Various plans and strategies have been developed by the municipality during our Strategic Session to enhance service delivery in response to the directive and mandate of the Ruling Party. The municipality is aiming to improving its financial viability and put in place mechanisms for the recording and management of the financial resources of the Municipality and investigation and development of new revenue streams to provide for the financial sustainability of the council. We had a very successful Local Economic Development Summit in April and the business sector has shown a positive partnership with the Municipality. In addressing the water challenges in Chief Albert Luthuli, we call all sector departments and business the community to put hands together and avail the resources so that we could address this need for improved basic services. Although 2012 has been the year for celebration, because the ruling party celebrated its centenary, we could not proudly celebrate while most of our communities are still living in poverty. The President in his State of the Nation Address has appealed to all our people to join hands and deal decisively with the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality. He indicated that “Nobody will do this for us, it is in our hands. And we are all equal to the task’’, as Chief Albert Luthuli we should ensure that we rally around this objective with all partners to reduce unemployment. The year 2012 and beyond, is planned for the massive infrastructure development drive. We have allocated a total of R97 million for infrastructure development from various infrastructure grants as well as from our own fund. We will continue to extend the access to basic water supply to our residents within Chief Albert Luthuli municipality. However, it is clear that access to water is still a challenge in some areas; the problem we experienced in Caroline, where our water supply has been declared unsafe for human consumption, due to the high acid chemicals from the mines, was a step backwards, we are working day and night to ensure that we clean our water to meet to DWA’s quality standard. Our people are thirsty for portable water. An amount of R35, 357 million from various sources have been allocated to replace AC Pipes in several areas such as Silobela ext 1 and Eerstehoek Water Scheme , upgrading of the water pumping capacity and retrofitting of schemes, and improvement on reticulation, etcetera . During the IDP/Budget consultation process some wards/ community members have agreed with the municipality that the tariffs proposed on electricity and other services were fair, but not all community members agree , some were asking the municipality to reduce the increases to 1%, and as council we acknowledge that the increase on petrol had resulted in increases on food and other basic needs, but we still have the responsibility to ensure that the municipality is sustainable and is able to maintain its infrastructure to deliver uninterrupted services. Chief Albert Luthuli IDP 2011/2016 Page 9 The challenge for the municipality is to do more within its existing resources by reprioritizing money from low-priority programmes to high-priority programmes. Municipalities play a critical role in furthering government objective of providing services to all while facilitating local economic development. Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality ought to focus on maximizing its contribution to job creation, given the current constraints some very tough decisions in the course of considering the 2012/2013 budgets and Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework (MTREF) were taken. Priority must be given to: . Ensuring that service delivery and capital projects use labour intensive methods wherever appropriate . Ensuring labour intensive LED projects . Participating fully in the Extended Public Works Programme . Implementing interns programmes to provide young people with on the job training It is important that the financial position of the municipality remains sustainable over the medium term facing the current constraints and therefore, special attention must be given to eliminating all unnecessary spending on nice-to-have items and non-essential activities. In terms of the Division of Revenue Bill the equitable share increases to R153,1-million for the 2012/2013 financial year and is projected to increase to R163,8-million in the 2013/2014 and projected to further increase to R176,1-million in the 2014/2015 financial year. Capital transfers increase to R77,2- million and are projected to increase to R88,5-million in the 2014/2015 financial year. With your support and understanding we believe that most of the challenges can be overcome. Together we can do more, better. ________________ CLR. B.P SHIBA EXECUTIVE MAYOR Chief Albert Luthuli IDP 2011/2016 Page 10 MUNICIPAL MANAGER This Integrated Development Plan (IDP) comes at a critical time when the municipality is facing huge service delivery challenges, especially with regards to water supply. The water quality crisis that has resulted in the water in Carolina/Silobela/Caropark and surroundings not meeting the basic consumption standards is a case in point. There are also serious challenges in meeting the water supply demands in the Eerstehoek supply area, especially Nhlazatshe.
