G. Van Staden It is indeed an honour to present the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the 2015/2016 financial year. This is guidance for future development trail for the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality proceeding from the cooperation and engagements with our stakeholders. The IDP is a strategic document which is forward looking and as a result it necessitates fresh thinking and a fresh approach to the process of preparing the IDP. We are mindful of the fact that the role and function of the District Municipality is to render support and assistance to category B municipalities for the purposes of this IDP the needs and priorities of the local municipalities as well as those of the district municipality were reviewed, scrutinized and amended in order to enhance alignment and strategic planning. The IDP document depicts the blueprint for the future of our municipality and is informed by the development aspirations of the citizens of our area. In accordance with the provisions of the laws that govern the affairs of the municipality, we have embarked upon a process of consultation with the category B municipalities with a view to establish their needs and challenges so that we can address them in our IDP and Budget for the 2015/16 financial year. It is evident that the IDP is the central point that is utilized by Local Government to guide the developmental agenda, budgets, institutional transformation, spatial planning and local economic development in a consultative and synchronised manner, in order to respond to the socio-economic challenges facing the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality communities. With this Integrated Development Plan, our stakeholders, partners and community guide the Municipality to meet the development responses of our people. We are committed to plan our service delivery, governing and developmental priorities with our communities. Despite the constraints and the accumulated effect of our historical burdens, the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality strongly believes that it is time to seize the opportunities bestowed upon us in order to define for ourselves what we want to make of our shared destiny. We are ready to implement this IDP and to fulfil our determination to better the lives of the people. What are needed now are the support and the enthusiasm of the people of the ZFM to own this IDP and to turn its objectives into reality. 5 I have confidence that together with our communities, councillors and administration, we can achieve our vision and objectives of attaining a clean Audit. Over and above this process, I wish to encourage every resident, every business, every community and nongovernmental organisation in the District to take this opportunity to read, engage with and provide feedback to us on our IDP. I congratulate my colleagues on the Mayoral Committee and Council. I appreciate your valuable inputs in creating a functional and effective IDP and for your enthusiasm to develop and empower the people. I want to express my gratitude towards the Municipal Manager and his team for successfully developing the IDP. I thank all involved in this municipality for contributing towards the IDP goal and I am looking forward to the implementation that will follow. Cllr. G. Van Staden Executive Mayor Executive Summary WHO WE ARE ZF Mgcawu District Municipality forms the mid-northern section of the province on the frontier with Botswana. It covers an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers (almost 30% of the entire Province) out of which 65; 000 square kilometers compromise the vast Kalahari Desert, Kgalagadi Tran frontier Park and the former Bushman Land. ZF Mgcawu District comprises six Local Municipalities namely: Mire; Kai! Garb; Kara Hails; Tsantsabane, Kheis and Kgatelopele. Upington is the district municipal capital where the municipal government is located. The whole area is managed by the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality, which is classified as a category C Municipality. The ZF Mgcawu District Municipality has 21 councilors; 13 of them are ward councilors and the other 8 are proportional candidates elected to represent political parties on the basis of proportional representation. The council is responsible to provide overall political leadership and accountability to communities and stakeholders through implementation of sound policies and programmes. This must ensure that the decision-making processes provide a balance between a speedy, transparent and efficient decision-making process as well as meaningful participation of citizens and other stakeholders. It must ensure provision of quality service delivery at a reasonable cost while preserving the environment and natural resources 6 Analysis: Historical Background During the past few decades the District Municipality underwent different changes of names and in some instances also changes in jurisdiction areas. The Kenhardt and Gardenia area was in the past served by the Divisional Council. Currently these areas together with an area that previously fell within the Kalahari Divisional Council are served by the ZF Mgcawu District Municipality (Proclamation 27/2000 as well as proclamation 25/2001). Population The Census report of 2001 showed a population of 202 160 and 238 063 in the 2007 Community Survey. (Census, 2001; Community Survey, 2007) Municipality Census Census % of the Difference Area (Km²) Persons / 2001 2011 total Km² population Mier 7207 7003 3% 493 22468 0.3 Kai Garib 58 617 65 869 24% 799 26357 2.1 //Khara Hais 77 919 93 494 42% 25249 21780 4.6 !Kheis 16 538 16 637 8% 2797 11107 1.7 Tsantsabane 27 082 35 093 12% 4018 18330 1.5 Kgatelopele 14 743 18 687 9% 6755 2478 8.7 Total 202 106 236 783 100% 35903 102520 2.3 Above table recorded an increase of 35 903 people that represents a 17, 8% increase in overall population when comparing the 2001 Census and 2007 Community Survey. Note the DMA has since been incorporated into the neighboring municipalities. The aforementioned table shows that the majority of the population is located in the //Khara Hais Municipality (42%), followed by the Kai! Garib Municipality (24%) and the Tsantsabane Municipality (12%). The Main settlements in the aforementioned municipalities are: Upington, Keimoes; and Postmasburg, respectively. Health Most health facilities distributed throughout the various municipalities in the ZFM. The aforementioned figure shows that the majority of the health facilities, namely the community health centers and hospitals are located in the south of the N14, the main freeway connecting Springbok and Kuruman. Hospitals are located in Kakamas (Kai! Garib), Keimoes (Kai! Garib), Upington and Gordonia (//Khara Hais) and Postmasburg (Tsantsabane). There are five hospitals in the ZFM. There are only two Community Health Facilities in the ZFM and Kenhardt (Kai! Garib) and Rietfontein (Mier) are the only settlements that have these facilities. 7 The clinics are generally located in settlements along the main routes through the municipality, namely the N14 and the N10 in the case of Kai !Garib and !Kheis. There are 52 clinics in the ZFM. Kai !Garib has the most clinics, 18, followed by //Khara Hais that has 14 clinics. Kgatelopele and Mier have the least amount of clinics, namely 3 and 4, respectively. It should be noted that medical staff are not stationed at all these facilities on a full time basis and in some cases the staff are on site only once a month. (IDP, 2007-2011) Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS are some of the infectious diseases that are receiving priority attention and that a shortage of staff hampers the delivery of health services in the ZFM. (ID, 2007-2011) In 2005 10.8% of the total population was diagnosed as HIV positive.
