1. BACKGROUND

All municipalities are required to undertake IDP Reviews on annual basis. In terms of section 34 of the Local Government : Municipal Systems Act ( Act No. 32 of 2000), “ a municipal council must review in accordance its Integrated development plan – (i) annually in accordance with an assessment of its performance measurements in terms of section 41; and (ii) to the extent that changing circumstances so demand; and

may amend its IDP in accordance with a prescribed process plan.

The basic mandates and requirements for the 2006/2007 IDP Review are as follows:

(a) Alignment of the budget and PMS to the IDP (b) Incorporation of the MEC’s comments (c) Inclusion of the required Sector Plans (d) Inclusion of the weaknesses and shortcomings identified through the self-assessment

2. THE KEY PRIORITY ISSUES

Based on the 2005/2006 IDP Situational Analysis, the following issues were prioritised as major concern to the Indaka Development

2.1 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE DELIVERY

With the exception of the Limehill Complex and Ekuvukeni, in the North eastern part of Indaka, the geographical topography of the other remaining areas of the municipality contributes negatively to the distribution of infrastructure and settlement patterns.

However, over the past few years, Indaka municipality with the support of uThukela DM has engage itself in a radical water and sanitation service delivery to these remaining areas. As part of this IDP Review, Indaka has to engage the sector departments and service providers to such as uThukela DM to provide their Sector Plans and MTEF budgets for the next financial years.

2.1.1 SPATIAL FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT

This issue was prioritised both in 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 Indaka IDP Review. The clear spatial framework is required to provide existing levels of economic development and assist for future economic development planning by identifying areas where services should be concentrated. It must indicate the Indaka development strategic economic development nodal points. More than all, the local spatial framework should be aligned to the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy. It is therefore important that the SDF developed by SIVEST in 2003/2004 be implemented.

2.1.2 HOUSING AND SECURITY OF TENURE In terms of the National Housing Act of 1997, Section 1 (v) spells out that housing development as the government belief that every residents should have access to decent housing in a reasonable environment, in areas allowing convenient access to economic opportunities, health, education and social amenities in which all citizens and permanent residents of the Republic will, on the a progress basis, have access to: Permanent residential structures with ownership of the site on which their houses is built. Clean water and adequate sanitary facilities as well as waste disposal and electricity.

The housing scheme can be used to address other infrastructure and service delivery problems that currently face the Indaka municipality. The table below illustrates the municipality’s plans to address the issues associated with the housing sector: The housing backlog at Indaka is estimated to 19 500 where families are living in informal houses. However, Indaka municipality has introduced the Housing Programme that aims:

To provide or give access to 21 households of Indaka municipality To ensure skills transfer to the communities To ensure that policy guidelines of Dept. of Housing, Dept of Health , DistrictMunicipality, Dept of Labour, Dept of Education and Dept of Environmental Affairs , etc are adhered to. The amount of R672 million has been allocated for a five year capital expenditure, from 2004/5 to 2008/9 financial years. More than 1 500 houses should be provided for each of ten wards by the end 2008/9. In the year 2004/5 an estimate of R128,043,000 is allocated for building a total of 4820 dwelling units which means 480 dwelling units for each ward except for ward five where only 500 dwelling units will be provided. By the end of 2008/9 financial year a total of 21,162 households will be delivered with proper service houses. The table below also illustrates the description of works and major milestone. On the previous IDP Review, the lack of the security of tenure for communities both in tribal and state-owned land was strongly highlighted. The lack of proper housing was also depicted in the 2001 census demographics. It is however, understood that INDAKA LM has engaged itself on the housing projects implementation through the provincial housing grants. It is therefore important that in this IDP Indaka must liaise with the DLA to find out the progress on the processing of land claims in Indaka and also to include all Housing projects that have been prioritised for implementation.

2.1.3 THE SAFETY AND SECURITY In the past, the limited presence of the police has compromised the safety and security of the area. Indaka has initiated a number of Anti-Crime initiatives in 2003/04 and 2004/05 financial years. The extent of this issue on this financial (2006/2007) year needs to be reviewed through the statistics from the local SAPS so as to inform the 2006/2007 municipal planning.

2.1.4 COMMUNITY FACILITIES Recreational facilities such as multi-purpose community halls and Sports facilities are very unevenly distributed with most of the well-developed facilities located on the North eastern block of the municipality. Indaka municipality cannot afford to effectively distribute evenly the same level of sport facilities to all deserving areas; the most cost-effective approach is to streamline the sports development programs. It is therefore suggested that starting in 2005/06, the municipality must establish a Sport Development Program (SDP) which will inform the municipality about the required sports development outputs and outcomes and how are to be achieved with less available resources.

2.1.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

To address illegal dumping problems and the provision of health and clean environment in all areas, particular public places, densely populated areas and areas of economic activities as per national requirements and standards in terms of waste management.

2.1.6 HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

The cholera outbreak of 2001/2002 was caused mainly by the poor and limited provision of appropriate water and sanitation to the affected areas. It is however doubtful whether this is still a primary issue. Indaka LM needs to confirm the extent of this issue with the department of Health based on the 2004/05 cholera outbreak statistics within Indaka LM.

The prevalence of Dongas, soil erosion, and soil impoverishment are the major indications of poor environmental management within the municipality. This poor environment protection within Indaka is very sensitive as the communities depend mainly in agriculture for food.

This is a priority issue across the province and the whole country. It is targeting impoverished areas like Indaka. Indaka needs to develop an Indaka HIV/AIDS policy that will be in line with the national and provincial HIV/AIDS strategic plans.

5 6

The impact of HIV/AIDS is also becoming evident. These phenomenons are experienced equally in both rural and urban areas. In the view of an increasing rate of HIV/AIDS in the province, population growth rate within the next 5 to 25 years is expected to be negligence. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is likely to have a significant impact on the population of the Indaka Municipality. It is likely to cause a slowing of the population growth rate in the municipality. Women are particularly vulnerable to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and a great number of women than men will die of this disease. Since women make up the largest number of the municipality’s population, they will be hardest hit when it comes to the Aids epidemic, thus the gender composition of the Indaka municipal area will change. However, it must be noted that the number of Aids related deaths could be reduced through behavioral changes and the provision of affordable effective medication. The attached copy of HIV/AIDS Business Plan shows that the municipality has initiated some projects to assist the community, annexure 1. The table below illustrate the plans to address the problems issues related with HIV/AIDS.

2.1.7 ROADS

Indaka Municipality does not have any national roads running through it. The major road that runs through the area is the Helpmekaar road which runs from Ladysmith town past the Limehill settlement web and joins the Dundee-Pomeroy road (MR 32). The Mhlumayo complex is linked to the rest of the region by the gravel main road that extends beyond the municipality through to the Tugela Estate as Weenen in the Umtshezi Local Municipality. The rest of the road networks in the area is all gravel.

The major issue with regards to roads in the area is one common to the re s t of the Province and the continual erosion of the budget allocated to the construction and maintenance of Provincial Roads (Totman:2000). The issue of access roads will haunt the Indaka municipality for a number of years to come. This is because most of the community access roads are in a very bad condition, some now only exist as tracks. Given the impact that HIV/AIDS will have it is argued that a demand for access roads will increase as more people will be requiring cars to collect the sick from the settlement that are currently not accessible.

2.1.8 ELECTRICITY

About 27.19% of the households in the Indaka Municipality make use of electricity. The Limehill complex has benefited most in terms of electrification within the municipality. Smaller settlements and the Mhlumayo complex are still lacking in this regard. The reasons for this are largely the same for all infrastructure provision: the

6 7

settlement is largely dispersed and unstructured. The majority of the people in this municipality uses candles (59%)

There is a need to extend the connections to all areas as most community facilities also require electricity.

2.1.8 WATER

Approximately 20% of community within the settlements depends on piped water public taps, and an increasing number of residents are making individual connections that has made up to 40.5%. However, Mhlumayo complex depends on dams, streams and boreholes as water sources.

Lack of maintenance has caused a number of problems such as cholera for the people within these settlements, especially the ones depending on the boreholes. The District Municipality has provided such communities with the supply of clean water through water trucks, which is a short-term resolution. The table below illustrates how Indaka municipality has to address issues related with water sector.

Uthukela District Municipality has however, initiated water supply projects to assist the community to have access on potable and clean water, the projects are as follows:

Umhlumayo Bulk water, which is under operation Jikishoba water project (uThukela Water) Completion of Uthukela Emergency Water Projects for areas such as KwaShuzi, Ekhuzeni, Zwelisha and Inkanga

2.1.9 SANITATION

The residents of Indaka Local Municipality have minimum proper sanitation. Residents use pit latrines and partly buckets system, which is going to be phased out in the near future as the project consolidate process has already started and the consultant that is to remove the bucket system is in the process of doing that However, there is an urgent attention to those without proper form of sanitation as a result of the lack of adequate water and there can be easily polluted and the people will suffer.

2.2 LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL SERVICES

Indaka is currently relying on primary subsistence agriculture, government services and private household’s employments

A challenge therefore is to examine and exploit other economic development opportunities. This municipality is geographically located on the periphery of the Coal Rim, Midlands economic development cluster, and the battlefield node. It is suggested that Indaka via its Planning and Development Manager liaise with these economic development structures to benefit the municipality on the available economic programs and projects.

Again, because of the rugged topography, Indaka municipality excluding North Eastern areas has a very limited access to social services. This includes services provision like: Police, Childcare, Education, Sports and Recreation. The municipality should consider initiatives and programmes of decentralising social services to these remaining areas.

The economic activities in the Indaka municipality are concentrated in agriculture, primarily subsistence agriculture, social/government services and those employed in private enterprise within the municipality and functions as a dormitory town to Ladysmith.

There is a low literacy rate within the municipality, with less than 40% of the population having no formal education. This is combined with the low skills base, this reinforces the economic tendency for the area to serve as a Labour Pool, rather than develop its own economic drivers. HIV/AIDS also has an impact on decrease of economic development, as some of the infected parties are economically active and those with skills.

2.2.1 Economic growth

The Muni cipality is doping the best it can in terms of enhancing the growth of the economy for the Municipality. And to enhance the economic growth of the Municipality there has been different initiatives by the Municipality to look at the co-operatives and development of the SMME's etc.

2.2.2 Poverty Alleviation

There has been strategies that have been put in place by the Municipality that will work towards the alleviation of poverty. This is to show that the Municipality is doing the best it can to alleviate poverty.

8 9

2.2.3 Job Creation

Different job opportunities have created by the Municipality to help the youth and thje community of Indaka at large to get jobs that will help them to sustain their families even though the jobs are not permanently created but whatever is created can help the youth to stay away from the streets and drug abuse

2.2.4 Social Involvement

Indaka community have been socially involved in the issues that deals with Municipality in a sense that there has been public meetings and budget presentations where the community has been invited to be part of those meetings therefore it is of essence that we note the tremendous contribution made by the Municpality in order to enhance the social involvement of its local people.

2.3 TRANSFORMATION AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The municipality’s purpose of existence is to deliver services as per the constitutional mandate stated in section 152 of the RSA Constitution. In order for the municipality to deliver its mandate, it must be equipped with enough resources, including right staffing and equipment. For the municipality to be able to acquire and maintain the right staff and equipment, it needs sustainable financial resources.

Indaka is a rural-based municipality with very limited revenue base. Furthermore, the staff that has been transferred from the uThukela DM and uMsekeli has added a salary burden to the municipality. As a matter of priority, this IDP must address this issue, and it is suggested that Indaka should apply for funding to conduct HR and physical assets audit to inform its 2006/7 budget.

2.3.1 Organisational Design

The organizational design of the Municipality includes the the council of the Municipality has been structured in accordance with the regulations or the requirements by MEC because all the vacant positions have been filled as the MEC letter.

2.3.2 Employment Equity

The policy of Employment Equity promotes the equality in the workplace or in this Municipality and the Indaka has engaged itself in the process of making it a point that the Employment Equity Plan is in place and this has been budgeted for in this financial year.

2.3.3 Integrated Development Plan

This is a 5 year plan developed by the Municipality which incoperates the strategies , objectives and the programmes planned by the Municipality so as to inform the municipality as to what and how it is supposed to carry out its activities.

9 1

2.3.4 Performance Management System

This is the designed by the Municipality which is aimed at looking at the individuals perfomance within the organisation and again it seeks to detect the strenghts and the weakenesses of the Municipality and its employees.

2.3.5 Skills Development

The Municipality has developed the Skills Development Plan that works towards the improvement of the skills of the employees. It again looks at the way in which it can enhance or improve the skills of the individual employee.

2.4 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

This is done in order to improve and implement all financial systems appropriate for the internal control purposes

2.4.1 Financial Viability

This is a strategy desiugned by the Municipality to sustain its finances and to look at the viability of its finances for example the introduction of the customer care and credit control policy and the Operational and Maintanance Plan etc.

2.4.2 Grant This where the Municipality introduces strategies like the Infrastructural and Investment plan and to look at the revenue enhancement and again it looks at the Intergrated Financial Plan for the Municipality to ensure the valid expenditure of grants funding.

2.5 GOOD GOVERNANCE

Indaka Local Municipality encourages and ensures the community involvement in the municipal affairs for example the ward committees have been established, izimbizo meetings are convened and the IDP forums are also established and policies regarding public participation were impacted with an intention of training ward committees.

2.5.1 Public Participation

This a process where the Municipality seeks to achieve the participation from the public and to allow the public to comment on everything the Municipality does . For example the community meetings are being held with the public and there has been mayoral izimbizo's and different meetings with the Amakhosi's.

2.5.2 Ward System

It is meant to establish functional ward system and to form functional ward committees and again it informs the appointment of additional community development workers.

1 1

2.5.3 Co-operative Governance

It ensures that the institution operates in line with approapriate legislations to encourage Intergovernmental relationship.It again looks at the introduction and implementation of the by laws and HR Policies.

3. THE MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT VISION

This vision was developed in 2002/03, and it is informed by the following attributes: - Indaka is a newly established rural municipality - The majority of Indaka households are poor - That prior 1994 Indaka was not included under the local government structures except JSB’s

The vision is as follows:

THE INDAKA VISION STATEMENT 1. CHAMPIONING THE

DEVELOPMENT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF ALL INDAKA COMMUNITIES

1 1

4. THE MISSION STATEMENT This mission statement developed in 2002/03 to achieve the above 5-year vision is stated as follows

THE INDAKA MISSION STATEMENT OF INDAKA IS TO UPHOLD ITS CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION BY:

PROVIDING THE BASIC SERVICES IN THE SUSTAINABLE MANNER.

PROMOTING A SOIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

PROMOTING A SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.

PROMOTING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE MATTERS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

5. PRIORITY ISSUES FOR INDAKA MUNICIPALITY

Steering Committee prioritised issues as follows:

• Infrastructure and Service delivery • Local Economic Development & Social Services • Transformation and institutional development • Financial management • Governance

6. INDAKA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY GENERAL ASPECTS

It is however important to point out that whilst Indaka is relatively a small municipality, the enormity of development challenges far outweigh its spatial size. This point becomes very critical to note when it comes to planning and budgetary process.

7.1 HOUSING In terms of the National Housing Act of 1997, Section 1 (v) spells out that housing development as the government belief that every residents should have access to decent

1 1

housing in a reasonable environment, in areas allowing convenient access to economic opportunities, health, education and social amenities in which all citizens and permanent residents of the Republic will, on the a progress basis, have access to:

Permanent residential structures with ownership of the site on which their houses is built. Clean water and adequate sanitary facilities as well as waste disposal and electricity.

The housing scheme can be used to address other infrastructure and service delivery problems that currently face the Indaka municipality. Housing backlog is + 21 thousand units in this municipality.

Indaka Local Municipality has packed 6000 units during 2004/2005 Financial year. Umhlumayo PHP housing project (1000 units) has reached a final approval stage Uitvaal PHP housing project (1000 units) has reached final approval stage Vaalkop PHP housing project (1000 units) has received conditional approval Limehill PHP housing project has Land Claims which need to resolved

The graph and the table below illustrates the increase in housing increase

Category 1996 2001 Number Percentage Number Percentage Formal 5,087 33,8% 9,667 45.0% Informal 9,955 66.2% 11,805 55.0% Total 15,042 100.0% 21,472 100.0%

1 1

Description The total number of households in Indaka Local Municipality increased from 15042 in 1996 to 21 472 in 2001, an increase of 6 430 households. During this period the number of households residing in informal dwellings increase from 9 955 (66.2%) to 11 805 (55.0%), an increase of 1 850 households, while the number of households residing in formal dwellings also increased from 5 087 (33.8%) to 9 667 (45.0%). Some 4 580 or 11.2% of households have thus gained access to formal housing which implied that the rate of housing delivery was higher than the households growth rate. An implication of this household delivery is that some progress has been achieve towards addressing backlogs.

7.2 Demographic Aspect

The new Indaka Local Municipality has a total population of 99 447. The gender composition of the municipality indicates that 44% is male and 56% is female. This indicates that the majority of the people in the municipality is of a previously disadvantaged grouping (women). A detailed demographic analysis in relation to infrastructure distribution is provided under the section dealing with infrastructure. People of this municipality are distributed widely across the municipal area. The population distribution in this area follows settlement distribution. It is no surprise therefore that half of the population of the area is found in the smaller settlement of Limehill complex. This is because here there is a concentration of settlements as compared to the Umhlumayo complex which is characterised by dispersed settlements.

Indaka municipality area has a youthful population with 60% of the people being under the age of 20. It has been observed in the previous planning exercise that the ones that places a significant demand on social services in the Indaka municipality particularly in the Education sector.

Research into AIDS in KwaZulu-Natal recently initiated by the Town and Regional Planning Commission suggests that over 100 000 people re currently dying of AIDS related illness per annum in the province (Whiteside and Wilkins, 1995). It is projected that by 2010 this figure will rise to some 150 000 AIDS related deaths in the province. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is likely to have impact on the population of the Indaka Municipality.

The pandemic is likely to cause a slowing of the population growth rate in the municipal area. Women are particularly susceptible to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and a much larger number of women that men will die of this epidemic. The burden of AIDS related illness and deaths would be felt not only by infected individuals but also their families. Households will suffer a loss of income when economically active family members are unable to work and the treatment of AIDS sufferers will make new demands on family Labour while also leading to increased medical costs. A heavy demand will be placed on the resources of the Departments of Health and Welfare by AIDS sufferers and their families.

The AIDS epidemic will also alter the gender composition of Indaka area since women who make up the largest proportion of the municipalities population will be hardest hit. It must however be noted that the number of AIDS related deaths could be reduced through behavioural changes and the provision of affordable effective medication.

1 1

GENERAL INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SERVICE DELIVERY ASPECTS

9.1.1 Cemeteries

Currently there is only one formal cemetery in the whole municipal area. This is located next to the closely settled settlement of Ekuvukeni in the Limehill complex. There is no communal cemetery for the Mhlumayo complex. It is assumed that this is because people do not use these. They actually bury their dead in their residential sites.

9.1.2 Telecommunication

The Limehill complex is served by Telkom’s national telephone network. Some settlement along the main road corridor in the Mhlumayo complex is also served by Telkom but these services have not extended to the more remote parts of the municipality. The municipality is also being served by the two cellular phone companies that currently operate in the country viz. MTN and Vadacom. These companies have however not added much to the improvement of communication for the people of the municipality as there is insufficient coverage of all the areas where people reside. More often cell phones are used as message recorders instead of being immediate communication tools. The 1996 census data indicates that 31% of households in Indaka have no access to any form of telephone.

9.1.3 Refuse Removal

Within the Indaka Municipality the only area that has an appointed that collects households refuse and disposes of it in a n informal site nearby is Ekuvukeni. The other settlements have no known ways of collecting refuse. A massive 29.32% have no place to dump their waste. Added to this is a 53.49% that has their own dump. It is assumed that these dumps are in the household’s sites and there is no monitoring, forum an outsider perspective, as to whether waste actually goes in to that dump or it joins that from those with no disposal. It is suggested that these figures warrant an intervention on the part of the municipality to ensure that people are made aware of the correct procedure of dumping waste and the need to have waste disposal site.

9.1.4 Electricity

There is a need to extend the connections to all areas as most community facilities also require electricity.

1 1

9.1.5 Sanitation

According to the census statistics of 1996 44.04% pf the residents of Indaka Municipality use pit latrines. A further 19.05% use bucket latrines which can only be regarded as a short-term solution. A very disturbing finding from these statistics is that a huge 35.72% of the residents have no proper form of sanitation. This is seen as an important issue which warrants urgent attention of the new municipality given the recent cholera outbreak in the country. This is also seen as an immediate priority because 34.16% of the people in the municipality use dams, rivers and streams as water sources. These can easily be polluted and almost half the population will suffer.

9.1.6 Roads

9.1.7 Water Supply

The Uthukela District Council is endeavouring to ensure the supply of a potable reticulated water supply to the residents of all the component settlements in the Uthukela Region. In the Indaka area the Oliphantskop dam supplies settlements such as Ekuvukeni, Vaalkop and Uitvaal, and is being extended north eastwards to the rest of the settlements that comprise the Limehill complex. The majority of the residents in the Limehill complex rely either on piped water to dwellings or on public taps. As bulk infrastructure has been provided to all the major villages in the Limehill complex it can be expected that the number of residents having piped water on site will increase as the number of residents making individual connections steadily rises (Totman:2000)

9.1.8 Storm Water Management

1 1 storm water management becomes timetable for Indaka municipality. Indaka municipality is engaged in construction of new storm H20 drains, cleaning erecting water drains.

9.1.9 Street lighting

Safety and security of the Indaka residents is a concern of this municipality. Indaka has started commenced with the process of electrifying streetlights. Ekuvukeni as the hub of development, this process of street electrification has been completed.

9.1.10 Environment

The environmental protection within Indaka is very crucial since Indaka communities depend on mainly in agriculture for food.

9.1.11 Transformation and Institution

For the municipality to be able to maintain the right staff and equipment, it needs sustainable financial resources. Indaka is a rural –based municipality with very limited revenue base. Indaka has received some funds to conduct HR Audit.

10. ECONOMIC ASPECT

The most important economic indicator in terms of production activity is the Gross Geographic product, which is the value of all final goods and services produced within a defined area over a certain time period. However, due to virtually non-existent GGP data specific to the Indaka Municipal area, regional information has been used to determine the productivity of the area.

11. Manufacturing

Is the biggest sector within the regional economy. This is mainly as result of state support offered to the sector in the past. Critical interventions have included the designation of Ladysmith as a growth point in 1968 and the establishment of industrial estate of Peters at Ezakheni in 1983 as part of the government Regional Industrial Development Programme.

Textile,clothing, footwar and leather industries have historically been the mainstay of the regional economy, with food, beverages and tobacco being the other significant manufacturing sub-sectors. The manufacturing sector is however undergoing a restructuring phase as a result of stiff competition emanating from the global economic development processes. The emerging window of opportunity for however reviving manufacturing, with particular reference to textile and apparel sector is the new Africa Growth and Opportunity, which is a United State – Sub Saharan Africa legislation allowing the latter relatively easier access to the United States market.

The historical development of the manufacturing has however not been spread out to the Indaka Municipality. Its impact was more at a regional level, taking more of an urban bias as against direct investment in rural areas. There is thus virtually no manufacturing investments in the Indaka Municipal area, except small manufacturing enterprises in the form of block making, panel beating and craft work.

1 1

12. Agricultural sector

The agricultural sector, in terms of output, is relatively a medium sized sector in the regional economy. This could be seen by the fact that the contribution of the manufacturing sector is just over three times the size of the agricultural sector. Since the Indaka Municipality falls within what historically has been referred to as the eMnambithi District, it is characterised by an extremely limited agricultural potential, which is a result of settlement pressure, traditional farming methods, and poor bio resource groupings. Dry land cropping is mostly practiced mainly for household consumption. Community gardens are limited to areas with irrigation potential such as the uThukela and Sundays River valley and tributaries. Whilst the output contribution of agriculture is not that very impressive, its employment spin-offs need not be overlooked. This is because the sector has strong backward and forward linkages, which makes it one of the relatively dynamic industries.

13. Tourism

Tourism is a sunrise sector at a global level, with virtually almost all global nations pursuing tourism development in an attempt to inject economic growth capable of sustaining the ever- increasing population. The location of the regional and the municipality within the Battlefields region, and the recognition of these respective authorities in the evolving provincial Tourism Development Strategy, present windows of opportunities for capitalizing on the sector. The Labour absorption potential of tourism and its revenue generation effect make the sector worth exploiting. Within the context of the Indaka Municipality, represent important market segments for designing future economic development strategies.

The employment statistics indicates that only about 11% of the population are income earners (the employed and pensioners) in the Indaka Municipality, whilst the rest are economically passive. It is a sad reality that needs to be addressed within the municipality that the population is for the most reliant on governmental welfare grants in the form of pensions. Based on the broader contextual analysis of the economy of the Indaka Municipal area, the following points need to be highlighted, as they will eventually form the basis for a sound development strategy for the area:

The regional economy is based primarily on the manufacturing sector, with textile, clothing and leather industries having been dominant sub-sectors. Indaka Municipality is however extremely underdeveloped when it comes to manufacturing investments.

The trade sector of which tourism is critical, represents growth sector for the Indaka Municipal area, hence the deliberations on tourism in the sector analysis section.

The contribution of the agricultural sector in terms of outputs is less impressive, however in terms of its backward and forward linkages, agriculture represents an opportunity sector for the future development of the area. Due considerations of the agricultural sector is considered under sectoral analysis, and

The employment profile points to the importance of the government sector in the area. It is important that public sector investment is injected into the Indaka Municipality so that it could eventually provide a stepping stone for private sector initiatives.

14. Air port

The spatial structure of the Indaka municipality indicates a network of movement systems which serve to enforce a hierarchy of nodes and activity transport networks. More than anything, else, movement systems are intended to ensure maximum accessibility to goods, service and destinations.

Indaka is an agricultural municipality producing perishable products, therefore the quickest mode of transport is essential for the perishable staff. It is for this reason that Indaka municipality is investigation the possibility of air part within and across the borders of municipality.

6. THE DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

Emanating from the mission statement are the specific and clear objectives leading to development strategies. The objectives give the clear specifications on what the municipality’s intentions to address the identified issues. 7. THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES The strategies are linked from the objectives and define clearly how the municipality will achieve its stated objectives. As part of alignment, this IDP will link to the other plans of government spheres such as the ASGISA and KZN PGDS and NSP

28.1 Factors Influencing The Spatial Development Of The Area

The factors influencing spatial development in the area are a combination of natural factors, physical infrastructure and policies guiding spatial development.

28.2 Natural Factors

Mountain Ranges

The Indaka Municipality is located within the south-western foothills of the Biggarsberg, which forms the watershed and natural divide between the municipality and the adjacent municipalities of Endumeni to the north and Msinga to the east.

Topography

Topographically, the municipality can be divided into the rugged southern areas and the central plateau.

The southern areas of Indaka, comprising the Sundays River Valley and the Uthukela River gorge are topographically rugged, characterized by deeply entrenched river valleys and broken ridge lines. Due to the steep gradients and relative inaccessibility of these areas, settlement tends to be more limited and dispersed. Agricultural potential is limited agricultural activity is practiced.

The northern portion of the municipality is part of the central plateau extending from Ladysmith to Wasbank. This areas is characterized by gently sloping land, with extrusions of dolomitic capped koppies and ridges.

The most prominent of these are Jobskop (173m), Stuurmanskop (1125m), Mancilwane (1054m) and Cancane (1192m). Within this flatter area, the average elevation varies from 1000-1500m. Much of this northern area is degraded due to overstoking and erosion.

Rivers

Indaka Municipality is characterized by two drainage systems – the Uthukela River and the Sundays River, The east-flowing Uthukela River forms the southern boundary of the municipality, with tributaries draining southwards to the river. The Jana Dam is proposed along this river, as indicated on the map; Natural Factors

The Sundays River drainage basin forms the major proportion of the Indaka municipal area. The Wasbank River joins the Sundays in the central area of Indaka. Tributaries into these south flowing rivers drain from the east and west. Water quality in the Wasbank River has been negatively affected by coal mining within its drainage system.

The Uthukela, Sundays and Wasbank rivers are perennial, while some of the minor tributaries may be seasonal.

Wetlands

There are no major wetlands in the Indaka Municipality. However, I the upper reaches of the tributaries of the major rivers, areas have been identified where ‘there is adequate water supply and a place where water will accumulate’ (Kotze and Breen, 1996). These wetlands are indicated on the map: Natural Factors. Analysis of the map indicates that these areas are more predominant in the northern area of the Indaka Municipality, due to the topography of the area.

Environmental sensitive areas

Analysis of the KZN Wildlife GIS database identifies two categories of environmentally important areas as occurring in the municipality;

Important Species Sites Sites of Intrinsic Biodiversity Value

The important species identified as potentially occurring in the municipality is Oribi and the location is northwestern portion of the municipality. This locality is contiguous with areas in the Emnambithi Municipality. This area overlaps with the important flood plain of the Sundays River.

Areas of high intrinsic biodiversity 3 have been identified in the Indaka Municipality. These are located in the lying areas, particularly around Jobskop and in the ridgeline forming the watershed between the Sundays and Uthukela Rivers. Some other isolated areas in proximity to streams/wetlands have also been identified.

Many of the steep slopes of the Uthukela Gorge and of the Sundays River valley have been identified as areas of intermediate biodiversity value, as have the slopes of Jobskop.

High Potential Agricultural Land

Agricultural potential within the Indaka Municipality is limited. As indicated on the Map: Agricultural Potential (based on data from Cedara), only a few areas have identified as having good and moderate agricultural potential. The part of the pockets of Dry and Moist Tall Grassveld, Sour

These areas are predominantly on the periphery of the municipality, in the low-lying central plateau and drained by tributaries of the Sundays River. Beef farming is the most suitable form of agricultural production on these areas.

The full agricultural potential of these areas is not currently exploited, as subsistence agriculture is mainly practiced.

The remaining areas of Indaka area characterized by very restricted, low and very low potential categorization.

28.3 Physical Infrastructure And Activities

Roads

Indaka Municipality is not traversed by any national roads, but has a network of provincial and district roads. These roads service the Municipality itself and carry primarily local traffic. 3 Areas of intrinsic biodiversity are defined as ‘sites identified as rich in assets important for conserving biodiversity’ KZN Nature Conservation Service, 2000, p108. The categorization as high, medium or low is the result of an overlay of weighted factors, such as sites identified as important landscapes, the location of important ecosystems and communities and of important species.

The most important provincial road is the Helpmekaar road, which runs from Ladysmith through Ekuvukeni and the Limehill Complex, before linking with the Dundee-Pomeroy road (MR32).

From this road, a network of district and provincial roads service the northern areas of the municipality, with links to Elandslaagte, Wasbank and Wesselsnek to the north possible by means of provincial roads.

The most important road in the southern portions of the municipality is the road branching off from the Helpmekaar road to the Umhlumayo area, and linking to Weneen and Tugela Ferry. A number of district roads extend from this provincial road, so serving this southern area of the municipality.

The road network through the area has played an important role in the distribution of settlements, with most settlements in the municipality located along the provincial and district roads.

The predominant forms of transportation in the municipality are by taxi and bus. Nodal bus stops/taxi ranks have been identifies at;

Ekuvukeni Klipriver Waaihoek Uitval (fitty Park) Sithole Tribal Authority (serving the Umhlumayo area)

In an effort to redress the backlogs of roads infrastructure, the Uthukela District Municipality is involved in three access roads projects in the are. All three access roads are in the Mhlumayo complex. The issue of access roads in the municipality is a very serious one. This is because most of the community access roads are in a very bad condition, and some now only exist as tracks. Given the impact that HIV/AIDS will have it is argued that a demand for access roads will increase as more people will be requiring cars to collect the sick from the settlements that are currently not accessible.

Dams

There are currently no dams in the Indaka Municipality. However, there are proposals for the construction of Jana and Mielietuin Dams on the Uthukela River as part of the Vaal Transfer Scheme. However, the Indaka Municipality will only benefit marginally from the water stored in the dams.

Bulk Water Systems

Bulk water systems supply the settlements of Ekuvukeni, Vaalkop and Uitval, and are being expanded to the villages of the Limehill Complex. These systems are reliant from supply from the Oliphantskop dam. In the Mhlumayo complex there is a pattern of dispersed settlements. The people in this part of Indaka Municipality are using dams, streams and boreholes as water sources as there is no piped water. It has been observed in number of projects that one of the problems associated with boreholes is lack of maintenance. This makes life very difficult for people who are dependant on this type of water source. Uthukela District Municipality has been involved in the supply of clean water through other means as a short term. As a long term solution the District Municipality is currently in a process of obtaining information on the best suitable way of supplying the Mhlumayo complex with clean water.

There are no bulk water system in the remainder of the municipality, with the residents of these areas reliant on tankers, boreholes and natural supplies from streams, springs and dams. Analysis of the population distribution in the Indaka Municipality indicates that the greatest concentration of people and settlements is in the areas where there is bulk water supply.

Electricity Lines

The northern areas of the Indaka Municipality are traversed by bulk electricity lines. According to Statistics South Africa (1996) only 27,19 of Indaka municipality make use of electricity. The Limehill complex is the one that has benefited most in terms of electrification within the Municipality, where over 50% of the residents of the complex and its periphery have access to electricity. The northwest portion of the municipality is also traversed by electricity lines, although these stop north of the Helpmekaar road. These service the commercial farms in the area.

In the remainder of the municipality there is no electrification and residents use candles, mainly due to the dispersed settlement and rugged topography. Such areas constitute about 59% (Statistics South Africa, 1996) of the total population of Indaka Municipality.

Analysis of the population distribution in the municipality indicates that the greatest concentration of people and settlements is in the areas where there is electricity supply.

Towns and Settlements

The main town in the municipality is Ekuvukeni, a former R293 township, which serves as the hub of the municipality. This is the location of the municipal administration and a concentration of economic activities. The remainder of the area is characterized by rural settlements, as may be anticipated in an are that previously was administered by the KwaZulu Government. A total of 143 settlements have been identified in the municipality. These are further analyzed in Section 3.4

Many of the settlements are located along the provincial and district roads, while others are clustered where services are available (e.g. Limehill complex).

Land Reform Projects

There are two confirmed land reform projects affecting the Indaka area:

The Klipriver/Emnambithi State Land Disposal Project involves the disposal of approximately 29 000 hectares of state land, made up of 84 farms extending across the Municipality. The project commenced in

1998 ad co-ordinate consulting with all role-players, including the uThukela District Municipality and the amaKhosi has been ongoing

The Opmerkzaamheid Project is a labour tenants (tenure/farm dweller) project currently in detailed planning phase. The project is 311 ha in extent and there are 22 beneficiary households.

The Department of Land Affairs has had a large number of enquiries of claims relating to Labour Tenants and claims have been lodged for restitution projects in the Ladysmith/Emnambithi sub-region. However, as these are still being processed, it is difficult to determine the number of other projects that impact on the Indaka municipality.

Within the Indaka municipality there is a lot of overlap between the disposal of state land processes and the restitution processes, as most of the state land being considered for disposal is land that Amakhosi have put restitution claims on.

5. Current reality

5.1 Locality and composition

Indaka Municipality (KZ233) is located within the eastern section of the Uthukela District Council, known in the previous demarcation dispensation as the Uthukela Regional Council. Umtshezi, Emnambithi and uMsinga Municipalities to the south, west and east respectively represent the neighbouring local councils to the Indaka Municipality.

One of the striking features of the Indaka Muncipality is the spatial segmentation of the Tribal Authorities. The southern segment is comprised of the Mabaso, Ngwe, Mthembu and Sithole Tribal Authorities, whilst the northern segment is home to Mchunu, Sigweje, Mbense and Nxumalo Tribal Authorities.

The size of the Indaka Municipality is 990 square kilometre, thus accounting for 9% of the total land area of the Uthukela District Council. As Table and Figure One indicate respectively, uKhahlamba is the largest municipality within the region.

7. INDAKA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY ASPECTS

It is however important to point out that whilst Indaka is relatively a

small municipality, the enormity of development challenges far outweigh its spatial size. This point becomes very critical to note when it comes to planning and budgetary process.

7.1 HOUSING In terms of the National Housing Act of 1997, Section 1 (v) spells out that housing development as the government belief that every residents should have access to decent housing in a reasonable environment, in areas allowing convenient access to economic opportunities, health, education and social amenities in which all citizens and permanent residents of the Republic will, on the a progress basis, have access to:

Permanent residential structures with ownership of the site on which their houses is built. Clean water and adequate sanitary facilities as well as waste disposal and electricity.

The housing scheme can be used to address other infrastructure and service delivery problems that currently face the Indaka municipality. Housing backlog is + 21 thousand units in this municipality.

Indaka Local Municipality has packed 6000 units during 2004/2005 Financial year. Umhlumayo PHP housing project (1000 units) has reached stage one approval. Uitvaal PHP housing project (1000 units) has received conditional approval

Vaalkop PHP housing project (1000 units) has reached preparation stage. Limehill PHP housing project has also reached preparation stage.

7.2 Demographic Aspect

5 burden of AIDS related illness and deaths would be felt not only by infected individuals but also their families. Households will suffer a loss of income when economically active family members are unable to work and the treatment of AIDS sufferers will make new demands on family Labour while also leading to increased medical costs. A heavy demand will be placed on the resources of the Departments of Health and Welfare by AIDS sufferers and their families.

GENERAL INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SERVICE DELIVERY ASPECTS

9.1.1 Cemeteries

9.1.8 Telecommunication

5 companies have however not added much to the improvement of communication for the people of the municipality as there is insufficient coverage of all the areas where people reside. More often cell phones are used as message recorders instead of being immediate communication tools. The 1996 census data indicates that 31% of households in Indaka have no access to any form of telephone.

9.1.9 Refuse Removal

9.1.10 Electricity

There is a need to extend the connections to all areas as most community facilities also require electricity.

9.1.11 Sanitation

9.1.12 Roads

9.1.13 Water Supply

9.1.8 Storm Water Management

The topography of Indaka municipality subjects this area to natural disasters and hazards. A brief description of Indaka’s topography is mountain, reviews and valleys. This means that there is a lot of seasonal rainfall which eventually brings in an element of flooding. In this way storm water management becomes timetable for Indaka municipality. Indaka municipality is engaged in construction of new storm H20 drains, cleaning erecting water drains.

9.1.9 Street lighting

9.1.10 Environment

The environmental protection within Indaka is very crucial since Indaka communities depend on mainly in agriculture for food.

9.1.11 Transformation and Institution

10. ECONOMIC ASPECT

11. Manufacturing

12. Agricultural sector

13. Tourism

Tourism is a sunrise sector at a global level, with virtually almost all global nations pursuing tourism development in an attempt to inject economic growth capable of sustaining the ever-increasing population. The location of the regional and the municipality within the Battlefields region, and the recognition of these respective authorities in the evolving provincial Tourism Development Strategy, present windows of opportunities for capitalizing on the sector. The Labour absorption potential of tourism and its revenue generation effect make the sector worth exploiting. Within the context of the Indaka Municipality,

6 represent important market segments for designing future economic development strategies.

The trade sector of which tourism is critical, represents growth sector for the Indaka Municipal area, hence the deliberations on tourism in the sector analysis section.

14. Air port

The spatial structure of the Indaka municipality indicates a network of movement

6 systems which serve to enforce a hierarchy of nodes and activity transport networks. More than anything, else, movement systems are intended to ensure maximum accessibility to goods, service and destinations.

5. SECTOR PLANS

5.1 INTRODUCTION

The IDP Review phase four is crucial for arriving at the Integrated Development Plan and forms the core of the process. It serves to integrate the preceding phases and the roles and functions of the various sectors that comprise of specific projects, strategies and projects. The major result of phase four is an operational strategy. This is presented in the form of sector plans, which provides a consolidated understanding of each sector and the municipality’s plan for each sector. The specific sector plans that are in place are as follows:

Financial Management plan Housing Strategy plan Water and Sanitation plan Integrated LED Programme HIV/AIDS Programme

5.2 Financial Management Plan

The Municipal System Act,32 of 200 makes it compulsory for municipalities to perform their functions and deliver municipal services in a cost effective and efficient manner. This sentiment is further repeated in the Municipal Finance management Act, 56 of 2003. This section presents a financial plan and is in line with the provisions of both these pieces of legislation and requirements for the IDP.

The municipality is dependent on grant funding and it is not currently self-sustaining. However, grant funding may support the municipality and facilitate capital investment. The long term costs of increasing operating and maintenance costs without a cost recovery system will further erode its sustainability.

5.3 Financial Management Principles

The financial management principles will serves as a concern in the implementation of the ID, and there are as follows:

Financial management will be undertaken in terms of the Municipal Finance Management Act, 56 of 2003. Matter relating to financial responsibility will take into cognizance he council social responsibilities including the need to address the needs of the indigent, and ability to pay for service. Funds will be spent on prioritized projects that are listed in the IDP for the local municipality only.

It is expected for that the strategic direction will improve the weak financial capacity of the municipality, optimize the use of scarce and limited resources and assist the municipality to develop its financial base.

The following strategic direction will be followed in respect of financial management:

Developing a balance between capital and operation budget Delivery of services at affordable service levels Tightening of the credit control function Development of innovative fundraising strategies Development of alternative service delivery options Compliance with national and provincial treasury regulations and relevant pieces of legislation

Indaka municipal has established the financial management policy framework. The framework is made up of the following policies:

Revenue Policy Indigence Policy Procurement Policy Salary and allowance Fixed Assets Investment Polic Cash Management policy Loans Policy Credit Control and Debt collection policy

5.4 POTENTIAL RISKS

The assessment of the financial situation has shown the following potential risks, identified as follows: Increasing unemployment reducing the payment factor The low payment factor for services rendered The withdrawal or discontinuation of any of the grants/subsidies, which currently fund the municipality, or the inability of the municipality to apply or qualify for further grants funding

The Indaka Municipality has weak financial capacity, being reliant on grant funding to sustain itself. It also has limited capacity to raise its own revenue, as service charges do not cover costs of providing basic services and payment factor for charges raised is low. The improved functioning of the institutional structure of the municipality is likely to increase the operating expenditure of the municipality and additional sources of funding will need to be identifies.
