enablers and also measured against the NSDP, PGDS, Green Paper on National Planning, Local Government

To attract, retain
and build human
capital.
This is a basic need that requires the municipality to focus effort and resources on
programmes and projects to attract talent, develop employees and ensure that
the best human capital is retained. Included in the retention of the best human
capital, it is important that due regard be given to the strength “Institutional
knowledge” on how the municipality is ensuring that institutional knowledge be
kept within the municipality and transferred to other employees. This objective
will also assist the municipality to more effectively focus on the ‘bigger picture’
and to achieve its ambitions.
Focusing on attracting, developing and retaining the best human capital will enable the municipality to be
better equipped and capacitated and thereby improve the institutional processes.

corporate
governance

should be improved. Cooperative governance deals with policy
implementation, audit, information and communication technology,
intergovernmental relations which should be improved upon and
strengthen. This will lead to open and transparent decision-making and
sound governance practices throughout the municipality
