23 3.5 Co-Operative Governance One of the critical components in formulating a credible IDP is the level of participation by all three spheres of government. This is important as it ensures co-operative governance; this is core in our democratic society. It is important to acknowledge that the communities that we serve, view government as a single uniform structure, there is little regard for jurisdiction and the autonomous nature of these spheres. It is thus critical to establish effective inter-governmental relations; this is perhaps the most critical component of achieving efficient and effective service delivery.

The KwaDukuza Municipality has, over the years, advocated for greater synergy between all spheres of government providing services within its’ municipal area. The municipality has held successful engagements with provincial departments in an attempt to align municipal and provincial strategies in a manner that is responsive to the needs of the community. The culmination of these concerted efforts by the different spheres will be the realization of the targets set by government in 2004; namely:

It must be noted that even though there are challenges that exist in ensuring all departments are represented in these engagements, the situation has improved over the years and the level of contributions has also been increasing. The multi-sectoral engagements that the municipally facilitates, as part of the IDP process, offers sector departments with an opportunity to interact with the communities they serve.

Ensuring effective intergovernmental relations is not just a /$2*" .(" 31<* " 7-." $.)" 1" ,*=$),1.$<*" %*B-$%*5*/." $/" .*%5)" (;" .3*" Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act of 2005. This act patently states that; for government to address the pervasive challenges of poverty, underdevelopment, and marginalization there is a need for co-operation and integration of actions by the various spheres of government.

The issue of alignment between financial years for all three spheres of government still poses some difficulty in terms of sourcing project information linked to budget allocation. Below is a brief synopsis of the departments, that we interact with, and the programmes and projects envisaged for KwaDukuza for the 2011/12 financial year.

Issues of global climate potentially harmful activities and promote sustainability of change are taken very seriously and NGOs are playing a Municipal resources. crucial role in ensuring that the municipality adhered to Environmental awareness programmes need to be extended environmental sustainability principles as are outlined by the to all areas within the municipality. Notwithstanding the fact NEMA regulations. KwaDukuza Municipality believes that that the general public is becoming increasingly aware of the multi-sectoral coordination, convergence and sustainable environmental issues such as global warming, sustainable development can be achieved with participation of NGOs. development activities, renewable energy, greenhouse effects, water and air pollution, only a few are knowledgeable on what to do in preventing environmental degradation. During these programmes, the following tools will be used

#" National Environmental Management Act i.e. Environmental Impact Assessment; #" Environment Conservation Act; #" Water Act; #" Provincial Biodiversity Act; #" Strategic Environmental Assessment; Environmental Management Plan; Municipal Open Space Systems

4.5. Urban Development Framework KwaDukuza Municipality is growing at a rapid rate in terms of spatial development and general municipal infrastructure; it is against this backdrop that the Municipality aims to strengthen its commitment to conduct its business in line with the vision of the Urban Development Framework. This framework has identified the following key programmes which also form the basis for the municipality’s development agenda:

#" Integrating KwaDukuza with a strategic focus on integrated development planning and ending segregation and inequality instituted by apartheid; #" Improving housing and infrastructure to build habitable and safe urban communities, and increase access to financing and encouraging investment in housing; #" Promoting urban economic development to enhance the capacity of urban areas to build on local strengths to generate greater local economic activity and alleviate urban poverty

4.7. Waste Management Hierarchy KwaDukuza Municipality has completed the development of its Waste Management and Waste Hierarchy Approach. KwaDukuza Integrated Waste Management Plan and waste related legislative Municipality subscribes to the Waste Management Hierarchy development and reform process. This is in line with Section 11 of the National Waste Management Strategy as a method of of Waste Act 59 0f 2008, the Integrated Pollution and Waste minimizing the environmental impacts due to waste that end Management Policy and the National Waste Management up in the landfill sites. The Integrated Waste Management Plan Strategy. This Waste Management Plan sets out a number of aligns the waste management services that are provided in the objectives which needs to be achieved by the KwaDukuza Municipality with the National Waste Management Services Municipality. These include: waste management collection and will contribute to the implementation of the national and services; recycling; provision of quality, affordable and sustainable provincial strategies to minimize waste at local level. waste management collection services; environmentally sound management of special waste streams such as hazardous waste, KwaDukuza Integrated Waste Management Plan conceptualizes construction waste etc.; waste treatment and disposal capacity; the first attempt at setting out the strategy for future waste education and awareness; and effective waste information management and planning for the Municipality. It encourages a management systems. major shift away from traditional waste management principles into more integrated waste management principles. Sustainable The Integrated Waste Management Plan takes into account waste management is the key driver of this plan with the emphasis the relevant national and provincial government policies, on waste avoidance, waste reduction, re-use, recycling, treatment legislation and strategies. The foundation of the KwaDukuza and safe disposal. Therefore, the municipality recognizes that Waste Management Plan is based on the principles of Integrated it has a responsibility to abide by the statutes, policies and

32 KwaDukuza Municipality Integrated Development Plan - 2011/16 guidelines that are introduced by the National and Provincial Departments.

In strengthening environmental sustainability through Sustainable Waste Management, the Municipality is currently in the process of developing a greening policy for the municipality which is currently on a draft stage based on the sustainable development principles.

4.8. Strategies and Priorities for Integrated Waste Management The Municipality’s’ Integrated Waste Management Plan sets the objectives and targets that will have to be achieved within a specific time frame. The main objective of the Waste Management Plan is to ensure that waste is managed in an environmentally sound and integrated manner so as to prevent harm to the health of the people and the environment. The Municipality has identified three core strategies that will assist in achieving integrated waste management: 1. Waste Avoidance and Minimization Strategy 2. Reduction and Resources Recovery Strategy

3. Management of Residual waste Strategy Chapter 4

4.9. Waste Avoidance and Minimization Strategy The waste avoidance and minimization strategy is aiming at the avoidance of waste through the adoption of eco- efficiency and waste avoidance measures. It is the most cost effective method of waste management intervention and it is best implemented at point source. The most important thing about waste avoidance is that it conserves natural resources, reduces the amount of waste requiring disposal to landfills, thereby increasing the airspace.

4.10. Waste Reduction and Resource Recovery Strategy The resource recovery strategy is aiming at reducing the volume of waste to be disposed while maximizing the economic value of resources during its life cycle through re-use, recycling and reprocessing, and energy recovery in preference to disposal. The need to pursue resource recovery is driven by a combination of additional economic and environmental factors such as: " .3*"/**4".("2(/)*%<*";$/$.*"%*)(-%2*)" " .3*"/**4".("%*4-2*"*/*%=:"2(/)-59.$(/ " .3*"/**4".("%*4-2*"%*,$1/2*".("(/".3*",1/4;$,, " ?3*"%*1,$.:"(;"$/2%*1)$/="M1).*"4$)9()1,"2().)O"

4.11. Management of Residual Waste Strategy Irrespective of how efficient the municipal can be, there will always be a portion of waste stream that cannot be practically or economically avoided or recovered. This will result in residual waste that ends up in the landfill site. Residual waste has to be managed in an environmental sound manner. Information management systems, sustainable collection services, capacity, education and awareness programmes, robust treatment and disposal systems have to be in place to handle residual waste in a responsible manner with the objective of protecting human health and the environment.

5.11. Development Scenarios for KwaDukuza Municipality

The following series of maps attempts to build up the SDF in a series of functional steps. They also include a brief description of the various urban clusters within the municipality. The complete SDF is available on the KwaDukuza website: http://www.kwadukuza.gov.za/docs/SDF%20-%201.pdf

BALLITO / COMPENSATION NODE This is the most Southerly Node of KwaDukuza Municipality. It seeks to exploit opportunities offered by its close proximity to the eThekwini Municipality and the Dube Tradeport (King Shaka International)

The KwaDukuza SDF seeks to find a balance between reasonable and realistic development opportunities offered by this node with devel- opment needs and opportunities of other parts of the Municipality.

41 GROUTVILLE NODE This node / corridor encompasses Groutville and Shakaskraal, including all settlement in between. The area is experiencing moderate devel opment pressure due in part to the R102 that serves as a connector between the South and North areas of the municipality. The proposed uses within this corridor include Residential, Industrial, and Commercial.

42 KwaDukuza Municipality Integrated Development Plan - 2011/16 Chapter 5 In terms of economic potential, this cluster is second to the Ballito/Compensation node. It is the administrative centre of KwaDukuza with a high presence of government institutions. The KwaDukuza CBD is currently the subject of urban renewal in line with the KwaDukuza CBD Regeneration. The KwaDukuza SDF proposes the location of future residential and economic development along the main arterial routes i.e. R102 and R74. The KwaDukuza urban cluster is suggested to continue accommodating agricultural activities as indicated. The potential for diversification and intensification should however be investigated.

This is the most northerly node and it borders Mandeni municipality. The SDF recognizes the town of Darnall as being central to this node with future economic opportunities being located along the R102. This node has strong linkages with Zinkwazi, a small scale coastal town with strong emphasis on residential development. The SDF proposes this node take full advantage of its location and exploit the strong linkages it has with Mandeni and KwaDukuza town.

43 Existing and short term development AND LUMS The following three maps show the SDF at different phases of development, i.e. short term (ca 5years), medium term (ca 10 years) and long term (ca 15 years). Short term development indicated on this page accommodates the present development as well as development already committed to by the municipality. It provides also expansion opportunities in areas where this is likely to happen within the short term period. This is in particular relevant in the south, around KwaDukuza Town, along specific coastal areas and to the west of Darnall. Areas in the vicinity of nodes and economic development are expected to ultimately carry higher densities.

Medium term development This map suggests the potential development in the medium term, i.e. in a period of ca 10years from the present. Such expansion is suggested to take place primarily in the vicinity of major access routes, in the south, north and west. Some additional development is also likely to take place in the coastal strip, whereby it is expected that such development is of low intensity, retaining a largely green coastal environment and providing appropriate access for all to the coast. Agricultural land will be reduced and more intensive and diversified usage may need to be considered.

44 KwaDukuza Municipality Integrated Development Plan - 2011/16 Chapter 5 Long term development The suggested long term development of the municipality is suggested to continue along the major access routes, excluding the N2, a high speed route providing no direct access.

63 7.7. Roads & Storm Water Management KwaDukuza Municipality approved its Roads & Storm Water Master Plan in November 2010. The critical areas identified in the Master Plan are maintenance of 449 kilometers of roads and construction of new roads. It must be noted that there is approximately 20kilometres of road which came about after a new ward (Ward 27) was incorporated into KwaDukuza Municipality from Ndwedwe Municipality. The Master Plan has determined that an estimated amount of R58 million is required in the new financial year in order to undertake the following:

#" Road maintenance #" Road upgrades #" Diversion of storm water channels from houses #" Construction of new storm water channels #" Construction of mid block storm water channels #" Upgrade to gravel roads which include construction, regravelling, shaping and cutting of existing roads and preparation for tarring, subject to the availability of MIG roads.

It is estimated that over a five-year period this will require about R825 million to undertake this kind of work in the current configuration of KwaDukuza Municipal boundaries. In general, the condition of these roads is summarized in the table below:

Condition Rating % 1-Good 50 2-Medium 22 3-Poor 20 4-Bad/Very Bad 8 Total 100

It can be deduced from the table above that approximately 70% of the roads located within KwaDukuza Municipality are within good to medium condition category and 28% in the poor to very bad range. This indicate that, there is still a lot that needs to be done in order to meet the standards of developed countries where according to World Bank criteria only 5-10% should fall in the poor to very bad conditions.

97 98 KwaDukuza Municipality Integrated Development Plan - 2011/16 8.10 Financial Strategy

The financial policy of KwaDukuza Municipality is to provide a sound financial base and the resources necessary to sustain a satisfactory level of the municipal services for the community of KwaDukuza. It is the goal of the Municipality to achieve strong financial position with the ability to withstand local and regional economic impacts, adjust effectively to the community’s changing service requirements, and manage the municipality’s budget and cash flow to the maximum benefit of the community and provide high level of protective services to assure public health and safety.

KwaDukuza Municipality’s financial policies will address the following goals:

#" To keep the municipality in a fiscally sound position in both long and short term; #" Maintain sufficient financial liquidity through regular reviews and adjustments to meet normal operating and contingent obligations; #" Apply credit control policies which maximizes collection while providing relief for the indigent; and #" Credit policy that recognizes the basic policy of customer care and convenience. #" Maintaining existing infrastructure and capital assets

8.11 General Strategies 8.11.1 Social Responsibility The social responsibility focuses on the empowerment and transformation of the public. For example when the municipality is awarding tenders, they will enter into agreements with suppliers/partners who will demonstrate a significant and continuing contribution to the empowerment of the previously disadvantaged local communities. A customer complaint, suggestions and compliments programme that was introduced in the 2007/08 year is still running and is consistently monitored. This is to ensure the municipality is reaching out to its community in every possible way.

8.11.2 Increasing the Level of Confidence in Investors For any investors to have their monies invested in any area, they need to see the ability that the municipality is financially disciplined. They want to see that their investments will be protected and then obviously profitable. This includes adherence to statutory requirements, the assurance that the financial statements are prepared timeously and a

good record of unqualified reports. Indeed KwaDukuza Chapter 8 Municipality has displayed all of these and for five years in a row has produced financial statements which has lead to five unqualified reports (2005/06, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09 and 2009/10). This Municipality is confident that for the 2010/11 financial year as well they will indeed be going for another unqualified report.

113 f) Conducting Performance Reviews A municipality must review it performance management system annually in order to:

#" Identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the municipality in meeting the key performance indicators and performance targets set by it, as well as the general key performance indicators prescribed by the Municipal Systems Act 32 OF 2000, Section 43.

7 General KPIs): Review the key performance indicators set by the municipality in terms of Local Government Management Regulations 2001 input, output, outcome indicators);

Through the review process it is established whether objectives, key performance indicators, targets and projects have been achieved or where changes should be made where the municipality did not achieve on its objectives, key performance indicators, targets and projects and thereby ensures that it delivers on its service delivery and complies with legislation. The review process starts with the review of the IDP where strategies, objectives, outcomes, outputs, targets and performance indicators are reviewed. Flowing from the review of the IDP, the SDBIP and Individual Performance Plans are reviewed to ensure that the IDP is implemented on operational level and is monitored, assessed, reported, evaluated and reviewed on quarterly basis. Performance review is a process whereby the organization, after measuring its own performance, assesses whether it is doing the right thing by:

#" Analyzing the information to see whether targets have been met and whether the future targets will be realized. #" Benchmarking to compare the performance of the Municipality with other similar Municipalities #" Surveys to obtain feedback from the community about their views of the performance of the municipality

The review takes place simultaneously with the IDP review and adjustment budget phases. The KwaDukuza Municipality has to date applied all methods in assessing its performance, and is continuously seeking ways to improve assessment of its performance.

g) Reporting on Performance Reporting requires that the municipality takes the priorities of the organization, its performance objectives, indicators, targets, measurements and analysis, and presents this information in a simple and accessible format, relevant and useful to the specific target group, for review. The Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) is the basis for the Municipality’s reporting. Generally four reports are submitted per annum to Council.

114 KwaDukuza Municipality Integrated Development Plan - 2011/16 Report Type Description Quarterly IDP and The SDBIP is a key management, implementation and monitoring tool, which SDBIP reporting provides operational content to the end-of-year service delivery targets, set in the budget and IDP. It determines the performance agreements for the munici- pal manager and all top managers, whose performance can then be monitored through Section 71 monthly reports, and evaluated through the annual report process. The SDBIP information on revenue will be monitored and reported monthly by the municipal manager in terms of Section 71(1)(a) and (e). For example, if there is lower than anticipated revenue and an overall cash shortage in a particular month the municipality may have to revise its spending downwards to ensure that it does not borrow more than anticipated. More importantly, such information requires the municipality to take urgent remedial steps to ensure it improves on its revenue collection capacity if the municipality wants to maintain its levels of service deliv- ery and expenditure. Section 1 of the MFMA, Act 56 of 2003 states that the SDBIP as a detailed plan approved by the mayor of a municipality in terms of service delivery should make projections for each month of the revenue to be collected, by source, as well as the operational and capital expenditure, by vote. The service delivery targets and performance indicators need to be reported on quarterly (MFMA, 2003).

Mid-year budget and Section 72 of the MFMA requires the accounting officer to prepare and submit a DPLG report report on the performance of the municipality during the first half of the financial year. The report must be submitted to the mayor, National Treasury as well as the relevant Provincial Treasury. As with all other reports this is a crucial report for the Council to consider mid-year performance and what adjustments should be made, if necessary. Performance report Section 46 of the Municipal Systems Act states that a municipality must prepare for each financial year, a performance report that reflects the following:

#" The performance of the municipality and of each external service provided #" during that financial year; #" A comparison of the performances referred to in the above paragraph with #" targets set for and performances in the previous financial year; and #" Measures to be taken to improve on the performance

The performance report must be submitted at the end of the financial year and will be made public as part of the annual report in terms of chapter 12 of the MFMA. The publication thereof will also afford the public the opportunity to judge the performance of the municipality against the targets set in the various planning instruments. Annual report Every municipality and every municipal entity under the municipality’s control is required by Section 121 to prepare an annual report for each financial year, which must include: #" the annual financial statements of the municipality or municipal entity as #" submitted to the Auditor-General for audit (and, if applicable, consolidated #" annual financial statements); #" the Auditor-General’s audit report on the financial statements; #" an assessment by the accounting officer of any arrears on municipal taxes #" and service charges; #" particulars of any corrective action taken or to be taken in response to issues raised in the audit reports; #" any explanations that may be necessary to clarify issues in connection with the financial statements; Chapter 9 #" any information as determined by the municipality, or, in the case of a #" municipal entity, the entity or its parent municipality; #" any recommendations of the municipality’s audit committee, or, in the case of a municipal entity, the audit committee of the entity or of its parent municipality

115 #" an assessment by the accounting officer of the municipality’s performance #" against the measurable performance objectives for revenue collection and for each vote in the municipality’s approved budget for the relevant financial year; #" an assessment by the accounting officer of the municipality’s performance against any measurable performance objectives set in terms the service delivery agreement or other agreement between the entity and its parent municipality; #" the annual performance report prepared by a municipality; and #" any other information as may be prescribed.

Section 127 prescribes the submission and tabling of annual reports. In terms of this section: 1) The accounting officer of a municipal entity must, within six months after the end of a financial year, submit the entity’s annual report for that financial year to the municipal manager of its parent municipality. 2) The mayor of a municipality must, within seven months after the end of a financial year, table in the municipal council the annual report of the municipality and of any municipal entity under the municipality’s sole or shared control. 3) If the mayor, for whatever reason, is unable to table in the council the an- nual report of the municipality, or the annual report of any municipal entity under the municipality’s sole or shared control, within seven months after the end of the financial year to which the report relates, the mayor must: (a) submit to the council a written explanation setting out the reasons for the delay, together with any components of the annual report that are ready; and (b) submit to the council the outstanding annual report or the outstanding components of the annual report as soon as may be possible. Oversight report The council of a municipality must consider the municipality’s annual report (and that of any municipal entity under the municipality’s control), and in terms of Sec- tion 129, within two months from the date of tabling of the annual report, must adopt an oversight report containing the council’s comments, which must include a statement whether the council:

(a) has approved the annual report with or without reservations; (b) has rejected the annual report; or (c) has referred the annual report back for revision of those components that can be revised.

In terms of Section 132, the following documents must be submitted by the accounting officer to the provincial legislature within seven days after the municipal council has adopted the relevant oversight report:

(a) the annual report (or any components thereof) of each municipality and each municipal entity in the province; and (b) all oversight reports adopted on those annual reports. It is important to note that the oversight committee working with these reports should be chaired by the opposition party.

The households in a Municipality are not static and are continually increasing – therefore within a restricted resource allocation towards service delivery, it might look as if eradication of service delivery backlogs is slow – however the backlog might be growing as a result of unplanned for growth due to migration etc. When the number of households is annually increased as per growth figures, it creates tension on the reporting side. Targets are set in line with the established need in departmental business plans, which are to be included in the IDP. When the budget is finalized, however, the resource requests are not granted due to budgetary constraints – the impact of this is that sometimes the targets are not changed in the IDP. The KwaDukuza Municipality’s performance management policy under review makes provision for the review of organizational and individual performance. Chapter 9

119 Response to the findings of the Auditor-General for 20009/10

The following table shows the findings of the Auditor-General for the 2008/09 financial year on the Municipality’s PMS. The table also details the KwaDukuza Municipality’s comments and the action plan to respond to the findings.

Audit Finding Comments Inconsistently reported performance information The municipality has not reported throughout on its perfor- mance with regard to its targets as per the approved inte- grated development plan. Targets in respect of low income housing and the amnesty meter program were excluded from the service delivery budget and implementation plan. In addition, no evidence could be provided for the approval to infrastructure targets from the approved IDP

Reported performance information not relevant The targets relating to the housing programme were not specific in clearly identifying the nature and the required level of performance, measurable in identifying the required performance and time bound in specifying the time period or deadline for delivery Source information not accurate and complete The source information or evidence provided with regard to the housing programme did not adequately support the accuracy and completeness of the reported performance information
