3.3 Foreword to the Annual Financial Statements<br />

During the 2008/2009 financial year the municipality was under severe pressure to ensure compliance to various<br />

changes in legislation and continue with implementation of Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP)<br />

standards. The municipality was however able to meet the challenges set by a changing legislative and accounting<br />

environment.<br />

The district municipality, as part of improving service delivery to the community, implemented proper communication<br />

channels through the local municipalities that have the Ward Committee and Community Development Workers<br />

systems at their disposal.<br />

Although capital projects were limited to those financed from external grant funding the municipality has successfully<br />

implemented the projects identified in the Integrated Development Plan/Budget for 2008/2009 financial year. The<br />

municipality will continue in the 2009/2010 financial year to implement uncompleted projects for the previous financial<br />

year and those projects identified in the IDP/Budget for the current year.<br />

Service delivery and the eradication of infrastructure backlogs remain a serious concern to all in local government.<br />

All role-players must ensure that they work together to overcome the legacy of the past and ensure that we uplift the<br />

living conditions of our people.<br />

I hereby wish to thank the members of the Mayoral Committee and Council together with staff for their commitment<br />

during the year in ensuring that we meet the set targets for the year.<br />

I thank you.<br />
