefits etc.

3.11.5 INTENDED OUTCOMES

The outcome of the performance management framework is to establish a culture of excellence

amid the employees and stakeholders of the Mkhondo local municipality. Each individual should

strive to develop him/her according to their potential in order for the municipal organization to

achieve the developmental goals and objectives as outlined by the IDP.

3.12. FINANCIAL PLAN

The Municipal Finance Management Act No. 56 of 2003 (MFMA) requires the municipality to align its

Integrated Development Plan (IDP) with its budget preparation process. It further requires the

municipality to take all reasonable steps to ensure the municipality revises the IDP in terms of

Section 34 of the MSA, taking into account realistic revenue and expenditure projections for future

years.

Budget Summary

Operating Budget

The development of the annual operating budget is a process that starts with Mkhondo

Municipality’s Council focus areas and the development of the fiscal framework. The framework is

Page 103: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 103

presented to Council to provide an overview of revenues and expenditures, based on a status quo

level of service. With this review, Council then provides staff with direction regarding the

assumptions that underlie the development of the budget ensuring that the expenditure target

incorporates Council priorities and strategic direction for the upcoming fiscal year.

FINANCIAL STRATEGY

As part of Mkhondo Municipality’s financial and other strategies there are a variety of policies and

tools which interact with the operating and capital budget process:

A three year financial strategy outlines Council’s principles of financial management as well as its

reserve, debt and capital spending policies. All Mkhondo Municipality’s Business Units should

developed business plans, including an overview of their operations, a financial and resource

utilisation summary, an analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing each Unit, and a

summary of the goals for the Business Unit, including specific objectives relating to these goals.

Each Business Unit should also provide a summary of their accomplishments against their previous

plan, and develop performance measures applicable to gauge their efforts.

Multi-Year Financial Strategy

Mkhondo Municipality’s three year financial strategy responds to a number of objectives such as:

To understand the baseline

• To anticipate future operating, capital and reserve requirements

• To reasonably predict assessment rates and debt requirements in advance to make decisions

in an appropriate time frame with as broad a consultation process as Council requires

• To develop targets for services with clear links between costs, services and financial capacity

To develop a basis for financial responsibility in future decision-making, the municipality must

assume the principles of financial management which will provide a framework for business

planning, operational effectiveness and discipline and restraint in spending and funding.

The municipality must

• fully adhere to generally recognised accounting practice, and the objectives

of financial Statements as required by the Municipal Finance Management

Act, Act 56 of 2003

• make decisions based on sound business planning and a full understanding

of the financial implications of operating each unit.

• set budgets which are based upon reasonable, supportable and complete

assumptions that Council and management believe reflect the most

probable set of economic conditions and planned courses of actions. To be

reasonable, these assumptions need to be consistent with the business

plans of the unit.

• Mkhondo Municipality’s Council and Management will develop and adopt a

sustainable plan for reducing debt servicing and a plan for enhancing and

sustaining reserves.

• Council will implement a prioritised three-year capital budget, recognising

that individual communities have differing needs.

Page 104: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 104

The implications of implementing a three year financial strategy require a focus on continuing work

plans that will integrate financial factors into Mkhondo Municipality’s decision making.

REVENUE RAISING STRATEGY

Mkhondo Municipality’s most significant source of revenue is from grants. The contribution of the

various alternative streams of revenue will be subject to review. The Local Economic Develop

strategy should be developed in order to attract local and international investment for job creation

and business development.

The revival of Mkhondo Cultural village (Tourism Centre) will boost the economy through tourism,

therefore injecting operating income from rental of the facility to local and international visitors.

The municipality will rigorously engage in a process of identifying all uneconomic and unutilised

assets for the purpose of disposing them resulting in additional revenue from the proceeds thereof.

Customers should be encouraged to pay their outstanding debts through the implementation of a

debt management solution.

In order to enhance revenue, the following areas need urgent management intervention

• Implementation of the Geographic Information System

• Meter audit to be done

• Collection of arrears through pre paid system

• Proper indigent control

• Data cleansing

• Proper utilisation of all revenue sources

ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

One of the critical areas in the financial management is the development and maintenance of a

GRAP compliant fixed asset register. As highlighted in previous years’ audits, a number of key issues

relating to the maintenance of the asset register on the accounting system need urgent attention.

Mkhondo municipality expects the following business values to be gained through the

implementation of this project:

• compiled Fixed Assets Register which is GRAP compliant;

• ongoing improvement of the internal financial controls; and

• a management tool that enables Mkhondo to identify responsible officials in instances where

evidence of non-compliance with asset management requirements comes to the attention of

management.

The implementation of the reviewed Fixed Assets Policy and the Asset Disposal Policy will assist the

municipality in ensuring that a realistic asset register is compiled.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

In order to achieve and maintain sound financial management, financial controls and policies must

be developed, reviewed and implemented to ensure compliance with legislation and internal

Page 105: Mkhondo idp final 19 May 2011 - cogta.mpg.gov.za€¦ · Municipality for 2011/2012 Financial Year ... DMA District Management Area NEPAD New Partnership for Africa’s Development

MKHONDO LOCAL MUNICIPALITY Draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2011-2016

Page | 105

controls. The following key financial policies were developed and reviewed and are pending council

approval for implementation:

• Supply Chain Management

• Fixed Assets

• Asset Disposal

• Cash Management

• Investment

• Budget

CAPITAL ASSETS STRATEGY

Mkhondo Municipality’s infrastructure and major capital assets support the delivery of municipal

services, its future prosperity, economic development, competitiveness, public safety, and overall

quality of life. The long term sustainability of the existing infrastructure and corporate assets directly

impacts the ability to provide quality service to the community. Faced with a growing community the

dwelling units and demand for sustainable, efficient, and effective service delivery has increased. In

addition to these demands on existing resources, new infrastructure, assets, and service capacity

improvements are proposed to support community-based initiatives such as the town plan,

community visions, the cultural plan, the active transportation plan, sustainability initiatives,

economic strategy, and the community facility plan.

Despite the fact that additional resources have been consistently applied to Mkhondo Municipality’s

capital budget in recent years, the demand and cost of services has grown at a pace that exceeds the

municipality’s funding capability. The gap is steadily growing between the demand for service and

the ability to fund both maintenance of deteriorating infrastructure and acquisition and construction

of new infrastructure. This "Infrastructure Gap" represents a significant challenge to Mkhondo

Municipality for the foreseeable future.
