ANALYSIS OVERVIEW



STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY

▪ According to the Municipal Systems Act, each Municipal Council must, within a prescribed period after its elected term, adopt a single, inclusive strategic plan for the development of the municipality. However, our Predecessor Council already adopted a draft IDP. We, in an endeavor to execute our political mandate, followed the path laid by them and adopted the draft IDP with amendments made considering the contract we made with the people of Waterberg during the local government elections.

▪ The tasks given to local government entail more demanding capabilities and performance. This means that we are not only expected to find the means for addressing traditional local government challenges of delivering basic services to the people, but we are supposed to find strategies and mechanisms that are potent enough to remove the many bottlenecks which stand in the way of sustainable development in a local jurisdiction. The IDP document that we adopted will serve as a blue-print that will gauge service delivery and timely implementation.

▪ The next five years will be fundamentally different regarding the kind of support that both national and provincial government spheres will be providing to municipalities. Different in that, it will be characterized by intensive intergovernmental collaboration, and of course hands-on support.

▪ To all my colleagues, both from the Political authority and the administrative arm, It is my understanding, that as we carry out this contract entered into with our people, we will appraise it with 100% ownership of all the things that were discussed and agreed upon, we will implement it with full preparedness to provide developmental support to all municipalities in the district.

▪ It is only when we are 100% committed that we stand a chance of realising these local government strategic priorities.



▪ One of the critical things we need to do in the next five years is to build and strengthen the capacity of newly elected mayors and councillors, particularly women. This objective is also consistent with building a democratic, non-racial and non-sexist South Africa. We should do so by putting in place targeted support programmes for our women mayors and councillors, and not rejoice at their failures.

▪ The success of the integrated development plan as enshrined herein caters also for development of infrastructure is dependant on the competencies of Councillors, municipal officials, and service providers

















▪ Infrastructure is the cornerstone of social upliftment and economic development. In particular, fast tracking Infrastructure delivery will also contribute to the Accelerated Shared Growth Initiative for South Africa (ASGISA), and also assist in achieving the targeted economic growth rate of 6% through job creation as well as the establishment of well-serviced areas conducive for economic investment and development. On achieving the 6% growth, we need to sustain this by maintaining the infrastructure assets. We believe that we have built the basis for a national effort to achieve faster and shared economic growth. With this programme we can achieve our social objectives and we can more than meet the Millennium Development Goals. Our municipality has allocated sufficient funding to kick start a basis for the development of proper infrastructure in needy areas. Local Government as the custodian of community infrastructure such as roads, waste disposal sites, water and sanitation systems, and public facilities. Most importantly we will intensify assets management efforts in a sustainable manner to best serve the interests of communities and enable local economic development.

STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT BY MANAGEMENT

▪ The strategic plan as detailed herein is informed by the successes in the previous implementation and service delivery initiatives and seeks to provide a framework within which our municipality will address the remaining challenges as we enter the second decade of freedom.

▪ The overall thrust of our plan centres on building the capacity of the district municipality and the local municipalities to implement government’s development programmes. The interests of ordinary people in the district continue to inform the strategic institutional thrust of the district municipality.

▪ It is also a building block on what has been done since the inception of local government in 2000 and encompass a five year strategy for the future, with a firm focus on the mid-term planning. The refined vision and mission put additional emphasis on the following:

▪ Establishing the needs of communities through Inclusive and participatory processes

▪ Render effective, efficient and sustainable services

▪ Ensure a better life for all

▪ In this manner our municipality should make a meaningful contribution to government’s vision of our future embodied in vision 2014. Management and staff of the WDM recommit themselves to work tirelessly at enabling Council to realise the targets for 2014 that include the following:

▪ Reducing unemployment by half

▪ Reducing poverty by half

▪ Providing the skills required by the district economy

▪ Improving services to achieve a better life

▪ We will strive to do so informed by our municipality’s intention to play its role in “‘Building a people’s contract to create work and fight poverty ” .

▪ We will do so guided by the strategic objectives of the municipality which provide a guideline that we will follow as management and staff in executing Council’s mandate. Specific outputs, indicators and outcomes are central to fulfilling this mandate. All Service Business Units will be implementing their programmes on the basis of detailed action plans informed by the strategic plan.









▪ •

▪ We will further ensure that Council’s obligation of community participation is structured in such a manner that ’all district stakeholders continue to support our municipality as we mobilise our people’s individual and collective efforts to implement government’s programmes at provincial and local level. This includes partnerships with the three spheres of government, civil society and the private sector. Our goal is to accelerate the shared growth initiative and invest in the life’s of our people a new age of hope

▪ We thank the sterling contribution of the predecessor Council, Mayoral Committee, all three spheres of government and parastatals, members of the public, business community and organs of civil society and our many stakeholders who have interacted with us and brought valuable insights to this strategic plan. Lastly, I thank the committed staff of WDM that continues to find joy in serving the people of the district.

CHAPTER 2:

ALIGNMENT AND HARMONISATION

2. INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Development Planning is “… a participatory approach to integrate economic, sectoral, spatial, social, institutional, environmental and fiscal strategies in order to support the optimal allocation of scarce resources between sectors and geographical areas and across the population in a manner that provides sustainable growth, equity and the empowerment of the poor and the marginalized…”. (Forum for Effective Planning and Development[1] (FEPD), 1995).

Integrated Development Planning is a cooperative and continuous process that is undertaken by the Municipality and leads to the adoption of the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and its annual revision based on new data and changing circumstances. The Municipality’s IDP is concerned with the allocation of public resources in the most effective and efficient way so as to provide a framework for community, economic, and environmentally sustainable development at the local level. The IDP has legal status. It is the instrument for the strategic management of the Municipality and decision-making by the Council. The IDP ensures a cooperative approach by the National, Provincial and Local spheres of government to develop and implement projects and programmes on a priority basis which will empower and benefit the community.

Each sphere of government in South Africa has to see to the optimal allocation and application of resources for its area of jurisdiction. Development Planning is therefore an executive function as it has to be overseen by the highest political office at each sphere and should be ratified by the elected political representatives in that sphere. Development Planning has to determine the way in which each sphere sets its budget. Its influence should extend beyond that of government resources and it must serve to mobilize off-budget resources (State Owned Enterprises, private sector and NGOs). Development Plans also serve to inform the actions of a range of role players, so they have a broader role than merely establishing a one-to-one relationship with budgets. They should also serve to inspire and guide the self-action of communities and residents by presenting a clear vision for the area and long, medium and short-term development priorities and objectives.

Development Planning is a core part of the service delivery and development process. Service delivery and development cannot occur without identifying relevant actions, programming the activities and setting in place the requisite resources. The relevant actions are the ones that have the most impact on addressing poverty and growing the economy. They are sustainable and lead to long-term benefits for a particular area and its people. It is always a challenge to determine these relevant actions in the face of huge needs and limited resources. It requires formulating strategies that are innovative, inter-sectoral and spatially targeted.

Development Planning is also central to any performance management system. The setting of development objectives and targets is the basis for measuring performance through appropriate monitoring and evaluation steps. Development Planning is therefore a part of an integrated system of planning and delivery and does not sit as an isolated process de-linked from the actual functioning of a municipality, province or the country.

The IDP relationship between the three spheres of government can be illustrated as follows:

2.1 Local Government Sphere

Development Planning in the Local Government sphere is conducted through the Integrated Development Planning instrument. Each municipality in terms of the Municipal Systems Act (2000) is responsible for formulating, adopting and implementing and Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The Mayor is responsible for the IDP and it has to be adopted by the municipal council. Community participation and involvement is central to IDPs. Communities are encouraged to organize themselves and take care of their own development working together with government. Community/Ward based planning can be a useful way for making more structured inputs in the IDP process and for organizing community/ward based self-action. IDPs are not a mere collection of community needs or plans but are municipal-wide plans that have to take community needs into account together with wider strategic issues incorporating provincial and national priorities and strategies. Mediating these various interests the IDP should reflect the best possible development decisions and trade-offs that focus on viability and economic, social, environmental, financial and institutional sustainability.

2.2 Provincial Government Sphere

Development planning in the provincial sphere occurs through the Provincial Growth & Development Strategies (PGDSs) that are driven by the Premier’s office and adopted by the provincial cabinet. Currently there is no national legislative framework that governs the formulation, adoption and implementation of PGDSs. Nevertheless in practice all provinces do formulate an overarching strategic framework. The PGDS should have effect over the entire province and therefore needs to be completed in consultation with municipalities and key provincial stakeholders. The PGDS and IDPs should be aligned so that a common strategic path is followed and there is complement in the way resources are allocated and in the way delivery occurs.

2.3 National Government Sphere

Development Planning at national level occurs through the Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF). The MTSF is prepared by the Presidency and approved by the national Cabinet. Like the PGDS, the MTSF currently does not have a legal status. The influencing nature of the MTSF over the national budget is still limited. This will improve as the inter-sectoral, geographical and people-centred focus of the MTSF is deepened, and as institutional preparedness issues are addressed.

Intergovernmental Planning, that is, the coordination of development planning across the three spheres of government is a critical area for improvement in order to realize the objective of optimal resource allocation and implementation for the state as a whole for the purpose of eradicating poverty and growing the economy. Enhanced development planning across government will contribute to the existing Planning Framework that includes the planning cycle which culminates in the MTSF and annual State of Nation Address.

The IDP Hearing analysis together with an analysis of provincial capacities (and an analysis of District – Wide IDP Consultative Meetings) forms the basis of the Intergovernmental Planning support strategy that focuses on an action plan relevant to the context of the Limpopo Province and Waterberg District Municipalities. The strategic objectives of the support strategy are:

2.3.1. Entrench integrated development planning as an approach by improving the perceptions and understanding of key role players

2.3.2. Improve the capacity of municipalities to plan so that they develop realistic and creative strategies that ensures sustainable,

integrated and targeted development spending and infrastructure investment in a municipal area,

2.3.3 Improve the capacity of municipalities to implement so that they ensure feasible and effective municipal operation, service delivery

and development, monitoring, evaluation and review,

2.3.4 Improve provincial-municipal as well as inter-sectoral cooperation in prioritization, resource allocation and implementation,

2.3.5 Improve the capability of provincial government and districts to give effect to their constitutional and legal obligations to support

municipalities,

2.3.6 Ensure the coordination and effective implementation of the various support initiatives, and

2.3.7 Support the municipalities that have no/very limited structural capacity with frame conditions and establishment processes.

In order to strive towards a developmental state that will enhance service delivery and lives of people, the appropriate mechanisms and support will be required from all actors in government. Issues like alignment and programme linkages, communication in structures, support from national, to provincial and local (financial, procedural and human resources) and sector involvement in development planning all calls for integration at each level of government, horizontal and vertical.

It is imperative that the support needs to be structured at various levels of national, provincial and local structures (political and technical) and the rules of engagement must be clearly communicated for all role players to know what role they are playing and how to play it effectively.

To further forge alignment across the three spheres of governance the following clusters has been established and meeting regularly except the infrastructure cluster and the structural arrangements are as depicted in table 1.1. below. These structures meet quarterly and discuss issues that provide content to the agenda of the District Intergovernmental Forum that is also held quarterly.

CHAPTER 4:

PROCESS PLANNING

4.THE PLANNING PROCESS AND INTRODUCTION OF INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Integrated development planning is one of the key tools for local government to cope with its new role and function in terms of the Constitution of The Republic of South Africa, 1996 and other applicable legislation. In contrast to the role planning has played in the past, Integrated Development Planning is now seen as a function of municipal management, as part of an integrated system of planning and delivery. The Integrated Development Planning process is meant to arrive at decisions on issues such as municipal budgets, land management, social and economic development and Institutional transformation in a consultative, systematic and strategic manner.

Integrated Development Planning is a process through which municipalities prepare a strategic development plan, for a five-year period. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a product of the integrated development planning process. The IDP is the principal strategic planning instrument that guides and informs all planning, budgeting, management and decision-making in a municipality. It is a tool for bridging the gap between the current reality and the vision of satisfying the needs of the whole community in an equitable and sustainable manner. Integrated development planning will enable municipalities to develop strategic policy capacity to mobilise resources and to target their activities. In practice the IDP is a comprehensive strategic business plan for the municipality over the short and medium term.

Under the new Constitution, local government has a new, expanded role to play. In addition to the traditional role of providing services, municipalities must now lead, manage and plan for development and also play an active role in social and human development. In addition to ensuring that all citizens have access to at least a minimum level of basic services, municipalities must now also take a leading role in addressing poverty, and in promoting local economic and social development.

They must not only deliver on present demands for services, they must also anticipate future demands and find ways to provide services in an effective,efficient and sustainable manner over the short, medium and long term.

The value of integrated development planning for municipalities lies in the formulation of focused plans, based on developmental priorities. It is essential to spend the limited council resources on the key development priorities of the local community. This is the essence of the IDP - how to align the projects,plans, budgets and other council resources, as well as the budgets, programmes, etc. of Provincial and National Government with the sustainable development priorities of the community.

4.1 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The IDP process requires that all role-players are fully aware of their own, as well as other role-players’ responsibilities in the execution of the IDP process.

The roles and responsibilities of the various spheres of government and other relevant stakeholders are as follows:

• The role of the national sphere of government is to provide a legal framework, policy guidelines and principles for sectoral, provincial and local government planning. National government’s involvement in the process was basically restricted to the input from specific departments (e.g. DWAF) rendering services in the provinces and to assist and guide municipalities in the integrated development planning process;

• The role of the provincial sphere of government is to monitor the IDP process on a provincial level, facilitate horizontal alignment of the IDP’s of district municipalities within the province and to ensure that vertical/sector alignment took place between provincial sector departments and the municipal planning process;

• The role of the Waterberg District Municipality is firstly to compile a 5 - year IDP as part of an integrated system of planning and delivery, which will serve as an outline for all future development activities within the municipal area. Secondly, the district

municipality is also responsible to effect horizontal alignment of the IDP’s of the municipalities, vertical alignment between district and local planning and the facilitation of vertical alignment of IDP’s with other spheres of government and sector departments; and

• The input and participation of corporate service providers, private sector, NGO’s, representatives of organised stakeholder groups,

etc. in the IDP process is important as these stakeholders are involved in providing goods and rendering services in the municipal area and to inform the planning process of issues, problems and constraints experienced, opportunities that exists and areas of potential intervention.

The following diagram indicates the organizational structure that was established to ensure the institutionalisation of the IDP process, the effective management of the drafting of the IDP and to ensure proper and sufficient stakeholder participation in decision-making.

The Waterberg District Municipality's approach to Review process was based on a community and issue driven approach. Although the District Municipality is legally obliged to review and approve an Integrated Development Plan and to align all actions, projects, programmes etc. according to the issues in terms of the IDP, the approach followed by the Waterberg District Municipality included the facilitation and capturing of issues identified by the community that relates to the competency of other stakeholders and that should be addressed by these stakeholders.

The IDP review process officially commenced in October 2005.

The planning process necessitated that various meetings and workshops be held with government departments, organizations, bodies and institutions through the established IDP structures.

The above-mentioned meetings were held on a regular basis at predetermined dates and giving participants sufficient notice of such meetings. The composition of the meetings were done to suit the local circumstances of the Waterberg District Municipality and to ensure that sufficient representation and participation on district and local level could be achieved. Most of the work was done at the Steering Committee level, while public participation took place during Representative Forum meetings and district imbizos held in local municipalities, where local needs and issues were raised. Reports on progress with the IDP process were given to the Representative Forum for discussion. The District Strategic retreat with local municiplities was primarily responsible for alignment of processes, projects and budgets between the district and local municipalities.

4.5 SELF-ASSESSMENT OF THE PLANNING PROCESS

The assessment of the IDP process was done in terms of the following criteria:

• IDP Review process (methodology) as contained in the IDP Guidelines;

• Content requirements of the IDP as stipulated in the IDP Guidelines;

• Public participation;

• Co-ordination with local municipalities in terms of time frames;

• Integration of planning processes and budgets with local municipalities; and

• Integration with national and provincial governments.

|CRITERIA |ASSESSMENT |

| | |The IDP Guide Pack provides sufficient guidelines that can be followed to complete the IDP. |

4.6 SELF-ASSESSMENT OF THE IDP REVIEW PLANNING PROCESS

CHAPTER 5:

DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW

5.1. DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW

The Waterberg District Municipality is in the western section of the Limpopo Province sharing the provincial border with Botswana. There are five border control posts with Botswana at Groblersbrug, Stockpoort, Derdepoort, Zanziba and Platjan. Within the province, it shares its borders with Capricorn District Municipality to the north and Sekhukhune District to the east. The south-western boundary of the district abuts the Northwest Province and the south-eastern boundary the Gauteng Province. Entry points (roads) to the district from Sekhukhune are the N11, Gauteng the N1 (national road) and R101, from Northwest the R159 and R133.

The analysis overview provided in the Revised Waterberg IDP document serves as a reference framework and should be read in conjunction with the various analysis reports compiled as part of each of the sector plans. A brief overview of the study area, socio-economic analysis, spatial and land-use analysis, infrastructure, social services, economic potential and the environment is provided. For a more detailed fact file, the relevant sector plan analysis reports should be consulted.

The Waterberg District Municipality’s area of jurisdiction is made up of six local municipalities, as follows:

• Bela Bela Local Municipality, comprising the town Bela Bela, Bela Bela Township and urban & rural settlement.

• Lephalale Local Municipality, comprising the town Lephalale and numerous peri-urban and rural settlements.

• Modimolle Local Municipality, comprising the town Modimolle and urban/peri-urban settlements.

• Mogalakwena Local Municipality, comprising the town Mokopane and numerous urban/peri-urban and rural settlements.

• Mookgophong Local Municipality, comprising the town Mookgopong, Mookgophong Township and Roedtan.

• Thabazimbi Local Municipality, comprising the town Thabazimbi, Thabazimbi Township and urban settlement.

DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW

The district contains 11.6% of the Limpopo Province’s total population that is estimated at approximately 5.2 million with an average population density of 52.5 people per square km. This varies widely across the municipalities, from 147 people per square kilometre in the Mogalakwena Municipal area to six people per square kilometre in Mookgophong Municipal area. Mogalakwena Municipality is home to 48.6% of the district’s people (298 419 people) while just 5% of the population live in Mookgophong Municipality.

The majority of population within Waterberg is in the age groups of 0-19yrs contributing 46.6% of the total population, and a gradual decline of people as from the age of 20years to 85years. Furthermore, the male population group constitute a higher number than females in Mookgophong and Thabazimbi. Over 44% of Waterberg’s population is under 19 years old. Coupled with this figure is a high number of elderly residents in the area, as reflected hereunder. This implies that many people in Waterberg are dependent on the income of others.

SOURCE SSA 2001 CENSUS

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a reliable indicator of development. It measures life expectancy; literacy and income and shows a slight increase across all areas in the district. This suggests that while the economic situation in terms of lack of income and unemployment is increasing, there have been some gains in terms of service.

Household income levels are low. Almost all of the households within the Waterberg Municipal area (94%) record income levels of R1 – R6 400; and 26% earn between R6 001 and R18 000 a year. This translates into approximately 80% of households having annual incomes below R18 001.

Education levels are generally low. Only 11% of Waterberg’s population have matriculated or have above matriculation qualifications. At least 14% have no formal schooling. A comparison of the levels of education across the municipalities point to the strong links between low household incomes, high unemployment and low human development index.

In terms of the economic profile of the Waterberg District, the area combines elements of a sophisticated and globalised industrial economy with an under-developed agricultural sector, where household production levels are reportedly declining and where the majority of the population now depends on state pension and welfare as primary sources of subsistence. The district is consequently characterised by huge discrepancies in wealth and skills. The key sectors in the district (as defined by their contribution to GDP) include agriculture, hunting, forestry & fishing Industry as a dominant employer, with 24% of the employed population within the District, followed by Community, Social & Personal Services Industry with 15% of the employed population. Few people are involved in the electricity, gas and water supply Industry constituting 0, 8% of the employed population. Tourism is also a significant contributor to GDP and employment in the district.

Despite the high agricultural production potential agriculture continues to contribute only 3.6% towards the economy of Waterberg District Municipality. Many local municipalities continue to import agricultural products outside their boundaries despite this potential. This is probably explained by low levels of development, especially high levels of poverty and poor infrastructural development, suggesting that potential and emerging farmers have limited access to resources necessary for production. Again, agriculture continues to contribute far less than expected to formal employment opportunities, and gross geographic production. These reflect a need for aggressive intervention in providing resources and infrastructure that will encourage agricultural production and hence increase employment opportunities.

ANALYSIS

6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANNING

6.1.1. ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW

Waterberg District Municipality has many sensitive and conservation worthy areas within its region, such as wetlands, river systems, cultural sites, rare and endangered species and of course Waterberg Biosphere. There are also many areas, which require remedial attention, i.e. the eradication of alien vegetation, erosion control and aspects which require special management, such as pollution and land use. This special and varied environment also presents many opportunities for the economic development of the area.

Environmental degradation in the form of soil erosion, overgrazing and habitat destruction are key issues affecting the quality of the land, while over exploitation and lack of effective control are key issues.

6.2 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

6.2.1 SPATIAL AND LAND USE OVERVIEW

Waterberg District Municipality covers an area of approximately 4 951 882ha. The municipal area consists mainly of commercial farms, game farming, etc. and only approximately 0,43% of the total area is used for settlement purposes (i.e. towns and villages).

Approximately 69% of all the settlements (i.e. towns and villages) in the Waterberg District Municipality area are located within Mogalakwena Local Municipality. Approximately 68% of all the larger settlements with 5 000 people and more are also located within this local municipality. The problem is, however, that both Mogalakwena and Lephalale Local Municipalities have a large number of small villages, being villages with less than 1 000 people. These low population densities have serious implications to improve the levels of service provision to communities. The cost associated with respect to the provision of service infrastructure is very high. This problem within the Waterberg District Municipality is further exacerbated by the fact that at least 50% of the population are located within Mogalakwena Local Municipality, meaning that the majority of the population are located in relative small settlements, which are scattered over a large area.

An overall appraisal of the Waterberg District indicates distinctive differences in the spatial patterns of development (i.e settlement patterns) between the six local municipalities.

In general, it is evident that the urban areas (Mokopane, Mookgophong, Modimolle, Lephalale, Thabazimbi and Bela Bela) dominate the district urban settlement pattern. Apart from this dominant urban centres, the district is characterised by a number of smaller towns (some of which function as sub-regional service centres), so-called communal land areas where dispersed rural settlements are the dominant pattern, and areas where extensive commercial agricultural land holdings are the norm.

However, within the generalised spatial landscape of these areas one finds diverse and complex urban and rural situations. As noted above, the Waterberg District has a distinctive settlement pattern that encompasses a range of settlement types from major urban centre to smaller regional and sub-regional service centres; and from dispersed rural settlements to isolated homesteads.

The settlement hierarchy developed for the Limpopo (currently under review) in the Limpopo Provincial Spatial Rationale assists in the categorisation of the hierarchy of towns and settlements prevailing in the Waterberg district. The Provincial Spatial Rationale

motivates the categorisation of settlement in the province. Within this framework, five levels of settlement are identified in the Provincial Spatial Rationale, which correlate broadly to a strategic framework for investment in settlement.

With regard to the above strategic framework for investment in levels of settlement, a number of key implications for the management of settlement development are derived. A settlement hierarchy is usually based on the classification of individual settlements[2] (e.g. towns and villages). This would mean that the approximately 2 450 towns and villages in the Limpopo Province would have been individually classified in terms of a proposed hierarchy. Polokwane (Pietersburg) would have been the highest order settlement with second order settlements such as Mokopane (Potgietersrus), Thohoyandou, Tzaneen, Makhado (Louis Trichardt), etc. Third order settlements would have included places such as Giyani, Lebowakgomo, possibly Jane Furse, etc.

The settlement hierarchy as contained in the Limpopo Province Spatial Rationale (Review) 2002 is as follows:

First Order Settlements (Growth Points) [GP]

Growth points are further divided into three categories, viz.:

Provincial Growth Point [PGP];

District Growth Point [DGP]; and

Municipal Growth Point [MGP].

Second Order Settlements (Population Concentration Points) [PCP].

Third Order Settlements (Local Service Points) [LSP].

Fourth Order Settlements (Village Service Areas) [VSA].

Fifth Order Settlements (Remaining Small Settlements) [SS].

Settlement clusters therefore indicate priority development areas/nodes in which primarily first order settlements (three types of growth points) and second order settlements (population concentration points) are identified. Growth points are therefore the highest order in the settlement hierarchy, with Population Concentration Points being the second order in the settlement hierarchy.

• There are six towns within the Waterberg District that are seen from a provincial perspective to be higher order urban areas where the highest levels of investment (First Order Settlements) could be targeted to achieve key development goals. These are identified as Mokopane

(Provincial Growth Point), Mookgophong (Provincial Growth Point), Modimolle (Provincial Growth Point) Bela-Bela (Provincial Growth Point), Thabazimbi (Provincial Growth Point) and Lephalale (Provincial Growth Point);

• In addition, six townships or smaller towns in the district are identified in the Provincial Spatial Rationale for so-called Municipal Growth Points; that is investment to boost capacities of existing infrastructure or to extend institutional capacity for developmental purposes. These are identified as Pienaarsrivier, Vaalwater, Rebone, Bakenberg, Roedtan and Northam;

• In the strategic terms adopted by the Provincial Spatial Rationale, the remaining settlements within the Waterberg District should be seen as areas that, in the first instance, should be regarded as settlements that need to achieve basic levels of services.

However, it is noted that the Limpopo Provincial Spatial Rationale should not be read as a deterministic document and merely aims to set normative guidelines for spatial development and related investments. It seems reasonable to assume that where individual instances (or settlements) are identified that have clear growth potential, these could be classified as Municipal Growth Points areas where investment could be targeted at higher levels than basic service in order to achieve desirable developmental outcomes.

6.2.2 LAND AND HOUSING & LAND REFORM

6.2.2.1 Land Reform

Waterberg District Municipality must develop a “Land Reform and Settlement Plan” (LRSP) as a sector plan in its Integrated Development Plan, which must be prepared with specific reference to the key land issues relating to land reform and settlement development in the District. Land reform issues within Waterberg District Municipal area encompass a complex array of challenges located within the sphere of land access, land tenure, land restitution (Land claims) and land administration. The Land Reform Programme for Waterberg District Municipality, especially the LRSP, is key to unlocking such challenges. These will differ from one local municipal area to another.

Therefore the key challenge for the district in the land reform process is to deal effectively with the injustices of land dispossession, equitable distribution of ownership, reduction of poverty and economic growth, tenure security as well as a system of land management which will support sustainable land use patterns. This is in line with the National Policy on Land Reform, 1997. These will be dealt with in terms of the required land related legislation. It is clear that land reform is seen as a composite suite of issues and interlocking components, the precise make up of which will differ from one municipality to another. Some of these components include, land identification, land acquisition, in-site upgrade and tenure upgrade, land planning for residential and productive uses, land-legal issues (e.g. land rights audits, title adjustments, land survey, registration of ownership etc.) post implementation livelihoods support, post implementation land use management, and infrastructure / asset maintenance and operational issues.

New developments involving four pieces of legislation will assist in the development of LRSP, which impact on issues of tenure reform, land administration and the capacity of various spheres of government to carry out planning and management, and implementation of land reform

All of the laws interlink either directly or indirectly to the Municipal Structures Act and are noted as follows:

• The promulgation of the Communal Land Rights Act 11 of 2004 (ClaRA). The Act is cross-linked to the Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Amendment Act, 41 of 2003 (TLGF).

• The successful lodgement of restitution claims to land rights lost as a result of betterment in terms of Restitution Act, 22 of 1994,

• The Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, 2005,

6.2.2.2. Land and Housing

The objectives of this sector are to ensure accessibility to land through the Land Reform Programme, as per the National Land Policy, provision of adequate and sustainable housing in line with the provision of both the national and provincial policy and legislative prescripts, as well as ensuring organised method of settlement planning and surveys through acceptable development planning and survey legislative prescripts.

6.2.2.3. Land Tenure

In South Africa the primary real right in land is that of outright ownership for which a Full Title Deed is registered. It is very similar to the English concept of "freehold title" whereby the land and the buildings on the land constitute one property. Most land in South Africa including farms, small holdings, residential township erven, commercial properties, etc. are privately held by outright ownership and therefore registered in Full Title. The piece of land is surveyed by a land surveyor and its borders will be physically pegged or beaconed. The property’s placement, size and borders are recorded in a Surveyor General diagram that forms part of the registered Title Deed of the property. An owner will have exclusive use of the entire piece of land, but the use of the land (business, residential, etc.) and the density or number of buildings (even on farms and small holdings) are governed by the applicable land use rights. An owner may furthermore sub-divide or consolidate his land, subject to the relevant town planning scheme, legislation and/or Article 21 Company rules (in the case of a private development). 

Land tenure reform is being addressed through a review of present land policy, administration and legislation to improve the tenure security of all South Africans and to accommodate diverse forms of land tenure, including communal tenure.

Residents of the former so-called townships such as Phagameng, Bela-bela, Regorogile, Mookgophong, Thusang and Marapong obtained full property ownership rights over the past approximately 9 years through the Extended Benefit Scheme implemented by government since 1994.

Land tenure in the rural areas of Mogalakwena and Lephalale, however, still need to be addressed. Land is held in trust for tribal authorities with communal ownership as the most likely option. Tenure rights in townships such as Mahwelereng (so-called R293 towns) must also be addressed to ensure upgrading of the existing rights.

Land restitution (land claims) and land redistribution of which the potential impact is yet unknown could alter the spatial pattern and land needed for various macro land-uses (e.g. settlement development, agricultural development, mining, conservation areas, etc.) enormously. On the other side many people would obtain access to land that could result in improved living standards and quality of life. It could unfortunately also result in large-scale sterilisation of economically productive land (e.g. high potential agricultural land, mining of certain minerals, nature conservation areas, etc.) if not managed and planned properly within the context of a spatial development framework that considers all these factors.

6.3 LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

6.3.1 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The magnificence of the Waterberg District Municipality is self-expressed in its cultural diversity, history and natural environment, and is endowed with a range of habitats, tourist attractions and wildlife. Its economic profile is characterised by its six local municipalities and it revolves around agriculture, commerce, manufacturing, mining and quarries, residential development, smallholdings, water-bodies, etc. Despite high levels of unemployment, Waterberg District Municipality is among the highest contributors to the provincial economy and has a relatively good infrastructure.

However, many people and households in Waterberg District Municipality earn a living from the informal sector, spaza shops, hawking, and street vending. Many households would plan their informal merchandising opportunities around specific events such as old-age pension pay days, holiday seasons, Christmas and new period as travellers and tourist abound in the region. Economic indicators state that the Waterberg District Municipality has the largest economy compared to other District Municipalities in Limpopo.

The Waterberg District Municipality has the largest district economy of all five district municipalities in the Limpopo Province. It contributes 26, 79% of the total production in the Limpopo Province in terms of GGP.

❖ The mining sector is by far the largest contributor to the district Gross Geographic Product (GGP) with 49.03% of the total production of the Limpopo Province being from the Waterberg District Municipality area;

❖ The second highest contributor is Finance sector with Waterberg District Municipality contributing 11.44% of the total provincial production; and

❖ Agriculture and forestry with 3.17% of the total GGP of the Limpopo Province.

❖ Construction is the lowest contributor to the district GGP with 1.25% while manufacturing contributes 3.72%.

The Waterberg District Municipality’s area of jurisdiction has a rich history and heritage that consist of various layers – pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial. The available heritage resources in the district have socio-cultural, spiritual and non-spiritual, historical and political value and meaning that have intangible significance for different people at various levels.

There is uncoordinated socio-economic and cultural development in the district. As such, a holistic approach, including systematic cultural mapping, heritage impact assessment and environmental impact assessment should be central in any development that takes place. This includes social development, urban planning and renewal, rezoning, open space development, mining, road construction, commercial and residential development and economic development. This approach will enable balanced development that takes into account a range of economic, social, cultural, historical and environmental aspects. Because of uncoordinated development, and non-adherence to heritage management and existing legal instruments there are a number of areas in the district where human remains have been unearthed through development. Sustainable development that takes in cognizance the abovementioned issues should be of paramount importance in the district.

Heritage forms part of socio-economic and cultural development. It contributes significantly to the GDP through tourism, particularly cultural tourism. The development, marketing and packaging of heritage tourism routes will accelerate the contribution of tourism (heritage tourism) in the district. Heritage, marketed through the medium of the film industry has a potential to contribute to the GDP and local economic development of the district. Promotion of the district as a film destination will enhance the socio-economic benefits.

Aagriculture (31.93%), mining (48.32%) and electricity (36.04%) play a major role in the economy (i.t.o. GGD), providing 26.93%, 16.17% and 0.75% respectively of formal employment.

Unemployment has grown within Waterberg. Although the lowest levels of unemployment are recorded in Mookgophong, the 2001 unemployment estimates suggests that 31% of the economically active population is unemployed. The unemployment levels in Mogalakwena, Thabazimbi, Bela Bela and Modimolle are most desperate although Lephalale reflects 2.5%.

Contextualizing and applying the NSDP in assessing the economy of WDM

6.3.2. Economic Potential

Economic growth is most prevalent in the Lephalale, Mogalakwena and Bela- Bela areas with significant potential for expansion in the mining, agricultural and tourism sectors. The District’s proximity to Gauteng also ensures easy access and linkages to expertise, industries, markets and international opportunities. This contributes to both the comparative and competitive advantages of the Province.

6.3.2.1 Spatial Location of Needs and Potential

The District has a relatively high poverty rate, with poverty concentrated in the Lephalale, Mogalakwena and Thabazimbi municipal areas. This situation is supported by the available data that indicate that the Lephalale and Mogalakwena have poverty rates of 60.6% respectively, with Thabazimbi recording a poverty rate of 52%. This is followed by Modimolle at 48% and Mookgophong at 42.2%.

High poverty rates are compounded by the unique challenges of service delivery in the area. Service delivery needs within the District are diverse and mainly linked to historical spatial distributions, limited service provision and market accessibility. While the District has significant market expansion opportunities in the agriculture, mining and tourism sectors, the absorption capacity of its economy appears to be hampered by a number of barriers to entry and other structural characteristics, which reduces its ability to alleviate unemployment in the area.

Faced with the challenge to address the relative high levels of poverty, the District has taken the approach to leverage its natural and mineral resources to unlock the economic potential in the area. Significant economic opportunities in the mining, agricultural and tourism sectors exist throughout its jurisdiction and therefore targeted strategies to ensure direct and indirect spin-offs for local communities is seen as a key component of the development trajectory for the district.

6.3.2.2 KEY SECTOR SPECIFIC ISSUES

Mining, Agriculture and Tourism are seen as key pillars of development in the Waterberg.

6.3.2.2 (a) Mining

The extensive and rich mineral resources are located in the North-Eastern and Western parts of the District. At present mining is the largest and predominant contributor to the GDP of the Province at 57.5% with a recorded annual growth rate of 13.9%. Extensive current and planned mining activities are mainly located in the Lephalale area which has the third biggest coal reserves in country, providing the District with a distinct competitive advantage which could strategically position the area as a continental powerhouse of coal fueled electricity production. The coal fields at Lephalale also currently fuels a number of Eskom’s power stations.

Other mining activities include iron ore mining in the Thabazimbi area, and extensive platinum reserves in the Mokopane and Northham areas, which has been ear-marked for future exploration.

The success of mining development hinges on a number of key factors:

▪ effective transport network;

▪ water supply;

▪ service management;

▪ electricity provision; and

▪ skilled labour supply.

Besides the mineral extraction process, the emergence of new mining communities impacts significantly on housing development, retail and service supply demands. Some concerns have been raised about processes and procedures involved in prospecting in local areas as well as reallocation of communities due to mining rights and activities. Intergovernmental and inter-sectoral planning across private and public sectors to ensure that appropriate planning therefore should precede unlocking potential and conflict mitigation can take place.

6.3.2.2 (b) Agriculture

As a key contributor to the Provincial GGP at 28.8%, agricultural and forestry development in Waterberg is seen as another key catalyst for significant economic development. Being predominantly rural, most of the District is suited for livestock production but also with some major cropping taking place in cotton, sunflower, tobacco, and soya bean production. The District is supporting agricultural growth by developing a policy for the subdivision of agricultural land in collaboration with the land claims commission and is negotiating the acquisition of state land for agricultural production.

In the two priority areas of Lephalale and Mogalakwene, where both a high levels of need and potential are evident, the following areas of potential were identified:

Lephalale

Lephalale is seen as an area with high agricultural potential. Accordingly a number of labour intensive development initiatives, have been identified as having the potential of for ensuring wide-spread economic spin-offs for local communities. However, expediting land claims and land restitution processes as well as ensuring access to water for agriculture development is seen as a top priority to unlock the agricultural potential in the area. In partnership with province, LRAD and community, some noteworthy projects include:

▪ debushing (Shongwane);

▪ commercialisation in DNayala;

▪ marula in Maraphong;

▪ commonage initiative in Refilwe; and

▪ seed nursery in Madibaneng.

Furthermore, the area boasts substantial production capacity for table grapes. The grapes produced in the area have a two-week lead-time over other grape production areas in South Africa and globally, providing it with a substantial competitive and comparative advantage. The cultivating of table grapes has already yielded significant profits for local commercial farmers over the past year. The intention is to capitalize on the District’s proximity to Botswana which is regarded as a substantial market opportunity. The challenge however is how to expand these activities to include emerging small scale farmers.

Mogalakwena

Unlike Lephalale, Mogalakwena has a smaller agricultural sector. Its potential centers mainly on the production of crops and meat for regional consumption. Extensive growth in the mining sector is seen as an ideal outlet for local production and together with the District, local entrepreneurs, experts and affected community champions are exploring ways of targeting specific buyers in the area. The District has done significant assessments on expanding the existing abattoir to meet local and regional demand for white meat as well as extending chicken farming initiatives. Successful management and execution in this could yield positive results for local employment and production. Other similar initiatives include:

▪ the Mokamole Agricultural farm;

▪ extension of beneficiation initiatives and primary food production along river courses;

▪ potential white meat cluster;

▪ citrus farming opportunity; and

▪ Doring-draai fishing initiatives.

6.3.2.2 ( c) Tourism

The District’s rich biosphere which is home to the Makapan’s Valley World Heritage Site, Nature reserves and which boasts an abundance of fauna and flora, hot-springs and more than 400 bird species is seen as a key catalyst for development in the tourism sector. This cuts across the Bela Bela, Modimolle and Lephalale areas. The District notes that its tourism competitive edge is its proximity to Gauteng, its rich biosphere, malaria free areas and its hunting capital status.

The Bela Bela and Thabazimbi area already boasts an extensive and well known tourism network with key attractions being hunting, game parks, bird and wild life.

Funding permitting, priority projects include;

• A conference centre facility at the World Heritage Site

• Entabeni initiative with the Doordraai project. This project, which will be home to the Big Five, a golf estate and other, is owned by government and is in the process of being developed. License permitting, water will be taken from the Flag- Boshielo dam.

Waterberg District’s location to Gauteng Province has made it a key-visiting site for visitors to the 2010 World Cup. Extensive work is already underway to ensure that all businesses are equipped to take advantage of this opportunity. Some ideas touted at this stage include:

▪ the establishment of fan parks for viewing 2010 matches;

▪ grading of accommodation;

▪ provision of packages for visitors to area; and

▪ entertainment and local based activities.

Success of this initiative is dependant on:

▪ a sound and realistic 2010 strategy for the District;

▪ appropriately graded accommodation;

▪ reliable and stable water supply;

▪ effective transport system;

▪ effective communication system;

▪ steady supply of big screens for viewing;

▪ effective electricity supply;

▪ effective signage; and

▪ establishment of a world class airport.

This would require that the District develops a world class, effective and efficient logistics team to lead its strategy and give manage related interventions.

6.3.3. IDENTIFYING NEEDS IN AN AREA

Whilst significant economic opportunities exist in the focus areas, the following key development challenges have been identified, which hamper and affect the pace at which the District will advance:

• Water supply to residents in remote areas is a huge problem;

• Water supply for economic development is inadequate;

• Sanitation facilities and the extent of current backlogs does not meet growing demand and current resources are insufficient to meet this challenge;

• Settlement planning and development that links outer-lying remote villages with service sites is not in place;

• Roads and Transport linkages for both economic and commuter usage is inadequate and not suited to meet the needs of economic expansion opportunities in the area;

• Skills, Literacy levels and readiness of local population to take advantage of economic opportunities is inadequate;

• High demand for services especially in the outer Lephalale areas and most of Mogalawena is not met because of the current capacity challenges within the municipality. This in turn results in lower rates of service provision;

• Land release and development for agricultural purposes are not matched with appropriate strategies to capitalize on these opportunities;

• Economic benefits from mining, agriculture, tourism are in the hands of a limited few and does not necessarily alleviate poverty

• Extensive private ownership of land, especially foreign owned land in Lephalale areas and the challenge of connecting communities and development initiatives with water source points sometimes located on this land, poses a challenge;

• Implications of village relocation as a result of mining activity on local people who will be reallocated and municipalities who have to provide services are not readily negotiated. Decision needed on how what where, who involved in this process.

• Communication across spheres of government especially with regard planned activity is inadequate. Current pattern of no due regard for governance role of local municipalities leads to unnecessary conflict and resource wastage.

6.3.4 UNLOCKING POTENTIAL AND MEETING REQUIRED NEEDS OF KEY DEVELOPMENT AREAS IN DISTRICT

It was agreed that the most pertinent challenge in the Waterberg District area was the provision and availability of water. Water was a crucial catalyst for unlocking economic potential in the agriculture, tourism and mining sectors and lack of water sources and supply had damaging consequences on growth and development in the area. While significant investment by all spheres of government was already ploughed into water initiatives across the District, experts argue that current rates of planning around supply and provision was highly inadequate and shifts were needed to ensure more sustainable planning over the medium to long term.

Furthermore, analysis of the spatial economy also reflected very high clusters of poor in Waterberg. This meant that there was a serious disjuncture between where people were located and where economic activity was taking place. This was exacerbated by the high demand for specialized skills in key sectors and the low skills base prevalent in poorer communities. Additionally, while the District’s proximity to Botswana was its comparative advantage, the potential economic spin-offs were hampered by severe infrastructure challenges in the connecting localities.

The following have been identified as the key critical blockages to realizing economic potential in the Mogalakwena and Lephaphale areas in the District:

6.3.4.1 Water

The shortage of water supply for human consumption and economic production is inadequate. Linked to this is the appropriate management of water supply and the technical competency to address water source, water management and water planning requirements.

6.3.4.2 Roads and transport

The extension, maintenance and management of the R33 and the N11, is critical. In this regard, these roads are crucial for linking resource extraction, production and commuters with key economic centers. In addition the upgrading and reorientation of railway stock to improve connectivity with economic centers and service points was also seen as critical. Investment in roads infrastructure in the localities connecting Botswana and South Africa was also seen as a critical blockage requiring urgent attention.

6.3.4.3 Agriculture

There is a substantial need for land released for agricultural purposes and the development, to poor communities within the relevant area. In conjunction with the release of the relevant land, local capacity should be enhanced to ensure the sustainable utilization of these resources.

6.3.4.4 Communication

The execution of an effective communication strategy across government is required to give effect to key development decisions taken across all spheres of government. Of specific importance, is the issue of communication that relates to the negotiations between mining houses, and the Department of Minerals and Energy, and the Limpopo Investment Agency. The downstream implications from both a policy and implementation process should be articulated and communicated appropriately.

6.3.4.5 Settlements

The rural nature of the district and the historical legacies of settlement distribution make service planning and provision a substantial challenge. This is

especially true in the case of the Mogalakwena and Lephalale areas. However the plight of the community in the biosphere area in Modimolle was also

highlighted, since lack of service provision especially sanitation services, could seriously jeopardize environmental and tourism development down the

line.

6.3.5 INTERGOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS

The following table high-lights the key intergovernmental challenges needed to unlock economic and development potential in the District. It should be noted that in the event that actors are unable to resolve challenges, where appropriate, the presidency could be called upon to intervene as part of the current pilot process.

ANALYSIS

WATER SERVICES OVERVIEW

6.4. WATER SERVICES

The Waterberg District Municipality is not Water Service Authority. The Water Service Authority (WSA) function is the responsibility of the local municipalities of Mogalakwena, Bela Bela, Thabazimbi, Lephalale, Mookgophong and Modimolle. The Waterberg District Municipality WSA population (sum of WSA Population of local municipalities) has been estimated to be 614041 people, based on data from Statistics South Africa.

6.4.1. Level of services

The 2005/2006 WSDP study highlights that as of March 2005, the following percentages of people had access to RDP water services:

• Water - RDP standard or above 42% (25 litres per person per day within 200m walking distance)

• Sanitation - RDP standard or above: 23% (waterborne sewerage or VIP toilet)

As of April 2006, the Waterberg District Municipality had improved water services to the extent of:

• Water - RDP standard or above 90% (25 litres per person per day within 200m walking distance)

• Sanitation - RDP standard or above 49% (waterborne sewerage or VIP toilet)

|Estimated cost to eradicate = 385 594 500 |

Source: DWAF, 2006

Providing a higher level of service to the resident within Waterberg District Municipality is a challenge especially within peri-urban areas due to the backlogs still to be eradicated and the increase in the water demand these higher level of services will result in. Residents want to move from access to communal stand tap water supply to individual erf connection and from a VIP to water borne sewage system. The same challenge applies where communities want to extend the water supply infrastructure into their area by connecting into nearby reticulation.

6.4.2. Raw Water Situation

The urban areas of the Waterberg District Municipality Water Service Authority (of six local municipalities) function are generally in need of upgrading in terms of capacity of bulk infrastructure and access to raw water supply. This need is growing rapidly as the continued process of urbanization continues and pressure is placed on local municipalities to provide housing and basic services.

6.4.3. DROUGHT RELIEF

6.4.3.1 TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION

6.4.3.1.1 Motivation

The motivation for each selected piece of work required was tested against the above drought relief principles. The fact that this funding was provided is sufficient proof that the money is required in the area. We need to ensure that it is spent for the purpose of alleviating domestic water supply problems induced by drought.

(a) Lephalale Municipal Area

Rainfall in Lephalale area has been erratic over the past years. Except for a period of above average rainfall over January – March 2003, the rainfall has been far below average. During the previous drought relief programme Lephalale’s efforts was for developing additional water sources concentrating on villages where supply was insufficient and risk of failure high, but also ensuring that at least one additional source was developed for all villages dependant on a single source. An indication of the rate of success is the fact that more than 50% of holes were successful, in an area notorious for the low strike rate.

In the Shongoane area the almost total absence of ground water makes it difficult to implement a conjunctive water use policy as is used in other villages near the river.

The biggest problem at this stage, after a rainfall season with less than 60% of expected rainfall, are the villages in Shongoane which are depending mainly on water from the Lephalala river, namely Setateng. This is the largest village in Lephalale and obtains all its water from the Lephalala river. Flow in this river dried up in early June 2005, compared to typical patterns of surface flow continuing until September/October. It is evident that the water available will not be sufficient to last until the river starts flowing again, even though pump rates have already been reduced, except if it rains during winter which is highly improbable.

It is proposed that additional river well points be developed, equipped and linked to existing supply systems in both Setateng and Matladi, which depends on water from the river for 80% of its supply. This will result in use and access to water sources other than those presently utilised. For Mothlasedi and Ga Monyeki the same option is proposed. At the same time it is proposed that water supplies be developed for

Phahladira. This village which lies adjacent to Matladi but inside the Mogalakwena municipal area and has no water supply at all presently - people are using water directly from the river when available, or buy or take water from nearby villages at great cost and hardship.

For a longer term and more permanent solution, it is proposed that a weir be constructed which will increase the water storage capacity and availability, and reduce the risks of water in the river bed being totally depleted. The construction on the weir need to be preceded by a thorough feasibility study, technical report and EIA, and is regarded as a request for future funding. Allowing an amount of R 220 000 for the investigation and reports under the present funding would however be sufficient to kickstart this initiative.

(b) Mogalakwena Municipal Area

The Mogalakwena rural communities are situated north of Mokopane. This falls in the summer rainfall area and has a low annual average rainfall. The recent below average rainfall did create water supply problems and especially to the communities obtaining water from boreholes or well fields alongside the Mogalakwena River.

Many of the sand point abstraction pits in the Mogalakwena area are now not a reliable source and an alternative means of abstracting this sand/alluvium encased water should be embarked upon. This drought relief project would therefore concentrate on constructing new abstraction boreholes just adjacent to the Mogalakwena River to alleviate this problem.

Stolen or broken pumps would also listed as part of this project. Instead of securing (drilling) additional boreholes, more people can be helped by replacing and repairing these pumps.

The carting of water in the Mogalakwena area is daily occurrence. DWAF has supplied two water tankers as far back as 1988. The one tanker is stationed at Mokopane and supplies water to the Mapela, Bakenberg and Mokopane areas. The other tanker is stationed at Salem Satellite office and supplies water to Nkidikitlana and Salem Desert area. Currently DWAF provides the drivers and the running costs for the vehicles.

These two vehicles are breaking down more regularly now and really need to be replaced. DWAF officials have confirmed that these vehicles operate everyday as well as on week-ends.

(c) Mookgophong Municipal Area

Mookgophong town obtains about 0.75 million m³/year from the Nyl Wellfield and about 0.42 million m³/year from the dam nearby. Ultimately additional bulk water would be obtained from the Magalies Water Board pipeline which presently stops at Modimolle. This augmentation is still far from a reality. The yield from the 10 equipped boreholes in the Wellfield has started to diminish due to the dry period production on the boreholes had to be cut back.

There are unequipped boreholes available for expansion of this wellfield. The proposal is to equip two boreholes and construct the necessary pipeline (about 2km) to the collection tank from where it is pumped to Mookgophong Town. An interim solution to pump into the adjacent borehole pipeline to the collection tank can be considered if there are not sufficient funds to do all the work at once. These boreholes typically yield up to 10ℓ/s each.

d) Thabazimbi Municipal Area

The Rooiberg housing area has an acute problem. The current 260 houses and newly completed 264 RDP housing units development have no water supply at present. The yield in the eight (8) available boreholes have diminished to such an extent that the Thabazimbi Municipality is carting water every day from Leeupoort. The past two weeks has resulted in the 6000kℓ truck making 3 deliveries per day to the stricken area.

The following two boreholes are available to equip and can give immediate relief:

• 1 x Borehole on private land but of which approval has been obtained. The borehole is already equipped and can deliver 5.5 ℓ/s. A pipeline of 520m is needed for this.

• 1 x Borehole about 500m from the reservoir can be equipped to yield 2.8ℓ/s. The requirement is for the borehole pump and pipeline to be constructed. Thabazimbi Municipality would install the electrical cable (500m) and transformer if the project can supply it.

(e) Belabela Municipal Area

Belabela Town obtains water from their own boreholes as well as augmentation of surface water via the Magalies Water Board pipe line. The dry period has influenced the water table and the groundwater availability. The request from Belabela Municipality was to reinstate a borehole which was lost due to a blockage. Instead of searching for suitable drilling positions, a new borehole can be drilled just next to the blocked borehole in Roodepoort street in Belabela town.

(f) Modimolle Municipal Area

The water supply to two remote settlements has been affected very seriously. They are:

• Mabatlane (previous name Vaalwater)

• Mabaleng (previous name Alma)

At Mabatlane the existing eight equipped boreholes are not sufficient to supply water to the area. Further augmentation is only possible by means of further groundwater exploration. The Mabaleng water also requires further boreholes.

The need to do a proper geohydrological study to the above areas is critical. The groundwater has not been quantified properly yet and an exploration study is suggested to identify or target the major water bearing structures in the vicinity. This information would help in the strategic planning of bulk water to these areas.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY OVERVIEW

6.5. ELECTRICITY PROVISION OVERVIEW

The provision of sufficient electricity supplies is vital for the general development and prosperity of the Waterberg region. The Waterberg District Municipality does not generate or distribute any electricity itself but has an interest to ensure that the provision of electricity is closely aligned to the developmental needs of the area as a whole. Waterberg District Municipality therefore sees its role as facilitating proper interaction of all roleplayers in the Integrated Development Planning Process [IDP] and the providers of bulk and reticulation services, like Eskom in the electrification field. The fact that the majority of rural households still live in a dispersed settlement format makes the provision of electricity more difficult for service providers such as Eskom. The Waterberg Electricity Development Plan should be developed to depict the extent of electrification development in the district. 2006/07 IDP Review depicts that rural electricity backlogs in Waterberg as at end 2005 stands at 9 070 households.

ROADS INFRASTRUCTURE OVERVIEW

6.6 ROADS MANAGEMENT

The Waterberg District Municipality has an interest to serve all the people residing in its area of jurisdiction. To this end, a well established road network and the proper maintenance thereof, is absolutely vital to the economy of the region as a whole and to ensure accessibility to all and proper linkages between urban and rural environments. The Waterberg District Municipality would therefore endeavour to promote good co-operation between national, provincial and local road authorities at all times.

The road network is the “heart” of the transport network in the Waterberg District Municipality, considering the long distances between production locations and markets. Transport and development go hand-in-hand, especially where public transport is concerned.

Roads are classed according to the function they have to perform. The main differences between the various classes of roads relate to the extent to which they cater for traffic movement or for access. Freeways and toll roads are the responsibility of the National Roads Agency, while arterial, collector and local roads are the responsibility of the Limpopo Roads Agency. The municipalities are responsible for the road networks within their respective municipal boundaries. This section describes the road hierarchy in the Waterberg District Municipality, in terms of National Roads, Provincial Roads, and District Roads, and their significance with respect to access and mobility for Public Transport, Freight, and Tourism. Traditionally roads projects were prioritised according to traffic volumes and pavement conditions. The new criteria for prioritisation of road projects include traffic volumes, pavement conditions, public transport, passenger volumes, tourism, and freight.

6.6.1 National Roads

The National Roads Agency is the custodian for the National Road Network. Currently the N11 is the only National Road declared in the jurisdiction of the Waterberg District Municipality. However, several roads are to be handed over from the Road Agency Limpopo to the National Roads Agency (NRA).

6.6.2 Provincial Roads

The Provincial road network is currently the responsibility of the Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) and the Department of Roads and Transport. The RAL utilise the Road Management System (RMS) as a tool for assisting with road network management. There are several Provincial Roads in the WDM. According to the PLTF, the current RAL strategies are identified according to the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS). The PGDS of the Limpopo Province is primarily focussed on the development needs and in particular the development corridors and economic development centres that have been identified and that are of economic importance to the province.

The assessment of roads, traffic counts and inspections of bridges are conducted and fed into the system. The RMS then reflects the road network conditions and predicts deterioration patterns. The system assists in prioritising road maintenance and rehabilitation projects.

In addition to the above roads, the local access roads are gravel and predominantly utilised by buses and taxis. The condition of these roads is below standard. They require upgrading and improved storm water management.

The RAL has completed process of demarcating roads for the WDM. There is a map with the demarcated routes, but the route description is not yet complete, and the formal transfer of authority is enacted. As a result, there is no Roads Master Plan for the WDM yet. It must be borne in mind that all of these roads were previously maintained by the Province and not by Waterberg District Municipality.

6.6.3 Proclaimed Waterberg District Roads

The Roads Agency Limpopo is the custodian of all Provincial Roads in the Limpopo Province. The Department of Roads and Transport also carries out maintenance. The Local Municipality identifies road maintenance and upgrade projects at random in consultation with the communities and Ward Councillors.

6.18. IMPLICATIONS OF THE SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

The demographics show a noticeable uneven development within the District. On the one hand there is a noticeably rural-urban divide coupled with high levels of poverty in rural areas. The causes of rural poverty are very complex and are a mixture of various forces. Basic to poverty in the Waterberg district is access to basic services; health services, employment, and land. The Waterberg District Municipal Vision elements relating to addressing imbalance of the past and service provision needs to be translated into substantial development strategies in order to address these challenges.

The situational analysis of the Waterberg District Municipal Area implies that there is an urgent need to address the following issues:

• Unemployment

• Poverty Alleviation

• Services backlog including Free Basic Services

• HIV/AIDS

• Health Care

• Local Economic Development

• Infrastructure development and maintenance

• Land Acquisition

• Environmental Conservation

• Spatial Development, Land Use Management and Land Development

• Rural Development

• Community Development

• Skills Development

• Institutional Development

7.2 National Spatial Development Perspective

A framework for contextualizing and applying the NSDP

7.2.1 Introduction

At the turn of the first decade of democracy, government undertook a body of work intended to provide an analysis of the advances and challenges of the first decade of democracy. The analytical insights of the TYR and 2014 scenarios provoked an incisive appraisal of ideas and thoughts about the development trajectory going forward into the second decade of freedom.

A major observation made by the TYR is that:

The advances made in the First Decade by far supersede the weaknesses. Yet, if all indicators were to continue along the same trajectory, especially in respect of the dynamic of economic inclusion and exclusion, we could soon reach a point where the negatives start to overwhelm the positives.

The TYR goes on to warn that this “could precipitate a vicious cycle of decline in all spheres”.

Based on an appreciation of the progress made and mindful of the fact that critical challenges remain as a result of the terrible legacy of apartheid, government set itself the objectives of growing the economy, tackling the high levels of poverty, reducing the stubbornly high levels of unemployment and promoting social inclusion.

7.2.2 Meeting the challenge

One of the key measures identified by government to enable the developmental state to actively intervene in and inform and shape the trajectory for the Second Decade of Freedom IS BETTER PERFORMANCE OF THE STATE.

Better performance by the state entails 3 things:

• Make government as a whole work better in meeting common objectives and outcomes;

• Need for decisive, coordinated interventions to improve the state's capacity to spend and deliver services

• Need to specifically include a geographical dimension to growth and employment

The framework addresses all of these by focusing on the key question of how does government go about achieving its objectives of accelerating growth and addressing poverty and inequality. Development occurs in geographic space. Hence our ability as a country to accelerate growth and reduce unemployment and poverty is principally tied to the growth potential of different areas and regions. According to the NSDP, developing a coherent understanding of regional economic development and territorial patterns of economic development, social exclusion and resource use is of paramount importance in achieving our objectives. The NSDP argues that undertaking infrastructure investment and development spending decisions on the basis of an area’s unique potential is likely to produce far more desirable and sustainable outcomes in terms of addressing poverty and improving growth.

Four assumptions underpin the statement above:

▪ Dynamic qualities of areas are developed historically and culturally over a long period of time.

▪ In no country in the world is social and economic development and potential evenly distributed.

▪ Different regions have different economic potentials and the spatial variations in the incidence of poverty are also vastly different.

▪ Diverse and disparate spatial contexts suggests a policy approach which itself should be differentiated and conducive to the requirements of the different contexts.

Government has identified district and metropolitan areas as the pivotal sites on which to build an understanding of the nature and distribution of regional potential across the country. The district/metro levels are also understood to be the basic units to drive intergovernmental coordination to maximize the potential of regions. This is not to suggest that the notion of regional growth and development potential equates neatly with district/metro administrative boundaries. On the contrary, the growth and development of districts/metros areas is impacted upon by actors and factors both within and beyond their administrative borders. However sub-national structures such as districts/metro areas have a valuable role to play in capitalising on synergies and harnessing the energies and contributions of a range of actors and role players with a view to enhancing an areas social & economic potential.

7.2.3 Contextualising the NSDP

Contextualising and applying the NSDP has to be understood within the perspective that the overall performance of our economy hinges on the growth and development potential of regions. Theories and models abound explaining why some regions are more successful than others (Storper, 2004). While there are no universal rules, an emerging consensus is that the depth and quality of institutions[6] are a crucial common denominator in initiating and sustaining economic growth in regions and that poverty and inequality are more likely to be addressed if redistributive interventions are combined with strategies to maximise an areas unique economic potential.

This immediately raises the question of what we mean by a region. The concept of a region does not equate to districts/metros, and thus requires further elaboration. DTI’s RIDS provides some definitions based on the work of Michael Porter. Generally it is held that regions are not mere spatial entities but are seen as part of a wider set of economic connections and institutions (Ash Amin, 2006). According to Amin, there are two policy implications flowing from this conception. One, local effort has to work through these broader economic connections and institutional obligations and two there can be no simple division of responsibilities between national, provincial and local institutions.

This is the general understanding from which this document proceeds. While the focus in this document is on districts and metros, the conception of a region as comprising a wider set of economic connections and institutional obligations recognises that regions could be defined in a way that may embody a number of districts and metros such as in the case of the Gauteng Global City Region or a coherent region may exist within a district or metropolitan area. This brings into play a different division of responsibilities. In the case of the Gauteng City Region, the PGDS has an important role in functionally linking and integrating districts/metros to enhance the competitiveness and development impact of the wider global city region.

By the above conception a district or metro may be viewed as a coherent region or districts and metros may be the essential building blocks of a potentially wider regional entity. Whatever the conception, at the core of the regional focus in this document are districts and metros as the essential building blocks for a regional focus. Hence this framework is focused on configuring district/metro areas to assume strategic responsibility for building an understanding of the nature and extent of development poverty and inequality in spatial terms.

Moreover the framework is geared towards ensuring integrated development planning by municipalities serves as a tool to integrate and coordinate implementation in terms of geographical space and time and hence has to inform and be informed by the planning of other spheres of government, including sectoral/departmental planning of line agencies. In this regard this document provides a framework to give effect to government’s goal of developing credible IDPs and making district/metro IDPs the local expressions of the development plans of all spheres and agencies of government within an overall system of cooperative governance.

With this in mind, contextualising the NSDP implies district/metros developing a shared understanding of the social, growth and environment trends, processes and dynamics at play, providing strategic leadership and seeking to align the plans of all levels and departments of government, communities, labour & the private sector to maximize growth and development opportunities. This framework attempts to give effect to this broad mission.

The proposed framework is not intended to be a blue print or set of prescribed steps nor is it a technique. Rather it provides a broad context for district/metros to play a key part in effecting structural transformation and drive innovation, growth and development performance of their areas by maximising potential and seeking out new areas of potential or advantage. It is intended to provide a context for mobilising a district/metro development path based on just, equitable and ecologically sustainable foundations.

A key axiom of this framework is that district and metros promote a democratically and interactively pluralistic process that draws together state and non-state institutions and groups in particular the poor and marginalised. This entails engaging in decision-making processes that encourage “informational transparency, consultative and inclusive decision-making and strategy building on the basis of reflexive monitoring of goals”[7].

7.2.4 Framework for contextualising and applying the NSDP at district and metropolitan levels

As mentioned the framework is not meant to be a blue print. Rather it is meant to provide a context for districts/metros to take leadership and play a pivotal role in coordinating and aligning the actions of a wide spectrum of actors to bring about social and economic transformation.

The framework and its application will also differ from area to area, between district and metro and within districts or metros.

a. Developing a shared analysis

The objective is for various state and non-state stakeholders to better understand an areas growth and development potential with the aim of fostering greater growth and development. Understanding an area implies more than gathering data as is the case with most planning initiatives currently. Generating appropriate and relevant data is important, but of crucial importance is to develop, analyse and interpret socio-economic data with the necessary rigour and insight. This entails a comprehensive and incisive analysis of current and future trends with respect to poverty, inequality, economic development and ecological sustainability in spatial terms, the forces and factors driving these trends and the strategic implications thereof. Failure to understand issues of development and inequality in spatial terms means that policy and planning decisions will be made in an empirical and analytical vacuum. The district/metro has a pivotal role to play in getting various stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of the essential characteristics, trends and dynamics of the district/metro space economy.

Insightful and rigorous analysis supports proper planning and effective decision-making in a number of ways. These include:

▪ Identifying the determinants of poverty and social exclusion and how poverty, inequality and exclusion are reproduced;

▪ Identifying the special and long-term, hard to replicate unique characteristics that comprise the area’s competitive and comparative advantages.

▪ The presence of or potential for the emergence of distinct industrial districts or territorial complexes;

▪ The broader set of social relations binding firms and workers to each other as well as the actor-rationalities which operate within the region’s dominant institutions and their impact on the distribution of resources and opportunity and innovation.

▪ Use of renewable and non-renewable resources and the risks and opportunities this poses for the area’s growth and development trajectory.

b. Shared socio- economic vision or development trajectory

The shared analysis above is likely to generate varying challenges and competing demands. It provides the basis for interpreting the strategic direction, promoting policy coordination and fitting government actions into a spatial terms of reference. By spatial terms of reference we mean injecting spatial considerations into strategic policy making and planning within the public sector.

Districts and metros will need to develop necessary processes and practices to forge a shared vision and development trajectory among various stakeholders. By a shared vision and development trajectory we don’t mean arriving at a short, crisp and politically correct vision statement. What is implied here is a strategic dialogue with stakeholders within and outside of government which states that given our shared understanding of the features and characteristics of the district/metro space economy, what are the long-term social and economic outcomes we would strive to achieve and how should the NSDP principles be contextualised and applied to put the area on a firm development path?

It must be remembered that districts/metros are not neutral arbiters merely mediating the varied interests in society. Instead districts and metros should consciously and actively seek to ensure that the development trajectory is underscored by the fundamental values of socio-material citizenship underpinning our constitution. Our government is committed to the objectives of social and economic justice and democratic nation building. Metros and districts have to be vigilant in ensuring that the development trajectory reconciles and is underscored by our basic aspirations of accelerated and shared growth, poverty reduction, sustainable resource use, protection of biodiversity and social cohesion. In this regard the shared development trajectory or vision is more than a short and catchy statement, but a compelling story of the strategic outcomes to be achieved (as an example seen Jo’burg’s core vision elements for each of the 12 sector areas).

c. Priority interventions and Critical strategies

Translating the development trajectory into clear goals (long, medium and short-term), priority interventions for reaching the goals and backed by coherent objectives and strategies is an important part of good planning and strategy making. The shared analysis and development should inform the planning processes of spheres of government and all sectors in so far as these are in charge of implementing or financing projects at local levels. These interventions, objectives and strategies should find concrete expression in the IDPs which should spell out the 5 year plans for achieving the medium-term goals and objectives of the district/metro. The IDP should serve as a tool to integrate and coordinate implementation of the priority intergovernmental actions critical to achieving the developmental goals and objectives of the area.

d. Building the institutional base for multi-stakeholder co-operation and action

A central theme running through this framework is that achieving the long-term development outcomes in a district or metro depends on the mobilisation of collective action by a range of role players both inside and outside of government. A governance framework that enables the district/metro to draw together government and extra-government organisations into a participatory and integrated decision-making process is therefore important.

Such a governance framework must accomplish at least the following minimum requirements:

▪ It must enable the district/metro to identify with various agencies and spheres of government the critical or priority intergovernmental actions to achieve the development goals and outcomes;

▪ These intergovernmental priority actions must be integrated into the IDP of the district/metro so that the IDP becomes the local expression of the plans of all spheres of government;

▪ Drawing on the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act as a facilitative piece of legislation, appropriate intergovernmental forums will have to be established and protocols and or service level agreements hammered out to tie commitments into firm agreements;

▪ Proper mechanisms for monitoring and promoting accountability need to be developed;

▪ The IDPs incorporating the 5 year development goals and objectives should be cascaded up within government and provide government with a rigorous appreciation of the development potential of each district and metro which would feed into an iterative process of review, refinement and further elaboration of the NSDP.

7.2.5 Implementing the framework

As already stated, the framework for contextualising and applying the NSDP must be seen as an integral part of developing more credible IDPs. As such it is part of the IDP development process and not a new process or something extraneous to the IDP development process.

The framework will initially be implemented on a pilot basis in a select number of districts and metros and WDM pride to be part of the piloted district municipalities nationa wide.

7.2.6 FIVE PRINCIPLES OF THE NSDP

• Rapid economic growth that is sustained and inclusive is a pre-requisite for the achievement of other policy objectives, amongst which poverty alleviation is key;

• Government has a constitutional obligation to provide basic services to all citizens (e.g. water, energy health and educational facilities) wherever they reside;

• Beyond the constitutional obligation identified in Principle 2 above, Govt spending on fixed investment, should be focused on localities of economic growth and/or economic potential in order to:

← gear up private sector investment

← stimulate sustainable economic activities

← create long-term employment opportunities

• Efforts to address past and current social inequalities should focus on people not places:

← In localities with low development potential, Govt spending should focus on providing social transfers, human resource development and labour market intelligence which would enable people to become more mobile and migrate to localities that are more likely to provide sustainable employment or other economic opportunities.

← In localities where there are both high levels of poverty and development potential, this could include fixed capital investment beyond basic services to exploit the potential of those localities.

• In order to overcome the spatial distortions of Apartheid, future settlement and economic development opportunities should be channelled into activity corridors and nodes that are adjacent to or link the main growth centres

← Infrastructure investment should primarily support localities that will become major growth nodes in South Africa and the SADC region to create regional gateways to the global economy.

7.7 Waterberg District Municipality’s Strategic Goals

Strategic Goal 1: To provide a sound district regulatory framework

Strategic Goal 2: To promote management capacity in the District municipal area

Strategic Goal 3: To implement district municipal services

Strategic Goal 4: To ensure effective corporate services

All role-players in a municipality need a joint vision as a common ground, which provides guidance to the municipality and the residents. The Council’s decisions have to be oriented towards clearly defined and agreed objectives, which at the same time give orientation towards management, and which form the basis for performance management and the accountability of the municipal government towards the residents. The activities of the Council (Councillors and officials), as well as all stakeholders (Local Municipalities, Sector Departments, Private Sector, Non Governmental Organisations (NGO’s), etc) need to be guided and focused by strategies relating to and addressing the issues (problems, constraints, opportunities etc) as identified from the analysis. The strategies are formulated by all stakeholders and represent the joint decision-making by all stakeholders.

SECTION C

PROJECTS PHASE

The identification, selection. Approval and funding of the projects underwent stringent procedures and phases as outlined underneath:

8. Project Initiation phase

During this phase the following were put into consideration:

◆ The need for the project is established, its feasibility is investigated and initial estimates of cost generated

◆ The basic processes for the initiation phase are:

– Selecting the project.

– Identifying the needs to be met.

– Collecting historical data.

– Determining objectives.

– Determining high level deliverables and estimates.

– Developing a product description (particularly in the private sector).

– Identifying the qualifications of the project manager that would be best suited for the particular project.

– Determining high level resource requirements.

– Determining internal and external project constraints.

– Assessing the socio economic and political environment and its possible impact on the project.

– Conducting a feasibility study

8.1 Project identification and selection

◆ One project’s viability could determine the success or failure of an institution

◆ Project selection is about making a commitment for the future

◆ Organisations do not always have the resources to embark on all the projects it would want to, need to prioritise by addressing or asking the following questions:

– Will the project create a difference in the community.

– Will the project meet the needs of and make a positive contribution to the community’s welfare.

– Will the project maximise the utilisation of the workforce, plant, and equipment?

– Whether the project would improve the municipality’s service delivery rating and boast the community’s confidence in the municipality.

SECTION D

INTEGRATION PHASE

9.1 INTRODUCTION

With the Integration Phase of the IDP process the Municipality ensures that project proposals conform to objectives and agreed strategies with resource frames (financial and institutional) and with legal requirements. Moreover, the individual project proposals have to be scheduled in terms of content, location and timing in order to arrive at consolidated integrated programmes for the municipality, as well as sector agencies or corporate services providers involved in the provision of services. The purpose of this section is to report on and ensure that national and provincial guidelines related to crosscutting dimensions are adequately considered. This was achieved by the drafting of various inter-sector programmes, as prescribed in the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000), other legislation, and the IDP Guide Packs. Please note that the Waterberg District Municipality had insufficient resources for the drafting of specific sector plans/programmes to the required level of detail in all instances. Only the plans/programmes essential to the IDP process at this point in time have, therefore, been drafted, as required.

SECTION E

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

The implementation of the projects and programmes of the municipality is guided by the performance management systems framework that is attached underneath

20 INTRODUCTION

The Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations stipulates that a municipality’s Performance Management System (PMS) must entail a framework that describes and represents how the municipality's cycle and processes of performance planning, monitoring, measurement, review, reporting and improvement will be conducted, organised and managed, including determining the roles of the different role-players.

In line with the said legal requirement this framework is a policy document that will set out the requirements that the Waterberg District Municipality’s PMS will need to fulfill, the principles that informed its development and subsequent implementation, the preferred performance model of the Municipality, the process by which the system will work, the delegation of responsibilities for different roles in the process and a plan for the implementation of the system.

10.2 THE LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

The legislative and policy framework for PMS includes the Constitution, The Municipal Systems Act, the Municipal Finance Management Act, Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations, The White Paper on Local Government and Batho Pele principles. The main regulatory mechanism for PMS is Chapter 6 of the MSA and the related Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations.

The major PMS policy instruments is the 1998 White Paper on Local Government supported by the Batho Pele principles, which policies was given legal stature through the adoption of the Municipal Systems Act in 2000 (Act 32 of 2000). The said Act requires all municipalities to:

• Develop a performance management system

• Set targets and monitor and review the performance of the Municipality based on indicators linked to their Integrated Development Plan (IDP)

• Table and publish an annual performance report on performance of the Municipality forming part of its annual report as per the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA).

• Incorporate and report on a set of general (sometimes also referred to as national) indicators prescribed by the Minister responsible for local government

• Conduct, on a continuous basis, an internal audit of all performance measures

• Have their annual performance report audited by the Auditor-General

• Involve the community in setting indicators and targets and reviewing municipal performance

These are some of the main elements and requirements of the legislative requirements for the development and implementation of a performance management system for municipalities. For the ease of reference and for the benefit of a comprehensive Waterberg District Municipality Performance Management System Framework, more detailed legislative and policy guidelines and requirements are included in the framework.

10.2.1 The White Paper on Local Government (1998)

The White Paper on Local Government (1998) suggested that local government should introduce the idea of performance management systems. The White Paper noted that,

"Involving communities in developing some municipal key performance indicators increases the accountability of the municipality. Some communities may prioritise the amount of time it takes a municipality to answer a query; others will prioritise the cleanliness of an area or the provision of water to a certain number of households. Whatever the priorities, by involving communities in setting key performance indicators and reporting back to communities on performance, accountability is increased, and public trust in the local government system enhanced" (The White Paper on Local Government, 1998).

2 Batho Pele (1998)

Similarly, the White Paper on Transforming Public Service Delivery (Batho Pele) puts forward eight principles for good public service:

Consultation:

Citizens should be consulted about the level and quality of public service they receive, and, where possible, should be given a choice about the services which are provided.

Service standards:

Citizens should know what standard of service to expect.

Access:

All citizens should have equal access to the services to which they are entitled.

Courtesy:

Citizens should be treated with courtesy and consideration

Information:

Citizens should be given full and accurate information about the public services they are entitled to receive.

Openness and transparency:

Citizens should know how departments are run, how resources are spent, and who is in charge of particular services.

Redress:

If the promised standard of service is not delivered, citizens should be offered an apology, a full explanation and a speedy and effective remedy; and when complaints are made citizens should receive a sympathetic, positive response.

Value-for-money:

Public services should be provided economically and efficiently in order to give citizens the best possible value-for-money.

"Importantly, the Batho Pele White Paper notes that the development of a service-oriented culture requires the active participation of the wider community. Municipalities need constant feedback from service-users if they are to improve their operations. Local partners can be mobilised to assist in building a service culture. For example, local businesses or non-governmental organisations may assist with funding a helpline, providing information about specific services, identifying service gaps or conducting a customer survey" - The White Paper on Local Government (1998).

10.2. 3 The Municipal Systems Act (2000)

The principle requirements of the Municipal Systems Act have already been highlighted. To provide further insights into the requirements of the Act, the different sections of Chapter 6 of the MSA will be summarised:

• Section 38: Requires municipalities to establish a Performance Management System, promote a performance management culture and administer its affairs in an economical, effective, efficient and accountable manner.

• Section 39: Gives Executive Mayor the responsibility for managing the development of a Performance Management System, as well as powers of delegation of responsibilities and the responsibility of submitting the PMS to Council.

• Section 40: Places responsibility on the municipality for the monitoring and review of its PMS.

• Section 41: Outlines the core components to be included in the PMS of the municipality, and refers to KPI’s, targets, measurement mechanisms, steps for improvement and the reporting processes.

• Section 42: Requires the municipality to establish mechanisms and procedures for community involvement in the process, in terms of Chapter 4 of the MSA.

• Section 43: Allows the minister to establish general KPI’s which must be included in the KPI’s of municipalities, to the extent that these general KPI’s are relevant to the municipality.

• Section 44: Requires the municipality to notify stakeholders internally and the general public of its KPI’s and targets.

• Section 45: Requires the municipality to conduct an internal audit of its performance as well as an audit by the auditor general.

• Section 46: Requires the municipality to prepare an annual performance report.

• Section 47: Requires MEC to compile an annual performance report for the municipalities within the province

• Section 48: The Minister has to compile an annual report and submit it to parliament, in terms of the performance of the municipalities in relation to general KPI’s

• Section 49: Allows the Minister to make regulations or issue guidelines for the purpose of Chapter 6 of the MSA

4 Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (2001)

The Minister responsible for local government published the Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (2001) in terms of the Municipal Systems Act (Section 49) setting out in detail the requirements for a municipal PMS. The Regulations also contain the general Key performance Areas prescribed by the Minister responsible for local government.

Listed as stated underneath

▪ KPA 1: BASIC SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

▪ KPA 2:LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

▪ KPA 3:TRANSFORMATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

▪ KPA 4:FINANCIAL VIABILITY AND MANAGEMENT

▪ KPA 5:GOOD GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Although not a legislative or policy requirement, the Department of Provincial and Local Government’s Performance Management Guide for Municipalities provides relevant guidelines for the preparation and implementation of Performance Management Systems. The detailed programme will to a great extent be based on these Guides, linked in with the relevant legislative requirements.

10.2.5 Municipal Finance Management Act (2004)

It is also important to note that the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) contains various important provisions related to municipal performance management. It requires municipalities to annually adopt a Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) with service delivery targets and performance indicators. Whilst considering and approving the annual budget the Municipality must also set measurable performance targets for each revenue source and vote. The Municipality must lastly compile an annual report, which must include a performance report compiled in terms of the Systems Act. In terms of circular 13 issued by National Treasury provision is also made for the compilation on an annual basis of departmental SDBIPs.

10.2.6 Performance management and measures at various levels

Performance management can be applied to various levels within any organisation. The legislative framework as set out above provides for performance management at various levels in a municipality including strategic (sometimes also referred to as municipal, organisational or corporate) level, operational (also referred to as services, departmental or section/team) level and lastly, individual level.

At strategic level the five-year IDP of a municipality forms the basis for performance management, whilst at operational level the annual SDBIP forms the basis. The IDP is a long-term plan and by its nature the performance measures associated with it will have a long-term focus, measuring whether a municipality is achieving its IDP objectives. A SDBIP (both for the municipality as a whole and that of a department) is more short-term in nature and the measures set in terms of the SDBIP, reviewing the progress made with implementing the current budget and achieving annual service delivery targets.

The measures set for the Municipality at strategic level is captured in a strategic (municipal/organisational/corporate) scorecard structured in terms of the preferred performance management model of the Municipality. The measures at operational level are to be captured in the SDBIP of the Municipality and the SDBIPs of the various Departments in the Municipality.

By cascading performance measures from strategic to operational level, both the IDP and the SDBIP, forms the link to individual performance management .This ensures that performance management at the various levels relate to one another which is a requirement of the Municipal Planning and Performance Regulations. The MFMA specifically requires that the annual performance agreements of managers must be linked to the SDBIP of a municipality and the measurable performance objectives approved with the budget.

The following diagram indicates the performance management at various levels:

10.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

As indicated in the previous chapter the Municipality’s PMS is the primary mechanism to monitor, review and improve the implementation of it’s IDP and to gauge the progress made in achieving the objectives as set out in the IDP. The objectives for any municipal performance management system is guided and regulated by the relevant legislation and policy guidelines. The Planning and Performance Management Regulations informs the objectives to a great extent. The PMS for the Waterberg District Municipality includes the following objectives that the system should fulfill:

1

Meeting IDP Objectives

To ensure that the priorities as contained within the IDP are achieved, by measuring the success of meeting these

Effective Community Participation

The Performance Management System is to ensure that effective community participation is achieved throughout the process.

Financial Accountability

The system should assist in improving the financial accountability of the key office bearers and officials.

2 Facilitate increased accountability

The performance management system should provide a mechanism for ensuring increased accountability between the local community, politicians, the Municipal Council and the municipal management team.

3

4 Facilitate learning and improvement

The PMS should facilitate learning in order to enable the Municipality to improve delivery.

5 Provide early warning signals

It is important that the system ensure decision-makers are timeously informed of performance related risks, so that they can facilitate intervention, if necessary.

6 Facilitate decision-making

The performance management system should provide appropriate management information that will allow efficient, effective and informed decision-making, particularly on the allocation of resources.

The functions listed above are not exhaustive, but summarize the intended benefits of the system. These intended functions should be used to evaluate and review the performance management system on a regular basis.

10.4 PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE WATERBERG DISTRICT MUNICIPAL PMS

The principles that should govern the Waterberg District Municipal PMS are developed to ensure that the PMS is relevant, especially in attaining its objectives and legislative requirements. The said principles are the following:

Effective- utilization of financial and human resources

Simplicity -so as to facilitate implementation given any current capacity constraints,

Politically Acceptable -To all political role players,

Administratively Managed- in terms of its day-to-day implementation,

Implementable -within any current resource constraints,

Transparency And Accountability- both in terms of developing and implementing the system,

Efficient And Sustainable- in terms of the ongoing implementation and use of the system,

Public Participation- in terms of granting citizens their constitutional right to participate in the process,

Integration- of the PMS with the other management processes within the Municipality,

Objectivity -based on credible information and lastly,

Reliability -of the information provided on the progress in achieving the objectives as set out in its IDP.

10.5 PREFERRED PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT MODEL

A performance management model can be defined as the grouping together of performance indicators, sometimes based on the type of indicator, into logical categories or groups (often called perspectives), as a means to enhance the ability of an organisation to manage and analyse its performance. As such a model provides a common framework for what aspects of performance is going to be measured and managed. It further ensures that a balanced set of measures are employed that are not relying on only one facet of performance and therefore not presenting a holistic assessment of the performance of an organisation.

A number of performance models are available and any of them could be applied by the Municipality. The available models include the Municipal Scorecard, Balanced Scorecard and the Key Performance Area Model. The Municipality has however chosen its own model known as the Balanced Score Card , which is primarily based on the Key Performance Area Model and relevant to the powers and functions of the municipality. In terms of the said model all indicators are grouped together into the national Key Performance Areas and all the Municipality’s performance scorecards have been structured accordingly.

10.6 THE PROCESS OF MANAGING PERFORMANCE

The annual process of managing performance at strategic level in the Municipality involves the steps as set out in the diagram below:

[pic]

The following table spells out in more detail the role of all relevant role players in each of the above steps:

The balance of this chapter looks at each of the steps in more detail and how they will unfold in the process of managing performance in the Municipality. Although the steps and what follow relates mainly to performance management at strategic level, the principles and approaches as espoused could also be applied to performance management at operational level.

It will be apparent throughout the rest of this chapter that the link between the organizational and employee performance has been provided for as part of the recommendations of the actions to be followed, thus addressing the legal requirement of linking the two.

1. Performance Planning

The performance of the Municipality is to be managed in terms of its IDP and the process of compiling an IDP and the annual review thereof therefore constitutes the process of planning for performance. It should be noted that the last component of the cycle is that of performance review and the outcome of such a review process must inform the next cycle of IDP compilation/review by focusing the planning processes on those areas in which the Municipality has under-performed.

10.6.2 Performance monitoring

Performance monitoring is an ongoing process by which a Manager accountable for a specific indicator as set out in the balanced scorecard (or a service delivery target contained in an annual SDBIP) continuously monitors current performance against targets set. The aim of the monitoring process is to take appropriate and immediate interim (or preliminary) action where the indication is that a target is not going to be met by the time that the formal process of performance measurement, analysis, reporting and review is due.

In the instance of the Waterberg District Municipality it is recommended that the balanced scorecard of the Municipality be reported on a quarterly basis to the Executive Mayor (EM). Performance monitoring requires that in between the said formal cycle of performance measurement appropriate action be taken should it become evident that a specific performance target is not going to be met. It is therefore, proposed that at least on a monthly basis Managers track performance trends against targets for those indicators that lie within the area of accountability of their respective Departments as a means to identify performance related problems and take appropriate remedial action on time.

It will be appropriate for each Senior Manager to delegate to the Assistant Manager/ Any senior official in the department, the responsibility to monitor the performance for his/her sector. Such Assistant Managers/Senior Officials are, after all, best placed given their understanding of their sector to monitor on a regular basis whether targets are being met currently or will be met in future, what the contributing factors are to the level of performance and what interim remedial action needs to be undertaken.

3. Performance measurement

Performance measurement refers to the formal process of collecting and capturing performance data to enable reporting to take place for each key performance indicator and against the target set for such indicator. Given the fact that initially at least the Municipality will have to rely on a manual process to manage its performance provision has been made in the balanced scorecard for the name of an official responsible for reporting on each indicator (please note that this might not necessarily be the same official accountable for performance on an indicator).

The said official will, when performance measurement is due, have to collect and collate the necessary performance data or information and capture the result against the target for the period concerned on the strategic scorecard and report the result to his/her Manager making use of the said scorecard after completing the next step (see performance analysis below). It should be noted at this stage that for each of the scorecards of the Municipality two formats exist namely a planning and reporting format. The planning format is used to plan and capture the performance targets for each indicator whilst the reporting format is used to capture actual performance against targets and to report to the Executive Mayor and Council.

4. Performance analysis

Performance analysis involves the process of making sense out of measurements. It requires interpretation of the measurements as conducted in terms of the previous step to determine whether targets have been met and exceeded and to project whether future targets will be met or not. Where targets have not been met performance analysis requires that the reasons therefore should be examined and corrective action recommended. Where targets have been met or exceeded, the key factors that resulted in such success should be documented and shared so as to ensure organisational learning.

In practice the aforementioned entails that the Senior Manager responsible for each indicator will have to, after capturing the performance data against targets on the strategic scorecard, analyse the underlying reasons why a target has/has not been met and capture a summary of his/her findings on the strategic scorecard. The Manager will thereafter have to compile a draft recommendation in terms of the corrective action proposed in instances where a target has not been achieved and also capture this on the strategic scorecard. Provision has been made on the reporting format of the strategic scorecard to capture both the “reason for the performance status” (in other words the results of the analysis undertaken) and the ”corrective action” proposed.

The strategic scorecard as completed must then be submitted to a formal meeting of the senior management team for further analysis and consideration of the draft recommendations as captured by the relevant Managers. This level of analysis should examine performance across the organisation in terms of all its priorities with the aim to reveal and capture whether any broader organisational factors are limiting the ability to meet any performance targets in addition to those aspects already captured by the relevant Manager.

The analysis of the strategic scorecard by senior management should also ensure that quality performance reports are submitted to Executive Mayor and that adequate response strategies are proposed in cases of poor performance. Only once senior management has considered the strategic scorecard, agreed to the analyses undertaken and captured therein and have reached consensus on the corrective action as proposed, can the strategic (municipal/organizational/ corporate) scorecard be submitted to the Executive Mayor for consideration and review.

10.6.5 Performance reporting and review

The next two steps in the process of performance management namely that of performance reporting and performance review will be dealt with at the same time. This section is further divided into three sections dealing with the requirements for quarterly versus annual reporting and reviews respectively and lastly a summary is provided of the various reporting requirements.

1. In-year performance reporting and review

The submission of the strategic scorecard to the Executive Mayor for consideration and review of the performance of the Municipality as a whole is the next step in the process. The first such report is a major milestone in the implementation of any PMS and it marks the beginning of what should become a regular event namely using the performance report as a tool to review the Municipality’s performance, and subsequently the IDP, and to make important political and management decisions on how to improve.

As indicated earlier it is recommended that the strategic (organisational/corporate/municipal) scorecard be submitted to the Executive Mayor for consideration and review on a quarterly basis. The reporting should therefore take place in October (for the period July to end of September - quarter 1 of the financial year), January (for the period October to the end of December - quarter 2), April (for the period January to the end of March - quarter 3) and July (for the period April to the end of June - quarter 4).

The review in January will coincide with the mid-year performance assessment as per section 72 of the MFMA. The said section determines that the accounting officer must by 25 January of each year assess the performance of the municipality and report to the Council on inter alia its service delivery performance during the first half of the financial year and the service delivery targets and performance indicators as set out in its SDBIP.

Performance reviews is the process where the leadership of an organisation, after the performance of the organisation have been measured and reported to it, reviews the results and decide on appropriate action. The EM in reviewing the strategic (municipal/organisational/corporate) scorecard submitted to her on a quarterly basis will have to ensure that targets committed to in the scorecard have been met, where they have not, that satisfactory and sufficient reasons have been provided by senior management and that the corrective action being proposed is sufficient to address the reasons for poor performance. If satisfied with the corrective action as proposed these must to be adopted as formal resolutions of Council, minuted and actioned accordingly.

10.6.5.2 Annual performance reporting and review

On an annual basis a comprehensive report on the performance of the Municipality also needs to be compiled. The requirements for the compilation, consideration and review of such an annual report are set out in chapter 12 of the MFMA. In summary it requires that:

• All municipalities for each financial year compile an annual report

• The annual report be tabled within seven months after the end of the financial year

• The annual report immediately after it has been tabled be made public and that the local community be invited to submit representations thereon

• The municipal Council consider the annual report within nine months after the end of the financial year and adopt an oversight report containing the council’s comments on the annual report

• The oversight report as adopted be made public

• The annual report as tabled and the Council’s oversight report be forwarded to the Auditor-General, the Provincial Treasury and the department responsible for local government in the Province

• The annual report as tabled and the Council’s oversight report are submitted to the Provincial legislature.

The oversight report to be adopted provides the opportunity for full Council to review the performance of the Municipality. The requirement that the annual report once tabled and the oversight report be made public similarly provides the mechanism for the general public to review the performance of the Municipality. It is however, proposed that in an effort to assist the public in the process and subject to the availability of funding, a user-friendly citizens’ report be produced in addition to the annual report for public consumption. The citizens’ report should be a simple, easily readable and attractive document that translates the annual report for public consumption.

It is also proposed that annually a public campaign be embarked upon to involve the citizens of the Municipality in the review of municipal performance over and above the legal requirements of the Municipal Systems Act and the MFMA. Such a campaign could involve all or any combination of the following methodologies:

• Various forms of media including radio, newspapers and billboards should be used to convey the annual report.

• The public should be invited to submit comments on the annual report via telephone, fax and email.

• Public hearings could be held in a variety of locations to obtain input of the annual report.

• Making use of existing structures such as ward and/or development committees to disseminate the annual report and invite comments.

• Hosting a number of public meetings and road shows at which the annual report could be discussed and input invited.

• Producing a special issue of the municipal newsletter in which the annual report is highlighted and the public invited to comment.

• Posting the annual report on the council website and inviting input

The public review process should be concluded by a formal review of the annual report by the IDP Representative Forum of the Municipality.

Lastly it should be mentioned that the performance report of a municipality is only one element of the annual report and to ensure that the outcome thereof timeously inform the next cycle of performance planning in terms of an IDP compilation/review process, it is recommended that the annual performance report be compiled and completed as soon after the end of a financial year as possible but ideally not later that two months after financial-year end.

10.6.5.3 Summary of various performance reporting requirements

10.7 THE AUDITING OF PERFORMANCE MEASURES

10.7.1 The role of internal audit in terms of performance management

The MFMA requires that the Municipality must establish an internal audit section which service could be outsourced depending on its resources and specific requirements. Section 45 of the Municipal Systems Act stipulates that the results of the Municipality’s performance measures must be audited by the said internal audit section as part of the internal auditing process and annually by the Auditor-General.

The Municipal Planning and Performance management Regulations stipulates that internal audit section must on a continuous basis audit all performance and the auditing must include an assessment of the following:

i) The functionality of the municipality’s performance management system.

ii) Whether the municipality’s performance management system complies with the Act.

iii) The extent to which the municipality’s performance measurements are reliable in measuring the performance of municipalities by making use of indicators.

Each of the aforementioned aspects will now be looked at briefly.

Functionality

The function could be defined as a proper or expected activity or duty or to perform or operate as expected. This could also be applied to the operation of any system such a PMS. The internal audit section must therefore on a regular basis audit whether the PMS of the Municipality is functioning as developed and described in this framework.

Compliance

To comply can be defined as to act in the way that someone else has commanded. In this respect it is clear that the legislature wishes to ensure that the Municipality’s PMS complies strictly with the requirements of the Systems Act, Regulations and the MFMA. This compliance check would require that the Municipality’s internal audit unit, at least on an annual basis, verifies that the Municipality’s PMS complies with the said legal requirements.

Reliability

To rely could be defined as to trust or depend (upon) with confidence. Reliability in the context of PMS refers to the extent to which any performance measures reported upon could be seen as being reliable, e.g. if the performance target was to build 500 houses and it is reported that the target has been met or exceeded, it must be established whether the information is factually correct or only an estimation or even worse, purposeful misrepresentation. Undertaking a reliability audit will entail the continuous verification of performance measures and targets reported upon. This will require that the Municipality sets in place a proper information management system (electronically or otherwise) so that the internal audit section is able to access information regularly and to verify its correctness.

The Municipality’s internal auditor must submit quarterly reports on the audits undertaken to the Municipal Manager and the Audit Committee.

10.7.2.Audit Committee

The MFMA and the Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations require that the municipal council establish an audit committee consisting of a minimum of three members, where the majority of members are not employees of the municipality. No Councillor may be a member of an audit committee. Council shall also appoint a chairperson who is not an employee.

The Regulations gives municipalities the option to establish a separate performance audit committee whereas the MFMA provides only for a single audit committee. The operation of this audit committee when dealing with performance management is governed by section 14 (2-3) of the Regulations which require that the audit committee must:

• review the quarterly reports submitted to it by the internal audit unit

• review the municipality's PMS and make recommendations in this regard to the Council of the Municipality

• at least twice during a financial year submit an audit report to the municipal Council

In order to fulfill their function a performance audit committee may, according to the MFMA and the Regulations,

• communicate directly with the council, municipal manager or the internal; and external auditors of the municipality concerned;

• access any municipal records containing information that is needed to perform its duties or exercise its powers;

• request any relevant person to attend any of its meetings, and, if necessary, to provide information requested by the committee; and

• investigate any matter it deems necessary for the performance of its duties and the exercise of its powers.

The Municipality has already established an Audit Committee and it is recommended that their responsibility in terms of performance management be as set out in the MFMA, Regulations and this framework.

10.8 PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATIONS

The Audit Committee should also be able to commission in-depth performance investigations where there is either continued poor performance, a lack of reliability in the information being provided or on a random ad-hoc basis. The performance investigations should assess:

• The reliability of reported information

• The extent of performance gaps from targets

• The reasons for performance gaps

• Corrective action and improvement strategies

While the internal audit section may be used to conduct these investigations, it is preferable that external service providers, preferably academic institutions, who are experts in the area to be audited, should be used. Clear terms of reference will need to be adopted by the Council for each such investigation.

10.9 .GENERAL ISSUES RELATING TO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

The following is some general issues related to performance management that needs to be taken into consideration in implementing the PMS of the Municipality:

10.8.1 Annual review of the Performance Management System

As stated earlier, one of the functions of the audit committee is to on at least an annual basis, review the PMS of the Municipality. It is envisaged that after the full cycle of the annual review and reporting is complete and the audit committee has met as required; the internal audit section will compile a comprehensive assessment/review report on whether the Municipality’s PMS meets the system objectives and principles as set out in this framework and whether the system complies with the Systems Act, PMS Regulations and the MFMA. This report then needs to be considered by the audit committee and any recommendations on amendments or improvements to be made to the PMS, submitted to the Council for consideration.

The Municipal Systems Act requires the Municipality also annually evaluate its PMS. The review undertaken by the audit committee and its recommendations could serve as input into this wider municipal review of the PMS and it is proposed that after the full cycle of the annual review is complete; the Municipal Manager will initiate an evaluation report, taking into account the input provided by departments. The report will then be discussed by the Management Team and finally submitted to the Council for discussion and approval.

10.8.2Amendments to key performance indicators and targets

The Municipality will have to adopt a policy on amendments to indicators and targets. It is recommended that such amendments may be proposed but will be subject to the approval of the Executive Mayor in consultation with the Municipal Manager.

10.10.INTEGRATING PMS WITH THE COUNCIL’S EXISTING MANAGEMENT CYCLE

International best practice indicates that PMS stand the best chance to succeed if it is integrated with the current management cycle of the Municipality. The purpose of such a cycle would be to guide the integration of important processes such as the strategic planning or development process in terms of the IDP methodology, the annual budget process and the formal process of evaluating and assessing Council’s performance in terms of the approved PMS and this framework..

11. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

The implementation of the PMS in terms of this framework would require co-ordination and it is recommended that at organisational level this be the task of the Manager: Corporate Services supported by the PIMSS Centre through the aid of the PMS Co-ordinator. This is not to say that it would be the said person’s responsibility to measure, analyse and report on performance but only to ensure that this happens and that material is collated and available for analyses and review as per this framework on behalf of the Municipal Manager.

At an individual level the responsibility for co-ordination, administration and record keeping should be the responsibility of the Assistant Manager responsible for human resource management.

The Municipality also needs to ensure that its internal audit section is capacitated to deal with the additional responsibilities it has in terms of performance management over and above its traditional financial audit responsibilities.

10.12 CONCLUSION

In conclusion it must be emphasised that there are no definitive solutions to managing municipal performance. The process of implementing a performance management system must be seen as a learning process, where the Municipality must continuously improve the way the system works to fulfil the objectives of the system and address the emerging challenges from a constantly changing environment.

SECTION F

APPROVAL PHASE

11.1 BACKGROUND

• The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the Municipal Systems Act requires council to develop a service delivery plan to address the developmental needs and fulfil its developmental role at local government level.

• The document outlining how council intends to carry out its developmental role during its term of office will be in the form of the Integrated Development Plan, which is reviewed annually.

• Having further adhered to provisions of Sections 27 and 29 of the Systems Act, the IDP review process commenced in August 2006 after the adoption of the IDP review framework and process plan by Council.

• Council has in further compliance with legislation established structures that will ensure that its developmental role is achieved.

• In total two steering committee meetings, one management strategic retreat workshop (Spearheaded by the Municipal Manager), one Executive strategic Workshop (Lead by the Executive Mayor), One strategic retreat workshop for the entire district, District wide IDP/Budget Imbizos, Three session on the NSDP application and Contextualisation, One District Growth and Development Summit, Three representative forums meetings were held to solicit inputs and comments from relevant stakeholders regarding the reviewed IDP as presented.

11.2 DISCUSSION

• Section 34 of the Systems Act requires that a municipal council must review its integrated development plan annually in accordance with its performance measurements.

• The Executive Mayor managed also in terms of section 21 of the MFMA to co-ordinate the process for preparing the annual budget and reviewing the municipality’s IDP with a time schedule outlining key deadlines, and presented same at least 10 months prior to the start of the budget year for adoption by Council. Council adopted the IDP review framework and process plans on the 31 August 2006. Subsequent to that a draft IDP was approved on the 30 April 2007.

• A grace of 21 days was granted to the public to make inputs and forward comments on the draft IDP through print media.

• The inputs from the public from the district Imbizos and personal submissions were collated and presented to the various structures of the IDP in terms of the process plan, including the IDP representative Forum and subsequent to that the District wide strategic workshop for final integration.

• The Mayoral committee recommended the adoption and Council during its seating of the 31 May 2007 approved the reviewed IDP for the financial year 2007/08. [pic][pic][pic]

[3] Number of Beds refers to usable or functional or active beds per hospital

[4] Population should be those of the resident people within the local municipality and district. Cross reference to the DHIS is crucial and deviations to the data captured on the provincial database will need to be clearly explained. Any major cross boundary flow of patients should be explained in text.

[6] The notion of an institution is distinct from the term organisation (Hassen Mohamed, 1997). According to Bryant and White (1984), institutions are a “valued and persistent set of rules that shape patterns of human behaviour and relationships” while organisations are “groups consciously established to achieve specific purposes through a division of labour”.
