The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a comprehensive, integrated and multi-faceted document that seeks to accomplish sets of objectives and imperatives. And one of the primary objectives of 2009/10 IDP review is “To host the best World Cup ever in 2010” and accordingly the 2009/10 IDP review is informed by such imperatives. Therefore the 2009/10 IDP review happened during interesting period in the history of the City of Johannesburg in the sense that it was written as the process of 2010 FIFA World Cup preparations unfolds. The CoJ as a major host city for 2010 FIFA World Cup plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the country delivers on a mandate of a memorable and best World Cup ever in true African style. Therefore this document is unique because it dedicates a chapter solely on 2010 which showcases and reflects on the state of readiness for 2009 FIFA Confederation Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup. In addition to a dedicated chapter on 2010 FIFA World Cup, various sector plans in 2009/10 IDP review document shed more light on 2010 FIFA World Cup programmes and projects deliverable for 2009/10. The impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup permeates the entire organization hence there is deep shared commitment from all the CoJ internal and external stakeholders. 2010 FIFA World Cup has permanently transformed the landscape of the CoJ in terms of stadiums, transport and supporting infrastructure since the history of the discovery of Gold in Johannesburg. It is for this reasons that the 2009/10 IDP review is a unique document that seeks to position the CoJ as a World Class African Host City for FIFA World Cup. The driving force behind the development of an IDP is summarised by the following five main reasons: Firstly, the IDP is part of a suite of strategic planning instruments that guide development and service delivery in the City. The Growth and Development Strategy (GDS) provides the vision and long-term strategic perspective for the City, while the IDP sets out the strategic plan for the medium term that coincides with the electoral term of 2006 to 2011. Each department and Municipal Entity (ME) within the City is required to complete a detailed annual business plan that gives operational expression to the IDP; Secondly, the Municipal Systems Act prescribes the formulation and approval of the IDP by the full Municipal Council, meaning that the IDP may not be delegated. This is important because the legislation lends the weight of the law on to the IDP and the approved IDP itself has the force of law; Thirdly, the IDP is the key mechanism for vertical and horizontal alignment. It strives to achieve vertical integration between the municipality and other spheres of government; and works towards horizontal integration between adjacent municipalities; Fourthly, the IDP weaves together the discrete activities within the municipality by providing a strategic overview, detailing the processes of intergovernmental alignment, showing the outreach and consultation process, setting out a summary of the Spatial Development Framework and Capital Investment Framework and framing the Performance Management System. The essence of the IDP is the Sector Plans, which defines the delivery agenda. The Financial Plan component of the IDP shows the linkages between the IDP and the budget as a whole; and Lastly, once the IDP is approved by the Council it becomes a public document governed by Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 which gives effect to the constitutional right of 3 access to any information held by the state and any information that held by another person and that is required for the exercise or protection of any right; and to provide for matter connected therewith. It is for this reason that the IDP must be made available to all City of Johannesburg stakeholders. PROCESS FOR THE 2009/10 REVIEW Two critical events necessitate the early commencement of the 2009/10 IDP review process: The national and provincial election held on 22 April 2009; and FIFA Confederation Cup, a prestigious warm-up event that serves as a dry run to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. IDP Assessment workshop IDP Assessment discussion Workshop, held at Shumba Valley in August 2008, set the tone for the 2009/10 IDP review. The primary aim of the Workshop was to highlight challenges for the next financial year in view of the two critical issues raised above. The idea of roundtable discussion on sector plan, business plan and budget was recommended in order to expedite the process of 2009/10 IDP review. The Roundtable discussion served as a dry run for departments to prepare for the Budget Panel which was held from 26 November to 1 December 2008. Budget Lekgotla I The first Budget Lekgotla was held in September 2008 and it sought to achieve amongst others the following objectives: To perform a strategic assessment of the mid-term and key IDP Intervention (first half of electoral term) including achievements, opportunities and challenges; To define the medium term budget for the City of Johannesburg; To conceptualise and implement community-based planning; and To conclude discussions on the content of the Mid-Term Report. Emerging from the Budget Lekgotla was a comprehensive progress report on the following key IDP interventions: Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit project and Gautrain; Formalisation of informal settlements; Implementation of Growth Management Strategy; Developmental approach to Property Rates and Tariffs; City Power Risk Assessment; Housing delivery and secondary property market (facilitation of housing delivery by private sector and provincial government on a leveraging basis); Increased spending on maintenance of infrastructure, roads and public facilities; City wide 200 000 Tree Programme; Community Bank and SMME Fund; Upscaling of Soweto Empowerment Zone; Implementation of Inner City Regeneration Charter; 2010 Soccer World Cup; Environmental Demand Side Management (Energy, Water and Refuse); Upscaling of targeted crime prevention initiatives; Implementation of Social Package; and Upscaling of basic infrastructure to meet national targets. The aforementioned key IDP interventions are discussed in detail later in Chapter 4. 4 Sector/Business Planning Round Table and Budget Panel Hearings Following the Budget Lekgotla, core departments and Municipal Entities engaged in earnest in an initial round of business planning and budgeting in preparation of the Budget Panel hearing. The budget panel hearing was held from 26 November to 1 December 2008 and provided comments on initial core departmental and Municipal Entities (MEs) budget submissions based on the IDP programmes and projects. Municipal Entities and core departments were required to update
