It is 6227.9480 square meters in size with a total population of 52 605: Community Survey 2007 (72 000: STAT Census 2001), see MAP: 1 . It is strategically located, with the N1 passing through, connecting the Southern neighbouring province, of Gauteng to the North the province of Limpopo. It shares borders with all local municipalities within the Waterberg District Municipality. The municipality is also located at a strategic position at the intersection of two provincial roads, R33 (connecting the East to West) and R101 (connecting the South to the North). This provides a business development opportunity of developing and marketing Modimolle as a distribution point to support vast growing development in Lephalale and Polokwane. Modimolle town in particular is equal distance from two 3 Modimolle local Municipality IDP 2009/10 developed cities, Polokwane and Pretoria, and provides a cost reduction benefit in logistic should Provincial and regional offices located in Modimolle. See Map: 2 Map 1: Modimolle Local Municipality (NP365) Source: Municipal Demarcation Board The municipality is predominantly rural in nature, with vast areas of land either under cultivation or being utilised for game farming purposes. The area is characterised by a number of prominent rivers, such as Mokolo river, which dominates the landscape. It is characterised by settlement patterns of Townships, farms and informal settlements. The areas are Modimolle/phahameng which is as a growth nodal point, Vaalwater (Mabatlane) and Alma (Mabaleng) as a service points. The new demarcation has excluded 76520044, 76520055 registration & voting stations and Elandsfontein 427kr. 4 Modimolle local Municipality IDP 2009/10 Modimolle Local Municipality is a water service authority and provides bulk water and electricity to its community. It is also responsible for the construction and maintenance of local roads and storm water drainage, collection of solid waste, maintenance of municipal facilities and provides local economic development support to its communities. A SWOT analysis has been conducted, through the IDP review process, the development of Spatial Development Framework (SDF), the desk-stop study, internal one-on-one interviews with managers and the Local Economic Development (LED) strategy; and outlines as follows: Strength Tourism which is mainly game farming, game hunting, lodges (accommodation) Agriculture: The environmental analysis indicates that natural resources (type of soil, climate, amount of rain and available underground water) provides an agricultural potential. Administrative hub: demand for accommodation for rental is growing due to growth of the administrative sector. Strategically located along the N1 and at the intersection of R33 and R101. Weaknesses Unavailability of skills to match economic comparative sectors Though the municipality is strategically located, there is poor marketing of the town from the N1. No Marketing strategy to encourage and support business development and investment. Lack of institutional capacity. There is no planning Unit; planning functions are being shared between IDP, Technical Services and Corporate services, which make it challenging to coordinate those functions. 5 Modimolle local Municipality IDP 2009/10 Poor tax base: A larger percentage of our community register as indigents are receiving free basic services. There is lack of implementation of the debt and credit collection policies. Most of the land is privately owned. Lack of adequate water especially in Mabatlane. A few farms that have been declared to have streams with sufficient water are privately owned and their prices are exorbitant. Opportunities Retail sector not being utilised to its full potential Good Road Network system. Threats Land invasion: People that are displaced from farms usually occupy public open spaces, especially in phahameng, which contributes to Infrastructure and housing backlog. Conversion of privately owned land from agricultural land to game farming. Lack of land use management strategies and policies. This threatens the growth of the town and agricultural growth, especially subsistence farming. Subsistence farming is another way of reducing pressure on poverty stricken families. Lack of water, especially in Vaalwater(Mabatlane) poses a health risk High water table in Alma (Mabaleng) development: Due to the unavailability of sanitation infrastructure poses a health hazard through of contamination of underground water. Municipal land available for development is sandy, which makes development expensive. 6 Modimolle local Municipality IDP 2009/10 1.3DEMOGRAPHICS 1.3.1 POPULATION Figure A: POPULATION Modimolle population community survey 2007 60000 50000 40000 30000 Series1 20000 10000 0 Black Coloured Indian or White Grand Asian Total Source: Community Survey 2007 Modimolle local municipality has a total population of 52 605 of which 43304 are black, 8554 are white, 481 are Indian and 264 are coloured. 25 882 are woman and 26 717 are men. 1.3.2 YOUTH PER GENDER AND AGE TABLE 1: YOUTH PER GENDER AND AGE Age Male Female Grand Total 16 428 496 924 17 431 809 1241 18 383 624 1007 19 423 476 899 20 427 443 870 21 485 532 1016 22 611 517 1129 23 875 560 1435 24 630 434 1064 25 526 432 958 26 456 338 794 27 478 589 1067 28 562 406 968 29 584 468 1052 30 515 372 888 31 615 348 963 32 512 524 1036 7 Modimolle local Municipality IDP 2009/10 TABLE 1: YOUTH PER GENDER AND AGE, cont.
