M. MAHAYE It is my privilege to present the Final IDP for the 2014/2015 financial year. The IDP was compiled under challenging circumstances. Council was challenged with a very difficult period, where regular council meetings did not take place, vacancies in senior positions existed for the whole of the current financial year and important decisions were delayed. Against this background and a very challenging economic period, we still succeeded to deliver services at an acceptable level. We have also managed to obtain an unqualified audit report for the previous year. The draft IDP was tabled and available for comments and further input through a process of community consultation, before approval. While taking into account of the constrained fiscal environment, we continue to support Government’s commitment to broadening service delivery and expanding investment in infrastructure. There are certain challenges, but this IDP will take us forward and we will be comitted to address and resolve the major challenges such as meter-tampering and the community at large will have to co-operate in dealing with this challenge. Should we fail to stop these unlawful practices, it will result in cash flow problems with a detrimental effect on service delivery. Council will have to apply all efforts to resolve these challenges before much progress could be made in addressing other challenges like improved service delivery and meeting the needs of the community. We all are very aware of the demands for increased service delivery, as much as we are aware of the fact that the needs will always be more than the resources to satisfy those needs. ENDUMENI MUNICIPALITY FINAL IDP 2014/15 Page | iii We will just have to continue applying more wisdom in spending patterns and choices to be made on spending of available funds. Non-essential spending must be curbed. The IDP once again was compiled with due consideration of the Budget, with one of the main priorities being the financial sustainability of Endumeni. Our strategy remains to provide core infrastructure and reliable services at affordable tariffs for our community and to improve the standard of living of all people of Endumeni. I thank you!
