MAYOR’S SUMMARY REPORT

SPEECH BY THE MAYOR OF uMNGENI MUNICIPALITY

CLLR M.P. MYENI PRESENTED TO THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL ON THE OCCASION OF THE TABLING OF THE 2012/2013, 2013/2014, 2014/2015 DRAFT BUDGET AND INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, HOWICK,

ON WEDNESDAY 28 MARCH 2012

Madam Speaker,

Executive Committee Members,

Councillors,

Acting Municipal Manager,

General Managers,

Chief Financial Officer,

Staff,

Members of the media and Public,

Ladies and Gentlemen.

It is a great honour to present to you the multi-year budget for uMngeni Municipality in respect of the 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 financial years.

Madam Speaker and members of Council, this multi-year budget is tabled in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), No 56 of 2003 and in terms of the Municipal Budget & Reporting Regulations. The MFMA requires that the budget be tabled ninety (90) days before the start of the financial year and we are fully complying with this requirement. It is the intention to have this budget finally approved on 30 May 2012 which will be in compliance of the requirements of the MFMA.

Inflation is forecast to remain within the target range of 5.7 to 5.9 percent, edging towards the upper end of the range in 2014 as the economy strengthens. This was taken into account when the budget was compiled.

Cognisance should be taken that the SALGA Salary Wage Collective Agreement has come to an end and National Treasury has advised to make provision for an increase of 5% for the 2012/2013 financial year. As part of Government's aim to create jobs, provision has been made to fill vacancies in respect of 50 General Workers with effect from 1 January 2013.

Furthermore, the increase in the electricity tariffs as approved by the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa will result in a 13% in the bulk purchases for 2012/13 financial year. This increase is way above the headline inflation forecasts. The guideline increase for municipalities to pass on to their consumers is only 1 I%.

a uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Madam Speaker, you are aware of the huge electricity losses experienced by uMngeni Municipality through technical losses, tampering, illegal connections and theft. I am however, please to announce that we have entered into an agreement with IDT through the Department of Energy to conduct an assessment of the entire Electricity Service and also to implement the findings to address these losses. This amounts to millions of rand with no contribution from uMngeni Municipality.

Although the Municipal Property Rates Act makes provision for the rating of roads, but upon discussion with National Departments they are of the view that it is against national economic activities to rate roads. For this reason no provision has been made to rate provincial and national roads in the 2012/13 financial year. This will result in a decrease of R1 1 million in the rates income for the 2012/13 financial year.

Madam Speaker, the uMgungundlovu District Municipality will take over the Environmental Health Function from 1 July 2012 which will result in a saving of R1.6 million per annum. Furthermore the primary health care (clinics) will also be transferred to the Provincial Department of Health with an estimated annual saving of R3 million.

Madam Speaker, this Council's Third Generation Integrated Development Plan (IDP) to inform the 2012/13 financial year's budget was also tabled to Council today. I am pleased to announce that this draft budget is aligned to the draft revised IDP. Due to the current financial situation of uMngeni Municipality we can only fund capital projects through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant which amounts to R16.2 million.

Governance

The Internal Audit Activity stills operate under a Shared Internal Audit Services which has been running for almost 4 years this is an indication of a commitment in promoting the intergovernmental relations between the participating Municipalities. Internal Audit Activity has formed a working relationship with the Provincial Internal Audit Unit and National Treasury Risk and Internal Audit Support Unit for skills and resources sharing and to strengthen the Internal Audit Activities operations. As a result both the National and Provincial Treasuries engaged itself in coordinating the Risk Assessment Exercises within the Municipalities participating in the shared service. A risk based audit plan has been developed and systems of internal control were tested to effectively monitor the vulnerability of operations within the municipality. Through the Shared Service contribution an audit working paper tool has been sourced and is being rolled out to fast track effectiveness of audit sampling and this will also help internal audit to identify areas with high risk to be able to advise management of areas that needs urgent and immediate attention.

UMngeni Municipality Youth Advisory Centre is still standing and continues to service the youth who are seeking advice on careers, receiving vouchers for small businesses, life skills, and basic computer skills. Madam Speaker, we pride ourselves in services offered by the Youth Advisory Centre include, and includes accomplishment such as:

The Youth Advisory Centre will re-launch the Local Youth Committee, whereby one member from all the 11 wards will be a representative. The primary objective of this structure is to monitor and evaluate the youth development processes.

b uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Madam Speaker, one cannot over emphasise an outstanding responsibility of the municipality towards caring for children and recognising their rights as enshrined in Act 338 of 2005 which is nested in uMngeni Local Advisory Council for Council. The uMngeni Municipality continues to forge and establish relations with various stakeholders in ensuring that Children's Rights and welfare is well taken care of. Surrounding stakeholders the municipality engages with, include Dart, Children's Right Centre, Inkanyiso Day Care centre. Advocacy and awareness campaigns

Health

The HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) programme is the key intervention towards the realisation for HIV/AIDS National Strategy Plan for 2007-2011. Behavioural change campaigns include the Male Medical Circumcision campaign. The MEC for Health is currently leading an intensive circumcision campaign which is aimed at reducing the chances of HIV/AIDS transmission. Currently the uMngeni Municipality in conjunction with other stakeholders promotes this initiative. We recently hosted an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign, held on 08 and 09 December 2011, where 37 young men were screened for HCT and 16 males were circumcised.

Housing

Madam Speaker, we have over twelve (12) housing projects within the uMngeni Municipality. To date, 6217 low income houses have been constructed. These include areas such as Mpophomeni phase 3, Emandleni, Siphumelele, to name a few. Furthermore, there are projects that are in the planning and packaging stage, while construction has commenced for the Khayelisha area - which will in turn produce 500 houses.

Crime

Madam Speaker, crime affects everyone, and our area within uMngeni Municipality is also affected by various crimes. These include general theft, especially copper wire, in the farming areas - which consequently affects various essential services. Residential burglary has slightly decreased and stabilised., while business burglary in the Nottingham Road and Howick area has also slightly decreased. Also motor vehicle theft has stabilised. Murder rate has increased especially domestic cases in Howick area. Gang related crimes in Mpophomeni area continue to contribute to the murder statistics. Rape continues to fluctuate. We are pleased to report that the Family Child and Sexual Offence Unit (FCS) has been introduced. ATM fraud has tremendously decreased.

Drugs still continue to plaque our community, especially the youth. UMngeni Municipality, together with the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Community Policing Forum (CPF) and other stakeholders, have put crime prevention strategies in place. These include awareness campaigns at schools on drugs abuse, domestic abuse, etc.

The Cluster Crime Combating Forum - it consists of police stations within the uMngeni jurisdiction - primarily monitors, implements strategies in combating crimes within this jurisdiction.

Economic Development

In our endeavour to fulfill our constitutional mandate of promoting economic development in the 2010/2011 Financial Year, we managed to fully package the first phase of the Nelson Mandela Capture Site Upgrade project. The project is positively progressing, and we are positive that we will meet our deadline to launch and commemorate the 50'h anniversary of the site in August 2012.

c uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

To promote regional economic growth and development and to drive the implementation of catalytic LED projects within the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. The Industrial Development Corporation approved R1.12 million for the establishment of the Midlands Economic Development Agency. Considerable amount of preparatory work dealing with the formulation of an appropriate institutional mandate and policy framework for the shared municipal ownership of the agency has been achieved. Last year October saw the appointment of the board by formal resolution of the councils involved, i.e. uMngeni, uMtshezi and Mpofana.

Madam Speaker, in ensuring that tourism development is as inclusive as possible and that the previously disadvantaged individuals and communities are brought into the mainstream of tourism development. The construction of the Mpophomeni Tourism Gateway Complex in Mpophomeni Township is 97% complete and envisaged to be launched mid June 2012.

Madam Speaker, currently we are applying for additional funding of R2.8 million from the IDC - to be tabled at their April Funding Committee Meeting. The success of the application is conditional upon the completion of pre-establishment tasks, which include:

Initiation of a process to appoint a CEO by the Agency Board of Directors; Receipt and or Payment of all outstanding reciprocal contributions by each partner municipality, and The implementation of a Due Diligence Audit by the IDC (to assess current grant expenditure and performance in terms of agreed grant conditions)

Madam Speaker, we will continue to put more focus on economic development by continuing to implement projects such as the Upgrade of the Nelson Mandela Capture Site; and the Howick Falls Precinct Development through the Midlands Development Agency

Infrastructure Development

Although the financial climate has had an impact on service delivery within our municipality, we are looking forward to improvements.

In this regard we have achieved in the following areas in 2010/2011:

ENERGY

Delivered approximately 650 new electricity connections through the innovation of providing electricity in Eskom license area and have moved to electrify rural communities. Significant strengthening of existing electricity infrastructure in Howick. System design for the electricity consumer loss audit is well advanced and will result in the reduction in electricity losses. Those vandalizing municipal infrastructure and stealing electricity must be cautioned that stern action will be taken. Free Basic Electricity of 100 kwh per month for all consumers on pre-paid meters.

Madam Speaker, cognisance should be taken that for the period 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013, Eskom will increase the municipal tariff rates for bulk electricity purchases by 16%. Municipalities are, however only allowed to increase the electricity selling price by 1 I%. Provision has been made for this 1 1 % increase in the electricity tariffs. This is however still subject to the approval of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa.

d uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

INFRA-STRUCTURE

The construction of the P390 from Mpophomeni to Msunduzi municipal boundary will have economic benefits to all. Constructed and commissioned roads and stormwater infrastructure in excess of 6.5km of new roads. The construction and improvements to the main street this calendar year will reduce traffic congestion from prospect road to the uMngeni River. Construction and improvements on the P142 from the N3 towards the railway underpass will improve traffic flow and safety in this area.

RATES & PROPERTY

The new general valuation roll came into effect on 1 July 2011 and the process of objections/appeals is still ongoing and the result is not yet known. The Rates Policy has been amended to make provision for the new categories of properties and categories of owners. Free Basic Refuse Removal Service for all properties with a value of R200 000 or less. Properties with a value of more than R200 000 will pay a refuse charge of R48.20 per month with effect from 1 July 2012. There will be rates exemption up to R100 000 of the valuation for residential properties in 2012/13. Further exemptions will be considered for the outer years when next year's budget is compiled. All residential properties will receive a 30% rebate and retirement villages like Amberglen, Amberfield and Golden Pond will receive an additional 20% rebate. Pensioners with a monthly income of up to R9 000 will still receive a further rebate of 30%. Agricultural Properties, Public Service Infrastructure Properties and Public Benefit Organisation Properties must be rated in terms of a 1:0.25 ratio from 1 July 2010 as per Government Gazette No 33016 dated 12 March 2010. This has been taken into account when the draft budget was compiled. Incentives to commercial & industrial consumers/ratepayers are still applicable.

Madam Speaker with all the incentives explained above it is necessary to increase the rate randage by 6% for the 2012/13 financial year. The proposed rate randage will be 1.29 cents in the Rand.

I must mention Madam Speaker, that after this meeting, the municipality will have a combined public participation process with the uMgungundlovu District Municipality to showcase the IDP and Budget and to share with our people different views on what I am about to table to this Council.

I THANK YOU

uMNGENI MUNICIPALITY: INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO INFORM THE 2012/13 TO 2016/17 FINANCIAL YEARS: FINAL REPORT MAY 2012

1. BACKGROUND TO THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING APPROACH

1.1 WHAT IS AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP)?

Integrated Development Planning is a process through which municipalities prepare a strategic development plan, for a five year period. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a product of the process.

The IDP is the principle strategic planning document which guides all planning, budgeting, management and decision-making in a municipality.

Integrated Development Planning is therefore one of the key tools for local government to fulfill its new developmental role.

In terms of Chapter 5 of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 all municipalities are required to prepare and adopt Integrated Development Plans. The first uMngeni IDP was adopted in 2002.

The IDP has a five year lifespan which is in accordance with the term of office of the Council. At the end of the five year period, the new council has the option of either adopting the IDP of its predecessor, to bring forward aspects that are still relevant or to develop a new plan altogether.

This IDP will be a third generation IDP as two 5 year cycles have been completed.

1.2 APPROACH TO THE THIRD GENERATION OF IDP’s

The Provincial Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs held an “IDP Indaba” on 22 September 2011 to discuss the 3rd generation IDP’s. The draft Provincial Growth and Development Strategy 2011 (PGDS) has also been circulated and discussed. The main aspects highlighted from these discussions in relation to the IDP are:

1 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

The IDP is to be drafted for a 5 year period;

There will be 4 subsequent revisions thereafter;

There is a need to simplify and repackage the IDP’s;

In its Strategic approach, the IDP to be drafted to take into account the Strategic Goals set out in the PGDS, the KZN Provincial Priorities and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

The IDP is to take a Community Based Planning approach.

To fully align with National Key Performance Areas, IDP information is analysed under the following headings:

Municipal Transformation and Institutional Development

Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Investment

Local Economic Development

Good Governance and Public Participation

Financial Viability and Financial Management

Community and Social Development Services

1.3 WHAT IS COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING (CBP)?

According to the IDP examples provided, community-based planning (CBP) has been advocated at provincial level as a methodology for use in preparation of the Integrated Development Plan. It is a specific form of planning focusing at ward level which has been designed to promote community action and make the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of a municipal area more people-centered.

The CBP has been developed and tested in South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Ghana for use by municipalities and communities in South Africa.

2 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Community-based planning has been developed in order to enhance public participation in the IDP, and at the same time address the wishes of people and government for a deepened democracy.

The 4 objectives for CBP as sited in the IDP examples are:

To improve the quality of the IDP;

To improve the quality of services;

To improve the community’s control over development;

To increase community action and reduce dependency.

The following Principles are given for CBP:

To ensure that all groups in the community, including the disadvantaged can participate in the planning process;

Planning must be of the ward, and supported by the ward committee;

Planning should not be once off, but should be part of a longer process, with implementation, monitoring and annual evaluations and reviews;

The plan must focus on the people in the ward, so the plan is based around the livelihood of different groups;

The planning process must build the capacity within the community to understand their situation, plan how to improve it, and then implement this. In the process the community produces their own plan with support from ward and municipal facilitators;

To build on strengths and opportunities in the area and not problems, which makes us more likely to succeed and not to be paralysed by the problems;

Planning should cover all aspects of people’s lives;

Planning should promote mutual accountability between the community and officials;

There must be commitment by Councillors and officials to both plan and implement the plan.

uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

It will be necessary, as far as timing and funding permits to hold Ward level meetings. The Status Quo analysis will need to cover existing information at Ward level, and key priorities and projects will need to be listed at Ward level.

2. STATUS QUO ANALYSIS

2.1 LOCALITY

uMngeni Municipality is located within the uMgungundlovu District which is regarded as the heart of the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. Map 1 shows the location of the District within the KwaZulu-Natal Province. Map 2 shows the 7 Local Municipalities that fall within the District.

uMngeni is situated centrally within the uMgungundlovu District, and shares a boundary with the Impendle Local Municipality to the south west, to the north and north west is the Mpofana Local Municipality which is closely tied to the uMngeni Municipality in terms of potential tourism (Midlands Meander), and to the south east The Msunduzi Local Municipality which is the capital of the province and economic hub of the District. To the east of uMngeni is the uMshwathi Local Municipality. To the west are the former District Management Areas of the Drakensberg that fall under the Transfrontier Development Initiative related to the World Heritage Site.

The extent of the uMngeni Municipality is 1564 km². It lies about 20 km north of Pietermaritzburg and is strategically located on the N3 National Route. The N3, being of national and regional importance provides a direct linkage to the primary economic nodes of Durban and Gauteng allowing for ease of trade, industrial and transportation activity (Urban Econ 2011).

6 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

2.2 URBAN/RURAL AND MAIN WARD CHARACTERISTICS

The urban areas of Howick, Merrivale, Mphophomeni, Hilton and Worlds View together with intervening areas including Cedara and Midmar Dam are considered as the Primary Urban Node of uMngeni. Secondary Urban Nodes are Lidgetton and Nottingham Road. The extent of the urban nodes is 236km2 representing 15% of the municipality (uMngeni SDF 2011).

There are settlement areas run in a Traditional Authority manner directly to the south west of Mphophomeni (KwaNxamala/Inadi). These have been incorporated into the Primary Node. 7 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

The remaining 85% of the municipality is rural farmland with a strong tourism industry based on the Midlands Meander.

There are 12 Wards within the municipality. Wards 1, 2, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 cover the majority of Howick, Merrivale, Mpophomeni, Hilton and Worlds View and are substantially urban in nature. The remaining Wards include some urban components but are mainly rural. The characteristic of each Ward is discussed in more detail under Section 2.10

2.3 POPULATION STATISTICS

Population estimates for uMngeni for 2005 to 2010 is set out in Table 1 below. These are based on information sourced by Urban Econ from Quantec 2010. The National, Provincial and District figures are provided by way of comparison.

South Africa Kwazulu-Natal uMgungundlovu uMngeni

It can be seen that uMngeni has experienced a higher growth rate over the past 5 years than that of the National, Provincial or District. With reference to Table 2 below, the uMngeni growth rate has slowed to 0.9% between 2009 and 2010.

uMngeni Local Population Compound Average population Year Municipality Growth rate growth rate (2005– 2010) 2005 81397 2006 83059 2.0% 2007 84761 2.0% 2008 86404 1.9% 2009 87458 1.2% 2010 88243 0.9% 1.63% Table 2 – Table showing population growth rates (Source: Urban-Econ and Quantec)

The estimated population of uMngeni in 2010 was 88 243 people. The number of households in 2010 was 22305 giving an average household size of 4 persons.

Based on the 1.63% growth rate per annum, population projections for the Municipality up to 2021 are illustrated in Table 3 below. By 2016 the population is anticipated to increase by some 8979 persons (2 245 households), to 97222 persons (24 305 Households).

The graph below depicts the population size according to age and gender in 2010. The majority of the population fall within the age group 15 years – 65 years also defined as the working age population, and the least in the above 65 yeas age group. Within the working age population age group there are slightly more females than males, and in the age group defined 0-14 years there are more males than females. Urban-Econ indicates that a possible reason for more females in the working age population in uMngeni Municipality is the out migration of men to larger urban areas in search of employment opportunities.

9 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Figure 1- Gender according to age Group (Source: Urban-Econ and Quantec)

The 2010 percentage breakdown between the 3 age groups is 0-14years:26%, 15 -64years: 67%, >65years: 7%. Urban Econ also looked at the population size according to age and gender for 2006, and the percentage breakdown between age groups was similar to that of 2010, as were the Stats SA 2007 Community Survey and the 2001 and 1996 Census Data. The age group structure has remained stable in uMngeni.

The overall male to female ratio for 2010 was 50% each (44017 males and 44226 females).

2.4 SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRENDS

The Provincial IDP Guidelines indicate that the following Socio-Economic trends need to be examined:

Occupation group analysis % of professionals: The percentage of highly skilled and skilled persons increased marginally between 2006 and 2010, but this was only in the tertiary sector (2%) with tourism being the likely prime area of growth. Age Groups: Distribution across age groups has remained stable in comparison to 2001 in the Municipality Unemployment rate: The overall unemployment rate (ratio of employed to unemployed) in uMngeni decreased from 19% in 2005 to 17% in 2009. The employment growth was, however, only in the informal sector and there was a decline in the number of actual persons employed. Poverty: The economic profile report does not contain recent statistics regarding the levels of poverty in uMngeni. The outcome of the 2011 Census will hopefully address this. The levels of poverty are said to have decreased in uMngeni by 14% between 1996 and 2004. In 2001, 43% of the households were living on less than R800 per month. Apart from Msunduzi and uMngeni, poverty has increased in all Municipalities in the District. Employability: The economic report indicates there is a shortage of skilled and highly skilled labour in the economic sectors. Labour absorption: The potential in the formal sector for labour absorption is poor.

10 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Wages and Sectors: The Sector that employs mainly semi-skilled and unskilled labour is the Primary Sector which is dominated by Agriculture. Employment levels are, however, low compared to other sectors. The Tertiary Sector has the highest level of employment (67%) dominated by Wholesale and retail, catering and accommodation where wage levels are higher.

The graph below presents the Gross Value Added (GVA) output at constant 2005 prices per economic sector1 over a five year period (2006-2010). The graph shows that the tertiary economic sector has been performing the best of the three sectors and has grown from R1 937million in 2006 to R2 266million in 2010 at an annual growth rate of 4 %, and the primary sector performing the worst and has declined from R 489 million in 2006 to R 484 million in 2010 at an average annual growth rate of -0.2 %. The secondary sector has seen an increase from 2006 at R 765 million to 2008 at R 843 million, and a decrease from in 2009 to R 777 million, thereafter an increase to R 812 million in 2010 and has grown in production value at an average annual growth rate of 1.5 %. The GVA and growth rates are summarized in Table 4, and broken down further into the Economic Industries.

Although agriculture in terms of magnitude is an important economic sector relative to all other sectors (and will probably remain so), its contribution to the local economy is declining. Growth sectors are wholesale and retail trade, catering and accommodation (which includes tourism); manufacturing, which has remained constant; finance, insurance, real estate and business services as well as community, social and business services, both of which are reflected in the office development that has occurred during the past few years and construction, which has grown rapidly. The latter is due to the magnitude of recent housing developments, the positive effects of which are probably still being absorbed into the local economy.

The graph below shows the employment for uMngeni per industry per economic sector over the five year period from 2005 - 2010. Employment in agriculture has decreased the most at an average annual growth rate of -21.3% from 9135 in 2005 to 3496 in 2010. The employment in the manufacturing industry has decreased from 3543 in 2005 to 3179 in 2010 at an average annual growth rate of -2.7 %. The wholesale and retail, catering and accommodation industry accounts for the most employment in 2010, increasing from 5664 people in 2005 to 5913 people in 2010. This is followed by community, social and personal services and general government having increased from 2781 people in 2005 to 3498 people in 2010. The construction industry has increased at an average annual growth rate of 4.6 % at 2117 people in 2005 to 2536 people in 2010 which corresponds with the GVA produced for that sector which has increased substantially at an average annual growth rate of 15.5 %.

12 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Figure 3 – Industry specific formal and informal employment in uMngeni Local Municipality (Source: Urban-Econ and Quantec)

Table 5 below indicates the employment profile for the Age Group 15 to 64 years in uMngeni for 2005 and 2009:

LABOUR FORCE 2005 2009 Employed 32021 60% 29606 50% Unemployed 7724 14% 6022 11%

Not Economically Active 13826 26% 22803 39% Total Population of Working 53571 100% 58431 100% Age Unemployment Rate 19% 17% Table 5 – Employment and unemployment for 2005 and 2009 (Source: Urban-Econ and Quantec)

The issues here are the overall decline in employment, some of which has probably been absorbed in the informal sector or which have alternatively become not economically active (this category includes unemployed people who have stopped looking for work), and the alarming decline in employment in the agricultural sector, which is of a much greater magnitude than its decline in output.

The implications of all of the above are that:

Although productive agricultural land should continue to be protected, compatible but secondary activities should be supported in agricultural areas to provide farmers with additional sources of income. 13 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

Office decentralization from Msunduzi seems to be increasing.

uMngeni is becoming a sought-after residential area.

Basic infrastructure should be provided in strategic locations (i.e. at the priority N3 interchanges and along the Merrivale/Boston corridor) to stimulate appropriate mixed use development with an emphasis on manufacturing.

2.5 TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

uMngeni Municipality is located on the N3 National Route which has been identified in the Provincial Spatial Economic Development Strategy (PSEDS) as one of the primary corridors in the Province. It provides access to major markets.

uMngeni is well served by Provincial Roads. A problem area is the volume of heavy traffic on the R103 which undermines the rural character of the Midlands Meander which needs to be protected as a major tourism route.

The upgrade of tourism routes identified at District Level is an important area of focus impacting on uMngeni.

2.6 AGRICULTURE POTENTIAL

Agriculture plays a significant role in the economy of uMngeni as a generator of income, as well as an employment provider.

According to the Provincial Department of Agriculture, only 4% of the agricultural land in the country can be classified as having high production potential. The District SDF report highlights that there is increasing pressure on good quality agricultural land, and given the national importance of food security, the correct management of this increasingly scarce resource becomes a key issue in spatial planning, both at a district and a local level.

The uMngeni Spatial Development Framework has identified areas for Agricultural Development Only. A plan of agricultural potential forms an integral part of the SDF and is used to assess development applications.

In terms of land use management the following equally important but seemingly conflicting objectives will need to be balanced:

The protection of high potential agricultural land;

The release of land for future urban expansion;

The facilitation of tourism development;

The conservation of areas of conservation and water production significance.

2.7 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

In terms of the C-Plan and MINSET assessments undertaken by KZN Wildlife, uMngeni contains extensive areas of conservation significance.

14 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

These assessments are at a very broad level, and a more detailed assessment has been undertaken at a local level taking current land use and slope into account. This has been updated in 2011 and takes into account the latest KZN Wildlife information and current land use. The plan of environmental priority forms an integral part of the uMngeni SDF and is used to assess development applications.

A 2011 study covering the sensitivity of landscapes to tourism confirms the suitability of the Midlands Meander area for tourism. Limited areas to the west in close proximity to the Drakensberg are highlighted due to the high sensitivity of the landscape. A worrying aspect is that these areas are in private ownership. Also highlighted is the sensitivity of the Karkloof Nature Reserve. The study has identified further areas to the north of Howick as having high capacity for tourism. The high agricultural potential of these areas has not, however, been taken into account.

Recently there has been private Nature Reserves gazetted, for example, on portion of the Hilton College estate. A further Private Nature reserve has been proposed at Michael House. Within the Howick Urban area, there are areas set aside for Conservation purposes that include Howick Falls, portions of the Umngeni River Valley and Beacon Hill Ingongoni Mistbelt Reserve.

The 2011 COP17 Conference held in Durban at the end of 2011 has highlighted the need for focus on green issues and to strive for sustainable development practices.

2.8 WATER RESOURCES

Rivers occurring within uMngeni Municipality include the major river for the Durban- Pietermaritzburg region via the Mgeni River as well as the Lions, Mpofana, Karkloof, Dargle, Gudu, uMthinzima, KwaGqishi, Nguku, Kusane, Gwens Spruit and Elands with the Mooi River forming a portion of boundary between the uMngeni and Mpofana Municipalities. The headwaters of the Mgeni River straddle the boundary between the uMngeni and Impendle Municipalities. The major storage dam for the regional economy viz. Midmar Dam is located in uMngeni Municipality as well as a portion of the Albert Falls Dam, which also plays an important role in the assurance of bulk water supply for the region. Midmar Dam is a critical storage dam with good water quality that needs to be retained to avoid a drastic increase in water treatment costs. Therefore the majority of uMngeni Municipality occurs within the strategic quaternary catchment for water supply for the Durban-Pietermaritzburg economy. The Spring Grove Dam, on the Mooi River which is required to augment the existing water supply for the region, is under construction and fallS in both the uMngeni and Mpofana Municipalities.

2.9 TOURISM

One of the main elements of the District Tourism Strategy is that the district as a whole should be promoted and marketed as a destination, expanding the eco-tourism and cultural heritage themes that have proven so successful in the Midlands Meander across the whole District. It further recommends that stronger linkages be established with the Drakensberg.

15 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

The Midlands Meander is primarily based in uMngeni. Other primary attractions include:

Howick Falls Midmar Dam The Karkloof The Zulu Mpophomeni Tourism Experience The Nelson Mandela Capture Site Worlds View Albert Falls Dam

A Tourism Plan has been prepared for the municipality. Flowing from this project master plans have been formulated for the Howick Falls area, Midmar Dam, Karkloof Falls and Worlds View.

The number of households indicating they were without access to piped water in 2001 was 1573 (8 %), and the 2007 figure was 1163 (5%); those without access to electricity in 2001 stood at 5274 (26 %) and the 2007 figure was 6130 (28%); those without access to at least a VIP (ventilated improved pit latrine) in 2001 was 4296 (21%) and the 2007 figure stood at 3317 (15%); and those without access to municipal waste removal in 2001 was 8871 (43%), the 2007 figure stood at 7992 (37%).

National Targets are to reach a 100% access to potable water, sanitation to at least VIP level, access to legal electricity, and weekly refuse removal in terms of Vision 2014.

Water is supplied by the uMgungundlovu District Municipality. The 2010 District Water Plan provides the information on Communities without or largely without a water supply, and those with an inadequate water supply which requires expansion or upgrade. These have been sorted according to Wards and are set out in Table 8below.

MIG funding for Hhaza Ward 9 Sanitation Project was to roll out over a 5 year period for basic sanitation with a total budget of R21 Million, however, the District is considering waterborne sewage disposal. The re-establishment of the Mpophomeni Waste Water Works was seen as a priority project in terms of the Districts Turnaround Strategy.

Electricity is provided by uMngeni Municipality in the Howick area, Msunduzi in the Hilton area and the rest of the area is served directly by Eskom. The Msunduzi has budgeted for increased electricity provision in Hilton which is scheduled for completion in November 2012.

Waste Removal is the responsibility of the uMngeni Municipality and is restricted to urban areas.

Housing is funded by the Provincial Department of Human Settlements but housing projects are coordinated by uMngeni Municipality. The projects presently underway are summarized in Table 11 below:

Local Roads are primarily the responsibility of uMngeni, while the Provincial Department of Transport is responsible for Provincial Roads and SANRAL for the N3 National Road. The uMngeni Capital Budget consists mainly of Roads and Stormwater projects with an annual budget of R17 Million Rand. This relates to upgrading of roads. A maintenance budget forms part of the Operational Budget.

2.12 FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF THE MUNICIPALITY

The uMngeni Municipality has recently experienced negative media coverage regarding its finances. Ina Cronje, the MEC for Finance, stated the following in an article published in the Witness on Monday 24 October 2011:

“There is a fundamental difference between a municipality’s financial viability and its state of finances. A municipality is considered to be financially viable when it has the means and management capacity to deliver on its constitutional mandate.

uMngeni Municipality has an operating budget revenue base in excess of R200 million per annum of which only 17% is derived from grants. What this means is that over 80% of its revenue is generated from ratesand service charges which provide a sustainable revenue base to enable the municipality to continue to deliver services. The municipality is therefore financially viable.

The current state of finances, however, reveals that the municipality is incurring operating deficits. The reasons behind this are twofold:

The operating expenditure is excessive and needs to be trimmed to be lower than its revenue streams.

The tariffs associated with the distribution of electricity do not reflect the cost associated with provision of the service and need to be reviewed.

These factors were identified by the Provincial Treasury in the course of its support to the municipality, and steps were put in place and recommendations made to the municipality to address the problem in a sustainable manner over the medium term.

There is no denying that uMngeni Municipality’s finances are in a poor state particularly around cash flow and cash management. Consequent to Treasury’s limited support programme, the municipality has shown some improvement in reducing its net available cash position from an overdrawn R25 million at the start of the 2010/11 financial year to an overdrawn R20 million at the end of the financial year. The pace of this improvement is,

23 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

however, slow. This may be due to municipal officials not enforcing the rigorous conditions of financial management recommended by Treasury. The turning around of the finances of a municipality on a ten cent coin is not feasible. It takes time, discipline and effort on the part of the stakeholders to address the problems in a sustainable manner.

Treasury believes that the current administration at the municipality must take ownership of the problems and have the commitment to address them immediately with discipline. Under the Municipal Support Programme, Treasury will continue to support the municipality in improving its financial standing as we have done for some time.

I am convinced that the uMngeni Municipality has the potential to be one of the leading municipalities in the province, provided that it manages its finances with care and diligence.”

The municipality is committed to continue with its turnaround strategy over the next 5 years.

3. ADVANTAGES

3.1 SWOT ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND

This SWOT analysis has been derived by Council in terms of a Strategic Planning Workshop held on 23 February 2012. For ease of reference, the issues raised have been grouped under the 6 KPA’s of the Five Year Local Government Strategic Agenda namely:

Municipal Transformation and Institutional Development

Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Investment

Local Economic Development

Good Governance and Community Participation

Financial Viability and Financial Management

Community and Social Development Services.

In order to understand the SWOT analysis, it is relevant to discuss the concepts of the external and internal environments of the municipality. The external environment refers to features and processes which occur outside the municipality, while the internal environment refers to the characteristics and the processes which occur within the municipal boundaries. In the analysis Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats should be seen from the perspectives of both the external and internal environments. Strengths and Weaknesses refer to the current situation, while Opportunities and Threats should be seen as both the present and the future situation as it may apply to the municipality.

Definitions

Strength: A strength is a feature of the municipality or its location which gives a competitive advantage. It is a feature which should not be lost or

uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

degraded

Weakness: A weakness in this context is a characteristic of the municipality or a process which could prohibit or hinder the attainment of a desirable

future situation.

Opportunity: An opportunity is a situation or set of circumstances which, if dealt with appropriately, could assist significantly in moving the municipality towards achieving desirable improvements.

Threat: A threat is a set of circumstances or a trend or process which could result in reduced levels of well-being.

4.4 STRATEGIC GOALS OF THE KWAZULU-NATAL (KZN) PROVINCIAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (PGDS)

KZN has had a PGDS since 1996 with 2 review processes since then. In February 2011 the KZN Cabinet adopted the PGDS Review Framework.

The purpose of the 2011 PGDS is to:

Develop a clear long term vision and plan for the growth and development of the Province by building on the strengths and opportunities while addressing weaknesses and threats;

Mobilize all development partners to achieve pre-determined development objectives and targets;

Promote vertical, horizontal and spatial alignment;

Spatially contextualize and prioritise (not just what also when and where) so as to achieve spatial equity;

Guide the activities and resource allocation of Provincial Government and other spheres of government, business sectors, organized labour and other role players from civil society that can contribute to the development of the Province;

Develop clean institutional arrangements to secure by-in and ownership, through structured consultation processes with all sector and development parties;

Define clear cut goals and indicators

Direct commitment to the allocation of resources to manage and implement this PGDS;

Build a strong centre and decisive outcomes and ensuring that the PGDS is afforded the status as the primary plan of the Province.

The PGDS report covers National and Provincial Policy Context; Current Status and Strategic Analysis; Vision, Goals, objectives and potential developmental interventions; and the Provincial Spatial and Development Framework.

A further phase is envisaged being the Provincial Growth and Development Plan which will focus on the implementation framework, namely, the institutional arrangements, activities and targets in respect of each intervention, monitoring, evaluation, reporting and reviewing

41 uMNGENI IDP 2012/13 TO 2016/17

mechanisms crucial to delivery of the strategy as well as some catalytic interventions and major projects.

The 7 Strategic Goals of the PGDS are:

1. Job Creation

2. Human Resource Development

3. Human and Community Development

4. Strategic Infrastructure

5. Environmental Sustainability and Response to Climate Change

6. Governance and Policy

7. Spatial Equity.

The PGDS contains the Provincial Spatial Development Framework. The majority of uMngeni is designated as an “Economic Support Area”. “Priority Conservation Areas” occur to the north along the Mooi and Karkloof Rivers, and the Mgeni River Valley is indicated as a “Biodiversity Priority Area”.

The areas of economic support occur in a number of regions in the Province. The PGDS describes these areas as follows: “Due to the fact that these areas represent a larger distribution across the entire province than the core areas of economic value adding, these zones are considered important areas of Economic Support. Typical interventions in these areas would include economic prioritization of development, labour force interventions (e.g. skills development), key economic infrastructure investment and area promotion.”

4.5 NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL PRIORITIES

The five National and Six Provincial Priorities include the following:

1. Job Creation (Decent Work and Economic Growth)

2. Education

3. Health

4. Rural Development, Food Security and Land Reform

5. Fighting Crime and Corruption

6. Nation Building and Good Governance.

4.6 UNITED NATIONS MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The following is a summary of the issues raised by Ward, both from the meeting notes and the written input. It should be noted that where possible, issues raised relating to facilities in other Wards have been placed under the Wards where the facility occurs.
