This study is yours, mom. My late brother, Mmamang Sydney Nkadimeng, for the healthy sibling rivalry that kept me on my toes over the years. We both pursued education relentlessly until your untimely death. Till we meet again, Phahlana. My wife, Nokhanya Nkadimeng, for allowing me the time to study and to compromise family time as a result. I undertake to make up for the lost time. My older children Nomathemba and Omphile for understanding that, like them, daddy was a student and had to do his homework. Thank you both, daddy will now make time for you. My supervisor, Prof Leoni Julyan, for the thorough supervision she provided to me. At times I wondered whether the study would ever be completed but her insights and guidance always triggered breakthroughs. Thank you, Prof. My co-supervisor, Mrs Marianne Lötter, for her support. I learnt to pay attention to detail from her. Victor Khanye Local Municipality for the permission to conduct my study at their municipality and the participants for their valuable insights. Mr. Hugo van der Walt who served as an external coder. Mrs Shaw who edited the dissertation. Thank you all. ii ABSTRACT The management control systems package has been the subject of recent studies but no study was found that examined the role of management control on service delivery in local government. The Victor Khanye Local Municipality in South Africa has experienced repeated service delivery protests attributed to a deficiency in the delivery of basic municipal services. An in-depth analysis was conducted on selected planning and budgeting aspects of the management control systems package and their role in the delivery of basic municipal services. This qualitative case study, carried out with semi- structured interviews, found that the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) and the budget were used to improve the delivery of basic municipal services. Further research may be conducted on factors inhibiting 100% alignment between the IDP, the SDBIP and the budget, and to determine the role of a quarterly review system for low ranking employees on service delivery. KEYWORDS: Basic municipal services; budget; control; Integrated Development Plan; local government; management control; service delivery; Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan. iii TABLE OF

To all suppliers and potential suppliers of goods to the Government Printing Works The Government Printing Works would like to warn members of the public against an organised syndicate(s) scamming unsuspecting members of the public and claiming to act on behalf of the Government Printing Works.

Government Printing Works condemns such illegal activities and encourages service providers to confirm the legitimacy of purchase orders with GPW SCM, prior to processing and delivery of goods. To confirm the legitimacy of purchase orders, please contact: Renny Chetty (012) 748-6375 ([email protected]), Anna-Marie du Toit (012) 748-6292 ([email protected]) and Siraj Rizvi (012) 748-6380 ([email protected]) This gazette is also available free online at www.gpwonline.co.za STAATSKOERANT, 13 NOVEMBER 2015 No.
