ORGANOGRAM Page | 2 Chris Hani District Municipality 5 Year IDP Final Draft 2012-2017 FOREWORD BY EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF CHDM May 2011 Local Government Elections ushered in the new administration which had to take forth the mandate to plan for the communities with the communities. With this in mind we have developed our five year Integrated Development Plan which seeks to help the municipality focus on the most important needs of the communities and strengthen democracy. The document contains key information identifying our priorities, vision, mission, strategic objectives, identification of projects that will address our challenges and available resources. It is our belief that the concerted efforts by all role players towards the realization of our developmental goal will assist us to move progressively towards the social and economic upliftment of our communities and provision of basic services to all our people. We hosted a widely representative strategic session which, amongst others, unleashed our new vision, mission and values; and launched the Chris Hani DM Development agenda for the next five years. All these have found expression in our 2012-2017 IDP. It is our wish that our communities and citizens of Chris Hani District Municipality take note of the contents of the IDP because it is through their active participation that a decision was made on the priorities, programs, affirming our commitment to democratic and transparent processes. We concur with the view that the success of any plan depends on the implementation of its aspects. We believe that the calibre of our staff, supported by the communities and all role players, will guarantee the successful implementation of our IDP and the realization of the ideals of Chris Thembisile Hani who stood on the side of the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed and made it known that he fought for a better life for all. We appreciate the contribution of all role players including the support from the Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs which ensured that the document is within legal parameters. EXECUTIVE MAYOR CLR MXOLISI KOYO 1 Chris Hani District Municipality 5 Year IDP Final Draft 2012-2017 MESSAGE BY THE ACTING MUNICIPAL MANAGER As indicated by the Executive Mayor, Cllr Mxolisi Koyo, the release of this 3rd Generation IDP is indeed a milestone of note; the culmination of many months of consultation involving many, many, concerned residents of our district, directly and through their representative bodies. It is a milestone because this release doesn’t mean, in any way, that we have arrived at our destination and reached the end of the road. While this document is informed by a series of macro-economic considerations at national and provincial levels, it also takes into consideration the state of district economic development as the core of our strategic focus. I acknowledge the leadership provided by everyone who made it possible for us to reach this important stage, from our Political Leadership, who determined the vision to be accomplished during this term, to relevant employees of the Chris Hani District Municipality, who drove the process from within by providing all the necessary resources and logistics, as well as all of our contributing socio-economic partners. A municipality is defined in the Municipal Structures Act as the structure, political office bearers and administration of the municipality. Our organisational mission manifests in the CHDM endeavours: “To co-ordinate governance for quality service and better communities through socio-economic development, integrated development planning, sustainable and accountable utilization of resources” This Integrated Development Plan is our key guiding document in our struggle to improve the economy of our district by creating an environment conducive for attracting investments, including Foreign Direct Investments, and allocating resources in identified areas in order to optimise economic growth and reduce poverty and unemployment levels. Mindful of the rather dull economic environments in some of the key parts of the District, important sources of tourism and investments for our own economy we, in the Chris Hani District Municipality, remain determined to continue seeking new sources of investment and new avenues of intervention to help us minimise possible effects of negative trends elsewhere. Importantly, we remain positive that the process that informed the development of this IDP is solid and that we can now be firmly on a road to implement the actions that have been documented in order to achieve our strategic objectives.

Section 25 of the Municipal Systems Act deals with the adoption of the IDP and states that: “Each municipal council must adopt a single, inclusive and strategic plan for the development of the municipality which – links, integrates and co-ordinates plans and takes into account proposals for the development of the municipality; aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan; Forms the policy framework and general basis on which annual budget must be based.” CHDM’s Broad Strategic Objectives In an effort to realise the institutional vision, CHDM has developed 5 Broad Strategic Objective as aligned to the National KPA.
