This year’s IDP has broken new ground for us. It is the first time that we have put together a plan that encompasses every department in the municipality. Whilst in the past our IDP was just a Municipal Infrastructure Grant expenditure document, this year’s document includes every facet of our anticipated operations for 2011/2012. Every Head of Director and second layer managers were involved in the process. It was hard as this is the first time we do this, but we were mostly impressed by the eagerness showed by this second layer of management. They were excited that they, too, are given a chance to determine our path as a recovering municipality. We were also humbled by the involvement of the community in the preparation of this document. Starting with the Steering Committee Members and Representative Forum held in February 2011, the subsequent MTAS Task Team to the support given by Cogta. This document contains the aspirations of the community of Dewetsdorp, Wepener & Van Stadensrus . We have carved the road to recovery. For too long we have suffered lack of Vision and proper planning. With this IDP, we intend to change the situation. We acknowledge that this is not going to be easy, but just like the gospel group, Mary Mary, we will walk along this road singing There will be mountains that I will have to climb; And there will be battles that I will have to fight But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide But how can I expect to win If I never try. Local Government is everybody’s business. This document tries to confirm that. It is your document. Interact with it, critic it and make the best of opportunities in it. Page 3 1.1 Introduction This document is known as the reviewed Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the Naledi Local Municipality. This review followed an institutional assessment of the municipality’s performance in line with last reviewed Integrated Development Plan for 2010/11. The review process was thus aimed at addressing, amongst others, the following key issues: Comments received from the various role-players in the IDP process, the IDP hearing, the IDP analysis and engagement sessions; Areas requiring additional attention in terms of legislation; Areas of improvement identified through self-assessment; Identification of new projects; The continuation of the Sector Plans to be completed This reviewed Integrated Development Plan therefore seeks to achieve developmental outcomes for the municipal area by: Aligning scarce resources behind agreed policy objectives and programmes Ensuring that actions are prioritized based on their urgency and strategic needs Providing the framework for integration national, provincial and district based policies. Serving as the means to communicate the municipality’s strategic plans with other stakeholders Providing the basis for the necessary engagement between Council and its residents. This document, therefore, once adopted by council, serves as the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning and development, budgeting, annual performance review, management and development processes in the municipality. 1.2 This IDP’s framework As a result of continuous engagements between various other role-players and stakeholders in developmental planning, it was realized that it is important to re-consider the core components of the IDP as espoused in the IDP Framework Guide issued by the then Department of Provincial and Local Government. One of the critical aims of the Integrated Development Plan Framework Guide is to provide clarification on the packaging and contents in preparation of the 2011/12 reviewed IDP and beyond. It is our view that these guidelines are not meant to replace the core components of the IDP as contained in the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 and Performance Management Page 4 Planning Regulations, 2001, but to intensify understanding and clarification thereof. These core components are presented and briefly defined hereunder as follows: Section A: Executive Summary: This section is aimed at providing an overview of the municipality, its current situation, challenges, opportunities, priority strategies and targets to be achieved in order to improve the situation over the 5 year term of the IDP. Section B: Situational Analysis: This section presents a detailed status quo analysis of the municipal area which is updated annually. Section C: Development Strategies: This section includes the vision, mission, strategic objectives and strategies structured into the 5 KPA’s of the 5 year Local Government Strategic Agenda. Section D: Spatial Development Framework: This section presents a high level Spatial Development Framework which reflects the text and maps and is reviewed on a 5 yearly basis. Section E: Sector Involvement: This section presents the extent of involvement of various sector departments as well as the private sector in general in term of developments in the locality and could be in the form of a Strategic Plan or Medium Term Expenditure Framework or Sector Plan information for that particular Integrated Development Plan period. This information should be current and as updated annually Section F: Implementation Plan: This section provides a schedule which envisages all projects over a period of 3 years and includes the responsible person / department for the project and funding allocations. Section G: Projects: This section provides comprehensive details of projects to be executed during the IDP duration; this section basically gives effect to the Implementation Plan. Section H: Financial Plan and Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan: This presents the municipality’s budget overview and 3 year Financial Plan, budget implementation plan setting out performance indicators and respective targets to be achieved, linked to identifiable IDP objectives. Page 5 Section I: Organisational Performance Management System: This section presents the municipality's KPI’s for each set objective and Annual Performance Report of the previous year. Section J: Annexure; This section presents the municipality’s Spatial Development Framework and Disaster Management Plan that have to be included as part of the IDP. Section K: Appendices: This section presents a guideline of sector plans which are applicable to Naledi Local Municipality. The sector plans need not be included as part of the IDP, however, they should be listed in table format. On such table the municipality would indicate if it has / does not have the sector plan. The relevant authority could then enquire for a copy of the plan if required. Furthermore, as indicated in terms of Section C above, for the duration of this reviewed Integrated Development Plan, the municipality has to consider the following 5 key performance areas for local government as determined by the National Government: KPA1: Municipal Transformation and Institutional Development; KPA2: Financial Viability and Financial Management; KPA3: Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Investment; KPA4: Local Economic Development and KPA5:.Good Governance and Community Participation 1.3 The Planning Methodology Followed. In terms of the Municipal Systems Act of 2000, all municipalities have to undertake an Integrated Development Planning process to produce Integrated Development Plan. The Municipal Finance Management Act of 2003 further stipulates that The Mayor of a municipality must at least 10 months before the start of the budget year, table in the Municipal council a time schedule outlining key deadlines for the preparation, tabling and approval of the annual budget and the annual review of the integrated development plan in terms of section 34 of the Municipal Systems Act.

It further deals with the allocation of municipal capacity and resources in implementation support of the planning process. In essence, it is intended to serve as a management instrument in terms of which the municipality will carry out its mandate with regard to integrated development planning The institutional arrangements are clearly outlined which provide a clear understanding of the organizational structure, the different role-players (internal and external), as well as distribution of their roles and responsibilities. Firstly, since active involvement of the community and stakeholder organizations
