6.2 Municipal Capacity

The organizational structure of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality is under review and the changed structure will first be adopted in Council and will be reflected in future documents. The District is reportedly stable whereby Council and its Committees are functional. Notwithstanding, at Maquassi Hills Local Municipality, there is instability of Council characterized by infighting that led to political instability and weak oversight. This has led to non-functionality of Council and its Committees and in particular the MPAC.

For City of Matlosana Local Municipality the Council is fragmented, the Mayoral Committee is divided, and the Troika is not coherent. Meetings of Committees of Council are not convened and/or poorly attended and if they happen to convene, they are disrupted. This anomaly is impacting negatively on governance and oversight of Council, thus creating an enabling environment for the collapse of service delivery and violent service delivery protests. Nonetheless, it is so far the only municipality in the province with an unqualified audit opinion.

And in the case of JB Marks Local Municipality, Council and its Committees are functional. Functional ward committees are critical to the national strategic objective of deepening democracy through public participation. Ward committees have a pivotal role to play as a conduit between the municipal Council and the community. All local municipalities in the district have established ward committees.

An audit was also conducted at the three local municipalities and reflected that some vacancies do exist at ward committees which have been left unfilled for a long period despite a plea made by the Department of CoGTA to municipalities that whenever a vacancy occurs, it must be filled immediately at least within three months after it occurred. The table below indicates the status of total vacancies in ward committees per municipality in the district: Name of Number of Ward Total Number of Total number of Municipality Committees Vacancies Ward Committee Members 1.

Vredefort Dome one of the oldest meteor impact sites in the world and the Klerksdorp Mine Tours.

7.2. Spatial Development

The SDF proposes development according to the following hierarchy of nodes as outlined in the NW PSDF. Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom are identified as Priority 1 investment nodes (can be regarded as primary nodes). Wolmaransstad is identified as a Priority 2 investment area (regarded as secondary node). Ventersdorp is identified as a Priority 3 investment area (regarded as tertiary node)

The map below shows the development corridors and urban edge in the two major towns of the district. The urban edge extracted directly from the local municipalities’ SDFs shows areas where development is restricted in, whereas the development corridors shows areas that have greater investment potential and where future developments should be concentrated.

Responding to growth pressures and climate change requires action. In Dr KKD, a range of planning and design actions are integrated with local planning instruments to adapt settlements to the likely impacts of climate change and reduce their exposure to hazards.

PROFILE: DR KENNETH KAUNDA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY 31

8. Key Recommendations JB Marks Local Municipality borders Gauteng and City of Matlosana Local Municipality. The main node in the municipality, linking Gauteng to the east, is Potchefstroom. Potchefstroom is a developed town with finance and business services sector as the main sector. 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.

The North West University Potchefstroom Campus attracts investment and capital to the municipality, making Potchefstroom ideal for the Diversification and Maintenance Strategy. Matlosana City Local Municipality is considered as a distressed mining municipality and the focus need to be on the economic and social transformation of settlements.

Development Guidelines: • The municipality has a strong educational base and can be seen as a leading national tertiary hub, with a myriad of opportunities associated with student housing and relevant services. • Ensure better functional integration. • The municipality has high value agricultural land that should be promoted and protected. • Ensure land tenure security. • Delineate a clear urban edge to prevent development on high value agricultural land and to promote densification. • Potchefstroom provides a strong urban core with highly skilled employees and entrepreneurial skills, mainly as a result of the NWU Potchefstroom Campus. Opportunities exist to diversify the economy and focus on tertiary services such as the finance and business services sector. • Potchefstroom is situated close to Gauteng and Klerksdorp – forming part of the Gauteng City Region, creating opportunities for industrial development, lifestyle estate development and services such as health care, retail and education. • Focus on diversifying and promoting the manufacturing sector. • Diversify the local economy – focus on forward and backward linkages. • Uphold business environment and property investment maintenance – contribute to retain and instill business confidence. • Integrate the informal market into the economy. There is potential in the second economy that can be exploited and help to increase the economic base. • Promote nodal development and retail / commercial development in second economy areas. • Formalise housing. • Provide affordable housing in appropriate locations to ensure that the property values of high-income areas (mostly situated in the eastern parts of Potchefstroom) are not affected. • Promote mixed use developments. • Revitalisation of the CBD. • Promote tourism development in the following areas:

PROFILE: DR KENNETH KAUNDA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY 33

o The Vredefort Dome which has been listed as a World Heritage Site. o The Boskop Dam Nature Reserve. o The Prozesky Bird Sanctuary. o The proposed Highveld National Park. • Ensure proper maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure. • Create a conductive environment that will attract private sector investment.
