    CHAPTER ONE 1.1 the PLANNING PROCESS in Terms of Section 24(1)

    CHAPTER ONE 1.1 THE PLANNING PROCESS In terms of section 24(1) and (2) of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act (No 32 of 2000) municipalities should comply with the following key planning imperatives at all times, namely: . “The planning undertaken by a municipality must be aligned with, and complement, the development plans and strategies of other affected municipalities and other organs of state so as to give effect to the principles of co-operative government contained in the Constitution. Municipalities must participate in national and provincial development programmes as required in section 153 (b) of the Constitution.” In addition to the above, regulation 2 (1) (d) of the Local Government Municipal Planning and Performance Regulations, 2001 stipulates that the municipality’s Integrated Development Plan must at least identify “all known projects, plans and programs to be implemented within the municipality by any organ of state.” The above are clearly the key planning basis for Ndlambe Municipality in the development and review of its IDP. This is a progressive planning rationale and it has been entrenched into a ‘simple’ legislative framework to ensure consistence and an enhanced quality of the IDP. The principle of co-operative governance underpins this development planning rationale. Co-operative governance is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa as a practice for maximum benefit. This chapter seeks to identify those elements of convergence between the different plans, projects and programmes within the District, Provincial and National levels. 1.1.1 National Policy Directive – Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF): In July 2009 the Minister of Planning formulated and distributed a Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) to guide Government Programs in the Electoral Mandate Period between 2009 and 2014.

  • Xenophobia � Outsider Exclusion Addressing Frail Social Cohesion in South Africa's Diverse Communi�Es

    Xenophobia Outsider Exclusion Addressing Frail Social Cohesion in South Africa's Diverse CommuniEs

    Xenophobia Outsider Exclusion Addressing Frail Social Cohesion in South Africa's Diverse Communies Grahamstown Case Study October 2017 I. Executive Summary Grahamstown is physically divided along socioeconomic and racial lines in that residents of Grahamstown East are relatively poor whereas those who live Grahamstown West are relatively well off. Grahamstown does not have a history of xenophobic violence, and as a result, its residents were shocked at the collective violence against foreign nationals in October 2015. After the incident, community members cited the shortcomings of local leadership to act, and to some extent police capacity. The SAPS had been unable to dispel rumours that implicated foreign nationals in murder, which gave room for people with personal motives to manipulate a misinformed and fearful community into collective violence against foreign nationals. Young males, who lack employment opportunities and other meaningful activities, were identified by many as the perpetrators of such violence. While there is clearly a strong desire in the community of Grahamstown to have foreign nationals present, it seems that this is at least in part motivated by economic benefit. In this community, foreign nationals own spaza shops and often provide locals with groceries on credit. Despite these ‘business relations’, the findings suggest that there is no conscious effort from local community members and authorities to make foreign nationals part of the community at a deeper level, and as such foreign nationals tend to be excluded and exclude themselves from many community activities and processes. The current existing narrative in relation to service delivery and social ills in Grahamstown is that government, in its many spheres, has failed the community.

The sustainability of such initiatives will therefore depend very much on how successfully risks associated with these hazards can be managed.
