R Tambo District Profile • At just over 1 457 384 people, the district has the largest population of all the districts in the Eastern Cape province, and is also the most densely populated region at 120 people/km2 • Between 2001 and 2011, the district’s population grew at an average annual rate of 0.5%, which is above the provincial average of 0.4% • The economically active age groups of 15-64 years account for 55% of the total population, with the remaining 45% made up of those below 15 and above 64 (Dependency rate) 7 ECONOMY The economic state of O. R. Tambo District Municipality is put in perspective by comparing it on a spatial level with its neighbouring district municipalities, Eastern Cape Province and South Africa. The section will also allude to the economic composition and contribution of the local municipalities within O.R.Tambo District Municipality. The O. R Tambo District is predominantly rural based economy with 93% of the population dwelling in rural areas and as such the effects of any shocks in the economy are likely to be felt in the rural areas even more. The COVID-19 induced countrywide lockdown has exposed some faults and gaps within the economy. The retail sector has been affected most in the O. R Tambo District and exposed the unsustainable nature and structure of the sector. 1/9/2021 8 ECONOMY The problems faced by the retail and trade Sector and especially the ones in the O. R Tambo region also offer opportunity for business. The advent of COVID-19 has exposed the need to strengthen the retail sector, change approaches, re- establish other supply chain and logistical avenues. COVID-19 has exposed the unsustainable supply and distribution of food related goods to most spazas, informal traders, and even food parcels procurement and distribution. The few available distribution is owned by large corporations and non South Africans locking out the local businesses. There is a need to change that structural dynamics and introduce local businesses to claim a stake into the retail, food and distribution sector. The informal trade sector (Hawkers, Spazzas & waste harvestors) was also the hardest hit by the pandemic as such realising a critical need for strategic economic recovery and turnaround of the entire economy 1/9/2021 9 O. R Tambo District Profile • 41% of the district population is unemployed. • 15% employed in highly skilled positions, 36% in skilled positions and the remainder in unskilled positions Indicator ORTDM EC SA Population with Matric or higher 12% 18% 28% Not economically active 36% 32% 26% Labour force participation 33% 47% 60% Unemployment rate 41% 33% 27% 10 O.

  • Cles Scholars on the Move
    INTERACTIVE NAVIGATION Editorial Dear Reader, It’s almost surreal that we are already in the third quarter of the year. With less than five months left of 2019, we certainly hope that you have had just as exciting, productive, informative and adventure-filled few months as the CLES-team has had. We are therefore glad to be able to let you in, in the second issue of CLES InPress, on the activities that went down here at CLES. As you will see, the CLES team has been travelling nationally and internationally, adding much value to our research. There have been many developments in the realm of cities, law, and environmental sustainability in the last few months. South Africa recently submitted its first Voluntary National Review (VNR) on its progress in the implementation of Agenda 2030 on Sustainable Development. Significant progress has been made on the implementation “We are excited for of SDG 11 in making the first CLES and cities and human SALGA Annual National settlements inclusive, Postgraduate Student safe, resilient, and sustainable. However, Conference ” the VNR points out that fragmentation remains an issue of concern. The City of Cape Town has been in the news for a variety that they are made up of warm bodies who see to the of reasons, including fighting for a right to purchase effective functioning of duties extending beyond mere power from independent power producers (IPPs) rather service delivery.

  • The Case of the Amathole District Municipality
    SUSTAINED POOR AUDIT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF THE AMATHOLE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY Jacobus S Wessels, Makhosandile H Kwaza and Edwin Ijeoma Sponsored by the European Union under the NSG's Public Service Training & Capacity Building Programme Disclaimer: 'This publication was produced with the financial support of the European Union. Its contents are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union' 1 SUSTAINED POOR AUDIT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF THE AMATHOLE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY Jacobus S Wessels1, Makhosandile H Kwaza2 and Edwin Ijeoma3 ABSTRACT It is generally accepted that reliable financial statements and credible reporting on the activities of government institutions are necessary for the continued improvement of their services to the public. Within the South African context, the Auditor-General of South Africa recently reported that only a few municipalities obtained clean audit reports. In fact, the drive towards clean municipal audit outcomes initiated by the South African government in 2009 evidently failed. Subsequently, this study set out to obtain a deepened understanding of why municipalities repeatedly fail to achieve clean audit outcomes. For this purpose, the Amathole District Municipality and its constituted local municipalities were selected as a case for this study. The reviewed material consisted of a rich collection of audit reports, annual reports, regulatory documents, and a wide variety of other official documents. In addition, the findings of a survey amongst municipal officials and councillors also informed this study. As a result, enduring and deep-rooted systemic leadership deficiencies, financial and performance management restraints, and ineffective and inefficient governance structures were revealed.
