As the Mayor/Speaker, I believe the social transformation of the Nxuba Municipal Area can be made possible working together with political principals and, technocrats, and we can through positive initiatives change the lives of our people in both the rural and urban communities. We appreciate the support of sector departments, parastatals, the IDP Representative Forum, civil society and; management for their contribution in the reviewal of the IDP, for it is their effort and contributions that have resulted in this document. One of the highlight in the period of 2013/2014 financial year, Nxuba Local Municipality received a Qualified Audit Opinion. Our continuous dialogue has resulted in much needed assistance being provided on some of our projects. Therefore reading the IDP document is a reflection of initiatives, which amongst many, includes community consultation through Ward Community based Planning program, IDP Community meetings, IDP Representative Forum meetings and Intergovernmental Relations meetings. Nxuba Local Municipality will ensure proper consultation and partnership with the communities in achieving its vision and mission. As Nxuba Local Municipality, we will continue to be receptive to constructive criticism and suggestions as well as to remain accountable to the communities. Councillor Louisa Leonora “Dolly” Bruintjies 5 | Page Nxuba Final IDP Review 2015 / 2 0 1 6 STATEMENT BY THE MUNICIPAL MANAGER: MR SIPHIWO CAGA STATEMENT BY THE MUNICIPAL MANAGER: MR SIPHIWO CAGA The Financial Year 2013 / 2014 has been a turnaround period for the Municipality. A significant number of critical and strategic positions have been filled including that of Director Corporate Services, Director Technical Services, Director Community Services and Programmes Unit. The Municipality has been involved in job creation programmes, namely Community Works Programme (CWP) and Expanded Public Works Program (EPWP). Over 400 jobs have been created in EPWP programme and 1000 jobs in CPW programme. Several capital projects have been initiated and are underway, including the Drivers’ Testing Ground, fencing of cemeteries, paving in both Adelaide and Bedford. The improved audit report included some findings by the Auditor General and the Municipality is putting strategies in place to respond to these findings, with the support of Amathole District Municipality and Operation Clean Audit specialists from the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) in Bisho, Eastern Cape. Hereunder is the discussion on the performance of the municipality with regard to the (5) five Key Performance Areas (KPA) as identified in the Local Government Turnaround Strategy. KPA 1: Municipal Transformation and Institutional Development including: Human Resources, Skills Development, Records Management, Information Technology, Security Services and Council Support This serves as the foundation for sound administration and readiness of an institution to deliver on its mandate. The Municipality is also reviewing its structural organogram, Human Resources policies and Finance Policies. The workplace skills plan for capacity building of both councilors and officials has been developed and adopted. However there are a number of disciplinary cases which led to some officials being dismissed. As highlighted above, the Municipality has filled the critical vacancies but due to unavoidable disciplinary processes, some positions are currently vacant; including that of IT Officer, Housing Officer and Payroll Clerk. The Municipality’s intention remains to respond to the needs and aspirations of the people, by building a strong administration. KPA 2: Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Development Municipalities are required to utilize the public funds entrusted to them to respond to the needs of their communities for infrastructure development, local services such as water and sanitation, electricity, refuse removal, and to enable and guide spatial development processes. The following Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) Projects were underway in 2013/2014 financial year: (a) Drivers’ Testing Ground in Adelaide 6 | Page Nxuba Final IDP Review 2015 / 2 0 1 6 (b) Paving of Red Township access road in Adelaide (c) Goodwin Park Community Hall in Bedford (d) Paving of Bedford Town Streets (e) Fencing of Adelaide and Bedford Cemeteries Water and Sanitation services in the Nxuba Municipal area are the responsibility of the Amathole District Municipality (ADM), with the municipality’s involvement being limited to a facilitation role. The electrical infrastructure within the Nxuba area poses a challenge due to the aging infrastructure. The municipality requires the assistance of the Department of Energy to resolve this matter in future. KPA 3: Local Economic Development The Municipality has compiled a Local Economic Development (LED) Strategy with the support of Amathole District Municipality. Local businesses will also in future benefit from the assistance of various LED Forums are active in the area, most notably the Agricultural Forum and Business Forum. The Municipality has reviewed its Supply Chain Management Policy to give preference to local businesses. Tourism and Heritage development remains a challenge for the Municipality but
