A complete guide to the municipalities in South Africa
second edition
foreword message from the publisher We are proud to publish the second edition of The Local Government Handbook: South Africa. This edition follows the successful completion, during 2011, of the fourth democratic Local Government elections in South Africa and offers vastly updated information from last year. In this second edition, we have also added a number of additional information fields to the directory, primarily dealing with economic data as well as key information regarding Local Economic Development initiatives, programmes and opportunities. We aim to keep expanding this information in future editions to provide an increasingly valuable overview of the economic-status as well as developments and opportunities in municipal areas across South Africa.
foreword
In order for local government and economies to be truly successful we have to embrace the idea that only through co-operation and collaboration between stakeholders in each area will we exploit and develop the resources of the area to the benefit of all. There is no single solution to the challenges faced or opportunities enjoyed by each community. In each area, municipalities, together with business and civil society, must identify their unique opportunities and strategic advantages as the basis for their development strategy. In keeping with this philosophy, and in a departure from before, we have opened the Handbook to participation by commercial advertisers and other government and civil society stakeholders. We believe the addition of these messages provides a new dimension of information regarding initiatives and available services in the local government sphere. The main purpose of The Local Government Handbook remains to provide a complete, yet concise overview of all municipalities in South Africa. With 278 municipalities and numerous demarcation, name and other changes over the years it can be bewildering to anyone not closely associated with local government to form a clear picture of how the local government layer of South Africa fits together. We hope that this publication will provide a clearer understanding of each municipality and its place in South Africa, as well as providing a useful directory of the important office bearers in each municipality.
DEOn MuLLEr
Methodology and Acknowledgements It must be recognised that the type of information contained in this handbook and directory changes rapidly. The information contained in the directory pages was provided to us by municipalities during an extensive survey conducted between July and October 2011. The information contained in the municipal profile pages was provided to us by the municipalities concerned during the same period. We have taken every care to present the information as received, as well as to cross-reference the information where possible. It is, however, inevitable that some of the information will be or become outdated during the currency of the publication. We would like to express thanks to the Department: Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) for providing invaluable source material and information. In particular, any directory information that could not be successfully collected by survey from municipalities was sourced from the Local Government Directory, made available by the GCIS and available at www.gcis.gov.za/gcis/pdf/localgovernment.pdf. We also made extensive use of the South Africa Yearbook 2010/11, published by the GCIS, in compiling the overview and introductory information. We would also like to thank the GIS/IT department at the Municipal Demarcation Board for the source material of all the maps contained in this publication.

SALGA has a clear constitutional mandate to: • Represent and lobby on behalf of Local Government; • Advise and support Local Government; • Act as an employer body for Local Government; • Strategically profile Local Government; SALGA represents its member municipalities in Parliament and the National Council of Provinces, where SALGA has ten permanent seats. On the international front, the strategic objective of profiling the image of SALGA and Local Government continues apace and SALGA’s role in building the capacity of sister organizations on the African continent is appreciated and acknowledged. The extent of SALGA’s influence can be witnessed through the formal conclusion of memoranda of understanding with several African organized Local Government bodies.
Structure SALGA has structured itself in such a manner that it is able to advise and support municipalities in the drive to deliver on services to communities. SALGA’s structure allows it to work with municipalities on all functional areas. SALGA’s national office is based in Pretoria with offices in each of the nine provinces. SALGA has eight directorates that operate effectively in their vast functions namely: The Office of the CEO, Community Development, Finance and Corporate Services, Governance, Intergovernmental Relations and International Relations, Municipal Infrastructure and Services, Municipal Institutional Development and Strategy, Policy and Research.

South AfricAn LocAL government ASSociAtion
The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) is the sole representative body of the sphere of Local Government. This mandate is derived from the constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the Organised Local Government Act. SALGA was established in 1996, to represent, promote and protect the interest of Local Government; to lobby and advocate on behalf of its member municipalities; to act as a resource for knowledge and information; to develop and support the capacity of municipalities, and to act as the employer body of all 278 municipalities in South Africa. SALGA’s political leadership, the National Executive Committee (NEC), is elected into office during the National Conference, which takes place after Local Government elections. The SALGA NEC is constituted of senior councillors, voted in by political representatives from its member municipalities in South Africa. This year’s Local Government elections saw a new leadership elected into Local Government and in turn the SALGA National Conference gave rise to a new elected National Executive Committee.

Overview of Municipalities in South Africa
In terms of Chapter 7 of the Constitution of South Africa, the local sphere of government in South Africa is made up of municipalities that must be established for the whole of its territory. As such, municipalities form the lowest formal level of democratically elected government in South Africa. A municipality has the right to govern, on its own initiative, the local government affairs of its community, subject to national and provincial legislation, as provided for in the Constitution. The executive and legislative authority of a municipality is vested in its Municipal Council. The objectives of local government are: • To provide democratic and accountable government for local communities; • To ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner; • To promote social and economic development; south africa provincial map

While Chapter 7 of the Constitution provides the foundation for the establishment of municipalities, various Acts of Parliament have further defined these municipal structures since the inception of the current constitution, the most important of these being: • Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act • Municipal Property Rates Act • Municipal Finance Management Act • Municipal Systems Act • Municipal Structures Act • Local Government: Municipal Demarcation Act. There are three kinds of municipalities in South Africa, metropolitan-, district- and local municipalities (also known as Category A, B and C municipalities). Metropolitan municipalities have been established to administer South Africa’s most urbanised areas. Metropolitan municipalities have exclusive municipal executive and legislative authority in their respective areas. There are eight metropolitan municipalities in South Africa: • Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality • City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality • City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality • City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality • Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality • eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality • Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality • Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality. The remainder of South Africa is administered by 44 district municipalities (also known as Category C municipalities). Each district municipality is further subdivided into various smaller local municipalities (also known as Category B municipalities). As an example, the territory administered by the Sedibeng District
Municipality encompasses the EmfuleniLesedi- and Midvaal Local Municipalities. District and local municipalities share legislative and executive authority in respect of their commonly administered areas. District councils are primarily responsible for capacity-building and district-wide planning. In total there are 278 municipalities in South Africa. The political management of municipalities is made up of an elected Municipal Council. The term of a Municipal Council may not be more than five years. The Municipal Council makes decisions on exercising its powers and performing its functions, including electing its office bearers as well as appointing its executive and other committees. The Municipal Council employs the executive management and personnel that are necessary for the effective performance of its functions. Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA)
overview
• To promote a safe and healthy environment; and • To encourage the involvement of communities and community organisations in the matters of local government.
The Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) oversees the implementation of, among other things, the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, the Municipal Property Rates Act, the Municipal Finance Management Act, the Disaster Management Act, the Municipal Systems Act, the Municipal Structures Act, the Municipal Demarcation Act and the White Paper on Local Government (1998). The Department aims to realise various strategic objectives, such as: • A single election for national, provincial and local government; • Halving poverty and unemployment; • Empowering and capacitating organs of people’s power; • Training councillors, traditional leaders, officials, ward committee members, community development workers (CDWs) and community activists; • Achieving clean audits for all provinces and municipalities; • Cleaning cities, through the management of waste in such a way that it creates employment; • Reducing infrastructure backlogs; eliminating service-delivery protests; and
9
reducing municipal debt by half. The Department further aims to build and strengthen the capability and accountability of provinces and municipalities. This includes: • Continued hands-on support through the established system and capacity-building programme, focusing on critical areas such as integrated development planning; • Local economic development (LED), financial management, service delivery and public participation; • Evaluating the impact of government programmes in municipal areas, enhancing performance and accountability by improving the quality of reporting on the Local Government Strategic Agenda (LGSA); and • Improving the monitoring, reporting and evaluation of capacity in local government. The Department is also responsible for coordinating and supporting policy development implementing the LGSA, and monitoring and supporting service delivery.

Applicable Legislation
10
The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act establishes a framework for planning, performance-management systems, effective use of resources and organisational change in a business context. The Act also establishes a system for municipalities to report on their performance, and provides residents with an opportunity to compare this performance with that of other municipalities. It also regulates public-private partnerships. The Act allows municipalities significant powers to corporatise their services, to establish utilities for service delivery, or to enter into partnerships with other service providers. The Act provides for the adoption of a credit-control policy for municipalities that will provide for the termination of services in the event of non-payment. Municipalities have the power to pass by-laws to implement the policy. The Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act is aimed at modernising municipal budgeting and financial management. It facilitates the development of a long-term municipal lending/bond market. It also introduces a governance framework for separate entities created by municipalities. The Act is a critical element in the overall transformation of local government in South Africa. It fosters transparency at local government level through budget and reporting requirements. The Local Government: Municipal
Property Rates Act regulates the power of a municipality to impose property rates, excludes certain properties from rating in the national interest, provides fair and equitable valuation methods of properties, and allows for municipalities to implement a transparent and fair system of exemptions, reductions and rebates through their rating policies. The abovementioned acts as well as other related legislation impacting on local government were reviewed in 2010. The review was aimed at ensuring that the bottlenecks and blockages to speedy and quality service delivery are eliminated. Integrated Development Plans (IDPs)
In terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, all municipalities are required to prepare IDPs. Integrated development planning is a process by which municipalities prepare five-year strategic plans that are reviewed annually in consultation with communities and stakeholders. The aim is to achieve service delivery and development goals in municipal areas in an effective and sustainable way. National and provincial sector departments, development agencies, private-sector bodies, non-governmental organisations and communities all have a key role to play in preparing and implementing IDPs. By March 2009, IDPs were adopted in all provinces. The IDPs and LED strategies of municipalities must reflect the priorities of the entire public sector, including those of public entities and local business. The IDPs will be reviewed to ensure that the criterion, which determine to what extent adopted IDPs are credible or realistic, include critical aspects on LED strategies and planning. Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG)
The MIG, introduced in 2004/05, is the largest infrastructure transfer programme administered by the Department of Cooperative Governance. The MIG funds are distributed to all municipalities based on a formula that accounts for existing backlogs in service delivery as well as the functions assigned to individual municipalities. Spending on the MIG increased from R5,9 billion in 2006/07 to R9,1 billion in 2008/09. Total allocations to municipalities rose from R55 billion in 2009/10 to R78 billion in 2012/13. The Department of Cooperative Governance, together with other stakeholders, including state departments, state-owned entities (SOEs) and professional
bodies, undertook a process to revise and update the Industry Guide 2007 and developed a 2009/10 version. This document, An Industry Guide –Infrastructure Service-Delivery Levels and Unit Costs 2009/10, aims to: • Reflect the broad stakeholder inputs and adoption of infrastructure unit standards and costs; • Address regional/provincial and sectoral/ industry-related cost values, as well as to allow for national impacts such as variance in labour rates, fuel and transport cost, material and other related factors; • Align the associated infrastructure construction costs within the changed market conditions to reflect the escalation since 2007; and • Ensure that infrastructure types such as sport facilities are incorporated into the revised guide document. The overall objective of the guide is to develop a practical nationwide system of guidance for municipalities, their service providers and government in terms of the provision of basic infrastructure service provision cost values that reflect national and regional impacts, and provide comparative value for high-level planning estimates and value for money assessment guidelines. The Industry Guide 2009/10 aims to provide a high-level first-order infrastructure planning cost estimate. The Industry Guide can be used in conjunction with tools such as the Municipal Services Financial Model or the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Model to corroborate planning cost estimates. The next review of the Industry Guide will deal with the capital costing for rehabilitation/ maintenance of infrastructure, which is becoming a major concern within municipalities. Local Government Turnaround Strategy
In December 2009, the South African Cabinet approved a turnaround strategy for local government. This is expected to ensure that local government has the correct management, administrative and technical skills. The strategy has been distilled into a local government 10-point plan, which includes: • Improving the quantity and quality of basic services for all people in terms of water, sanitation, electricity, waste management, roads and disaster management;
Creating possibilites

overview
• Enhancing the municipal contribution to job creation and sustainable livelihoods through Local Economic Development, and utilising cooperatives in every ward; • Deepening democracy through a refined ward committee system that will be based on the will of the people; • Ensuring that municipalities have and implement reliable and credible integrated development plans (IDPs); • Building and strengthening the administrative, institutional and financial capabilities of municipalities; • Creating a single window of coordination, support, monitoring and intervention to deal with uncoordinated interaction by other spheres of government with municipalities, including unfunded mandates; • Rooting out corruption, nepotism and maladministration in the system of local government; • Developing a coherent and cohesive system of governance and a more equitable intergovernmental fiscal system; • Developing and strengthening a stable system of municipalities; and • Restoring the institutional integrity of municipalities. Municipal-specific turnaround strategies and implementation plans will be developed by every municipality in South Africa. All municipalities were expected to have developed their municipal-specific turnaround implementation plans by 2010. Their IDPs and budgets were approved between May and June 2010. The 2010/11 municipal budgets are based on these municipal-specific turnaround strategies. National and provincial government departments and state-owned enterprises are expected to align their projects and programmes to the specific local government turnaround strategies. By September 2010, 95% of municipalities had developed their municipal turnaround strategies and were in the process of aligning them with the IDPs. The Municipal Skills Development Programme
This programme is a public-private partnership that aims to reduce South Africa’s service delivery backlog by injecting skilled graduates and high-level training initiatives directly into local government. The initiative will help local governments to use technology more effectively and efficiently. It is driven jointly by Microsoft South Africa, the South African Local
12
Government Association (SALGA), the Local Government Sector Education Training Authority and the Development Bank of Southern Africa. Local Economic Development (LED)
LED encourages local people to work together to achieve sustainable economic growth and development, thereby bringing economic benefits and improved quality of life for all residents in a local municipal area. As a programme, LED is intended to maximise the economic potential of all municipal localities throughout the country and to enhance the resilience of macroeconomic growth through increased local economic growth, employment creation and development initiatives within the context of sustainable development. The Department of Cooperative Governance’s LED programmes provide support in: • Developing and reviewing national policy, strategy and guidelines on LED; • Providing direct and hands-on support to provincial and local government; • Managing the LED Fund; • Managing and providing technical support to Nodal Economic Development Planning; • Facilitating, coordinating and monitoring donor programmes; and assisting LED capacity-building processes. Municipal Demarcation Board
The Municipal Demarcation Board is an independent authority responsible for the determination of municipal boundaries. The Board’s status as an independent authority is also protected by The Local Government: Municipal Demarcation Act and various judgements by the Constitutional Court. In addition to the determinations and re-determinations of municipal boundaries, the Board is also mandated by legislation to declare the district management areas; to delimit wards for local elections; and to assess the capacity of municipalities to perform their functions. South African Local Government Association (SALGA)
The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) is an autonomous association of municipalities with its mandate derived from the 2006 constitution of the Republic of South Africa. This mandate defines SALGA as the voice and sole representative of local government. SALGA interfaces with parliament, the
National Council of Provinces (NCOP), cabinet as well as provincial legislatures. The association is a unitary body with a membership of 278 municipalities, with its national office based in Pretoria and offices in all nine provinces. In line with its mandate, SALGA has set out its role to: • Represent, promote and protect the interests of local government; • Transform local government to enable it to fulfil its developmental role; • Raise the profile of local government; • Ensure full participation of women in local government; • Perform its role as an employer body; and • Develop capacity within municipalities. Government Communication and Information System (GCIS)
GCIS was established in terms of the Public Service Act and was officially launched in May 1998. The vision of the GCIS is government communication that empowers and encourages citizens to participate in democracy and improve the lives of all. GCIS aims to lead the strategic communication of government through submitting a National Communication Strategy to Cabinet and ensuring coherence of messages, open and extended channels of communication between government and the people, towards a shared vision. Some of the chief directorates include: The Communication Service Agency provides core communication services to the GCIS and other government departments, both in-house and through outsourcing. Content and Writing provides language services on products that require translation and editing. It produces the South Africa Yearbook, Pocket Guide to South Africa and Vuk’uzenzele and maintains the Government Services, Government Information and the GCIS websites. Media Engagement drives interaction and communication between government and the media. The directorate also comprises the government news agency, Bua News. Media Rapid Response conducts media monitoring and develops appropriate communication interventions and initiatives.

What is LocaL Economic DEvELopmEnt (LED) Local Economic Development (LED) strategies and programmes are the main instruments at local level to tackle South Africa’s key challenges of poverty and unemployment. LED can be described as a mechanism which allows local governments and their communities to shape their environments, improve competitiveness in their local economies and to ensure the provision of infrastructure and public services. It further aims to support previously disadvantaged people and marginalised communities, black empowerment enterprises and SMMEs in order to allow them to participate fully in the economic life of the country and to contribute to the reduction of inequality across the nation. Regardless of the countless definitions of LED, most of them – including that of the World Bank and other international development organisations – have in common that they underline two important aspects: 1. LED is an ongoing process. 2. LED is driven by local actors from different societal sectors. Both these points imply collaboration, and even co-responsibility between the public and private sector for the economic development of a region or location. Following the White Paper on Local Government (1998), developmental local government is characterised by: 1. Maximising economic growth and social development: local government is instructed to exercise its powers and functions in a way that has a maximum impact on economic growth and social development of communities.
LocaL Economic DEvELopmEnt
2. Integrating and coordinating: local government integrates and coordinates developmental activities of other state and non-state agents in the municipal area. 3. Democratic development - public participation: local government becomes the vehicle through which citizens work to achieve their vision of the kind of place in which they wish to live. 4. Leading and learning: municipalities must build social capital, stimulate the finding of local solutions for increased sustainability and stimulate local political leadership.
Why is LED important?
Below: The Business Community Centre, CLGF.
Local Economic Development (LED) is based on the idea that local people use local resources and local opportunities to start economic activities and hence develop their local economy. LED is furthermore concerned

with identifying opportunities, building partnerships, harnessing local resources, influencing municipal policy, building skills and creating an environment which will engage stakeholders in implementing strategies and programmes. This perspective has to be aligned with the country’s macro-economic strategy which focuses on re-entering the global market, providing a climate which is amenable to international investments, enhancing the role of the private sector and reducing the role of the state. The increasing status of locality in the global economy and the rising emphasis of local and community decision-making in democratic states have paved the way for the development of LED.
Councillor’s Role in LED Local government in South Africa is guided by the concept of developmental local government as described in the White Paper. Its vision is that local government should “work with local communities to find sustainable ways to meet their social, economic and material needs and improve the quality of their lives.” Within this framework and in relation to LED, the roles of councillors include:
• Reviewing and evaluating the municipality’s existing policies, these include IDP, LED Strategy, SDF and sector plans; • Driving the process of developing a shared 14
SALGA’s Focus on LED The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) is an autonomous association of municipalities with its mandate derived from the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996). This mandate defines SALGA as the voice and sole representative of local government. SALGA interfaces with parliament, the National Council of Provinces (NCOP), cabinet as well as provincial legislatures. The association is a unitary body with a membership of 278 municipalities, with its national office based in Pretoria and offices in all nine provinces. Since the release of the SALGA LED Position Paper in 2009/10 (available on www. salga.org.za and on www.led.co.za), SALGA has moved beyond its limited lobbying,
advocacy and profiling role in seeing that LED actually “works” within local government. Focusing on the municipal LED mandate and employment creation expectations, the SALGA approach is to focus on both the direct and indirect development opportunities for local government, but be grounded in national, provincial, district, local and community priorities. This approach is not new to SALGA and the organisation has already, with its provincial offices, been working to strengthen its LED capacity with the support of the South African LED Network.
The South African LED Network The SA LED Network is dedicated to the promotion of good practice and dialogue in LED as well as connecting and networking practitioners. We strive to improve the understanding of local economies by promoting discussion and exchange between LED practitioners. It is hosted as a dedicated project by the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) at its national office in Pretoria and receives strong support from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The more than 3,000 registered members of the SA LED Network include local, provincial and national government officials, consultants, the private sector, academia and other organisations working on the development of local economies. The LED Network offers the following services via its web platform www.led.co.za (free registration):

The Eastern Cape is located on the east coast of South Africa between the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. Inland it borders the Northern Cape and Free State provinces as well as Lesotho. The region boasts remarkable natural diversity, ranging from the semi-arid Great Karoo to the forests of the Wild Coast and the Keiskamma Valley; the fertile Langkloof and the mountainous southern Drakensberg region. The Eastern Cape’s main feature is its spectacular coastline bordering the Indian Ocean. It covers an area of 169 580km2 and has a population of approximately 6,7 million. It is the second largest province in South Africa by surface area and has the third largest population. The capital is Bhisho. Other major cities and towns include Port Elizabeth, East London, Grahamstown, Mthatha, Graaf Reinet, Cradock and Port St Johns. The Eastern Cape is one of South Africa’s poorest provinces incorporating large areas of South Africa’s former homelands. The Eastern Cape has excellent agricultural and forestry potential. The fertile Langkloof Valley in the south-west has enormous deciduous fruit orchards, while the Karoo interior is an important sheep-farming area. The AlexandriaGrahamstown area produces pineapples, chicory and dairy products, while coffee and tea are cultivated at Magwa. People in the former Transkei region are dependent on the farming of cattle, maize and sorghum. The metropolitan economies of Port Elizabeth and East London are based primarily on manufacturing, the most important industry being motor manufacturing. The province is the hub of South Africa’s automotive industry. The Eastern Cape is divided into the metropolitan municipalities (Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality and Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality) and six district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 37 local municipalities. 18

Service Delivery
From top: Housing and health care remain high on the priority list; Nelson Mandela Bay stadium has been recognised as the best stadium in the country.
Service delivery in NMB was accelerated in 2010/2011, with the political leadership focusing on doing things smarter, better and faster. Housing remains a key priority of the institution. In the course of the 2010/2011 financial year, the NMBM handed over 2 956 low-cost housing units, with water and sanitation connections. Increasing focus is placed on social housing, to provide residents with affordable and integrated city living now. All households within the urban edge now have access to water within a 200m radius, and altogether 98% of households have access to basic refuse removal services. In the quest to become a greener and cleaner district, waste recycling initiatives have also been introduced. The NMBM provides primary health care services at 41 clinics, in addition to the ten provincial clinics. Anti-retroviral treatment is provided at 17 of these clinics. The impoverished area of Rocklands, which was dependent on mobile clinics for many years, received its very first clinic in 2010. The NMBM is well aware of the vital necessity of energy conservation. The massive geyser control project has made it easier to manage electricity demand, particularly during peak periods, and has consequently resulted in fewer blackouts. ESKOM has invested over R100 million in the project, with no financial burden to the NMBM or customers. Since the infrastructure is already in place, it is hoped that ESKOM will consider engaging in a third phase in the Metro. In turn, the NMBM could approach its surrounding municipalities in order to expand the project. This would benefit the entire Eastern Cape. 100% of households in formally demarcated areas have access to electricity. The NMBM has introduced three renewable
energy pilot projects (wind turbines, solar energy and energy from waste).
Economy Nelson Mandela Bay is the economic hub of the Eastern Cape Province. The Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) and Ngqura deep-water Port, which are located 20 km east of the city centre, are set to transform the economy of the region and the Eastern Cape and have already stimulated job creation and attracted global interest and major direct foreign investments. The IDZ is a harbourserviced track of land which offers a duty-free environment, with tax incentives for investors. The Ngqura Port serves as the IDZ’s link to the ocean. The Coega IDZ is in fact South Africa’s premier location for new industrial investments. It offers competitively priced and serviced land, with world-class resources and modern technological infrastructure. The automotive sector remains Nelson Mandela Bay’s primary manufacturing driver, with the Eastern Cape representing 40% of value of South Africa’s multi-billion rand automotive industry. The development of the Nelson Mandela Bay Logistics Park, situated next to the Volkswagen plant in Uitenhage, has stimulated the growth of the local automotive industry. The park is positioned to be a strategic area for automotive suppliers keen to provide services to General Motors, Ford and other automotive manufacturers in the area. Nelson Mandela Bay is also the preferred region for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, yoghurt, chocolates, ice-cream, soft drinks, hides and leather goods and is a major export port for manganese ore, catalytic convertors and vehicle components. The city is a major exporter of mohair and is known as the mohair capital of the world. In 2010, the NMBM hosted an Economic Development Summit, at which it joined hands with all local stakeholders to chart the way forward in eradicating poverty, creating job opportunities and advancing a new industrial growth path. A key growth area identified during the summit is the local tourism industry. Nelson Mandela Bays main tourist attraction is undoubtedly its 40km expanse of magnificent golden beaches washed by the Indian Ocean. It offers the perfect combination of warm water, breathtaking seashore and protected beaches, and is surrounded by internationally acclaimed game reserves where African game roam the landscape of the malaria-free Eastern Cape.

Nelson Mandela Bay is run by a progressive multi-award winning municipality, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, which is committed to making the city the preferred destination for investors and tourists alike, always in close consultation and engagement with its 1,1 million residents. As the only city in the world officially named after former South African President and world humanitarian and icon, Nelson Mandela, the NMBM strives to give effect to the principles and values that are associated with the great man, namely ubuntu, warmth, friendliness, unity and compassion. Nelson Mandela Bay is very proud to have served as one of the South African host cities for the highly successful 2010 FIFA World Cup. All games allocated to the city were played at our spectacular Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium (completed more than a year before the World Cup), which has since won a prestigious engineering award for being the best stadium in the country, with criteria including ease of access and exit, and facilities for people with disabilities and aesthetics. The NMBM is currently implementing legacy projects to maximise the benefits of the World Cup for the Bay and the broader Eastern Cape region.
Tourism NMB continues to successfully host Africa’s only Ironman Triathlon. Every year thousands of visitors, both national and international, descend on the Bay’s beachfront to be a part of this exhilarating and spectacular event. With stretches of beautiful golden beaches, Nelson Mandela Bay has been dubbed the “water sports capital of Africa” and remains one of the preferred destinations for enthusiasts of sailing, fishing, diving, surfing and wind surfing. And for four years, starting 2011, NMB will host the biggest rugby extravaganza in the world: the international IRB Sevens World Series. 27

for our farmers. We hope the exposure that is given to the farmers is going to open market opportunities.
Agricultural Development Expo Hailed as Success It is against this background that Amathole District Municipality (ADM) held the first of its kind two-day Agricultural Development Expo at Fort Cox Agricultural College in Middledrift, just outside Alice, from 2-4 November 2011. Farmers from all over the district grabbed this opportunity and exhibited a variety of products with pride. The Expo was specifically directed towards all farming-oriented citizens, from backyard garden owners to a large scale of commercial farming in the ADM. Institutions of higher learning and government agricultural parastatals discussed at length the issues affecting the sector. Amongst the issues penned for discussions were the following: • Challenges of sustainable farming; • Various support of emerging farmers; • The worldwide concern of the changing climate conditions and their effect on the ADM’s emerging sector; • Standardised taxing system of all farmers regardless of race. In addition to the challenges raised was the issue of heavy rains and droughts around the ADM area. However, despite these testing circumstances, a great number of the ADM inhabitants are continually getting involved in various forms of farming both at a small- and large-scale basis. The Expo provided a unique opportunity or platform to all agricultural producers to exhibit and demonstrate their vast range of products to their targeted customers. Included in the exhibitions were modern farming techniques comprising of a range of summer fruits, scientific and indigenous fertilisers, crop management tools, and cattle as well as livestock equipment and technologies, to mention but a few. There were also numerous stands and exhibits of farm produce, dairy suppliers, art and traditional regalia galleries, and homemade organic produce such as honey, confectionary, et al, owned by community-based development groups. Food gardening stalls were arranged with pride by their owners as they showcased their produce with the intention of claiming the Best Stall Award. In each and every race or competition that is run, it is expected that there will be some winners, and in this case Amahlathi Local Municipality got the first prize. The second prize went to Nkonkobe Local Municipality and third prize to Mbhashe Local Municipality. The ADM partnered with the following Eastern Cape Government Departments: • Department of Rural Development and Agrarian Reform • Department of Economic Development and Environmental Affairs • Umtiza Farmer’s Co-operative. Resolutions of the 4th ADM Agri Development Expo 2011 can be found on the ADM website at the following address: www.amathole.gov.za

Developmental Local Government mandates Amathole District Municipality to facilitate Agricultural Development in all local municipalities under its jurisdiction. The White Paper on Local Government (1998) further entrenches the four characteristics of Local Government, which includes amongst others: • Maximising social development and economic growth • Integration and coordination • Democratising development • Leading and learning. Therefore, against this legal premise, one of the outcomes of Developmental Local Government is to ensure viable local economic development and thus, food security and income generation activities. Therefore the district’s function is to facilitate the creation of habitable and integrated sustainable rural and urban livelihoods. This role has further probed ADM to organise an Agricultural Expo, the first of its kind, in order to consolidate efforts of agricultural actors and conscientise its inhabitants to understand the contribution of agriculture in the rural development agenda. The Expo will therefore encourage people-centred agricultural development, exposure to relevant knowledge and appropriate technologies. This public participation and interactive event will also unlock systematic bottlenecks and facilitate a common understanding of the system of local government. The Expo is intended to deepen insight through conferencing, and be a learning platform for information sharing. As Amathole District Municipality we have organised this event to unlock the economic opportunities for the farmers in the district. The Department of Agrarian Reform and Rural Development has committed itself to working with the district in developing skills

Focus on Renewable Energy for Cacadu District Municipality
Above: A potential site for the generation of hydro-electricity in the Blue Crane region.
The Cacadu District Municipality is the largest of six district municipalities in the Eastern Cape Province, covering an area of almost 60 000km². The district encompasses nine local municipalities namely Baviaans, Blue Crane Route, Camdeboo, Ikwezi, Kou-Kamma, Kouga, Makana, Ndlambe and Sunday’s River Valley. With a strong focus on both trade and tourism initiatives, viable investment opportunities have been identified in a number of priority sectors. Renewable energy is one of the priority investment sectors. The Cacadu District Municipality has identified a number of projects and areas pertaining to this sector within the district that have the potential for success. Renewable energy is energy that occurs naturally and therefore is not limited like that of coal, oil and gas. It is also sustainable and less damaging to the environment. With a strong global focus now centred on renewable energy and energy conservation, the Cacadu District Municipality has endeavoured to effectively use the sector to uplift local communities, while protecting the district’s natural resources and providing clean, “green” energy. The district has not only identified projects with potential, but has also ensured that solid plans and protocols were drawn up after extensive research. Renewable energy within the Cacadu District offers potential in terms of investment opportunities, infrastructure development and job creation.
Assessment and Planning In order to be prepared for the accommodation of renewable energy projects, it was necessary to first understand the current renewable energy landscape nationally, and specifically in the district. A rapid assessment and audit was done in order to identify what was currently happening in the district with regards to renewable energy, and to make recommendations on how to promote and manage these projects. Having an audit of this nature ensures that municipalities within the Cacadu District can prepare themselves to accommodate renewable energy projects. As a result of the audit, a number of recommendations with regards to renewable energy were made. The Cacadu Municipality and relevant authorities are currently working on implementing these recommendations. These include: • The establishment of implementation structures; • Identifying and unpacking key technologies; • Developing land use and a locational policy for renewable energy projects; 30
• Implementing district coordination, alignment and capacity building; and • Generating funding support and continuous strategy implementation. In light of these recommendations, a land use and locational policy for renewable energy has been drafted and adopted by council, encouraging local municipalities to use land responsibly when it comes to implementing renewable energy projects. In addition, the municipality hosted a renewable energy seminar for relevant councillors, municipal managers and officials at the District Municipality and Local Municipalities in order to build capacity within the district related to the emerging renewable energy sector. A Regional Renewable Energy Coordinating Forum has also been established to ensure that renewable energy efforts within the region are coordinated. This forum has since been elevated to a provincial coordinating forum together with the Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEDEAT). The policy and strategy of a provincial guiding document on renewable energy practice and policy has already been drafted. The forum would be the central point for coordination and information sharing regarding renewable energy.
Renewable Energy Projects With the planning and assessment in place, there are a number of renewable energy projects in different phases of development in the district. Two such developments are currently being undertaken in the Blue Crane Route Municipal area by the Blue Crane Development Agency (BCDA). The lack of a sufficient energy supply in the area is currently hampering economic and housing development. However, research has found that the area provides consistent wind patterns for renewable energy, and therefore the BCDA have two projects which are poised to provide the area with much needed energy. The first of these is the generation of hydro electricity on micro/mini sites in the area, a project which requires an estimated investment of R70 million for the development of the most suitable sites. The Blue Crane Development Agency (BCDA) has already done research and development work into the viability of eight potential micro/mini hydro sites for the project. One of the sites, the Cascades hydro-electricity site has the potential to generate 3.85MW of electrical energy, an amount which would be greatly beneficial to the energy demand on the municipality. The initial implementation study on the sites and the project is currently awaiting the necessary permits in order to go ahead with further development. Another important project within the Blue Crane Route Municipal area is the Wind Energy Research and Training Facility in Somerset East, a project undertaken by the Blue Crane Development Agency and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University. Together they have developed a concept for the development of a 1 MW wind farm consisting of 20 x 50 kW wind
Economic Development, Job Creation and Community Building These and other projects aid the municipality in creating a safer and “greener� environment, however another positive which comes from these renewable energy initiatives is job creation and community development within the district. One of the municipality’s priorities with renewable energy projects is to ensure that the projects create employment opportunities and aid economic development in the area. Jobs will be created during the construction phases of the various projects and thereafter for long-term maintenance of the sites and equipment. In terms of community development, the municipality is involved in the set-up and maintenance of community trusts for a number of areas where renewable energy projects are established, a requirement by the Department of Energy which requires project coordinators to prove that the project will aid socio-economic development in the area. In this regard, the coordinators are required to set up a trust to ensure that the community benefits from the project, an important
task which the Cacadu District Municipality assists with. Apart from the abovementioned projects, there are a number of renewable energy projects, undertaken by private developers or companies, currently in various phases in the district. Some of the areas identified as potential sites for wind farms are the Kouga Municipal Area, Makana Municipal Area and Tsitsikamma.
Future Plans With solid plans in place in terms of wind energy, the municipality is also looking at investigating the potential of biomass as a source of renewable energy, an initiative which has great employment potential for the district. The municipality aims to ensure that all current projects are successful in terms of both energy generation and community development. The municipality hopes to complement the current energy demand, but also advocates responsible energy and understands the importance of identifying sites which are best suited to the project.

turbines. Somerset East was the chosen area for this project because of its excellent wind profile and good municipal grid access. The site and centre will allow for further research, testing and training to be done and for wind data to be gathered and stored in a resource base. Once completed, the centre will enhance research and research collaboration between local and overseas universities on wind energy, and also allow for the facilitating of postgraduate studies on mechanical and electrical aspects of wind energy and the development of masters and PhD students. It is estimated that the initial capital expenditure required is R150 million. A project of this nature would result in ongoing operating expenditure and in that way, would open the door for job creation in the district through the manufacturing and maintenance of the facility.

Background The Gariep Local Municipal area covers approximately 8 821km² and is characterised by mountains, hills and valleys. The major urban settlements are the towns of Burgersdorp, Steynsburg, Venterstad and Oviston. According to the 2001-2011 report commissioned by the Statistics of South Africa, the size of the population is 31 305 people in total, with 54.9% being african, 38.6% coloured and 6.1% white. This area is well known for its stock farming, of which sheep production is one of the dominating sectors. The streams and rivers team with fish, with trout being a common species. Rock foundations are adorned with beautiful artwork produced years ago by the founders of the area – the Khoisan.

Local Economic Development
• Promote eco (nature reserves and game farms) and cultural tourism opportunities; • Promote tourism destinations as a foundation for tourism development and ensure that aesthetic guidelines are incorporated into land use management procedures in these areas.
Clearly investment remains the cornerstone of development and Gariep Local Municipality intends to create an environment that will attract economic growth. However, it must be acknowledged that the municipality cannot overcome poverty or attract new investment on its own, and it will take concerted efforts from all spheres and business to exploit areas with economic growth potential. The over arching strategy has been structured to map the development path that will enable other important role-players greater access to invest in and support development in the Gariep municipal area as a whole. Internal capacity should be strengthened to enable the municipality to support and coordinate investment initiatives, and lobby for funding. Priority sectors are transport, communication, government services and agriculture, and therefore Gariep LM should direct its economic development initiatives towards these sectors. The following sectors have all grown since 1996 and are also viewed as major GGP contributors: • Manufacturing (14.7%) • Construction (5.5%) • Although the agricultural sector only contributes 13.8% to the total GGP of Gariep, it remains the single largest private sector employer in the area: 27.6% of the workforce.
agrIculture
• Where feasible, opportunities will be explored and suitable land identified for expansion of community-based agriculture in the area; • Agricultural projects should preferably not be located in natural areas or other environmentally sensitive areas; • Due to the prevailing soil and rain type, the municipality is not suitable for the large scale production of crops. Crop farming, however, can still occur in areas under irrigation from the Orange River. fInancIal vIabIlIty
The municipality has great potential when it comes to being financially viable, but the resistance of the communities or the legacy of the apartheid era of not paying services plays a 32
The municipality is small with limited resources, and therefore heavily reliant on MIG funding for expensive infrastructure investment. This allows the municipality to ring fence own funding for operational objectives and maintenance. • To increase capital investment, strong partnerships have to be formed with the district, sector departments and private sector. • Improved maintenance of key mobility corridors and causeway/bridges; • Source funding for improved road maintenance that will address job creation; • Upgrade the pound and implement by-law dealing with stray animals.
• Link development approvals to provision of appropriate level of water services (water supply and sanitation/sewerage system) and waste management services; • There is an urgent need for upgrading of existing infrastructure.

major role with regard to the financial situation. If the community can realise the importance of paying for services, that alone will make the municipality more viable. Currently it relies solely on conditional grants to make changes in service delivery. The fact that there are no industrial areas in the jurisdiction of Gariep makes things difficult for the municipality.

MUNICIPAL INFORMATION • Area: 6 263km² • Population: 850 000 • Description: Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality is a Category A municipality. It is situated in the Free State Province, in the central interior of South Africa. The Free State is bordered by Gauteng, the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and North West provinces, as well as the neighbouring country of Lesotho. Mangaung, meaning “Place of the Cheetahs”, accentuates the vibrant, dynamic and energetic character of the tourism industry in the “City on the move”. The economy is strongly driven by the government sector, which has seen the fastest growth in the last five years as a result of increased government programmes in livelihoods improvement interventions. The finance sector is the second fastest growing sector due to very active estate and construction activities. Small businesses have a major role to play in the South African, and especially the Manguang economy in terms of employment creation, income generation and output growth. It is estimated that more than 12 million people in South Africa are actively involved in the SMME sector and account for approximately 60% of all employment in the economy and 40% of output. In an area such as Mangaung, with its relatively high levels of unemployment and poverty, it can be expected that the SMME sector will play an even more important role in job creation and poverty alleviation. The informal economy makes an important contribution to the economic and social life of Mangaung. Due to the decline in formal employment and consequent increase in unemployment, many people seek alternative means of earning an income. • Main Economic Sectors: Government services, finance, trade and transport.

Fresh Start for Mangaung Metro
free state
Thabo Manyoni, Executive Mayor
Cllr Mxolisi Siyonzana, Deputy Executive Mayor
Cllr Connie Rampai, Speaker
Thabo Manyoni, the newly elected mayor of Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality, says the new status brings an opportunity to re-invent the municipality by taking what is best from the past and merging it with the new opportunities that the 21st century unveils. The year 2011 is one of the most remarkable years in the history of local governance in the entire province of the Free State. It is a year that marks the first year of the first term of the first Metropolitan Council in our province. From the onset, it is imperative to take note of the fact that our municipality has been elevated from a category B to category A municipality since the 2011 local government elections. This brings an opportunity to reinvent our municipality by taking what is best from the past and merging it with the new opportunities that the 21st century unveils. This past year, 2010, after robust engagements with other spheres of government, we adopted our own Municipal Turnaround Strategy – a matter sufficiently captured in last year’s budget speech. The five objectives we set towards a realisation of a responsive, accountable, effective and efficient municipal system, requires the involvement of many others – civil society and business. Regarding the implementation of the Turnaround Strategy the following are some of the issues that will be given high priority this year: • Strengthening ward committees’ capacity and implementation of new ward committee model • Intergovernmental agreement on informal settlement upgrade including alignment of MIG and housing subsidy grants • Review and rearrange capacity grants • Aging and overloaded infrastructure, e.g. sewage plants, reservoirs and water pipes. Now, beyond the fourth local government elections, we are determined to build on the foundation laid in the past electoral terms. Most significantly, we endeavor to enhance our institutional capacity and community involvement towards building better communities. We will do so in accordance with the five national priories – creating decent work and sustainable livelihoods; education and health; rural development and agrarian reform; and the fight against crime and corruption.
Measurable Signs of Change Across Mangaung We believe that by working with civil society we can attain good local governance characterised by accountability, responsibility, openness and transparency. The establishment of the metropolitan will certainly dispel ambiguities and confusion that were evident in the working relations between the former Mangaung Local Municipality and the upper tier district municipality of Motheo. This development confers exclusive authority to us with regard to all local government matters such as building regulations, local tourism, municipal airports, municipal parks and recreation, health services, public transport, cemeteries, water and sanitation and

general municipal planning. We need to put more emphasis on financial viability and accelerated services, as these are the key features of developmental local government. Hence we seek further review of the current framework on financial recovery plan as adopted last year, 2010. We need a plan that will restore financial stability based on sound financial management principles and governance thereof. Certainly, these objectives shall not realise in the wink of an eye. But we are determined to find a long-term solution to the current worrying financial state of our municipality. By 2014, we are destined to be counted amongst municipalities who shall have achieved clean audits. Notwithstanding challenges ahead of us, we can evidently see measurable signs of change across Mangaung. As you may be aware, rapid increase in the population has had its unintended effects. It has put more pressure on infrastructural services such as housing, water, sanitation, electricity and roads. Nevertheless, we have responded relatively well to these challenges, given the limited resources – financial, physical and human. Mangaung is still a small and medium business municipality, and job creation opportunities and growth will mainly come from small business. SMMEs have played a significant role in creating jobs. Through our engagement with communities we know that access to job opportunities top the list of their aspirations. We are lucky that our municipality has a reasonable size of farmlands, totaling 30% of the municipality’s land mass. The availability of land offers us an ideal opportunity to meet the aspirations of our communities. With the fiscal challenges we are facing, reinvesting in integrated sustainable human settlements and infrastructure in Mangaung Local Municipality is a most viable option to address ever-expanding development challenges facing Mangaung. Creating areas of density is the best way for us to improve public safety, deliver better services and offer the quality of public amenities like recreational facilities, parks and cemeteries that you want and deserve. At the moment we are working on the urban settlement development grant (USDG) plan – a plan guided by the ever-pressing developmental situation in Mangaung. The first draft has been submitted to the National Treasury and Department of Human Settlement; we will open the floor for further discussions on this plan. The continued presence, as well as growth, of informal settlements in Mangaung poses a serious challenge to our institutional capacity to make provision for future housing planning. This matter deserves to be given primacy for purposes of ensuring the locations of all settlements within our jurisdiction to our IDP and SDF. Yes, the rise of informal settlements is a national issue, but we are elected to provide leadership. And we shall lead decisively. Henceforth we have further issued clear marching orders to the administration to ensure that we address compliance issues that have
Long-term Solutions to our Current Financial State In order to alleviate unfruitful expenditure we have embarked on a number of costcutting measures. Chiefly, amongst others, includes the centralisation of the vehicle fleet, auctioning of redundant vehicles and equipment leasing of the fleet, and reducing outsourcing. We are confident that we can achieve the cost savings by further reducing our costs significantly. Whether it is through centralising large commodity like the fleet,
tightening our supply chain management processes, or finding efficiencies in how we use those cost avoidance measures, our administration, in close collaboration with key oversight and monitoring institutions, will guide. While acknowledging challenges between labour and ourselves in the past, this new administration has demonstrated a political will to engage honestly without compromising discipline and accountability. I am happy to announce that we have finally agreed to settle all outstanding disputes that led to industrial actions prior to the local government elections. In the light of the above, a settlement agreement will be signed today between labour and ourselves. The Executive Mayor has committed to the “getting the basics right” back to basics principle; provision of basic services and ensuring every cent is accounted for, “value for money”; collection of revenue and removal of refuse timeously; and accurate billing systems. We are also making changes to improve revenue collections for the municipality. Historically we have done a poor job, collecting less than budgeted. It is important to note that this improvement will not result in costs being passed on to end users in the form of tariff increases. This is about collecting money we are owed from businesses, government, and communities, with the potential to bring R2 893 77 million in additional revenue to the municipality in the 2011/2012 financial year. We are confident that Mangaung will be restored to its rightful place as a provincial benchmark municipality – with particular emphasis on research; training and development; re-skilling; and education as top priorities. The most obvious example of that renewed commitment is the millions being invested to bring an integrated public transport facility (PTIS) right into the city centre. This project is more than an investment in transportation; it is an economic development tool that will support job growth for large and small businesses. We will create a conducive and enabling

put us in violation of MFMA, MSA and other legislative prescripts, and thus to disclaimer audit opinions in recent years. Once again, we wish to reaffirm our commitment to operation Clean Audit 2014. Earlier in 2011, we managed to identify some deficiencies within our system which include, amongst others, poor internal control measures, inherent and residual risk, and noncompliance. Given the developed internal control procedures, systems and controls to mitigate the deficiencies identified, we are committed to produce a clean audit by 2013, a year before national target of Clean Audit by 2014. The design and development of systems and controls will ensure non-recurrence of the issues from prior periods. We hope that all these issues that had caused the qualified audit reports would not recur. In comparison with the other seven metropolitan municipalities, we come out the cheapest in the total basket of proposed tariff increases. We are striving very hard to improve our financial efficiency. We are in particular working hard around debt collection and proper accounting practices. We have raised substantially our rate of debt collection, while also strengthening the accountability aspects thereof. We have to put together proper accounting mechanisms in the form of an Audit Committee and a revamped Internal Audit unit which boasts no less than ten suitably qualified internal auditors. We are working around the clock to improve audit opinion by the Auditor-General of South Africa.

Sello Dennis Ntsepe, Mayor
This report represents the institution’s achievements and challenges towards working smarter and better in improving service delivery and development, in response to the cabinet decision of developing municipal turn-around strategies to make local government work better. During this period the municipal demarcation re-aligned the municipal boundaries and the outcome of this process provided the municipality with an additional ward, which brings the total numbers of the municipality wards to nine. It was also during this process that the municipality was demarcated under the Thabo Mofutsanyane District Municipality after the de-establishment of the former Motheo District Municipality. I hereby wish to take this opportunity to formally inform the residents of Mantsopa Local Municipality that the municipality is now part of the Thabo Mofutsanyana District Municipality. Let me also congratulate the IEC and its officials for conducting free and fair elections, held 18 May 2011. And it is my wish that the newly elected councillors will work together in their effort to implement the promises as contained in the election manifesto of the ruling party the ANC.
Achievements for the Year: National Key Performance Area: Basic Service Delivery
Sylvia Visagie, Speaker
Regarding service delivery, the municipality is on course in achieving its objectives in all five key performance areas namely: • Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructural Development • Municipal Financial Viability and Management • Municipal Transformation and Development • Local Economic Development • Good Governance and Public Participation. Key achievements during the financial year under review are the following:
SM Selepe, Municipal Manager: Acting Capacity
• Receipt of a qualified audit opinion from the Auditor General • Completion of the Hobhouse: Waste Water Treatment Plan to increase bulk water supply • Completion of Itumeleng Community Hall Construction of streets and stormwater: Koma Village, Manyatseng and Ladybrand • Completion of phase three bucket eradication project in Tweespruit and Hobhouse • Completion of sewer reticulation in Platberg.
National Key Performance Area: Financial Viability and Management Pricing of services

In order to remain financially viable and sustainable, the municipality must generate sufficient resources. As limited scope exists to generate alternative revenue, it is necessary to increase rates and tariffs annually. The determining of tariffs is the responsibility of council, as per the provision of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act. Affordability was an important factor when considering the rates and tariff increases. Consideration was also given to the alignment
between the resources of the municipality, level of service and customer expectations. service charges
The electricity tariffs increased by 20%, which was much higher than that of previous years, mainly due to the above average increase by Eskom as approved by the National Electricity Regulator. These above average increases are expected to continue in the medium term. The 6% increase in water tariffs are as a result of (amongst other factors), bulk purchase tariff increase from Bloewater, the water loss intervention programme, the increase in maintenance of ageing infrastructure and the rollout of infrastructure to new areas/ developments. indigents
Furthermore, the cost of the indigent’s package of R15 891 017 in order to provide free services to residents who cannot afford to pay also contributed to the need to increase tariffs. The cost of the indigents was funded from the equitable share allocated to council by National Treasury in terms of the Division of Revenue Act.
National Key Performance Area: Local Economic Development Jobs created through Infrastructure Projects: • 99 jobs created in the development and upgrading of the road to Lekhalong la Mantsopa in Modderpoort. • 40 jobs created by the municipality for three months. • 338 jobs created for street cleaning and greening projects funded by the National Department of Environmental Affairs 225 jobs created for the greening project (Hantique). • 75 jobs created for the upgrading and rehabilitation of Tlali Street in Manyatseng. • 75 jobs created for the upgrading of Fifth Street in Ladybrand. • 42 jobs created for upgrading streets in Koma Village in Mahlatswetsa. • 35 jobs created in the Hobhouse and Tweespruit bucket eradication project • 20 jobs created for the upgrading of Itumeleng community hall.

Gauteng is the smallest of South Africa’s provinces, covering an area of 17 010km2 or approximately 1,4% of the total surface area of South Africa. It is bordered by the Free State, North West, Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. While being the smallest province, it is also the most populous, being home to approximately 11 million people. Gauteng lies on the highest part of the interior plateau on the rolling plains of South Africa’s Highveld. Its capital is Johannesburg and it also contains the city of Pretoria as well as the East Rand, West Rand and Vaal areas. Gauteng continues to serve as the economic engine room of the country and the subcontinent, responsible for over 34,8% of the country’s GDP. Gauteng is the powerhouse of South Africa and the heart of its commercial business and industrial sectors. The three most important sectors contributing to GDP are finance, real estate and business services; manufacturing; and general government services. Gauteng is also the financial-services capital of Africa. More than 70 foreign banks have their head offices here, as do at least the same number of South African banks, stockbrokers and insurance giants. Gauteng is divided into three metropolitan municipalities, the City of Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan, as well as two district municipalities which are further subdivided into seven local municipalities.

MUNICIPAL INFORMATION • Area: Greater Johannesburg 2 500km • Population: 3.9 million • Description: City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality is located in Gauteng Province. Johannesburg, also known as Jozi, Jo'burg or eGoli, is the largest city in South Africa. It is the provincial capital of Gauteng, the wealthiest province in South Africa, having the largest economy of any metropolitan region in Sub-Saharan Africa. The city is one of the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the world and is also the world's largest city not situated on a river, lake, or coastline. While Johannesburg is not officially one of South Africa's three capital cities, it does house the Constitutional Court – South Africa's highest court. It also includes Soweto, which was a separate city from the late 1970s until the 1990s. The city is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills. Johannesburg is served by OR Tambo International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Africa and a gateway for international air travel to and from the rest of southern Africa. More recently, Lanseria International Airport has started international flights and is situated conveniently on the opposite side of the metropolis. The population of the municipal city is 3.9 million. Gauteng is growing rapidly due to mass urbanisation. According to the State of the Cities Report, the urban portion of Gauteng – comprising primarily the cities of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni (the East Rand) and Tshwane (greater Pretoria) - will be a polycentric urban region with a projected population of some 14,6 million people by 2015. • Main Economic Sectors: Financial and business services, retail and wholesale trade, community and social services, and the manufacturing sector.

MUNICIPAL INFORMATION • Area: 6 368km² • Population: 2.5 million • Description: City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality is situated in the Gauteng Province and City of Tshwane/Pretoria is the capital of South Africa. It has merged with Metsweding District, which was a consequence of the Gauteng global city region strategy to reduce the number of municipalities in Gauteng to at least four by 2016. The new City of Tshwane is now the single largest metropolitan municipality in the country, comprising an area of 6 368km², 7 regions, 105 wards, 210 councillors and a population of about 2,5 million. South Africa is the second largest country to have embassies after Washington DC. Many embassies thus call this city their home. The Union Buildings house the administrative hub for the country and have also been the setting for all the presidential inaugurations of Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki and the incumbent South African president, Jacob Zuma. These sandstone buildings offer beautiful views over the city. Its rich and colourful heritage is reflected in the city's myriad of museums, monuments and historical buildings, and is punctuated by contemporary arts and craft markets, bringing the city alive with a unique blend of new and old. The Science and Technology Museum offers a tactile experience of science at work. The South African mint has a minting press dating back to 1892, which is still in operation. The city also offers township sleepovers with a five-star stay. Church Square and the State Theatre often host international and national performances.

CONCRETE BLOCK PAVING CREATES JOBS AND SAVES R-MILLIONS The surfacing of roads in former townships and rural villages with concrete block paving (CBP) is being widely used as a job-creation mechanism and a means of radically reducing maintenance costs. According to the Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA) there are several ongoing projects across the country, and in each case jobless community members are being trained and employed to pave the roads. Above: A road in Khuma, Stillfontein, one of six being re-surfaced with concrete block pavers (CBP).
then the largely unproven CBP system rather than the widely-used asphalt alternative for the surfacing village roads.” CBP is also spearheading a poverty alleviation and road-resurfacing project in George where the municipality is resurfacing its deteriorating lowtrafficked suburban asphalt and gravel roads in all residential areas. To date some 2 650 community members and 440 sub-contractors have been employed through the project. “The success of these projects prove that unskilled people can be trained to lay concrete blocks with a high degree of workmanship and that these skills can be subsequently used in other construction-related projects.
“CBP is labour-intensive and it is relatively easy to provide CETA-accredited theoretical and on-site training on the laying of concrete pavers,” says CMA director, Hamish Laing.
“Furthermore, the money earned on CBP projects has a multiplier effect, stimulating economic activity in other sectors of local communities. It also imbues residents with homes on roads surfaced with CBP with new-found pride in their communities and this is reflected in cleaner streets and better-maintained properties.
“Moreover, the maintenance savings are substantial. For example, the Royal Bafokeng Administration is saving some R13 million annually on the maintenance of CBP roads in Northwest Province. The programme began in 1996 when the RBA chose to use what was
“Besides its labour-intensive and low-maintenance attributes, CBP is also aesthetically appealing and is ideally suited to town squares, traffic-calming zones, shopping centres, commercial car parks, residential paths and driveways,” concludes Laing.
ARCHITECT-DESIGNED EASY-TO-READ 40m² HOUSE PLANS AVAILABLE FROM THE CMA FREE OF CHARGE The Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA) is offering architect-designed plans for a 40m2 house at no charge to anyone wishing to use them. Dubbed the CMA House, it is an initiative which - if adopted by the construction industry - will improve the quality and building productivity of subsidised housing dramatically. The project was officially launched by CMA director, Hamish Laing, at the South African Housing Foundation Conference in September. Laing says modular masonry using concrete blocks or bricks forms the backbone of The CMA House. “The major difference between modular and nonmodular masonry lies in the detail, especially in the plans and schedules. Besides the walls, doors and other dimensions, the plans detail each and every block/brick used. This reduces the need for oddsized units and the associated wastage of time and materials so prevalent in non-modular masonry.” The CMA House or, more accurately, two houses, were designed by an architect using two different masonry units, one used largely inland and the other
in coastal regions. The inland set is based on the 290 x 140 x 90mm solid block. The coastal set is based on the 390 x 140 x 190mm hollow block. The 140mm width of both units provides enough structural integrity based on the SANS 10400-K standard and is more economical than the 230mm width of a standard wall. Each CMA-house plan includes: a full set of drawings; a normal raft foundation or an alternative Agrémentapproved precast concrete hollow-core option; modular masonry; and concrete roof-tiles. The plans also include: schedules for block-cutting and for matching door and window frames to masonry units; recommendations on waterproofing external wall surfaces; and some energy-efficiency options. Laing says a double-storey version of the CMA house is also on the cards and two experimental houses have already ben erected as part of the Housing and Home Warranty Conference (IHHWC) Legacy Project in Cape Town.
Both sets of drawings of The CMA House are available on the CMA website www.cma.org.za

The Joburg 2040 GDS

Councillor Parks Tau, Executive Mayor City of Johannesburg
Clockwise from right: Nelson Mandela Bridge; Chancellor House; Johannesburg’s iconic skyline.

The City of Johannesburg developed its first Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) in 2006, as a long-term strategy – an articulation of Johannesburg’s future development path. The Joburg 2040 GDS is an aspirational strategy that defines the type of society the City aspires to achieve by 2040. The strategy restates the City’s resolve in confronting the past injustices created during apartheid, working towards a democratic, non-racial, nonsexist city while simultaneously confronting present and future challenges as they emerge. The Joburg 2040 GDS is not a spatial vision or statutory plan. This is an important distinction, as it distinguishes this document from other long-range city plans. Instead, the Joburg 2040 GDS is a prerequisite for mediumterm, strategic, spatially-oriented plans for the infrastructure, housing and transportation sectors. Furthermore, this strategy does not describe institutional powers, functions and operational activities. On the contrary, it provides a set of defined strategic directions that frame the five-year IDP and other mediumterm plans. In support of long-term delivery, the IDP will contain specific five-year operational activities, targets and financial budgets. The GDS outreach process, a nine-week process of engagement launched on 2 August 2011, provided an opportunity by which to test the ideas included in a draft of the 2040 GDS. The process included a number of elements, namely:
• Weekly thematic discussions with stakeholders, including the community; • Ward level engagement and participation; a conference with leading global, regional and local experts; • A City Lekgotla; and • GDS Stakeholders’ Summit. It aimed to include all stakeholders, using a wide-ranging stakeholder and community consultation process to drive the development of an inspiring, visionary and implementable local government strategy. The Joburg 2040 GDS therefore serves as a strategy through which all parties can be galvanised in a shared sense of ownership. It forms a foundation document for the period ahead, against which the City’s stakeholders can hold the City to account. To assist the City in understanding these needs to a greater degree, the City implemented a feedback and engagement process, called the “GDS outreach”. The outreach was launched by the Executive Mayor of Johannesburg on 2 August 2011. The intention was to produce a strategy for local government that would be based on an understanding of the experiences of those within the City and would address the needs and opinions of the entire City’s population. The GDS outreach also aimed to inspire the City’s stakeholders with a sense of shared ownership of and the freedom to participate in a developmental local government strategy for all.

Empowering Stakeholders With this objective in mind, the City has made use of an extensive stakeholder engagement process in the form of the GDS outreach, to include and empower all its key stakeholders, ensuring that the vision of a Johannesburg in 2040 is jointly formulated and is one in which all want to participate. Responses were actively solicited, reviewed, analysed and refined for inclusion. Joburg 2040 GDS includes a full representation of these inputs. The Joburg 2040 GDS is one in which all can take pride, knowing that participation has led to a more targeted, informed strategy.
for short and medium-term planning and implementation. Through the City’s future focus on these outcomes, we envisage success in realising the Johannesburg of our dreams. The Joburg 2040 GDS serves as an invaluable tool through which this potential will be brought to fruition. Together, the City and its citizens can address poverty and ensure human and social development, create an inclusive economy and a healthy environment, and establish a liveable, resilient and sustainable City for all, supported by a capable, soundly governed metropolitan government.

The Importance of the GDS Outreach Process
60
The GDS outreach process creates a new precedent, and is the first of its kind for the City of Johannesburg. Never before has an open call by the Mayor been used to “crowd source” Joburg citizens from all walks of life, to participate in a strategy making process. The approach has been significant, due to a number of factors: • It has allowed for significant participation and collaboration in the City strategy making process, on a scale never before attempted in South Africa. • This is the first known attempt of using online social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to allow citizens to participate in the strategy making process of a South African city. • Through a comprehensive process of collaboration, which included not only online platforms, but also suggestion boxes and live participation sessions in neighbourhoods, the City was able to reach out to its diverse citizenry. • In turn, strategy writers were, for the first time, able to clearly see what citizens really identified as critical issues, problems and solutions. • The citizens of Johannesburg found the opportunity to share their problems and collective solutions. They found a voice and a platform for expression. • For the first time, the strategy writing and development process was opened up to a wide range of citizens, with input also coming from ordinary people, representing a shift from the traditional focus on input by academics and technocrats. This collaborative strategy making process provides an important lesson for designing strategy making processes that are more participatory and inclusive in nature. It has also set the basis for the coming term of office (2011-2016) for the City of Johannesburg, a municipality that is making a concerted effort to deepen communications and enhance participation with all citizens who live in the City. The GDS outreach process has made great strides in improving the relationship
between the citizens of Johannesburg and the City of Johannesburg. This is the first time that a public outreach process of this scale and nature has been developed specifically for the participation of the citizens of the City. The GDS outreach process has sent a clear message to all citizens that the City of Johannesburg is committed to meaningful public participation and seeks to bring everyday citizens into the process of planning and participation. Through the GDS outreach, the City has been humbled by the countless stories and submissions received. These submissions have been tirelessly documented, forming the basis for updating the document and defining the strategic programmes for the next term of office and beyond. Citizens have expressed their desire to live in a city that inspires, a city that they can be proud of. It was also an opportunity for the City to educate the citizens of Johannesburg about the immense challenges the City faces and in turn, allowed the City the opportunity to employ and harness the intellectual capacity of citizens in establishing solutions to these challenges. Through this process, the GDS has developed a document that expresses the collective aspirations of the many citizens who participated in various thematic weeks. This exercise in collaboration has strengthened the content in the document, creating a much needed platform for further engagement and ongoing participation. No longer is the strategy process merely resigned to technical experts. Through this exercise, important lessons about collaborative working, learning and doing have taken place. It served as a challenge to the policy makers, community activists, bureaucrats, business representatives, councillors and citizens who were all able to deepen their own knowledge and apply their thinking towards tackling some of the most complex city challenges with vigour and a sense of optimism. The Joburg 2040 GDS bears testament to this: “Joburg - my City – my Future”.

Ekurhuleni – Where Africa’s Aviation Industry Thrives
From top: OR Tambo International Airport; Ekurhuleni’s many road networks support a well established industrial and commercial complex.
62
Ekurhuleni is well positioned to be an Aerotropolis – an urban form consisting of aviation intense business and related enterprises - and will embrace the Aerotropolis concept in all its planning and implementation actions as part of recognising the value created by being known as South Africa’s Aerotropolis, and Africa’s access point to opportunities both within and beyond South Africa. The economy of the Ekurhuleni region is larger and more diverse than that of many small countries in Africa, including all the countries in Southern Africa. It accounts for nearly a quarter of the Gauteng province’s economy, which in turn contributes over one third of the national Gross Domestic Product. Ekurhuleni contributes about 7% to the country’s spending power and another 7% to its production. In the majority of indicators of economic activity, namely per capita income, unemployment, poverty, average wages, as well as other indicators of human development, it is similar to the rest of Gauteng. It has the largest concentration in Gauteng, South Africa and Africa of industry for the production of goods and commodities; which is why Ekurhuleni is often referred to as Africa’s workshop. Manufacturing in Ekurhuleni accounts for 28% of its total production output, and just below 20% of the GDP of Gauteng. The network of roads, airports, rail lines, telephones, electricity grids and telecommunications, rivals that of many cities in developed Europe and America. This infrastructure supports a well-established industrial and commercial complex. South Africa’s largest railway hub is in Germiston and it links the City of Ekurhuleni to all the major population centres and ports in the Southern African region. Many of the country’s modern freeways and expressways crisscross one or other part of Ekurhuleni, connecting it to virtually all provinces, and many of the country’s major cities. The Maputo Corridor development, South Africa’s most advanced spatial development initiative, connects Ekurhuleni with the capital of Mozambique and Southern Africa’s largest Indian Ocean port. It is also linked directly via rail, road and air to Durban, South Africa’s biggest and busiest port. The OR Tambo International Airport services the entire African continent, and links to major cities throughout the world. Many of the world’s leading airlines fly directly into the OR Tambo International Airport. Some 14 million passengers pass through the airport’s terminals each year. On the domestic front, a number of smaller, mostly domestic airlines connect various South
African and regional towns and cities via this airport.
Ekurhuleni Aerotropolis During the State of the City Address as well as the Budget Speech 2011 by the Executive Mayor, Clr Mondli Gungubele, the Aerotropolis concept for Ekurhuleni was announced. “Our strategic approach to economic growth and development will be realigned to new realities, challenges and opportunities. At its centre, we will announce definite plans for the reorientation of the City of Ekurhuleni into an Aerotropolis, which can be defined in two interrelated ways: one, ‘a new urban form placing airports in the centre with cities growing around them, connecting workers, suppliers, executives, and goods to the global marketplace’. The other defines an Aerotropolis in mainly infrastructure terms, thus ‘an aviationlinked urban infrastructure consisting of an airport core, light industrial space, hotel/retail/ entertainment complexes, and ocean ports, fully integrated across global supply chain networks. “In both cases, we are certain that our business community is bound to locate a role for itself in the Ekurhuleni of the future, which we are hard at work busy constructing.” “We know for a fact that our vision of an Ekurhuleni Arotropolis is one that is shared by our Gauteng Provincial Government as well as the Government of South Africa. We know too that once rolled out, it will be of benefit to the Southern African region as well as the continent as a whole,” says the first citizen of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. “For the next five years the city has planned to optimise the existence of the airport in its space together with other key development nodes, including the identified industrial development zones under the development of the Aerotropolis strategy. This will entail investment in new economic infrastructure to support logistics, distributions and related green industries. This will be coupled by the optimisation of the broadband ICT infrastructure to realise the vision of the Digital City and to reposition the metro as a visionary smart city that is globally competitive,” said Clr Gungubele during his address.
Digital City The notion of a Digital City is central to the Aerotropolis plan because in order to attract foreign and domestic direct investment, assurance must be given with regard to smooth business processing. Ekurhuleni’s point of departure is that ICT is an enabler. Feasibility studies are therefore being conducted and a trading entity will be established. In the process, 400 highly skilled people are expected to be employed over a five year period, a total of 2 420 jobs will be created, all of which relate directly to the transformation of Ekurhuleni into a digital city. In a positive knock-on effect, as more companies set up stage in Ekurhuleni, even more people will gain employment through these companies, as well as via secondary economic activities.
Towards an Integrated, Safe Public Transport System The municipality strives towards establishing an Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN) which will ensure that there is accessible, reliable, safe and affordable public transport for the entire region. The main objective of the IRPTN is to provide a new and attractive roadbased public transport service serving the people of Ekurhuleni. A total of R42 million was allocated for the four initial workstreams dealing with the operations plan, business plan, project management, and communications and marketing plan. In itself the Ekurhuleni IRPTN should be able to create at least 650 direct full-time equivalent jobs. Once fully operational, it is expected that this project will result in a major spillover effect in terms of jobs, especially coming out of such feeder industries as the automotive, manufacturing, service and related sectors.
In delivering services to the community, Ekurhuleni aims to maintain and promote sustainable environmental management by carefully blending ecological, social and economic solutions into its future planning. The EMM balances the interests of the present with those of future generations and ultimately, will strive to reduce the impact of current operations, activities, products and services. Ekurhuleni celebrated the life and legacy of OR Tambo in a historic manner in 2011 with the unveiling of a R140 million Oliver Tambo Environmental Education and Narrative Centre (as part of a precinct) on his birthday on 27 October 2011. Various buildings are accommodated on the site and, although they have quite different functions, the central theme uniting them is the ecological connection with the environment. Each utilises alternative technology and materials in its construction and servicing. The ultimate aim is to measure the efficiency of these alternative systems during operations to test various hypotheses and to add to the collective wisdom of ‘green’ architecture in South Africa. Other initiatives that prove Ekurhuleni’s commitment towards the environment include a solar water heater programme, whereby 19 000 low pressure solar water systems, with no backup electric element, have been installed in low-income households and hostels using the Eskom Solar Water Heater subsidy. Apart from benefiting from the solar water systems, recipients also get a wonder bag, which is an energy-saving scheme, designed to remarkably reduce the use of electricity, gas, paraffin and wood fires for cooking in households. In addition, the Basa nje ngo magogo programme is being run to introduce low smoke emission methods of fire making in low-income settlements, where people use

coal as their primary source of energy. As an industrial hub, the EMM is serious about air quality control, with an air quality plan and industrial forums in place. Regular truck inspections are conducted on major routes with an aim to reduce carbon footprints, particulates and precursors of ozonedepleting substances.
City of Lakes It is estimated that there are 261 water bodies in Ekurhuleni, which are of significant value to communities as they control floods, provide life to biodiversity and provide palatable water. A multi-purpose water master machine purchased is designed to preserve, restore, and rehabilitate lakes and inland waterways. World-class parks and sanctuaries are being developed and upgraded around these water bodies in Ekurhuleni. The city is in the process of conducting feasibility studies on how best to use dams, lakes and pans, and to determine applicability of current master plans. These will include the purposes of leisure, hospitality, transport and sport.
Platinum Status for Ekurhuleni’s Drinking Water The city was presented with a Cum Laude
award for the management of its drinking water by the national Department of Water Affairs, for achieving Blue Drop status for three consecutive years. The Blue Drop status means that Ekurhuleni’s tap water is well monitored and is safe to drink. Not only residents, but also tourists touching down at OR Tambo International Airport, have safe tap water to drink. Ekurhuleni supports this national imperative of recognising that water is the lifeblood of our country, without which there is no life, no economic growth and no development.
Separation of Powers During April 2011 a new governance framework was approved. The decision was taken to adopt a system of good governance and effective management of the metropolitan municipality, and to put in place an independent oversight mechanism in accordance with international principles of good governance. “Separation of powers is designed to be transparent, to hold all accountable and to provide a coherent system of government. Driving the process is public participation, a strict code of conduct and performance requirements of politicians and officials,” says Cllr Gungubele. 63

KwaZulu-Natal is located in the southeast of South Africa bordering the Indian ocean. It also borders on the Eastern Cape, Free State and Mpumalanga provinces as well as Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique. The “Garden Province” of South Africa stretches from the lush sub-tropical east coast washed by the warm Indian Ocean, to sweeping savanna in the east and the majestic Drakensberg mountain range in the west. It covers an area of 92 100km2, the third smallest in the country, and has a population of approximately 10,6 million, making it the second most populous province in South Africa. The capital is Pietermaritzburg. The largest city is Durban. Other major cities and towns include Richards Bay, Port Shepstone, Newcastle, Estcourt, Ladysmith and Richmond. The manufacturing sector is the largest in the province in terms of contribution to GDP. Richards Bay is the centre of operations for South Africa’s aluminium industry. The Richards Bay Coal Terminal is instrumental in securing the country’s position as the second-largest exporter of steam coal in the world. The province has undergone rapid industrialisation owing to its abundant water supply and labour resources. Agriculture is also central to the economy. The sugar-cane plantations along the coastal belt are the mainstay of KwaZulu-Natal’s agriculture. The coastal belt is also a large producer of subtropical fruit, while the farmers inland concentrate on vegetable, dairy and stock-farming. Another source of income is forestry in the areas around Vryheid, Eshowe, Richmond, Harding and Ngome. KwaZulu-Natal is divided into one metropolitan municipality (eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality) and ten district municipalities which are further subdivided into 50 local municipalities.

The eThekwini Municipality is leading the climate change revolution in local government and has been for a number of years. Thanks to the leadership and foresight of our environmentalists, the Municipality is hailed internationally for the work being done at local government level. Durban has identified the municipal sectors that are most vulnerable to the threats from climate change and has developed sectorspecific adaptation plans to reduce these impacts. Plans have been developed for the water, health and disaster management sectors. A total of 48 intervention options have been identified within the Municipal Adaptation plans across the three sectors. The interventions that best suit the development challenges faced by the City and its residents, have been prioritised. The Municipality initiated a Municipal Climate Protection Programme (MCPP) to: • Assess the local impacts of climate change on the Municipality; • Highlight the key interventions that would be required by the Municipality in order to adapt successfully to climate change; • Develop tools to assist strategic decisionmaking in the City within the context of climate change; • Mainstream climate change concerns into the City’s planning and development. At the forefront of environmental conservation is the Mayor, Cllr James Nxumalo, who is committed to lead as the National Convener of the Local Government Champions Committee for the South African Local Government Association. Nxumalo is also a member of the Inter-Ministerial Cabinet Committee on COP17 and the World Mayors Forum for Sustainability, and a SALGA Climate. At a local level, he is driving a number of initiatives to get communities involved in issues of climate change, as this is where the hard impacts are felt the most. Through community outreach programmes, which he has initiated, the Mayor has been sharing his experiences and measures that need to be implemented to ensure that climate change mitigation becomes a reality. He has been visiting many areas to educate people about the importance of protecting the environment. “It is essential that local communities are given assistance in adapting to climate change, as it is these communities that will have to deal
with the brunt of the projected climate change impacts,” said Nxumalo. To this end, the Municipality is committed to the development of community adaptation plans. “As part of this commitment, work has been conducted in two poor, high-risk communities in Durban. These plans have focused on three key areas; community risk, water and food security. Options for improved micro scale agricultural water management, given future water availability challenges, were also assessed and food security concerns were explored,” he said. The Municipality is well known nationally and internationally for the 74 000ha Durban Metropolitan Open Space System (commonly known as D’MOSS) that has been designed to protect this biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. The protection of this system is critical in helping the City respond to the multiple challenges created by climate change. At a strategic planning level, research is being conducted to examine how the distribution of key vegetation types may alter under climate change, and what responses will be needed to ensure the ongoing protection of ecosystems. Durban is the only city in South Africa to have focused this level of attention on securing open spaces and acknowledging the role that these play in adapting to climate change. The Green Roof Pilot Project is one of the first green roofs in South Africa and has received a Star Award from the Impumelelo Innovations Award Trust, which rewards exceptional projects that involve partnerships with the public sector and which enhance the quality of life of communities in innovative ways. Green roofs have an important role to play in reducing the impacts of climate change by regulating the temperature of buildings, reducing storm water run-offs, enhancing food production in the City, and bringing biodiversity back into the City. Within eThekwini Municipality, a dedicated Energy Office has been established to focus on energy efficiency, renewable energy and climate change mitigation efforts in the City. The Energy Office operates primarily at a strategic and executive level and is therefore responsible for project conceptualisation, and designs and works with other departments in the City to implement the programmes. It has developed a mass solar water heater rollout program in almost all the areas with RDP houses. This project has brought hot water to poor communities without adding extra demand on the electricity grid. The Municipality focuses on creating an enabling environment of renewable energy production, but also the manufacturing of sustainable energy products and components. The City has recently developed a comprehensive wind map, various largescale generation projects such as the water reticulation hydro turbines and waste to methane projects. It has also helped establish the KZN Sustainable Energy Forum, a first of its kind in the country. The KSEF consists of private sector, public sector and civil society representatives of the sustainable energy sector, who meet regularly to discuss
kwazulu-natal
ways to develop the energy sector in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. The Energy Office is currently developing a detailed Greenhouse Gas inventory that will assess the Municipality’s own emissions, as well as the broader community emissions. The Municipality’s gas to electricity conversion project is raking in R54 million a year and providing waste management skills to many people living near the Bisasar Road landfill site. This conversion of methane, a gas collected from waste, into electricity made good economic sense. The project, a first of its kind in Africa, has also benefited communities living near the landfill by converting harmful greenhouse emissions into electricity and providing employment opportunities. This is the first landfill gas project in Africa. It generates a total of 8MW electricity. For every 1MW generated, it provides electricity to approximately 500 houses. It also reduces the release of greenhouse gases. The Municipality’s Integrated Rapid Public Transport Network (IRPTN) aims to encourage the use of public and nonmotorised transport to reduce carbon emissions. Cycling is a huge part of the
City’s plans, and to this end, they have begun the construction of cycle lanes in various parts of the City. The mobile air monitoring station is one of the measures to tackle pollution in the eThekwini area. This helps to monitor and license emissions from refineries and over 100 other industries in the City. This is a huge effort in partnership with Provincial and National Government to together tackle the emissions in Durban via the Multi Point Pollution Plan. The Multi Point Plan helps to provide an improved decision-making structure for air pollution management at local government level, to reduce air pollution to meet healthbased air quality standards, and to improve the quality of life for the local community. A number of clean, green and healthy lifestyle campaigns, including food gardens, clean-up programmes and a Sustainable Living Exhibition, have been introduced by the Municipality. “A healthy community, service delivery, job creation and environmental sustainability are the impetus behind the Municipality’s commitment to ensuring that the mitigation and adaptation to climate change occurs,” says Nxumalo.
From top left: Residents are encouraged to bin refuse to ensure a healthy community; Service delivery, job creation and environmental sustainability are the impetus behind the Municipality’s commitment to ensuring that the mitigation and adaptation to climate change occurs; eThekwini is promoting the riding of bicycles in the City to encourage residents to do something about the impact of climate change; Executive Mayor, James Nxumalo speaks to residents during the climate change outreach.

TN Jojozi, Executive Mayor
The strategic location of Greater Kokstad Municipality along the N2 Development Corridor that links the area to the major economic nodes such as Port Shepstone and Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal Province and Umtata in the Eastern Cape Province offers good investment opportunities. This alone gives Greater Kokstad an advantage of strategically re-aligning the district into a competitive and attractive investment destination. The strategic positioning of GKM is to be an area of choice for investors and the best place to visit and settle in. This positioning is informed by the strategic location of GKM within the district and neighbouring municipalities such as Umzimvubu, Matatiele, Ntabankulu and Mbizana. In addition, GKM enjoys a competitive advantage because of its relatively developed infrastructure. Tourism opporTuniTies
Z Mhlongo, Speaker
The tourism sector has enormous potential in the Greater Kokstad Municipality area and the municipality has identified the need to improve and enhance the sector. At the moment there is a growing interest in the area for its environmental, cultural and off-road experiences. This is an important economic sector in the municipality and requires careful stewardship of the environment by the municipality and government agencies. AgriculTurAl opporTuniTies
B Ntuli, Acting Municipal Manager
Agriculture is an important niche for the Greater Kokstad Municipality economy and even more important to the local culture. The municipality needs to consider the impacts on agriculture from all other economic activity and identify ways to preserve and strengthen this sector as a viable economic mainstream. There are various levels at which the stimulation of this sector can target the stimulating of agricultural practices for the purposes of commercial production, this aims at creating sustainable livelihoods and developing economic capacity. The “tried and tested” agricultural enterprises that dominate in the Greater Kokstad Municipality include: • Livestock: Dairy, beef and sheep; • Cropping: Potatoes, maize and vegetables; • Viable alternative crops: Soya, apples, berries and essential oils. indusTriAl opporTuniTies

Key Features of the Municipality The key feature is the N2 Development Corridor that links the area to the major economic nodes such as Port Shepstone and Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal Province and Umtata in the Eastern Cape Province. The town of Kokstad has a good location on the N2 between the north east and Umtata in the south. Other regional access roads include the R56 to Cedarville and Matatiele in the west and the R617 to Franklin, Swartberg, Underberg and Pietermaritzburg in the north. Greater Kokstad Municipality has developed itself into a growing regional service centre, which fulfils important economic and social roles in the greater region. The hinterland that relies on Kokstad is vast - reaching far into the Eastern Cape’s territory which is characterized by utmost poverty, unemployment, lack of services, poor infrastructure, and declining health and welfare as HIV/Aids torment the region. Kokstad serves this area of South Africa because of its central position and good accessibility.

Blue Flag Beaches
Ronnie Nair, Speaker
Over the previous years, Hibiscus Coast has enjoyed a Blue Flag status on some of its beaches and coastline, beaches such as Ramsgate, Lucien (Marine), Margate and Trafalgar. This translates to the South Coast being a leisure corridor and one SA’s most prominent tourist destinations.
Africa Bike Week Holiday resources, accommodation, entertainment, facilities and other tourist attractions are the pulling factors to the hosts of the largest bike event in Africa, and in fact the whole world. Africa Bike week attracts thousands of national and international visitors.
Multi-Purpose Community Centres (MPCC’s) Sbu Mkhize, Municipal Manager
The rural aspect of tourism can also be enjoyed through visiting the Multi-Purpose Community Centres (MPCC’s), whereby services are brought closer to the community so as to
access government services at the nodal points. MPCC’s provide opportunities for the poor and unemployed to enjoy surfing on the internet and to have access to other information services. These MPCC’s are based in the Bhomela, Kwa Xolo and Kwa Nzimakwe areas. .
Local Economic Development Projects
Tourists and visitors are at liberty to visit economic development projects, some of which will have spin-offs as far reaching as creating financial viability in the greater South Coast area. A selection of projects in the area include: Margate Airport, chicken abattoir at Kwa Xolo, Siyazenzela Project (Kwa Masinenge, Mkholombe and Louisiana), One Home One Garden in Tin Town, Rock Caves at Kwa Xolo, Gamalakhe Traders Village, banana grower in Mpenjathi, business licence, poverty alleviation, Port Shepstone Prison, Investment Proposal Program, Multi-Purpose Community Centres (Bhomela, Kwa Xolo and Kwa Nzimakwe), Rafters Program in Bhobhoyi, Business Retention Program, Solar Youth Development Project, sewing project at Kwa Xolo, and Co-operative Development.
Tourism and Agriculture Farming activities in the municipality include intensive and semi-intensive farming (sugarcane, bananas in the Umtamvuna area, and forestry), and non-commercial stockraising and crop production (mainly for home consumption) in the rural areas. The South Coast is the second-largest domestic tourism market after Durban, with about 2.2 million annual visitors. The towns along the coast are popular holiday resorts which offer a wide range of sports amenities and recreational activities. However, the rural areas that now form part of the municipality are relatively underdeveloped. Much property growth is currently underway with the establishment of new shopping complexes and residential developments.

NCP Mqwebu, Madam Mayor
On 31 May 2011, Hibiscus Coast Municipality (HCM) held the 4th Inaugural Council whereby 58 Councillors were sworn in, with the presence of stakeholders, as a symbol of commitment to serve all the community members. This commitment will be realised through aligning the municipality’s targets on service delivery to the municipality’s vision – ‘’To be a thriving, well-managed, tourist-friendly, national leader providing all its inhabitants with quality services in a safe and healthy environment’’. The Hibiscus Coast Municipality has its administrative seat in Port Shepstone and covers an area of approximately 90km of coastline comprising of 21 beaches, and extends 30km inland, covering a vast, rural area under the leadership of six tribal authorities. The municipality is the most concentrated economic hub within the Ugu District. The main features of the economy are tourism and agriculture, with some manufacturing centred around Port Shepstone. The largest town on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, Port Shepstone was founded in 1867 at the Mzimkulu River Mouth because of marble deposits found on the banks of the river. Many settlers of different origin boosted the town’s economy, which is built on agricultural and industrial wealth and safe, sunny beaches. Plans are afoot for the development of Port Shepstone as a regional economic and tourism hub for the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal.

The main features of the economy are tourism and agriculture, with some manufacturing centred around Port Shepstone. The Hibiscus Coast Municipality is the most concentrated economic hub within the Ugu District Municipality.
Agriculture
Councillor SB Cele, Speaker
Commercial agriculture in the district produces one-fifth of all bananas consumed in SA, as well as vegetables, sugar cane, tea, coffee and macadamia nuts. There are a number of businesses successfully exporting to some of the most exclusive packers in the UK. Ugu’s extensive wattle, gum, pine and poplar plantations are processed by about 200 small sawmills. There is potential for the establishment of new timber plantations and supporting industries, including biofuels using sugar cane and timber, and the processing of tea tree and aloe essential oils. The Ugu Fresh Produce Market provides retailing and limited agri-processing opportunities, as well as a link to the Durban and Eastern Cape markets. The market has a large area of land available for the expansion of agro-processing facilities ranging from fresh food to dry goods packaging. The Ugu Fresh Produce Market forms part of the network of markets in KZN linked to the Dube TradePort.
Tourism
Mr Luvuyo Mahlaka, Municipal Manager

Tourism is a major economy cultivator in the district and is based on the sea and associated activities. Ugu has a number of acclaimed Blue Flag beaches. The large waves are ideal for surfing and the countless bays boast model areas for sea kayaking, kitesurfing and scubadiving. Fishing along the coast is a popular sport for both locals and holidaymakers. “The Greatest Shoal on Earth” describes the huge number of sardines that leave Africa’s west coast to follow the plankton-rich, cold ocean current that flows up the south coast
during winter. 50 000 common and bottlenose dolphins, sharks, schools of game fish, seals and thousands of sea birds all follow the huge shoal, competing for nature’s bounty. The Ugu region offers unsurpassed natural wonders in the hinterland, with welcoming rural communities eager to share their culture and heritage. The Oribi Gorge offers sporting activities not for the faint-hearted, such as the Wild Swing, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, and many more. Agri-tourism, horse riding, hiking trails, and bird watching are but a few offerings from Umuziwabantu Municipality, where the town of Harding is located.
Tourism Investment Opportunites • The development of a conference centre to accommodate between 250 to 1000 people; • The development of the Hibberdene Small Craft Harbour; • Redevelopment of Margate Airport infrastructure to accommodate low cost carriers; • Redevelopment of the furniture industry in the district hotels and beachfront leisure facilities; • Development of tourist packages for international markets; and • African / Asian Cuisine Outlets.
Sport Sport has been identified as a valuable community development tool, particularly amongst the youth. The Ugu Sports & Leisure Centre is a high performance sports development centre. A major goal of the centre is to produce elite athletes from the Ugu region and nurture this talent towards national and international recognition.
Manufacturing The stable manufacturing base includes: clothing, textiles, metal products, food and beverages, and wood products. Ugu has the only ‘marble’ delta within the KZN Province, mined for cement and calcium carbonate. NPC CIMPOR, KwaZulu-Natal’s premier cement manufacturing company, has developed an R800 million operation in the Oribi Gorge region.
Investment Activity • Business Processing Outsourcing – Call centres (labour force has abundant skills and speaks diverse languages); • ICT / broadband roll-out as an enabler for growth and development; • Biofuel and alternative energies; • Warehousing; • The Park Rynie-Umzinto industrial areas provide a strategic link for any business that is within the value chain of companies that are based in the South Durban-Isipingo Industrial Basin; • Office accommodation – in the service centres of Harding and Port Shepstone; • Middle income housing development for the coastal area; • Creative industries – crafts, visual arts and performing arts; • Furniture, clothing and textile industries offer a wide range of prospects in the value chain.

Investment Opportunities A good working relationship with the local Amakhosi means that land is available for any developmental purposes, including agriculture, tourism and manufacturing sectors.
Tourism Attractions • Emakhosini Heritage Park (including Ophathe Game Reserve) - seven Zulu Kings were born/ buried here; • The Zulu Royal Annual Reed Dance at Enyokeni Royal Kraal near Nongoma - attracts thousands of overseas and local tourists; • Developments around Pongola Poort Dam - annual tiger fishing competition and boating activities - catches the attention of many visitors, including those from outside our shores. The tourism sector also has the capability for growth if well-nurtured. From the Seven Kings who lie buried in the South, to the Big Five in the North, the Zululand District Municipality surprises with its diversity and down-to-earth hospitality.

VZ KaMagwaza-Msibi, ZDM Mayor
Zululand is situated in the north-eastern part of KwaZulu-Natal, covering an area of approximately 14 810km². It is primarily a rural district with a population close to one million. Approximately half of the area is under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities, while the remainder is divided between commerciallyowned farms and conservation areas. Most of these rural settlements are small, making service delivery very costly. This district comprises of five local municipalities: Ulundi, Nongoma, uPhongolo, eDumbe and AbaQulusi. Vryheid and Ulundi are two urban centres of note in the district, respectively serving as a Regional Service and a Regional and Provincial Administrative centre. Other urban centres in the municipality provide residents with a wide range of social and commercial services, and are generally well-established. By the late 1990s, Zululand had experienced an economic decline due to the effects of an open market on coal mining and agriculture. By 2000, all but one (Zululand Anthracite Colliery) of the large-scale mining operations closed down, and this further exacerbated the unemployment problem. This was because a large number of people in this area were employed in the mines. Poor accessibility also adds fuel to the fire. Although tourism has started to play a larger role, this by no means fills the gap caused by the closing of the mines. That had a knock-on impact on all economic sectors and has been felt, particularly in Vryheid and its surrounds. This led to the growth of an informal sector (mainly petty commodity trading) which has grown considerably over the last decade, but has been constrained by the slump in primary and secondary sectors of the formal economy. Recent surveys have shown that Zululand’s potential for economic growth lies in the tourism and agricultural sectors. ZDM has high hopes that the declining economy will turn full circle by promoting self-reliance and sustainability among its residents. To further boost this, the ZDM has recently bought 41 tractors to add to the 40 bought for 36 Amakhosi under this district in 2006. This has brought the total number of tractors purchased thus far to more than 81, at an estimated cost of more than R15 million. After buying the first tractors in 2006, the district municipality immediately appointed an agricultural expert to teach people good farming methods/skills. “By producing their own food, we believe that people will be able to sustain themselves and fight both hunger and poverty by tilling the soil,” says the Honourable Mayor of the Zululand District Municipality, Councillor VZ KaMagwaza-Msibi. Every year the district municipality sets aside an amount of R5.4 million for LED projects (Local Economic Development) in the 89 wards. This aims at creating employment opportunities for local residents, alleviating poverty and redistributing resources and opportunities. Aware of the critical backlog in the water and sanitation provision, the ZDM is trying its best to correct this situation, hence a large chunk (40.1%), about R227 100 000 of its
Our Vision “We the people of Zululand are proud communities that are committed to the development of Zululand through hard work, integrity and common purpose.”

Limpopo, South Africa’s northern-most province, borders onto Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It also borders Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West provinces. Named after the Limpopo River that flows along its northern border, it is a region of contrasts, from true bushveld country to majestic mountains, primeval indigenous forests, unspoilt wilderness and patchworks of farmland. In the eastern region lies the northern half of the magnificent Kruger National Park. Limpopo ranks fifth in South Africa in both surface area and population, covering an area of 123 910km2 and being home to a population of approximately 5,4 million. The capital is Polokwane. Other major cities and towns include Bela-Bela, Lephalale, Louis Trichardt (Makhado), Musina, Thabazimbi and Tzaneen. Mining is the primary driver of economic activity. Limpopo is rich in mineral deposits, including platinum-group metals, iron ore, chromium, high and middle-grading coking coal, diamonds, antimony, phosphate and copper, as well as mineral reserves such as gold, emeralds, scheelite, magnetite, vermiculite, silicon and mica. The province is a typical developing area, exporting primary products and importing manufactured goods and services. The climatic conditions in the province allow for double harvesting seasons, which results in it being the largest producer of various crops in the agricultural market. Sunflowers, cotton, maize and peanuts are cultivated in the Bela-Bela-Modimolle area. Bananas, litchis, pineapples, mangoes and pawpaws, as well as a variety of nuts, are grown in the Tzaneen and Makhado areas. Extensive tea and coffee plantations create many employment opportunities in the Tzaneen area. The bushveld is cattle country, where controlled hunting is often combined with ranching. Limpopo is divided into five district municipalities which are further subdivided into 25 local municipalities.

growing together Developing local economies through integration
Local Economic Development (LED) – better expressed as developing local economies – is essentially an outcome: the result of the creation & support to an environment in which employment is created and retained in small to medium businesses, co-operatives and social enterprises. The farming community is a major player in local economic development in areas such as Limpopo which has an important rural economy. A key to developing such a local economy lies in the awareness & capacity to create such an environment, through a high level of co-operation between the public, private & non-profit sectors, and the contribution they can make to collectively achieving key landmarks such as the Millennium Goals & the Limpopo Employment, Growth & Development Plan. LLEDRC is uniquely situated in achieving these landmarks, as a nonprofit Association incorporated under Section 21 of the Companies Act. Its Board members reflect the basic stakeholder alliance, consisting of senior officials and representatives in Limpopo Province from CoGHSTA, the University of Limpopo and SALGA. The principle aim of LLEDRC is to contribute to the reduction of poverty, unemployment and marginalisation in South Africa and in Limpopo Province in particular, and to contribute to the attaining of the Millennium Goals, by stimulating job creation and the development of local economies, small businesses and cooperatives, through community participation and empowerment. The work of the LLEDRC is carried out through four interlinked
supporting Units: 1. Training & Capacity Building 2. Policy & Research 3. Knowledge & Information 4. Project Development & Implementation Through our Training & Capacity Building Unit we render services particularly to the district & local municipalities including communities to improve their economies. In this respect, the scope of the LLEDRC’s initial accreditation with LG-SETA has been extended to include Agri-SETA, Forestry SETA, and Services SETA to enable the extensive area of training and capacity to be adequately covered by the Resource Centre’s service in order to satisfy growing demand. LLEDRC undertakes and disseminates evidence-based policymaking research on pro-poor local economic growth, and manages and implements national and donor-funded programmes dealing with many aspects of pro-poor local economic development of a mainly rural nature. At the same time, it trains and capacitates office-bearers, councillors and officials, in government, municipal structures, co-operatives, and community property institutions to enable them better to develop their local economies. Let work together to achieve a better quality of life for all, remember our growth is in our hands.

Vision The home of excellence and opportunities for a better life.
Mission To provide quality services, in a cost-effective and efficient manner, through competent people, partnerships, information and knowledge management, creating sustained economic development in the interests of all stakeholders.
Overview
limpopo
Makgabo L Mapoulo, Executive Mayor
Situated centrally in Limpopo Province, Capricorn District Municipality (CDM) is the economic hub and includes the capital, Polokwane. Nearly 44% of the populations of CDM live in Polokwane, one of the fastest growing municipalities in the country. The district is well served by various major provincial roads and the N1 national road which links Gauteng to Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa. Gateway International is the only commercial airport in the region, serving both passenger and freight needs. Numerous private airstrips exits, mainly for the use of tourism and private purposes. The most important sources of income in CDM are the tourism industry and the informal sector (household spazas, hawking, peddling).More than 70% of households in Aganang, Blouberg and Molemole live below the bread-line. Despite relative poverty and unemployment, CDM is one of the highest contributors to the provincial gross domestic product and has fairly reasonable infrastructure that can build a solid foundation for economic development and growth.
Service Delivery Patrick Baloyi, Chief Whip
Lekganyane Nakedi Maria, Speaker
Since the advent of local government in 2000, the Capricorn District Municipality has always been renowned for excellence in service delivery. Progress, growth and development are key elements in our mandate that have characterised our existence in the history of local government. The resounding victory in the implementation of our projects epitomised our commitment to involving stakeholders and community in matters of government. We therefore owe our progress to all our partners. This is what gives us leverage to continue delivering on all our legislated KPA’s of every financial year, and those of the years to come. As we serve communities in five local municipalities namely Aganang, Blouberg, Molemole, Polokwane and Lepelle-Nkumpi,
we are continuing to live up to the vision of a true “home of excellence and opportunities for a better life”. Currently we are providing water to 87% of the district population and 755 schools in all our areas. Although a larger part of our district is predominantly rural, we have elevated our people’s dignity by benefiting over 19 000 households and 878 schools with decent sanitation facilities to date. We are therefore making strides to ensure universal access to water by 2014 and construct 264km of roads by 2012, and also to connect all villages to electricity by 2012, as espoused in the National Millennium Development Goals.
Business and Economic Ventures With more national aid and investment, we could do even more. For many in business, Capricorn is seen as a gateway to the heart of the SADC region, particularly as the district boasts one of the best infrastructure and logistics mechanisms in Limpopo, and with improved volumes of trade. As we are in close proximity with some countries in SADC, we believe economic ventures that take place in Capricorn and Limpopo would definitely have a ripple effect across all our borders into Botswana, Mozambique and beyond. This is the reason why we aptly call ourselves “the home of excellence and opportunities for a better life”, as our strategic location provides easy access to South African and African market opportunities. Doing business in Capricorn therefore means that you will also be contributing to the long-term economic stability of the Limpopo Province, South Africa and the SADC region. Notwithstanding that our economy is stronger and more resilient than ever before. In the recent past, we recorded a phenomenal growth rate of 6,0%, which came above the country’s average growth rate during the same period under review. The municipality is accordingly humbled by the role businesses play in doing their bit to partner with the public sector to move service delivery and infrastructure provision beyond the aims of immediate profiteering. With the municipality now in the new council term, the determination is to cajole all stakeholders to play a role in making Capricorn District Municipality the provider of quality services to meet the core aspirations of our people for a better life. Everybody’s dedication to the success of CDM also reaffirms our motto, which we are apt in saying, “Re Šoma Le Setšhaba”.

EPHRAIM MOGALE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY POSTAL: PO Box 111, Marble Hall, 0450 • PHYSICAL: 13 Ficus Street, Marble Hall • TEL: 013 261 8400 • FAX: 013 261 2985 • WEB: www.ephraimmogalelm.gov.za
Population and Basic Service Provision KN Kekana, Speaker
MF Ratau, Chief Whip
The population of the municipality is estimated to be 174 375. The population growth rate was derived from the latest DBSA growth rates. Their population estimates are based on low and high HIV/Aids impact scenarios. An average of their growth rates for each scenario were determined and applied. Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality is only providing electricity to Marble Hall town; electricity in other areas is provided by ESKOM. The municipality is also only providing street lights to the other areas, solid waste to Marble Hall and Leeuwfontein, and is currently battling with the huge backlog in respect of road construction. Water and sanitation is provided by Sekhukhune District Municipality, though there is currently a battle with the huge backlog of these two services, especially bulk water to Moutse West.
Agriculture The municipality is a major producer of citrus and table grapes, cotton and vegetables, with cattle ownership amongst subsistence farmers. There is significant growth in the agricultural economic sector at 21.2%. The agricultural economic sector is the largest employer which employs 31% of the active labour or the employees in the formal sector, private household employ 19%, community services – that is government or public services – employs 15%, and the trade sector employs 11%. The municipality is contributing only 1% towards the provincial value of production, economic activities of the Limpopo Province play a more important role within the economic activities of the Sekhukhune District Municipality, where it contributed 14% to the value of production during 2006.
Mining Mining is the second largest economic activity in the area after the discovery of marble in 1920, although this is not controlled. Sand mining is emerging as the second mining activity in the area. The sand is used for both building and plastering within the building industry.
Tourism The municipality has good tourism potential, offering farm tours and other visits to be enjoyed by travellers. Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality is also well known for its outstanding game farms and another fantastic facet is that it lies as the centre point to the appealing Flag Boshielo Dam, where numerous exciting water sports can be enjoyed by all, as well as the Matlala Aloe Park. Adjacent to the Flag Boshielo Dam, lies one of the biggest nature reserves in the municipality, the Schuinsdraai Nature Reserve and Leswena Nature Reserve. The municipality has other privately owned tourism attractions where visitors can enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings. The Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality is amongst the few rural municipalities in the country where one can enjoy the colourful diversity of cultural practices.

Mashimole Yvonne Mmakola, Executive Mayor
The municipality changed its name to Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality by an amendment of Section 12 notice in the Limpopo Provincial Gazette No. 1721, published in the general notice 10 of 2010, dated 28 January 2010, with a new logo and slogan – “Re hlabolla setshaba”, which means “We develop our people”. Ephraim Mogale is a semi urban local municipality. The municipality is one of the five municipalities that constitute Sekhukhune District Municipality in Limpopo Province. It was established after the 2000 local government elections with the amalgamation of Marble Hall New City Council, part of Moutse TLC (West), Leeuwfontein, a portion of Hlogotlou/Lepelle TRC, Greater Nebo North TRC, a portion of Naboomspruit/ RoedtanThusang TLC and Springbokvlakte TLC. The municipality was a cross-border between Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces. After the 2006 municipal elections it was incorporated into Limpopo Province and now lies at the border of the two abovementioned provinces. It is about 160km from Pretoria, about 150km from Polokwane, about 99km from Mokopane and about 112km to Middelburg. Its area covers about 1911.07km2. The amalgamation of parts of eight former Transitional Local Councils resulted in the establishment of the Ephraim Mogale Local Municipal area, with sixteen wards. It has one town (Marble Hall), two R293 towns (Regae and Leeuwfontein) and 67 villages.
Climate The average annual rainfall is about 634mm. Marble Hall boasts a pleasant climate with an average maximum winter temperature of 23ºC and an average maximum summer temperature of 29.5ºC.

Mpumalanga, the second smallest province in South Africa after Gauteng, is located in the north-eastern part of the country bordering Swaziland and Mozambique to the east. It also borders Limpopo, Gauteng, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal within South Africa. It covers an area of 79 490km2 and has a population of approximately 3,6 million, making it the sixth most populous in the country. It is situated mainly on the high plateau grasslands of the Middleveld, which roll eastwards for hundreds of kilometres. In the north-east, it rises towards mountain peaks and terminates in an immense escarpment. In some places, this escarpment plunges hundreds of metres down to the low-lying area known as the Lowveld. Mmbombela (Nelspruit) is the capital of the province and the administrative and business centre of the Lowveld. Other major cities and towns include eMalahleni (Witbank), Standerton, Piet Retief, Malelane, Ermelo, Barberton and Sabie. The best-performing sectors in the province include mining, manufacturing and services. Tourism and agriprocessing are potential growth sectors. Agriculture in Mpumalanga is characterised by a combination of commercialised farming, subsistence and livestock farming and emerging crop farming. Crops such as subtropical fruits, nuts, citrus, cotton, tobacco, wheat, vegetables, potatoes, sunflowers and maize are produced in the region. Mpumalanga is rich in coal reserves and home to South Africa’s major coal-fired power stations. eMalahleni is the biggest coal producer in Africa and is also the site of the country’s second oil-from-coal plant after Sasolburg. Most of the manufacturing production in Mpumalanga occurs in the southern Highveld region. In the Lowveld subregion, industries are concentrated around the manufacturing of products from agricultural and raw forestry material. Mpumalanga is divided into three district municipalities which are further subdivided into 18 local municipalities.

The vast and arid Northern Cape is the largest province in South Africa, taking up nearly a third of the country’s land area. It covers an area of 361 830km2 and has a population of approximately 1,1 million people, the least populous of South Africa’s provinces. It is bordered by Namibia and Botswana to the north and also by the North West, Free State, Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces. The cold Atlantic Ocean forms the province’s western boundary. The capital city is Kimberley. Other important towns are Upington, centre of the karakul sheep and dried-fruit industries, and the most northerly wine-making region of South Africa; Springbok, in the heart of the Namaqualand spring-flower country; Kuruman and De Aar, the second most important junction of South Africa’s railway network. Sutherland is host to the southern hemisphere’s largest astronomical observatory, the multinationalsponsored Southern African Large Telescope. The Northern Cape is rich in minerals. Alluvial diamonds are extracted from the beaches and the sea between Alexander Bay and Port Nolloth. The Sishen Mine near Kathu is the biggest source of iron ore in South Africa, while the copper mine at Okiep is one of the oldest mines in the country. Copper is also mined at Springbok and Aggeneys. The province is rich in asbestos, manganese, fluorspar, semi-precious stones and marble. The province has fertile agricultural land in the Orange River Valley, especially at Upington, Kakamas and Keimoes where grapes and fruit are cultivated intensively. The interior Karoo relies on sheep farming, while the karakul-pelt industry is one of the most important in the Gordonia district of Upington. Wheat, fruit, peanuts, maize and cotton are produced at the Vaalharts Irrigation Scheme near Warrenton. The Northern Cape is divided into five district municipalities and further subdivided into 27 local municipalities.

Vision The Frances Baard District Municipality will be a municipality with a clear developmental focus, providing quality services to all its people.
Mission “The Frances Baard District Municipality is committed to provide and improve the quality of services and therefore improve the lives of all its communities by:
Mr Brummer Maribe, Speaker
• Promoting Social and Economic Development • Providing and maintaining affordable and optimal quality services • The economic, efficient and effective utilisation of all its available resources, and; • Effective Stakeholders and Democratic Community Participation.” The main KPA’s for the district municipality in accordance with the five-year Local Government Strategic Agenda are: • Basic service delivery • Municipal Institutional Development and Transformation • Local Economic Development (LED) • Municipal Financial Viability and Management • Good governance and public participation.

Mining & quarrying Agriculture, fishing & forestry Manufacturing Construction Electricity, gas & water Finance, real estate & business service Transport, communication & storage Government
Agriculture, Manufacturing & Mining The region produces quality export fruit, vegetables and olives. In the Phokwane municipal area there is scope for secondary industry, like the processing of prime agricultural products. The Vaalharts irrigation scheme is the biggest in the southern hemisphere and is situated in the peninsula formed by the confluence of the Vaal and Harts Rivers, which run parallel for about 140km above their junction. Vaalharts is a place of a million trees and many streams. Water flows along a system of concrete canals, which meander from the weir in the Vaal River through the 1 250 agricultural holdings within the area. It lends itself to other industrial developments like leather and cotton production. In addition, there are some very scarce vegetation species and potential for further development around game farming activities.

targets set for the provision of basic services. • Water – 96% (DWA, 2010) of the households in the district have access to water supply. • Sanitation – 92% (DWA, 2010) of all the households in the district have access to sanitation facilities. • Electricity – 78% (Community Survey, 2007) of all households have access to electricity and we are on target to eradicate the backlog by 2012. Although access to municipal services such as water, electricity, sanitation and refuse removal in general is higher than the provincial average and compares favourably to the national average, the district municipality remains focused on eradicating backlogs concentrated in the three municipalities of Dikgatlong, Magareng and Phokwane.

Although predominantly a mining and agricultural region, the district also offers rich experiences in terms of culture and history. Two of the largest rivers, the orange and Vaal Rivers, flow through the district, which has a lot to offer visitors to the area. The climate is favourable for outdoor living with a great number of sunny days throughout the year. Some attractions are: • Mokala National Park, which contains a wide variety of wildlife; • St Mary’s Church, reportedly the oldest (1871) Anglican Church north of the orange River; • Canteen Kopje, now a nature reserve, marks the site of the first diamond diggings and the place where Stone Age tools were manufactured. In 1997 the world’s largest Stone Age axe was excavated here; • The alluvial diamond diggings, which are still operating using traditional panning methods; • Museums and the William Humphreys Art Gallery, known as one of country’s best; • The Anglo Boer War Battlefield Route, with its block houses and many historical monuments; • Kamfersdam, a breeding island for flamingos; • Wildebeest Kuil Rock Art Centre, housing rock engravings and art by the Khoisan people; • Numerous world-renowned wine cellars; and many more. 115

Mmsara Maneng, Speaker
The municipality strives to deliver basic services to its community by ensuring that there is water, sanitation and electricity. What are the challenges facing municipality at present? As a municipality we do not have popular tourist attractions in the area and our tourist activities are limited to game farming. To overcome this, the municipality has identified the area of Kiangkoop for possible development as a popular tourist destination featuring tourist activities that will appeal to a broader market.

The Witsand Nature Reserve is a truly beautiful spot to visit. Witsand is a rare jewel found in the treasure house of the Kalahari. This gorgeous nature reserve boasts a large, spectacular vista of creamy white dunes, 10km long and 5km wide, nestling in the folds of the surrounding red Kalahari dunes.
Historical Sites The Howitzer Cannon, which is located in front of the Civic Centre, is one of 12 cannons made available in 1949 by the then Department of Defence for erection as monuments. These cannons were used during World War Two (1939-1945). The Postmasburg Branch of the British Empire League (BESL) campaigned at the time to obtain one cannon, which was subsequently erected in honour of the men of Postmasburg who lost their lives.
Jan Tonyane, Chief Whip
The statue of Reverend Dirk Posma, who was born on 10 January 1818 and died on 18 December 1890, can be found in the middle of the Postmasburg CBD. He was the reverend of Gefomeerde Kerk in Suid Afrika and Postmasburg was named after him. The old Postmas diamond mine is about 5km from town and was discovered in 1919 by LTH Shone. Floods brought activities at the mine to an end in 1935. The open cast excavations are about 45m deep and the hole contains clear perennial water almost to capacity. Limited fresh water angling is possible. The terrain lends itself to picnicking and further development here is considered.

North West lies in the north of South Africa on the Botswana border, fringed by the Kalahari desert in the west, Gauteng province to the east and the Free State to the south. It covers an area of 116 320km2 and has a population of approximately 3,2 million. Much of the province consists of flat areas of scattered trees and grassland. The Vaal River flows along the southern border of the province. Mahikeng (previously Mafikeng) is the capital. The city lies near the Botswana border and forms a single urban area with its neighbouring town, Mmabatho. Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp are the biggest cities in the province. Other main towns are Brits, Rustenburg, Klerksdorp and Lichtenburg. Most economic activity is concentrated in the southern region between Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, as well as Rustenburg and the eastern region. Mining is the major contributor to the North West economy and represents almost a quarter of South Africa’s mining industry as a whole. The Rustenburg and Brits districts produce more platinum than any other single area in the world. North West also produces a quarter of South Africa’s gold, as well as granite, marble, fluorspar and diamonds. North West has a number of major tourist attractions, including the internationally famous Sun City, the Pilanesberg National Park, the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Rustenburg Nature Reserve. North West is well known for cattle farming while the areas around Rustenburg and Brits are fertile, mixed-crop farming land. Maize and sunflowers are the most important crops and the province is the major producer of white maize in the country. North West is divided into four district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 20 local municipalities.

Boskuil – Water augmentation Approximately 70% of the Boskuil village has access to communal tap water, in other words all the households on the eastern side of the village, and the remaining 30% have none at all. The augmentation project is meant to extend the communal water network to the western part of the village. The project started in May this year and has been successfully completed; meaning that 100% of the 200 households will receive water at RDP standard – communal taps located approximately 200m apart.

G.I.R.R.L – a Novel phase in Disaster Risk Management
protecting and embracing human dignity – a focus on its most deprived rural communities.
Spearheaded by the District Disaster Risk Management Centre and the African Centre for Disaster Studies-NWU, the project restores hope in communities residing in at least three of the major four townships located in local municipalities that make up the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality in the North West Province. It is designed to increase knowledge for empowerment, to encourage leadership development and to improve the resilience of marginalized, Black South African adolescent girls while helping to integrate them into DRR initiatives. With the research findings supporting the notion that young people – with adolescent girls as a targeted group – showed that when empowered, they can defy sociallyderived roles as victims of HIV/AIDS, STD’s, cholera, drugs, sexual violence, prostitution and teenage pregnancy. In the latest initiative, the project sees another positive step following the fourth launch of the G.I.R.R.L. Project in Orkney, Matlosana. Chosen girl learners from Selang Thuto School from Kanana Township completed the first phase structures of a firm foundation aimed at resuscitating self-worth of young women living in informal settlements. This is achieved through encouragement to share their knowledge with community members for the expressed intent of improving the overall resilience of their area. Since 2007 the Project has grown, as has its positive impact which led to the overwhelming support from World Bank. By 2008, the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality had approved funding for replication of the G.I.R.R.L Project at Reabona High School in Wolmaransstad (Maquassi Hills) and Thuto Boswa High School in Ventersdorp after a resounding success of the initial project at Boitshoko High School in Tlokwe. The project was selected by an international panel to be included as a Best Practice for the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction based on its contributions to Gender, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction (Gender Perspectives: Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction into Climate Change Adaptation, 2008).
Oersonskraal and Boskuil cpa Oersonskraal village is situated approximately 2km south of Boskuil village. With the district‘s vision of “Exploring prosperity through sustainable service delivery for all”, the district municipality intervened in this rural community with the provision of sanitation facilities. The area has been identified as a nodal point in the presidential war room on the poverty program’s nationwide campaign to reduce poverty among the country’s poorest citizens, being the most deprived households identified in the poorest wards. In this case, Oersonskraal, as one such ward, has approximately 120 informal households and adjacent to where this community is located 120 sites have been declared. However, the community is reluctant to relocate there due to lack of basic services like water, sanitation and housing. The district municipality agreed with the community that ninety one VIP toilets will be provided to be shared proportionally by the households, and the additional unit is to be constructed with the planned housing project. The project was completed in June 2011 and the community were able to access proper sanitation facilities.

The Western Cape is located on the southern tip of the African continent between the Indian and Atlantic oceans. It is bordered by the Northern Cape and Eastern Cape provinces. The Western Cape’s natural beauty makes the province one of the world’s greatest tourist attractions. The region is topographically and climatically diverse. It has a temperate southern coastline fringed with mountains. To the north it stretches deep into the Karoo plateau, while the west coast is extremely dry. It covers an area of 129 370km2 and has a population of approximately 5,2 million. It is the fourth largest province in South Africa by surface area and also ranks fourth in population. The capital is Cape Town. Other major cities and towns include George, Knysna, Paarl, Swellendam, Oudtshoorn, Stellenbosch, Worcester, Mossel Bay and Strand. The Western Cape is rich in agriculture and fisheries. The climate of the peninsula and the mountainous region beyond it is ideal for grape cultivation, with a number of vineyards producing excellent wines. Other fruit and vegetables are also grown here, and wheat is an important crop to the north and east of Cape Town. Fishing is the most important industry along the west coast and sheep farming is the mainstay of the Karoo. The province has a well established industrial and business base and the lowest unemployment rate in the country. Sectors such as finance, real estate, ICT, retail and tourism have shown substantial growth, and are the main contributors to the regional economy. Many of South Africa’s major insurance companies and banks are based in the Western Cape. The majority of the country’s petroleum companies and the largest segment of the printing and publishing industry are located in Cape Town. The Western Cape is divided into one metropolitan municipality (City of Cape Town) and five district municipalities which are further subdivided into 24 local municipalities.

The City of Cape Town as the municipal entity of today is eleven years old. However, the Mother City has the oldest municipal structure in the country, going back to its first council meeting held on 8 April 1652 – on a sailing ship anchored in Table Bay. The current structure was formed in December 2000, following the amalgamation of seven former municipalities to create one ‘unicity’. The City has a staff complement of just over 25 000 employees, and a budget of R27,1 billion (a capital budget of R5 070 billion and an operating budget of R22,1 billion), delivering services to 3,7 million residents across an area of 2 455 km2. Cape Town produces 10,58% of South Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) and accounts for more than 71% of the Western Cape’s economic activity. The City has a diversified economy, and the three biggest sectors are finance, insurance, property and business services; manufacturing; and wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation – much of which is tourismdriven. Cape Town is Africa’s most-visited tourist destination, and the recipient of numerous travel and destination awards. Tourism is driven in part by Cape Town’s unique natural beauty and biodiversity. The City falls within the Cape Floristic Kingdom, one of the world’s six floral kingdoms. Its extraordinary range of plant species is so rich in diversity that Cape Town alone has more species within its 22 000 hectares than the whole of the British Isles or New Zealand. More than 70% of these species are found nowhere else on the planet. Cape Town is unique in being the only South African metro that encloses a national park and World Heritage Site. Preserving and protecting the area’s sensitive biodiversity in a rapidlyexpanding urban hub poses unique challenges for the enabling municipality. Like other South African metros, Cape Town is characterised by a fast-growing population, with an estimated annual growth rate of 3%. Migration from rural areas and other provinces is on the increase. The population is projected to grow to at least 4,3 million by 2031, a factor that drives strategies in medium and long-term planning.
Key Challenges Cape Town’s other key challenges include the following: • While the health profile is improving, poverty persists, with poor communities living on the
periphery of the city. • The City’s social fabric is undermined by social marginalisation and by social criminality related to substance abuse. • Large proportions of Cape Town’s population are unskilled and unemployed, while the traditional high-labour-absorbing industries (such as the textile industry) are in decline. • Combating social marginalisation and building trust and community between population groups in Cape Town will require a more compact city form, with ample green and open public space to facilitate social interaction and play. • Many young people emerge from the current education system with low to medium-level skills that do not meet the needs of the job market. • In order to capitalise on the potential knowledge economy, Cape Town needs to invest in the soft (human capacity) and hard (fibre optic networks) infrastructure that will yield the optimal conditions for a knowledgebased economy to flourish. • The rate of urban development is placing undue pressure on Cape Town’s natural and cultural resources. This calls for action by the City to support ways to conserve and enrich the existing natural and cultural landscape, from the neighbourhood to the city level. • As a consequence of climate change, Cape Town is facing possible water scarcity with the potential knock-on effect of food insecurity. The City needs to intensify its focus on water demand management and explore and secure alternative water sources. • The emerging possibility of a global oil scarcity requires that Cape Town maps all the alternative energy solutions potentially available including good-quality public, hybrid (electric) and non-motorised transport alternatives, as well as alternative local energy generation and storage solutions.
Notable Successes For the past five years, the City has implemented a policy of infrastructure-led growth and development. By providing and maintaining infrastructure and services, it lays the foundation for economic growth and job opportunities. Over this period, the City has achieved several successes. In 2011, it received its seventh unqualified audit from the AuditorGeneral. In addition, Moody’s, a global rating agency, confirmed Cape Town’s top rating of ‘Aa2.za with a stable outlook’ for the sixth consecutive year. This rating has helped the City to fund development by issuing three bonds, which have raised R4,2 billion as part of the city’s R7 billion domestic mediumterm note programme, and are listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The City has been granted levels 1 and 2 housing accreditation, which allows it to implement national housing programmes; receive funding directly from National Treasury; and assume responsibility for beneficiary management, subsidy budget planning and allocation, and priority programme management and administration. This
being expanded up to Atlantis. The system is an unprecedented success, providing affordable and reliable transport. Future phases include service to the high-density under-serviced areas of Langa, Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s Plain to the east of the city. Successfully addressing service backlogs and providing new infrastructure was substantially boosted by being a 2010 FIFA World CupTM host city, which also gave Cape Town invaluable international exposure. This exposure has been instrumental in Table Mountain being voted one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the World, an award that will boost tourism substantially, and Cape Town being chosen as the World Design Capital 2014, an accolade that will further position the City as a global centre of innovation.

accreditation is already paying dividends in terms of the City’s ability to speed up the delivery of housing across the metro. The City collected 94,39% of billing for rates and services as revenue during the past financial year, and spent 83,0% of its capital budget and 97,4% of the operating budget. In 2009, 99,6% of all households had access to piped water, with 76,7% having piped water in their dwelling and 14,7% in their yard. Only 0,3% of all households rely on access to piped water that is more than 200m from their dwelling. In 2009, 89,7% of all households were connected to mains electricity supply, with 53,7% of these households being supplied by the City and the balance by Eskom. Refuse was removed from 95,0% of all households in 2009, either by the city or by businesses contracted for this. A total of 93,2% of households had access to a toilet connected to the public sewer system in 2009. Another 0,8% had access to a flush toilet connected to a septic tank, a chemical toilet or a ventilated pit toilet, all of which are considered by national standards to be acceptable as a basic level of service. The City’s historic geographic fragmentation has created a social anomaly that council is addressing through economic development and job creation, education, housing in more accessible areas, and its Integrated Rapid Transit (IRT) Programme. The IRT is working at providing elements of an effective and efficient road-based public transport system consisting of a network of bus rapid transit (BRT) services, support feeder bus services, and infrastructure that integrates with other transit modes into a high-quality city-wide transit network. The MyCiTi bus system, initiated three years ago, connects West Coast areas not serviced by rail to the city centre and is
The Five Pillars Building on these successes, the City has developed a sustainable strategy for the future, the ‘five pillars’ approach. The five interrelated pillars are to provide: the opportunity City; the safe City; the caring City; the inclusive City, and the well-run City as follows: • The opportunity City will be one in which conditions attract investment and, thus, job opportunities. • The safe City, through community and stakeholder involvement, will mean freedom from fear of crime, and safer streets for all. • The caring City is one where all citizens, particularly those most in need, have access to basic services. • The inclusive City is one where every resident has a say and a stake in the future, and where community involvement in decision making is important. • The well-run City means a transparent and corruption-free local government, which is receptive to the needs of its citizens. This five pillar strategy informs the

City’s primary planning tool, the five-year Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The IDP is, in turn, shaped by policies relating to spacial development, transport, housing, social development, economic growth, environmental stewardship, and more.

Delina Goedeman, Executive Mayor
Rhenda Stephan, Speaker
Dean O’Neill, Municipal Manager
The Matzikama Municipality is a category B municipality proclaimed in terms of Provincial Notice 481/2000. The municipality comprises of the towns and villages of Klawer, Vanrhynsdorp, Lutzville, Vredendal, Ebenhaeser, Papendorp, Koekenaap, Doringbay and Strandfontein. It is characterised by an arid environment, but is served by the life-giving arterial, namely the Olifants River. The river, with its associated canal systems, supports a flourishing agricultural sector that is mainly built on viniculture. The population within the municipal area is therefore concentrated along the river, except for Doringbay and Strandfontein. These towns are located along the coast and are traditional fishing and holiday towns. After the local government elections in May 2011, the borders of the municipality were expanded to include the West Coast District Management Area that borders with the Northern Cape Province. This area comprises mainly of small towns and settlements like Bitterfontein, Nuwerus, Kliprand and Stofkraal. The area is dependent on the following economic activities: • Agriculture (grapevines, vegetables and livestock) • Processing of agriculture products • Mining • Fishing • Tourism • The services sector (government services). Vredendal is by far the largest town in the area and due to its central location, the logical economic and administrative centre. The first principle of the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) states that “Economic growth is a prerequisite for the achievement of other policy objectives, key among which would be poverty alleviation”. The council of Matzikama Municipality believes that unless we make economic development a priority, we will not achieve our vision, which in turn will deprive our communities of good, quality service delivery, our ultimate objective. Thus, in aligning our vision and strategies to those of the NSDP, PGDS and DGDS, we recognise that a developed local economy would be a prerequisite for effective and efficient service delivery in Local Government. The municipality is thus actively promoting and developing infrastructure that is conducive to the enhancement of the local economy, and that will attract new business to its jurisdictional area. In addition, it also needs to ensure that the bulk services like water, sewerage and electricity are planned and upgraded in such a way that the municipality will be able to support any new developments in future.
Basic Services According to the last annual report, the municipality is doing quite well in terms of delivering basic services to its populace. The percentages of the total approved budget spent on each municipal service for the 2009/2010 financial year were as follows:
142
Housing
15.18%
Water
1.29 %
Sanitation
39.32%
Refuse removal
0%
Electricity
12.46%
Streets and Storm water
11.80%
Community Facilities
2.08%
As can be seen from the above, the capital budget was dedicated mainly to the provision and upgrade of the sanitation services within the municipality, as well as housing, electricity, and streets and storm water. These are also the areas where backlogs are experienced and thus the reason for the focus of the budget. The total percentage of the capital budget spent was 90% for the same financial year and 10% was carried over to the next year. Access of households to bAsic services in 2009/2010 Are listed below: Water
100%
Sanitation
98%
Electricity
97%
Refuse removal
99 %
These figures are indicative of the households within the formal townships and do not include the households on the surrounding farms. Furthermore, the municipality has also received unqualified audit outcomes for the past four years, which shows that it is serious in ensuring that the financial position of the municipality is sound, and that sufficient controls are in place to curb corruption and unethical behaviour.
Tourism This sector mainly focuses on eco-tourism. Matzikama is home to some of South Africa’s most diverse flora. From the dainty daisies and other wild flowers during the first few weeks of spring, to the more robust succulents, as well as the mountains and beaches, tourists visiting the area are spoilt for choice with regards to activities. Unfortunately this is mostly based on the flowering and summer seasons and the municipality, together with the local tourism association, is currently exploring alternatives to attract tourists to the area all year round.

The LocaL GovernmenT handbook: South AfricA 2012 The Local Government Handbook: South Africa provides a complete, yet concise overview of all municipalities in South Africa. With 278 municipalities and numerous demarcation, name and other changes over the years it can be bewildering to anyone not closely associated with local government to form a clear picture of how the local government layer of South Africa fits together. The Handbook aims to provide a clearer understanding of each municipality and its place in South Africa as well as providing a useful directory of important office bearers and contact details in each municipality.
