The Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, requires that local government structures prepare Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). The IDP serves as a tool for the facilitation and management of development within the areas of jurisdiction. The municipality reviews its IDP as prescribed by MSA and other relevant pieces of legislation with greater consideration of the changing circumstances. In conforming to the Legislative requirements, the Council of the Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality (EMLM) has delegated the authority to the Municipal Manager to prepare the IDP. The aim of the 5-year IDP for Enoch Mgijima LM is to present a coherent plan to improve the quality of life for people living in the area. The intention of this IDP is to link, integrate and co-ordinate development plans for the municipality which is aligned with national, provincial, district development plans and government agencies and planning requirements binding on the municipality in terms of legislation. This document represents the 4th Generation IDP for Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the current planning and implementation timeframe being 2017-2022 and considers the 2020/2021 budget cycle. The document must be read together with the comprehensive suite of council adopted municipal-wide sector plans developed to support its subsequent implementation. 1.2 Legislative Framework The formulation of the IDP must be guided by various pieces of legislation. The Integrated Development Planning process originates in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996), which enjoins local government to: - The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) stipulates that the local sphere of government consists of municipalities which were established for the whole South Africa, the so-called wall-to-wall municipalities. The objectives of local government are set out in Section 152 of the Constitution as follows: a) To provide democratic and accountable government for local communities; b) To ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner; c) To promote social and economic development; d) To promote a safe and healthy environment; and To encourage the involvement of communities and community organisations in the matters of local government. The Constitution commits government to take reasonable measures, within its available resources, to ensure that all South Africans have access to adequate housing, health care, education, food, water and social security. In terms of Section 25 of the MSA each municipal council must, after the start of its elected term, adopt a single, inclusive and strategic planning (IDP) for the development of the municipality which links, integrates and co-ordinates plans and takes into account proposals for the development of the municipality and which aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the said plan. The IDP should form the policy framework and general basis on which annual budgets will be based and should be aligned with national and provincial development plans and planning requirements. The Constitution further states that the three spheres of government are distinctive, interdependent and inter-related. They are autonomous, but exist in a unitary South Africa and have to cooperate on decision-making and must co-ordinate budgets, policies and activities, particularly for those functions that cut across the spheres Co-operative governance means that national, provincial and local government should work together to provide citizens with a comprehensive package of services. They have to assist and support each other, share information and coordinate their efforts.
