2021 marks the end of our five (5) year term as the

political leadership of Amathole District Municipality

which requires us to account to you as our valuable

stakeholders the strides made in addressing service

delivery backlogs since we took to office in 2016. This

service delivery milestones booklet incorporates our

grant spending patterns which have resulted in the

implementation of a number of projects across the

district some of which are still ongoing. Our country

and the global community at large is faced with a

health pandemic and other related socio-economic

challenges. Ofcourse, challenges which comes with

this new normal are plenty but we remain confident

that we can overcome. Ours is not to despair but to

employ measurers to mitigate against the impact

whilst attending to the needs of our communities on

the ground.

Against the persistent drought and related challenges,

we have strived to use all resources at our disposal

to bring services closer to our people, especially

those who stay in the periphery of our rural district.

We remain committed to work tirelessly through innovative

and creative ways to ensure our infrastructure

meet the required standards. The municipality is

at an advanced stage of implementing projects that

will provide new infrastructure, rehabilitation and

upgrading of existing ones, as well as improve water

management infrastructure.

Since 2016/17 financial year to date, 12 888 households

have been provided with basic level of water

supply and 75 091 households with basic level of

sanitation across the District. More than 10 900 work

opportunities were created during the implementation

of both water and sanitation projects. As part of

our commitment to restore dignity of our people, we

vowed to make bucket system a thing of the past in

this district. As such 874 bucket systems have been

eradicated in Raymond Mhlaba and Great Kei.

With the Department of Water and Sanitation finally

approving a budget of R725 million for the implementation

of Ngqamakhwe Regional Water Supply

Scheme which entails the construction of bulk water

supply from Tsomo to Ngqamakhwe, we are certain

that once all phases of this Scheme are completed,

water will be provided to approximately 78,534

people in the Ngqamakwe rural supply, 49,325 people

for the Cluster 8 area within CHDM and 44,040

people within the Butterworth urban supply area. Under

Mbhashe Local Municipality, Xhora water Supply

Scheme is under construction, completed to date is

the dam and Water Treatment works. Once the entire

project is complete it will serve approximately 133

rural villages with a population of about 66,900 in

8,082 households.

Indeed the new normal has presented challenges in

the traditional way that we interact with our communities,

in that the lockdown regulations prevented us

from convening face-to-face gatherings. However,

we are happy with how the people of Amathole have

responded to various digital platforms such as our

community radio stations and various social media

platforms. These efforts have enabled a wider reach

of citizens and our stakeholders. We want to encourage

and thank our communities and stakeholders for

their active participation in the affairs of the municipality.

Together, we have developed strategic documents

that have potential to stand the test of time when it

comes to changing the lives of our people for the better.

These include:

•Vision 2058: Building a Smart District with its clear

Catalytic Projects

•The Municipal Turnaround Strategy

•Economic Growth and Development Strategy and its

Sector Plans.

•I must also mention the successful hosting of the

District-Wide Water Indaba, District-Wide Economic

Growth and Development Summit and the Post COVID

19 Economic Stimulus.

local government that is responsive, accountable,

effective and efficient in serving the people of Amathole.

Hence in the year 2021/2022, we will spend

R590 million on Capital Projects focused on Water

and Sanitation throughout the district. We are confident

that through these and other projects and programmes,

we will succeed in playing our role to create

a better life for the people of the district.

All of what we have achieved and that which we will

still achieve and count amongst our legacy would not

have been possible without the support of our strategic

partners and our communities at large. For this I

want to thank all of them and plead for more support,

collaborations and cooperation. I also want to thank

the entire Council of ADM together with leadership of

our local municipalities for the commitment and for

never failing to provide strategic leadership even under

difficult periods. Lastly, let me extend a word of

gratitude to the administration as led by the Municipal

Manger, for their outstanding work in the execution

of the mandate bestowed upon us.

Thank You.

Cllr. K.C. Maneli

All these achievements, were efforts aimed at fulfilling

Summary

By

Manager

The service delivery milestones booklet provides an

opportunity to account on the path that has been

traversed by Council in the past five years.

The Local Government sphere is in its last cycle for

the current term of Municipal Councils with the

upcoming local government elections which will

usher in the 6th term.

During this current term, Amathole District

Municipality has set a strong foundation of its long

term plan of Envisioning an Amathole Smart District

towards 2058, known as “Vision 2058: Building

a Smart District”. One of the key enablers towards

2058 is building Strategic Partnerships which share

in our vision and can contribute to its realization.

ADM has forged partnerships with the ECDC, Municipal

Infrastructure Support Agency, GIZ through the

Governance Support Programme II and the University

of Fort Hare in this regard. Further to these engagements

with Infrastructure South Africa have been undertaken.

A critical milestone has been the development and

implementation of the Municipal Turnaround

Strategy (MTAS) to “Bring ADM Back to its Former

Glory” since 2018, following the development of a

Diagnostic Report together with the Municipal Infrastructure

Agency (MISA). ADM has made a footprint

in all pillars of the MTAS Framework, however the Organisation

Development and Design has been slow in

the attainment of the targets against the timeframe

set. In the year under review there has been acceleration

towards the development of Job Descriptions and

Job evaluation process. The next phase of migration

into the staff establishment will be the focus area. In

addition, ADM will explore various funding options of

the Mutual Separation Agreement as means to cut the

Cost of Employment.

Amathole District Municipality continues to render

services in the provision of water and sanitation services

as both a Water Services Authority (WSA) and

a Water Service Provider (WSP), which are functions

assigned for us to implement without fail. Drought in

the district is still upon us and therefore continuous

effects are made to lobby funding for the Sustainable

Water Solution and addressing the refurbishment of

the aging infrastructure. Through the various grants

such as Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG)

and Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG), ADM continues

to address infrastructure backlogs especially

in the Eastern Region of the District.

COVID-19 Pandemic has put water and sanitation

provision in the spotlight. Some of the solutions

being implemented are as per the outcomes of the

Water and Sanitation Indaba held in 2019. There has

been temporary solution such as water carting and

allocation of water tanks in strategic locations to ensure

accessibility of this scarce resource to ADM’s

communities. Further to this there has been drilling

of boreholes as part of exploring the underground

water sources. In the long term, the development of

the Aqua/Solar Hybrid Sea Water Desalination Plant is

the sustainable water solution for the entire District

including the construction of the Fox Wood Dam in

Raymond Mhlaba.

The 2020 Institutional Strategic Planning Session

held in February 2021 in close cooperation with our

six local municipalities and our strategic stakeholders

provided an account of the path that have been

traversed by the institution during this current term

and to develop a clear plan for the next financial year,

looking towards the 6th Term of Local Government.

ADM Council has been faced with many challenges

ranging from financial constraints, service delivery

protests and labour unrests. Further to this, the

COVID-19 Pandemic has forced the Municipality to

think outside the box and be innovative and creative

in service delivery. To ensure business continuity and

communication internally and externally Information

and Communication Technology became the key enabler.

In fulfilment of its responsibilities, ADM’s Institutional

Strategic Planning Session resolved that the 2021/22

Strategic Focus areas as the:

•2021 Service Delivery Outreach Programme

•Satellite Office Outreach Programme

•Initiation of Labour Relations Act Section 189

discussion

•Streamlining ADM Service Delivery model to two

options

7

•Capacity Assessment of Local Municipalities for the

devolving of Fire Services function for their

implementation

•Capacity Assessment and devolving of Regional

Waste disposal sites to Mnquma Local Municipality

•Supporting the Section 139 (5) (a) Eastern Cape

Provincial Government intervention and Section 154

requested from National and Provincial Government

•Communication and Marketing of ADM and ASPIRE

Programmes

Further to this, the following focus areas still remain

matters of emphasis, namely:

•Effective Satellite Office Model

•Building ADM as a Smart District

•Resource Mobilisation

•Service Delivery and Infrastructure Investment

•Organisational Development and Re-design

•Implementation of Financial Recovery Plan

•Revenue Enhancement

•Focus on Core functions

•Planning, ICT, Communication and Financial Systems

•Stakeholder Relations and Public Participation

Amathole District Municipality has welcomed the

Eastern Cape Provincial Government invoking of Section

139 5(a) into Amathole District Municipality and

Council has further resolved to officially request support

from National and Provincial Government in line

with the 154 of the Constitution. As ADM, we view this

intervention as strengthening of the Municipal Turnaround

Strategy.

While the National Treasury is developing the Mandatory

Financial Recovery Plan to be implemented

by Amathole District Municipality, ADM continues to

implement its Voluntary Financial Recovery Plan as

a move towards a financially sustainable institution.

More than ever before, the impact of COVID-19

pandemic resulted in the development of the Post

COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan as part of creating

a conducive environment to diversify the District’s

economy thus contributing to various Revenue

Enhancement sources and mechanisms.

ADM’s Development Agency, ASPIRE, will continue

to be the driving machinery of the District catalytic

and strategic projects. This is part of strides of Envisioning

an Amathole Smart District towards 2058 informed

by the opportunities presented by the Fourth

Industrial Revolution (4IR) of Smart Solutions in providing

service delivery in an efficient, economical and

effective manner to the communities of Amathole

District Municipality.

Going into the next term of administration, ADM will

continue to make strides in the alignment of Vision

2058, Municipal Turnaround Strategy and the District

Development Model by utilizing the IDP as its implementing

tool.

Indeed, the past four years has not been an easy journey,

it had its ups and downs, successes and failures

but the interface between Political and Administrative

leadership is the anchor of “Bringing ADM Back

to its Former Glory”.

and UN 17 Sustainable Development

Goals; aimed at socio-economic upliftment

of the District, its local

Municipalities and communities.

Fostering stakeholder support and cooperation

is key to achieving “Vision

Conclusion

South Africa‘s Constitution provides that, one of the

objectives of local government is to “provide a

democratic and accountable government for local

communities”.

This booklet presents an opportunity to account for

the public purse entrusted to the municipality to

accelerate service delivery to all our communities.

The amount of work we have put in the past financial

years is testimony to our commitment to serve our

communities and ensure provision of selfless, excellent

and sustainable services to all whilst creating a

favorable environment for local economic development.

commitment and for never failing to provide strategic

leadership even under difficult periods.

Amid unprecedented times presented by the global

coronavirus pandemic, I urge all of you to be alert,

observe all Covid-19 protocols and

ADM Executive Mayor:

Cllr Khanyile Maneli

All of what we have achieved and that which we will

still achieve and count amongst our legacy would not

have been possible without the support of our strategic

partners and our communities at large. For this I

want to thank all of them and plead for more support,

collaborations and cooperation in the strides we

continue to make in pursuance of our vision 2058 – of

building a smart district.

52

I also want to thank the entire Council of ADM together

with leadership of our local municipalities for the
