Concurrent, during this year the municipality hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup in which we take pride as our people and our place have changed for the better to benefit the community of Polokwane in the long-term. The review of the IDP is undertaken to continue to address the developmental challenges faced by the community. The process considered that environment within which the municipality exists, all legislative framework and directives that binds local government in South Africa. When scanning the municipal environment within which the Polokwane Municipality is found, the following present the depiction of the area.Polokwane Municipality is a home to approximately 561 770 people and its physical composition is 23% urbanised and 71% still rural. The remaining area (6%) comprises small holdings and institutional, industrial and recreational land. Population growth in Polokwane has been significant. Growth figures from 1996 to 2001 showed that the municipal population increased by 16.39%, which means an annual average population growth rate of 3.27%. Since 2001 to 2007 (Stats S. A Survey 2007) the population has increased from 508 280 to 561 770 at a rate of 1, 7% growth p.a. Much of this growth is ascribed to an influx of people from more rural municipal areas. The unemployed move into Polokwane where the perception of more employment and greater economic wealth exists. Dominated by the tertiary sector and government sector, the municipality has generally unskilled population and the general population income is concentrated in the lower income level. In an endeavor to improve the provision of basic services, the municipal basic services backlogs has decreased .Out of the 191 villages ,the municipal water backlog of villages receiving water below RDP standard are 29 and 6 without water infrastructure (new settlements extending existing settlements) .The electricity backlog stands at 19 000 households and there is a continuous increase in the number of households with the need of houses. All of the above illustrate the need to undertake strategic planning and identify issues that might compromise the municipality to realise developmental local government goals. The situational, SWOT analysis , community participation processes and the Local Government Turn Around Strategy provided the municipality an opportunity to take a hard look at the developmental strategies to address the development challenges faced by the Polokwane municipality community to improve their lives for the better. 3 SWOT ANALYSIS AND MUNICIPAL ISSUES The SWOT analysis allowed the municipality to respond to the environment it operates within and to address development and governance issues identified through the consultation process. Identified Municipal issues from the SWOT analysis are: The municipality is currently experiencing rapid population growth and backlogs to meet the millennium development goals and government targets of 2014.These issues require the municipality to develop strategies that promote integrated human settlements and build robust local economy that consider seriously sustainable development principles and empower communities to get involved in municipal activities. There is limited resources and inadequate tax base to enable the municipality to provide adequate services to the communities. Due to spatial fragmentation and disparities the capital outlays constrain the municipality to provide and maintain infrastructure. Monitoring and evaluation of performance is limited as the system is not integrated and aligned to enable the municipality to deliver efficient and effective services to the communities. The illustration of municipal issues enabled the municipality to set goals to ultimately arrive at the vision of the municipality. The goals that the municipality has set to address strategic issues are: Eradicate poverty and underdevelopment Accelerate access to services Grow an inclusive and robust local economy Empower communities to take charge of municipal activities Increase employee and municipal capacity for better performance Improve environmental sustainability 4 The developed strategy is progressively geared towards achieving the National 2014 Vision, NSDP, Limpopo Employment Growth and Development Strategy; both the State of the Nation, Provincial addresses, implementing the Local Government Turnaround Strategy and other government directives. Aimed at delivering services the municipality will continue to: construct reservoirs ,bulk line reticulation aiming at providing undisrupted water services to the communities; Provide
