BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS The Constitution outlines the objectives of local government, which are to: 3.1. provide democratic and accountable government for communities; 3.2. provide basic services in a sustainable manner; 3.3. promote socio-economic development; 3.4. promote a safe and healthy environment; and 3.5. encourage the involvement of communities in matters of local government. 3.6. To this end, municipalities are required to plan and facilitate development in an integrated manner, ensuring that resources are utilised efficiently and effectively to alleviate poverty and inequality, provide basic services and promote sustainable development. 3.7. The Municipal Systems Act (MSA) outlines the objectives and procedures for integrated planning for municipalities. Section 23 (1) of the Act states that every municipality must undertake developmentally- orientated planning so as to ensure that it – 3.7.1. strives to achieve the objects of local government set out in Section 152 of the Constitution; 3.7.2. gives effect to its developmental duties as required by Section 153 of the Constitution; and 3.7.3. together with other organs of state contributes to the progressive realisation of the fundamental rights contained in Sections 24, 25, 26, 27 and 29 of the Constitution.

It further states that municipal councils must: “within a prescribed period after the start of its elected term, adopt a single inclusive and strategic plan for the development of a municipality.” The City adopted its five- year IDP in 2016/17. This IDP was linked to the City’s Growth Development Strategy (GDS) to address some of the concerns raised by national government on the performance of municipalities. 3.9. In line with legislation (Section 34 of the MSA), the City revises its IDP on an annual basis to ensure that it remains relevant to its specific operating environment. This includes political, socio-economic or other changes that has occurred post the 03 August 2016 local government democratic election. This annual review also enables the City to update its IDP to align with the new strategic direction spelled out by the new political leadership. 4. DISCUSSION Draft 2017/18 IDP Review 4.1. Section 26 of the MSA states that an IDP must reflect the following components: 4.1.1. the municipal council’s vision for long term development, with special emphasis on the municipality’s most critical development and internal transformation needs; 4.1.2. an assessment of the existing level of development in the municipality, which must include an identification of communities which do not have access to basic municipal services; 4.1.3. the council’s development priorities and objectives for its elected term, including its local economic development aims and its internal transformation needs; 4.1.4. the council’s development strategies which must be aligned with any national or provincial sectoral plans and planning requirements binding on the municipality in terms of legislation; 4.1.5. a spatial development framework which must include the provision of basic guidelines for a land use management system for the municipality; 4.1.6. the council’s operational strategies; 4.1.7. applicable disaster management plans; 4.1.8. a financial plan, which must include a budget projection for at least the next three years; and 4.1.9. key performance indicators and performance targets determined in terms of Section 41 of the Act.

The structure of the 2017/18 draft IDP review document is in line with the above legislative provisions. The IDP highlights the City's vision, areas of review as part of its assessment, the City's priorities and strategies, including key performance indicators and performance targets, spatial development framework and disaster management plan. 4.3. As the first 2017/18 IDP review for the current political administration represents a commitment by the City to accelerate services delivery, eliminate corruption and grow economy by 5% for the next five years. 4.4. The draft 2017/18 IDP review is tabled together with annual plans (Municipal Entities Business Plans) and budget in response to legislative requirements, and also to ensure alignment with the City’s new strategic direction. 2017/18 Draft Institutional Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) 4.5. The MFMA states that the annual (institutional) SDBIP must be tabled to the Executive Mayor at least 14 days after the approval of the IDP and the annual budget. Furthermore, Circular 13 of the MFMA advocates for the tabling of the SDBIP along with the IDP and annual budget, in order to ensure coherence and alignment thereof. 4.6. The institutional SDBIP (refer to Annexure B) outlines the key performance indicators and targets associated with the City's ten priority implementation plans, as aligned to the 2017/18 draft IDP review. 4.7. In terms of departmental SDBIPs and entities' business plans (refer to Annexure C and D respectively), more work is required to ensure that indicators and targets reflect the 'SMART' criteria. Furthermore, budget allocations have affected the key performance indicators, therefore this may have an impact on the accelerating service delivery.
