Environmental Management: The District boasts one of the country’s largest wetlands, and features aunique and sensitive eco-system, responsible for the general well-being of not only the District, butalso the economic hub of South Africa, namely Gauteng. Consequently, the District will all supportdevelopment(s) aimed at meeting the following objectives: Biodiversity; Promotion and protection of indigenous plants and vegetation; Rehabilitation and revival of local streams and rivers; Eco-tourism activities.2.12 The Gert Sibande Spatial Development Framework, 2009 (GSSDF)The Gert Sibande Spatial Development Framework, 2009 (GSSDF) drafted for the Gert Sibande DistrictMunicipality, is based on the following development principles: To actively protect, enhance and manage the natural environmental resources of the District, in orderto ensure a sustainable equilibrium between biodiversity conservation, mining, manufacturing andindustrial activities, agriculture, forestry, and tourism related activities within the District. To optimally capitalize on the strategic location of the District and its five key economic strips /corridors, and to functionally link all towns and settlements to one another through establishing andmaintaining a strategic road and rail network comprising internal and external linkages. To utilize the existing natural environmental, cultural-historic and man-made activity areas within theDistrict as Tourism Anchors and Nodes; and to develop and promote the eastern parts of the District(around route R33) as a Primary Tourism Corridor linking the Lowveld Tourism Precinct to the north (in Ehlanzeni), to the St Lucia Tourism Precinct located to the south ofthe District. To promote forestry within and along the identified Primary Tourism Corridor. To promote intensive and extensive commercial farming activities throughout the District, and tofacilitate and concentrate subsistence farming activities within certain rural communities. To unlock the development potential of existing towns through developing industry specific SpecialEconomic Zones / Economic Clusters throughout the District, in line with the MPISF and the provincialLED Strategy. To ensure that all communities have access to at least the minimum levels of service as enshrined inthe Constitution.

To facilitate and accommodate mining in the District in a sustainable manner in order to support localelectricity generation and industrial development. To consolidate the urban structure of the District around the highest order centres by way of infilldevelopment and densification in Strategic Development Areas (SDAs). In order to ensure alignment between the Lekwa Local Municipality SDF and the District SDF theseprinciples should be applied when drafting the Spatial Framework.Specific development proposals with regard to Lekwa Local Municipality are as follows:33 | P a g e - D r a f t i n t e g r a t e d D e v e l o p m e n t P l a n 2 0 1 3 / 2 0 1 4
“To be the leading, people centered municipality excelling in economic growth, development and governance” The main urban areas are Standerton, Morgenzon and Thuthukani. These urban areas have also been identified as Thusong Service Centres. First Order Priority corridors are the R38 between Standerton and Bethal as well as the R35 betweenMorgenzon and Amersfoort. Third Order Priority corridor is the R39 between Morgenzon and Ermelo.ALIGNMENT WITH NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL PLANS AFFECTING LEKWAThe national sphere of government develops and promulgates legislation, policies and strategies which all tiershave to implement. In developing their own plans and policies, other spheres of government, particularly thelocal government sphere has to ensure that there is alignment with both national and provincial plans.The higher order plans provide the following guiding directives for the SDF for Lekwa LM: Lekwa Local Municipality forms part of the areas that were spatially designated and distorted, NSDPwill assists in bringing investment and growth in the area. The Municipality can be seen as an area ofunlimited potential growth as NSDP purports, where providing basic service and grants, humanresource development, labour market intelligence is not enough. Municipality’s economic andinfrastructural development needs to be aligned within the LED strategy. Growing sectors in theMunicipality such as the Agriculture and Tourism sectors need to be strengthened to ensureprogressive economic development. Investment in these areas needs to be coordinated andintegrated with the IDP of the Municipality and form part of the LED programmes identified as part ofthe LED Strategy. The Mpumalanga Provincial Growth and Development Strategy aims to address the keydevelopmental and economic challenges in the province.Municipal’s Intervention: In order to align the IDP to the PGDS, the Municipality has identified anumber of interventions to support the implementation of the PGDS, evident in the Municipal’s LocalEconomic Development and Spatial Development Framework sector plans. The repercussions of AsgiSA for Lekwa Local Municipality is that the LED Strategy must strive toencourage existing larger and small businesses (micro-enterprises) to work collectively and shareinvestments. Dormant and emerging businesses in the area should also be included in the majorstrategic interventions aimed at reviving the economy of the Municipality. Tourism businesses in theMunicipality should seek consultation with domestic and international experts as they form a majoreconomic sector in the area.Scarcity of skilled labor is also problematic for the Municipality. Efforts should therefore be directedtowards placement of committed trainees from the Municipal area into strong corporations, allowingthem to acquire skills and subsequently work within the Municipality. Skills development efforts alsoneed to form part of every economic, social and environmental initiative. This will permit industriesand small businesses to acquire skilled labor, while local communities are groomed in the appropriateskills to take up employment in the area. Intensive training should therefore be the cornerstone foruplifting the communities in the area. It is of critical importance that the LED strategy for the Municipality be tailored towards creating anenabling environment for its people. The LED strategy must comprise a “culture of collectives” withrural youth and young women coming together to work in developmental projects to increase theirincome and investments and subsequently gaining ownership of local businesses. This will requirecoherent coordination and interaction among organizations in Lekwa Municipality. The Agricultural sector in Lekwa Municipality is dominated by private land comprising commercialhorticultural and livestock farming and large scale crop farming. In order to expand farmingenterprises, land is required. Therefore, the Municipality’s IDP and LED needs to advocate theincreased availability of land. The lengthy land claims process constrains development in LekwaMunicipality, as up to certain percentage of land is subject to land claims, with land not being able tobe developed until the claims have been settled. Land reform elements, therefore, have tomaterialize in this regard. Protection and sustainable utilization of valuable natural resources; Improving road and rail infrastructure to stimulate socio-economic development, improve access toservices and facilities and link all settlements;34 | P a g e - D r a f t i n t e g r a t e d D e v e l o p m e n t P l a n 2 0 1 3 / 2 0 1 4
