DECLARATION I, Mbongiseni William Buthelezi, hereby declare that An Evaluation Of The Mvula Trust Strategic Plan With Special Reference To Its Ability To Support The Water Services Delivery Role of Developmental Local Government In Northern KwaZulu-NataV is my own work, and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged. I further declare that this research has not been previously accepted for any degree and is not being submitted in candidature for any degree. Signed Date : 15 December 2006 i
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my indebtedness to the following people and organizations: 1. My supervisor, Dr Nobubele Potwana, for her guidance, supervision and support throughout the study. 2. My former employer, The Mvula Trust, for granting me permission to centre my study on the evaluation of the organization's strategic plan. 3. Municipal officials from Umkhanyakxide, Uthungulu and Zululand without whose support my research would not have been possible. 4. My colleagues and friends who always believed I have all what it takes accomplish a project of this magnitude and quality. 5. Ms Leena Samuel, US Peace Corps Volunteer, for her sterling work in editing my writing. 6. My loving parents, Mchitheni and Martha, for being supportive and appreciative of my accomplishments in life, no matter how small they are. This gave me strength and impetus to press on with my academic pursuit and constant quest for knowledge. 7. Finally, my wife, Nokuthula and my three kids, Mfezeko, Kgabiso and Inga for their unwavering moral support, understanding and encouragement over the past two and half years. I am truly blessed to have such a family. ii
