LEKWA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY FINAL IDP IDP 2019/2020 2019/2020 Tshwarelo t. Mashego PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTORATE 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR 11. MUNICIPAL OVERVIEW BY MUNICIPAL MANAGER “As you are aware we have had to recently welcome the intervention by our Premier in accordance with section 139 of the Municipal Finance Management Act” since the beginning of this year. “A task team led by provincial treasury and encompassing specialists in every element of the financial management ecosystem has been dispatched to the municipality and is currently working tirelessly to develop and implement a financial recovery plan”. These is “in order to ensure that we centrally coordinate the programmes of our government in an effort to ensure that the programmes of the government are concomitant with priority areas aimed at tackling the triple challenges of poverty unemployment and inequality whilst ensuring that our people continue to have access to the most basic of services”. “The objective of this intervention is two-fold. The first being that we must ensure that we continue to align intergovernmental relations with the priority areas outlined above. Secondly it is important to take cognizance of the fact that we must outline and collate our achievements as Government as we approach the end of this 5th democratically elected administration” We are also expected to take the cue from the 2016-2017 State of the Province Address in which we commit the administration to undertaking critical programmes that would “ensure that today is better than yesterday and that tomorrow is better than today” in line with vision 2030. I therefore hope justice will prevail in terms of delivering basic services to the needy communities.
