1. Introduction The Human Resource Development Council of South Africa (HRDC) is a national, multitiered and multistakeholder advisory body under the leadership and ste ardship of the o ce of the eputy President of South Africa, honourable Cyril Ramaphosa. It is managed by the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande. The multi-sectoral advisory HRDC was established in March 2010. Membership is represented by a number of Government Ministers as well as senior business leaders, organised labour and representatives from academia and civil society who serve on the HRDC Council. Honourable Cyril Ramaphosa has a long history and experience with issues of human development, which include his involvement in an initiative to train Actuaries in South Africa, his participation as the chairperson of the Constitutional Assembly, and his chairmanship on the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) Ministerial Task Team (MTT) for the review of the funding model for universities. These experiences have put him in good stead to chair the Council.

FOREWORD MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Local government is the coalface of governance and service delivery for South Africa’s people. While much of the media focus falls on national and provincial government, it is local government and the provision of housing, water, electricity, waste removal and other basic services that has most impact on our daily lives. To a large degree, the success or failure of local government is the success or failure of South Africa. It is no secret that serious challenges exist in many municipalities. Regular service delivery protests, numerous political and provincial government interventions, and ongoing reports of corruption and incompetence dominate the media. The overall statistics do not paint a rosy picture, amongst them: 15 municipalities are under provincial administration due to (almost total) dysfunction, and 157 municipalities (56% of the total number) achieved either a qualified, adverse or disclaimed audit opinion in the 2012/13 financial year – meaning the financial statements, as reported, contain material misstatements and cannot be fully relied upon. It would, however, be a disservice to many working municipalities and municipal officials to assume that all are dysfunctional and corrupt. We are fortunate that, due to the work of many government institutions, a wealth of data is available on the affairs of local government. Of course, the data is not always perfect, or easily accessible, but a careful reading can create meaningful pictures. As we have done since 2009, we strive to present the information in a dispassionate, coherent, consolidated and comparative manner in an effort to create a fair and accurate view of the state of each municipality. With so much data available, and the space constraints that go with a print publication, it is not practical to include it all in this Handbook. The Handbook is therefore designed to be used in conjunction with our website – www.municipalities.co.za – where more extensive information is available in most areas. The website is SA’s leading online source of consolidated municipal information and attracts more than a million visitors per year.

SOURCES METHODOLOGY, SOURCES AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We have taken care to collect, capture and, where possible, cross-reference the information contained in this Handbook as accurately as possible. However, it should be recognised that some types of information included in the Handbook change frequently. It is inevitable that some of the information will be incorrect at source and/or become outdated during and after publication. We, therefore, take no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this Handbook. Where appropriate, we reference the original source reports, enabling you to refer to the original if needed.

MAIN ECONOMIC SECTORS The information regarding main economic sectors is sourced from municipalitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest available Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). Links to the relevant IDPs are available on our website at www.municipalities.co.za.

DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION The information listed is sourced from the Census 2011 Municipal Fact Sheet, published by Statistics South Africa (Report No. 03-01-58). The original document can be obtained at www.statssa.gov.za.

COMPOSITION OF MUNICIPAL COUNCILS The information listed is based on information published by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). The information has been updated to include municipal by-election results up to 17 September 2014 in respect of all Metropolitan and Local Municipalities. With regards to District Municipalities, the information is sourced from the latest Annual Report of the municipality concerned or supplied by the relevant municipality. For more information on the IEC, please refer to www.elections.org.za.

AUDIT OUTCOMES The information regarding audit outcomes is sourced from the Consolidated general report on the audit outcomes of local government, published annually by the Auditor-General South Africa (AGSA). The full reports are available from AGSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices or at www.agsa.co.za.

SOURCES

This Handbook is the sister-publication of the website www.municipalities.co.za. In many instances more extensive information is available on the website. The website often provides direct links to the relevant source reports. It is not practical to do so in the Handbook. The website is also updated on a continuous basis throughout the year. If you notice any errors or omissions, please contact us at info@municipalities.co.za so that we may immediately correct it on the website and also in future editions of the Handbook.

MUNICIPAL SURVEY PROCESS

The terminology used is described by AGSA as follows:

Some of the information in this directory is collected via an annual survey that we conduct with all municipalities. While we go to great efforts to gather complete and accurate information, some municipalities are more responsive than others. The information fields that are primarily reliant on survey are those related to municipal contact details and descriptions, political and administrative personnel, as well as LED information. The information is cross-referenced and verified against other sources but, especially personnel information, changes frequently and without notice.

Clean audit outcome: The financial statements are free from material misstatements (in other words, a financially unqualified audit opinion) and there are no material findings on the quality of the annual performance report or non-compliance with legislation.

The information contained in the municipal Sponsored Profile pages is provided by the municipalities concerned. It is not independently verified.

Qualified audit opinion: The financial statements contain material misstatements in specific amounts, or there is insufficient evidence for the Auditor-General to conclude that specific amounts included in the financial statements are not materially misstated.

Financially unqualified with findings: The financial statements contain no material misstatements. Unless the Auditor-General expresses a clean audit outcome, findings have been raised on either the annual performance report or non-compliance with legislation, or both these aspects.

MUNICIPAL AREA AND MAPS The municipal area information was supplied by the Municipal Demarcation Board. All the underlying source material for the maps was supplied by the GIS/IT department of the Board. For more information on the Municipal Demarcation Board, please refer to www.demarcation.org.za.

Adverse audit opinion: The financial statements contain material misstatements that are not confined to specific amounts, or the misstatements represent a substantial portion of the financial statements. (Continued on page 17)

Disclaimer of audit opinion: The auditee provided insufficient evidence in the form of documentation on which to base an audit opinion. The lack of sufficient evidence is not confined to specific amounts, or represents a substantial portion of the information contained in the financial statements. The Handbook includes financial figures and information in respect of the 2013/14 financial year. At the time of compiling the information in this edition, the 2013/14 audits were still being conducted by AGSA and reports for the 2013/14 year were generally not available. The audit result is therefore shown as ‘n/a’ or ‘not available’.

•

differ from figures shown in the Audited Financial Statements. Where we have captured figures directly from the Audited Financial Statements, we have endeavoured to follow the S71 Schedule C format. The figures reflected in the Handbook for ‘Total Revenue’ include ‘Transfers recognised – capital’ and ‘Contributions recognised – capital & contributed assets’ as per the S71 Schedule C format. The figures reflected for ‘Surplus/(Deficit)’ are the ‘Surplus/ (Deficit) after capital transfers & contributions’ plus the ‘Share of surplus/(deficit) of associate’. All financial figures are rounded to the nearest R’000. R0 values are reflected as ‘-’. Values that are unavailable are reflected as ‘n/a’. If a municipality has municipal entities under its control, the figures reflect the combined group.

The figures reflected for Unauthorised, Irregular, Fruitless and Wasteful (UIFW) Expenditure are primarily as published in the Consolidated General Report on the audit outcomes of local government or as supplied to us directly by AGSA. If the figures are unavailable in this report, they may be sourced from the Annual Financial Statements of the relevant municipality. The figures for each municipality include municipal entities under its control. It must also be noted that, while we have aggregated the figures for the purpose of the Handbook, each type of expenditure in this total is distinctly different in nature. The terminology is described by AGSA as follows:

FINANCIAL INFORMATION More comprehensive financial information is available on our website at www.municipalities.co.za. The individual sources are also indicated and links to the relevant source documentation are provided under the Links/Resources section for each municipality. Financial information is sourced from the MFMA S71 4th Quarter Schedule C reports, made available by the National Treasury on its website at mfma.treasury.gov.za. In general: • 2013/14 figures are unaudited year-end figures, sourced from the 2013/14 S71 4th Quarter Schedule C reports. • 2012/13 figures are prior-year audited figures, sourced from the 2013/14 S71 Schedule C reports. • 2011/12 figures are prior-year audited figures, sourced from the 2012/13 S71 Schedule C reports. • If the relevant S71 Schedule C figures, or a part or section of the figures, are unavailable, figures may be taken from the relevant Audited Financial Statements. The source will then be indicated as ‘AFS’ on the website. • S71 Schedule C reports are submitted in the format for monthly and quarterly municipal financial statements as prescribed by the Municipal Budget and Reporting Regulations. S71 Schedule C figures are standardised to the prescribed format and may

Unauthorised Expenditure: Expenditure that was in excess of the amount budgeted or allocated by government to the auditee, or that was not incurred in accordance with the purpose for which it was intended.

UNAUTHORISED, IRREGULAR, FRUITLESS AND WASTEFUL (UIFW) EXPENDITURE

Irregular Expenditure: Expenditure incurred without complying with applicable legislation. Fruitless and wasteful expenditure: Expenditure that was made in vain and could have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised. This includes penalties and interest on late payments, as well as payments for services not utilised or goods not received. The separate figures for each type of expenditure are available at www.municipalities.co.za.

EMPLOYMENT STATISTICS More comprehensive employment statistics are available on our website at www.municipalities.co.za. Employment statistics are sourced from the Non-financial census of municipalities, published annually by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA). In particular, the municipal data in this edition is sourced from the Statistical Release P9115 Unit Data, made available at www.statssa.gov.za. (Continued on page 19)

2014/12/03 9:50 AM

SOURCES The data is collected by Stats SA by method of a questionnaire completed by the relevant municipalities. The methods used by Statistics South Africa for collection include personal visits, telephone, fax, email and post. When assessing the employment data, it should be noted that: • The data is self-reported by the municipalities concerned and is not audited at individual level. • Municipalities may have reported vacancies on a differing basis, depending on different interpretations of the reporting of funded and/or unfunded positions. Some municipalities indicated no vacancies at all in the surveys. • ‘Total Employment Positions’ (in our reporting) combines full-time, part-time and vacant positions. Significant variances in year-on-year numbers may, in some instances, be explained by increases or decreases in temporary or part-time positions. • ‘Managerial Positions’ (in our reporting) combines S57 managerial positions (as defined by the Local Government Municipal Systems Act) and all other managerial positions according to the municipal organogram. • The P9115 statistical release contains the preliminary results of the 2013 Non-financial census of municipalities and the revised figures for 2012. In the event of revised figures being obtained for 2013, they will be incorporated into the 2014 Non-financial census of municipalities (if applicable). • ‘Total Employment Cost’ (in our reporting) combines ‘Employee costs’ and ‘Remuneration of councillors’ as sourced from the MFMA S71 4th Quarter Schedule C reports (see Financial Information above). •

SERVICE DELIVERY STATISTICS More comprehensive service delivery statistics are available on our website at www.municipalities.co.za. Service delivery statistics are sourced from the Non-financial census of municipalities, published annually by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA). In particular, in this edition, the municipal data is sourced from the Statistical Release P9115 Unit Data made available at www.statssa.gov.za. The data is collected by Stats SA by method of a questionnaire completed by the relevant municipalities. The methods used by Statistics South Africa for collection include personal visits, telephone, fax, email and post. When assessing the service delivery data, it should be noted that: • The data is self-reported by the municipalities concerned and is not audited at individual level. • The data is not necessarily comparable with the Stats SA population census of 2011 and/or household survey data, mainly due to: - the data source being municipalities as opposed to households - the different definitions of household - differing reporting periods. • ‘Households’, as reflected in this data, is defined as a domestic entity to which the service is provided and which receives one bill (if the service is billed), alternatively known as a delivery

•

point. This concept is often referred to as a household by municipalities, but this is not strictly correct, as households and consumer units do not coincide one-to-one, particularly in blocks of flats, on stands where there are multiple households in the same dwelling or in additional dwellings, such as garden flats, backyard rooms, etc. and in the case of public taps. Most municipalities do not have a system for identifying multiple households served by one billing unit or delivery point. ‘Households – Free Basic Services’ means the number of Households that have access to free basic services. Where a municipality has implemented broad-based targeting or technical targeting to allocate free basic services, everyone may receive a basic level of free services e.g. the first 6Kl of water. In this case the figures for free basic services may be equal to the total number of Households served. ‘Total Customer Entities Served’ includes both domestic Households and non-domestic consumer units, e.g. industrial, commercial, schools, clinics and hospitals, government departments, etc. Not all municipalities have a system to distinguish domestic Households and non-domestic consumer units. The P9115 statistical release contains the preliminary results of the 2013 Non-financial census of municipalities and the revised figures for 2012. In the event of revised figures being obtained for 2013, they will be incorporated into the 2014 Non-financial census of municipalities (if applicable).

Justice in Adjudication

WHO IS THE ROAD TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT AGENCY?

The Road Tra c Infringement Agency (RTIA) is the independent adjudicator or arbiter of tra c infringements and fines issued under the Administrative Adjudication of Road Tra c O ences (AARTO) Act. As an adjudicator we ensure that all matters that arise from these road tra c fines are resolved fairly. This is done through ensuring that tra c fines are decriminalised and dealt with through the administrative justice process to free the courts to deal with more serious crimes. The RTIA protects the lives of road users by ensuring that transgressors of tra c laws are penalised and repeat o enders are punished appropriately. This will ensure that South African roads are safer and that the high numbers of fatalities are curbed. The AARTO Act authorises the RTIA to administer a fair process that creates a balance between tra c authorities and road users.

WHAT IS OUR VISION?

At the RTIA we envision an informed, compliant and safe road user community.

HOW WE HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR TRAFFIC FINES?

When you are served with an infringement notice or issued a ticket under the AARTO Act, you can elect to exercise one of the following options: • pay the penalty in full; or • pay in instalments; or • make a representation; or • nominate a driver; or • elect to be tried in court.

HOW AND WHERE DO I PAY MY TRAFFIC FINES?

Cash payments can be made at: • A SA • Post O ce • Tra c Departments Online payment can be made through: • F • Standard ank • A SA • www.paycity.co. a

WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

Our mission is to encourage compliance with road tra c laws.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE OUR VISION AND MISSION?

• we provide targeted road user and community education and communication programmes; • we promote procedurally fair, lawful and reasonable administrative adjudication; • we levy penalties; • we impose demerit points; • we e ectively administer and manage the suspension and cancellation of driving licences and operator cards; and • we reward compliant o enders.

EASY-PEASY AARTO

Road crashes happen as a result of road users not abiding by the rules of the road. AARTO is designed to help correct this behaviour and decrease the number of accidents on South African roads. AARTO has a three stage process that helps infringers manage their traffic fines and exercise other options outlined in the Act. This process allows traffic violations to be decriminalised and dealt with speedily.

HOW TO SPEAK AARTO?

The Administrative Adjudication of Road Tra c O ences (AARTO) Act promotes safety and quality by providing a scheme to discourage road tra c contraventions; facilitate adjudication of road tra c infringements; and implement a points demerit system.

The ational Tra c Information System (e aTIS) is the system that holds all information in respect of vehicle and driver details in South Africa. A part of the e aTIS is the ational ontraventions Register, which holds a record of all tra c infringements and o ences.

An infringement is the failure to observe the law.

HOW DO REPRESENTATIONS WORK?

An infringer is a person who is alleged to have broken the law. An infringement notice is a notification sent or given to an alleged infringer. An issuing authority is the tra c law enforcement authority or department that issues the infringement notice. This includes ational, Provincial and Local tra c authorities. A penalty is the amount payable by an infringer for an infringement. A representation o cer is a person appointed by the RTIA to consider representations when an alleged infringer elects to make a representation. ou can send a filled in AARTO 08 form to representations rtia.co. a. A representation is when an infringer challenges the infringement notice and gives reasons why s/he cannot be held accountable for that infringement. An enforcement order is issued after an infringer has failed to take any action with regards to an infringement notice or courtesy letter. The enforcement order blocks the infringer’s status on the e aTIS. To get the enforcement order removed, you need to apply for it to be revoked by filling in an AARTO 14 form and sending it to revocation rtia.co. a.

An infringer who has been served with an infringement notice is alleged to have committed a tra c infringement and may make representation with respect to that infringement to the RTIA. If the infringer has not received acknowledgment of receipt from the RTIA within 21 days from the date on which the infringer submitted representation, the infringer must notify the RTIA. Representations can only be submitted for infringements still in courtesy letter stage. The RTIA should inform an infringer of the decision of the representation o cer after the stipulated time frame of 21 days. An impartial representation o cer will duly consider the matter and conduct investigations to verify the facts if necessary. S/he will then allow the representation, if there are reasonable grounds, or deny the representation, if there are none. If the representation is allowed, the RTIA will cancel the infringement notice and no fees or penalties will be payable by the infringer. If the representation is rejected, there will be an administrative fee applicable and added to the original penalty amount as charged. The infringer may then elect to be tried in court, arrange to settle the full amount in one payment or in instalments.

OVERVIEW LIMPOPO

OVERVIEW OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA South Africa is a constitutional democracy with a three-tier system of government and an independent judiciary. The powers of the lawmakers (legislative authorities), government (executive authorities) and courts (judicial authorities) are separate from one another.

OVERVIEW

Government consists of national, provincial and local spheres. The national, provincial and local levels of government all have legislative and executive authority in their own spheres. It is a stated intention in the Constitution that the country should be run on a system of cooperative governance. The three spheres of government are defined in the Constitution as ‘distinctive, interdependent and interrelated’. The national, provincial and local levels of government all have legislative and executive authority in their own spheres. It is a stated intention in the Constitution that the country should be run on a system of cooperative governance. The three spheres of government are defined in the Constitution as ‘distinctive, interdependent and interrelated’. In terms of Chapter 7 of the Constitution of South Africa, the local sphere of government is made up of municipalities, which 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. 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 • ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner • promote social and economic development • promote a safe and healthy environment • encourage the involvement of communities and community organisations in matters of local government. 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, the: • Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act • Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act • Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Amendment Act • Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act • Local Government: Municipal Systems Act • Local Government: Municipal Systems Amendment Act • Local Government: Municipal Structures Act • Local Government: Municipal Demarcation Act. There are three kinds of municipalities in South Africa, metropolitan-, local- and district 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 • Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality • Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality. The remainder of South Africa’s territory 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 Emfuleni- Lesedi- 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 currently 278 municipalities in South Africa comprising

8 metropolitan, 44 district and 226 local municipalities 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.

OVERVIEW

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS Local government elections are held once every five years. The next municipal elections are due to be held in 2016. All South African citizens over the age of 18 are eligible to vote. The Constitution places all elections and referendums in the country in all three spheres of government under the control of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC), established in terms of the Electoral Commission Act. The obligations of the IEC are to: • manage elections of national, provincial and municipal legislative bodies • ensure that those elections are free and fair • declare the results of those elections • compile and maintain a voters’ roll. The duties of the IEC are to: • compile and maintain a register of parties • undertake and promote research into electoral matters • develop and promote the development of electoral expertise and technology in all spheres of government • continuously review electoral laws and proposed electoral laws, and make recommendations • promote voter education • declare the results of elections for national, provincial and municipal legislative bodies within seven days • appoint appropriate public administrations in any sphere of government to conduct elections.

DEPARTMENT OF COOPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL AFFAIRS (COGTA) The Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) is responsible for facilitating cooperative governance, to support all spheres of government and to assist the institution of traditional leadership to transform itself into a strategic partner of government in the development of communities.

APPLICABLE LEGISLATION CoGTA oversees the implementation of the following legislation applicable to local government. The Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act, 2004 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 for municipalities to implement a transparent and fair system of exemptions, reductions and rebates through their rating policies. The Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Amendment Act, 2009 was introduced in September 2009 and aims to extend the validity of a valuation roll and supplementary valuation rolls from four to six years.

OVERVIEW

CoGTA has adopted the following strategic objectives, in respect of local government, which guide the development of its strategies and the setting of its performance indicators and milestones: • to build and enhance the governance system in order to enable sustainable development and service delivery • to build and strengthen the capability and the accountability of provinces and municipalities to implement their constitutional mandate • to monitor, evaluate and communicate the impact of government programmes in municipal areas in order to enhance performance, accountability and public confidence • to strengthen CoGTA’s organisational capability and performance to deliver on its mandate.

The Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 is aimed at modernising municipal budgeting and financial management. 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 through budget and reporting requirements. The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 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 power 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, which 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 Systems Amendment Act, 2011 is aimed at professionalising local government for improved service delivery and performance management, while also instilling a people-centred local government mindset in municipalities. A key objective of the Act is to progressively align the systems of municipal administration and human resource management with those of the Public Service in national and provincial government.

OVERVIEW (Continued from page 25)

The aim of the Act, amongst other things, is to: • professionalise local government by ensuring that the administrative apparatus of municipalities is staffed by appropriately qualified and competent persons to improve service delivery • require that employment contracts and performance agreements of municipal managers (and managers directly accountable to municipal managers) are consistent with the uniform systems and procedures set nationally • extend the Minister’s regulatory power to make regulations relating to macro-benefits such as medical aid and pension benefits after consultation with the ministers of health and finance. The Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998 provides for ward committees whose tasks, amongst other things, are to prepare, implement and review integrated development plans (IDPs) and establish, implement and review municipalities’ performancemanagement systems. Five focus areas, aimed at fast-tracking implementation of the strategy, have been identified. These are: • service delivery • governance • financial management • infrastructure development • fighting corruption.

The department aims to review all pieces of legislation that impede service delivery. In this regard, more than 300 sections of legislation that fall under this category have been identified and reviews undertaken.

MUNICIPAL SUPPORT AGENT (MISA) In May 2012, the Municipal Support Agent (MISA) was proclaimed as a government agency as part of the LGTAS. The purpose of MISA is to be an institutional mechanism to manage and coordinate handson, targeted infrastructure development and technical capacity support without eroding the constitutional powers and functions of municipalities and other spheres of government.

MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT (MIG) The Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) is aimed at eradicating municipal infrastructure backlogs in poor communities to ensure the provision of basic services such as water, sanitation, roads and community lighting. CoGTA is responsible for managing and transferring the MIG and provides support to provinces and municipalities on implementing MIG projects.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT TURNAROUND STRATEGY (LGTAS) In 2009, an assessment of the state of local government found that problems in municipalities included poor governance and accountability, weak financial management, and a high vacancy rate in critical senior management posts. The findings further indicated an inability in some municipalities to deliver on the core set of critical municipal services. The findings pointed to a need to do things differently and respond directly to the findings of those assessments. In reaction, the Local Government Turnaround Strategy (LGTAS) was introduced as a government programme of action and a blueprint for better service delivery aimed at responsive, accountable, effective and efficient local government.

In terms of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, all municipalities are required to prepare and formally adopt IDPs. Integrated development planning is a process by which municipalities prepare five-year strategic plans that are reviewed annually in consultation with communities and other stakeholders. The aim is to achieve service delivery and development goals in municipal areas in an effective and sustainable way. IDPs must, amongst other things, include: • the municipal council’s vision for the long-term development of the municipality • an assessment of the existing level of development in the municipality and an identification of communities that do not have access to basic municipal services • the council’s development priorities and objectives, including its local economic development aims and its internal transformation needs • the council’s development strategies, which must be aligned with any national or provincial sectoral plans and planning requirements • a spatial development framework • the council’s operational strategies • applicable disaster management plans • a financial plan and budget projection for the next three years • key performance indicators and performance targets.

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANS (IDPS)

LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (LED) LED is an approach towards economic development that allows and 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. LED is intended to maximise the economic potential of municipal localities and enhance the resilience of macro-economic growth through increased local economic growth, employment creation and development initiatives within the context of sustainable development.

OVERVIEW LED programmes provide support in the following areas: • 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 • assisting LED capacity-building processes. Through these interventions and resources, local role-players and interest groups are mobilised for the sake of achieving economic growth, and with the aim of creating jobs to reduce poverty.

NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL TREASURIES The National Treasury is comprised of the Minister of Finance, together with the national department or departments responsible for financial and fiscal matters. The Minister is the head of the National Treasury.

The Constitution confers extensive powers on national government to determine the financial management framework of all organs of state, in all spheres of government.

The object of the MFMA is to secure sound and sustainable management of the fiscal and financial affairs of municipalities and municipal entities by establishing norms and standards and other requirements for: • ensuring transparency, accountability and appropriate lines of responsibility • the management of revenues, expenditures, assets and liabilities • budgetary and financial planning processes • borrowing • the handling of financial problems in municipalities • supply chain management • other financial matters. In terms of the MFMA, the National Treasury may, in respect of any municipality or municipal entity: • monitor their budgets and the implementation of their budgets, including their expenditure, revenue collection and borrowing • investigate any system of financial management and internal control and recommend improvements • take appropriate steps if a municipality or municipal entity commits a breach of the PGMA, including the stopping of funds to a municipality if it commits a serious or persistent material breach of applicable legislation and regulations • take any other appropriate steps necessary to perform its functions effectively. The Provincial Treasuries are tasked with: • monitoring compliance with the MFMA, the preparation of budgets, the monthly outcome of those budgets and the submission of reports • assisting municipalities in the preparation of their budgets • exercising any powers and performing any duties delegated by the National Treasury • taking appropriate steps if a municipality or municipal entity commits a breach of the MFMA.

OVERVIEW

(Continued from page 27)

The ‘local’ in economic development points to the fact that the political jurisdiction at local level is often the most appropriate place for economic intervention, as it carries alongside it the accountability and legitimacy of a democratically elected body.

FUNDING AND DIVISION OF REVENUE National government must, through national legislation, determine uniform treasury norms and standards. The National Treasury is further expected to monitor and enforce these norms. The National Treasury, therefore, not only implements the budget of the national government, but also plays a financial oversight role over other organs of state in all spheres of government. The National Treasury, together with the provincial treasuries, are responsible for administering the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), which is the central piece of legislation regulating all financial matters of municipalities.

MUNICIPAL FINANCE MANAGEMENT ACT (MFMA) The Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) aims to modernise budget and financial management practices in municipalities in order to maximise the capacity of the municipalities to deliver services to all their residents, customers and users. It also gives effect to the principle of transparency as required by sections 215 and 216 of the Constitution. The MFMA must be read together with three other critical pieces of legislation: the Municipal Structures Act, the Municipal Systems Act and the Municipal Property Rates Act.

Local government plays a critical and complementary role in eliminating poverty and reducing inequality. Municipalities deliver basic services such as water, electricity, sanitation and solid waste removal. Municipalities also manage extensive public road networks, and support or provide public transport services. They also directly manage aspects of planning and regulatory systems that control land use, influence infrastructure roll-out and facilitate economic activity. The Constitution requires a division of nationally raised resources between national, provincial and local government. This is done through the Division of Revenue Bill, which is tabled with the national budget. Transfers to local government are made through the equitable share and conditional grants. The equitable shares are determined by formulas that take into account demographic and developmental factors. Conditional grants are designed to achieve specific objectives, and municipalities must fulfil certain conditions to receive them. Local government raises revenue in the form of charges and taxes, and as a result only a percentage of their spending is financed through the division of revenue. (Continued on page 31)

OVERVIEW (Continued from page 29)

There are, however, significant disparities in municipal tax bases, and national transfers are particularly important for poor and rural municipalities. The current local government equitable share formula, therefore, supports municipalities with lower revenue-raising potential. In terms of the National Treasury’s Budget Review 2014: • The country’s eight metropolitan municipalities have projected budgets totalling R196,9 billion in 2014/15, of which 17% is funded through nationally raised revenue. • In contrast, the 70 most rural local municipalities have total projected budgets of R17,1 billion, 73% of which is funded by national transfers. • Overall, transfers to municipalities account for 8.9% (or R90,8 billion) of nationally raised revenue.

THE AUDITOR-GENERAL OF SOUTH AFRICA (AGSA)

SOUTH AFRICAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (SALGA) Salga is a listed public entity, established in terms of Section 21 of the Companies Act, 1973 and recognised by the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs in terms of the Organised Local Government Act, 1997. Salga represents local government on numerous intergovernmental forums such as the PCC, Minister and MECs Forum, the Budget Forum, the NCOP, and the Financial and Fiscal Commission. Salga aims, amongst other things, to: • transform local government to enable it to fulfil its developmental role • enhance the role of provincial local government associations as provincial representatives and consultative bodies on local government • raise the profile of local government

AGSA annually produces audit reports on all government departments, public entities, municipalities and public institutions. Over and above these entity-specific reports, the audit outcomes are analysed in general reports that cover both the Public Finance Management Act and MFMA cycles. In addition, reports on discretionary audits, performance audits, and other special audits are also produced.

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, 1998 and various judgements by the Constitutional Court. In addition to the determinations and redeterminations 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.

Although AGSA audits the public sector, it is not part of it. AGSA is a ‘Chapter 9’ institution, meaning its mandate is outlined in Chapter 9 of the Constitution. This ensures its independence. It is also not bound by any public service rules and regulations.

FUTURE DEMARCATION CHANGES

The final decisions regarding the municipal boundary determinations were announced by the Board on 15 October 2013. The relevant notices in terms of Section 21(5)(b) of the Municipal Demarcation Act 27 of 1998 were published in the respective Provincial Government Gazettes from 17 October 2013 onwards. The final demarcation announcement saw the culmination of a process that started in 2011, shortly after the previous local government elections. In terms of the announcement, the Board confirmed 152 demarcation changes (including variations) to take effect on a to-be-determined future date. The changes can generally be divided into two categories: • changes that amalgamate and combine various municipalities, or • changes that only redetermine the geographic boundaries of a municipality (by excluding a certain area from one municipality and including it in the area of another adjacent municipality, but that do not affect either municipality’s ongoing existence).

Currently, there are a total of 278 municipalities, which fall into three categories (metropolitan, district and local municipalities). In terms of the redeterminations, the total number of municipalities will be reduced to 267. It is expected that the effective date of the redeterminations will be the date of the 2016 local government elections.

The demarcation changes that will amalgamate and affect the ongoing existence of current municipalities are as follows:

GAUTENG • Emfuleni and Midvaal Local Municipalities, along with Sedibeng District Municipality, will be amalgamated into a single Metropolitan Municipality. With this newly-formed Metropolitan Municipality, the Sedibeng District Municipality will fall away. • Lesedi Local Municipality will be excluded from Sedibeng District Municipality, which will cease to exist and will be included into Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality. • Randfontein and Westonaria Local Municipalities will be amalgamated into a single Local Municipality. • The boundary redeterminations in Gauteng will result in the number of municipalities in the province being reduced from 12 municipalities to eight municipalities.

KWAZULU-NATAL • The most affected province will be KwaZulu-Natal, where there are 35 confirmed redeterminations, including variations. • Currently, there are 61 municipalities, which will be reduced through amalgamations to 54 municipalities. • The affected District Municipalities are Ugu, uThukela, uMkhanyakude, uThungulu and Harry Gwala District Municipalities. • The following Local Municipalities will be combined and amalgamated: o Vulamehlo and Umdoni Local Municipalities o Hlabisa and The Big 5 False Bay Local Municipalities o uMtshezi and Imbabazane Local Municipalities o Ezinqoleni and Hibiscus Coast Local Municipalities o Emnambithi/Ladysmith and Indaka Local Municipalities o Kwa Sani and Ingwe Local Municipalities o Ntambanana, Mthonjaneni and City of uMhlathuze Local Municipalities.

FUTURE DEMARCATION CHANGES

The municipalities and the demarcation of municipal boundaries published in this book reflect the status as at 1 December 2014. At this date, a number of future demarcation changes have already been finally determined by the Municipal Demarcation Board (the Board) but are not yet in effect.

EFFECTIVE DATES The MEC for Local Government in each province must publish further notices in the Provincial Government Gazettes determining the dates on which the boundary changes will come into effect. At the time of publication of this edition, it appears that these notices have not been published. While the final effective dates still need to be published, it is certain that the effective dates of the redeterminations will not be before the date of the 2016 local government elections. It is also likely that the amalgamation of the Emfuleni, Midvaal and Sedibeng Municipalities will be contested by further legal action. No further changes to municipal boundaries will be considered by the Board until after the 2016 local government elections. All new cases submitted to the Board will be referred back to the applicants for resubmission after the 2016 local government elections. The full list of confirmed demarcation changes is available at www.demarcation.org.za.

LABOUR FORCE 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 168 966km2 and has a population of 6 562 053. It is the secondlargest 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 Alexandria-Grahamstown 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 two metropolitan municipalities (Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality and Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality) and six district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 37 local municipalities.

east coast of the Eastern Cape province, South Africa. The boundaries of the newly established municipality now include a large area characterised by very different features. Two former municipalities, Transitional Local Councils – that of East London and King William’s Town – have merged into one. Other areas that were previously not included in either of them are now part of Buffalo City. The municipality was established as a local municipality in 2000 after South Africa’s reorganisation of municipal areas and is named after the Buffalo River, at whose mouth lies the only river port in South Africa. On 18 May 2011 it was separated from the Amathole District Municipality and converted into a metropolitan municipality. History was made in Buffalo City when the City elected its first female mayor on Friday, 17 March 2006. The area has a well-developed manufacturing base, with the auto industry playing a major role. The climate is mild, with year-round sunshine. Average rainfall is 850mm.

MATATIELE

OVERVIEW Area: 10 731km2 Description: Alfred Nzo District Municipality is a Category C municipality located in the north-eastern corner of the Eastern Cape province. It stretches from the Drakensberg Mountains, bordering Lesotho in the west, Harry Gwala District Municipality (previously Sisonke District Municipality) to the north and OR Tambo District Municipality in the east and south. The municipality is comprised of the Matatiele, Ntabankulu, Mbizana and Umzimvubu Local Municipalities. The district surface area has increased due to the incorporation of the Mbizana and Ntabankulu Local Municipalities. The process also entailed the amendment of all four municipalities’ wards where the wards for Umzimvubu Local Municipality (LM) increased from 24 to 27, due to some wards from Ntabankulu Municipality being incorporated under Umzimvubu LM; Matatiele from 24 to 26; Mbizana from 25 to 31; and Ntabankulu from 15 to 18 wards. The changes resulted in Alfred Nzo District Municipality being formed by a total of 102 wards.

RURAL ROAD ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (RRAMS) PROGRAMME 1.3 ABOUT THE RRAMS PROGRAMME

LIMPOPO

1 RURAL ROAD ASSET MANAGEMENT SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

NORTH WEST

1.1 INTRODUCTION The Rural Roads Asset Management Systems (RRAMS) Grant has established a graduate recruitment programme aimed at recruiting suitable candidates to undergo the job graduate development programme in the area of road asset management.

LESOTHO

NORTHERN CAPE

EASTERN CAPE

The RRAMS Programme seeks to attract qualified civil engineering S3/S4 or equivalent candidates, primarily those seeking experiential learning in order to enhance graduation requirements as part of their academic obligations. The programme is aimed at building road sector management capacity at local government level. 1.2 BACKGROUND The purpose of the grant as stated in the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) is to assist rural district municipalities in setting up their road asset management systems, and collect road and tra c data in line with the Road Infrastructure Strategic Framework for South Africa (RISFSA). During inception of the RRAMS rant in the 2011/12 financial year, 21 District Municipalities (DMs) out of the 23 rural districts that were previously declared as Presidential Nodes were selected and allocated R1,688 million each. This was due to the unavailability of road network information, especially in the local government sphere. This made it very di cult to quantify the backlogs, as well as to plan and budget for the existing network and for future prioritisation. In the 2012/13 municipal financial year, the project gained momentum and it was agreed with National Treasury to add more municipalities into the RRAMS Programme, with the new formula criteria based on the extent of the network, the population and the weather climate. The programme is seen as feeding into the S’hamba Sonke Programme (SSP), ‘Know Your Network’, with 36 district municipalities on a budget of R75,223 million for the 2014/2015 municipal financial year.

ADVERTORIAL

2 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES 2.1 MISSION The mission of the RRAMS Programme is to provide high-quality, trained Civil Engineering Technicians/Technologists throughout the country. These graduates will assist in the sphere of local government where there is a shortage of skilled personnel, especially in the civil engineering ﬁeld. Vision There is a huge need for RRAMS training activities (planning, visual inspections, GIS, asset management) to improve professional competence, and this will lead to an improvement in the road sector within the country.

2.2 HUMAN CAPACITY Progress Since the inception of the programme, the Department of Transport managed to employ 120 (S3/S4) students in the 2011/12 ﬁnancial year and, to date, this number has increased to 155 (S4) civil engineering graduates, who are in a position to register as Candidate Technicians with the ECSA. All the graduates were exposed to various aspects of training and credited with Continuous Personal Development (CPD) points. They were trained in the following ﬁelds: n visual condition assessments n GIS and AutoCad n pavement management systems n tra c data n project management principles n bridge management systems. Most of the graduates did not have a driver’s license when they were introduced to the programme and received assistance from the RRAMS Programme to obtain their license. Local Job Creation District municipalities, together with their local municipalities, created jobs for local unskilled labourers (tra c numerators), who are supervised by the RRAMS graduates. About 2000 temporary employment opportunities were created for numerators during the tra c counting process.

2.4 BENEFITS OF ROAD ASSET MANAGEMENT PLANNING ey benefits to governments that adopt formal asset management systems and practices include: n improved understanding of service level options and requirements n minimum life cycle (long-term) costs for an agreed level of service are identified n better understanding and forecasting of asset-related management options and costs n managed risk of asset failure n improved decision-making based on costs and benefits of alternatives n clear justification for forward works programmes and funding requirements n improved accountability over the use of public resources n improved customer satisfaction and organisation image. Long Term The main purpose of the RRAMS Programme is to improve the road sector to being more e cient and internationally competitive. 2.5 PROJECT TEAM n National Department of Transport n Provincial Department of Roads

n National Treasury n District Municipalities

3 RECOMMENDATIONS The road sectors should be encouraged to pursue and ensure that the problems of anticipated skills shortages are understood at senior management level and taken into account in strategic planning. The Department of Transport has been implementing skills development strategies from the RRAMS Programme to make sure there will be enough skilled professionals in the next ﬁve years, and intends to go the extra mile to o er RAM Learning Academy for road sectors throughout the country.

OVERVIEW Area: 4 352km2 Description: Matatiele Local Municipality is located in the northern part of the Eastern Cape province. It adjoins Elundini Municipality to the south-west, Greater Kokstad Municipality to the east, and Lesotho to the north. It is one of the four local municipalities forming part of the Alfred Nzo District Municipality. The other municipalities are the Umzimvubu, Mbizana and Ntabankulu Local Municipalities. The R56 road is a major arterial and trade route running through the municipality in an east-west direction, linking Matatiele with Kokstad to the east and Mount Fletcher to the west. It links the municipality with the KwaZuluNatal province and parts of the Eastern Cape province located south of Matatiele Municipality. The western parts of the area (commercial agricultural farms) form part of the high production potential land stretching from Matatiele and Kokstad in the south through the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands to the north-western parts of KwaZulu-Natal. The Matatiele municipal area is composed of the commercial farmlands surrounding the service centre of Matatiele, the town of Cedarville, and the R293 township of Maluti. The municipality is predominantly rural in nature. While Matatiele Town serves as a service centre and/or the main economic hub for Matatiele Municipality and beyond, and is identified in the District Municipality SDF as a primary node, the settlement pattern is characterised by dispersed rural settlements surrounded by subsistence farmlands in the former Transkei region. The area is located at the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains. It adjoins the World Heritage Site along its western boundary and was included in the Maloti-Drakensberg Transfrontier Conservation and Development Project (MDTP). The latter was a collaborative initiative between South Africa and the Kingdom of Lesotho to protect the exceptional biodiversity of the Drakensberg and Maloti Mountains through conservation, sustainable resource use, and land-use and development planning.

Area: 2 417km2 Description: Mbizana Local Municipality is located in the Eastern Cape province on the R61 road connecting the KwaZulu-Natal South Coastal Boundary to the N2 highway. It is one of the local municipalities under the Alfred Nzo District Municipality. Mbizana prides itself on a cultural diversity that includes a variety of tribes such as the Xhosas, Mpondos, Sothos and Ngunis. However, the population is dominated by the Mpondo tribe, which has its own unique dialect, isiMpondo, a soft mixture of isiXhosa and isiZulu. A female-dominated society, the municipality makes efforts to integrate and incorporate women in key decision-making roles within the institution to reflect this demographic. The majority of households in Mbizana are of a rural nature. This results in natural resources providing a strong base for basic survival as those living in rural areas turn to subsistence farming for their livelihoods. The Mbizana Local Municipality stretches between the Umtamvuna and Mtentu Rivers, with pristine beaches and scenic estuaries. This coastline is part of the famous Wild Coast and Pondoland centre that boasts valuable flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world. It is also home to one of the greatest sons of Africa, Oliver Reginald Tambo, who was a revolutionary leader and the longest-serving ANC president.

population, as well as the highest rates of poverty and unemployment, in the Chris Hani District Municipality, coupled with a high dependency ratio. The economy is underperforming and currently fails to create needed jobs and revenues. A dedicated LED strategy has been developed in order to guide interventions in turning this situation around. The municipality’s low productivity score points to the low GDP per worker (formal and informal), a relative shortage of skills available to the economy, and low growth. On a broad scale, the Engcobo Municipality has some striking features: it is a peripheral area in terms of the national economy, is underdeveloped, has a fragmented settlement pattern, has a low-density rural settlement environment, and its resource base is under pressure. On the scale of urban development, Engcobo Town is classified as a Sub-District Development Node by CHDM (i.e. it is amongst a group of towns deemed to be on a second tier below the dominant district node of Queenstown). This means that Engcobo is understood to have an influence (reach or catchment population) beyond simply its local area and that it draws people to the town to access goods and services from a broader area (i.e. in some cases even from neighbouring municipalities). However, Engcobo may also currently be described as a low-density urban environment. In spite of its low density and intensity of development, Engcobo’s business centre is thriving, though it does not function optimally due to overcrowding and a lack of facilities serving both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Business in the town is reliant on commuters (rural consumers) and there is no mass of resident consumers. This limits the range of commercial and social facilities that the private sector provides in town and inhibits the development of a more vibrant urban character.

OVERVIEW

EASTERN CAPE

Area: 5 065km2 Description: Elundini Local Municipality (ELM) is located within the Joe Gqabi District in the north-eastern portion of the Eastern Cape province. The municipality is bounded by Lesotho and Senqu Municipality in the west, Chris Hani District Municipality in the south, OR Tambo District Municipality in the east and Alfred Nzo District Municipality in the north. The ELM is one of the most scenic and attractive areas of the province, with considerable potential lying in its deep, fertile soils and high rainfall. Compared to the other municipalities in the Joe Gqabi District, Elundini has prospects of significant growth and upliftment in the quality of life for its residents due to its relative abundance of natural resources. The urban areas and commercial farming district are the highest employers, where people have found employment in the agriculture, commercial and service sectors. There are very low levels of employment in the rural settlements. This can be partly attributed to the fact that these areas do not have a strong economic base, and partly to the fact that most inhabitants are involved in subsistence-related activities with little surplus being produced for economic profit. Due to the migrant system in operation in South Africa, the impact of recessionary downturns in the economy elsewhere (such as in the mining industry, Gauteng and Cape Town) have had an impact on the Elundini area. There is still a heavy reliance on income from migrant sources. Cities/Towns: Maclear, Mount Fletcher, Ugie Main Economic Sectors: Social services/government (41%), agriculture (28%), wholesale and retail trade (14%)

EASTERN CAPE

The Orange River separates Gariep from both the Northern Cape and the Free State provinces. The Gariep Local Municipality has fairly diverse vegetation and is home to three distinct vegetation types, one of which – Eastern Mixed Nama Karoo – is recognised as a nationally significant biome. It is characterised by mountains, hills and valleys. 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, trout being a common species. Rock foundations have beautiful artwork made years ago by the founders of the area – the Khoisan. Gariep Local Municipality is small, with limited resources, and is therefore heavily reliant on Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) funding for expensive infrastructure investment. This allows the municipality to ringfence own funding for operations and maintenance. To increase capital investment, strong partnerships have to be formed with the district, sector departments and private sector. Investment remains the cornerstone of development and Gariep 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 overarching strategy has been structured to map the development path that will enable other important role-players to invest 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. Cities/Towns: Burgersdorp, Oviston Nature Reserve, Steynsburg, Venterstad Main Economic Sectors: Government services (27.9%), transport and communication (21.6%), manufacturing (14.7%), agriculture (13.8%), trade (8.8%), construction (5.5%)

FIRST TO THE RESCUE Due to overwhelming demand from government departments, Toyota has, for the first time, made available an approved ambulance conversion based on the best-selling Quantum range. Competitively priced, the Quantum-based ambulance conforms to both the RT57 tender and provincial specifications. What’s more, in order to suit a number of different applications, the new Toyota ambulance range is offered in both 2.5 diesel and 2.7 petrol variants – it’s also available in high- and standard-roof formats. Exhaustive testing ensures that the new Quantum ambulance range adheres to Toyota’s core values of Quality, Durability and Reliability (QDR). This naturally means that this model is fully supported by Toyota’s warranty and service plan as well as Toyota’s extensive dealer network. Testimony to the popularity of Toyota’s new ambulance range is the fact that 60 units have already been delivered to the Free State Government, with another 20 having been dispatched to the Eastern Cape Health Department. The North West Health Department has placed an order for an additional 20 units. “Toyota has been the historical market leader in the ambulance segment,” says Marius Senekal, Senior Manager, Corporate Sales Department. “However, we’re not resting on our laurels. By listening to our fleet customers, we’ve been able to produce a flexible, reliable and economical ambulance at a lower initial acquisition cost.” Refer to www.toyota.co.za for more information. For any government queries please contact Parks Moraladi: Email: pmoraladi@tsb.toyota.co.za | Tel: 011 809 2328 | Cell: 083 566 7946

Baartman District Municipality (previously Cacadu District Municipality) alongside the Indian Ocean coastline in the south-western area of the Eastern Cape province. The Western Cape province is not far to the west. Kou-Kamma neighbours the Baviaans Local Municipality in the north and the Kouga Local Municipality to the east. Kou-Kamma is a relatively poor area that reports high unemployment and low levels of literacy. Settlements are scattered and far from each other, which poses challenges to the development of infrastructure and basic services such as water, sewage, electricity and sanitation. The coastal belt includes the well-known Tsitsikamma area. The Langkloof area is surrounded by the Tsitsikamma Mountains. The administrative centre for the Kou-Kamma Municipality is Kareedouw, and Tweeriviere is considered the commercial centre. Storms River is the primary tourism centre within the municipality. The coastal area is characterised by a diverse and fast-growing economy, a fast-growing population linked to economic opportunities, a good water supply, and a wealth of holiday destinations and indigenous forests.

OVERVIEW Area: 2 670km2 Description: Kouga Local Municipality is situated in the Eastern Cape province within the area of the Sarah Baartman District Council (previously Cacadu District Council). It comprises the towns of Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp, St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis and Oyster Bay along the coastal region, and the towns of Hankey and Patensie in the fertile Gamtoos Valley, which also happens to be the gateway to the

METRO MUNICIPALITY

famous Baviaanskloof wilderness area. Situated roughly 80km from Port Elizabeth, the seat of Kouga, lies Jeffreys Bay, world-renowned for its ‘supertubes’ surfing spot, while to a lesser degree ‘Seal Point’ at Cape St Francis and ‘Bruce’s Beauties’ at St Francis Bay attract surfers from all over the globe. The fantastic, clean and safe beaches are exploited by many a tourist, with a large number making an annual pilgrimage to the sandy shores to enjoy a relaxed yet vibrant holiday. Port St Francis, situated in St Francis Bay, is home to the squid industry. The squid, normally referred to as ‘chokka’, is mainly export quality but is available locally as one of the area’s prized products. The Gamtoos Valley is recognised as one of the prime exporting areas for citrus and avocado pears. It also competes with the best that South Africa has to offer with its potato crops. The Kouga area has great development opportunities and astute business men and women can take advantage of the diverse economic heritage that the Kouga area offers to entrepreneurs.

It has established three transfer sites, 17 drop-off sites and 42 temporary skip sites. Provision of parks and beautification: The Municipality has a Tree Planting and Beautification Programme in place. Over the past five years, the institution planted 7 887 trees.

Nelson Mandela Bay is run by a progressive, multi-award-winning municipality, the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality, which is committed to making the city a preferred destination for investors and tourists alike, always in close consultation and engagement with its 1,1 million residents. In March 2013, a new political leadership, headed by ANC stalwart, struggle leader and seasoned parliamentarian Cllr Benson Fihla, assumed office, committing itself to creating a caring society, deepening democracy and improving service delivery. The new leadership immediately launched the 100 Days’ Service Delivery Programme to fast-track delivery, especially in the most pressing needs of local communities. As we celebrate the milestone achievement of 20 years of freedom and democracy in South Africa, the passing of the icon after whom our city is named, Dr Nelson Mandela, in December 2013, has sharpened our focus on the noble legacy left by the great man. As a city, we embrace the responsibility of giving effect to the values associated with him: reconciliation, warmth, unity, compassion and excellence.

TAKING STOCK OF SERVICE DELIVERY Quality housing in sustainable settlements: Over the past 20 years, the Municipality has given 34 851 title deeds to RDP homeowners and 62 367 old housing stocks to former tenants of the capital discount scheme. Over the past eight years, the Municipality has relocated 8 324 families from dangerous and unsafe areas, and has upgraded 24 informal settlements. Provision of water and sanitation: Over the past five years, 32 094 households have been connected to water and sanitation, and 100% of households have access to safe drinking water within a 200m radius. The Municipality is committed to eradicating the bucket system, and has increased access to sanitation to 91%. Provision of electricity and energy: One hundred percent of households in the formal demarcated residential areas have access

The investment of FAW in the Coega Industrial Development Zone outside the city will see FAW construct a state-of-the-art truck and passenger car plant. The investment is jointly funded by FAW and the China-Africa Fund. A very exciting prospect is the investment of R570 million by the pharmaceutical company ASPEN in North End, which will result in the creation of over 100 permanent jobs. The N2 Nodal Development Retail Shopping Centre, commonly known as the Baywest Mall (to the value of R2 billion), will be a major boost for the local economy and is expected to create more than 1 500 jobs. The Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) and the deepwater Port of Ngqura, which are located 20km east of the city centre, are set to transform the economy of the region and the Eastern Cape. The Port of Ngqura, a Greenfields Project, serves as the IDZ’s link to the ocean. It was officially opened early in 2012, marking a major milestone in the country’s infrastructure development efforts and commitment to regional economic development. Transnet earmarked Ngqura as a transhipment hub linking trade routes between the East and the West. The automotive sector remains Nelson Mandela Bay’s primary manufacturing driver, with the Eastern Cape representing 40% of the value of South Africa’s multibillion rand automotive industry.

VISION A people-centred developmental rural district municipality.

MISSION To coordinate governance for quality services and better communities through cooperative governance, socio-economic development, integrated development planning, and sustainable utilisation of resources.

EASTERN CAPE

VALUES • Commitment • Honesty • Respect • Integrity • Sincerity • Humanity • Accountability • Nurturing • Innovative The Chris Hani District is, both geographically and figuratively, the heart of the Eastern Cape, named after the heroic freedom fighter. The area has played its part in producing many of the giants of the country’s liberation struggle. Their lives, and the values they stood for, are well captured in the Chris Hani District Municipality (CHDM) liberation heritage route project. Our district played a singular role in the struggle, and in almost every small town and remote rural area, one can find traces of local heroes and heroines who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight for freedom. Thus far, valuable milestones have been reached in various projects, including the following: in Sabalele, Chris Hani’s birthplace, we have established a Development Centre with the intention of facilitating development needs and uplifting the standard of living in and around Sabalele Village – various programmes and projects are taking place at the centre every day; the Museum and Heritage Programme, which acts as a source for collection, storage and exhibition of what the late Chris Hani stood for; the Food Security Programme, which facilitates issues related to access to markets, finance and technical support to improve productivity and reduce poverty; the Arts, Crafts and Recreation Programme and Hospitality Programme; and the Early Childhood Development Programme, which gives children the opportunity to engage in a variety of educational and social activities. The District is proud to have completed the Cradock Four Memorial Site in Cradock’s Inxuba Yethemba Local Municipality. The site boasts huge tourism potential and has been one of our flagship projects.

Cllr George Xoseni SPEAKER

Mr Moppo Mene MUNICIPAL MANAGER

The Municipality has made it a priority to preserve the history and heritage of our district, so that we may all remember our fallen heroes and learn from them. The Municipality has just completed the repatriation and reburial of heroes fallen in Lesotho during the apartheid era. The graves of Luvuyo Lerumo and Qonda Hoho have been rehabilitated as part of site development. Calata Route: Traversing the Inxuba Yethemba, Inkwanca and Tsolwana Local Municipalities, the Calata Route begins at the busy town of Cradock, where there are numerous heritage sites such as the Cradock Four Grave, the Flame of Hope and Liberation, and the Olive Schreiner House. The route passes through Middelburg and onto Molteno, where we find Heroes Park and the Nomonde Graves, amongst other interesting sites, and then on to Sterkstroom for the Higher Mission School and the Garden of Remembrance. The route concludes at Tarkastad and its surrounds. Sisulu Route: This route falls within the Lukhanji Local Municipality and leads around Queenstown and its surrounds, taking in the fascinating heritage sites of the area. Places such as the Ilinge, Sada and Zibeleni Resettlements, landmarks of historical importance, and birthplaces of iconic people such as Mongezi Feza and Unathi Mfeka all form part of the Sisulu Route. Ndondo Route: The route includes the four local municipalities of Emalahleni, Sakhisizwe, Ncgobo and Intsika Yethu, and features heritage sites over a large area. From the outskirts of Queenstown, through Lady Frere, Cala, Elliot, Ngcobo and finally on to Cofimvaba, this tour features some of the most important landmarks in the Liberation Heritage Route.

SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE – CATALYST FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CHRIS HANI DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY Chris Hani District Municipality has reaffirmed its readiness for an inspired Special Economic Zone (SEZ). An SEZ is defined as a geographically limited area administered by a single body offering certain incentives and benefits to businesses physically located within the zone. This economic policy tool will see the Lukhanji Local Municipality being the economic hub of the District. Other local municipalities will either be Free Trade Zones (FTZs), Export Processing Zones (EPZs), Industrial Development Zones (IDZs) or Sector Development Zones (SDZs). The approval of the SEZ will increase foreign and domestic private sector investment through export growth and diversification; develop industries within the District; and upgrade skills and technological transfer. The Municipality has investigated various economic development instruments that are integrated and inclusive of the eight Local Municipalities (LMs).

The SEZ will be biased towards the agro-processing sector and will take advantage of the region’s agricultural strengths. The proposed SEZ will be located near the old Queenstown industrial area. The suggested location has almost all the necessary base infrastructure, such as water supply connection, waste management works, electricity supply, ICT infrastructure, roads and rail connection to the economic hubs of the Eastern Cape and the rest of the country. One possible constraint has been identified under the spatial planning section; the existence of a landfill site just to the north of the proposed location. Local municipalities under the jurisdiction of CHDM will form sector nodes that will yield primary production so that the AgroProcessing Hub (the Queenstown SEZ) has an adequate quantity and quality of input raw materials. This approach is inclusive and it ensures that economic activities and job creation occur not only in the proposed SEZ, but also in LMs of the District and, possibly, with adjacent district municipalities as suppliers.

CHRIS HANI DISTRICT COUNCIL The District Council comprises 40 Councillors, 17 of whom are directly elected (PR). The Executive Mayoral Committee is made up of six members, who are Portfolio Heads for the following directorates: Budget and Treasury, Corporate Services, Engineering, Integrated Planning and Economic Development, Health and Community Services, and Special Programmes Unit.

Four major corridors have been identified and are defined as the:

EASTERN CAPE

• East Corridor (Corridor 1), which runs along the R61 and links Ngcobo, Cofimvaba and Tsomo to Queenstown • North-East Corridor (Corridor 2), which links Elliot, Cala and Lady Frere to Queenstown along the R394 • West Corridor (Corridor 3), which links Middelburg to Cradock along the N10, and then Cradock and Tarkastad to Queenstown along the R61 • North-South Corridor (Corridor 4), which links Sada/Whittlesea through Queenstown to Molteno. Each of the abovementioned corridors transverse Queenstown, which has a strong existing business and support service base. Queenstown was therefore selected as the location for the proposed SEZ.

THE SEZ BRINGS MASSIVE ECONOMIC SPIN-OFFS AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTEREST TO BOTH COMMUNITIES AND PRIVATE INVESTORS SEZ allows local beneficiation to be the cornerstone of the Economic Agenda as it assists in eradicating infrastructure development backlogs. The Municipality has identified the need to address energy security, and thus the need for coal beneficiation and biofuel production as sources of energy. An estimated 15 agroprocessing factories are feasible. The ultimate electricity demand for the proposed SEZ is approximately 100MW. Each factory is estimated about 5MW maximum design for electrical supply. The land size in Lukhanji LM is about 350ha (300-500ha). For water requirements in the SEZ, a peak factory of 2.4 is recommended. This will result in a domestic water demand of 24.0001/ha/day (8 400KL/day). All other design parameters, such as minimum and maximum hydrostatic pressures, could be factored into the preliminary design, as well as a medium-risk fire category allowing two hydrants to discharge at any specific time, with a design flow of 25 l/s per hydrant. The initial costs for SEZ development are estimated at R2 billion, inclusive of capital cost, training, legislative compliance and ICT. This amount excludes offsite costs such as upgrading the rail permanently and providing rolling stock, locos, the upgrade of any roads, and trucks to transport produce. The number of jobs to be created locally by proactive skills training interventions is estimated at 16 324 construction jobs and 27 948 operational jobs.

EASTERN CAPE

The Sarah Baartman District (previously Cacadu District) is situated in the western portion of the Eastern Cape and wholly surrounds Nelson Mandela Bay. It is the largest (58 243km2) of the six districts in the Eastern Cape province. Covering 34% of the entire Eastern Cape province’s geographical footprint, the District stretches from the Karoo areas in the north to the coastal belt of the Indian Ocean in the south, and includes inland areas that lie between the Bloukrans River in the west and Great Fish River in the east. The Eastern Cape province is incredibly rich in culture and home to four tribal kingdoms, including Xhosa, Pondo, Sotho and the Khoisan – said to be among the first inhabitants of the province. Known as the ‘Adventure Province’, the Eastern Cape has the only Big Seven reserve in the world, namely Addo Elephant National Park, and a World Heritage Site, namely the Baviaanskloof, within its boundaries. The lifestyle is relaxed, balanced and family-orientated, while the tourism industry is thriving. The area is characterised by immense contrasts in scenery, vegetation, wildlife, history and culture. Residents have access to world-class medical, sports and education facilities like the Rhodes, Walter Sisulu, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan and Fort Hare Universities. The Eastern Cape offers one of the best combinations of lifestyle and opportunity. Whatever your line of business, the province boasts a healthy economic variety of manufacturing, industry and agro-industry supported by infrastructure and development initiatives, while motoring giants like Volkswagen South Africa, Ford and General Motors are also based here. It is also the only province that is home to two Industrial Development Zones (IDZs) and a deep-water port. The Sarah Baartman District Municipality focuses on creating projects to grow skills and employment and initiate sustainable economic development, as well as to elevate the quality of life in the District. Some rare skills, such as shearing Angora goats for mohair, are available in the District and where a skills shortage is being experienced, initiatives are being undertaken to combat the skills shortage and, in turn, create jobs for local people.

POTENTIAL AREAS FOR INVESTMENT Several potential areas of investment have been identified within the Sarah Baartman District. They include:

AQUACULTURE The aquaculture industry consists of the farming of aquatic, i.e. freshwater and marine, organisms under controlled conditions, which include interventions such as regular stocking and feeding during the rearing process to increase production. The Camdeboo Satellite Aquaculture Project (CSAP) aims to establish a preserved freshwater fish industry in the Graaff-Reinet area in order to address fish supply shortfalls, whilst simultaneously creating sustainable self-employment opportunities for rural women and promoting pro-poor economic growth and social equity. Once perfected and successfully implemented in Graaff-Reinet, CSAP may be replicated in other rural and remote areas of the country, creating enormous social and economic benefits for thousands of South Africans, as well as a source of affordable protein and nutrients for millions of people. The freshwater fish produced by aquaculture clusters will be processed and packaged and sold locally at an affordable price to bulk markets. Currently, CSAP is focusing on the establishment of the first commercial scale central management farm as well as the processing facility. Investment opportunities exist within both the production and processing areas of this project.

From top: Sarah Baartman District offers a number of potential investment areas, including aquaculture, dairy, pineapple farming, renewable energy and mohair production.

CITRUS Citrus is a major international commercial fruit crop that is widely consumed on a global scale, both as fresh fruit and juice. The citrus industry, within the Sarah Baartman District, is largely found in the Sundays River Valley area. The small town of Kirkwood is considered to be the citrus capital of the Eastern Cape and is also the centre of one of the largest citrus regions in South Africa, with approximately 12 000ha of citrus orchards.

086 | THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HANDBOOK SOUTH AFRICA 2015

LGH2015_PROFILE_SARAH BAARTMAN.indd 86

2014/12/09 1:01 PM

DAIRY The Eastern Cape produces approximately 30% of the South African milk output, with the Sarah Baartman District supplying 20% of this output. Approximately 600 000 to 800 000 litres of fresh milk are transported daily by tanker from the Tsitsikamma and Alexandria areas, within the Kou-Kamma and Ndlambe Local Municipalities respectively, to processing plants in Gauteng, Durban and Cape Town at a cost of some R90 million per annum.

ESSENTIAL OILS Since the essential oils market is largely an untapped market for Sarah Baartman, there is huge growth potential for this sector. There are over 300 plants that can produce essential oils, of which the most suitable for this area is still being assessed and studied. The essential oils sector is charaterised by the extraction of volatile fragrance components from plants, while the plant oils are extracted through distillation at yields of 0.01-2%.

HONEYBUSH Honeybush is an indigenous plant found exclusively in South Africa, within the fynbos region. It is used to produce a uniquely flavoured herbal tea. The most sought after parts of the plant are the flowers and leaves, which are used to produce Honeybush tea. Honeybush is grown wild and cultivated in the Langkloof area.

LEATHER The Sarah Baartman District is well suited for the leather industry as the Eastern Cape is home to the largest number of livestock. Typically, the value of cattle hides and sheep and goat skins represents in the region of 5-15% of the market value of an animal. The by-product nature of the leather industry prevents a significant waste problem that would arise if the leather industry did not exist.

LIVESTOCK Livestock farming within the Sarah Baartman District is largely attributed to the farming of cattle, sheep and goats. The mixedveld types of the Eastern Cape present a competitive advantage for livestock activities, hence the province generates the greatest volume of livestock farming within the country. The concentration of sheep farming is located in the more arid parts of the country, where the Eastern Cape is responsible for the greatest total number of sheep. Sheep flock sizes vary between less than 50 and 1 800 head. The Eastern Cape dominates the total number of goats farmed in the country. Flocks of goats intended for meat production are usually smaller than sheep flocks, averaging approximately 300 head per farm. OSTRICH Essentially, the ostrich can be raised for meat, leather and feathers, however, the main focus within the Sarah Baartman District is on the export of the meat. Therefore, the leather, eggs and feathers are considered as by-products. The ostrich industry is a growing economic sector that is gaining popularity within the market as recognition is given to the reduced cholesterol content of the meat, making it a healthy alternative to other red meat. PINEAPPLES The Sarah Baartman District is currently home to an emergent pineapple industry, of which the majority is grown within the Ndlambe Local Municipality. Ndlambe Natural Industrial Products (NNIP) is a Bathurst-based company formed in 2006 by various stakeholders to implement the Eastern Cape Pineapple Industry Residue Benefaction Project, which involves the development of value-added products out of what were previously considered waste materials, and the relocation to and consolidation of the entire pineapple processing industry in Bathurst. The focus of the Eastern Cape Pineapple Residue Benefaction Project is on creating a sustainable agricultural/agro-processing business model through value addition to what were previously considered agricultural and agro-processing waste streams. Currently, this material is burnt or ploughed back into the ground after the completion of the fruit production cycle, and is of no commercial value to the pineapple growers. The thesis of this project is that the pineapple plant material can be economically converted into value added products as follows: • Cellulosic fibre in the leaves will be converted into microcrystalline cellulose. • Bromelain enzymes will be extracted from the stems of the plants. Investment and the successful implementation of this project will be of enormous economic benefit to the pineapple growers and the pineapple processing industry.

MOHAIR The Eastern Cape province is the largest producer of mohair in South Africa, contributing approximately three quarters of the nation’s current production. Sarah Baartman is the province’s, and therefore the country’s, largest producer of mohair, with approximately 49% of South Africa’s market shares. Angora goats produce a fibre that combines the warmth of wool with the durability to be coloured, similar to synthetic material. Colouring of the fibre results in a high reflectance value and clarity of colour. Kid mohair, due to its exceptional quality, continues to be in high demand worldwide and used in the manufacturing of fashion garments. KAOLIN The Sarah Baartman District has significant Kaolin deposits and potential for cluster development around Kaolin in the Makana Local Municipality. Kaolin is a broad name given to a range of claycompound substances made up of Kaolinite and several other minerals. Depending on its individual chemical characteristics and the extent to which it is processed, Kaolin is used as filler and input in the manufacture and production of several goods.

RENEWABLE ENERGY Renewable energy is sustainable and an environmentally friendly alternative to coal as it produces minimal amounts of pollution and harmful gases. South Africa has prioritised the use of renewable energy to meet the growing demand for energy. Wind farms are already being erected in areas such as Kouga and Kou-Kamma, while other Renewable Energy developments are being planned in the District. The Department of Energy (DOE) has launched and periodically publishes Request for Proposals (RFP) in terms of the department’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer (IPP) Programme, whereby independent power producers are invited to submit proposals for renewable energy. Six out of the 15 wind farm developments approved in terms of the DOE’s Renewable Energy (IPP) Programme will be located in the Sarah Baartman District, accounting for almost half, i.e. 48% (579.16MW) of the total wind power generation projects awarded nationally. In addition, three of the largest energy generating wind farms, i.e. Amakhala Emoyeni (137.9MW), Cookhouse Wind Farm (135MW) and Jeffreys Bay (133.86MW) are to be developed in the District Municipality.

VISION A municipality that delivers appropriate, sustainable and affordable services towards socio-economic growth for the development of its community.

MISSION Emalahleni Municipality promotes quality and excellent services, which are valued by its citizens, through effective partnerships and active community participation as it plans for the future.

EASTERN CAPE

VALUES • Responsiveness: we will put systems in place to promptly respond to the needs, complaints and enquiries of our communities. • Cultural Diversity: we will promote and enhance all cultures in our municipality. • Commitment: we will commit ourselves to clean governance and accountability. • Dignity: we will treat every citizen with dignity, respect and in a disciplined manner. • Honesty: we will discharge our mandate with honesty. • Innovation: we will encourage alternative and innovative systems of discharging service delivery. • Principles: we will adhere to the practice of Batho Pele.

EMALAHLENI – MOVING THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE FORWARD The area is transforming fast, with the start of new projects that are in the Integrated Development Plan, and budgeted for in the Service Delivery Budget and Implementation Plan for 2014/15. There has been noticeable progress in some of the projects taking place this financial year, namely: the sports field second phase; building two modular libraries in Bengu and Tsembeyi respectively and a library facility, which is almost completed, in Lady Frere Town; constructing a law enforcement and vehicle testing station; a waste management site; waste collection sites; a new plant that has been bought to enhance service delivery; the broadband flagship project, which benefits schools; getting health facilities and communities on computers and the best network connectivity; reviving the secondary Coop Ibuyambo Sorghum Mill; upgrading the internal streets using paving blocks to beautify towns; and providing shelter for hawkers, with the aim of assisting them as small and medium enterprises. The upgrade of the sports field was allocated R9,2 million for the two phases of the project. The first phase of the project concentrated on preparing the earthworks, planting Kikuyu grass, installing 5 524m2 of tartan track, installing goal posts and line markings, repairing the pump engine for irrigation, renovating the existing building, installing high-mast lights, and paying professional fees. This phase was given a budget of R4,8 million. The second phase of the project includes building the grandstand and changing rooms on a budget of R4,4 million, with the completion expected in May 2015. The broadband project is the connectivity project, which is being piloted in two municipalities in South Africa (Emalahleni Local

Municipality in the Eastern Cape and Msinga Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal). Emalahleni Local Municipality has benefitted from the roll-out of computer laboratories in rural schools, with three schools (Stoney Croft Junior Secondary School, Ndzondelelo JSS and Freemantle Boys High) now having fully functional labs with access to the internet. This project also includes the identification of the three bestperforming Senior Secondary Schools in Grade 12 for 2013, which are Mzamo Senior Secondary School, Masikhanyise High and Dordrecht High. Each school received 66 laptops, with one gigabyte of data per month on each device, and 22 tablets, with the same data capacity per month. Network connectivity is improving from a situation where there was no network at all, to even being able to connect in a 3G capacity in rural areas. The project will improve issues like security and access to knowledge for both those in their youth and for the entire Emalahleni population. With this innovation, it is guaranteed that interactions between people within this area and with the international world will be faster and cheaper, benefitting the municipality’s socio-economic environment. Emalahleni Local Municipality is committed to positively changing its Audit Outcomes. In this regard, the management team has developed an audit action plan, which has been approved by Council; the Annual Financial Statements and draft Annual Report have been submitted on time; a turnaround plan has been developed, with the assistance of the Operation Clean Audit team deployed to the municipality by the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs; and mechanisms to ensure compliance with supply chain management processes have been put in place.

The Free State is located in the geographical centre of South Africa, bordered by the Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, North West, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces, as well as Lesotho. The Free State is a rural province of farmland, mountains, goldfields and widely dispersed towns. Although the Free State is the third-largest province in South Africa, it has the second-smallest population and the second-lowest population density. It covers an area of 129 825km2 and has a population of 2 745 590 – 5.3% of the national population. Its capital is Bloemfontein, which is South Africa’s judicial capital. Other important towns include Welkom, Kroonstad, Sasolburg and Bethlehem. The economy is dominated by agriculture, mining and manufacturing. Known as the ‘bread basket’ of South Africa, about 90% of the province is under cultivation for crop production. It produces approximately 34% of the total maize production of South Africa, 37% of wheat, 53% of sorghum, 33% of potatoes, 18% of red meat, 30% of groundnuts and 15% of wool. The province is the world’s fifth-largest gold producer, with mining the major employer. It is a leader in the chemicals industry, being home to the giant synthetic fuels company, Sasol. The Vredefort Dome, 10km in diameter, about 100km south-west of Johannesburg, is South Africa’s seventh World Heritage Site. The Free State is divided into one metropolitan municipality (Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality) and four district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 19 local municipalities.

OVERVIEW

FREE STATE

MANGAUNG

municipality. It is situated in the Free State province, in the central interior of South Africa. The Free State is bordered by the Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and North West provinces, as well as by the neighbouring country of Lesotho. Mangaung, meaning ‘Place of the Cheetahs’, accentuates the vibrant, dynamic and energetic character of the tourism industry in the ‘At the Heart of it All’. 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 Mangaung, 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, which accounts 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 plays 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. Cities/Towns: Bloemfontein, Botshabelo, Mangaung, Thaba Nchu Main Economic Sectors: Community services (35.3%), finance (26.8%), trade (16%), transport (11.8%), manufacturing (3.5%)

OVERVIEW

LED ACTIVITIES

Area: 7 925km2 Description: Moqhaka Local Municipality is situated within the

Key Projects: Re-opening of a long-closed company, Unicor (Pty) Ltd,

southern part of the Fezile Dabi District in the Free State province. The seat of local government is Kroonstad. The community name is the south Sesotho word for ‘crown’. The former Kroonstad, Steynsrus and Viljoenskroon Transitional Local Councils and sections of the Riemland, Kroonkop and Koepel Transitional Rural Councils are included in the Moqhaka Local Municipality. The general tendency of migration from rural to urban areas is also occurring in the area, as is the case in the rest of the Free State province. In comparison to the other municipalities within the Fezile Dabi District, it appears as if Moqhaka is significantly less urbanised. The Greater Kroonstad area is the centre of a large agricultural community that plays an important role in the economy of the district. Subsequently, industrial activities contribute significantly to the district’s economy. The Department of Correctional Services and the School of Engineers military bases are situated in the town. Kroonstad has recently become a distinguished holiday destination due to the ultra-modern and popular holiday resort of Kroonpark, adjacent to the Vals River. The urban area is situated adjacent to the N1 National Road, and located adjacent to one of the largest and most important four-way railway junctions in South Africa. The Viljoenskroon/Rammulotsi urban area is located within an area of extreme agricultural significance. The urban area plays a significant role in providing residential opportunities to the adjacent goldfields and mining activities in the North West province. The Provincial Roads P15/1 and P15/2 from Kroonstad to Klerksdorp in the North West province extend through the area from north to south. The Steynsrus/Matlwangtlwang urban area is situated approximately 45km east of Kroonstad and 92km west of Bethlehem. The major link road between Bethlehem and Kroonstad stretches adjacent to the urban area. Cities/Towns: Kroonstad, Renovaal, Steynsrus, Vierfontein, Viljoenskroon Main Economic Sectors: Agiculture, commercial transport, business services, mining

a hospital medical supplies company manufacturing, amongst others, masks, linens, medical gowns and gloves, that used to employ about 1 000 people in Kroonstad. Key Investment Opportunities: Resuscitation of the cargo airport and the cargo railway hub.

a central cone of granite surrounded by concentric ridges of quartzite belonging to the Witwatersrand System. Parys has a strong commercial component and provides a wide range of services regarding health, education and professional services to the district. The Parys District has unique natural and environmental assets, like the Vaal River, with several islands in the proximity of Parys and the Vredefort Dome that present exceptional tourism potential. Parys has a well-developed airfield that supports commercial and tourism development in the area. Vredefort is the only town that formed the former Vredefort District. The former Heilbron District is predominantly an agricultural area, although major manufacturing industries contribute largely to the Gross Geographic Product of the district. Koppies is located in an area of agricultural significance and mainly provides services in this regard to the surrounding rural areas. The three well-established and developed irrigation schemes subsequently enhance the agricultural character of the area. The strategic location of Koppies between the larger centres of Kroonstad and Sasolburg influence growth and development within the community.

It is an impoverished semi-urban area with a high unemployment rate. The municipality prides itself on its tourist destinations, such as the Florisbad National Quaternary Research Station. This is where the first human skull was discovered. There are also cooperatives in Soutpan working on the salt lakes to produce salt. The municipality plays host to two toll plazas on two major roads in the province; the Verkeerdevlei Plaza on the N1 is the last before entering Bloemfontein from the north, and the Brandfort Plaza on the former R30 (now ZR Mahabane Road) is situated between Brandfort and Bloemfontein. Brandfort is also known for its rich political history, which includes the National Military Museum on a farm that used to be a concentration camp during the Anglo-Boer War and the Winnie Mandela House, where Mandela was sentenced to House Arrest during the State of Emergency in the 1980s. Theunissen is also situated on the ZR Mahabane Corridor between Bloemfontein and Welkom, and hosts the three mines within the municipal jurisdiction. Winburg has economic potential because of its location, which is 100km west of Bloemfontein, and its linking of Bloemfontein with Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. It prides itself with the Voortrekker Monument as its Heritage Site, and Masilonyana boasts several game reserves across all its towns. Cities/Towns: Brandfort, Soutpan, Theunissen, Verkeerdevlei, Winburg Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture, mining, community services

paving and brick manufacturing in Theunissen; bakeries in Verkeerdevlei and Winburg; Business Development Centre; EPWP Potholes Project. Key Investment Opportunities: Retail development in shopping complex in Theunissen.

OVERVIEW Area: 4 129km2 Description: Nala Local Municipality is situated in the northern part of the Lejweleputswa District Municipality. The former Bothaville and Wesselsbron Traditional Local Councils and a section of the Vetvaal Transitional Rural Council have been combined to form the new Nala Local Municipality. The Bothaville/Kgotsong area is located approximately 50km south of Klerksdorp, 80km north of Welkom and 200km south of Gauteng. Wesselsbron/Monyakeng is situated approximately 70km south-west of Bothaville, approximately 35km west of Welkom/Odendaalsrus and 55km east of Hoopstad. The Nala region is located within a significant agricultural region. It forms part of the so-called ‘Maize Triangle’ of South Africa. Bothaville is strategically located close to the gold mining towns of Klerksdorp/Orkney, whilst Wesselsbron is in close proximity of Welkom/ Odendaalsrus. They are directly dependent on these large urban centres for institutional and commercial support. Three major rivers feature prominently in the Free State province, of which two flow through the Nala Municipality. The Vals River runs from east to west through the town of Bothaville towards the Vaal River, and the Vet River flows just south of the Wesselsbron district and forms the southern boundary of the Nala region. Both the rivers play a significant role in the provision of water to Bothaville and Wesselsbron respectively. The topography of the area is homogenous, with moderate slopes. The only significant natural feature is the sensitive wetland system found just south of Wesselsbron. The Vaal River forms the north-western boundary of the municipality.

OVERVIEW

Xhariep District of the Free State province. The name is a Sesotho word meaning ‘meeting place or where people are invited’. The name earmarks unity and seeks to encourage cooperation. The municipality has the largest surface area of the three local municipalities in the Xhariep District. Basic agricultural products are exported from the area for processing and reimported into the area as consumer products. Historical events that took place in the municipality, aspects of the natural and man-made environment and local activities may form the basis for promoting tourism as a significant economic activity. Some of these events, and man-made and natural environment aspects are: ‘Lake Gariep’ and the Gariep Water Festival; the game reserve at Lake Gariep; Jagersfontein Mine; the ‘Tiger Project’ in Philippolis; the Orange River Ravine from the Gariep Dam wall to the PK le Roux Dam wall; battlefields of significant battles conducted during the Anglo-Boer War, e.g. Mostert’s Hoek; Philippolis ‘Witblits’ Festival; historical buildings in Philippolis, e.g. the Dutch Reformed Church, library, old jail, the house where Lourens van der Post was born, Adam Kok’s house (the Griqua leader) and a kraal and structure where gunpowder was kept; and Fauresmith horse endurance run.

Audit Outcome

District in the south-eastern Free State. Zastron is perhaps the bestknown of the three villages in this area. At the foot of the Aasvöelberg is the famous Eye of Zastron, a 9m-wide hole through a sandstone rock. Examples of Bushman art can be found on the various farms in the area. Zastron is very close to Lesotho and a great place to start exploring. Smithfield has a peaceful, splendidly vast, unpolluted countryside, tucked neatly into a horseshoe of hills. Established in 1848 and named after Sir Harry Smith, then Governor of the Cape, Smithfield is the third-oldest town in the Free State province. Rouxville is in the middle of a number of other interesting places such as Smithfield, Aliwal, Xhariep and Zastron, and boasts the impressive Maloti Mountains as a backdrop. Situated on the N6, Rouxville was founded by Petrus Wepenaar in 1863 on the farm Zuurbult. It was named after Reverand Pieter Roux, who travelled throughout the eastern Free State for many years holding church services for local communities. During the Anglo-Boer War, all of its citizens were called up and the town was completely deserted for two years.

VISION

Institutional Profile-Political Component (Plenary Council)

The Municipality views the vision and mission statements as a critical component for development. This is because certain steps were to be followed to have a credible vision and mission statement developed. The vision developed by the Municipality reads as follows: ‘A constantly progressive municipality where quality services and a healthy and safe environment empower a harmonised community to develop their own economic security in a sustainable local future for all.’

The Council of Naledi Local Municipality consists of a total of eight councillors, four of which are ward councillors and four are proportional representative councillors. Only the Mayor/Speaker is full-time.

MISSION

FREE STATE

Mr Q W Lefora MUNICIPAL MANAGER

To work as a committed team towards achieving the Municipality’s objectives by means of the following: • ensuring effective communication and consultation between all stakeholders • improving our capacity in terms of resources • absolute commitment towards the implementation of our plans, programmes and strategies • strengthening our institutional capacity • developing a clear understanding, interpretation and implementation of Local Government legislation and policies • ensuring proper accountability relating to clear roles and responsibilities.

VALUES The above-stated vision and mission will be attained through the following set of core values: • Democratic values • Equity • Good governance • Commitment • Transparency • Accountability • Honesty • Professional approach • Trust.

OVERVIEW OF THE MUNICIPALITY The Naledi Local Municipality was established in terms of Section 14 of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act 117 of 1998 and was published in Provincial Gazette No. 109 dated 28 September 2000. The Local Municipality is a Category B municipality with a plenary executive system as contemplated in Section 3(b) of the Determination of Types of Municipality Act 1 of 2000.

Composition, Boundaries and Size Naledi is situated in the south-eastern Free State, and forms part of Xhariep District Municipality. The Local Municipality area measures 3 424km2 and comprises the former Traditional Local Councils (TLCs) of Dewetsdorp, Wepener, Van Stadensrus, as well as a part of the former south-east, central-south and Bloem area District TLCs.

POPULATION Population increase is important because it creates a market for goods and services, resulting in economic growth, which will hopefully lead to employment opportunities. The population of Xhariep District Municipality in 2001 was at 162 721. In 2011, with the inclusion of Naledi Municipality into Xhariep District, the population decreased to 146 259. Our own population in Naledi has also suffered, with a population of 27 479 in 2001, dropping to 24 314 by 2011. There are also some positives reflected by Census 2011. For example, unemployment in Naledi Municipality has dropped from a staggering 37.1% in 2001 to 26.4% in 2011. Youth unemployment has also dropped, although it is still very high by national standards, from 48.8% in 2001 to 34.8% in 2011.

TOURISM The Caledon River runs through the town of Wepener and is an important water source. It serves as a boundary to the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. In front of the town hall is a statue of Louw Wepener. He was killed by the Basotho rolling large rocks on him and his troops while they were trying to conquer Thaba Bosiu. This is represented by the rocks on which his statue is mounted. The Dutch Reformed Church in Dewetsdorp is an important Heritage Site. The cornerstone of the church was placed by President FW Reitz on 26 May 1894. Recreational fishing and hunting can be enjoyed at Caledon Nature Reserve, 30km outside Wepener, where tourists enjoy camping. Hunting and fishing can also be enjoyed at Mohokare Lodge. At Van Stadensrus, there are Bushman paintings in the caves that show Bushmen once inhabited the area.

LGH2015_PROFILE_Naledi.indd 108

2014/12/03 12:32 PM

The dawn of a democratic South Africa brought with it optimism and a new-found pride amongst its citizens. For the millions previously confined to substandard housing conditions, what dampened this sense of belonging was the dire need for housing. The newly elected government addressed the need by enshrining in the onstitution, the Right to Shelter. oncomitantly, rising protests and violence over quality and standards in the homebuilding environment demonstrated that there were serious challenges to overcome. Unscrupulous home builders cashed in on the need for housing, constructing defective homes for customers who had no recourse for their grievances and thereby setting in motion the establishment of a central housing authority to oversee standards in the homebuilding environment. The Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act (Act 95 of 1998) came into being and gave birth to the National Home uilders Registration ouncil ( R ). The R is a statutory body whose role is to protect the interests of housing consumers and to regulate the homebuilding industry. In line with the ousing onsumers Protection Measures Act, all home builders must be registered with the R and all new homes must be enrolled at least 15 days prior to construction. Along with the legal framework, an enrolment a ords the housing consumer with benefits such as a three month warranty cover against minor defects, a one year warranty cover against roof leaks and a five year warranty cover against major structural defects. In 1998 the R started with a paltry builder registration of 20 builders. Today the organisation regulates over 15 000 builders at any one time, it has trained in excess of 22 000 emerging home builders on the basics of building and regulated industry standards, and is a leader, through strategic partnerships, on building technological solutions. Dr Awelani Malada, head of Strategy and Planning for the R believes that the organisation’s success can be measured by the consistently increasing number of home inspections and enrolments in both the subsidy (Government-assisted) and non-subsidy sector.

NHBRC.indd 1

A footprint in all nine provinces enables the R to conduct regular home inspections and in instances where builders are found to be in contravention of regulated building standards and the ousing onsumers Protection Measures Act, the R is able to instigate its legislative powers. Notwithstanding the regulatory role that the R has in the homebuilding environment, it is more than just a regulator and enforcer of building standards. Mr Mnyani adds, We also encourage and support technology and innovation in home building as this is what is going to take us into the future. Any builder who comes up with new materials or methods – and is certiﬁed by Agr ment SA – can come to us to further their ideas. In 2005 the R established the Eric Molobi ousing Innovation ub in Soshanguve, with the aim of testing innovative (or alternative) building solutions and to support the development of aesthetically pleasing yet a ordable housing solutions for new homes. The Hub also boasts a materials-testing laboratory and a training college for builders. The head of the R ’s entre for Research and ousing Innovation, Dr e rey Mahachi, is part of a collective within the organisation who believe that the R can facilitate holistic solutions where building methods are quick to implement, environmentally-friendly, and can create a social system that a ords low-income earners the same quality homes as their middle class counterparts. In a country with inherent social gaps and a housing backlog of over 2 million housing units, we need that. ere’s to the next 20 years

“We have come a long way. The challenge now lies in meeting the housing demand, denting the current housing backlog and improving turnaround times so that those in need can be assisted faster and more effectively,” NHBRC CEO, Mongezi Mnyani.

Gauteng is the smallest of South Africa’s provinces, covering an area of 18 178km2 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 12 272 263 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 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. The major gold and diamond mining houses all have their headquarters in Johannesburg, the biggest being Anglo American and De Beers. Gold mining constitutes 80% of Gauteng’s mineral production output. Gauteng is divided into three metropolitan municipalities, the City of Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipalities, as well as two district municipalities, which are further subdivided into seven local municipalities.

GAUTENG

in the Gauteng province. Johannesburg is the most advanced commercial city in Africa and the engine room of the South African and regional economy. It is a city with a unique, African character, world-class infrastructure in the fields of telecommunications, transportation, water and power, and with globally-competitive health care and educational facilities. However, the city is also one of contrasts – home to both wealthy and poor, residents and refugees, global corporations and emerging enterprises. The demographics of Johannesburg indicate a large and ethnically diverse metropolitan area. As the largest city in South Africa, its population is defined by a long history of local and international migration. Johannesburg is home to more than 4,4 million people, accounting for about 36% of Gauteng’s population and 8% of the national population. Over the last decade the city has been growing. A key contributor to this is that the city continues to attract people from other provinces, and internationally, who are looking for better economic opportunities and quality of life. The population pyramid indicates that the city’s population is predominantly young. This can be attributed to migration from other parts of the country as young people look for jobs. Johannesburg is considered the economic hub of South Africa and is often the first choice of destination by job seekers across the country. Cities/Towns: Alexandra, Diepkloof, Diepsloot, Ennerdale, Johannesburg, Johannesburg South, Lawley, Lenasia, Lenasia South, Meadowlands East, Meadowlands West, Midrand, Orange Farm, Pimville, Randburg, Roodepoort, Sandton, Soweto Main Economic Sectors: Finance and business services, community services, manufacturing, trade (collectively 82%)

GA-RANKUWA

the Gauteng province and Pretoria is the capital of South Africa. It has merged with the 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 seven regions, 105 wards and 210 councillors. Pretoria has the second-largest number of embassies in the world after Washington DC. Many embassies thus call this city their home. The Union Buildings house the administrative hub of the country and have also been the setting for 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 crafts 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 that 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. There are also two nature reserves where visitors can view wildlife such as buffalo, antelope, cheetah, jackal, giraffe and sable.

OVERVIEW

EKURHULENI

GAUTENG

Area: 1 975km2 Description: Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality covers an extensive

EDENVALE

area from Germiston in the west to Springs and Nigel in the east. The former administrations of the nine towns in the former East Rand were amalgamated into the metropolitan municipality, along with the Khayalami Metropolitan Council and the Eastern Gauteng Services Council. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the province, and the country. The economy in the region is larger and more diverse than that of many small countries in Africa. It accounts for nearly a quarter of Gauteng’s economy, which in turn contributes over a third of the national Gross Domestic Product. Many of the factories for production of goods and commodities are located in Ekurhuleni, often referred to as ‘Africa’s Workshop’. The network of roads, airports, rail lines, telephones, electricity grids and telecommunications found in Ekurhuleni rivals that of Europe and America. It can be regarded as the transportation hub of the country. It is home to OR Tambo International Airport; South Africa’s largest railway hub; a number of South Africa’s modern freeways and expressways; the Maputo Corridor Development; direct rail, road and air links connecting Ekurhuleni to Durban; the Blue IQ projects, with linkages to the City Deep Container terminal; the planned Gautrain rapid rail link to Johannesburg and Pretoria; and the OR Tambo International Airport Industrial Development Zone (IDZ).

LESEDI

DE DEUR HEIDELBERG

OVERVIEW

SEBOKENG

Lesedi and Midvaal Local Municipalities. It is situated on the southern tip of Gauteng province and strategically located on the border of three other provinces, namely Free State, North West and Mpumalanga. The well-developed national road network that cuts across the district to all the provinces ensures that the region remains the industrial centre of the Gauteng province. The municipality is 40km away from Johannesburg and 80km away from Pretoria, without the high traffic volumes. Sedibeng offers the best opportunity for growth and development as a result of availability of land for both residential and commercial development in a picturesque and tranquil setting. The Vaal University of Technology and the North-West University’s Vaal Campus offer a wide range of graduates that provide the bulwark of employees for business and industries that seek to set up operations in Sedibeng. The Sedibeng District Municipality is a Category C municipality. It is the only area of the Gauteng province that is situated on the banks of the Vaal River and Vaal Dam in the southernmost part of the province, covering the area formerly known as the Vaal Triangle. It includes the towns of Vereeniging, Vanderbijlpark, Meyerton and Heidelberg, as well as the historic townships of Evaton, Sebokeng, Boipatong, Bophelong, Sharpeville and Ratanda, which have a rich political history and heritage. The municipality is a stones throw from Johannesburg along the scenic Vaal, Klip, and Suikerbos Rivers. Sedibeng has a variety of attractions offering a vast cultural heritage and historical experience including, amongst others, the political breakthroughs that led to the country’s political turnabout. The Sedibeng region boasts several Heritage Sites related to the South African War of 1899-1902 and the two World Wars that followed. The Sharpeville Memorial Precinct stands as a reminder of the Sharpeville Massacre of 21 March 1960, when 69 people lost their lives while protesting the pass laws of the then apartheid South Africa. Sedibeng is the fourth-largest contributor to the Gauteng economy. The municipal economy reached a high of 7.2% in 2006. The predominant economic sector in the district is the manufacturing of fabricated metal and chemicals. In the metal sector, the Arcelor-Mittal Steel plant, the Cape Gate Davsteel Wire and Steel plant, and the Ferromanganese plant of Samancor are the three main large baseline plants in the district, whilst DCDDorbyl Heavy Engineering is the biggest manufacturer of engineered products in Southern Africa. Main Economic Sectors: Manufacturing (30.8%), government (17.8%), business services (17.8%), trade (13.7%)

City of Tshwaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old, lumbering workflow becomes a seamless stream of efficiency with Smartgov. Rich, informative and accurate Mayoral Committee Reports form the backbone of the decisionmaking processes at the City of Tshwane (COT). In spite of three attempts to automate the process in previous years, it remained a paper-based activity that caused significant issues.

The challenge n n n n n n n n n

n n

Inconsistent report flows that contravened guidelines as laid out in existing policies Delays in consultation processes with Metro departments Loss of reports Inability to monitor and enforce response times Inconsistent review and approval processes and lack of accountability Inconsistent reporting formats and quality Inability to track report changes through the approval chain Difficulty in monitoring progress and following up on reports Limited ability to produce meaningful statistics to manage the performance of the MayCo System Labour-intensive tracking and reporting of implementations of resolutions Excessive amounts of paper used

The solution Boxfusion was engaged by COT to deliver a solution that would work seamlessly within the city. A four-month pilot was run based on a Smargov solution that was specifically designed and developed for the automation of the Mayoral Committee Reports within local municipalities. This was such a success that COT rolled it out to all 22 of its departments, covering approximately 1 000 users throughout the city. This has resulted in the complete elimination of paper reports from the city. It has streamlined processes, improved productivity, allowed for greater accountability and assisted COT in delivering reports that allow for city-wide improvements and developments.

It is bordered by Bojanala Platinum to the north-west, City of Tshwane to the north-east, City of Johannesburg to the east, Sedibeng to the south-east and Dr Kenneth Kaunda to the south-west. The municipality is situated relatively closely to the hub of economic activity in Gauteng, and is transversed by major national roads, namely the N12 and N14. Its main contribution lies primarily within the mining sector, however, areas such as Krugersdorp fulfil a residential function for many people working in Johannesburg. The West Rand remains the poorest region contributing to Gauteng’s GDP. The leadership of West Rand District Municipality has a new vision that entails dissolving the four local municipalities in the district into a single municipality by 2016. Vision 2016 includes a holistic approach to environmental concerns. There are opportunities for developing economies to benefit from climate change mitigation strategies and the West Rand will be making a strong case for private investors to assist in the growth of green and sustainable industries.

OVERVIEW Area: 1 631km2 Description: Merafong City Local Municipality is situated within the West Rand District Municipality in Gauteng. Its boundaries enclose some of the richest gold mines in the world. It is situated about 65km from Johannesburg and is serviced by a number of major roads, including the N12 from Johannesburg to Cape Town and the N14, which is the main road between Gauteng and Mahikeng (previously Mafikeng) via Ventersdorp. Formerly a cross-border municipality, the entire municipality was transferred to the North West province following the abolition of cross-border municipalities by an amendment to the South African Constitution in 2005. The municipality was part of the North West province from 2005 to 2009, when it was reincorporated into the Gauteng province by another amendment to the Constitution, following often violent protests in the township of Khutsong.

METRO MUNICIPALITY

Merafong’s historical development is closely knit with the discovery of rich gold deposits in the early 1930s. Fochville is the oldest town in the region, and was declared a town in 1951. The town Carletonville was named after Guy Carleton Jones, an engineer from the Gold Fields Ltd mining company, who played a prominent role in the discovery of the West Wits gold field, of which Carletonville forms a part. The mining company decided, in November 1946, to establish the town. Carletonville was proclaimed in 1948 and attained Town Council Status on 1 July 1959. Wedela is situated between Western Deep Levels and Elandsrand mine. The town’s name is derived from the prefixes of the two mines: the ‘Wed-’ from Western Deep Levels and the ‘-ela’ from Elandsrand. Wedela was established as a mining village in December 1978 by Harry Oppenheimer, and municipal status was granted to the town on 1 January 1990. Cities/Towns: Carletonville, Fochville, Wedela Main Economic Sectors: Mining (50.7%), trade (9.7%), finance and business services (9.9%), community services (9.2%), general government (9.1%)

OVERVIEW Area: 1 342km2 Description: Mogale City Local Municipality lies directly west and south of the City of Johannesburg and City of Tshwane Metropolitan areas respectively, and forms part of one of the three district municipalities that make up the peripheral areas of the Gauteng province. To the north, west and south it borders onto the Madibeng, Rustenburg and Randfontein Local Municipalities respectively. The northern part of Mogale City comprises the bulk of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Mogale City’s strongest functional urban linkage is with the City of Johannesburg. Krugersdorp and the greater Kagiso area, Mogale City’s primary urban complex, forms part of a band of development stretching from the Johannesburg Inner City westwards along the mining belt up to Krugersdorp. The strongest east-west transport linkages between Mogale City and Johannesburg are along the R512, as well as the east-west railway line. Mogale City is linked to the City of Tshwane via the R28/N14 highway. The largest part of Mogale City is rural in nature, with a specific urban concentration in the south-eastern part of the municipality where it interfaces with the Gauteng urban complex. The rural environment is characterised by prominent features: the Magaliesburg and Witwatersberg Ranges in the north-west. Rural towns in Mogale City are Tarlton, Magaliesburg and Hekpoort, located in the west. An urban concentration is found in the south-eastern part around Krugersdorp and Kagiso. The Krugersdorp CBD is the main business, social and administration centre and fulfils a regional function. The areas around Krugersdorp are established middle-to-high income residential areas with the full range of urban amenities, services and facilities. The areas to the south of Krugersdorp, namely Kagiso, Azaadville and Rietvallel (referred to as the Kagiso complex), are predominantly disadvantaged settlements with more limited access to service and facilities. The Kagiso complex is physically separated from Krugersdorp’s urban areas by an extensive mining belt that runs roughly in an east-west direction through the area.

LABOUR FORCE KwaZulu-Natal is located in the south-east 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 subtropical east coast washed by the warm Indian Ocean, to the sweeping savanna in the east and the majestic Drakensberg Mountain Range in the west. It covers an area of 94 361km2, the third-smallest in the country, and has a population of 10 267 300, 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 province’s manufacturing sector is the largest 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 10 district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 50 local municipalities.

Dannhauser is one of three local municipalities within the Amajuba District Municipality. It is the smallest municipality within the district. The town of Dannhauser is located midway between Durban and Johannesburg on the main railway line, about 8km off the national road between the two cities. It is surrounded by some of the largest coal-producing mines in KwaZulu-Natal. Numerous

rivers flow through the municipal area, the most important being the Ngagane and uMzinyathi Rivers, and there are scenic landscapes in the western portion of the municipality. Dannhauser functions as a small rural service centre (providing commercial and service facilities, and agricultural industries and services). It is therefore not a large employment generator. Residents of the municipal area rely on the larger urban centres of Dundee and Newcastle for employment opportunities and higher order goods and services. Investment in commerce has growth prospects.

OVERVIEW Area: 1 855km2 Description: Newcastle Local Municipality falls within the Amajuba District Municipality. It is located in the inland region on the north-west corner of KwaZulu-Natal, a few kilometres south of the Free State, Mpumalanga and Gauteng provincial borders, in the foothills of the Drakensberg.

METRO MUNICIPALITY

Newcastle is the third-largest urban centre in KwaZulu-Natal, is categorised as a secondary city and is the biggest municipality within the Amajuba District. The town was strategically placed, in 1854, by the Surveyor General of the Natal Colony, Dr PC Sutherland. The town was later known as the Waterfall River Township because of the Ncandu River. In 1864, the town of Newcastle was founded on the site, becoming the fourth town to be established in Natal. The town was named after the British Colonial Secretary, the Duke of Newcastle. Newcastle functioned as a major transport junction and popular stopover for wagons and post-chaises during the late 1800s. In 1890, the first train arrived in Newcastle. In 1891, Newcastle was declared a borough. The discovery of coal brought a new era of prosperity to the town and several ambitious building projects were planned for Newcastle in the late 1900s.

OVERVIEW

KWAZULU-NATAL

Area: 1 604km2 Description: Ubuhlebezwe Local Municipality is located within the Harry Gwala District Municipality (previously Sisonke District Municipality). The main administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Ixopo, which is located approximately 85km south-east of Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu-Natal. It is strategically located at the intersection of four major provincial routes leading to Pietermaritzburg, the Drakensberg, the Eastern Cape and the South Coast. The town of Ixopo forms the primary development node of the municipality and has also been selected as the seat of the Harry Gwala District Council. The importance of Ixopo cannot be underestimated in the socio-economic development of the area as a whole. Ixopo plays an important role in terms of the possible location for industry, commerce and other economic activity. It is a major education and health centre, and assists in the diffusion of new ideas and technologies to the rural areas. It is also the primary base for the operation of many departments and service providers. In line with the KwaZulu-Natal Integrated Rural Development Policy, a number of secondary development nodes have been identified. The intention of secondary development nodes is to identify well-located settlements where government and municipal services, administrative functions, and commercial and residential development will be encouraged to locate in the future. The secondary and tertiary development nodes identified are: Highflats, Hlutankungu (previously Stuartsville), Jolivet, KwaBhidla, Emgodi and Hlokozi.

MANDENI

KWAZULU-NATAL

Area: 3 260km2 Description: iLembe District Municipality is situated on the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal and is the smallest of the province’s district municipalities. The majority of the rural inland areas are tribal authority areas, characterised by subsistence farming. iLembe consists of four local municipalities located between Durban and Richards Bay: Mandeni, KwaDukuza, Maphumulo and Ndwedwe. The town straddles the Tugela River, the traditional border between former Colonial Natal and the Kingdom of Zululand, the site of historical and cultural events.

At the border of the district is the Unicity of Durban in the immediate south, which is linked by the coastal highway to Richards Bay in the north, giving it access to both harbours for trade purposes. It is also a leading place for the tourism industry because of its rich Zulu Kingdom heritage, as it was named in recognition of King Shaka. Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture

OVERVIEW Area: 545km2 Description: Mandeni Local Municipality was previously known as the éNdondakusuka Local Municipality. It covers the area from the Amatikulu River to a line just south of Mtunzini in the north, and to a line south of the uThukela River just north of Darnall. The uThukela River is the largest river in KwaZulu-Natal, and was the historical border between Zululand and Natal. Mandeni Local Municipality is strategically located midway between Durban and Richards Bay, and lies on the development corridor on the north coast between these two major port cities in KwaZulu-Natal. It is located on the major railway and road transportation routes which link these two economic hubs. This strategic location is also acknowledged in the Provincial Spatial Framework, which has identified Mandeni as the growth node in the north coast corridor. The construction of the new Dube Trade Port and King Shaka International Airport has much economic, social and employment implications for the municipality because of its location. Mandeni is the only urban settlement of substance and functions as the service centre for a substantial hinterland. Mandeni consists of fragmented pockets of intensive urban settlement separated by areas of little or no development. Four rural settlements, Hlomendlini, Macambini, Mathonsi and Ndulinde, are each under an Inkosi. All are underdeveloped and have major backlogs in service provision. The municipality has no capacity to supply the whole area with electricity. Transport infrastructure is well developed, with a high standard of road and rail services into the area. Cities/Towns: Isithebe, Mandeni Main Economic Sectors: Manufacturing (37%), finance, insurance, real estate and business services (29%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation (19%), transport (5%), agriculture (4%), general government (4%)

in the iLembe District of KwaZulu-Natal. Maphumulo is an isiZulu name meaning ‘place of rest’. The municipality is predominantly rural, mostly comprising tribal land, which is administered by the Ingonyama Trust on behalf of local communities. Sugar cane cultivation is the predominant economic activity and land use in the municipality. Subsistence agricultural activities in the form of small cropping areas attached to traditional family units dominate land usage. The R74 Main Road provides access from KwaDukuza to the hinterland and then leads on to Kranskop and Greytown. The linkage to the N2 is vital as it provides for migrant labour transport, and access to commercial and employment markets in the Durban Metro and to the Tongaat/Maidstone, the Dolphin Coast, KwaDukuza, Darnall and Isithebe areas. Main Economic Sectors: Government services, agriculture

approximately 20km inland from, the KwaZulu-Natal coast. The municipality consists mainly of poor black communities whose livelihoods depend on subsistence farming. Located in relatively close proximity to major urban and economic developments, the area has remained substantially underdeveloped, disadvantaged and poor. External access and internal linkage are substantially limited to eastwest roads, while north-south links are few and of poor quality. Much of Ndwedwe Municipality’s detailed planning for the future depends on strategies yet to be developed for the iLembe District Municipality. However, the key short-term objectives that have been identified for Ndwedwe are strongly focused on the provision of basic infrastructure and services to a population that is at present severely lacking in these facilities.

for tourists through its warm ambiance and the expansion of its economy and infrastructure. The Ugu District lies south of Durban, surrounded by a coastline of 112km. The district is made up of six local municipalities: Vulamehlo, Umdoni, uMzumbe, Hibiscus Coast, Ezinqoleni and Umuziwabantu, all of which have played a critical role in the cultivation of the district’s economy. The improvement of its infrastructure, education, health and recreational facilities contributes immensely to its adventurous lifestyle. The nurturing of the local economy highly features tourism and agriculture, and includes the district’s very own Ugu Jazz Festival. It also includes other renowned annual activities, such as the Africa Bike Week, which have gained momentum worldwide. The Hibiscus Coast Municipality is the ultimate economy booster due to its location. Commercial agriculture in the district produces one-fifth of all bananas consumed in South Africa, with numerous companies successfully exporting these and other products to some of the most exclusive packers in the United Kingdom. The Ugu District also prides itself as one of the leading district municipalities in the KwaZulu-Natal province for winning two major technical excellence awards. The municipality won the 2011 South African Institute of Civil Engineers Pietermaritzburg Branch Award for Technical Excellence in the design and construction of the uMzimkhulu Off-Channel Storage Dam, and came third as the Provincial Best Performer in KwaZulu-Natal in terms of Blue Drop municipal scores, thereby earning four Blue Drop Excellence Awards for the municipality’s Water Treatment Works. The district and its communities are the proud owners of Blue Flag Status beaches, which have marked tourism as a major economic cultivator. Main Economic Sectors: Manufacturing (19%), finance, insurance, real estate and business services (17%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accomodation (17%), transport, storage and communication (11%), agriculture, forestry and fishing (8%), community, social and personal services (7%), construction (4%)

OVERVIEW Area: 960km2 Description: Vulamehlo Local Municipality forms part of the Ugu District Municipality. It is located south of the eThekwini Municipality and is bordered by Umdoni to the east, Mkhambathini and Richmond to the north, and Ubuhlebezwe to the west. The municipal area is predominantly tribal, with common tribal land patterns. There are, however, also a few scattered pockets of privately owned land throughout the municipal area. The dispersed, low-density settlement pattern makes the provision of physical and social infrastructure (roads, water, electricity, clinics, schools, and police stations) and the costs of installing, maintaining and operating the infrastructure very high. The Vulamehlo Municipality is one of the localities within the Ugu District that is hardest hit by high unemployment levels, poverty and negative economic growth rate. Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, services

Community Services)

OVERVIEW Area: 1 528km2 Description: Impendle Local Municipality is located outside the primary and secondary movement systems of the uMgungundlovu District, and is some distance away from the major tourist and trade routes, although two important roads mark its borders. The road linking Pietermaritzburg and Underberg that serves as an important access route to the Southern Drakensberg, a popular tourist destination, runs along Impendle’s southern boundary. The link road between Mooi River and Underberg, which is an alternative tourist route, travels along the municipality’s north-western boundary. The Impendle area is extremely diverse in its topography, climate and soil, and has a rich and complex natural environment. Its location at the foot of the Drakensberg makes Impendle a highland area and an important source of water within the KwaZuluNatal province. It is in the catchment area of the Mkhomazi River in the south and the Mngeni River in the north-east. High-density settlements occur around Impendle Town, in villages such as Gomane, KwaNovuka, Similobha and Kamensi. A second layer of relatively dense settlements occurs on the eastern side of the Impendle Mountain, while density decreases sharply towards the west, with a ribbon of small villages running along the Lotheni River.

40km west of Pietermaritzburg. It is bounded by three municipalities: uMngeni in the south, uMshwathi in the east, and Impendle in the west. Mooi River is a small town that germinated from a small farm and then, later, became the principal node of the Mpofana Municipality when a railway line linking Durban with Johannesburg, as well as the Drakensberg Mountains, was established in order to cater for the needs of the farmers in the area. This suggests that Mpofana has great potential for development through tourism. The municipality benefits from its strategic position as it has easy access to rail, KZN provincial roads and the N3 National Road. Almost 50% of the land in Mpofana has the potential for rural farming, with products set for the international market. Cities/Towns: Mooi River Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture, tourism

Msunduzi Municipality is situated on the N3 highway at the junction of an industrial corridor (from Durban to Pietermaritzburg) and an agro-industrial corridor (stretching from Pietermaritzburg to Estcourt). On a regional scale, it is located at the cross-section of the N3 Corridor and the Greytown Road Corridor to the north, a tourist route to Drakensberg, and Kokstad Road to the south.

OVERVIEW Area: 1 818km2 Description: uMshwathi Local Municipality is ideally situated within the uMgungundlovu District Municipality immediately adjacent to Pietermaritzburg. The municipality is located in an area that was largely under the control of tribal authorities until very recently. However, in the remaining portion there are towns built by German immigrants some 150 years ago. In the 1850s, 13 cotton planter families from Osnabruck unter Bergthell left Germany and settled in the area. They were followed by missionaries and other colonists, mostly from Hanover, who also settled in the region, founded New Hanover and Wartburg, and brought with them not only the Lutheran faith but the German language and culture. Wartburg itself is named after the castle in Eisenach, where Dr Martin Luther translated the bible into German. The village crest also depicts the immigrants’ arrival by sailing ship, the Luther Rose, and the call to ‘pray and work’. The land is mostly agricultural, although urban development is to be found in the main towns. The communities living in the underdeveloped areas have extremely limited access to basic physical and social requirements and very few economic opportunities. The present authority structures are, as yet, unable to provide for the improvement of basic living conditions urgently required by the rural inhabitants. Cities/Towns: Cool Air, Dalton, New Hanover, Wartburg Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture, manufacturing, tourism

Both Ndumu and Mkuzi Game Reserves can be found straddling the borders of the Jozini Municipality. Significant portions of Jozini have been neglected in terms of economic development. There is a great disparity between the level of service and infrastructure provision between settlement nodes such as the towns of Mkuze and Jozini, and the surrounding rural areas. Most of the rural area is associated with a lack of development, poverty and poor service provision.

OVERVIEW Area: 2 501km2 Description: Msinga Local Municipality is a largely rural area, with 70% of its area being traditional authority land held in trust by the Ingonyama Trust. The remaining 30% of land is commercial farmland, all of which is located to the north of Pomeroy. Due to the rural nature of the municipality, approximately 99% of the population lives in traditional areas. The municipality is in the south-western part of the district municipality area. The nature of the topography is such that Msinga is largely located in deep gorges of the Tugela and Buffalo Rivers. This effectively isolates the area from the immediate surrounding municipal areas. Msinga is accessible via the R33, linking it with Dundee, Ladysmith, Pietermaritzburg, Kranskop and Weenen. The population dynamics result in a growing rural area and a declining urban area in Msinga, contrary to most other areas in the country. This can be attributed to the fact that the urban areas of Msinga are very small and are unable to provide the normal range of goods and services provided in urban areas. As a result, the population utilises the neighbouring areas of Emnambithi and Umvoti for urban services. The strong traditional culture, particularly prevalent in Msinga, is a valuable asset that must be preserved and valued. These traditional areas provide support mechanisms for the communities, as well as living custodians of the culture.

Nquthu Local Municipality is located along the north-eastern boundary of the district. It borders onto the Endumeni, eMadlangeni, AbaQulusi, Ulundi, Nkandla and Msinga Local Municipalities. It is predominantly rural in nature, with expansive rural settlements being one of the major features. It is mainly accessed through the R68 linking Ulundi to Newcastle/Dundee.

mountainous region of KwaZulu-Natal between Lesotho, the Free State, Emnambithi/Ladysmith and uMtshezi. Okhahlamba is made up of privately owned commercial farmland; smallholder settlements; the urban areas of Bergville, Winterton, Cathkin Park and Geluksberg; and two tribal authority areas. The area is relatively well linked through the network of existing provincial roads that run through the municipality. The municipality is largely reliant on Ladysmith for facilities such as shopping, medical services and education, amongst others. Large capital expenditure is needed to meet service backlogs in the area. Bergville is a small town and is known as the gateway to the Northern Drakensberg. Approximately half a million tourists are attracted to the Drakensberg annually. Bergville hosts an office of the Drakensberg Publicity Association. The ideally-situated agricultural and trading centre of Bergville, less than 50km from the towering Amphitheatre of Royal Natal, was laid out by a retired sea captain in 1897. Two years later, at the onset of the Anglo-Boer War, British forces built a blockhouse in the settlement. The building is now a monument and museum within the grounds of the Bergville Courthouse. The council manages a caravan park and holiday huts on the bank of the uThukela River. A playground and facilities for sports, including swimming, tennis, bowls, cricket, golf, rugby and badminton, are available. A modern community hall serves as a town hall.

coastal region of KwaZulu-Natal, and is part of the uThungulu District Municipality. It is approximately 170km north of Durban. The picturesque town of Melmoth was founded in 1888 as a ‘gold-rush’ town on a portion of the farm Golden Reef, when the British government annexed Zululand in 1887 and established several magisterial districts. It was decided to administer Mthonjaneni from a town named after the resident commissioner – Sir Melmoth Osborn. The former Melmoth Traditional Local Council area is the only town that was incorporated by the Mthonjaneni Municipality. In the past, the town performed the function of a dormitory town (and still does to some extent) for those who worked in the neighbouring town of Ulundi. Mthonjaneni is one of the smallest municipalities in South Africa, but it has the distinction of being regarded as one of the healthiest places to live in this country. It is close to the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi and Opathe Game Reserves. Cities/Towns: Melmoth Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture (33.5%), community services (20.9%), manufacturing (14%), finance (10.9%)

OVERVIEW Area: 2 300km2 Description: uMlalazi Local Municipality is one of six local municipalities located within the area of the uThungulu District Municipality. It is characterised by an undulating topography, causing difficulties with respect to the delivery of engineering services. The municipality is one of the largest local authority areas in South Africa. It borders on the Indian Ocean and has a coastline of approximately 17km. The municipal area consists of commercial farming areas in a broad, continuous band from the west of Eshowe to KwaGingindlovu (previously Gingindlovu) and to the north of Mtunzini. The rest of the area consists of tribal authority land, where land management has been poor. The uMlalazi Municipality is crossed by a number of important transportation routes, such as the N2 motorway between Durban and Richards Bay, the R34

between Richards Bay/Empangeni and Nkwaleni Valley to the north of Eshowe, and the R66 from the N2 motorway to KwaGingindlovu, Eshowe, Melmoth, Ulundi and Vryheid. The population distribution in the municipal area is characterised by relatively high population densities within urban nodes and low densities in rural areas.

OVERVIEW

KWAZULU-NATAL

Area: 3 239km2 Description: uPhongolo Local Municipality is located in the north of the Zululand District Municipality. It lies adjacent to the Swaziland Border and the Mpumalanga Province Border. It has the third-biggest area in the district after the AbaQulusi and Ulundi Municipalities. It is also a gateway to Swaziland and Mpumalanga. Main access to the municipality is via the N2 from Gauteng in the north-west and Durban in the south. The municipality provides regional access to a wide range of tourist activities outside its own boundaries. Main rivers in the municipality are the Mkuze River in the south and the Pongola River in the north, the latter feeding the Pongolapoort Dam located on the eastern boundary of the municipality. Together with the fragmented and sometimes dramatic topography of the area, the municipality contains, in overall terms, very low settlement densities, while on the other hand containing substantial recreational and tourism opportunities. The overall aim in terms of integrated development planning and land use management is to provide a secure environment for investment within the uPhongolo Municipality. The focus is on the investment in social and economic infrastructure and services, which will enable all the people of uPhongolo to make a contribution to the future sustainable development of the area.

ZULULAND DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY

SPONSORED PROFILE

Cllr M A Hlatshwayo MAYOR

Mr J H de Klerk MUNICIPAL MANAGER

OUR VISION We are the Zululand region and are proud of our heritage. We are mindful of the needs of the poor and we seek to reflect the aspirations of our communities. We are committed to responsible and accountable actions, tolerance and concern for racial harmony, protecting our environment, and strengthening the role of women and the youth. We will strive to improve the quality of life in Zululand by providing sustainable infrastructure and promoting economic development and building capacity within our communities. The Zululand District Municipality Budget for the 2014/15 financial year is R869 178 000. This is a R14 209 000 increase compared to the previous financial year’s budget, which was R854 969 000. ‘This budget will assist us in providing service delivery to about one million citizens of this district because we are still committed to improving the quality of life of our communities,’ says the Honourable Mayor.

OVERVIEW Zululand District Municipality (ZDM), situated in the north-eastern part of KwaZulu-Natal, covers an area of approximately 14 799km2. It is primarily a rural district, with a population close to a million. Approximately half of the area is under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities, while the remainder is divided between commerciallyowned farms and conservation areas. This district comprises 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. Ulundi boasts a well-equipped airport. Made up mostly of an urban population of about 25 000, the town of Vryheid is a commercial and business hub, while Ulundi Town, which has an urban population of more than 55 000, is mainly an administrative centre and also the headquarters of the Zululand District Municipality. 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 added fuel to the fire.

Although tourism has started to play a larger role, this by no means fills the gap caused by the closing down of the mines, which has had a knock-on effect on all economic sectors and has particularly been felt 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 through promoting self-reliance and sustainability amongst its residents. To further boost this, ZDM bought 81 tractors a few years ago for all 36 Amakhosi under this district at an estimated cost of more than R15 million. After buying these tractors, the Municipality immediately appointed an agricultural expert to teach people good farming methods/skills. The Municipality now employs a number of ISD officers who, amongst other things, assist the communities with their farming needs. The Municipality believes that assisting people to till the soil will enable them to produce their own food and sustain themselves, helping them to fight hunger and poverty. The District Municipality sets aside an amount of R5,4 million every year for Local Economic Development (LED) projects in the 89 wards. ZDM also provides R20 000 for the widows and orphans in those wards. This is aimed at creating employment opportunities for local residents, alleviating poverty, and redistributing resources and opportunities. Aware of the critical backlog in the provision of water and sanitation, the ZDM is trying its best to address the situation. A large chunk of its budget every financial year goes to solving waterrelated problems as well as sanitation, which is one of the core functions of this district municipality. Meanwhile, the construction of 10 Regional Water Schemes: Nkonjeni, Usuthu, Mandlakazi, Khambi, Mkuze, Hlahlindlela, Simdlangentsha West, Simdlangentsha Central, Simdlangentsha East and Coronation Water Schemes, is continuing. A number of communities are already benefitting from these schemes even though they are still under construction. To boost tourism, the District Municipality has built a new Tourism Hub, which is situated at Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Airport in Ulundi. This hub provides all the relevant information tourists would need, including information about transport and accommodation. Meanwhile, Avis car hire/rental has moved to these new premises, which will benefit the transport industry in Ulundi and in Zululand as a whole. A world-class restaurant is anticipated to be opening soon, as all the equipment is up to standard and ready to be utilised.

TOURIST 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 Pongolapoort Dam – annual tiger fishing competition and boating activities catch the attention of many visitors, including those from outside our shores.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES A good working relationship with local Amakhosi means that land is available for developmental purposes, including agriculture, tourism and manufacturing.

CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF NELSON MANDELA, CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF DEMOCRACY

Cllr T S Mdluli DEPUTY MAYOR

Cllr M Z Nyawo SPEAKER

Mr L C Maka ACTING MUNICIPAL MANAGER

This has resulted in, amongst other things, Interim Distress Relief Initiatives. The Municipality, recognising the distress of poor families, embarked on the following initiatives as interim relief measures:

1. Active participation in operation Sukuma Sakhe, whereby the Mayor mobilised social partners to:

KWAZULU-NATAL

- build houses for orphans - distribute food parcels - supply school uniforms and equipment.

2. Job Expansion Initiative

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR It is a remarkable achievement that South Africa celebrates 20 years of freedom and democracy. However, the people of Jozini had not been experiencing the full benefits of this until the current leadership took over during 2011. Thus far, we have been able to increase provisions for housing as well as electricity for the community. All municipal infrastructure, including roads and halls, has been renovated and maintained. Refuse removal is one of our priorities, as well as the development and implementation of a public participation framework. Complaint management systems have been set up, our ward committees are functioning effectively, and our community development workers (CDWs) programme is flourishing. Revenue enhancement, credit control, and a cash-flow management framework are taken care of, even though we are still challenged by not having our own land as a municipality. We have reached a very crucial milestone by receiving an unqualified audit opinion, 2012/13, for the first time, and we have so far managed to mobilise funding to implement LED projects and attract external investors.

In this programme, we recruited 200 more contract workers from each ward in addition to the 98 that we rotate annually, with a budget of R2 million funded from operating revenue. Women’s empowerment has also been taken care of, with about 21 Women’s Cooperatives having received a number of job opportunities, including the renovation of community halls, crèches, community toilets and sports fields.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES OF THE MUNICIPALITY Tourism is the Key Economic Sector Lake Jozini, as the dam is now called, has become popular as a tiger fishing destination, and because the dam borders with the Pongola Nature and Game Reserve, you can view wildlife from your boat while fireflies light up the early evening shoreline, transforming the water into an incandescent glow of fairy lights. The main attraction in this area is the return of the elephant, though there are also a vast number of other game to be viewed, including: buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, zebra, kudu, bushbuck, duiker, steenbok, hyena, cheetah, wild dog, cerval cat, warthog, and even the occasional sighting of leopard that roam the Lebombo Mountains.

VISION A municipality that provides sustainable service delivery, socioeconomic development and a better life for all.

MISSION To be a professional, effective, efficient and result-orientated municipality that, through integrated effort, continually promotes the social welfare and economic prosperity of all its residents, investors and tourists.

COMMITMENT We have turned the tide against most public servants’ sins by taking action to overcome, amongst other things: • Underspending • Culture of impunity • Sense of urgency • Theft • Substandard performance

Good Climate Jozini Municipality has one of the best climatic conditions in KwaZulu-Natal, and South Africa. This includes the best sunshine (which is conducive for renewable energy generation); weather conditions for good agricultural activity. It is one of a few areas where you can grow crops year round. It also provides leverage for tourism development. The area provides agriculture, drinking water for animals, and is a catalyst for urban development and economic growth. It is also a source of renewable energy for sustainable energy supply to uMkhanyakude District’s economy.

Magnificent Jozini Bridge and Dam Jozini Dam is the third-largest dam in South Africa. The Jozini Dam was originally built to irrigate over 80 000ha of farmland on the Makatini flats, supporting products such as sugar cane, cotton, maize and various subtropical fruits. It is the best tiger fishing

destination in South Africa, with tiger fish of 5-10kg being caught regularly these days now that the fish population in the Jozini Dam is well established.

Strategic Location as a Border Post Jozini Municipality borders two countries that are important to its economic growth: Swaziland and Mozambique. This location is important in terms of major infrastructure and economic development projects and programmes the two countries have embarked upon, in close proximity to our border. The Mozambique government and other SADC countries (Botswana, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and South Africa) have agreed to build one of the largest ports 30km from Kosi Bay, including an urban expansion. This border area is dominated by strategic natural heritage projects such as the Ndumo Game Reserve and Tembe Elephant Park, Kosi Bay, and other similar natural resources.

Above from left: Jozini Bridge – this is one of the most beautiful curved bridges in the country. One can be proud walking over it, as it crosses Jozini Dam for about 650m and stands 60m above the water; Ghost Mountain – this is a great and strange mountain. On top of it is a grey peak shaped like the head of an old woman. Looking east from Mkuze, two very pronounced features rise out of the Lebombo Range. On the left, Gaza, and on the right, Tshaneni. At irregular intervals over the years, strange lights and flickering fires have been seen amongst the cracks and cliffs of the summit. Weird noises and strange calls have also been heard. Eventually it was thought to be haunted but, of course, it wasn’t.

Agriculture Potential

Lebombo Mountain Range The Lebombo Mountain Range is an important natural heritage feature of the Municipality. Historians have recently confirmed that the geological formation starts somewhere around Hluhluwe and ends somewhere in Turkey (Europe). This mountain range is contrasted by uMhlabuyalingana (meaning ‘a widespread, flat area’), starting at the foot of the Lebombo Mountain Range and extending into the ocean. This terrain provides for diverse agricultural practice, given the different weather patterns found within short distances.

Lavumisa and Ponta do Ouro Border Posts (and, possibly, Cecil Mack Pass) Lavumisa and Ponta do Ouro border posts are the most strategic borders of Swaziland and Mozambique. It is through these two border posts that millions of people and millions of tonnes of cargo move between the three countries. They link these countries to South Africa’s premier ports at Richards Bay and Durban Harbours.

Cultural Heritage Jozini is one of the richest areas in KwaZulu-Natal in terms of cultural heritage. Key cultural heritage features include: • Hlathikulu indigenous forest in Jozini (Kwa-Nyawo Traditional Council) • Late Inkosi Dingane’s grave in Hlathikulu Forest • His Majesty, King Goodwill Zwelithini’s Palace in Emachobeni, Ingwavuma.

KWAZULU-NATAL

Jozini Municipality has all the necessary ingredients for massive and diverse agricultural practice, given the climate, soil types and conditions, water availability, and stable weather throughout the year. It is the only area in the whole district in which two to three crop cycles can be harvested. Above: Accommodation facilities – Jozini has a wide range of lodges, hotels, and bed and breakfast accommodation.

Above from left: Usuthu Gorge – the river rises near Amsterdam, Mpumalanga, South Africa, and flows through Swaziland in an easterly direction, where it enters the Lebombo Mountains. The 13km gorge forms the boundary between Swaziland and South Africa. For about 20km, it forms the border between South Africa (province of KwaZulu-Natal) and Mozambique. There, in the Ndumo Game Reserve, it absorbs its largest tributary, the Pongola River. It then meanders through the Mozambiçan coastal plain and empties into southern Maputo Bay, some 85km downstream; Red Cliff – this cliff is situated next to KuMahemane and is located in the Ndumo Game Reserve, with a relaxed resting area for tourists. It is an original clay cliff.

N2, R22 and R66 National Roads These three national roads are important infrastructures for public transport and movement of goods between the three countries.

Jozini Dam Jozini Dam is one of the Municipality’s competitive advantages. The dam is a major source of drinking water for people, irrigation for farmers, and has assisted in completing a massive mall recently opened in Jozini.

Above: Mozi Pan is well known for the abundance of waterbird species found there. Surrounded by rural villages and woodland, the pans are situated on the Mkhuze River floodplain between Mkhuze Game Reserve and Lake St Lucia. The density and diversity of birds heightens during summer and more than 100 species can be seen on a summer’s day. Nile crocodiles and large numbers of hippos are present in the pan system.

MISSION

CREIGHTON ALOE FESTIVAL

The Ingwe Municipality will achieve its vision and strategic development goals by strengthening its working relationship with its communities, sector departments, funders of development and investors, and by promoting good governance and adhering to legislation, while encouraging innovation and creativity.

Every year in the month of July, the Ingwe Municipality comes together with the Southern Midlands Tourism Association to host the Aloe Festival, which is an event organised around the running of steam trains. The year 2014 marked the 10th anniversary of the Festival, which has become an iconic event in southern KwaZulu-Natal. A record 2 008 passengers were attracted to Creighton over the three weekends, with almost 1 000 on the Festival weekend. More than 240 visitors got to see the Gerard Bhengu Gallery. All catering on the train was done by Stanley Radebe, and apart from the jobs created by him, a further 14 people were employed. All hospitality establishments within the Municipality benefitted from the increase in tourists. This economic stimulation is to be welcomed, however, the impact would be greater if it were not bound into a single event. Hopefully as a result of the proactive facilitation between Ingwe Municipality and Transnet Freight Rail, regular steam train rides will become a feature of Creighton and this will attract tourists on a more regular basis.

VALUES

KWAZULU-NATAL

Cllr M W Mtolo SPEAKER

The Ingwe Municipality subscribes to the following values in terms of service delivery: (i) Equity: We are committed to addressing the imbalances of the past, and spatial equity is our ultimate objective. (ii) Honesty: Public service must be provided with trustworthiness and with a conscience loyal to our constituency. (iii) Excellence: Our aim is to go the extra mile for public satisfaction through service delivery. (iv) Respect for Human Dignity: The provision of basic needs like sanitation restores human dignity. (v) Integrity: Public service staff must deliver services with integrity. (vi) Responsiveness: Ingwe Municipality commits itself to responding rapidly to community calls for service delivery.

(vii) Basic Services • Sportsfield – R23 000 000 • Community halls – R16 200 000 • Electrification projects – R23 000 000 • Roads – R4 512 000 • EPWP job creation – R1 000 000 • Community functions – R800 000 • Special programmes – R800 000 • Youth development – R416 000 • Tourism project – R152 000 • LED projects – R760 000 • LED project (external funding) – R25 000 000

MAYOR’S FOREWORD As the mayor of Ingwe Local Municipality, I am delighted to inform you that our community has made considerable strides towards achieving our predetermined goals and objectives in the last three years. Our Integrated Development Plan (IDP) review of this year has highlighted areas within our strategies that require attention and improvement. Even though we successfully provided a platform whereby all our residents could be key participants in the development of the IDP, the challenges remain with intergovernmental relations and sectoral alignment of planning and budgeting. This year we will focus our attention on intergovernmental relations, with the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs being key in this process. The Auditor-General issued an unqualified audit opinion for 2012/13, which set the tone and motivated us to continue giving focused attention to our sound financial management systems, reducing dependency on grants and reducing our debts.

ZIDWENI RURAL HOUSING PROJECT The Zidweni Rural Housing Project is located in Ward 1 of Ingwe Local Municipality within the Amakhuze Traditional Council area, which is situated approximately 25km south-east of Underberg. The custodian of the land is the Ingonyama Trust, and the Amakhuze Traditional Council has given its consent to the Ingonyama Trust Board to enter into a development rights agreement with the Ingwe Municipality. The Municipality identified the Zidweni Rural Housing Project as one of the priority projects included in the Integrated Development Plan in the 2008/09 financial year. The Umpheme Development was appointed by the Ingwe Local Municipality as an implementing agent to package and implement the Zidweni Rural Housing Project through a turnkey contracting strategy. The Project was approved on 11 November 2010 and the stage 1 contract for 500 units was signed on 21 February 2011. The first stage was concluded and all funds drawn down (100%) in November 2012. The second stage application was approved on 13 August 2012 and the contract was concluded on 18 September 2012. Construction commenced in November 2012, with a projected programme of 13 months. The Project was enrolled with the NHBRC, and 292 local labourers were employed. The challenges of this project were: • heavy weather patterns • difficulty in sourcing material locally • lack of capacity of local suppliers • difficulty in sourcing local skilled and semi-skilled labour • two sites that were inaccessible, but we managed to come up with a plan to deliver the material and build the houses. This project was completed successfully within the allocated budget in March 2014. The technical (PSC) and think-tank meetings to discuss the progress and challenges on site took place every month, and all stakeholders, namely the Municipality, DOHS, IA and PSC were fully committed to this project. As a municipality, we ended up winning the Govan Mbeki Award under the category of Best Rural Housing Project.

VISION

KEY ECONOMIC SECTORS AND OPPORTUNITIES

A safe, vibrant city in which to live, learn, raise a family, work, play and do business.

Pietermaritzburg has a diverse economy with a robust manufacturing sector, which is excelling in exports to markets as diverse as aluminium products, cut flowers, automotive components, and furniture. The city has achieved unprecedented growth in economic activity since 2003, with business confidence at a high of 83. The property and retail sectors have grown by 30% since 2003. Major recent developments include the Liberty Midlands Mall, the Golden Horse Casino and Hotel, ‘Motor City’ (a zone of all the established motor dealerships), and Victoria Country Club Golf Estate.

MISSION To ensure that the Municipality functions effectively and in a sustainable manner in order to deliver service of excellence to the community.

ORGANISATIONAL GOALS • A healthy citizenry, with access to affordable, quality health care • A safe city, with low crime levels and quality living areas • An efficiently managed, financially viable and sustainable city • A well-governed city underpinned by meaningful public participation • A vibrant economic centre, attracting investment, supporting business development and creating jobs • A city where all have access to habitable human settlements – decent houses, clean water and proper sanitation • An environmentally sustainable and healthy city • A well-planned, spatially integrated city.

PIETERMARITZBURG: ‘CITY OF CHOICE, SECOND TO NONE’ Pietermaritzburg, situated within the Msunduzi Local Municipality, is the capital city of the KwaZulu-Natal province. Pietermaritzburg has come a long way from the quiet, colonial outpost it once was. Today, it is a modern South African city that is home to over 600 000 people of diverse cultures.

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SURROUNDINGS The city is the legislative and administrative capital of KwaZulu-Natal, and houses the Supreme Court and Deeds Office for the province. It boasts an excellent network of road, rail and air linkages. It was recently voted the second most desirable city to live in, a reflection of the excellent residential areas, array of top schools in the country, including the internationally acclaimed University of KZN, and hosting of major sporting and other events. Some of the many tourist attractions include: the Natal Museum, Tatham Art Gallery, City Hall and SANBI Botanical Gardens. Some of the many entertainments include: the Golden Horse Casino and Liberty Midlands Mall. Some of the many beautiful surrounding areas include: Albert Falls Nature Reserve, Howick Falls, Midmar Public Nature Reserve, Queens Elizabeth Park and World’s View.

KWAZULU-NATAL

Cllr Chris Ndlela MAYOR

Pietermaritzburg is the ‘City of Choice’ because it is: • only 45 minutes by road from Durban (Africa’s busiest port) • one hour away by road to the new King Shaka Airport • one hour by air from Pietermaritzburg Airport to OR Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg), and 90 minutes from the central Drakensberg resorts • an educational centre of excellence • home to great international events such as the Comrades Marathon, the Duzi Marathon and the Midmar Mile. Here, one can walk in the footsteps of Gandhi, Mandela and Paton, and many other truly great South Africans. In 1962, Nelson Mandela was arrested in the nearby town of Howick to the north of Pietermaritzburg. The arrest marked the beginning of Nelson Mandela’s 27 years of imprisonment. A monument has been erected at the location of his arrest. Pietermaritzburg is also famous for a train incident in the early life of Mahatma Gandhi, who refused to move out of first class because he had a valid ticket, and so was thrown off the train at Pietermaritzburg. Out of that struggle emerged his unique version of nonviolent resistance, Satyagraha. Today, a bronze statue of Gandhi stands in Church Street, in the city centre.

Above from left: A bronze statue of Gandhi stands in Church Street, in the city centre; The City Hall, which is the largest red-brick building in the Southern Hemisphere, was destroyed by fire in 1895, but was rebuilt in 1901. It was declared a national monument in 1969; The Toursim Hub Building.

• improving job creation opportunities and tourism service excellence • channelling efforts towards entrepreneurial opportunities in tourism. Furthermore, the Municipality’s focus is on ensuring overall competitiveness as a tourist destination through expanding its tourism product base and packages. This will create an effective operating environment and enable tourism products to bring hope to the local people of uMhlabuyalingana. During the preceding financial year, the Municipality managed to train a total number of 34 local youth members from the Mazambane Reserve. This reserve is the farthest north, situated on the border between uMhlabuyalingana Municipality and Mozambique, where most tourist activities take place. Some local community members safeguard tourist camps, providing hospitality services such as washing and cooking, while others offer their services as tour guides. uMhlabuyalingana has had several achievements and challenges. It takes pride in having achieved milestone projects such as the electrification of Madonela, which has brought light and hope into the lives of the uMhlabuyalingana people. The Municipality has also successfully completed the construction of the Mntanenkosi and Qongwane Roads, amongst others. The following infrastructure projects are currently in progress: construction of Zangomeni-Mvelabusha Road (4km) and Mfihlweni-Mfakubheka Road (4km). The construction of the following sportsfields is also in progress: Scabazini, Mboza, Nyamazane and Bhekabantu Sportsfields. The Municipality has allocated R10 million to electrify 500 households in Sbhoweni and Mboza.

Limpopo, South Africa’s northernmost province, borders onto Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Botswana. It also borders the Mpumalanga, Gauteng and North West provinces. Named after the Limpopo River, which fl ows along its northern border, it is a region of contrasts, from true Bushveld country to majestic mountains, primeval indigenous forests, unspoiled 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 125 754km2 and being home to a population of 5 404 868. The capital is Polokwane (previously Pietersburg). Other major cities and towns include BelaBela (Warmbad), Lephalale (Ellisras), Makhado (Louis Trichardt), Musina (Messina), 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 middlegrade 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.

province, in the northern part of South Africa, bordering Zimbabwe and Botswana. It takes its name from the Blouberg (blue mountains), a mountain range located to the west of the western end of the Soutpansberg Mountain Range, north-west of the town of Vivo. Blouberg is home to some of the most spectacular rock climbing in South Africa. It is famous for its big-wall natural climbing, with route lengths up to 350m. The vegetation ranges from subtropical savanna at the base, to alpine near the summit. Blouberg is a hot area with annual rainfall varying between 380 and 550mm. Most rainfall is experienced during the summer months. Evapotranspiration during the rainy season is very high. The area is prone to frequent drought, which has an adverse effect on the local economy. The only perennial river is the Mogalakwena River, which feeds the Glen Alpine Dam, the only source of pipeline water in the area.

OVERVIEW Area: 3 766km2 Description: Polokwane Local Municipality is located within the

FINANCIAL INFORMATION*

Capricorn District in the Limpopo province. It shares its name with the city of Polokwane (previously Pietersburg). In February 2002, the city was renamed Polokwane – a northern Sesotho word that means ‘place of safety’. It is a city with more than a century of phenomenal growth and prosperity. Polokwane Municipality accounts for 3% of the total surface area of Limpopo, however, over 10% of the population of Limpopo resides within its boundaries. The municipality serves as the economic hub of Limpopo, and has the highest population density in the Capricorn District. The municipal spatial pattern reflects that of the historic apartheid city model, characterised by segregated settlement. At the centre of the area is the Polokwane economic hub, which comprises the central business district, industrial area, and a range of social services and well-established formal urban areas servicing the more affluent residents of Polokwane. Situated on the outskirts in several clusters are less formal settlement areas, which are experiencing enormous influx from rural urban migration trends. These areas are in dire need of upgraded services and infrastructure, both social and engineering, and are struggling to cope with the informal influx of more and more people who want access to an improved quality and standard of living. Cities/Towns: Polokwane Main Economic Sectors: Community services (32.1%), finance (21.5%), wholesale and retail trade (18.3%), transport (11.7%), manufacturing (4.8%), mining (4.2%)

local municipalities: Blouberg, Modimolle, Mogalakwena and Thabazimbi. Its north-western border is also part of the international border between South Africa and Botswana. The Lephalale Municipality is the biggest municipality in the Limpopo province. The town of Lephalale (previously Ellisras) is located a mere 280km from Pretoria, and is a recognised gateway to Botswana and other Southern African countries. Lephalale Municipality is named after the local river, a tributary of the Limpopo River, which has been the source of life to the people of this area from time immemorial. Before the new dispensation, this municipality was called Ellisras; derived from the combination of surnames of two Afrikaners, Patric Ellis and Piet Erasmus, who settled in this area in the 1930s. Nestled at the spur of the Waterberg Mountains, Lephalale is a place of peace and breathtaking beauty.

Area: 11 190km2 Description: Thabazimbi Local Municipality is located in the southwestern part of the Limpopo province, has Botswana as its international neighbour, and is a mere two-hour drive from Pretoria. Thabazimbi is known as ‘mountain of iron’, which is a Setswana name referring to the highly lucrative iron ore reef first discovered in the municipality in 1919. The municipality has Marakele National Park, which is a subsidiary of the National Parks Board, and in the same standard as the Kruger National Park and Mapungube. It has been mined since the 1930s, when iron and steel production started. Today, Iscor Steelworks in Pretoria still draw much of their raw material from Thabazimbi Kumba Resources (iron ore mine). Apart from iron ore, the Thabazimbi Municipality is surrounded by platinum-producing areas. Other minerals produced in the area include andalusite. The municipal area falls within the Waterberg District Municipality. Agriculture has also proven to be a strong economic sector in the municipality. Agricultural commodities produced are wheat, beans and maize. The municipality’s goals are aligned with those of the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy in Limpopo. This will ensure that the growth trajectory also addresses the objective of poverty eradication through job creation and business opportunity stimulation. With regard to public participation, Thabazimbi Municipality has made significant progress in terms of the development of the organs of participatory democracy, such as Ward Committees and IDP forums. Another positive aspect is the increasing representation of women in various structures, e.g. 50% of councillors are female.

PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION Grootegeluk produces 18.8Mtpa final coal products. Approximately 14.6Mt of Grootegeluk’s annual production of power station coal is destined for Eskom’s Matimba Power Station, transported by means of a 7km conveyor belt.

MINING Mining at Grootegeluk can be described as a conventional shovel-and-truck operation. After about 1m of topsoil has been removed, the overburden is drilled and blasted before being loaded by a 25m3 hydraulic shovel into 180- and 200-tonne trucks. Twelve million tonnes of overburden is hauled annually to the adjacent dumps where it is stacked. Once the open-pit mine has reached its ultimate depth, the overburden and plant waste will be used as backfill for the mine’s rehabilitation programme. Mining of the upper level of the coal deposit is undertaken by three 20m rope shovels and ten 181-tonne and fourteen 200-tonne trucks at a rate of 16 million tonnes per year. This yields about 1,6 million tonnes of coking coal and five million tonnes of power station coal after beneficiation in the Grootegeluk 1 plant. The lower 15m of this zone are not suitable for coking coal due to its phosphorous content. After beneficiation in the Grootegeluk 2 plant, it is sent to the Matimba Power Station at a rate of 4,5 million tonnes per year.

GEOGRAPHY AND LOCATION This municipality is situated in the north-western part of Limpopo and borders Thabazimbi, Modimolle, Mogalakwena and Blouberg Municipalities. It is a gateway to Botswana, bordering it to the west, with four international border posts.

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 76 495km2 and has a population of 4 039 939, 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. Mbombela (previously Nelspruit) is the capital of the province and the administrative and business centre of the Lowveld. Other major cities and towns include eMalahleni (previously Witbank), Standerton, eMkhondo (previously Piet Retief), Malalane, Ermelo, Barberton and Sabie. The best-performing sectors in the province include mining, manufacturing and services. Tourism and agro-processing 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 sub-region, 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.

Mbombela (previously Nelspruit) is the capital of Mpumalanga, situated in the Mbombela Local Municipality, which is also the home of the Mpumalanga Provincial Government and, as a result, is the most concentrated economic hub within the province. It features three border gates to both Swaziland and Mozambique (Matsamo, Komatipoort and Mananga border gates) and, therefore, movement of people from neighbouring countries to the district, and from Gauteng to either Swaziland or Mozambique, creates a catalyst for the economic life of the area.

OVERVIEW Area: 5 394km2 Description: Mbombela Local Municipality is situated in the Mpumalanga province. The municipality came about through the amalgamation of previous local councils in December 2000. The local councils were Nelspruit Transitional Rural Council (TRC), White River TRC, White River Transitional Local Council (TLC), Hazyview TLC, and the Greater Nelspruit Area. Mbombela (previously Nelspruit) is the capital of the Mpumalanga province. Mbombela is the Siswati word for ‘a lot of people together in a small space’. The city serves as a gateway to some of the best eco- and adventure activities in Southern Africa and, with its moderate climate, becomes the preferred tourist destination all year round. Its subtropical fruits (like mangoes, avocados, oranges, lemons, litchis and bananas) are a huge drawcard for visitors, and during springtime the blossoms of orange trees can be smelt kilometres away. For shopping enthusiasts, the city offers world-class shopping malls, casinos and entertainment venues with air-conditioning systems. This creates excellent opportunities for prospective investors and businesses to establish themselves in the area. Cities/Towns: Emoyeni, Entokozweni, Hazyview, Kaapschehoop, Kabokweni, Kanyamazane, Luphisi, Matsulu, Mbombela, Mpakeni, Msogwaba, Ngodwana, Skukuza, Tekwane, White River Main Economic Sectors: Finance and business services (21.7%), manufacturing (17.8%), government services (16.4%), trade (13.4%), transport and communications (10.2%), community services (9.2%), agriculture (3.6%), construction (3.2%), mining (2.5%)

METRO MUNICIPALITY

Transitional Local Councils and two Transitional Rural Councils – the historic towns of Piet Retief and Amsterdam. Piet Retief, now known as eMkhondo, is surrounded by forestry and plantations. Much of its economy originates from these sources. Three major sawmills, Mondi, Tafibra and PG Bison, are located just outside of eMkhondo. These play a crucial role in boosting a well-diversified economy, and the other components of manufacturing, personal services, real estate and tourism. Amsterdam/KwaThandeka and its rural nodes in the Mkhondo municipal area are fundamentally agricultural and have forestry support. Mondi, Sappi, TWK and Komati Land Forests are the major companies that lead the forestry industry in the area. Several scattered pockets of mining are found in the municipal area of jurisdiction. Natural conservation and tourist activities also contribute towards the socio-economic conditions of the municipality. A number of South African Heritage Sites are found within the municipality. These include the Entombe Battlefield, Rooikraal, Confidence, Kalkoenvlakte and Heyshope Dam. The Morgestond and Athole Nature Reserves and Amsterdam Conservation are two sites managed by the Mpumalanga Parks Board. Cities/Towns: Amsterdam, eMkhondo (previously Piet Retief) Main Economic Sectors: Forestry and agriculture

RESTORING DIGNITY, SAVING LIVES AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT WoF addresses the prevention and control of veld and forest ﬁres to enhance the sustainability and protection of life, property and the environment through the implementation of Integrated Fire Management (IFM) practices. The key objectives of the programme are: • Restoring Dignity • Saving Lives • Protecting the Environment.

There is a large collection of testimonials that acknowledge the contribution of WoF fire fighters to the country’s overall Integrated Fire Management capacity. During the period 1 May – 31 October 2014, WoF fire fighters (ground and aerial) had to suppress just over 2 700 fires across South Africa; The fires caused damage to an estimated 1 161 800 hectares of fynbos, plantations and vegetation.

WoF has grown from its humble origins, involving 25 teams (850 beneficiaries) in September 2003 to its current force of 5000 personnel, spread across 200 bases in all the provinces of South Africa. The WoF programme employs 29% females in its ranks; the highest level of female participation in any similar fire fighting service in the world.

The WoF programme also supports municipalities in their structural firefighting capacities. There are currently 217 WoF structural fire fighters based in 31 municipalities across South Africa. These fire fighters provide an essential service by supporting local municipalities in bolstering their fire services.

World-Class Training

The training provided in the WoF programme is modelled on international best practice and has transformed formerly unskilled youth into productive members of the community.

Skills development and contributing to Integrated Fire Management

The life skills components of the basic training provide beneﬁciaries with a platform for personal growth and progress through the ranks of the WoF programme. The contribution of the WoF programme to the overall Integrated Fire Management capacity in South Africa has been widely acknowledged by ﬁre management professionals and the general public at large.

Structural Fire Fighters

Creating Sustainable Work Opportunities

WoF focuses on creating work opportunities for the youth. These WoF beneficiaries have all been drawn from the ranks of the unemployed, poor youth. Today, they are confident and highly-motivated young men and women making up a disciplined, highly-trained force that is highly regarded by international experts. These jobs are not simply temporal or ephemeral job opportunities but fundamental rungs on the career ladder for these fire fighters, allowing them to gain work experience and skills required for jobs in the broader market and/or rise in the ranks of managing the WoF programme.

OVERVIEW

province within the jurisdiction of the Nkangala District Municipality (NDM). Emalahleni Municipality is one of six local municipalities in the NDM and is situated in the west of the Nkangala District. It forms part of the western regions of the Mpumalanga province and borders onto the Gauteng province. The Thembisile Hani Municipality and Victor Khanye Municipality (previously Delmas Municipality) in the Nkangala District, and City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng, border the Emalahleni Municipality to the north and west. The Steve Tshwete Municipality (previously Middelburg Municipality) is located to the east and the Gert Sibande District Municipality borders Emalahleni to the south. The Emalahleni Municipality is strategically located in terms of the provincial context and transport network. It is situated in close proximity to the City of Johannesburg, City of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipalities in Gauteng, and is connected to these areas by the N4 and N12 freeways. These freeways converge at eMalahleni (previously Witbank) in Emalahleni, from where the N4 extends to Mbombela (previously Nelspruit), the provincial capital, and ultimately Maputo in Mozambique. The N4 freeway, along with the railway line that runs adjacent to the freeway from Gauteng to Mozambique, constitute the Maputo Corridor. The southern areas of the Emalahleni Municipality form part of the region referred to as the Energy Mecca of South Africa, due to its rich deposits of coal reserves and power stations. eMalahleni and Middelburg (situated in the adjacent Steve Tshwete Municipality) are the highest order settlements in the Nkangala District. These towns offer the full spectrum of business and social activities, and both towns have large industrial areas. The towns fulfil the function of service centres to the smaller towns and settlements, as well as farms in the district. Cities/Towns: Kriel, Ogies, Phola, eMalahleni Main Economic Sectors: Mining, electricity, steel and vanadium

LED ACTIVITIES Key Projects: Agricultural commonages in Ga-Nala (maize farming); vegetable farming to a cooperative in KwaGuqa.

Key Investment Opportunities: Retail development – two malls, one situated in the township and the other in the urban area adjacent to the N4 highway; investment nodal point where the N4 coming from Mbombela splits into two highways, the N4 heading to Pretoria and N12 heading to Johannesburg; housing and accommodation; tourism and CBD revitalisation to be conducted.

Mr Theo Van Vuuren ADMINISTRATOR

Mr Lebohang Mofokeng MANAGER: COMMUNICATION

MPUMALANGA

FOREWORD BY THE ADMINISTRATOR Let me start with an extract from the National Development Plan 2030, which, amongst others, states: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A capable state does not materialise by decree, nor can it be legislated or waved into existence by declarations. It has to be built, brick by brick, institution by institution, and sustained and rejuvenated over time. It requires leadership, sound policies, skilled managers and workers, clear lines of accountability, appropriate systems, and consistent and fair application of rules. For us to deliver services, we need strong institutions with the requisite capacities to translate policy intent into programmes that are implemented to respond to the needs of the people. We need institutions that are able to account for how public resources are utilised efficiently and effectively to deliver on agreed development outcomes.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We, as councillors and officials entrusted with providing services and building and upholding a living environment for our communities, need to take the above statements to heart. We find ourselves in the unfortunate position of having been found disempowered from fulfilling our obligations in a consistent and acceptable manner. We have started a process of recovery, beginning with the Turnaround Strategy as adopted by Council and the provincial Cabinet. This process reflects on the statement above; it requires us to rebuild the Municipality brick by brick and it requires leadership, skills and, above all, your commitment. Much has happened since my appointment and the previous memorandum to you and I am convinced that we have started with the rebuilding process. It was indeed a challenging time, but I believe that as a municipality we have made a huge stride towards restoring the Municipality to being a place of performance excellence and a vehicle for serving our communities.

priorities of maintenance and service delivery. The IDP, budget and SDBIPS have been approved. In the coming month, a revision of the budget, based on the mobilisation of additional support from government and the private sector, will be tabled to Council to concretise the strategy. From the end of September we will start engaging with our communities again on the new cycle of preparing an IDP. We trust that as we go on, we will be able to fully align municipal support with the real needs. We will also be having a budget session towards the end of this month, aimed at ensuring that the budget is more closely aligned with the needs and development priorities. c. Long-term investments to re-establish the infrastructure

base and allow for the future expansion of services and growing the economy This phase has started and is mainly based on developing plans and funding arrangements and on mobilising support from all sectors. This is an enormous task, with an estimated R8 billion needed over the next five years. The Turnaround Strategy has been accepted by Council and also approved by the provincial Executive Council. This strategy was informed by the IDP and various other inputs, and guided by the refinement of the 2013/14 budget as well as the SDBIPs. A further review and alignment of the budget was scheduled for September 2013. Detailed progress is monitored in two ways: firstly, through a monitoring function by the key members of the team in relation to the strategy, and secondly, through monthly progress reporting on the budget and SDBIPs.

MUNICIPAL TURNAROUND STRATEGY

BACKGROUND

A comprehensive turnaround strategy has been adopted by the Council and the Provincial Government to ensure that we address all issues hampering our sustainability and performance. This strategy serves as the road map for a comprehensive three-phased approach, where we focus on the following:

Emalahleni Local Municipality is situated in the Mpumalanga province within the jurisdiction of the Nkangala District Municipality (NDM). Emalahleni Municipality is one of six local municipalities in the NDM and is situated in the west of the Nkangala District. It forms part of the western regions of the Mpumalanga province and borders onto the Gauteng province. The Thembisile Hani Municipality and Victor Khanye Municipality (previously Delmas Municipality) in the Nkangala District, and City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng, border the Emalahleni Municipality to the north and west. The Steve Tshwete Municipality (previously Middelburg Municipality) is located to the east and the Gert Sibande District Municipality borders Emalahleni to the south. The Emalahleni Municipality is strategically located in terms of the provincial context and transport network. It is situated in close proximity to the City of Johannesburg, City of Tshwane and Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipalities in Gauteng, and is connected to these areas by the N4 and N12 freeways. These freeways converge at eMalahleni (previously Witbank) in Emalahleni,

a. Short-term stabilisation and empowerment of the

Municipality This stage focused on staffing and relationship matters, with the aim of enabling the Municipality to be responsive to the huge demands we face on a daily basis. This stage is still ongoing, but is largely completed. b. Medium-term interventions through activities and funding

in the budget and IDP/Intervention Strategy The focus in the IDP, and resulting budget and SDBIPS, is on creating municipal sustainability and addressing the immediate

The Administrator has been tasked to urgently come up with a recovery plan aimed at securing the Municipality’s ability to meet its obligation to provide basic services, including financial commitments. It is important to note that this intervention only relates to the executive and administrative powers and functions of Council and that the legislative powers, as vested in terms of section 160(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, are not affected.

from where the N4 extends to Mbombela (previously Nelspruit), the provincial capital, and ultimately Maputo in Mozambique. The N4 freeway, along with the railway line that runs adjacent to the freeway from Gauteng to Mozambique, constitutes the Maputo Corridor. The southern areas of the Emalahleni Municipality form part of the region referred to as the Energy Mecca of South Africa, due to its rich deposits of coal reserves and power stations. eMalahleni and Middelburg (situated in the adjacent Steve Tshwete Municipality) are the highest order settlements in the Nkangala District. These towns offer the full spectrum of business and social activities, and both towns have large industrial areas. The towns fulfil the function of service centres to the smaller towns and settlements, as well as farms in the district.

POLITICAL MANAGEMENT

Acting Director of Administration and Human Resources: Mr M J Vilane

The MEC for the Mpumalanga Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Simon Skhosana, introduced Mr Theo J van Vuuren to the Emalahleni Local Municipality as their new Administrator with effect from 23 April 2013. That followed the provincial Executive Council’s decision to put the Emalahleni Local Municipality under administration in terms of Section 139(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996. The Executive Council’s decision came after MEC Skhosana expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the Municipality. This state of affairs has crippled the Municipality in its constitutional mandate to ensure the provision of basic services. Some of the problems faced by the Municipality include inconsistent water supply; poor state of municipal infrastructure like roads, electricity and wastewater treatment plants; and allegations by external service providers of high levels of engagement in corruption by some officials and high costs of doing business with the Municipality.

Clr Mishack Nhlabathi EXECUTIVE MAYOR

Clr Snana Emily Dhlamini MADAM SPEAKER

Clr Tunu Agnes Mnisi CHIEF WHIP

The Gert Sibande offices, which were previously located in Secunda, are located on the N17 Corridor in Ermelo. The District is bounded by Ekurhuleni Metro in the Gauteng province to the west, Sedibeng District Municipality (DM) in the northern Free State to the south-west, Ehlanzeni DM to the north-east in the Mpumalanga province, Nkangala DM to the north in Mpumalanga province, Amajuba DM to the south-east in KwaZulu-Natal, and Swaziland to the east. The Gert Sibande DM is an economic hub for mining, agriculture and tourism. It is also the home to huge industries such as Sasol, Eskom, Mondi, and other gold and coal mines. The centrality of the offices ensures easy access to the District by stakeholders and rural communities, which ensures cost effectiveness. The office building consists of 182 offices, with a state-of-the-art reference library open to the communities. This building is designed to be interactive as it has an Expo Centre that can be used for events such as wedding expos, farmers’ expos, and can even host conferences. The construction of these offices began with planning in May 2008. This huge project took only 17 months and was completed in February 2011. The project has provided numerous job opportunities for local labour and business.

VISION A district municipality striving to excel in good governance and quality infrastructure.

MISSION Ensuring a better life for all in the District through: • municipal infrastructure development • economic and tourism promotion • functioning ward committee system • community and stakeholder participation • efficient systems and administration • human development.

HISTORY According to the Census 2011 estimates, Gert Sibande is home to 1 043 194 people. The District has shown a slightly larger population growth than provincial and national averages – 1.7% per annum on average from 1996 to about 2007, compared to 1.6% in the province and 1.3% nationally. In the same period, Mkhondo grew at an annual average rate of 3.2%, making it the fastest-growing municipal population, followed by Dr Pixley Ka Isaka Seme (2.3%), Msukaligwa (2.3%), Lekwa (2.1%) and Govan Mbeki (1.7%), while Dipaleseng (0.2%) and Chief Albert Luthuli (0.3%) rates were the only municipalities below the provincial average. More than half of the District’s population (52.76%) and almost two thirds of the households (62.04%) live in urbanised areas. With nearly a third of the households (29.67%) residing on farmland, a lot of pressure has been put on local municipalities in the region to collaborate with farmowners to provide land, a challenge that has been faced to a greater or lesser extent in most parts of South Africa. Furthermore, people residing in rural areas (more than 8% of the District’s population) do not own the land on which they live, which means they do not qualify for receiving housing subsidies that come with proper services. In 2008, blacks accounted for the majority (90.7%) of the Gert Sibande population, while whites, coloureds and Asians comprised 8.2%, 0.5% and 0.7% respectively. This variable is consistent with both the provincial and national population characteristics. In the case of the constituent local municipalities, Chief Albert Luthuli, which is a more rural municipality, has the highest number of blacks, contributing 97.8%, while Govan Mbeki has the lowest number of black people in the entire Gert Sibande District Municipality (GSDM) area. In contrast to all the municipalities, Govan Mbeki and Lekwa have over 10% of their population being white, 0.15% and 0.11% respectively, while Chief Albert Luthuli has the lowest number of white people. The trend throughout the GSDM is that there are more blacks, followed by whites, coloureds, then the Asian population, with the exception of Lekwa, where there are more coloureds than whites.

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 104 882km2 and has a population of 3 509 953. 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 19 local municipalities.

Potchefstroom is thus a very accessible city that welcomes business, trade and manufacturing. With the well-developed infrastructure of Potchefstroom, it has been able to sustain a positive economic growth rate throughout the transition period in South Africa and, together with its abundance of water and electricity, holds great opportunities for future growth. Potchefstroom is situated in the North West province and is one of the four municipalities in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality.

NORTH WEST

Gold mining is the dominant economic activity in the district, with Potchefstroom and Ventersdorp being the only exceptions. While Ventersdorp to the north-west of Potchefstroom focuses on agricultural activity, Potchefstroom’s economic activity is driven by services and manufacturing. A big role-player in the provision of services in Potchefstroom is the world-class North-West University, which has its main campus in Potchefstroom. Regarding manufacturing, Potchefstroom’s industrial zone has many companies, focusing mainly on the industries of steel, food and chemicals, with big entities such as King Korn, Kynoch, Naschem and the Soya Protein Process (SPP) company. This makes Potchefstroom a very important role-player in the economy of the North West province as provision here is made for local, national and international markets. Within the city centre, the infrastructure of Potchefstroom supports roughly 600 businesses. The addition of the newly built Mooirivier Mall has expanded commercial options for many businesses. Furthermore, a wide range of medical practices, together with other service-related businesses, are readily available all around the city. Cities/Towns: Potchefstroom Main Economic Sectors: Community (43%), trade (13%), finance (13%), agriculture (10%), manufacturing (7%), transport (6%), mining (5%)

NORTH WEST

The municipal area is predominantly rural and contains 106 widely scattered villages. Greater Taung has a rich heritage that visitors can explore. The area also has strong agricultural significance in the South African economy. The Taung Skull Heritage Route is a fascinating journey of discovery. The route follows an area in which early man once lived, and it has many sites that show us the existence and evolution of our ancient ancestors. Spanning more than 45km, the route includes several natural wonders, such as Thomeng (an unusual limestone waterfall) and Blue Pools (a collection of rock pools, streams and caves in a valley). It was at the limestone diggings on this route, at the old Buxton quarry, that the lime-encrusted skull of a child was found in 1924. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a monument has been put in place to mark the discovery. Cities/Towns: Pudimoe, Reivilo, Taung

METRO MUNICIPALITY

the Ngaka Modiri Molema Distrct Municipality. The data from Global Insight Regional Explorer 593 indicates that there has been tremendous improvement in the allocation of services to the communities in the Tswaing Local Municipality, especially housing, water, electricity and sanitation. Despite these positive results, the municipality still faces challenges with regards to backlogs in the provision of water, electricity, sanitation, roads and street lighting. The main reason for this is the increase in population in the past 10 years, partly due to evictions of people in the surrounding farms and partly because of the natural growth of the population.

Cllr Boitumelo Pinky Moloi MAYOR

INTRODUCTION The Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality (DRKKDM) consists of four local municipalities, namely: Matlosana, Tlokwe City Council, Maquassi Hills and Ventersdorp. The statistical information is the combination of the Census 2011, the 2007 Community Survey by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA), the Quantec Research of 2008, the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality Spatial Development Framework of 2011, and other analyses described hereunder. The analyses are based upon demarcation boundaries as at 2010 provided by Stats SA.

NORTH WEST

DRKKDM TOTAL POPULATION According to Stats SA (Census 2011), the population of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District (based on 2010 boundaries) is 695 933, having increased from 599 670 in 2001. The population is unevenly distributed amongst the four Local Municipalities (LMs) and the average annual growth rate of the District is 1.49%. The majority of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District population reside within the City of Matlosana LM (57.29%), followed by Tlokwe City Council LM (23.39%). The two local municipalities with the smaller percentages of the District population are Maquassi Hills (11.18%) and Ventersdorp (8.15%). The number of wards per local municipality is: Matlosana (35), Tlokwe City Council (26), Maquassi Hills (11) and Ventersdorp (6) with a total of 78 in the District Municipality as at 2 September 2010. The number of households within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District was estimated at about 208 047 during 2011 (Stats SA, Census 2011).

STRATEGIC GOALS AND OBJECTIVES • • • • • • •

To promote physical infrastructure development and services To promote socio-economic development To provide environmental health services To ensure disaster risk management To promote integrated transport services To promote community safety To ensure internal municipal excellence

NB: These goals are in support of the 5-year strategic agenda for local government and with cognizance of the strategic imperatives facing the District.

ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES The majority of households in the DM (98.65%) have access to piped water either inside their dwelling, inside their yard or from an access point outside their yard. More than 75% have access to refuse removal at least once a week, while almost 85% have sanitation that is connected to a formal sewage system. Almost 80% of the population stay in formal dwellings and more than 80% have access to one or other form of electricity access, with lighting in dwellings at about 90%.

Cllr M Zephe SPEAKER

Ms Matlakala Matthews MUNICIPAL MANAGER

HIGHLIGHTS – 2013/14 FINANCIAL YEAR Investing in Education: MAYORAL BURSARY FUND The Office of the Executive Mayor spent over R7,315 million towards the Mayoral Bursary Fund during the 2013/14 financial year. The amount covers a total number of 594 deserving applicants, who are unable to afford tertiary education due to the socio-economic statuses within their immediate families. These applicants are from within the boundaries of the DRKKDM and are only pursuing careers at institutions of higher learning across the country.

Our Share in Creating Jobs: DISTRICT MAYORAL CLEANING PROJECT The primary purpose and mission of the project/programme remains the beautification of the residential areas of Tshing Township in Ventersdorp, and Tswelelang, Kgakala, Lebaleng and Rulaganyang Townships in Maquassi Hills, following the launch by the Executive Mayor. The direct or immediate benefits of this project/programme will be temporary, but decent job creation, poverty alleviation, economic diversification, empowerment, and the support of smalland medium-sized businesses in the local area will also be realised, taking a serious stride in the direction of developing a healthconscious society. Approximately 178 youths will directly benefit from the project in the form of temporary employment.

Mutual Benefit and Ownership: PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY The Office of the Executive Mayor, through collaboration with the local municipalities, has identified the need for the prevention of water losses. The losses have resulted in large quantities of unaccounted water going through the system. These can also be traced to a study conducted by the District Municipality to investigate the electricity and water losses experienced by the Maquassi Hills Local Municipality, where it was established that the losses were caused by illegal connections and leakages throughout the systems. The duties and services of the local municipal Water Services Department stipulate that they officially stop servicing the water infrastructure after installation, which is the status for all our local municipalities. The dweller is then responsible for the maintenance of the system, though due to the dwellers’ lack of plumbing skills, maintenance is almost nonexistent, resulting in water losses. The success of the training will be determined by the successful maintenance of the sanitary systems of households. Mining giant AngloGold Ashanti committed to assisting with the training of beneficiaries, which commenced on 1 May 2014.

Community Employment and Development: EXPANDED PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME Incentive Grant Funds from the Department of Public Works are used to eradicate sanitation backlogs in the rural areas within DRKKDM’s jurisdiction. The areas benefitting from this noble endeavour are Dominionville (25 units), a small communal land area located within the City of Matlosana Local Municipality, as well as Welgevonden (35 units) and Boikhutsong (35 units) Villages situated in the Ventersdorp Local Municipality.

OVERVIEW Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality is located in the western region of the North West province in Ganyesa, 70km north of Vryburg. It is one of the five municipalities under the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality. The Municipality is predominantly rural and boasts a vast landscape, a wealth of natural resources and a perfect climate for agriculture. The Municipality is a hybrid organisation that is the culmination of the merger of the former local municipalities of Kagisano and Molopo. This integration was conceptualised as a means for establishing a new institution, with the intended outcome of integrating, sharing and rationalising services in the two municipalities, which were largely grant dependent. Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality has a total population of 105 789. This is the combined total after the merger of Kagisano and Molopo Local Municipalities. It makes up 20.57% of the total population of the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality. The theme of a better life for all will be realised by re-affirming our commitment to the national key performance areas, which are aimed at improving the lives of our communities. The resources at our disposal will be effectively and efficiently utilised to: • improve the level of access to basic services • improve financial management and viability, and fight corruption • strengthen public participation and good governance • develop and transform the institution • create an environment conducive to local economic development and job creation • promote rural development and alleviate poverty.

STRENGTHS • Abundant natural resource base • Vibrant rural culture • Gateway to Botswana.

OPPORTUNITIES • Good vegetation for cattle farming and rearing goats and wild animals • Increase in economically active population

LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (LED) • The most dominant activities in Kagisano-Molopo are retail, public service, and crop and animal production. • The Expanded Public Works Programme is now implemented in all wards. • 517 jobs have been created through the Community Works Programme (CWP). • There are now viable LED projects with 81 beneficiaries.

WILD SILK AFRICA FACTORY The Wild Silk Africa Factory is situated along the R378, welcoming visitors into Ganyesa. The pilot project started in 2011. Harvested raw silk processed in the factory is currently producing silk products. The raw material is harvested in the surrounding villages, such as Madinonyane, Pouval, Rusten, Itireleng, Sekhoane, Piet Plessis, Bullrand and Esdale. We also harvest from the Northern Cape and neighbouring countries like Namibia and Botswana. The project was made possible with funding from the joint partnership of Kagisano-Molopo Local Municipality and Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality, the Department of Economic Development, Environment, Conservation and Tourism (DEDECT), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the North West Development Corporation (NWDC).

On the administrative side, the Municipal Manager heads a six-member management committee comprising Heads of the following Departments: • Office of the Municipal Manager • Budget and Treasury Office • Corporate Services • Community Services • Infrastructure and Technical Services • Planning and Development.

OVERVIEW The Moses Kotane Local Municipality is a Category B4 municipality located within the Bojanala District Municipality in the North West province. It was established after the redemarcation of municipal boundaries and subsequent municipal elections in 2000. The Municipality covers an area of approximately 5 719km2 and is mostly rural in nature, comprising 107 villages and the two formal towns of Mogwase and Madikwe. Its population is estimated at 242 554. The Municipality has a predominantly African population, with fewer Indian, coloured and white groups, mostly residing in the Sun City residence and Mogwase Unit 2. The total number of households is estimated at 75 193. The economy of Moses Kotane is mainly characterised by tourism, mining and agriculture, owing to its location within the major tourism and mining belt of the North West province, namely Pilanesberg and Sun City. Industry and social services also form a critical part of the local economy. The Municipality is a water services authority and has dams in Molatedi, Madikwe and Pella. The Municipality is an EXCO-type with 31 Wards. It is led by Council, made up of 75 Councillors comprising Dikgosi, Ward and PR Councillors. The joint senior political leadership, commonly referred to as TROIKA, consists of the Speaker, Mayor and the Single Whip. The Mayor is the head of a 10-member Executive Committee (EXCO), who head various Portfolio Committees. The Municipality performs functions and powers assigned to it in terms of sections 156 and 229 of the Constitution.

The Portfolio Committees are as follows: • Integrated Development Planning, Performance Management System, Intergovernmental Relations and Town Planning • Local Economic Development and Rural Development • Human Settlement • Communication and Corporate Support Services

TOURISM The Pilanesberg Nature Reserve and the Sun City / Lost City Complex are the main tourist centres in Moses Kotane. There are also a number of smaller, isolated nature reserves, like the Madikwe, Impala, Kwa Maritane, Manyane and Bakgatla Game Reserves. These nature reserves are actively utilised through game lodges, walking trails, holiday resorts, game hunting, amongst others. Other tourist facilities are the Molatedi Dam; Madikwe Dam; Roodeval Farm, where there are rock paintings; and the Kolotwane River Valley near Silwerkraans. Furthermore, the proposed Pilanesberg/Madikwe Corridor (Heritage Park) represents a major new tourism initiative within Moses Kotane. This initiative has the potential to act as a catalyst for greater economic investment in the Municipality. As part of an attempt by this project to create awareness, the Heritage Park Walk event is organised annually. The walk usually starts at Pilanesberg National Park and ends at Madikwe Game Reserve. This event takes place during the first week of June, as per practice, and includes World Environment Day. The event also seeks to attract participants from all over the country to take part in the event as a way of creating awareness beyond the affected communities. The Moses Kotane area is strategically located in terms of important provincial tourist routes and is ideally positioned to benefit from provincial tourist activities and initiatives. The area is directly influenced by the two primary provincial tourism nodes in the North West province mentioned above. The Sun City complex is situated adjacent to Pilanesberg National Park and consists of several hotels, an artificial beach with a water adventure park, several conference centres, adult entertainment centres, and a golf course. Sun City has evolved from a resort targeting the domestic gaming market to an integrated resort servicing a large number of high-yield markets.

SPONSORED PROFILE

Several high-profile events are regularly hosted at Sun City, including the Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge and regular performances by international celebrities at the Sun City Superbowl. The artificial beach and water adventure park is the main attraction for the hosting of various tourist events, such as beach parties, beauty pageants and surfing competitions. Sun City attracts more than a million visitors, and Pilanesberg National Park more than 350 000 visitors, per year.

ARTS AND CULTURE The Moses Kotane Local Municipality plays a significant role in early childhood development programmes, as well as skills development programmes. In addition, three more libraries have been constructed, one each Mogwase, Mantserre and Tlokweng. The Mantserre Library was constructed by Amandelbult Anglo Platinum Mine as a contribution towards their social responsibility to the community; the mine currently awaits the go-ahead from the Department of Arts and Culture for the finalisation of the library. The Tlokweng Library, which has been added on to the Mabeeskraal Library, is still under construction.

PUBLIC FACILITIES

NORTH WEST

The Moses Kotane Local Municipality provides public facilities for the community to ensure an attractive, safe and healthy environment with clean, well-kept natural open spaces, parks and recreation facilities. Some of the public facilities in this municipality include: • Mogwase Library • Mantserre Library • Tlokweng Library • Matlametlong Hall • Segakwaneng Hall • Legkraal Hall • Mononono Hall • Kortkloof Hall • Ga-Mananmela Cultural Village • Makweleng Hall.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Municipality’s IDP is concerned with allocating public resources in the most effective and efficient way in order to provide a framework for community, economic and environmentally sustainable development at the local level. Developmental plans of the Municipality take into account land usage, focusing on the Mogwase area as a Central Business District (CBD) that is not being fully utilised considering its strategic location. New investors, as well as the provision of bulk services, are required to allow for the full utilisation and development of the CBD. On the western side of the Municipality is Madikwe Township, which also has huge potential to develop and expand based on the availability of land surrounding the existing township. Three informal settlements have also been identified, namely Mogwase Unit 8, Lerome South and Qwetsheza informal settlements. These informal areas were established due to the high demand for housing development, particularly in the eastern part of the Municipality. Other areas, such as Ledig, have also started to experience land invasion. This is because of employment opportunities in the mining developments, which are being established in close proximity to these areas.

HOUSEHOLDS 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 372 889km2 and has a population of 1 145 861, 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 winemaking region of South Africa; Springbok, which is in the heart of the Namaqualand spring-flower country; and Kuruman and De Aar, the location of the second most important junction of South Africa’s railway network. Sutherland is host to the southern hemisphere’s largest astronomical observatory, the multinational sponsored 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 intensively cultivated. 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.

There are no perennial rivers in the area. Water is obtained from subterranean sources. Some of the water is pumped up by windmills, but most of the water to the communal areas comes from natural springs. Many of these springs are semi-perennial and the salt content of the water can vary from year to year, causing problems. Four main types of vegetation are found in the area: Mountain Renosterveld, Succulent Karoo, False Succulent Karoo and Namaqualand Broken Veld. However, overall plant life is in a deteriorating state and non-edible, undesirable and poisonous vegetation is taking over.

OVERVIEW Area: 14 725km2 Description: Siyathemba Local Municipality is situated within the Pixley Ka Seme District Municipality of the Northern Cape province. The municipality was established as a result of the Local Government Municipal Structures Act of 1998 on 22 September 2000. Initially it was established as ‘Primanday’, which was a combination of the names Prieska, Marydale and Niekerkshoop. However, this was not an acceptable solution and on the 25th June 2001, as a result of a Council decision and

METRO MUNICIPALITY

Provincial Government notice 22/2001, became Siyathemba. The meaning of Siyathemba is ‘we hope’. Prieska was originally named Prieschap, a Koranna word meaning ‘place of the lost she-goat’, and used to be a fording place for travellers over the Orange River. Known to the locals as ‘the gem of the Northern Cape’, Prieska is the seat of the municipality and is located on the hills of the Doring Mountains on the southern banks of the Orange River. Prieska’s infrastructure is impressive – it has Eskom power; an abundant water supply from the Orange River, with the Gariep and the Vanderkloof Dams on the upstream side of the river; easy access to the main railway line to Namibia; good tarred road linkage with Kimberley, Upington and De Aar; two landing strips for light aircraft; and complete and reasonably inexpensive industrial stands, with or without siding facilities. Industrial activities include: grain silos; a cotton mill; a bakery; manufacture of furniture, built-in cupboards; cattle fodder pellets; and a tiger’s eye processing plant. Niekerkshoop is attractively placed between hills, and large trees shade the streets.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION*

Pixley Ka Seme District Municipality in the Northern Cape province. Colesberg is a town located on the main road from Cape Town to Johannesburg. In a sheep-farming area spread over 500 000 hectares, greater Colesberg breeds many of the country’s top merinos. It is also renowned for producing high-quality racehorses and many stud farms, including one owned by legendary golfer, Gary Player. Towerberg or Coleskop is a prominent hill near the town and a landmark easily seen from a distance by travellers. Colesberg saw a large number of battles and skirmishes during the second Anglo-Boer War and the Colesberg Garden of Remembrance is located just outside the town. The town boasts many buildings that were built in a blend of Cape Dutch and Georgian architecture, with ceilings of reed and yellowwood timbers, and others that display a range of designs reflecting the changes of 19th century building. Originally, plots were pegged out and sold on the site of the town to fund the building of the Dutch Reformed Church. Noupoort is a town in the eastern Karoo region that principally revolved around the railways and is still used as a traction change-over facility from diesel to electric locomotives on the Noupoort-Bloemfontein line. It links up with the electric line to De Aar, part of the main artery for iron ore and manganese exports from the Northern Cape through Port Elizabeth Harbour on the south coast.

OVERVIEW Area: 11 107km2 Description: !Kheis Local Municipality is an administrative area of the ZF Mgcawu District (previously Siyanda District) in the Northern Cape province. !Kheis is a Khoi name meaning ‘a place where you live’ or ‘your home’. The !Kheis municipal area was initially inhabited by the Khoisan people, who were also the first permanent inhabitants of South Africa. The San, who lived a nomadic life, migrated through the area. !Kheis Municipality was established from the former Groblershoop Municipality, from settlements that were previously part of the ZF Mgcawu and Karoo District Municipalities. These municipalities administrated these

METRO MUNICIPALITY

settlements and provided them with services up until the demarcation in November 2000. From December 2000, !Kheis Municipality took over services and personnel, and total service provision took place from 1 July 2001. The existing roads in the !Kheis municipal area are mainly gravel. The main road (N10) from Upington to Groblershoop is a tar road. Groblershoop is also connected by the N8 to Griekwastad and by the N10 to Marydale. Due to the climate of the area, there is huge potential to utilise solar energy more widely, especially in the remote areas of the district. The Orange River stretches through the area, from the south-east to the north-west. The presence of perennial river water contributes to the establishment of table grapes, which are marketed and exported to Western Europe.

Cllr Khadi Moloi EXECUTIVE MAYOR

The Frances Baard District Municipality (FBDM) is an open, transparent and accountable organisation, providing sound governance, stable financial viability and prudent leadership. We stay focused on the Council’s priorities and set targets for delivery to provide the performance and results that drive the Municipality. The FBDM strives to promote sound financial management and good governance in order to perform and sustain its developmental role. In order to do this, Council follows a practice of sound, conservative budgeting aimed at enhancing financial resources through controlling costs to the minimum necessary expenditure. As a dynamic organisation, the FBDM, like most organisations, is continuing to adapt and realign itself with changes in the environment. In order to sustain its developmental status, the FBDM has continued to re-engineer its organisation structure to meet its constitutional and legal obligations.

Cllr Brummer Maribe SPEAKER

Ms Z M Bogatsu MUNICIPAL MANAGER

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 on the peninsula formed by the confluence of the Vaal and Harts Rivers, which run parallel for about 140km above their junction.

TOURISM 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. The climate is favourable for outdoor living. Mokala National Park contains a wide variety of wildlife and the alluvial diamond diggings still operate using traditional panning methods.

VISION

LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOCUS AREAS

The Frances Baard District Municipality will be a municipality with a clear developmental focus, providing quality services to all its people.

An ongoing focus area in terms of LED is the strengthening of SMME development by providing individuals and cooperatives with, amongst others, training in tender processes and regulations, pricing strategies, and how to implement and determine the correct price. SMMEs are also assisted with taking part in events such as arts festivals to expose them to the competitive market environment in order for them to find suitable markets for their products. The District Municipality is also running a youth entrepreneurial development programme, with the aim of supporting local municipalities and young graduates. The training of the graduates in LED will help to increase the number of competent practitioners in this field in the District and will expose the graduates to business opportunities. The District Municipality will be assisting new cooperatives with registration and will act as a liaison for them to increase accessibility to incentive schemes and other government incentives. The District Municipality is currently facilitating the following activities: • establishment of an oil processing plant in Phokwane Municipality • establishment of cooperatives in order to supply 10% of Afri-Sam electricity as biomass • development of a business plan for a manufacturing incubation hub in Kimberley • research on the possibility of establishing an incubation facility in Warrenton.

MISSION The Frances Baard District Municipality is committed to providing and improving its services and thereby improving the lives of its communities by: • promoting social and economic development • providing and maintaining affordable and optimal-quality services • the economic, efficient and effective utilisation of all its available resources • being effective stakeholders and always encouraging democratic community participation.

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 462km2 and has a population of approximately 5 822 734. It is the fourth-largest province in South Africa by surface area and also ranks fourth largest 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 Metropolitan Municipality) and five district municipalities, which are further subdivided into 24 local municipalities.

WESTERN CAPE

Boland District Municipality, is located in the Boland region of the Western Cape province. The largest towns in the Municipality are Paarl, Worcester, Stellenbosch and Wellington. The boundaries of this municipality roughly coincide with the boundaries of the geographical area that has been known since the early days of the Cape Colony as ‘the Boland’. In Afrikaans, Boland means ‘upland’, ‘higher land’ or ‘land above’ (in contrast to the low coastal areas of the original Dutch settlement in the Cape). However, the term Boland, as originally used, was a loose concept with no defined borders (compare this with the informal but not meaningless terms ‘Sahara’ or ‘Rocky Mountains’). The Boland is generally mountainous, with range after range of beautiful and isolated sandstone peaks reaching up to 2 000m, but also has broad, fertile valleys that are home to some of the country’s finest vineyards. The functions of district municipalities are: ensuring integrated development planning for the district as a whole; promoting bulk infrastructure and services; facilitating economies of scale; encouraging a measure of redistribution of resources between municipalities and more equitable services; and providing services where local municipalities do not have the capacity to do so. Main Economic Sectors: Finance and business services (23.9%), manufacturing (19.6%), wholesale and retail trade (15.2%), agriculture, forestry and fishing (13.1%), transport and communication (9%), construction (4.5%)

Beaufort West is the oldest municipality in South Africa. The new district was proclaimed on 27 November 1818. The then governor of the Cape, Lord Charles Somerset, named the town and district ‘Beaufort’ in honour of his father, the 5th Duke of Beaufort. To avoid confusion with Fort Beaufort and Port Beaufort, the name ‘Beaufort’ was changed to Beaufort West in the 1860s. In December 1994, the former black township Kwa-Mandlenkosi was amalgamated with Beaufort West Municipality. In December 2000, the rural towns of Merweville and Nelspoort were also incorporated as part of the Beaufort West Municipality. Cities/Towns: Beaufort West, Merweville, Murraysburg, Nelspoort Main Economic Sectors: Transport and communication (25.3%), wholesale and retail trade (16.8%), general government services (14.4%), manufacturing (10.9%), agriculture (7.7%)

OVERVIEW Area: 8 784km2 Description: Laingsburg Local Municipality is a friendly, modern Karoo town, only 280km from Cape Town. The town lies in a geologically fascinating area, steeped in history and tradition. It is a worthwhile and hospitable stop on the busy N1 highway through the Great Karoo. It dates back to the mid-1700s. In those years, farmers along the banks of the Buffels River offered hospitality to adventurers brave enough to cross the mountains and venture out onto the arid plains of the Great Karoo. In exchange for news of Cape Town and the civilized world, as well as gossip garnered from other farms along the way, these isolated farmers of the interior offered accommodation, sustenance and fodder. Many early officials and explorers, such as Barrow, Lichtenstein, De Mist and Swellengrebel, wrote of the people they met in what was later to become the district of Laingsburg. They described the Karoo as ‘awesome, hot, dry and dusty. An inhospitable land peppered with friendly outspans, veritable jewels in the desert’.

METRO MUNICIPALITY

east. The N2 National Road forms the main transportation conduit across the municipality. Hessequa has a moderate climate. Rainfall occurs predominantly in winter and reaches totals of 300mm inland to 1 000mm on the coast. The Little Karoo in the rain shadow of the Langeberg is the driest region. Agricultural activities are largely determined by the local rainfall pattern. Most of the basal geology in Hessequa has been influenced by the Cape Fold Belt, which has caused the east-west heading mountains generally comprising hard quartzite sandstone and thin shale bands of the Table Mountain Group. Hessequa’s vegetation falls within the Cape Floral Kingdom, which is characterised by its exceptional richness in plant species. More than 8 700 species are known to occur, of which two thirds are endemic.

OVERVIEW Area: 4 758km2 Description: Kannaland Local Municipality is classified as a Category B municipality and is responsible for basic service provision to the towns of Calitzdorp, Ladismith, Vanwyksdorp and Zoar, as well as the surrounding farming communities. Kannaland is situated about 340km north-east of Cape Town along the famous tourism Route 62. It is linked by tarred main roads to all other major centres, such as Oudtshoorn (100km), Montagu (139km), George (160km), Mossel Bay (185km) and Port Elizabeth (420km). Both the administrative and legislative seats of Kannaland Municipality are located in Ladismith, with satellite offices in Calitzdorp, Vanwyksdorp and Zoar. The Kannaland municipal area lies huddled between two mountain ranges, the Swartberge and Anysberg. An impressive mountain peak called Towerkop (2 198m) looms above Ladismith. Another impressive site is Elandsberg (2 128m). Halfway up Elandsberg is a famous landmark, sometimes referred to as Ladismith’s extra star in the galaxy: Stanley’s Light (1 500m). The municipality has the smallest population in the Eden District, and also has the smallest economy in the region. Kannaland’s climate is ideal for the production of apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines and grapes. The well-known Parmalat and Ladismith dairy products come from the area. The quaint little haven of Calitzdorp is known as the port-wine capitol of South Africa by virtue of the top quality wines, produced mainly by Boplaas, De Krans, Axehill and Calitzdorp wine cellars.

METRO MUNICIPALITY

A wide variety of scenic routes criss-cross the area. Kannaland has its own individual building style, which makes it unique. For example, the so-called Ladismith Style is a simplified Georgian design and dates from the 1830s. Kannaland is an integral part of the Eden District, along with six other municipalities, namely Hessequa, Mossel Bay, George, Oudtshoorn, Knysna and Bitou. The Kannaland municipal area shares its borders with the Central Karoo District Municipality to the north and Cape Winelands District in the east. Cities/Towns: Calitzdorp, Ladismith, Vanwyksdorp, Zoar Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture (26.8%), manufacturing (20.4%), community and personal services (18.4%), finance and business (11%), wholesale, retail and trade (9.4%), construction (6.20%), electricity and water (4.70%), transport and communication (3%)

OVERVIEW Area: 3 537km2 Description: Oudtshoorn Local Municipality lies within the boundaries of the Eden District Municipality in the Western Cape province. Since 5 December 2000, the Oudtshoorn municipal area has included the larger settlements of Oudtshoorn, Dysselsdorp and De Rust, and the smaller rural settlements of Volmoed, Schoemanshoek, Spieskamp, Vlakteplaas, Grootkraal, De Hoop, and Matjiesrivier. The Greater Oudtshoorn area is nestled at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains in the heart of the Little Karoo region in the Western Cape. It is defined as a semidesert area with a unique and sensitive natural environment. It was once the indigenous home of the Khoisan people, and so there are many rock paintings to be found. The municipality’s development potential recognises the impact of being home to the world’s largest ostrich population, which is a key component of their agricultural industry. The discovery of the Cango Caves and continual allure of unique natural heritage has drawn people to this region. Oudtshoorn serves as a regional centre for the surrounding agricultural area. The natural environment of the area creates a natural hospitality towards the tourism industry, and a related boom in accommodation. Oudtshoorn is a centre of regional cultural, sport and art activities, and has, since 1994, been host to the nationally famous Klein Karoo Nasionale Kuntefees (KKNK), an arts festival held in March/ April every year. A total of 411 temporary job opportunities were created directly by the ABSA KKNK, of which 76% were filled by black employees. The total economic impact of the ABSA KKNK is estimated at about

METRO MUNICIPALITY

R110 million, which makes the festival a major contributor to the economy in Oudtshoorn. A joint strategy was developed through the Greater Oudtshoorn Vision 2030 process to ensure both the broader benefaction of local communities and the sustainability of the festival. Oudtshoorn’s relatively higher ‘development potential’ is directly linked to its geographic location on main transport routes, natural resource base, human resources, institutional centre function, and commercial services. Recent studies of Oudtshoorn growth potential identified it as one of 14 important ‘leader towns’ in the Western Cape province. Cities/Towns: De Rust, Dysselsdorp, Oudtshoorn Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture, forestry and fishing (17.3%), manufacturing (12.4%), insurance (11.7%), finance (11.7%), construction (3%)

WESTERN CAPE

Area: 3 467km2 Description: Cape Agulhas Local Municipality consists of five wards. A large percentage of the population falls within the economically active population (aged 15-65), but the unemployment rate in Cape Agulhas is still relatively high. Though regarded as one of the best-performing local governments when it comes to housing delivery, the housing backlogs remain a challenge. The municipality strives to improve basic services with limited resources, however, the upgrading and maintenance of basic services remain a challenge. Strategic partnerships have become increasingly important, as illustrated by council’s 100% expenditure on MIG projects and active participation in EPWP projects. Environmental issues have become an important factor for the municipality to consider, especially with the effects of global warming and climate change. The Cape Agulhas Municipality is endeavouring to integrate the effects and consequences of global warming and climate change into the general planning of service delivery, as can be seen in the municipality’s awarding of a waste to energy bioproject to Ark Industries. The municipality has created adequate capacity to deliver in critical departments such as economic development, human settlements and human development. Good governance has always been a priority for the council and the establishment of a Risk Management Unit, an Internal Audit Unit, a Municipal Public Accounts Committee, as well as more than 13 years of unqualified audit reports, is a testimony to this. Cities/Towns: Agulhas, Arniston, Bredasdorp, Elim, Klipdale, Napier, Protem, Struis Bay, Suiderstrand Main Economic Sectors: Finance, insurance, real estate and business services (26%), general government (19.1%), manufacturing (17%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation (9.8%), construction (9.6%), agriculture, forestry and fishing (7%), community, social and personal services (5.6%), transport, storage and communication (4.1%)

Area: 3 232km2 Description: Theewaterskloof Local Municipality is situated in the

FINANCIAL INFORMATION*

jurisdiction of the Overberg District Municipality in the Western Cape. Category B municipalities include Theewaterskloof, Overstrand, Cape Agulhas and Swellendam. Theewaterskloof Municipality is the gateway to the Overberg and is surrounded by unique natural assets such as the Theewaterskloof Dam, Kogelberg Biosphere, illustrious vineyards, crop and fruit fields, fynbos, wild flowers and blue cranes. With its Local Economic Development Strategy (LED strategy), the municipality is constantly driving local economic development in primary economic sectors such as agriculture, tourism, agricultural product processing, and industries. Despite a relatively poor community and a narrow capacity for tax and income generation, the municipality is constantly improving infrastructures for service and product delivery. The municipality’s Integrated Development Programme was developed in partnership with local business, communities and individuals. The municipality was the first to implement Service Level Agreements in all its towns to narrow the gap between community services needs and municipal service delivery abilities. The municipality created capacities for holistic and quality developments, i.e. sewerage removal, quality water, housing, communication, waste removal and infrastructural maintenance. In addition, the municipality participated in processes that led to a peaceful and safe environment where the welfare of everyone, and especially that of women and children, is highly valued and pursued. The municipality has a successful town management model that ensures that local government and democracy are extended to the people. Cities/Towns: Bot River, Caledon/Myddleton, Genadendal, Grabouw, Greyton, Riviersonderend, Theewaterskloof, Villiersdorp Main Economic Sectors: Finance, insurance, real estate and business services (30.1%), agriculture, forestry and fishing (21.3%), manufacturing (15.4%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation (8.8%), general government (7.7%), construction (6%), transport, storage and communication (5.8%), community, social and personal services (3.4%)

FINANCIAL INFORMATION*

west coast of the Western Cape province, approximately 200km from Cape Town. The municipal area is bordered by the spectacular Cederberg Mountains in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. The main access road, the N7, is a vital economic corridor linking the economies of the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Namibia. Due to its scenic natural beauty, ecotourism is considered a major future economic growth sector. Politically, it is the only municipality in the west coast region that is controlled by the African National Congress. It is also strategically located on the Cape-Namibia Corridor, and the N7 National Road links it with the Northern Cape province. If this corridor was identified for future infrastructure upgrades and investments, it would be of paramount importance to ensure that the very basic infrastructure is in place to facilitate future development, whilst simultaneously planning for future growth. The municipality has its focus on the development of the rural poor and, in particular, investing in the youth and final year school-goers to secure their future. Cities/Towns: Citrusdal, Clanwilliam, Elands Bay, Graafwater, Lamberts Bay, Leipoldtville, Wupperthal Main Economic Sectors: Agriculture, forestry and fishing (25.7%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation (17.3%), finance, insurance, real estate and business services (15.3%), manufacturing (12.8%), general government (9.8%), transport, storage and communication (6.9%), community, social and personal services (6.2%), construction (5.1%)

OVERVIEW Area: 3 713km2 Description: Swartland Local Municipality has its head office and main infrastructure based in Malmesbury, which is situated 70km north of Cape Town on the N7. In 1743, Malmesbury began as a settlement in the wide Diep River Valley around a mineral source and fountains in the area. The town was officially proclaimed on 21 May 1827 and was named after the Governor of the Cape, Sir Lowry Cole’s father-in-law, the first Earl of Malmesbury in England. The town obtained municipal status in 1860. Malmesbury fulfils an important urban niche in the region and the province. Its high development potential can be attributed to factors such as its relative accessibility along the N7 road/rail corridor; closeness to Cape Town; diversified economic base, which not only accommodates agriculture but also well-developed industrial and commercial sectors; and supportive infrastructure. The high property values in the Cape Town Metropole and the attraction of a local tranquil atmosphere are moving people to settle here and commute to Cape Town on a daily basis. Malmesbury is home to a number of large companies, as well as regional offices of provincial and national government departments. Cities/Towns: Abbotsdale, Chatsworth, Darling, Grotto Bay, Kalbaskraal, Koringberg, Malmesbury, Moorreesburg, Riebeeck Kasteel, Riebeeck West, Riverlands, Yzerfontein Main Economic Sectors: Finance, insurance, real estate and business services (33.7%), manufacturing (21.2%), agriculture, forestry and fishing (14.3%), wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation (11%), general government (5.5%), transport, storage and communication (4.9%), construction (4.8%)

WESTERN CAPE

The Cape Winelands District Municipality, formerly the Boland District Municipality, is located in the Boland region of the Western Cape province. As of 2011, the Municipality had a population of 787 490. The largest towns in the Municipality are Paarl, Worcester, Stellenbosch and Wellington. The boundaries of this municipality, which covers an area of 21 473km2, roughly coincide with the boundaries of the geographical area that has been known since the early days of the Cape Colony as ‘the Boland’. In Afrikaans, Boland means ‘upland’, ‘higher land’ or ‘land above’ (in contrast to the low coastal areas of the original Dutch settlement in the Cape). However, the term Boland, as originally used, was a loose concept with no defined borders (compare this with the informal but not meaningless terms ‘Sahara’ or ‘Rocky Mountains’). The Boland is generally mountainous, with range after range of beautiful and isolated sandstone peaks reaching up to 2 000m, but also has broad, fertile valleys that are home to some of the country’s finest vineyards.

GREATER OUDTSHOORN VISION 2030: THE REASON TO INVEST IN THE HEART OF THE LITTLE KAROO

WESTERN CAPE

Greater Oudtshoorn; a town to work, learn, play and prosper in The picturesque South African town of Oudtshoorn is world renowned for its ostrich industry, the world-class tourist attraction of the Cango Caves and, more recently, for the Klein Karoo Arts Festival as an annual cultural-activity magnet, drawing tens of thousands of visitors every year. The Western Cape Provincial Government, through its growth potential of towns study, identified Oudtshoorn as one of the lead towns in the province with a very high growth potential, and as a regional centre. Against this unique background, the town of Oudtshoorn, which also includes the two smaller nearby settlements of Dysselsdorp and De Rust, stands at the threshold of economic growth and challenges in equal measure. In order to deal with these challenges, a long-term plan also targeted at drawing investment into Greater Oudtshoorn was developed to pave the way towards achieving a meaningful economic impact. The Oudtshoorn Municipality, in conjunction with its stakeholders, is now facilitating the development and implementation of the Greater Oudtshoorn Vision 2030. This vision is intended to guide decision-making, with the focus on economic growth and regeneration of previously disadvantaged areas. The strategic focus areas for the Greater Oudtshoorn Vision 2030 were identified as a/an: • knowledge economic town, offering opportunities for training and skills development • tourist economic town, offering a range of attractions, from the environment to entertainment • infrastructure economic town, offering a full range of services and economic opportunities, notably in disadvantaged areas • social economic town, which advances good governance and social development • agricultural economic town in which farming and food production prospers • industrial economic town in which various industries can expand • arts and culture economic town, creating economic and social opportunities through the arts, heritage and sport. The Oudtshoorn Municipality and its stakeholders invite you to participate in achieving the Greater Oudtshoorn Vision 2030.

From top: Infrastructure economy – a place to live in; Tourism economy – Oudtshoorn crocodile diving; Knowledge economy – a place to learn and prosper.

Cllr Francois Schippers EXECUTIVE MAYOR

Mr Louis Scheepers MUNICIPAL MANAGER

To serve, grow and succeed together.

The following are the key economic activities taking place in the Municipality:

MISSION

Tourism

We, the community of Saldanha Bay, want to make this the area of choice within which to live, do business and relax. We want to: • be a leading municipality • render quality services at a reasonable price • be a place in which all have access to developmental opportunities • utilise the riches of land and sea in a sustainable manner • strive to achieve the three aims of sustainable development, namely human well-being, economic success and ecological responsibility.

Tourism is recognised as a potential generator of wealth and jobs, and is highly important to unlocking further growth and development in the Saldanha Bay municipal area. It is well positioned to take full advantage of the opportunities presented in both leisure and business tourism markets. The opportunities in tourism are exploited in line with the national, provincial, district and local strategies.

OUR VALUES • • • • •

Competence Accountability Integrity Responsiveness Caring

Agriculture Aquaculture is an established sector that has considerable growth potential due to its successful aquaculture activities, in particular those in the Saldanha port. Aquaculture thrives inside the port area and is a good, sustainable job creator, with Saldanha producing top-quality products in a growing market.

Steel Fabrication

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION Saldanha Bay Municipality (WC014) is a local municipality located on the West Coast of South Africa in the Western Cape province and approximately 140km north of Cape Town. It forms part of the West Coast District Municipality (DC1). The Municipality is bordered on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Bergrivier Municipality and in the east by the Swartland Municipality. The Saldanha Bay Municipality covers an area of 2 015km2 and has 238km of coastline. Our head office is located in Vredenburg, with satellite offices in Hopefield, St Helena Bay, Paternoster, Saldanha and Langebaan. Saldanha Bay has the largest natural port in Africa, and the area is earmarked as a regional motor for the development of the Western Cape province.

Saldanha has the potential, and is well positioned for, exponential growth and development. This growth can be expected from four ‘sunrise’ and labour-intensive sectors, like steel fabrication.

WESTERN CAPE

VISION

Cllr Olwene Daniels SPEAKER

Social Integration Saldanha Bay Municipality is the subject of, and a participant in, major development projects of national, provincial, district and local importance. One of the results of these projects is that the Municipality is experiencing a growth in population, which requires both the Municipality and other spheres of government to plan and execute projects that will proactively address the challenges associated with growth in economic activity and concomitant growth in population. Vredenburg is the economic and administrative capital of the West Coast. A vast area in the Vredenburg CBD is undeveloped and has been identified for the Vredenburg Urban Revitalisation Project.

Saldanha Bay includes a number of big rural areas, as well as the following towns: St Helena Bay • Jacobs Bay • Paternoster • Saldanha • Hopefield Vredenburg • Langebaan.

KEY ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES The Municipality is increasingly becoming industrialised; a hub for servicing the marine oil and gas sector and an export point for raw materials like iron ore. Opportunities also exist in the renewable energy field, including the establishment of wind and solar energy generation, as well as manufacturing for these sectors. Notwithstanding the rapid industrialisation of the Municipality, it has also identified the strengthening of its traditional sectors, i.e. fishing and agriculture, as key to ensuring the diversification of the local economy and immunising it against sector-specific challenges. Furthermore, tourism is increasingly becoming an important sector, even though it is growing from a low base. Right: Vredenburg Urban Revitalisation Project.
