Maphumulo IDP - KZN Development Planning

The bulk of capital investment goes towards high priority projects. This clearly indicates analignment of capital investment with key areas of intervention, i.e. the provision of basicservices which in the case of Maphumulo is focused on water, sanitation, roads andstormwater, social upliftment, economic regeneration, as it should be in terms of nationaland provincial guidelines.One of the most critical issues related to achieving what has been set out in this IDP andparticularly in respect of its Capital Investment Programme and Framework is the availabilityof resources – financial and human resources. Financial and human resource constraints areof national significance and the question remains that, even if the Maphumulo Municipalityhas access to sufficient financial resources to fund this Capital Investment Programme andFramework, does it have the human resource capacity to give effect to this CapitalInvestment Programme and Framework? The Municipality’s Institutional Plan needs toconsider this matter further and give particular consideration to human resource capacityand development which in turn needs to influence the Financial Plan.The diagrams below depicts the schedule of Programme & Projects that have beenidentified as part of a comprehensive consultation process and various engagements atdistrict and individual session with Provincial Sector Departments to incorporate their MTEF’sand formulate a Capital Investment Framework for Maphumulo Municipality. The table(attached as Appendix 1) demonstrates the alignment between the National KPA’s and theProvincial Strategic Goals as well as to the catalytic projects as part of the Outcome BasedIDP Approach. Of note, is that the municipality is largely (83%) dependent on externalsources of funding to achieve its mandate and infrastructure service delivery plan. Themunicipality has approximately R45 million committed own internal revenue allocated to becapitalized towards project implementation. One of the shortcomings is to incorporate allthe other external departments MTEF’s to determine the overall capital expenditure withinMaphumulo, this in turn will assist to evaluate the manner in which backlogs are addressedand strategic objectives are met.Figure 18: Maphumulo Capital Budget vs Resource Allocation 2012/13Figure 19: Maphumulo Capital Budget vs Resource Allocation 2013/14__________________________________________________________________________________________Maphumulo Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2012 - 2013Final June 2012Page 122 of 142
