The other two (2) documents are the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) reviewed annually, which is a 5-Year long Council Strategic Planning Document, and the Municipal Annual Budget, which make provision for the collection of municipal revenue and the allocation of financial resources towards the implementation of the capital as well as the operational programmes of Council. The Integrated Development Plan and the Annual Budget are both forward-looking documents in that they are prepared and adopted ahead of the commencement of the relevant financial year, setting out the pre-determined developmental objectives with regard to what the municipality intends doing and how. The annual report, which is the document we are concerned with here, is backward-looking, reporting on the actual performance at the end of the preceding financial year on how the Municipality has implemented the Integrated Development Plan and Budget through the Service Delivery & Budget Implementation Plan. In terms of section 121 of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003), the Municipality must for each and every financial year, prepare the annual report for submission and consideration by Council of a municipality within a period of nine (9) months from the end of a financial. The purpose of the annual report is: · To provide a record of the activities of the municipality during the financial year to which the annual report relates, both financial (budget implementation) as well as non-financial (service delivery performance) information to provide feed-back to the community and all other key stakeholders. · To provide a report on the performance against the budget of the municipality for that financial year. · To promote accountability to the local community for the decisions the Municipality made throughout the financial year. Furthermore Section 46 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) provides that the Municipality must prepare for each financial year a annual performance report consisting of the following: · Performance of the Municipality and of each service provider during the financial year. · Comparison of the performance of the financial year of reporting with the performance of the previous financial year. · Measures taken to correct and improve the performance, where it was not satisfactory. The annual performance report must form part of the Municipality’s annual report prepared and handled in terms of Chapter 12 of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003. The MFMA Circular 63: Annual Report Update dated 26 September 2012, provides for the submission of the draft annual report within a period of two (2) months from the end of the financial year in lieu of the annual performance report in terms of section 46 of the Local Government: Municipal System Act, 2000. This draft annual report is prepared with due consideration of the legislator and policy framework mentioned above. It is against this background the 2018/19 Annual Report for Madibeng Local Municipality is compiled and submitted to council for adoption. 6 2018/2019 MADIBENG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY | ANNUAL REPORT CHAPTER 1 – MAYOR’S FOREWORD AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 EXECUTIVE MAYOR’S FOREWORD CLLR J.M MOTHIBE INTRODUCTION I am pleased to present the Municipality’s 2018/19 Annual Report, covering the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. The report provides a measure of our progress in line with the Municipality’s long term strategic roadmap of building a developmental state within our space that is able to adequately respond to the challenges of poverty, unemployment, inequality and under development therein. This Annual Report is being presented just a year after South Africa celebrated the Centenary of the late State President Nelson Mandela and the late Mama Albertina Sisulu. The two gallant giant leaders of our Democratic State were the epitome of what selflessness is all about. They distinguished themselves as credible, diligent and ethical leaders whose sole objective was to serve the People of South Africa and Africa, without any expectations for personal gains and gratification. Furthermore, this Annual Report covers a year during which our Country held National and Provincial elections, and ushered in the 6th Democratic Administration, which developed and approved the 2019 -2024 Medium Term Strategic Framework to guide its work over the next five (5) years. In the current global uncertainty, municipalities operate in a continuously changing and complex environment, and should be able to quickly adapt to both local and global geopolitical emerging dynamics. In this regard, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of the Municipality’s leadership (politically and administratively) in positively advancing the Municipality’s strategic, transformative and developmental imperatives during the year; and to thank them for their commitment in progressively implementing the objectives espoused in our Integrated Development Plan (IDP), Local Economic Development Strategy, and other incidental strategies aimed at positioning the Madibeng as a Prosperous Platinum and Green Tourism City where people can live, work and play. All of these initiatives are happening within the context of a changing and increasingly unpredictable socioeconomic and geopolitical developmental paradigm and environment. In 2018/19, we attained noticeable achievements as part of the Municipality’s drive to create a better life for all its residents.
