DECEMBER 2010 NEWSLETTER AMATHOLE DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR, ALDERMAN SAKHUMZI SOMYO

During the past year, the drought that has affected the Eastern Cape and our district in particular, water sources for the whole district intensified to the extent that we found ourselves having to cart water to a number of towns and so that we drill boreholes where villages. Thus far since the advent of the drought when Adelaide and Bedford ran out completely there is good potential and test these of water in December 2008, we have spent in excess of R35 million of ADM funding to ensure in order that they are ready for use provision of alternative sources of water for drought-affected communities. whenever needed. 4. Term tenders for drilling companies In July 2009 the district, along with other district municipalities within the Eastern Cape was declared were awarded to start drilling the a drought disaster area. Water restrictions were implemented across the whole district as of 1 moment enough sites were marked May 2010. Shortly after the disaster declaration, a Joint Operations Committee was established for drilling and we have a good with representation from various stakeholders within the district and a business plan was submitted understanding of their potential for funding in the amount of R156 million. To date the ADM has received some R12,4 million yields. from National Treasury. Hence carting of water became unsustainable and the ADM was forced to 5.

CDEC, a local engineering company, filling up the dams and hence we were able to lift the water restrictions in the towns of Chintsa, has been appointed to explore Kei Mouth, Morgan’s Bay and Haga Haga. We anticipate that this will be a short reprieve as the the distribution of water along the dams in these areas are not very big and would struggle to cope with water demands during the coastal belt where we would most next dry period, thus we still encourage consumers to conserve water in these areas as much as probably use sea water extraction as ALDERMAN SAKHUMZI SOMYO possible. However, the inland areas remain water-distressed and the ADM continues carting water the main source of bulk water – to be to these areas. specified and designed by SSI. 7. We are in the process of appointing other local engineering companies for each area to The ADM took a bold decision in September 2010 to dig deep into its financial reserves to set aside design and implement the distribution of water once SSI has designed the water reuse/ funding of R78.5 million to implement its adopted Drought Intervention Plan which is designed to recycling part of the projects. In terms of ADM’s procurement policies and its drive aggressively mitigate the district-wide drought. This plan provides for a completely new strategy towards appointing emerging companies, our approach will be that each established of progressively exploring and developing new sources of bulk water which will provide a basket local company must list an emerging company they will work with, so that there is of options that will render ADM less rain-dependent including: sharing of knowledge and expertise.

A high level Performance Agreement and a fully detailed and negotiated Delivery KEY ISSUES AND CONCERNS Agreement is expected to be developed by each national Minister/ Department with key The President has noted a number of times that we cannot continue to do the same things in the same role-players applicable to that department to way and expect different results. We must carefully work through what needs to be achieved and deliver these outputs. the best ways of doing this with the resources available. Thus the Presidency has requested National The strategic objective of the outcomes based Treasury to align the outcomes and strategic plans so that departments produce revised strategic plans approach is to improve service delivery across in 2011 in line with the revised strategic planning guidelines. It is also envisioned that the outcomes are all government departments and introduce included in guidelines for administrative performance agreements. a more systematic planning and monitoring and evaluation focus across all spheres There are a number of concerns inherent in the outcomes based approach and Delivery Agreements. of government with concise activities and The latest development comes after the Local Goverment Turnaround Strategies (LGTAS), or Municipal VUYO MLOKOTI measurable indicators at activity, output and Turnaround Strategies (MUTAS) as they are called in the Eastern Cape Province, was introduced by outcome level. CoGTA to improve service delivery in local government by garnering support for municipalities from private companies, civil society, state owned enterprises and the other two spheres of government. All In many platforms where this subject has been presented we have been made to understand that municipalities were required, as part of the LGTAS, to develop their own municipal specific turnaround delivery agreements are not performance agreements. strategies and incorporate those commitments into their 2010/11 IDP and Budgets. Two key concerns should be noted in this respect. First, little follow through has been seen on the commitments made “lt is an agreement between all the key stakeholders who need to work together in order for an in the LGTAS, particularly that CoGTA will ensure that sector departments (provincial and national) outcome to be achieved” (Minister Collins Chabane: Executive Council Lekgotla; 08/09 Feb 2010 participate and are active partners in the IDP process of municipalities. Municipalities reported that in PE). The delivery agreement must essentially clarify the problem, identify what needs to be done sector departments still did not participate in the latest IDP process (for 2010/11) and CoGTA did little to address it and identify the resources needed for the problem to be addressed. to ensure that this took place, contrary to the LGTAS commitments. Indeed, a number of structures that were supposed to be set up by CoGTA as part of the short term interventions (which end soon) have IMPLEMENTATION FORUMS not been established.

The Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) convened the first Political In fact, very few if any of the short term commitments have materialised. In particular, the legislative Implementation Forum for Delivery Agreement on Outcome 9 on 4 June 2010. The forum was amendments proposed by CoGTA which, in its opinion, were meant to address the shortcomings lifted intended to deliberate on the delivery agreement towards the achievement of the outcome, in the LGTAS, are problematic in many respects. Most of these legislative amendments encroach on essentially a breakdown of the outputs and activities required to achieve the outcome. The meeting the institutional integrity of local government. The recently adopted Municipal Property Rates Ratios was told that this delivery agreement is contained in the Minister’s Performance Agreement Regulations (despite SALGA‘s opposition) for example is currently having a serious impact on the concluded with the President. On 23 June 2010, a technical Implementation Forum meeting was finances of municipalities, resulting in huge financial losses for municipalities contrary to the promises convened for CoGTA to present the updated Delivery Agreement based on the deliberations held of the LGTAS. Local government was, through legislative amendments, supposed to be supported to during the Political Implementation Forum on 4 June 2010 and to discuss and receive inputs on enhance its revenue raising ability and institutional integrity. Another case in point is the Municipal the draft Delivery Agreement for outcome 9. Systems Amendment Bill. Many more examples can be listed but the concern is that the CoGTA is going against its own proposals and commitments in its policy and legislative approach, whilst not playing its A further aim was also to agree on the approach towards signing off the Delivery Agreement role as the ‘conductor’ of the government choir in forging the cooperation and support of the other two at the Political Implementation Forum. This process was not agreed upon by municipalities. A spheres and the sector departments to local government. progress report (rather than Delivery Agreements) was presented to the July Cabinet Lekgotla for most outcomes. Departments would then take some time to incorporate the Lekgotla inputs and Secondly, if municipalities have adopted (through incorporation) their own turnaround strategies, finalise the Delivery Agreements. why would it be necessary for Mayors/Municipal Managers to sign performance agreements with the MECs or Minister? The essence of local government’s commitment to the improvement of the sector is STEPS TAKEN TOWARDS FINALISATION OF DELIVERY captured in the LGTAS and municipal specific turnaround strategies. In any event, the IDP and Budget are legal instruments which compel the Council to deliver on those commitments. AGREEMENTS IN GENERAL AND OUTCOME 9 The focus of the Delivery Agreement should be on those sectors and external stakeholders who can All outcome Implementation Forums are operational, for all 12 outcomes, and work is being done to contribute to the achievement of the outcome and outputs and solicit their support for local government finalise the draft delivery agreements. Outcome 9 commits the Minister of Cooperative Governance in our quest to turnaround the fortunes of this sphere. A further complication which has to be and Traditional Affairs to develop a local government system which is efficient, effective, responsive and considered is that post elections in 2011, new councillors, mayors and municipal managers are likely to accountable. This outcome forms the basis of the CoGTA Minister’s performance agreement (PA) which be appointed. It would not be practical to bind a municipality, mayor or municipal manager to targets is to be cascaded through local government MECs and Mayors as well as the signing of performance and outputs which they will have no time to implement. The proposal here is that it needs to be clarified agreements within CoGTA between the CoGTA Minister and the Directors-General of both Cooperative how the process and commitments of CoGTA on how it will ensure that the Delivery Agreements of the Governance and Traditional Affairs departments. It is envisaged that the same process will also be other 11 outcomes (where applicable to delivery in a municipal space) find expression in the Integrated replicated in the provinces between local government MECs and the provincial heads of departments Development Planning process, so that spatial investment foot-printing / resource expenditure of and in local government between mayors and municipal managers. national and provincial sector departments are clearly illustrated in any given municipal space. The third term of democratic local government should come into a settled integrated governance approach that The (CoGTA) draft Delivery Agreement for Outcome 9 has been completed and was tabled for adoption has been fully thrashed out at national, provincial and municipal level with regard to how government by the Political Implementation Forum held on 8 July 2010. as a whole is going to deliver on its mandate in an integrated manner.

OUTCOMES, OUTPUTS AND PROGRAMMES Of some concern is the indication by the Presidency that the Delivery Agreements are not performance agreements, but should be seen more as charters or a pact between those in the sector, on how The Ministry for CoGTA has developed 7 outputs as they have been agreed upon between the Minister to work towards the delivery of the outcomes and outputs. In this regard, one of the key concerns and President. These are: consistently noted in the Policy Review Process and proposed Green Paper on Cooperative Governance, • Implementation of the differentiated approach to municipal financing, planning and is the voluntary nature of our intergovernmental system, resulting in failure to harness an integrated support; approach to governance or compel sector departments to participate in the IDP process, amongst • Improving access to basic services; · others. • Implementation of the Community Work Programme; • Action supportive to human settlement outcomes; The approach of this government was said to be “doing things differently”, yet we have retained the • Deepen democracy through a refined ward committee model; element of voluntarism which proved to be the governments Achilles heel to date.

The introduction of the SPV’s is reminiscent of programmes. CoGTA must step up and assume the role of its new mandate as envisioned by pulling the period when the municipal infrastructure was channelled through Consolidated Municipal together the Delivery Agreements of all the other sectors to support local government and facilitating a Infrastructure Programme (CMIP’s) which was implemented before the dawn of the Municipal more coherent approach to integrated service delivery at the municipal level. Finance Management Act (MFMA). During that period provinces had much more authority. They received the total provincial funding allocation and split it up per district municipality (DM) and SPECIAL PURPOSE VEHICLES (SPV’s) local municipality (LMs); they approved appointments of DMs and LMs for the procurement of consultants and contractors; they approved the designs and technical reports; they approved and CoGTA advances the argument that it is necessary to establish a special purpose vehicle (SPV) made payments on invoices received – they were a “big and central Project Management Unit for municipal infrastructure to assist in mobilizing private sector infrastructure funding for (PMU) office”. municipalities and to support in the planning and expenditure of CAPEX (capital expenditure) and OPEX (operational expenditure) in municipalities. They are also looking at obtaining Cabinet When the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) arrived, municipalities were encouraged to establish approval, by March 2011, for the establishment of these SPV’s. their own PMU offices to take care of procurement, provisional approval of designs [still to be sent to province and national for final approvals], finances, technical and site visits etc. The down side Firstly it’s worth noting that the Municipal Systems Act already makes provision for the establishment is the three stage approvals instead of only two during the CMIP days – now much longer time is of multi-jurisdictional service districts by municipalities. Through these centres, municipalities are needed to approve anything. On the positive side we saw more financial and technical capacity at allowed to voluntarily have shared service centres for a variety of functions and services, including local level, and especially at district level. infrastructure development. Interestingly both national and provincial government “CoGTAs” have in the last ten years never demonstrated any commitment to assist local government to realize the It is my well considered view that the introduction of the SPV is tantamount to the re-introduction potential benefits of these shared service centres. Secondly there appears to be no relationship of CMIP and that cannot be accepted as it clearly borders on undermining the constitutional drawn between municipalities under serious distress and the SPV’s. It is my view that the so called autonomy and authority of local government. SPV’s should indeed be ‘vehicles’ to give effect to the application of section 139 of the Constitution. The deduction one makes from these SPV’s is that they would be wall-to-wall. Thirdly there By Mr Vuyo Mlokoti, Municipal Manager

Into anokuyigqiba ubani ngeziSPV’s kukuba zakuba ludonga nodonga. Okwesithathu lamanqaku ukuqalisa umsebenzi wayo ngenkqubo ye-IDP ayinakwenza oko. Oku ngokubanzi kukhangeleka kukho umzamo ocacileyo noxokeleleneyo osingela phantsi ukuzimela ngokomgaqo- kuphawuleka okokuba kokunye bobuthathaka obuphambili bolu hlobo lolawulo olumanyeneyo. ICoGTA siseko (igunya lolawulo nowiso-mthetho) korhulumente wasekhaya. mayiqinisekise ukuba ezo mbophelelo zamaSebe ahlukileyo ukuba afumana indlela yawo kwinkqubo ye-IDP kwaye amaSebe anyanzeliswe ukuba kwiinkqubo zawo zokucwangcisa ezifana neMTECs ukuba Ukuqaliswa kwezi SPV’s kukhumbuza ithuba xa iziko elikhoyo (infrastructure) likaMasipala lalidluliswa abandakanya ooMasipala abachatshazelwa ziinkqubo zawo. ICoGTA mayiphakame ukuze ithathe ngeCMIP’s eyamiliselwa nje phambi kokuba kuqaliswe umthetho olawula imali kaMasipala (MFMA). indawo yayo ebonakala kwigunya layo elitsha ngokuqukanisa iimvisiswano zonikezelo zawo onke Ngelo thuba amaphondo ayenegunya ngokugqithisileyo. Ayefumana imali-nkxaso yephondo ethe amanye amacandelo ukuxhasa urhulumente wasekhaya kwanokuququzelela ukwenza okuhlangeneyo vetshe ukuze ayahlule ngokwakuMasipala wesithili (DM) noMasipala wengingqi (LMs); ayephumeza kwisixokelelwano sokunikezelwa kweenkonzo kwinqanaba likaMasipala. ulunyulo lweDMs neeLMs ukufumana abacebisi neekontrakta ; ayephumeza izicwangciso neengxelo zobuchule; ayephumeza enze iintlawulo kuluhlu lwezinto ezithengiweyo namaxabiso azo ezifunyenweyo IINDLELA ZENJONGO EYEYODWA (SPV’s) – ayemakhulu eyi-ofisi eyiprojekthi elawula i-unithi (PMU). Kuthe kwakufika isibonelelo seziko elikhoyo likaMasipala (Municipal Infrastructure Grant) (MIG) ooMasipala bakhuthazwa ukuba baseke ii-ofisi zePMU zabo ukuze bathathele ingqalelo ukufumana, ukuvunywa kwethutyana kwezicwangciso (eziseza ICoGTA izisa ingxoxo yokuba kufanelekile ukuba kusekwe indlela yenjongo eyeyodwa yokwenza izinto kuthunyelwa kwiphondo nakuzwelonke ukufumana uphunyezo olugqityiweyo nelelokugqibela) (SPV) kumaziko akhoyo kaMasipala ukunceda ukuhlanganisa amaziko akhoyo ecandelo labucala kwezemali, ezobugcisa nokutyelelwa kwesiza njalo-njalo. Oko kukhokelele kwizigaba ezithathu axhasa ngemali ooMasipala kwanokuxhasa ekucwangciseni nasenkcithweni yeCAPEX (inkcitho- zokuphunyezwa endaweni yezibini kuphela ezazikho ngemihla yeCMIP – ngoku lide ixesha elifunekayo mali) ne-OPEX (nkcitho-msebenzi) kooMasipala. Bakwajonge ukufumana imvume yeKhabhinethi ukulinda kokuphunyezwa kwayo nayiphi na into. Kwicala elihle sibona ukukhula okukhulu kombilini ngoMatshi 2011 ukuba bakwazi ukuseka eziSPV’s. Okokuqala kulixabiso ukuphawula ukuba umthetho wemali nobugcisa kwinqanaba lengingqi ingakumbi kwinqanaba lesithili. wezixokelelwano kaMasipala sele kade usenza umphako wokuba kusekwe izithili zeenkonzo ezininzi ezisemthethweni ngooMasipala. Ngala maziko ooMasipala bavumelekile ngokuzithandela ukuba Kuyimbono yam eqwalaselwe kakuhle ukuba ukuqaliswa kweSPV kulingana nokuqaliswa kwakhona babenamaziko okwabelana ngeenkonzo ngemisebenzi kwaneenkonzo kubandakanywa ukuphuhliswa kweCMIP kwaye oko akunakwamkeleka njengokuba kucace mhlophe ukuba kundanda kwimida kwamaziko akhoyo. Okungumdla kubo bobabini oorhulumente okazwelonke nowephondo iCoGTAs yokusingela phantsi ilungelo lomgaqo-siseko wokuzimela nokuba negunya korhulumente wasekhaya. zange kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo ibonakalise imbophelelo ukuba incede urhulumente wasekhaya ukuba azi ubukho benzuzo kula maziko okwabelana ngeenkonzo. Okwesibini kukhangeleka bungekho ubudlelwane obufumaneka phakathi kooMasipala phantsi kolu xinzelelo luqatha neziSPV’s. Yimbono yam ukuba iSPV’s kufuneka eneneni ibezindlela eziza kunika ukuthabatheka ekusebenzeni kwecandelo 139 NguMnu. Vuyo Mlokoti, uManejala kaMasipala

Ekupheleni konyaka ophelileyo imbalela ihlasele iMpuma-Kapa nangakumbi isithili sethu, yazingisa ekwakheni ingxelo ebalulekileyo yazo kangangokuba sazifumana thina kunyanzelekile ukuba senze imiqathango eliqela yokusetyenziswa zonke iindawo ekunokufumaneka kuzo kwamanzi kwiqela leedolophu neelali. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kususela ukufika kwembalela, i-Adelaide amanzi phantsi komhlaba kwisithili neBedford yaphelelwa tu ngamanzi ngoDisemba 2008, sichithe kugqithiso setyenziso-mali amaR35M siphela ukuze sibhole imingxuma kwingxowa ye-ADM ukuqinisekisa ubonelelo ngeemvaba zamanzi ezizezinye kuluntu oluchatshazelwe yezitsala-manzi apho kukho ithuba yimbalela. NgoJulayi 2009 isithili kwakunye nabanye oomasipala besithili kwiMpuma-Kapa sabhengezwa elihle, ze ivavanywe ukuze ihlale njengendawo yentlekele yembalela. Imiqathango yokusetyenziswa kwamanzi yamiliselwa jikelele ilungele ukusetyenziswa xa oko kwisithili sonke ukususela kumhla wokuqala kuMeyi 2010. Nje emva kobhengezo ntlekelo, ikomiti kuyimfuneko. ehlangeneyo yeenkqubo (Joint Operations Committee)yasekwa inomelo olusuka kubanini-nxaxheba 4. Iziniki-xabiso zomsebenzi abohlukileyo apha kwisithili kwaze kwangeniswa isicwangciso soshishino senkxaso-mali esixabisa ofun’ukwenziwa zexesha elimisiweyo iR156M. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku i-ADM ifumene ubuncikane obuliR12,4M kuvimba kazwelonke. Kungoko zinikwe iinkampani ezibholayo ukuze ke ukuthintela ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi kungakwazanga ukugcinwa kwaza oko kwanyanzela i-ADM ziqale ukubhola kwiziza eziliqela ukuba imilisele izintlu zamaxabiso embalela ezingama-25% konke nje ukuqalela ngomhla wokuqala ezikhethelwe ukubholwa kwaye ku-Oktobha 2010. siqonda kakuhle ngokubanakho kwazo ukunika imveliso. Iimvula ekupheleni ku-Oktobha nakuNovemba kulo nyaka zibe sisiqabu esamkelekileyo kwimimandla 5. Iinkampani zokuvavanya ukumpompa yethu egudle unxweme, zizalisa amadama, kungoko ke sikwazile ukurhoxisa imiqathango yokusetyenziswa nazo zichongiwe zafumana isiniki- kwamanzi kwidolophu yaseChintsa, eKei Mouth, eMorgan’s Bay naseHaga Haga. Silindele ukuba oku xabiso somsebenzi ofun’ukwenziwa kuza kuba lithuba elifutshane lokuphumla ebunzimeni kuba amadama kwezi ngingqi akamakhulu sexesha elimisiweyo ukuvavanya kangako kwaye aza kusokola ukumelana neemfuno zamanzi ngethuba elomileyo kwixesha elilandelayo, ngempumelelo imingxuma yezitsala- kungoko ke sithe rhoqo ukukhuthaza abantu ukuba bawalondoloze amanzi kwezi ngingqi kangangoko. manzi ebholiweyo. ALDERMAN SAKHUMZI SOMYO Nokuba kunjalo, iingingqi ezisembindini zisekuxinzelelo lokunqaba kwamanzi kungoko i-ADM isaqhuba 6. Inkampani yenjineli yengingqi iCDEC ngemiqathango yokusetyenziswa kwamanzi kwezi ngingqi. ichongelwe ukuphicotha ukunikezelwa kwamanzi kungqameko lonxweme apho sinokusebenzisa amanzi afunyanwa elwandle I-ADM yathatha isigqibo esingqongqo kuSeptemba 2010 ukuba ingene nzulu kwiimali ezigcinileyo njengeyona mvaba iphambili yomthamo wamanzi – eza kukhethwa icwangciswe yiSSI. ibeke bucala inkxaso-mali engamaR78.5M ukumilisela isicwangciso songenelelo kwimbalela (Drought 7. Sikwiphulo lokuchonga ezinye iinkampani zenjineli zengingqi ukujongana nendawo enye Intervention Plan) esiphunyezwe samkelwa esilungiselelwe ukuhlasela sithomalalise imbalela kwisithili ukucwangcisa nokumilisela ukunikezelwa kwamanzi nje ukuba iSSI igqibe ukucwangcisa ngokuphangaleleyo. Esi sicwangciso sinika ubuchule bokulwa obutsha obugqibeleleyo obubhekisa ukusetyenziswa kwakhona kwamanzi/ukujikeleziswa njengengxe-nye yeeprojekthi. phambili ukuphicotha nokuphuhlisa iimvaba ezintsha zomthamo wamanzi eziza kunikezela ngebhaskiti Ngokwakwiinkqubo zokufumana ze-ADM nenkqubo ephathelele ekuchongweni yeendlela ezinokukhethwa eziza kwenza i-ADM ixhomekeke kancinane kwimvula ezibandakanya ezi: kweenkampani ezikhulayo singathanda ukuba inkampani nganye yengingqi esele imile mayibhalise kuluhlu lwayo inkampani ekhulayo eza kusebenza nayo ukuze kubekho • Inkqubo yophicotho lwamanzi aphantsi komhlaba kwisithili ngokuphangaleleyo; ukwabelana ngolwazi kwanobugcisa. • Ukusetyenziswa kwakhona kwanokujikeleziswa kwamanzi ukutweza ixabiso lwamanzi ngakumbi; Nangona sifumene imvula entle kwimimandla yonxweme yesithili, i-ADM ayizokusiyeka isicwangciso • Ukukhetha ukususa ityuwa kumanzi omngxuma wesitsala-manzi nakulawo afumaneka ngqo sayo somphako wokususa ityuwa emanzini anayo. Ukucwangcisa kusoloko kuthatha ixesha elininzi kunxweme lolwandle. njengoko kufuneka kananjalo senze uphando lwe-EIA ukufumana ingxelo yesigqibo seprojekthi enokuthatha ithuba elinokufikelela kwiinyanga ezilishumi elinesibhozo, kungoko ke iyimfuno yethu Umanejala kaMasipala, uMnu. Vuyo Mlokoti uchonge iqela lentshukumo kwimbalela (Drought Action ukulandela inkqubo yokususa ityuwa emanzini.
