Introduction INCA Portfolio Managers (“IPM”) has been appointed by Bitou Local Municipality to conduct an Independent Macro Financial Assessment in consultation with the Council as a basis of the development of a 10-year Long-Term Financial Plan. The methodology that will be followed to conclude this assignment will consist of the following modules that will be contained within this report for adoption by Council: . Module 1: Key Perspectives related to Demography A detailed analysis of the Population is conducted. Key indicators used are: Total Population Population Density Annual per Capita Income Number of Households per Income Category Economically Active Population Economically Active Population as a percentage of Population Number of Unemployed People Population pyramid against other local municipalities in the district . Module 2: A Snapshot of the Local Economy A further analysis of the Local Economy formation is conducted. Highlighted key factors include: Gross Value Added by the nine Economic sub-sectors Sector Share of Regional Total Concentration within Primary, Secondary & Tertiary Aggregates The role of tourism within the Municipality Total tourism spend as a percentage of GDP Contribution made by each economic sub-sector over the past 10 years . Module 3: Household Infrastructure Service Delivery This section covers service delivery and infrastructure backlogs related to the Municipality in its provincial context. The overview is as follows: Household Infrastructure Overview in the Province Household Infrastructure Overview in the Municipality Number of households with “above” and “below” RDP service level of infrastructure in the Province, the District Municipality and the Municipality Households with income above the Equitable Share bracket in correlation with households that have access to a level of service higher than the RDP standard Infrastructure diamond – summary of the provision of the following four infrastructure services: Electricity, Water, Sanitation and Refuse Removal Non-Revenue Water in the Province and in the Municipality Dwelling Typology from 1996 to 2011 Growth in Household formation in the Province and in the Municipality Percentage of households per Water Infrastructure Percentage of households per Sanitation Infrastructure Percentage of households per Electricity Infrastructure Percentage of households per Refuse Removal Infrastructure Prepared by INCA Portfolio Managers Page 3 Independent Financial Assessment 2012/13 Bitou Local Municipality . Module 4: Historical Financial Overview To determine a reasonable foundation from where to start assessing the financial capacity of Bitou, a detailed overview of the historical financial performance of Bitou will be performed for a period of 11-years from 2002/03 to 2012/13. The historical data provides a basis for reflection on financial trends and ratios in the past to plot the likely outcome of future financial trends. All of the data will be verified in conjunction with Bitou. Based on the historic performance of Bitou, the Model will derive a credit score for the Municipality in relation to both its peer performance and absolute norms and standards set by IPM as criteria in the Model. This score can be compared to that of an official rating agency and therefore will provide Bitou with an indication of the financial markets‟ perception of the credit risk to invest in the Municipality. Module 5: Cash Flow Forecast of the Concept Budget for 2014/15 From this base, the anticipated future cash flow performance Bitou will be modeled for the next 3 financial years using the assumptions made in the latest Budget for 2014/15 to 2016/17 that will be approved by Council by 31 May 2014. From this it will be ascertained to which extent financial planning and budgeting for operational and capital expenses will impact on Bitou‟s current financial position. This assessment, will verify the reasonability of the assumptions made in the Concept Budget based on a comparison with Bitou‟s past financial performance and serve as an input into MTREF process. It will also serve as the foundation for projecting a sound longer term financial strategy. From this assessment, the level of external funding that can be absorbed by Bitou without negatively impacting on its financial position is determined for the medium term. This information will strategically assist Bitou to determine the most optimal mix of funding sources to be utilized for investment in capital infrastructure, whilst maintaining adequate cash reserves and liquidity levels. Module 6: Synopsis of the Preliminary Findings From the first 5 modules the most important findings will be highlighted for consideration in developing a longer term financial plan.

The present geological period has more species than any other, yet the current rate of extinction of species is greater now than at any time in the past. Ecosystems and communities are being degraded and destroyed, and species are being driven to extinction. The species that persist are losing genetic variation as the number of individuals in populations shrinks, unique populations and subspecies are destroyed, and remaining populations become increasingly isolated from one another. The cause of this loss of biological diversity at all levels is the range of human activity that alters and destroys natural habitats to suit human needs.” (Primack, 2002). CapeNature launched its State of Biodiversity Programme (SoBP) to assess and monitor the state of biodiversity in the Western Cape in 1999. This programme delivered its first report in 2002 and these reports are updated every five years. The current report (2007) reports on the changes to the state of vertebrate biodiversity and land under conservation usage.
