Thereare however, a number of facilities that serve multi-purposes. Forexample, schools provide education, have sporting facilities, and providecommunity halls. In the same way, traditional courts serve as pension paypoints when required.When the distribution of these facilities is spatially assessed, it is clear thatin the past they have tended to respond to settlement patterns rather thanserving as the focal point for settlement. In this sense the provision ofthese facilities have contributed towards entrenching the low densitydispersed settlement patterns in the municipal area.Draft 2013/14 IDP Review Page 183Prepared by Umzinyathi District Municipality22 March 2013
