UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND1.1. INTRODUCTIONThe Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is the Municipality‟s principal strategicplanning document which ensures co-ordination of the government‟s developmentagenda among its three spheres. Integrated Development Planning is an approachto planning that involves the entire municipality and its citizens in finding the bestsolutions to achieve good long-term development. The IDP therefore enhancesintegrated service delivery and development and promotes sustainable, integratedcommunities, providing all services, as communities cannot be developed in afragmented manner. An Integrated Development Plan is a super plan for an areathat gives an overall framework for development. It aims to co-ordinate the work oflocal and other spheres of government in a coherent plan to improve the quality oflife for all the people living in an area. It should take into account the existingconditions and problems and resources available for development. The plan shouldlook at economic and social development for the area as a whole. It must set aframework for how land should be used, what infrastructure and services areneeded and how the environment should be protected. The integrated developmentplanning; as a concept must eliminate unnecessary duplication of effort andstreamline funding in a sustainable manner.9 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012The priorities identified in the IDP inform all financial planning and budgetingundertaken by the municipality. The attainment of IDP and budget targets anddeliverables must be monitored and evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure thatthe goals set with the communities are achieved through the use of performancemanagement system (PMS). To achieve this requires the development of aperformance management system which has performance indictors and is monitoredon a monthly/quarterly bases.The IDP finds its credence in a manner in which it is developed, through stakeholdermobilization and participation.This is the tool through which the democraticgovernment seeks to reverse the ills of apartheid, which was based on separatedevelopment overwhelmingly bias to the white population of this land at the expenseof the black majority. The IDP of any municipality in this country must decisively putthe emphasis on the upliftment and empowerment of blacks in general and Africansin particular through sustainable strategies. This must be evident in the manner inwhich the resources are allocated and programs implemented.The IDP is a continuous process whereby municipalities prepare 5-year strategicdevelopmental plans which must coincide with the term of council. These plans arereviewed annually in consultation with communities and stakeholders. These plansseek to promote integration by balancing social, economic and ecological pillars ofsustainability without compromising the institutional capacity required in theimplementation, and by coordinating actions across sectors and spheres ofgovernment.1.1.1 Preparation ProcessThe Integrated Development Plan (IDP) review is made up of five phases which areexplained below:Situational Analysis10 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Phase 1: Situational Analysis – A phase which deals with the existing situation in themunicipality and is focused on understanding the type of problem or challengesfacing the communities in each ward.It also determines the de facto situation ofmunicipalities, their priority issues as well as an indication on what the plans shouldbe focusing on.StrategiesPhase 2: Strategies – A phase in whereby the municipality formulates the solution toaddress the problems or challenges once they understand the problem. The strategyphase also include the formulation of the vision that would reflect an ambitious,credible, inspiring and achievable statement about the future of the municipality.Strategies are where the development objective, strategies and vision based on keyissues are formulated.ProjectsPhase 3: Projects – is derived from the strategies, objectives and vision based onkey issues are formulated. This phase is about the design and specification ofprojects for implementation.IntegrationPhase 4: Integration – is to ensure that all sector plans from within and outside themunicipality are aligned and integrated. In this phase the sub programme proposals,which were presented in the preceding phase have to be harmonized in terms ofcontents, location and timing in order to achieve consolidated programmes for themunicipality.Approval11 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Phase 5: Approval – once the IDP is completed, it is submitted to the municipalitycouncil for consideration and approval. Approval is the public comments andapproval of the planThe Stakeholders in the IDP Process MunicipalityThe IDP guides the development plans of the municipality through integration ofmunicipal plans and those of sector department. CouncillorsThe IDP gives councillors an opportunity to make decisions based on the needs andaspirations of their constituencies. Communities and other stakeholdersThe IDP is based on community needs and priorities. Communities have the chanceto participate in identifying their most important needs.The IDP process encourages all stakeholders who reside and conduct businesswithin a municipal area to participate in the preparation and implementation of thedevelopment plan. National and provincial sector departmentsMany government services are delivered by provincial and national governmentdepartments at local level. Municipalities must take into account the programmes12 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012and policies of these departments. The departments should participate in the IDPprocess so that they can be guided as to how to use their resources to address localneeds.1.2. LEGISLATIVE BAGROUND TO THE IDP1.2.1. Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act 108 of 1996The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa sets the objectives of localgovernment as:to provide democratic and accountable government for local communities;to ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner;to promote socio and economic development;to promote a safe and healthy environment; andto encourage the involvement of communities and community1.2.2. Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000In terms of the Municipal Systems Act all municipalities in South Africa must prepareIntegrated Development Plans (IDP) for their area of jurisdiction. This act definesthe IDP as “single inclusive and strategic plan for the development of themunicipality which:o links, integrates and co-ordinates a municipality‟s sector specific plans;o aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality to the overallDevelopment objectives of the municipality;o forms the policy framework on which annual budgets rest; and13 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012o is compatible with the national and provincial development plans1.2.3. Local Government: Municipal Planning and PerformanceManagement Regulations (2001)These Regulations make provision for the inclusion in the IDP of the following:The institutional framework for the implementation of the IDP;Investment and development initiatives in the Municipality;Key performance indicators and other important statistical information;A financial plan; andA spatial development framework.1.2.4. Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003This Act makes provision for alignment between the IDP and the municipal Budget.The Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan is the mechanism thatensures that the IDP and the Budget are aligned.1.2.5. Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002The Disaster Management Act, (Act 57 of 2002) in which the main features ofdisaster management are described as preventing or reducing of disasters,mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery and rehabilitation.The Disaster Management Act, 2002, provides for the declaration of disastersthrough national, provincial and local level government. In the case whereProvincial and Local authorities have determined that a disastrous droughtoccurred or threatens to occur, the disaster management centre of both theprovince and local municipality must immediately-Initiate efforts to assess the magnitude and severity or potentialmagnitude and severity of the disaster;14 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Inform the National Centres of the disaster and its initial assessment ofthe magnitude and severity or potential magnitude and severity of thedisaster;Alert disaster management role-players in the province that may be ofassistance in the circumstances; andInitiate the implementation of any contingency plans and emergencyprocedures that may be applicable in the circumstances.1.3.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND SIZEUmuziwabantu is located to the west of the Ugu district hence forming a westernboundary for the Ugu district and it borders on the Eastern Cape; Sisonke districtand Umzumbe and Ezinqoleni municipalities to the east. The municipality ranges inaltitude from 200m above sea level at UmzimkhuluRiver in KwaMbotho, to 220mabove sea level in the IngeliMountain. The topography is rugged, with manycatchments and sub catchments of both the Umzimkhulu and Umtamvuna rivers,which are from the northern and southern borders of the municipality.The extent of the Umuziwabantu Municipal area is 10 862 ha (1088 km²). This areais constituted as follows:Urban: Harding which is about 2% of the area;Farmland: This constitutes 36%;Forestation: 20%; andTribal Areas: approximately 42%16 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012UMuziwabantuMunicipality consists of 9 wards; however the delimitation of wardsprocess which is currently on has determined that for 2011 local governmentelections there will be 10 wards. There are six tribal authorities which are within themunicipal boundaries and they are listed here below:o Ward 1: KwaFodo and Dumisa Tribal Areas and farmland.o Ward 2: KwaMbotho and Bashaweni Tribal Areas and farmland.o Ward 3. Harding, part of KwaMbotho Tribal Area and Farmland.o Ward 4. Part of KwaMachi Tribal Area.o Ward 5. Part of KwaMachi Tribal Area.o Ward 6. Part of KwaMachi Tribal Area.o Ward 7. Part of KwaJali and KwaMachi Tribal areas, WezaStateForestand Farmland.o Ward 8. Part of KwaMachi Tribal Area.o Ward 9. Part of KwaJali Tribal Area.The spine road at Umuziwabantu is the N2 which connects this municipality withEzinqoleni and Port Shepstone on the east and the Eastern Cape on the south east.Connected to the N2 is R56 road which passes through Umzimkhulu; Ixobho andultimately Pietermaritzburg.TOPOGRAPHYUmuziwabantu like other rural municipality within Ugu is characterized by thetopography which is not friendly to the delivery of basic services. Its description iswell captured by the Ugu‟s Water Services Development Plan:TheUmuziwabantu area is 1088 km² in extent and is characterized by steeply incisedriver valleys and generally undulating topography. The area is sparsely populatedwith a population density of 88 people per square kilometer. The undulatingtopography and sparse population referred to above are some of the key factorswhich make it very difficult to achieve the RDP standards in service delivery. Thearea of KwaFodo is one of such areas where the terrain and space betweenhouseholds will make almost impossible to achieve the national target. In fact in17 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012some areas a proactive intervention to, firstly, discourage people from building inareas which are difficult to reach even by foot like deep valleys and gorges.Secondly, to encourage those that can afford to relocate to areas which are moreaccessible.2.2. DERMOGRAPHICS /POPULATION DISTRIBUTION18 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Demographics and population distribution guide any planning and developmentprocess, since the people provide labour and entrepreneurship for production andalso consume the output of production. To form a clear picture of socio-economicconditions in the Umuziwabantu municipality, it is vital to analyze the size, spatialdistribution, composition and growth pattern of the population, along with changesin these factors and possible future trends and tendencies.DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONKZN UGU UMUZIWABANTUArea Size (Km2)GrowthPopulationHouseholds5 044 1 0880.51 1.710 259 230 709 918 105 5792 234 125 151 620 21 459GenderMaleFemaleSex Ratio47.5 45.8 47,49352.5 54.2 58,08685.7 81.8Population GroupBlackColouredAsian/ IndianWhite86 92 96.31.4 0.6 1.78.2 3.5 1.74.4 3.8 0.419 | P a g e

The percentage ofpeople that are 65 years or older is lower than Ugu‟s and higher than that ofKwaZulu-Natal and South Africa. This shows high differences in dependency ratiobetween the non working age and those of working age from the municipality.Females form the majority of the population at 55.2% and the balance of 44,3% aremales.In terms of the population breakdown, Africans make up 97, 4% of the population inUmuziwabantu. Indians, whites and coloureds, constitutes only 0.4%, 0.5% and 1.7of the population in Umuziwabantu respectively. The population shows an averagegrowth of 1.3% per annum when compared with the 2001 national census statistics.2.3. SOCIO ECONOMIC ANALYSISThe purpose of the socio-economic analysis is to give a synopsis of Umuziwabantu interms of the physical, demographic, social and economic features. The situationalanalysis and statistics presented in this chapter indicate the developmentalchallenges facing Umuziwabantu, such as poverty, unemployment and servicedelivery backlogs. The programmes and projects in this IDP are informed by thisscenario.20 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/20122.3.1. Health ServicesUmuziwabantu Municipality currently has one (1) hospital, St Andrews Hospital; ninepermanent clinics (8), one of which is a municipal clinic and 3 mobile clinics. Thereare two clinics which are newly constructed at KwaMbotho and Santombe(KwaFodo). There is an additional one referred to as a cross border clinic because ofits location in both jurisdictions of Umuziwabantu and Izinqoleni municipalities, theKaNikwe Clinic. Weza clinic which was built in partnership with private company issubject to review of the contract between the owners and stakeholders. Given thepopulation of Umuziwabantu this number of health service points is not sufficient.There is a big influx of patients of the neighbouring villages e.g. Umzimkhulu to thehealth service centres in town also adding strain to the services is the neighbouringprovince Eastern Cape Bizana in particular.The Living Standards Assessment Survey conducted by the Global Research andMedical Network released in April 2004 indicated that the most commonly usedfacilities are clinics at 48% followed by private doctors at 33% and 25% ended upusing hospital services. Given the increase in the number of clinics since then, it isexpected that the number of people who use the clinic as the first point of contactwith the health services would have increase.2.3.2 HIV AND AIDSIt is impossible at this point of our history to speak about the social issues and nottalk about the HI virus and AIDS. This is due to its impact in the economy, familystructures and family expenditure patterns. Here below is a comparative table onHIV and AIDS Statistics sourced from Ugu LED Strategy completed in 2007. It isestimated that approximately 12,343 persons in Umuziwabantu were HIV positive in2004. The population infected in Umuziwabantu increased by 8,1 % between 1996to 2004 resulting in a total number of infected people increasing from 5.1% in1996 to 13,2% in 2004. The 8.1% rate increase of the infected people inUmuziwabantu is lower than 8.4% in both Ugu district and the province but higherthan 7.4% of the entire country.21 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Statistics show another increase in AIDS related deaths from 13.4% in 1996 to56.9% in 2004 compared with Ugu, the province and the country whose rates are54.4; 57.6 and 47.6 respectively for the same period. During the same period, 1996to 2004, there was virtually no increase in non-AIDS related deaths in most of themunicipalities in Ugu, as well as in the rest of KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa.HIV and AIDS StatisticsUmuziwabantu Ugu Kwazulu-Natal South AfricaHIV+Total: 2004 12,343 98,265 1364,030 5,021,067Annual Growth:1996-200413.6 13.4 13.2 16.9% of Population1996 5.1 5.3 5.8 3.52004 13.2 13.7 14.2 10.9DeathsTotal: 2004 1,647 13,348 172,512 687,280% AIDS Related1996 13.4 11.8 13.2 7.82004 56.9 54.4 57.6 46.7Annual Growth:1996-200422 | P a g e

The 2005-2006 statisticsshows that only about 1012 people were on ARVs through the local hospital. As perthe resolutions of the HIV and AIDS in the Ugu district an Ugudistrict AIDS Councilhas been established to coordinate the activities, programs and campaigns.One of the reasons why this forum was established was to minimize duplication bydifferent government departments; NGOs, the district and local municipalities.2.3.3 EducationEducation is the core function of the department of education and not of themunicipality. However, given the nature of the role the IDP must play inintergovernmental relations and the impact of skills in the economy at large it iscritical to consider. This department of Education is one of those departments whichhave aligned its boundaries to match those of local government.The statistics of 2001 estimated that 35.8% of Umuziwabantu population wasattending schools and that less than 8% of the population had completed Matric.The Standard of Living Assessment Survey estimated that 58% of this number travelon foot to school with 10% of these taking more than an hour to get to school.There is only one library in the municipality located in municipal offices in town.Needless to say that one small library cannot cope with more than 33 000 learners.Access to libraries is still the privilege of the few that resides in town or can afford totravel to town access the services.23 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012There are 60 schools within Umuziwabantu composed of 45 primary and 15secondary schools. Only one of these schools is a special school catering for childrenliving with disabilities.2.3.4 Other Social ServicesExcluding education which has been discussed above there are three otherdepartments which fall under social services: Departments of Social Welfare andPopulation Development; Home Affairs and Safety and Security. The services offeredby these departments were among the most discussed during the stakeholdersmeetings. The biggest concern with the three of them is their accessibility.Communities have to travel to town for their services as their functions are notdecentralized. Upon arrival, more especially with Home Affairs and Social Welfare,hours are spent on the queues with no guarantee that they shall get serviced on theday. Home Affairs specifically, is grossly understaffed.Social Welfare and Population Development is the better staffed of the two,however, the problem of overcrowding remains an issue. This department has aserious problem of space as well. They are currently using park homes as offices,which are not the best setting for their service. As a result people queue outsideoffices in different kinds of weather. With police stations, besides the issue ofstaffing, the biggest problem is that there is only one police station withinUmuziwabantu as a whole.IDP representative meetings have led Social Development Department to develop arotational strategy for all wards, by developing a rotational programme so that eachward can be given more attention as opposed to the past where people will all comeat once from all wards and some bound to not receiving assistance because of highnumbers. In addressing its challenge of space, the Department of SocialDevelopment is in process of identifying potential sites for construction of offices.2.3.5 Safety and security24 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012There is only one police station in the Umuziwabantu municipality which is situatedin town. The entire community is depending on this police station‟s services. Inpursuit to reduce crime, the establishment of Community Police Forums (CPF) andemergency zoning of villages need to be an area of focus.The Community Justice programme must be structured and strengthened to resolveon small cases. In addition to the inadequacy of this service, the existing PoliceStation lack equipment and vehicles. The municipality within the ensuing financialyear will be engaging the Provincial Department of Safety Liaison and the PoliceCommissioner regarding the possibility to improving accessibility of this service interms of building new police stations, equipping the existing ones and strengtheningof partnership especially in terms of sharing the available resources.The lack of or shortage of safety and security services, leads to communityconfusion whereby other people e.g. Ward 5 are serviced by Ezinqoleni policestation.It was strongly felt by almost all stakeholders that decentralization of social servicesoperations to MPCCs will be an answer to their problems. This is in line with the newthinking of the municipality to move away from provision of community halls intobuilding multi-purpose facilities which in terms of this plan the South African PoliceService could access space from such facilities.2.3.6 Community FacilitiesThe municipality shows enormous progress in the provision of community facilitiescompared to the previous era where development in communities was dominated bythe construction of community halls; sewing centres and crèches. These structureswere not based on sustainability principle and there were no operations andmaintenance plans projected. These structures were built by governmentdepartments; transitional authorities and the district municipality. Most of thesestructures are underutilized and are, consequently vandalized. Proper maintenanceplans need to be developed to safe guard these properties.25 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012There are also no management structures in place to run these facilities. In manyinstances these facilities were constructed and not handed over to the community,hence they are not maintained and not on the municipal asset register. There isgenerally little improvement on looking after community halls, crèches andmultipurpose centres. There is barely a plan to sustain their operations andmaintenance. Although in some wards, committees have been established to servicethese centres, a master plan embedded on principles of self sustainability must bedeveloped and decentralised to all wards.There is one functional and fully-fledged community library which was built by thedepartment of Sports, Arts and Culture.

As shown below, 20% of the population wasreceiving government grants during 2009-2010 financial year. This figure had grownby 15.6% between 2007 and 2008.SASSA 20010The figures above show that: More than 20% of Umuziwabantu population receives social grants The biggest number of recipient, by far are children, receiving the childsupport grant. The number of children receiving the child support grant is more than 50%of the total number of recipients atUmuziwabantu.2.3.8 Local Economic DevelopmentThe Umuziwabantu municipality has, like most predominantly rural municipalities inthe province and throughout the country, high levels of poverty, unemployment andinadequate economic growth to provide good quality of life to most of its residents.LED StrategyThe Umuziwabantu LED Strategy was completed in January 2008 as envisaged inthe original IDP. It is has been adopted by Council to become a legal municipaldocument and included in IDP as a sector plan that informs all local based economicdevelopment strategies.27 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Currently LED projects underway include the following:Ingeli trails, Wind generatedEnergy, Honey production, Bean production, training programmes for bothcooperatives and SMMEs and formalising their registration, formation ofumuziwabantu chapter business chamber of commerce and informal traders club. Inthestrategy, it appears that Umuziwabantu area has high potential for production ofmaize, wheat and sugar cane, other crops and plantations. People in the communityare encouraged to form groups of cooperatives in order to access theseopportunities. The municipal council has decided not to renew contracts of expiringlease of lands occupied by former advantaged counterparts, in pursuit ofencouraging previously disadvantaged people to use the land in future. Besides,certain areas like Gundrift, the topology of soils allows mining of tiles and mudrelated products, this opportunity need further exploration and lobbying to relevantbusiness partners.Food Security ProgramThe municipality is one of the two in the district which are beneficiaries from theFlemmish funded food security programme. This project is targeting the alreadyorganized groups and schools. It intervenes by providing the main infrastructureneeded to unlock the potential of existing projects and by providing seeds andimplements. Tremendous achievements have been made through the program as anestimated amount of 500 families have been touched since its inception. Theprogramme is funded for a period of four years with an estimate amount of R5m.Household IncomeHousehold income is one of the most important determinants of poverty levels in themunicipal area. The ability to meet basic needs is largely determined by the level ofincome earned by the households. Poverty is often defined as the lack of resourcesto meet the basic needs.Here blow is the individual monthly income based on census 2001.28 | P a g e

This is a challenge because the lack of income is dueto a number of issues such as unemployment and lack of opportunities for selfemployment. Lack or no income in a household is a direct contributing factor topoverty and also requires the municipality to closely look at the issues of indigentsupport.ECONOMIC PROFILELocation of formal employment opportunities in Umuziwabantu in 2004SECTOR Umuziwabantu Ugu29 | P a g e

One of the biggest contributors to this decline has been the poorperformance of Hans-Marensky group, one of the biggest timber processing firms inthe country employing thousands in the Umuziwaantu area. In the last few yearsthis firm laid off hundreds of its workforce. The table also indicates that the sectorthat employs the biggest number of people is forestry at 20.8, followed bygovernment at 19.5. the Living Standards Assessment indicated that 60% of the30 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012total number of the employed are unskilled labourers. This can be attributed to thelow level of skills and a shortage of entrepreneurial skills to create more jobs. Thisalso means that most of the raw material processed leaves the area unprocessed, ifthat was not the case the market would have had more skilled labour force.Economic Resource ProfileThe main economic activity in the UmuziwabantuMunicipality is farming, subsistencefarming and retail businesses. The retail business which is the core of Harding townis showing very slow growth.AgricultureIn the agricultural sector there is a marked division between the commercial sector(first economy) and the subsistence sector (subsistence agriculture). Furthermore,the commercial sector involves both primary production and agro-processingactivities.TimberForestry is an important crop serving the furniture and pulp industries. Largecommercial plantations are located mainly in the high rainfall areas near Harding.Timber is grown for hardwoods (for poles, pulp and bark – wattle and gum), andsoftwood (for logs - pine). Small and medium scale growers focus on hardwood forpulp production.The Ugu Agricultural sector plan indicted that there are various growers that areinvolved in UmuziwabantuMunicipality and they can be summarized as privatefarmers (Harding), Mondi (Harding), SappiForests (Harding), Masonite (Harding) andNCT Forestry Co-op (Harding). Sappi and Mondi have promoted small-scale growerswith access to communal traditional land but the long time period between plantingand harvesting means that the benefits are not readily evident.Subsistence AgricultureWith the exception of small scale maize growing, limited small-scale woodlots, thetraditional authority areas are generally characterised by subsistence agriculture.31 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012This comprises livestock raising (mainly cattle, goats and household chickens),dryland cropping and homestead gardening. Many rural people have multiplelivelihood strategies. They are involved in a range of agricultural activities but alsorely largely on social grants (pension and child support grants), salaries andremittance.Inland, the density of housing is reduced and grazing land is more available forlivestock. While livestock keeping is not primarily for commercial purposes, livestockdo play important roles in rural communities. While generating some cash throughsales in time of need, they are also a source of food (eggs, meat and milk), draughtpower for ploughing and a range of social benefits (e.g. lobolo).KZN Department of Economic Development - GIJIMA FundThe list below summarizes some of the projects that have received funding throughthe Gijima Programme. Port Shepstone – Ugu Market Depot System - Capacitate emerging ruralfarmers by linking them with the Ugu Fresh Produce Market Development –create infrastructure including bulk bins, forklifts and refrigeration (as apilot collection depot is proposed to be established –one at Umuziwabantu).

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012This sector covers a whole range of activities from logging and stripping to sawingand finally the manufacture of items such as construction materials (doors, windowframes and others), furniture and other household items.There is however, a lot thatstill needs to be done for timber beneficiation before it leaves the region. Trade and CommerceThis provides an overview of the economy for Umuziwabantu municipality. It isevident that the trade and commerce sector contributes a significant portion of theoverall economy in the municipalities. It accounts for around 50% of GDP in theUmuziwabantu municipality as stated in the Ugu Trade and Commerce sector plan.Table: Gross Geographic Product Profile of UmuziwabantuMunicipality Economy(GDP, 2004).SectorUmuziwabantuAgriculture 20.12Mining 0.66Manufacturing 19.30Electricity and water 0.19Construction 2.53Transport and communication 6.71Trade; catering and accommodation 17.67Finance and business services 4.93Community, social and otherpersonal services9.5933 | P a g e

Amongst others,competition is influenced by the following: Factor endowments – the availability of resources and their level ofdevelopment. Distance to markets – transport costs has a huge impact on unprocessedprimary products such as timber, mining and other agricultural products. . Infrastructure – poor infrastructure impacts negatively on the profitabilityand viability of industries. Provision of roads and electricity and otherspecific infrastructure requirements are critical for the survival and growth ofexisting industries and growth of new ones. Within this context governmentaction can play a strategic role in mitigating these costs. Rivalry of competition – competition may facilitate or inhibit the emergenceof new industries. The shortage of timber supplies and scramble for newforestry resources is a good thing for economies such as uMuziwabantu.This makes it because of easy access to markets and available support andpartnerships from established forestry companies such as Mondi, SAPPI, NCTand Hans Merensky. Government Action – by developing appropriate support strategies forindustry to invest in depressed local economies such as uMuziwabantu newbusinesses can emerge. Through incentives, appropriate by-laws and othersupport mechanisms government can play a positive or negative role inattracting new investments and the expansion of existing ones.Tourism34 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012Ugu family of municipalities have successfully established a tourism entity which isresponsible for the promotion of Tourism in the entire district. Already, theassociation is in a process of establishing a tourism office in the area ofUmuziwabantu and has already established a tourism areal committee.2.4 BASIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTThe level and quality of a country‟s infrastructure is the backbone of economy anddetermines the extent to which external investors may choose the country as aninvestment destination.2.4.1 Roads and Storm water drainageThe Umuziwabantu municipality is responsible for the construction, maintenance andupgrading of access roads within the area of jurisdiction. There are two primaryroads that form the spine of Umuziwabantu roads network that is the N2 whichconnects this municipality with Ezinqoleni and Port Shepstone on the east and theEastern Cape on the south west and R56 which connects to N2.The condition of Harding roads is very poor. Most of them need to be re-done;patching them can only be a temporary measure. Historically, there are only tworoads which were properly constructed: Hawkins (Bizana) and Murchison streets.The rest of the roads were gravel roads which were covered with the black top to35 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012reduce dust. Given the significant increase of traffic in the last 10 years and the lackof proper maintenance, this black top has deteriorated to an extent that in someroads there is more of gravel surface than tar. As a result the town is dusty andunpleasant to drive in.During the last three years, the municipality has dedicated more than R20m to theupgrade Harding Roads. This excludes the R15m investment made by the provincialgovernment as part of the Small Town Rehabilitation program which is currentlybeing implemented. The current reconstruction of these roads is taking into accountthe current and future volumes of traffic.The state of the rural road network remains a concern as most of the communitiesare inaccessibility due to poor conditions of and lack of maintenance of these accessroads.The municipality, while noting that there are a few areas without access to wellmaintained access roads, acknowledges that most areas in Umuziwabantu haveaccess roads, and that the priority of building new roads must be balanced againstthat of maintaining the existing ones. A prioritized achievement in the short term willbe the drafting and adoption of a Municipal Road Network Maintenance Plan. Incontrast to maintenance programme, which utilizes external contractors and amachinery-oriented approach, the Municipal Road Maintenance Plan for access roadsseeks to address issues of unemployment and lack of skills through principles ofExtended Public Works Programme (EPWP).Maintenance of the storm water drainage network in town needs to be attended towith urgency. Silt, gravel and refuse regularly clog up the culverts, resulting inponding of storm water on roads. This flooding contributes a lot in the filth of thetown. As part of the roads upgrade, the municipality is redesigning andreconstructing the drainage system of the roads being upgraded.Infrastructure Master Plan36 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012The municipality funded by the DBSA and provincial COGTA has commissioned aninfrastructure master plan for the town. This will improve the future planning andinform the future infrastructural investment.2.4.2 ElectricityThere are two authorities licensed to supply electricity at Umuziwabantu, that is, themunicipality and ESKOM. The former is only responsible for the town and the latterfor the entire area, which is mainly rural. It could be estimated that the portioncovered by the municipality is about one percent (1%) of the total area.However, it is now known that in the near future Regional Electricity Distributors(REDs) will take over the function of distributing electricity from the two authorities.This means that by the end of the five year term of the current national andprovincial governments, the municipality and ESKOM will not be the distributors ofelectricity. Although the national government has made a commitment tomunicipalities that they will not be worse off financially as a result of the removal ofthis income generating function, it has not yet been clarified how this will beavoided.About 98 % of households in town have access to electricity with thebalance being the informal settlement next to the low cost housing.ENERGY FOR LIGHTINGKZN Ugu UmuziwabantuElectricity 71.5 68.2 78.2Gas 0.2 0.2 0Paraffin 2.6 2.6 0.9Candles 24.5 24.5 19.5Solar 0.5 0.5 0.2COMMUNITY SURVEY 2007The 2007 community survey conducted by STATSSA, as shown above, estimatedthat 78.2% households of Umuziwabantu have electricity, at least for lighting with19.5% still using candles. The percentage of people using electricity is 10% and 7%37 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012above the district and provincial accessibility level, respectively. The backlog ofabout 21.8% and the pace at which ESKOM has been extending the network,Umuziwabantu is one of the municipalities where it is possible to meet the 2014target of the universal access to electricity. The national target for electrifying allhouseholds in South Africa has been extended from 2012 to 2014.Currently, thereare two main electricity projects to be implemented in the 2010-2011 financial year.These are KwaMbotho and KwaJali projects with a total budget of R20.8m.In terms of the capacity of substations, ESKOM confirms that the existing capacity isenough to carry 100% connection of households. This puts Umuziwabantu on anadvantage as connections do not require upgrading of transformers, which is usuallya delaying factor.Alternative Source of EnergyUmuziwabantu and TPE energies (Cape Town) are piloting a wind power generatedenergy coordinated by District in municipalities with higher altitudes or favourabletopography. Three sites have been earmarked, that include the IngeleMountain nearand facing Ingeli Forest Lodge, a hilltop in Ward 9 and a site near fontein sportground as potential sites. This alternative source of energy will correlate to creatingjob opportunities and also to increase current revenue generated by themunicipality. The municipality has started engaging Department of Energy andEskom to discuss licensing and programme of action.Free Basic ElectricityMore than five thousand households are receiving the first 50kw of electricity free onmonthly basis. This is part of the municipal indigent support on basic services.2.4.3 Water supply38 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012In terms of delegated powers and functions, the function of water and sanitationservice delivery rests with UguDistrictMunicipality. As Water Service Authority(WSA), UGU DM is responsible for ensuring water and sanitation access, planning ofprojects, regulation of projects, and overseeing water provision. As Water ServiceProvider (WSP), UGU DM is responsible for providing water and sanitation services,both effectively and efficiently, maintaining customer relations, and billing.Although water provision is in the UGU DM competency, planning of projects is donejointly with local municipalities and budgeted for by the district.Based on the statusquo, all urban residents have water in their houses or within the RDP standards incase of Kwamazakhele where residents get their water from the public waterstandpipes.Access to water remains a challenge for rural communities; this is shownby huge backlog of lack of access to basic services. The table below is extractedfrom the Ugu‟ WSDP and it shows estimated backlog per tribal authority.AreaEstimated Population with Estimated Population with aAdequate Water Services Backlog of Water ServicesBashaweni 982 0KwaMachi/Isibonda 22867 27879KwaFodo 5496 3023KwaMmbotho 5030 2552KwaJali/Nhlangano i 8069 6230Dumisa/Thokozani 0 1838TOTAL42444 41522The same document estimates that an amount of R 73,055,000.00is needed to dealwith the existing backlog by 2009.

In many communities people still walk longdistances to fetch water from the stand pipe or unsafe source.Partially working water systems: this problem is mainly experienced inrural areas where because of low pressure, it is said, certain areas end uphaving no water.More resources needed for temporary water supply methodssystems: this refers to spring protection, borehole and water tanks2.4.4 Sanitation servicesMany households in Harding town are using septic tanks and conservancytanks with MazakheleTownship using the VIP system, a very inappropriatesystem in an urban setting. These systems are not the best for both the usersand the environment, full waterborne system is required to ensure sustainableand environmentally healthy development. A big problem with conservancytanks are sewage overflows. It is not uncommon to have sewage overflowsinto the storm water drainage, more especially during the rainy seasons.The WSDP estimates that an amount of R 26,625,000 is needed for Harding tobe on waterborne system excluding Greenfields and Mazakhele projects whichare treated as separate projects. If included the costs moves up to + R58million. This project, of converting into a waterborne system in town hascommenced and is anticipated to take three years.The table below shows an estimated backlog in rural areas.

This means that Ugu, the DoH and Umuziwabantu shouldwork closely to ensure that there is no duplication of the same service. Infact, if this is well coordinated, the estimated time to do away with thebacklog will be shortened and costs estimated by the district reducedsignificantly.2.4.5 HousingLike in many rural areas most houses in rural areas of Umuziwabantu are mudhouses and they have a low resistance and easily collapse during storms.KwaJali and KwaMachi are areas which are susceptible to storms. In 2007alone, more than 70 houses collapsed during the storms leaving casualties andat one fatality one.As far as subsidized housing projects are concerned, there are both urban andrural housing projects. The table here below indicates the housing projectsalready approved by the Department of Housing. The majority of these housesare to be built in rural areas. By the end of 2009 all 8128 houses should havebeen completed.In rural projects, no rural scheme project is underway pending the allocationand plan from Department of Housing.

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012CHAPTER THREE3 FINANCIAL VIABILITYThis KPA is concerned with the municipality‟s ability to manage its financial resourcesin sustainable manner. There are few indicators which point at whether themunicipality is viable or not. This section is analyzed using the latest auditedfinancial statements (2008-2009) and the approved budget (2009-2010).3.1 Sources of IncomeHere below is a split between grants and internally generated funding for themunicipal budget(2009-2010)43 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012 The cash coverage ratio appears to be reasonable over the 3 financial yearsand indicates that cash on hand is being effectively used.3.2.1.3 Liquidity RatioThis ratio indicates the extent to which current assets can be used to cover shortterm liabilities. This ratio is good for Umuziwabantu as it was 2.06 for 2008-2009All ratios which are used to test the viability of the municipality show an excellentperformance by the municipality. Like in many municipalities the key challenge is theincreasing debtors.3.2.2 Auditor General’s reports2004/05 2005/06 2006/07 2007/2008 2008/2009 2009/2010Qualified Qualified Qualified Unqualified Unqualified UnqualifiedThe above table shows the history of the municipality‟s financial statementsreliability. There has been a positive change since 2007. The national target set bythe national government is for all municipalities to have clean audit by 2014. Thehuman resources available at the disposal of the municipality suggest that thenational target is attainable.3.3 FINANCIAL PLANIntroductionUmuziwabantu Municipality has recognised that in order to be successful, the Budget andthe IDP Process must be linked. The purpose of this section in the IDP document is to createa medium and long term strategic financial framework for allocation of resources and toensure financial viability and sustainability of municipality. The financial Plan is an integralcomponent of the IDP as it addresses:oEstablishment of Financial management Systems45 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012ooProvision of resources over a 3-5 year planning periodThe balancing of the factor relating to income with objectives established during theIDP Process.The Budget Format and content for the MTEF period 2008/09 to 2010/13 was informed bycircular 28 of the MFMA. Budget assumptions were informed by circular 41 where expensesare increased with an average of 6% and salaries with 8.5%. The same assumptions will beapplied in the determination of tariffs when applicable and required.All Departments within the Municipality were involved in the Budget discussions thatresulted in this multi-year Budget. The focus was on key service delivery challenges withinthe municipal area and municipal administration whilst acknowledging the political contextand its associated financial implications and priorities of the council. Challenges such asovertime, acting allowances, temporary workers, leave provision, infrastructure maintenancebudget, and repairs were considered.The budget was submitted to the Finance Portfolio committee for consideration andassessment and the draft budget as tabled before council for noting.Grant dependency remains the biggest problem of the municipality and due to the economicprofile of local citizens. In terms of credit control policy, Free Basic services are provided tothe indigent to ensure that unemployment has a minimum effect to the standard of livingand payment levels.3.3.2 Return on InvestmentsThis is a ratio of gained or lost (realized or unrealized) on an investment relative to theamount of money invested. The amount of money gained or lost may be referred to asinterest, profit/loss, gain/loss, or net income/loss. The money invested may be referred toas the asset, capital, principal, or the cost basis of the investment. ROI is usually expressedas a percentage rather than a fraction. Municipalities are encouraged to invest in order togain profits. The municipality has reviewed its investment policy to optimal maximize itspotential to make more profits in order to increase their service delivery.3.3.3 Expenditure and Income46 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012CHAPTER SEVEN7.1 SECTOR INVOLVEMENT7.1.2 IntroductionThe intent of this section is to clearly outline how other spheres of government are positioned to render support to theUmuziwabantu to achieve developmental objectives and goals contained in the IDP and other strategic tools. This is alsoemphasized by the White Paper on Intergovernmental Relations which is aimed to forge partnerships between government,parastatals, NGOs and CBOs communities in the service delivery of integrated services. It does appear though, some departmentlike Department of Transport are still missing in the equation in terms of participation. However other Departments like SocialDevelopment and Welfare, Home Affairs, SAPS, SASSA and Department of Health and Education were very active and passionatewith the integrated development approach to address problems at Umuziwabantu.7.1.3 Strategic Objectives1.

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/20129.1.1 UMUZIWABANTUMUNICIPALITY SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK REVIEW09/10 SUMMARY1. INTRODUCTIONThe Spatial Development Framework (SDF) is an integral part of a Municipality’s IDP(Chapter 5 of the Municipal Systems Act 32, 0f 2000) and should reflect the culmination ofthe other elements of the IDP, guided by those development informants, strategies anddevelopment actions, which have a spatial implication. Based on the developmentstrategies identified in the UmuziwabantuMunicipality’s IDP, the Spatial DevelopmentFramework has taken into account the subsequent critical areas to be developed spatially.• Agricultural Development in the form of :a) enhancing commercial agriculture and promotion of subsistencefarming by providing access to land (StateOwnedLand leaseextension and Land reform) andb) promotion of cooperatives (Training and Mentoring).• Environmental Management or promotion of sustainable tourism and Agriculture;and• Nodal Economic Development.1.1 AIMS OF THE UMUZIWABANTU SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKAmongst others the aims of this SDF are:• To promote sustainable functional and integrated settlement patterns• To maximise resources efficiency;• To enhance regional identity and unique character of place.• To ensure conformance with the neighbouring local, district’s and provincial spatialdevelopment frameworks.141 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/20122. THE LINK BETWEEN SPATIAL PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENTIt is important to note that the IDP’s Spatial Development Framework is intended to formthe basis for the Land Use Management System for the municipal area, Land UseManagement System referring in this instance to i) the control of development and ii) thefacilitation of development. These two aspects place different requirements on the SpatialDevelopment Framework-on the one hand it must be detailed enough to guide theimplementation of land use rights (by means of Planning Schemes), while on the otherhand it must identify measures to stimulate development.3. UMUZIWABANTU SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK3.1 The Development Informant MapsThe development informant maps are a series of maps, which indicates the spatial trendsand diverse issues of the municipality. The following list of maps has been prepared toform the base for this SDF review.Map 1: Landscapes – Topography in relation to IndigenousForests, Rivers and RoadsMap 2:Significant Landscapes and BiodiversityMap 3:Agricultural PotentialMap 4:Land CoverMap 5: Social InfrastructureMap 6: Land Use Management Enabling FrameworkMap 7:Umuziwabantu SDF 2001Based on this set of maps, the following key broad spatial trends and issues have beenidentified.142 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/20123.2 Movement CorridorsThe Movement Corridors linking the primary nodes, secondary nodes, and rural servicenodes were proposed as follows:• Primary Corridor:• Secondary Corridor:• Tertiary Corridors:a) Primary CorridorsThe primary movement corridor at Umuziwabantu is the N2 which connects thismunicipality with Port Shepstone to the east and Kokstad to the west which are theeconomic hubs in the region.b) Secondary CorridorsP59 is a secondary corridor and also provides linkages to Bizana town. P417 is alsoa secondary corridor connecting Harding to UmzimkhuluMunicipality where thecommunity of Gugwini enjoys a short cut to Harding. P61 which is a loop roadfrom the N2 linking Kwezi and Weza are secondary corridors and mainly serve aspublic transport routes and economic routes for timber. P238 linking with theHarding/ Bizana road (P59) from Kwezi is also a secondary corridor identified.These routes are important linkages with the surrounding municipalities andregular maintenance of these roads and widening is essential as they are used aspublic transport corridors.c) Tertiary CorridorsD250 (to KwaFodo Road), D165 (Kwambotho Road), P 327 (Seaview Road), P 58(KwaMachi Road) are tertiary corridors that provide vital linkages to service satellites inthe municipality and ensure connectivity with service delivery at Rural Service Nodesidentified.143 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/20123.3 NodesThe Settlement Hierarchy proposed for the municipal area is as follows:• Primary Node - Administrative and Economic Centre• Secondary Nodes – Distribution Point• Rural Service Nodes - Delivery of Supplementary Services:a) Primary NodeThe primary node for Umuziwabantu is Harding since it is the main centre forgovernment offices, trade, manufacturing and employment opportunities. Therefore, itis paramount that Harding be supported and strengthened to ensure its sustainabilityover the long term, thereby protecting the investment that supports the wholemunicipal area. Different kind of land uses encompassing various kinds of trade, socialservices, transportation and residential infill should be encouraged at this node.(Source: Umuziwabantu Enabling Land Management Framework, 2005)The accessibility of the Harding area must be maximized not only for the land reformbeneficiaries but for all the municipality’s inhabitants since Harding is the main point forboth first order and second order goods within the municipality. Therefore there is anneed for a Master Plan to be developed for the HardingTown.b) Secondary NodeThe secondary node is at KwaMbonwa within the greater Ikwezi area, this area is whererapid densification is taking place. The secondary node is also located at the junction ofP61, the secondary transportation corridor from Weza to the N2 and Harding and theP238 linking with the Harding/ Bizana road (P59).c) Rural Service NodeThe location of these nodes is usually the most accessible location within an acceptablewalking distance of a particular community.Thesewere identified in Salem, Weza,Hlangano, KwaFodo, Bashaweni and KwaMachi.144 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/20123.3 LAND USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANGEMENTa) Areas of Conservation Significance / Adventure and Eco TourismAreas of Conservation Significance consist of both private and communal land which haveimportant water and nature conservation values, but do not enjoy formal legal protection.These areas contain natural communities of high nature-conservation value, and alsoimportant grazing resources which occupy virtually the entire zone.The intrinsic bio-diversity value of eco-systems and natural habitats on agriculturalfarmlands provide the basis for eco-tourism diversification and sustainable farmingpractices, thus activities need to be carefully planned in order to integrate with theenvironmental attributes and minimize any negative impactsThis area provides and opportunity for :• Recreation,• Conservation of biodiversity• A tourism attraction node (at Ingeli forests with the trails as the attraction).b) Commercial Agriculture and Eco TourismWell managed agriculture occurs almost throughout the municipality. Future developmentof the municipality should seek to preserve the agricultural land in the area, develop itsspecific potentials and provide for diversification e.g. tourism. In the course of diversifyingto tourism conservation efforts should be applied utilising protection mechanisms such asbio-sphere reserves. Diversification in terms of agricultural production needs to beexplored as the area has potential for wheat, Honeybee production and sugarcane.The major potential within the municipality is timber which covers approximately34000ha in plantations and this need to be preserved in the form of proper environmentalmanagement and disaster management (fire fighting units).c) Substance Agriculture and Eco TourismThis type of farming is a characteristic of the traditional areas. Much of the tribal areasare not cultivated mainly for economic reasons such as deep poverty. The smallsubsistence cultivated plots that are cultivated are often established in unsuitable areas,145 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012the slope is either too steep, the soils are highly eroded or vulnerable seeps or wetlandsare planted up. Subsistence farming within these areas includes livestock raising,Dryland cropping and homestead gardening. Inland, the density of housing is reducedand grazing land is more available for livestock. While livestock keeping is not primarilyfor commercial purposes, livestock do not play a major role in rural communities.There is a need to extend or develop lease agreements with small farmers onstate owned land so they can be productive in order to fight poverty (e.g.Gundriftarea).Cooperatives need to formulated to achieve this and proper training andmentoring need to be undertaken to ensure sustainability of this initiative.d) Land ReformUmuziwabantu has 4 prioritised restitution claims that are lodged with the land claimscommission m5 PLRO projects have been transferred.There are no labour tenants’applications.Restitution ClaimsUmuziwabantuProject NameMachi CommunityBombo CommunityMbotho CommunityKwa-FodoProperty DescriptionGundrift, Umtamvuna Drift, WartleRavenhill, Brookside, HawardenKeitdale and Moville FarmsBedford Farm146 | P a g e

CONCLUSIONThe Umuziwabantu Spatial Development Framework (SDF) provides a broad indication ofwhere different types of development should take place within the municipal area. Assuch it provides general direction to guide decision-making (and thereby contributetowards the creation of integrated and habitable towns and residential areas), aframework for the review of land use management system for the municipal area and aframework for public and private sector investment.147 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012This is a broad desktop SDF review 2010/11 for UmuziwabantuMunicipality and in the2011/2012review, there is a need for a detailed SDF and Strategic EnvironmentalAssessment (SEA) to be prepared which will include:Review and identify the desired Spatial Patterns (Long term vision)Identification of Spatial intervention areas (Short to medium vision)Identification of key strategic intervention areas.Layout Plan for all nodes and urban renewal plans for each node.This will enable the municipality to: Create a more efficient urban form by:- densifiying existing urban nodes in appropriate locations- strengthening secondary service centres- identifying and implementing development corridors promote more flexible land use mix strengthening secondary service centres ensure a more efficient use of infrastructure give preference to those land uses that will assist in achieving the Municipality’sVision and particularly the local economic development and environmentalobjectives create an environment conducive to investors and small entrepreneurs optimize the inherent tourism and recreation potential of the area148 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012CHAPTER TEN10.1 PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSPerformance Management is a process which measures the implementation of theorganisation‟s strategy. At Local Government level this has become an imperative,with economic development, transformation, governance, finance and servicedelivery being the critical elements in terms of Local Government Strategy.Performance Management provides the mechanism to measure whether targets tomeet its strategic goals, set by the organisation and its employees, are met. NationalGovernment has also found it necessary to institutionalize and provide legislation onthe Performance Management Process for Local Government.The Municipal Systems Act (MSA), 2000 requires municipalities to establish aperformance management system. Further, the MSA and the Municipal FinanceManagement Act (MFMA) requires the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) to bealigned to the municipal budget and to be monitored for the performance of thebudget against the IDP via the Service Delivery and the Budget Implementation Plan(SDBIP).In addition, Regulation 7 (1) of the Local Government: Municipal Planning andPerformance Management Regulations, 2001 states that “A Municipality‟sPerformance Management System entails a framework that describes and representshow the municipality‟s cycle and processes of performance planning, monitoring,measurement, review, reporting and improvement will be conducted, organised andmanaged, including determining the roles of the different role players.”Performance Management, therefore, is not only relevant to the organisation as awhole, but also to the Individuals employed in the organization as well as theExternal Service Providers and the Municipal Entities. Given this background, it isimportant that a framework for Performance Management be established,153 | P a g e

UMUZIWABANTU REVIEWED INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN2011/20122011/2012implemented and monitored. This framework therefore describes how themunicipality‟s performance process, for the organisation as a whole will beconducted, organised and managed.How will performance progress be measuredThe Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations stipulate that amunicipality‟s Organizational Performance Management System (OPMS) must entaila framework that sets out how the municipality‟s cycle and processes ofperformance planning, monitoring, measurement, review, reporting andimprovement will be conducted, organized and managed, including determining theroles of the different role players.In line with the said legal requirement, this framework should be seen as a policydocument that sets out: The requirements that the Umuziwabantu Municipality‟s OPMS will need tofulfill; The principles that must inform its development and subsequentimplementation; The preferred performance management model of the municipality; The process by which the system will work; The delegation of responsibilities for different roles in the process; and A plan for the implementation of the systemThe Municipality will develop a performance management system which will be usedto monitor and measure progress on municipal performance in terms of servicedelivery as per adopted programmes and projects in the IDP. The performancemanagement system will be linked to the Municipal IDP and budget to ensure thatwhatever the municipality is doing articulates the municipality‟s vision, objectivesand community aspirations. The performance of the municipality will be reviewedquarterly and corrective measures be implemented where necessary.154 | P a g e
