THE FINANCING of CITY SERVICES in SOUTHERN AFRICA Preface THE FINANCING OF CITY SERVICES IN SOUTHERN AFRICA Preface A follow-up of a previous report published by the SACN in 2008, this publication examines the challenge of financing infrastructure in the Southern African region. Infrastructure investment in Southern Africa and the rest of the continent is of particular significance, as it is increasingly recognised as pivotal to the goals of economic growth and tackling poverty. The geographical spread of the project included ten city municipalities across the countries of Botswana, Mozambique, Mauritius, Tanzania, Namibia, Zambia and Malawi. The research involved city visits, where interviews with key individuals were conducted, and an in-depth analysis of their financial statements, as well as plans and policies relating to infrastructure and services. This project had a number of key activities. One was to understand the financial health of these municipalities, which was linked to providing credit assessments for all the municipalities visited, allowing them to rate their ability to borrow in order to meet some of their infrastructure needs. This publication, with its detailed financial profiles and analysis of major issues relating to city finances, is a primary product of this aspect of the project. Another aspect of this project was to conduct financial capacity building in a selected number of these municipalities, providing senior managers with focused training on enhancing city creditworthiness. The project culminated in a knowledge dissemination event in Johannesburg South Africa on 25 May 2011, at which the publication was launched, broad findings of the project were discussed and city officials were invited to share financial management lessons learnt within their organisations. Acknowledgments This publication was written by Roland Hunter of Hunter van Ryneveld, based on his research work done in conjunction with Johan Kruger of AfCap Consulting. The project was managed by Michael Kihato of the South African Cities Network (SACN), joint sponsors of the project together with the Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) and the World Bank. We would like to acknowledge the role of Ntombini Marrengane and David Savage, who served as external readers to the initial draft of the work. Special thanks to the city officials in Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Maputo, Windhoek, Lusaka, Ndola, Lilongwe, Blantyre, Gaborone and the Municipal Council of Port Louis for putting aside time to interact with the research team and for providing the information necessary for the creation of this publication. Editorial and design Editing: Write to the Point Design and layout: HotDog Designs 2 Foreword It has been slightly over two years since the SACN was last involved in a regional project of this nature, and the challenge of municipalities meeting their obligations in terms of delivering infrastructure and services still persists. According to the report Africa’s Infrastructure: A Time for Transformation, to meet Africa’s infrastructure needs will require an annual investment of US$93 billion, of which two-thirds will be spent on capital expenditure and the balance on operations and maintenance. Much of this expenditure needs to happen in cities, as cities are (and will increasingly be) the drivers of social and economic development. It is with this understanding that the SACN is producing this publication that seeks to contribute, in its own small way, to helping to understand and deal with the enormous challenges facing Southern Africa’s cities. SACN transferred to this phase of the project the lessons learned during previous work carried out in a number of Southern African municipalities. One important lesson is the critical need for capacity building around financial issues, if municipalities are to be capable of better financing their infrastructure and service needs. A municipality’s ability to collect its own revenues, operate in a financially efficient manner and be creditworthy is largely dependent on its internal capacity to manage its finances. In the long term, at the heart of financial health is the institutional strength of municipalities. In recognition of this, SACN made capacity building a primary output of this project. Through a series of interactive, capacity-building workshops with selected members, various areas of improvement to financial management were discussed and highlighted. It would be remiss not to mention a number of issues that emerged during the interaction with over ten municipalities in the Southern African region. We often forget that we belong to a diverse continent with varying histories, needs and experiences. In this respect, some useful lessons and experiences of innovation in financial management are supplied by the cities, as they deal with local challenges to provide for the needs of their citizens. For example, interesting practices around revenue collection and maintenance emerged. Then again, issues can also be remarkably similar. The worsening international economic conditions in the period since the previous work highlighted a common vulnerability among our diverse cities. We also all share the universal need to live in a financially well-managed city that provides services to all. To achieve this, many of the municipalities and their respective national governments need to tackle a number of common challenges. Municipalities need to be enabled with sufficient financial and decision-making autonomy to adequately deal with the growing urban demand for services. Greater effort also needs to be expended at revenue collection. It is hoped that with this work, SACN has contributed meaningfully to the body of research aimed at progressively dealing with challenges of financing infrastructure and services in the continent.

Introduction In 2010 the South African Cities Network (SACN), in conjunction with the World Bank Institute (WBI) and the Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF), implemented a project to support the emergence of a sustainable municipal finance market in Southern Africa. The aim of the project was to promote more effective city financial planning and management, better credit ratings and improved access to capital markets for infrastructure investment purposes. The project involved conducting a series of shadow credit assessments of city governments in Southern Africa and developing a customised, financial management capacity- building programme for senior city management teams. This report is one of the ‘knowledge products’ of the project and presents an overview of city government finance in ten cities in Southern Africa outside of South Africa (SA). It draws heavily on the research interviews conducted, documents obtained and credit assessment reports produced during the course of the project. The report is also a companion to The State of the City Finances 2011, which deals with the financial position and performance of the nine largest South African cities, all members of the SACN. That report is a comprehensive update of an earlier SACN publication, The State of the City Finances 2007, and other, briefer accounting and chapter-length financial updates produced during the intervening years. While the original intention was to produce a single report covering city financial issues across Southern Africa including SA, it was decided that on balance two separate volumes would be better, for two major reasons: 5 1. South African city governments are starkly different from their counterparts elsewhere in Southern Africa, especially in their legal mandates, intergovernmental financial and administrative systems, and almost every financial indicator. A single report would inevitably be dominated by this divide, which would tend to push other critical matters into the background. Furthermore, the financial and economic information available on South African cities is substantially more detailed and reliable than that on other Southern African cities, which would greatly complicate the task of using common information categories in a single report. 2. Two separate reports allow for a comprehensive update of the earlier SACN report on South African cities (State

  • Exploring Perspectives That Underpin Decisions for Southern African Urban Development
    Exploring perspectives that underpin decisions for southern African urban development FRACTAL Think Piece ​|​ April 2019 ​|​ Produced by Cross-Cutting Cluster Part of the CDKN-funded research within Future Climate For Africa (FCFA) Research team Wilma Nchito, Brenda Mwalukanga, Chipampata Musonda, Bernard Thole, Burnet Mkandawire, Tawina Mlowa, Dereck Mamiwa, Chipo Plaxedes Mubaya, Rudo Mamombe, Natsai Kushata and Alice McClure Summary The objective of the Future Resilience of African CiTies and Lands (FRACTAL) innovation fund programme was to increase the capacity of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to advance the frontiers of research related to effective regional responses to climate variability and change. The design of the innovation fund project was catalysed by initial FRACTAL findings about the complexity of decision spaces in rapidly growing cities in southern Africa. In light of this complexity, ​Exploring perspectives that underpin decisions for southern African urban development aimed to unpack real case studies of decisions that have been made in southern African cities in order to surface contextual characteristics that shape urban development in the region, including values, perspectives, attitudes and beliefs of those involved. The FRACTAL innovation project was designed so that research was strongly led by research institutions in southern Africa, outside of South Africa. Through this design, senior researchers at The Polytechnic, University of Malawi, Chinhoyi University of Technology and the University of Zambia mentored up to two ECRs from each city to undertake research. Work was carried out in three southern African cities taking part in FRACTAL, namely Blantyre, Harare and Lusaka. The research process in each city was guided by a loose structure.

It is a volcanic land of approximately 2,880 square kilometers, with sharp topographical relief, the highest elevation being over 3,000 meters. Its popula- tion, which approaches 300,000 persons, is composed essentially of descendants of old French colonists, Negroes who came as slaves from Madagascar, Mozambique, and other parts of Africa, some Chinese, and many Hindus. It is engaged principally in the cultiva- tion and processing of sugar cane. Although in all likelihood its existence had been known since the Middle Ages to Arab voyagers in the Indian Ocean, the island was not discovered by Westerners until the sixteenth century. French colonization, the only colonization really carried out there, dates from the second half of the seventeenth century. It was undertaken originally by the French India Company, which, under various forms, held the island of the King like a feudal land for an entire century. This epoch saw the first influx of settlers, the impor- tation of slaves, and the introduction of coffee and sugar cane. It was also during this period that Mahe de La Bourdonnais organized the lie de France (Mauritius2) and Bourbon (Reunion3) as eco- nomic and strategic fueling stations on the water route to the Indies.

The question is therefore being asked about the extent of alternative production areas in southern Africa (particularly in selected neighboring countries) for the range of crops which are presently produced sub-optimally under irrigation in South Africa. The objective of this study is therefore to provide an answer to this question with adequate confidence to allow the rational pursuit of this concept which could have far-reaching mutual benefit for southern African countries. The countries that were considered are Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia.

    From: Dr. Willie Zeze RE: Abstract Submission – 2015 Religious Freedom and Religious Pluralism in Africa: Prospects and Limitations Conference DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION AND ETHNIC ORGANIZATIONS IN MALAWI - PRESERVING GOOD TRADITIONAL PRACTICES OR PROMOTING NEPOTISM AND TRIBALISM? Abstract Due to the advent of the 1994 democratic constitution particularly its enactment on Protection of human rights and freedoms: Culture and language, Freedom of association, Religion and beliefs, Freedom of assembly and Political rights, Malawi has witnessed mushrooming of tribal organizations, aiming at preserving the traditional African religious beliefs and African cultural traditions. The Chewa Heritage Foundation (Chefo) and the Muhlakho wa Alhomwe (MWA) among the Chewa and Lhomwe tribes respectively are among well-known ethnic organizations through which the traditional beliefs, cultural traditions and religions are enjoying a significant respect from members of mentioned-tribes. The democratic constitution has cleared a road for the establishment of these ethnic organizations. However, it seems activities of Chefo and MWA are inter alia promoting tribalism and nepotism, in addition to being used as campaign tools for some political parties. This article intends to assess and evaluate the role and the impact of the Chefo and MWA on preservation of good cultural practices and constitutional democracy in Malawi. The hypothesis is, in spite of preserving cultural practices as guaranteed in constitution, the tribal organizations need to be watchful so that they should not promote tribalism, nepotism and being used as campaign tools by Malawian politicians. 1. Introduction In order to appreciate how in their understanding the Democratic Constitution the Chewa Heritage Foundation and Mulhako wa Alhomwe in Malawi, revitalize, preserved and protect customs, values, beliefs and traditional practices it is necessary to understand a social- political history of Malawi.
