MAYOR’S FOREWORD 2018/2019

On behalf of the City of uMhlathuze Municipality, I hereby present this Annual Report for the

Financial Year 2018/2019. This report outlines our performance against the targets we set ourselves

to do over this period. The report will give our stakeholders and communities an insight into the

performance and achievements of the City. The mandate of the City of uMhlathuze Municipality is

not unique to the broader mandate given to Local Government by the South African Constitution in

terms of Chapter 7. The only uniqueness we have are the different legitimate expectations of our

citizenry. Our specific mandate is drown from the IDP Roadshows we embark upon in drafting our

Integrated Development Plan, which is our guiding document in our performance. Our resolve is

based on servicing our communities wherever they live.

The current Annual Report outlines our successes and shortcomings in relation to our political

mandate as provided in the key focus areas of Local Government, and these can be summarised as

follows:

Building a Municipality that is efficient, effective and responsive;

Strengthen Accountability and promote clean Operations;

Accelerating Service Delivery and supporting the vulnerable; and

Promoting Economic and Social development.

Fostering development partnerships, social cohesion and community looking at the above priority

areas, it is important to note that these can never be successful on their own, it becomes important

that as a collective, Councillors and Officials, work together in identifying the challenges raised in

the annual report and rectify them as soon as possible. Having said that, it is equally important to

note that there are a few specific areas, which must receive particular attention going forward:

Improved mechanisms will need to be found to strengthen the accountability and discipline of

officials in their daily work, both to each other and to political principals; The establishment of

project teams across the organisation must become central to a new way of working of officials.

This will go a long way in breaking down the silo-approach to work. This project based approach to

work must be directly linked to the performance management system for officials; Speed, timing

and excellence in the quality of daily work must become a key feature in the way in which officials

undertake their work.

The overall turn-around times of administrative and professional work will require significant

improvement. Ways will be sought to ensure that all officials, at some point, interact directly with

12

our communities. Too often the single most important objective of the public service, i.e. of serving

our people, becomes an abstract idea that is regarded as the exclusive domain of the political

principals.

Finally, the City will ensure that its most valuable resource, i.e. its staff, is highly valued and

supported. Training, personal development, career-pathing, talent management, coaching,

mentoring and Employment Assistance Programmes are some of the specific interventions that will

need to be enhanced. Equally with the politicians, it is important that we focus our energies on the

mandates we have from our respective political parties.

Our differences should only be indication of a strong democratic state, not an impediment to

deliver services to our people. It is commendable to note the improvements in relation to our

spending and expenditure patterns, but we need to do more. The ever present excuse of lack of

resource might be a legitimate one, but the key question is how effectively we use the resources at

our disposal. It is clear on this annual report that we are moving in the right direction, although not

there yet. It is of paramount importance to synchronise our programmes and plans with quarterly

targets to achieve our broader goals of effective and efficient City.

Strategic Alignment to District, Provincial, National and International Plans

I am pleased to report that the service delivery agenda of the City of uMhlathuze if fully aligned to

various strategic plans of different spheres of government as well as international strategies. At an

international level, the City draws its strategic direction from the United Nations Strategic

Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs are embedded in the world’s quest to ensure poverty

eradication, changing unsustainable and promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and

production and protecting and managing the natural resource base of economic and social

development.

At a national, the City’s plans are aligned to the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. The NDP

offers a long-term perspective, defines a desired destination and identifies the role different sectors

of society need to play in reaching that goal. The NDP aims to eliminate poverty and reduce

inequality by 2030. According to the plan, South Africa can realise these goals by drawing on the

energies of its people, growing an inclusive economy, building capabilities, enhancing the capacity

of the state, and promoting leadership and partnerships throughout society.

At a provincial level, the City’s plans are aligned to the Provincial Growth and Development

Strategy, which provides KwaZulu-Natal with a reasoned strategic framework for accelerating and

sharing the benefits of an inclusive growth through deepened, meaningful, effective and sustainable

catalytic and developmental interventions.

At a district level, the City’s plans are aligned to King Cetshwayo District Growth and Development

Plan, which aims to translate the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy into a detailed

implementation plan at a district level, inclusive of clearly defined targets and responsibilities thus

enabling the province to measure its progress in achieving the accepted growth and development

goals.

Service Delivery Acceleration

Once again the City of uMhlathuze excelled in the implementation of Back to Basics “serving our

communities better” programme. The programme acknowledges local government as the primary

site for service delivery and the programme seeks to assist local government to enforce its mandate

for service delivery. To this end, the City remains a fully functional Municipality with an overall score

13

of 93%. Notably, access to critical services such as water (95.84), sanitation (80.94), waste removal

(69.71) and electricity in municipal licenced area (100%) remain relative high and in some instances

above the national norm. Access to basic services is improving incrementally year on year. The City

is still facing major challenges in the provision water especially in wards 31, 32 & 33 as well as

maintenance of rural roads. More resources and sustainable solutions will be prioritised in the

ensuing financial years.

During this period, the City continued to invest in infrastructure as a way of improving people’s lives

for better. Some of the key projects implemented in 2018/19 included upgrading of electricity

infrastructure, installation of high mast lights in rural wards, rural sanitation, rural and semi urban

water schemes, roads infrastructure etc. just to name a few. Details of all projects implemented are

contained in Appendix M (i) (ii) of this Annual Report.

Governance

Strategic focus on sound and good governance in our administrative and leadership processes

continue to be the main focus of the Municipality. The City received an unqualified audit opinion

and we are committed to resolving all the issues raised by the Auditor General in the final

management letter and put systems in place towards a clean audit outcome. We acknowledge the

work of Council in providing oversight to the Executive and Administration. Additionally, the

Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) and Audit Committee have played a pivotal role in

ensuring accountability and good governance. Our commitment to serve the residents of

uMhlathuze assiduously remains intact. Public participation through IDP roadshows, budget

roadshows, ward committees, taking Council to the people, etc. remains a pillar of our governance

machinery.

The Final Push

The City of uMhlathuze holds the hopes and aspirations of its residents. It is our quest and

commitment to continue investing in strategic infrastructure as part of spatial transformation,

creation of economic opportunities and improved access to municipal services thus creating

liveable and sustainable communities. The magnitude of our task is to systematically address the

triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment as well as faster economic

transformation and universal access to municipal services. Through Area Based Management (ABM)

interventions service failures, grime and decay will be incrementally addressed. In the remain

months of the current political term, the City will double its efforts in ensuring that commitments

made are fulfilled and that the level of service delivery is elevated for meaningful outcomes and

impact.

MUNICIPAL MANAGER’S FOREWORD

As the City of uMhlathuze, we are a Category A Municipality, a high capacity Municipality, with the

capacity to execute its mandate as envisaged in sections 155 and 156 of the Constitution of the

Republic of South Africa and Chapter 3 of the Municipal Systems Act. As a High Capacity

Municipality, we are not on shared services with other municipalities in the District, but on SPLUMA,

we opted in for the Joint Municipal Planning Tribunal, called King Cetswayo North Joint Municipal

Planning Tribunal. This tribunal includes King Cetswayo, uMfolozi Local Municipality and the City of

uMhlathuze. It seems to be working well and has cleared a number of developmental projects.

The term under review has been a very interesting and challenging one. The municipality generally

continued to do well but it became clear that the municipality is at a stage when it needs to re-

energize itself and improve on our achievements. This is particularly important in this Centenary

Celebrations of Madiba who once said, “After climbing a great Hill, one finds that there are more

Hills to climb”. Indeed, we have many more hills to climb. In the previous years we received 5

Consecutive Clean Audits but in the year under review we experienced an unfortunate regression.

We received an Unqualified Audit with One Matter of Emphasis. The City of uMhlathuze

Governance Structures continue to be very strong and highly functional. The structures include:

Council

Executive Council (EXCO)

Audit Committee

Performance Audit Committee

Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC)

Enterprise Risk Management Committee

All Section 56/57 managers have been appointed

This has been a very important year in that the municipality earnestly commissioned the Enterprise

Resource Planning project with SAP as a platform. The SAP project required the integration of 49

different systems. The whole experience was an important lesson for all of us. No municipal

employee will ever be the same again after going through this experience as it has provided an

opportunity to review all business processes and customize them to suit all stakeholder’s business

needs. It is also important to note that the SAP project was commissioned at the same time when

mSCOA has been introduced, which also necessitated that the municipality reviews its culture and

15

processes of requires us to review our culture of executing projects. One can only conclude that

indeed in local government, change is a constant.

While on the subject of change, the City of uMhlathuze (with City of Polokwane) became a pilot site

for Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF). The biggest benefit of participating in such a

project is that it will teach us to do long-term infrastructure development planning and rollout. It’s

an exciting opportunity and we appreciate COGTA for choosing uMhlathuze for the pilot project.

We feel energized by the passion of the Deputy Minister of CoGTA. We believe that the endeavor

will put us on the right track.

There are areas which are starting to be a problem in our operations. While we maintain top spot in

the country in revenue collection, we are beginning to experience problems in the rural areas, and

we continue to engage the traditional leaders in this regard. The truth is that if people consume

services without corresponding contributions, it will collapse the municipality. We do not want to be

in that space. We continue to rely on electricity as our main revenue source, and it is against this

realization that the Mayor has given us marching orders to come up with new methods to increase

our revenue base.

In this financial year, two very important projects received a thumbs up from a feasibility study point

of view. We finalized the feasibility study for the Waste-Water Reuse Project. This project is

important because it shows how we are able to respond to climate change. As a municipality with

an appetite for growth, it means we will be able to guarantee water supply for our investors. The

feasibility study showed that this is indeed a very viable project and as well as a logical move on our

part.

We also concluded a pre-feasibility study on the Airport, which came out positive. This is also a very

important project to support the economic growth of the City. We are about to embark on a full

feasibility. There are a few other catalytic projects that will not be discussed in this report. What

remains is for us to begin to discuss earnestly our space in the 4th Industrial Revolution and how we

position ourselves to play in that space.

CHAPTER 1: GOVERNANCE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Introduction and Background

MUNICIPAL OVERVIEW

The City of uMhlathuze (KZ 282) is situated on the north-east coast of the province of KwaZulu-

Natal, about 180 kilometers north-east of Durban. The uMhlathuze land area covers 79 334 Ha to

123 325 Ha and incorporates Richards Bay, Empangeni, eSikhaleni, Ngwelezane, eNseleni, Felixton

,Vulindlela, Bhuchanana and Heatonville as well as the rural areas under Traditional Councils

namely, Dube, Mkhwanazi, Khoza (Bhejane), Zungu (Madlebe), Somopho (Mthembu), Obuka (Biyela)

and Obizo (Cebekhulu). The population is estimated at 410 456 as per Community Survey 2016,

although in terms of Census 2011 the total population was estimated at 334 459. The number of

households increased from 67 127 in 2001 to 86 609 in 2011, the current number of households as

per the recent community survey is estimated at 110 503. The municipality borders a coastline that

spans approximately 45 kilometers. The N2 highway traverses the uMhlathuze Municipality in a

north-east direction towards the Swaziland border and south-west towards Durban. It effectively

forms a division between Empangeni and Richards Bay. The R34 Provincial Main Road passes

through Empangeni towards Melmoth.

The uMhlathuze Municipality was established on 5 December 2000 after the demarcation process

and the local government elections of that date. Since its establishment the municipality in 2016 has

been affected by the re-determination of municipal boundaries which changed its geographical

setting to include areas which were previously under the then Ntambanana Municipality. As such it

encompasses the towns of Empangeni, Richards Bay, eSikhaleni, Ngwelezane, eNseleni, Vulindlela,

Felixton, Heatonville and Bhuchanana as well as the Traditional Authority areas under Amakhosi

Dube, Mkhwanazi, Khoza, Mbuyazi, Zungu, Mthembu, Biyela and Cebekhulu. UMhlathuze Local

Municipality has been divided into 34 municipal wards since 2016 local government elections.

The municipality has the benefit of about 45km of coastline of which about 80% is in its natural

state. Linked to its coastal locality is the Richards Bay deep-water port that has been instrumental

in the spatial development of the area in the past and will definitely impact on the areas’ future

spatial development. There is one airport and a couple of land strips in the municipal area.

uMhlathuze is contributing 48% towards GDP within the King Centshwayo District.

The 2016 Community Survey indicates that the population of uMhlathuze Municipality has

increased by just over 22% between 2011 and 2016. It has to be borne in mind that a portion of the

population increase is the result of an enlarged municipal area following the inclusion of three

wards from the former Ntambanana Municipality post the 2016 Local Government Elections.

Table 2: Population Growth Scenarios from 2016 to 2030

From the above, the following is highlighted:

o At a steady population increase of 1,5% per annum, the municipal population will surpass

500 000 people by 2030.

o The municipality will reach a population of 500 000 before 2021 if a population growth rate

of 5% takes place over the next few years.

o At such a 5% per annum population growth rate the number of households in the

municipality will double.

The IDP entails processes through which a municipality, its constituencies, various sector

departments, interested and affected parties come together to prepare clear objectives and

strategies which serve to guide allocation and management of resources within the municipal area

of jurisdiction. The Integrated Development Plan spans a five-year period which is directly linked to

the term of its Council.

UMhlathuze Municipality implement its IDP to fulfil its role of “developmental local governance”.

Central to this role are the objectives and strategies contained in the plan, which guides the

municipality in the realm of: Municipal Budgeting, Institutional re-structuring in order to fulfil the

strategic intent of the plan including integrating various sectors (housing, land use, etc.) with

economic, social and environmental dimensions.

1st Review of the 4th Generation IDP – 2018/2019

All municipalities are charged with the responsibility to develop, review and implement integrated

development planning (IDP). In this regard municipalities are guided by the Local government

system act, Chapter 4 on community participation and chapter 5 on integrated development

planning amongst the host of regulations.

The IDP Review 2018/2019 was compiled in terms of a process plan developed and adopted by

Council in 29 May 2018 to ensure compliance with certain quality standards and to ensure that

proper coordination between and within the spheres of government is established. Council

approved a process plan for the 2018/2019 IDP process on 22 August 2017, a process that which

set out the methods and approach according to which the IDP development process was to be

conducted.

The Fourth Generation IDP and subsequent reviews adopts a concept of an outcome-based

approach which emphasises the following:

That the municipality focuses on achieving the expected real improvements in the life of all

its residents;

That through the integrated development planning, municipality clarifies what the

community expect to achieve, how they expect to achieve it and how will they know whether

they are achieving it;

That the municipality improve the lives of citizens rather than just carrying out its functions.

Credibility

uMhlathuze Municipality prides itself for consistently being recognised and awarded by the Department of

Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs for remaining amongst the top ten municipalities in the

entire province that produces credible IDPs, in the 2018/2019 IDP uMhlathuze was also awarded for the

24

producing the most credible IDP for six consecutive years, for producing the best quality in the province:

Basic Service Delivery KPA and for producing the best quality in the province: Good Governance. This

achievement is an indication of the ability and readiness of this organisation to deliver on its legislative and

Constitutional mandates.

IDP Roadshows

It is Council’s commitment to constantly engage with all the people of the city. Hence the process

plan makes provision for communities to participate throughout the development of the IDP. The

Key Strategic Outcomes to the Public participation sessions are the following:

• Identification of the real needs of all communities in the uMhlathuze

• Prioritization of such needs and development challenges

• Collective development of appropriate solutions to address such needs

• Empowerment of the local communities to take ownership for their own development

The IDP Roadshows were held as follows, Ward Committees on 31 August 2017, Amakhosi on 01

September 2017, Richards Bay Cluster on 03 September 2017, Operation Sukuma Sakhe (OSS) on

13 September 2017, Empangeni Cluster 10 September 2017, eSikhaleni Cluster on 17 September

CHAPTER 2: SERVICE DELIVERY PERFORMANCE

ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Legislative requirements

Outlined in Section 40 of the Municipal Systems Act of 2000 (MSA), Municipalities must establish

mechanisms to monitor and review its Performance Management System (PMS) so as to measure,

monitor, review, evaluate and improve performance at organisational, departmental and employee

levels. Section 34 of the MSA furthermore point out that the Integrated Development Plan (IDP)

has to be reviewed on an annual basis, and that during the IDP review process the Key Performance

Areas, Key Performance Indicators and Performance Targets be reviewed and this review will form

the basis for the review of the Organisational Performance Management and Performance

Contracts of Senior Managers.

The Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (2001) stipulates that a

“municipality’s performance management system entails a framework that describes and represents

how the municipality’s cycle and processes of performance planning, monitoring, measurement,

review, reporting and improvement will be conducted, organised and managed, including

determining the roles of the different role-players” (Chapter 3, Section 7, Municipal Planning and

Performance Management Regulations, 2001).

Section 46 of the Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000), inter alia stipulates the following:-

"Annual reports

46. (1) A municipality must prepare for each financial year an annual report consisting of -

(a) a performance report reflecting;

(i) the municipality’s, and any service provider’s, performance during that

financial year, also in comparison with targets of and with performance in the

previous financial year;

(ii) the development and service delivery priorities and the performance targets

set by the municipality for the following financial year;

(iii) measures that were or are to be taken to improve performance; ”

Introduction

The first performance management framework was adopted by the uMhlathuze Municipality on 28

May 2002. The framework was reviewed and amended during 2012/2013 financial year to align

with the best practice guidelines suggested by the then Department of Provincial and Local

Government and Traditional Affairs of Kwazulu-Natal. The framework/policy was again reviewed in

June/July 2016 to address the Auditor General finding that the municipality did not have

27

documented and approved internal policies and procedures to address the process of collection,

recording, processing, monitoring and reporting of performance information.

The Reviewed Performance Management Framework and Policy has been enhanced to include the

National Treasury Communications Directive: Framework for Managing Programme Performance

Information (FMPPI). The Local Government Regulations on the appointment and conditions of

employment of Senior Managers (Reg 21 of 17 January 2014) were also included in the reviewed

framework, since it was promulgated after the adoption of the previous Performance Management

Framework and Policy.

The most recent Performance Management Framework/Policy review was on 05 December 2018 per

Council Resolution 12944, including review of the Standard Operating Procedure to clarify the

processes to collect, collate, verify and store of performance information.

The Organisational Performance Management function of uMhlathuze Municipality is delivered by

an internal Performance Management Unit within the Office of the Municipal Manager under the

authority of the Chief Operations Officer. The Performance Management unit consists of two

permanent employees, i.e. one post of Manager: Performance Management and one post of

Performance Management Specialist.

Organisational Performance Management Process

The legislative framework as set out above provides for performance management at various levels

in a municipality including organisational (sometimes also referred to as municipal, corporate or

strategic) level, operational (also referred to as services, departmental or section/team level) and

lastly, at individual level. These levels are however integrated and interdependent on each other.

Key performance indicators have been refined in support of the municipality’s development

priorities and objectives as set out in the revised IDP framework (aligned with the organizational

structure and Council’s priorities) for the five year IDP period to ensure consistency in measuring

and reporting on long terms strategies and projects. Measurable performance targets with regard

to each of these development priorities and objectives were established and are reflected in the

2018/2019 OPMS Scorecard/Top Layer of the Service Delivery Budget implementation Plan. A

process to ensure regular reporting is in place and gets reported quarterly to the Council via the

Performance Audit Committee.

Performance Evaluation sessions are conducted quarterly. The first and the third quarter

assessment are informal assessments. Formal assessments are conducted for the Second and Fourth

quarter. The final (fourth) and formal performance evaluation sessions of the Municipal Manager

and Managers Directly accountable to the Municipal Manager covering the 2018/2019 financial year

will be performed once the Auditing of the Interim Annual Financial Statements and the

Predetermined Objective has been finalised by the Auditor General. The minutes of all meetings are

available on the GroupWise electronic document management system. The final performance

evaluation will commence once the Annual Report 2018/2019 has been adopted by the Council for

consideration of performance bonuses in terms of the Regulations.

Auditing of Performance Information

The MFMA and the Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations require that the

Municipal Council establish an audit committee consisting of a minimum of three members, where

the majority of members are not employees of the municipality. No Councillor may be a member

of an audit committee. Council shall also appoint a chairperson who is not an employee.

The Regulations give municipalities the option to establish a separate performance audit committee

whereas the MFMA provides for a single audit committee as further being recommended by

National Treasury in terms of their MFMA Circular no. 65 of November 2012. The municipal Council

has however taken a decision to continue with a separate Performance Audit Committee and Audit

Committee to allow for Councillors to serve on the Performance Audit Committee to enable

Councillors to provide input towards Performance Management related matters.

The Audit Committee relies on the work done by the Performance Audit Committee in terms of the

Audit Committee charter and receives and considers reports presented to it by the Performance

Audit Committee at its scheduled meetings.

In carrying out its mandate, the Audit Committee and Performance Audit Committee must have a

good understanding of the strategic goals of the Municipality, strategic focus areas as outlined in

the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan

(SDBIP) and should:

Review and comment on compliance with statutory requirements and performance

management best practices and standards.

Review and comment on the alignment of the Integrated Development Plan, the Budget,

Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan and performance agreements.

Review and comment on relevance of indicators to ensure they are measureable and relate

to services performed by the Municipality.

Review compliance with in-year reporting requirements.

Review the quarterly performance reports submitted by internal audit.

Review and comment on the Municipality’s annual reports within the stipulated timeframes.

Review and comment on the Municipality's performance management system and make

recommendations for its improvement at least twice a year.

33

At least twice during a financial year submit an audit report to the municipal council

concerned.

In reviewing the municipality’s performance management system the Performance Audit Committee

focus on economy, efficiency, effectiveness and impact in so far as the key performance indicators

and performance targets set by the municipality are concerned.

The Internal Audit Executive within the office of the Municipal Manager coordinates and manages

the Internal Audit function within the municipality. A Panel of service providers (SekeleZabiso,

PriceWaterHouseCoopers and Deloitte & Touche) have been appointed to deliver the Internal Audit

function.

As part of their scope, auditing of the Performance Management System and Predetermined

Objectives are performed and reported on for each quarter in terms of the following internal audit

plan:

all achievements reported in the Organisational Performance Management System Scorecard/Top

layer of the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan and the findings in their management

letters will be included in the Annual Report of 2018/2019. The information reported therefore will

be validated for relevance, reliability, completeness, accuracy and correctness.

Customer Satisfaction

The most recent Customer Satisfaction Survey was conducted in August 2017. The comprehensive

analysis feedback report was reported to Council on 17 October 2017 and is available in the

GroupWise document management system as well as on Council’s official website.

(www.umhlathuze.gov.za under the “Performance Management” link. The next Customer

Satisfaction Survey will be conducted in the 2019/2020 financial year once resources are available.

Annual Organisational Performance Information

Performance Monitoring underpins the Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan in terms of

reviewing progress regularly in achieving the priorities and delivering value for money services.

Early investigation into variances enables remedial action taken where appropriate.

The Annual Performance Report highlights the key performance measures included in the

Integrated Development Plan (IDP) review for the 2018/2019 financial year. These priority measures

constitute the Organisational Performance Scorecard (Including the Top Layer of the SDBIP on basic

service delivery targets) for 2018/2019.

The annual performance reporting on the 2018/2019 financial year has been completed and

reflected in the Organisational Performance Scorecard / Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets set in

the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan in a table format (as prescribed by KwaZulu Natal

Department of Corporate Governance and Traditional Affairs). The Top Layer Service Delivery

Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) consolidated service delivery targets as contemplated in

National Treasury Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) Circular 13 guide has been included

subsequently at mid-year following the review from the Auditor General during the 2017/2018

financial year auditing process.

The Draft Organisational Performance repot was presented to the Auditor General on 30 August

2019 for auditing together with the Annual Financial Statements (based on the interim results).

This Annual Performance Report (Tables - Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets set in the Service

Delivery Budget Implementation Plan) should be read in conjunction with the uMhlathuze Annual

Report, including the Annual Financial Statements as well as Auditor General Report on the Annual

Financial Statements and Performance on Predetermined Objectives Information for the 2018/2019

financial year.

On 30 June 2019, 84.48% of organisational performance targets (Top Layer of Service Delivery

Targets set in Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan) have been met within 95% or exceeded

the annual target. An average percentage achievement of 108,6% against the annual key

performance targets set has been recorded, reflecting an improvement when compared with

2017/2018 financial year where 78.57% targets were met with an average percentage achievement

of 113.32%. Areas for improvement are reflected in the relevant column directly in the

Organisational Performance Scorecard / Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets for 2018/2019 (OPMS

35

Scorecard, including the Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets set in the Service Delivery Budget

Implementation Plan). Accountable managers have provided comments to put performance into

context and identified actions taken to address instances where under performance are reported.

The traffic light system used to report performance is as follow:

o Blue – Performance above 2% of the target

o Green – Performance meets target

o Amber – Performance within 5% of target

o Red – performance more than 5% adverse of target

In relation to the 2018/2019 year end performance results, the final results are analysed as follows:

o 84.48% of targets have been met within 95% or exceed against the 2018/2019

annual targets set, an improvement when compared to the 2017/2018 financial

year where 78.57% of targets were met within 95%

o 15.52% of 2018/2019 annual targets were not achieved, a decrease when

compared to 2017/2018 financial year where 21.43% of targets were not met.

Organisational priorities can be summarized as follows:

Table 8: The performance results for the organizational priorities

Traffic Light Status 2018/2019 2017/2018 2016/2017 2015/2016 2014/2015

Blue – Exceeded target 40% 36% 51% 49% 36%

Green – Met target 34% 32% 11% 11% 26%

10% 11% 16% 22% 21%

Red – Missed Target by more

than 5 %

16% 21% 22% 19% 17%

It is worth noting the impact of factors such as budget and staff retention whilst continuously

increased demand for services putting pressure on achievement of challenging targets. Ultimately

the municipality has achieved savings for the financial year, maintained good levels of service

delivery (as demonstrated through comparative information) and seen increased levels of

satisfaction across a number of services.

The following chart illustrates overall performance for the 2018/2019 financial year with

performance achieved during the four previous financial years, 2017/2018, 2016/2017, 2015/2016

and 2014/2015 financial years respectively, however taken into account the increase from 37

performance indicators reported in previous years to 58 performance indicators in 2017/2018 and

in 2018/2019 financial year.

The municipality improved in the area of community liaison and public communication and

exceeding the number of planned IDP and Budget roadshow meetings. The annual target for ward

committee management meetings and community meetings were exceeded by recording three-

hundred-and-ninety (390) ward committee management meetings held against the annual target of

three-hundred-and-forty (340). The total number of public meetings held was two-hundred-and-

eighty-five (285) against the annual target of one-hundred-and-thirty-six (136) meetings for the

year, therefore exceeded the target by far.

The IDP and Budget Roadshows, Ward Committee Management, Stakeholder Liaison and Council

meetings were successfully scheduled and convened in accordance with Council’s Standing Rules of

Order to ensure ongoing community involvement in municipal decision making.

2. Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Development

(Average 103.2% achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 112% achieved in 2017/2018)

Access to Domestic Water supply

The basic water service infrastructure improved during the financial year with a total of 105 905

(95.84%) of households connected to the water network within the municipal area. The target of

one-thousand (1 000) water-metering connection upgrades was achieved and exceeded since one-

thousand-one-hundred-and-eighteen (1118) new water meters were installed (yard connections),

contributing to an upgrade in water supply services.

Access to Domestic Sanitation services

A total of 89 444 (80.94%) of households do have access to basic sanitation services. Two-

thousand-three-hundred-and-forty-one (2 341) additional VIP’s were constructed, not meeting the

annual target of two-thousand-five-hundred (2 500). The annual target was based on the 5 year IDP

implementation plan, however the actual achievement resulted from the balance of the VIP's

constructed in terms of the final year of a three year contract and as result of an over achievement

in the previous financial year. The three years’ contract ended in this financial year and the SCM

process initiated for a new three year contract as from 2019/2020.

Access to Domestic Electricity supply

The municipality is delivering electricity supply to thirty-five-thousand-four hundred-and-thirty-

four (35 434) households and has connected one-hundred-and-eighteen (118) additional

households against the amended annual target of one-hundred-and-twenty-seven (127) to improve

access to basic electricity services in the municipal electricity licensed area. This target remains

reliant on consumers applying for this service. The mid-year emended annual target from one

hundred (100) to one-hundred-and-twenty-seven (127) new electrical domestic connections was

not achieved due to less applications received in 2019 as expected over the first two quarters of

2018/2019. The municipality is in a position to deal with all applications received.

Access to Domestic Solid Waste removal services

A total 77 028 (67.74%) of households is receiving a weekly solid waste (refuse) removal service.

Two-thousand-one-hundred-and-seventy-two (2 172) additional households are receiving this

38

service against the annual target of two-thousand (2 000) additional households, mainly in the rural

wards, therefore exceeding the annual target.

Public transport infrastructure services

In provision of public transport facilities and infrastructure in the urban and rural areas, sixty-three-

comma-four-five (63.45) kilometers of rural gravel roads were established (gravelling) against the

amended annual target from twenty-eight (28) kilometers to fifty-nine-comma-five-

nine (59.59) kilometers, therefore exceeding the annual target. The amended annual target of

three-hundred-and-twelve (312) kilometers for the maintenance of rural gravel roads (grading) was

over-achieved, since four-hundred-and-thirty-six-comma-nine (436.9) kilometers were graded. Due

to higher demands by the community, rural gravel roads were re-prioritized and funds re-allocated

on the maintenance budget to meet the community demands.

In terms of establishing of new tarred roads, the amended annual target of one-comma-eighty-

eight (1.88) kilometers was not achieved since zero-comma-five-seven-seven (0.577) kilometers

were achieved. The appointed contractor has underperformed during the last quarter due to

financial reasons, however the situation is now stable and the contractor has brought in additional

resources to improve progress. There has been a remarkable increase in progress since July 2019.

The rehabilitation of tarred roads was prioritized and amended at mid-year from eight (8)

kilometers to eighteen (18.6) kilometers based on the budget and project plans. Eighteen-comma-

six (18.6) kilometers of tarred roads were rehabilitated at mid-year. The amended annual target of

fifteen-thousand-three-hundred (15300) m² of tarred roads to be maintained, dealing with potholes

was slightly under achieved since fourteen-thousand-three-hundred-and-thirty-seven-comma-

seventy-two (14 337.72) m² of tarred roads were repaired. The target was set based on the baseline

and is dependent on the actual occurrence of potholes. The under achievement on the target

resulted from below average rainfall therefore lesser potholes formed and patching repaired.

Additional achievements on the Top Layer Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan

consolidate performance indicators analysed as follows:

Water and wastewater services:

The target of 100% restoration of water supply for both Planned and Unplanned reticulation within

eight (8) hours was achieved throughout the financial year with an average restoration time of five-

comma-forty-four (5.44) hours.

The amended annual target for the reduction/maintaining of water losses at twenty-two (22) %

throughout the 2018/2019 financial year was not met. Water losses was at 23% in quarter one, 26%

in quarter two, 23% in quarter 3 and ended at 25% on 30 June 2019. Additional funds are provided

for in the 2019/2020 Capital Budget for additional control valves.

The quality of drinking water to comply with the South African national standards at latest SANS

241 (between ninety-five (95)% and ninety-nine (99)% has been achieved consistently throughout

the financial year with an average reported level of 99.3% at 30 June 2019.

39

The quality of wastewater compliance of ≥90% of cumulative risk ratings based on DWA standard

was achieved, since 90% on average has been achieved with an improvement from 87%

achievement in the 2017/2018 financial year. Process Audits were conducted in plants to determine

the process anomalies. Provision is made in 2019/2020 Capital Budget to address plants which

have the highest Non - Conformances.

Electrical Infrastructure:

The annual target of ninety (90)% execution of maintenance of electrical distribution network as per

maintenance plan and approved budget was over achieved, since ninety-eight-comma-two (98.2)%

realised on average throughout the 2018/2019 financial year.

An average of four percent (4%) non-technical electricity losses was achieved against the annual

target to be kept within eight percent (8%). An average of four percent (4%) non-technical

electricity losses was recorded for the 2018/2019 financial year. The achievement improved from

six-comma-eight percent (6.8%) recorded at the end of the 2017/2018 financial year.

An average of eighty-seven percent (87%) achievement to restore general street lighting faults

within seventy-two (72) hours (excluding cable faults or stolen equipment) was achieved against the

annual target of ninety percent (90%). Recourse challenges were experienced in quarter one has

since been addressed with a contractor been appointed after not achieving the target in quarter

one to attend to backlog and maintenance of Streetlights, where-after the ninety percent (90%)

target has been achieved consistently for the last three quarters.

Public transport facilities infrastructure:

The amended annual target of one-hundred-and-thirty-eight (138) kilometres of storm water open

drains to be maintained was over achieved due to more emphasis placed on street cleaning and

storm water pipe cleaning, rather than manholes (kerb inlets). Two-hundred-and-thirty-one-

comma-fifty-eight (231.58) kilometres of storm water open drains were achieved, however

compromised the annual target of three-thousand-and-seventy-six (3076) manholes (kerb inlets) to

be maintained by achieving one-thousand-four-hundred-and-seventy-eight (1478) manholes (kerb

inlets).

100% Maintenance on municipal owned railway sidings resulting from monthly inspections has

been achieved throughout all four quarters of the financial year.

Municipal Infrastructure:

In the IDP strategy to improve the reliability and service life of Municipal Infrastructure, facilities and

assets, the annual performance target to ensure eighty percent (80%) implementation of the

Electrical, Water and Sanitation and Roads Asset Management Plan, eighty-five percent (85%)

implementation was achievement at 30 June 2019 and completion of phase two will be by

30 September 2019.

The performance target to ensure one-hundred percent (100%) planned maintenance implemented

40

on Building and Structure as per Maintenance Plan and Budget allocation was successfully achieved

with one-hundred percent (100%) reported achievement consistently throughout the 2018/2019

financial year.

On the performance target for the replacement of Vehicles and Plant, Procurement of new plant in

terms of Capital Budget, one-hundred percent (100%) achievement was recorded against the

annual target of one-hundred percent (100%). The Fleet as ordered has been delivered, thus all fleet

ordered has been received.

The amended annual target of eighty-five percent (85%) fleet availability (including minor accident

damage that can be dealt with by workshops but excludes major accident repairs) was achieved

since an average of ninety-two percent (92%) was achieved during the 2018/2019 financial year.

3. Local Economic Development and Cross Cutting

(Average 137.4% achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 116.8% achieved in 2017/2018)

There were no targets for the construction of houses during 2018/2019 financial year due to the

fact the all projects were in the Implementation of bulk services Phase which is Empangeni IRDP,

Dumisane Makhaye Village Phase- 6 and 8 and Aquadene. For the Aquadene Housing Project the

installation of bulk water and bulk sewer services were completed.

A new IDP Strategy to deal with the transfer of Post Housing stock to qualifying

occupants/residents was included since 2017/2018 financial year. The initial annual target of three-

hundred-and-eighty-nine (389) housing units to be transferred was amended at mid-year to sixty

(60) housing units to be transferred, due to challenges experienced with beneficiaries outstanding

municipal accounts before the transfers could realise. The amended annual target was achieved

and exceeded since momentum has been obtained over the last two quarters by achieving the

transfer of one-hundred-and-nine (109) housing units. The implementing agent is proceeding with

work and it is trusted that the remainder of available housing stock will be met in the 2019/2020

financial year.

In terms of Promoting economic growth by providing skills empowerment to the unemployed, four-

hundred-and-sixty-four 464 unemployed youth benefitted through training in ten (10) technical

skills programmes presented in the 2018/2019 financial year.

The annual target for creating one-thousand-two-hundred-and-twenty-eight (1228) jobs through

EPWP incentives/projects were successfully achieved since one-thousand-five-hundred-and-

ten (1 510) jobs were created, therefore exceeding the target by far.

In terms of provision of recreational facilities and environmental services to the community, the

annual target to upgrade three (3) community facilities was met since three (3) were completed. The

amended annual target of five (5) sport fields (facilities) upgraded/constructed was met since

five (5) projects were completed. New projects are well underway for the new financial year.

In terms of development of sports and recreation programmes, the amended annual target for

five (5) mass recreational programmes be implemented was over achieved since five (5) Golden

41

Games programmes were completed at mid-year and additional one (1) mass sport and

recreational program was presented in quarter four with a total of six (6) programmes presented in

the financial year.

4. Municipal Transformation and Institutional Development

(Average 107.1 % achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 109.7% achieved in 2017/2018)

Human resources was able to meet the annual targets set for the recruitment and retention of staff

from designated employment equity groups and however still experiences a high level in staff

turnover. The municipality continues with the implementation of the Employment Equity Plan

during the 2019/2020 financial year.

In terms of the target set for employing female by the Municipality, twenty-two (22) females were

appointed against the amended annual target of twenty (20). A total of seven hundred-and-sixty-

three (763) females are employed by the municipality on 30 June 2019. This target cannot be

measured accumulatively as there are factors such as resignations, retirement, dismissal, death and

or ill health which affect the total number of gender employed.

There were fifty (50) youth appointed against the annual target of thirty-eight (38). A total of six-

hundred-and-seventy-seven (527 permanent and 150 temporary) youth were employed by the

municipality on 30 June 2019. No additional employees living with disability was appointed against

the annual target of four (4). A total of twenty-one (21) people living with disability are employed

by the municipality on 30 June 2019. The organisation to identify and categorize positions on the

organogram that can be filled with people with disability and in future advertise accordingly once

those positions become vacant.

A total of two-hundred-and-twenty-four (224) Workplace Skills training programmes was

conducted during the financial year against the annual target of one-hundred-and-twenty (120),

resulting in an over achievement. The percentage of the annual budget spent on the Workplace

Skills Plan was slightly under achieved due to one training session planned for the quarter four

which was cancelled since a training provider had to resolve issues with SARS and another training

session that had to be attended by an official during the quarter will now attend in the next

financial year and this affected the budget spent. The target to spend zero-comma-eight percent

(0.80%) of the operating budget was slightly over-achieved since zero-comma-eight-zero-five

percent (0.805%) was recorded.

5. Financial Viability and Financial Management

(Average 90.6 % achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 95.5% achieved in 2017/2018)

The reported achievements on the Financial Viability and Financial Management performance

indicator ratios as prescribed in the National General Performance Indicators and reflecting in the

Organisational performance Scorecard/ Top Layer of the SDBIP is based on the interim financial

results as at 30 June 2019 and will be updated in the Annual Performance Report once the

validation process by the AG Auditing process is finalised.

The municipality has performed fairly well under the financial viability and financial management

42

indicator. Over the past financial year the municipality has seen the economy being stretched and

this was affecting every citizen of the City. Taking into account the effects of the economy the City

has remained resilient in its quest of doing better in managing the public funds. Our internal

controls and shrewd financial discipline has placed the City in a good position of delivering services

to its consumers

The financial viability of the municipality is hereby reported based on the Interim results of the year

ended in 30 June 2019. Once the final figures have been determined the correct numbers will then

be published in the financial statements and the ratios will be recalculated.

The following are the interim results:

1. Debtors Collection rate : 99.71%

2. Collection rate in days: 43.48 days

3. Debt coverage ratio: 12.06

4. Cost coverage ratio: 2.11

5. Capital expenditure: 82%

6. Overall Grants Expenditure: 101%

Taking the above ratios into account it suffices to say the municipality has performed satisfactory

on capital expenditure at 82% (interim results) which is 12% less than the target of 95%. The

municipality has spent more than 101% of Capital Grants received from National Government. This

means that some projects which are multi-year and the progress is ahead of the actual funding.

Annual Organisational Performance Scorecard/ Top Layer Service Delivery Targets set in the Service

Delivery Budget Implementation Plan

The following table reflects the organisational performance targets and achievements as reflected in

the Integrated Development Plan, as well as the performance targets and achievements as reflected

in the Top Layer Service Delivery Targets set in the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan

consolidate performance indicators in relation to the achievements of the previous financial year as

well as reflecting corrective measures and targets to be taken in the 2018/2019 financial year in

cases of under achievement:

Section 46(1)(a) of the Municipal Systems Act (No. 32 of 2000) require the Municipality to reflect the

municipality’s, and any service provider’s, performance during the financial year reported on. The

uMhlathuze municipality is fortunate not to be reliant on external service providers in provision of

Basic Services, i.e. water, sanitation, solid waste removal services delivered by the district

municipality like most other local municipalities do.

Water distribution to the community by uMhlathuze is delivered through water purification by

WSSA and through purified water purchased from the Mhlathuze Water Board. Electricity is

distributed to communities by uMhlathuze Municipality in the municipal licensed area, through

purchasing electricity from ESKOM. Other Basic Services delivered by uMhlathuze Municipality

include, solid waste removal (refuse collection) and sanitation. The number of households served

43

with basic services as reflected in the table below reflects the municipality’s and any service

provider’s performance on delivering basic services during the financial year, also a comparison with

performance in the previous financial year as contemplated in section 46(1)(a) of the Municipal

Systems Act (No. 32 of 2000).

The information reflected below has been subjected to validation during the Internal Auditing

process as well as the Auditor General through their annual audit process (September to

November2019) after being reported to the Executive Committee and the Council on

28 August 2019, and the Performance Audit Committee on 29 August 2019 per item on RPT167436.

Reports are available for inspection.

Resulting from the Auditor General auditing process during 2017/2018, the additional Top Layer

SDBIP consolidated service delivery targets were subsequently included as part of the

Organisational Performance Scorecard at mid-year 2018/2019 review (reflected in a different font

colour – purple) in the table below. The reported achievements on the Financial Viability and

Financial Management key performance area with performance indicator ratios will be updated

once validated by the AG together with the audited Annual Financial Statements.

NOTE: The planned annual targets for 2019/2020 financial year, relating to the total number of

households provided with basic services, reflecting in the far right-hand column in the

organisational performance scorecard are based on the total of 110 503 households aligned to the

Statistics South Africa 2016 Survey.

CHAPTER 3: ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE

Office of the Municipal Manager

NI MTHETHWA CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER

Introduction

Cities drive economic productivity and prosperity. In the last few years urbanization has advanced

so have global economic outputs, noticeable poverty reduction and improved social well-being.

However, many cities still face challenges of poor infrastructure, migration of poverty, pollution,

unemployment, congestion, segregation, sprawl and other unintended consequences. The City of

uMhlathuze has significantly improved service delivery and developed strategies to drive

economic growth, human capital development and access to basic services. Against this

backdrop, The Office of the Municipal Manager (OMM) remains the epicentre of driving city

strategy, innovation and service delivery excellence. In this regard, the city continues to receive

accolades for its achievements in service delivery and good governance.

The Office of the Municipal Manager is supported by the Chief Operations Officer, as well as

specialists responsible for integrated development planning, performance management, internal

audit, communications, and enterprise risk management. The strategic role of the OMM is to

ensure a coherent and integrated approach to service delivery by all departments and alignment

of programmes and projects in order to achieve maximum impact. Access to basic services by all

residents of the city remains a priority and this can be only be achieved through good

governance and financial prudence.

To this end, the following key achievements have been recorded in terms of basic service delivery:

1. Percentage of households with access to water is at 95.84%.

2. Percentage of households with access to sanitation is at 80.94%.

3. Percentage of households with access to electricity in areas serviced by the city is at 100%

excluding infills and Eskom supplied areas backlogs.

52

4. Percentage of households with access to solid waste removal is at 69.71%.

5. Number of post 1994 Housing stock transferred to qualifying households in the 2018/2019

financial year was 109 units.

6. Number of jobs created through EPWP in the 2018/2019 financial year was 1510.

7. The city received a Back to Basics Provincial Scoring of 93% for the 2018/2019 financial

year.

8. Capital expenditure for 2018/2019 was 88.52%

9. Overall achievement of Organizational Performance Scorecard is 84.48%.

International Relations

The National Development Plan (NDP) provides a more robust argument for South Africa to

enhance its regional and international position as reflected in the Department of International

Relations and Cooperation Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013. The NDP notes that the shift of global

power towards developing countries provides South Africa with an opportunity to maximise its

regional and international influence over the next 20-30 years. In pursuit of strategically locating

the City of uMhlathuze within the global cities network, a number of partnerships with strategic

international organisations and twinning arrangements with cities have been concluded to give

effect to this aspiration. This includes finalisation of membership with world organisations

responsible for a variety of programmes and projects that will add value to the City of

uMhlathuze going forward. The City of uMhlathuze is also part of the Maputo KwaZulu Natal

(MAPKZN) Trade Initiative aimed at stimulating cross border trade solutions that will enable

regional economic growth through linking current and new players to the trade value chain.

To this end, international relations is one of the catalysts that enable the municipality to gain

exceptional competitive advantage for economic growth, sustainable development and

development of best practices in a quest to improve the quality of life of all the people of the

City.

Accordingly, the table below highlights current membership status as well as City to City Twinning

Smart City

South Africa Connect, the national broadband policy and the associated strategy and plan, gives

expression to South Africa’s vision in the National Development (NDP) of a seamless information

infrastructure by 2030 that will underpin a dynamic and connected vibrant information society

and a knowledge economy that is more inclusive, equitable and prosperous. As envisaged in the

NDP, at the core of this will be a widespread communication system that will be universally

accessible across the country at a cost and quality that meets the communication of citizens,

business and the public sector and provides access to the creation and consumption of a wide

54

range of converged applications and services required for effective economic and social

participation. Accordingly, the City of uMhlathuze has been approved for the implementation of

Phase 2 SA Connect Project focusing on extending broadband connectivity to rural nodes. Again,

the City of uMhlathuze has approximately 90km of fibre cable and established fourteen (14) free

public Wi-Fi Zones. Part of embracing the smart city concept, the city has also introduced

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and asset life cycle management system during the 2018/19

financial year.

Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management, Exchange, Learning and Innovation initiatives are intended to promote

knowledge sharing activities, effective and efficient use of resources, while laying a strong

foundation on which to build a truly cross-cutting, City-wide learning and knowledge sharing

capability. Knowledge Management focuses on how organisations create, capture, measure, share

and make use of intangible assets is increasingly important in a fast-changing knowledge

economy. Organisations have always managed knowledge, even if they did not use the term

knowledge management.

During the 2018/19 financial year, the City of uMhlathuze continued with uploading of strategic

documents on the e-platform as part of ongoing research in terms of local and international

best practices, journals, academic papers, models in order to create a repository of information as

part of shared e-platform to facilitate easy access to strategic information and promote culture of

continuous learning at both strategic and operational level.

The city also initiated and organised masterclasses as a mechanism to promote learning and

growth as well as knowledge exchange for management and staff in general including

benchmarking exercises. Masterclasses included M&E, Art of Facilitating Urban Strategic Planning

etc., and enhanced strategic engagement between the City of uMhlathuze and the University of

Zululand to promote knowledge exchange and innovation. Again, the city produced a concept

document on the City of uMhlathuze’s competitive advantage and critical success factor as part of

knowledge management and preservation.

Risk Assessment

Our risk registers are living documents in which we record the threats and opportunities which

are present or may arise in the fulfilling of our mandate.

Risk Identification, Assessment and Analysis takes place on three different levels:

Operational: Each business unit maintains a register of its risks which is used as a tool to

monitor and manage threats to the achievement of the objectives of the business unit. Such

registers are updated monthly and are used as the basis for sectional meeting discussions as well

as for tracking of mitigations.

Strategic: The municipality has in place a register which contains an assessment of the risks

related to organisational objectives as set out in the Integrated Development Plan. Risk

assessment is done annually and the document is reviewed quarterly and when necessary in order

to ensure that changes in the various environments are taken into account.

Project: All projects with a value of R10million and above are required to have in

place project risk registers, which assists management to proactively manage any risks which may

threaten the successful completion of projects.

Communications, Marketing and Outdoor Advertising

Business Function

Communication is a key strategic service to ensure that information is widely accessible

within the public space, to engage citizens in conversation around critical issues and to

empower citizens to participate in not only shaping City of uMhlathuze policies and

bylaws but also in taking up opportunities that affect their lives.

Communication plays a central role to disseminate and cascade council resolutions and

programmes to relevant internal and external audiences through proper and formal

mediums of communication timeously.

61

The vision and the mission of the City of uMhlathuze ought to be carried to greater

heights through robust marketing and promotions in order to achieve its objectives of

being a port city offering a high quality of life for all its citizens through sustainable

development and inclusive economic growth.

The Brand uMhlathuze has gradually gained a lot of traction in KwaZulu-Natal and

Nationally through good performance and clean governance and as a result, it has been

listed in the Top 5 leading municipalities with good finances in the year 2019 by the

National Treasury, thus depicting itself as a preferred investment destination of choice.

Key Deliverables

Communication and Marketing therefore plays a central role in packaging all products,

services and Council programmes then sell them to different markets and audiences to

solicit strategic partnerships for investments, encourage public participation and

empower communities with information for them to make sound decisions on their lives.

The Communication Unit is the custodian of the brand: City of uMhlathuze. The unit has a

responsibility to promote, protect and develop the brand through different creative

programmes and awareness activations. The City of uMhlathuze demographics dictates

massive effective public relations and media campaigns in order to meet expectations,

communicate services and product offering, facilitate feedback from stakeholders, sector

groups, companies and multilingual and multi-racial communities living side by side. The

accurate audience segmentation contained in the Integrated Marketing and

Communication Strategy effectively makes it easy to achieve this goal.

The City took a gigantic step to review and approve the new Outdoor advertising By-laws

provide for the effective regulation of all outdoor advertising on municipal property to

ensure the health and safety of the public and to protect the environment. The new By-

law also allows for creativity brought about by new trends in this sector and considers the

aesthetics in the City of uMhlathuze.

62

Outdoor advertising is one of the most cost- effective forms of advertising on the market.

Billboards and other signs as well as banner programs are a great way to reach the

masses where they live, commute, work and socialise, costs far less, and are more

environmentally friendly than other mediums of advertising.

Outdoor advertising offers the perfect solution to reach these busy audiences while they

are on the move. Council's Outdoor Advertising By-laws are aligned with the South

African Manual for Outdoor Advertising Control (SAMOAC). They are designed to create

opportunities for the private sector to participate in a process whereby various types of

advertising media can be applied for in order to advertise, which also affords service

providers an opportunity to benefit financially. The By-laws make provision for

organisations to advertise their activities and to make the community aware of social,

religious and sport fund raising events. This gives Council the opportunity to generate

funds, but to also allow advertising in a formal way, whereby the public can be informed

of opportunities and events.

COMMUNITY SERVICES

T MATHEBULA DEPUTY MUNICIPAL MANAGER COMMUNITY SERVICES

Introduction

The Department of Community Services is one of the largest and most dynamic departments in

the Municipality. It is divided into the following Sections:

Public Health and Emergency Services

- Waste Management Services

- Air Quality Services

- Occupational Clinic Services

- Fire and Rescue and Disaster Management

Recreational and Environmental Services

- Sport and Recreational

- Parks Services

- Arts and Culture

Public Safety and Security

- Traffic Services

- Security Service

This Department may be easily referred to its main responsibilities as environmental protection,

community safety, emergency services, beatification, social cohesion, promotion of learning and

sport participation.

116

Regarding activities linked to Environment Protection, waste management functions as expected.

These are handled and addressed as expected. Coupled with this service is a steadily growing

recycle programme, currently standing at 35% of total waste collected.

The cherry on top is the programme of education awareness against littering and its effect on the

environment.

Pollution Control is also functioning as expected. This service involves proactive inspection of

companies that are or have the potential to be heavy polluters. Preventive systems are put in

place or arrangements are made to manage the times and ways of releasing potential pollutants.

The Municipality’s strength lies in being able to measure a series of particular pollutants and

therefore manage the levels of pollution. Air quality stations are installed in this regard.

Parks Management is functioning. Room exists for improvement of ways of functioning. This

chain of work involves cleaning, pruning trees and cutting grass at community parks.

These activities are extended to road verges and municipal open spaces. Post attendance of the

Salzburg Global Seminar, consideration is being made to introduce programming in parks.

Linked to parks are cemeteries. These are well-kept, as expected. A process is unfolding of

exploring alternative methods of burial, while preparing the soil for extended underground burial.

With regard to Emergency Services, fire and rescue functions have gone as planned. Coupled

with this function is the programme of training learner fire fighters.

Importantly also, the Department does proactive inspection of potentially hazardous industries

and prescribe changes where required. There is still much work to be done in the area of disaster

management. In the meantime, a building has been bought to be used as a disaster

management centre. Also a service provider has been appointed to carry out assessments and

compile a Level 2 Disaster Management Plan. Once completed, the Plan will inform future

interventions.

Various mass participation and sport development programmes are being implemented. The

Department is being challenged to redefine ‘development’ and diversify sporting codes.

Processes are underway to address this.

Various arts and culture programmes are also being implemented, some in collaboration with

King Cetshwayo District Municipality and the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Arts and Culture.

There is an opportunity to expand on issues of heritage.

In terms of Community Safety, Traffic Law Enforcement got off to a slow start; low statistics, low

income. In a quest to facilitate change, the position of Manager: Traffic and Licencing Services

was filed. Concurrently, a contract was secured for camera law enforcement NB. Fourteen

Wardens were sent for formal training, certification and registration.

Another major development in Traffic Law enforcement was the implementation of the

programme for impounding of animals. Implementation is in line with the KwaZulu-Natal Pound

Act. The impounding process was preceded by seeking authorization from the Council and two

cycles of public consultation – first with the broad public then specifically with owners of animals.

117

Services under Motor-vehicle and driver licencing and testing are running as expected (learner

licence tests, renewal of driver and motor-vehicle licences, issuing of permits.

This year also came with the appointment of Manager: Security. This has been helpful in that it

has brought focused attention to matters related to Security.

The area focuses on VIP Protection and management of five external security companies. Primary

challenges have been in the areas of burglaries and theft. Systems are put in place to mitigate

these.

For all the discussions above, specific statistical information is shared below.

PUBLIC HEALTH AND EMERGENCY SERVICES SECTION

WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

“PRESERVING HEALTHLY ENVIRONMENT”

The Constitution of South Africa Act No.108 of 1996 provides the foundation for

environmental regulation and policy in South Africa. The rights to environmental protection

and to live in an environment that is not harmful to health or well-being is set out in the bill

of right (Section 24 of chapter2).

The National Environment Management Waste Act, 2008 (Act No.59 of 2008) entrenches best

practices in waste management into law, replacing the out dated and unsustainable “end of

pipe” approach with a new, and more environmentally responsible and sustainable approach.

The Act deals with minimising the consumption of natural resources , waste generation,

recycling, waste disposal, prevention of pollution, promotion of waste services, remedying

land degradation, and achieving integrated waste management reporting and planning.

The Waste Management Section is divided into the following two sub-divisions:

- Waste Management: Operations

- Waste Management: Administration and Compliance

Key deliverables

The main responsibilities of Waste Management Services are as follows,

- Collection and disposal of waste within the jurisdiction of the City of uMhlathuze.

- Waste minimization re-use and recycling of waste

- Skips management and eradication of illegal dumping and,

- Community education and awareness campaigns.

118

All the above objectives conform to the legal framework, through adopted Integrated Waste

Management Plan (IWMP). The IWMP underwent a second review this year, in line with the

Integrated Development Plan (IDP). Council adoption of the second review of the IWMP was

on 29 May 2019 (RPT 166872).

Strategic goals

The eight strategic goals around which the uMhlathuze Waste Management Strategy in line

with National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS), are structured as follows:

- Goal 1: Promote waste minimisation, re-use, recycling and recovery of waste.

- Goal 2: Ensure the effective and efficient delivery of waste services.

- Goal 3: Grow the contribution of the waste sector to the green economy

- Goal 4: Ensure that people are aware of the impact of waste on their health, well-being

and the environment.

- Goal 5: Achieve integrated waste management planning.

- Goal 6: Ensure sound budgeting and financial management for waste services.

- Goal 7: Provide measures to remediate contaminated land.

- Goal 8: Establish effective compliance with and enforcement of the Waste Act.

In terms of City of uMhlathuze Waste Management the following has been achieved, in line

with its strategic goals,

GOAL 1: PROMOTE WASTE MINIMISATION, RE-USE, RECYCLING AND RECOVERY OF

WASTE

The main aim of this goal is to implement the Basic Waste Management Hierarchy as shown

below, that clearly promotes that waste must either be Reduced, Re-used, Recycled or

Recovered (in a form of energy) prior to taking the last option of disposing waste in the

landfill.

Figure 55: Basic Waste Management Hierarchy

Figure: Basic Waste Management Hierarchy

119

Recycling programs are the main programs currently promoted by the City to achieve this

goal, through separation of waste from source (Kerb Recycling), establishment of Material

Recovery Facilities (MRFs), increasing the recycling rate through individuals and buyback

centres. Table 32: The following table shows breakdown of waste recycled versus waste landfilled in this year.

Currently the City is standing at a recycling rate of 32%; which is higher than the City’s set

annual target of 22% and 25% legislative target set from the National Waste Management

Strategy (2011).

Figure 56: Recycling Rate achieved in 2018/2019 Financial Year

All this further contributes to Goal 3, which deals with contribution of waste sector to green

economy. Under this goal, several programs have been implemented in order to minimise

waste that goes to the landfill site.

The local community is benefiting in both ways, by the fact that the environmental risk has

been reduced and also by taking part in green economy.

There are a number of Kerb Recycling initiatives that are conducted within the City in order

to ensure separation of waste at source. Currently, there are five areas where kerb recycling is

taking place, which are Meerensee, Birdswood, Felixton, Brackenham and Esikhaleni J1

Section.

In these areas each household receives a yellow plastic bag, supplied by the Municipality, to

separately store recyclables and utilize trolley bin for unrecyclable domestic waste.

Recyclables from Meerensee and Birdswood are collected by a Municipal bush truck to

Material Recovery Facilities on the day of removal for further sorting.

Recyclables from Felixton, Brackenham and Esikhaleni J1 Section are collected by three

separate waste-preneurs with their own transport, on the day of removal and sort at their

recycling sites.

Establishment of Material Recovery Facilities (MRF)

This is in line with the National Waste Management Strategy, the Waste Act and the City of

uMhlathuze Waste Management Strategy. The fact that waste is a resource with an

unlimited potential for job creation cannot be over emphasised. It bears noting that a

platform for role players in recycling is not fairly levelled. Therefore, the Municipality has

constructed Material Recovery Facilities which are already operating and contributing to the

community directly. These include Mzingazi Material Recovery Facility, eNseleni Material

Recovery Facility and Alton Material Recovery Facility. In addition to these, Ntambanana

Material Recovery Facility has been recently renovated and will also be utilized as an

establishment to sort waste and promote recycling initiatives within the area.

uMzingazi Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

Local waste-preneurs that were already recycling in the area are utilizing the site. These

waste-preneurs have been on site since September 2017 and the municipality is providing

them with recyclables from the kerb recycling system in addition to their own collections.

In the new financial year there are plans to install a small shelter that will assist waste-

preneurs on site to work better in all weather conditions within the region.

121

Figure 57: Material Recovery Facility in Mzingazi (Ward 1) where local waste-preneurs are sorting recyclable waste

Enseleni Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

Local women waste-preneurs from the area are currently working on site. The municipality is

also providing them with recyclables from the kerb recycling system in addition to their own

collections.

In the new financial year there are plans to upgrade the site through the addition of a

concrete ramp and a small shelter. The ramp will allow the municipality to deliver community

skips to the site to sort and collect recyclable waste prior to waste being transported to the

landfill. This will assist the local waste-preneurs increase their tonnages and will greatly assist

the municipality in minimizing tonnages going to the landfill.

Figure 58: Material Recovery Facility in Nseleni (Ward 7) where local women waste-preneurs are sorting recyclable waste.

Alton Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Transfer Station

This site is used for both material recovery and also as a transfer station, and this helps to

decrease the level of illegal dumping of green waste in the Richards Bay area. This transfer

station only takes green waste but from time to time some community members bring

general domestic waste, tyres and some building materials, which is prohibited.

Separation of waste recyclables at Alton MRF is on-going and this site is also attached to the

municipality kerb recycling system that contributes to job creation.

122

Figure 59 : Material Recovery Facility in Alton (Ward 2) where Wildlands Trust is sorting recyclable

waste and where Green Waste is collected.

Ntambanana Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Transfer Station

The site was inherited from Ntambanana Municipality; however, it could not serve the

surrounding community due to structural defects. Hence, the site has been recently

renovated during this year and will be fully operational from the next year.

Figure 60: Newly renovated Material Recovery Facility in Ntambanana (Ward 33).

GOAL 2: ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF WASTE SERVICES

123

In terms of the Constitution the responsibility for waste management functions is to be

devolved to the lowest level of government.

It is therefore clear that the City is responsible for Waste Management within its area of

jurisdiction and has to ensure proper handling of waste thus promoting a healthy

environment.

Figure : Waste removal services map showing the area of operation within the City

Figure 61 : Map Depicting area of Waste Removal in the City

Daily operations activities that are achieving this goal include the following,

- Weekly waste collection from all 34 wards, both rural and urban, and dispose

thereof at King Cetshwayo Regional Landfill site;

- Street cleaning, litter picking and public ablution facilities cleaning in public

convenience areas daily;

- Emptying and cleaning around community and business skips;

- Regular clearing of illegal dumping hotspots

The following are the means of refuse removal within the City ranging from urban areas,

sermi urban and rural areas,

- Business Skips

- Trolley Bins (households)

- Communal Skips and,

- Civil Education

124

This year all the operational services stated above were achieved, including the extension of

services to rural areas through the distribution of skips and educational awareness

campaigns. 70 % (77028) on average of the total households (110 503) had access to the

basic weekly solid waste removal service at the end of June 2019. This number is considered

very conservative considering that each household is allocated a volume of 240 L of refuse

per week, of which in rural areas community doesn’t generate a lot of waste for disposal.

The project which was initiated for conducting door to door campaigns with the rural

households continued throughout the a year without major interruptions. The objective is to

improve the hygienic conditions of rural households as well as the standard of living. This

rendered a tangible interaction between rural householders and the Municipality.

Solid waste removal services were provided on weekly basis to all serviced communities. The

scheduled routes for each community were successfully completed during this reporting

period with limited interruptions.

Figure 62: First Picture is a Rotopress Refuse Truck and second picture is a Compactor Refuse Truck.

The rural areas covered by the Rural Service Team as mentioned above comprises of the

following:

- Community road from eSikhaleni to eMpembeni

- Mkhobosa community roads including Madukwini, behind TVET College and Zimele

- Road from UVS, Mandlankala to eSikhaleni

- Gobandlovu Road to Maholoholo

- Birdswood to Mandlazini Taxi Rank including all Mandlazini internal community roads

- Mzingazi Village community streets and Taxi Rank

- Community roads in and around eNseleni

- Community roads behind University of Zululand, Vulindlela and Kwa-Dlangezwa

including Machibini.

- KwaMcebisi and Port Durnford Business Centre.

- Road from Ngwelezane to Matshana Taxi Rank including Odondolo, Ezinsimbini.

- Maguzulu to Qalakabusha including Mevamhlophe to Bingoma.

- Ntambanana areas.

125

All waste collected through litter picking is removed by refuse trucks for safe disposal at King

Cetshwayo Regional Landfill Site.

Skips were purchased and distributed in identified rural communities. EPWP employees were

also deployed to educate rural communities on proper waste management practices and

cleaning the areas, in which the target of 2000 new households was achieved.

Cleansing and Washing of Public Ablution Facilities

Public conveniences include all public ablution facilities at our bus or taxi ranks, busy streets

in eMpangeni, Ngwelezane, Felixton, Zidedele, Dumisani Makhaye Village, Vulindlela,

eSikhaleni, eNseleni and Richards Bay. These facilities had been serviced successfully

throughout the reporting financial year by the dedicated Cleansing team.

Greenest Municipality Competition

The City of uMhlathuze was pronounced as Greenest Municipality in the Province of KZN in

February 2019, won the first price and the right to represent the province of KZN at Greenest

Municipality Competition at National Evaluation. The national evaluations took place on the

03rd

and the 04th

of June 2019 results still pending.

GOAL 3: GROW THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE WASTE SECTOR TO THE GREEN

ECONOMY

Goal 1 promotes a recycling program that directly benefits a number of individuals in the

green economy, who are referred to as “Waste-preneurs”.

Continuous public awareness’s further encourages individuals within the City to consider

“Waste as a Resource out of Place” hence there is an increase in the number of Waste-

preneurs.

These recycling beneficiaries range from well-known recycling companies to small scale

individuals, formal and informal, who would not have had any form of income without this

program.

GOAL 4: ENSURE THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF WASTE ON THEIR

HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

In order to achieve this goal waste management information detailed below was spread

among communities and learners through school awareness, door to door campaigns and

clean-up programmes:

- Develop local awareness campaigns on the social importance of waste management;

- Promote waste minimisation and recycling through education system; and

- Establish participate in Greenest Municipality Competition.

126

The annual target of 20 campaigns was met and exceeded as a total of 35 campaigns were

conducted. To further increase environmental awareness and protection, the unit has

installed educational signboards. These signboards further educate and encourage

communities on general cleanliness, recycling and reporting of illegal dumping actions.

GOAL 5: ACHIEVE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING

In terms of the Waste Act all spheres of government are required to develop an IWMP,

hence it is a legal requirement for the City to have one. The IWMP which was approved and

adopted in 2017 has undergone a second review, in line with the IDP. According to the Act

the IWMP must be reviewed every five (5) years, however, the City reviews annually.

Continuous review of the IWMP ensures that changes, developments and implementation of

the plan are achieved and well accounted for.

GOAL 6: ENSURE SOUND BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT FOR WASTE

SERVICES

Within the limited budget the section has managed to expand service to rural areas, where

service was never provided before. This is putting more pressure to the budget due to

limited sources of revenue.

The Section has done survey in current business so as to ensure that customers receive

service they pay for at all times. The Section has stabilized expenditure on overtime, and

currently the section only has planned and approved overtime, but still looking at other

avenues so as to ensure that more is done with limited funding.

GOAL 7: PROVIDE MEASURES TO REMEDIATE CONTAMINATED LAND

The section has developed a comprehensive eradication plan on illegal dumping which

outlines the role of each and everybody who is within the jurisdiction of the City, ranging

from business, contractors, garden services, law enforcement and even media so as to deal

with illegal dumping and land pollution.

The composition of illegally dumped waste is normally green waste, building rubble,

domestic and other forms. The quantity in terms of percentages is as follows: 70% is green

waste, 22% is building rubble, 7% is household waste and the 1% is other forms of waste

which includes tyres etc.

To combat illegal dumping within the City, the Section has purchased newly designed illegal

dumping signboards for all identified hotspots. These signboards have Council’s law-

enforcement numbers for public members to report the culprits, in trying to curb the

scourge of illegal dumping.

Figure 65: Newly designed “No Illegal Dumping” signboards installed in identified hotspots

129

GOAL 8: ESTABLISH EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE WITH AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE

WASTE ACT

In terms of Waste Act, all handlers of waste should be registered with Waste Management

Officer. Currently there are more than 72 waste handlers who have registered with the unit,

which assists in proper profiling of waste handlers within the City.

In addition to this, all our Material Recovery Facilities have been registered in terms of

Section 4 of National Norms and Standards for Sorting, Shredding, Grinding, Crushing,

Screening or Bailing of General Waste 2017.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY

Traffic Services

TRAFFIC SERVICES AND OPERATIONS

This Sub-section is made up of five (5) units or segments namely, the Traffic Unit (TPU),

Traffic Wardens Unit (TWU), Bylaw Enforcement Unit (B-LEU), Traffic Administration section

and the Traffic Control room.

The Traffic Policing Sub-Unit (TPU)

This Unit is responsible for planning and organising for the execution of daily law

enforcement plans and traffic operations. The Unit’s functions range from law enforcement

duties, patrol function, directing and controlling traffic (point duty), setting up and conduct

of roadblocks, vehicle checkpoint inspections (VCPs) and speed detections for purposes of

road safety compliance and taking enforcement action against speeding offenders. The Unit

also attends to various calls for service received from members of the community including

responding to various emergencies, road incidents (road crashes, spillages and roadway

obstructions), escort duties, by-law violations and related complaints. The Unit also renders

assistance to mandated services of the South African Police Service relating to crime

prevention, policing of gatherings, public protests and demonstrations and management of

events.

171

The Traffic Warden Sub-Unit (TWU)

This Unit plans and executes law enforcement operations aimed at complementing the

enforcement workload of the traffic officers. The Unit focuses on the provision of road safety

education at various schools. This Unit’s function briefly entails traffic law enforcement

duties, the patrol function, directing and controlling traffic (point duty), assist with setting up

and conduct of roadblocks; regulating parking through parking control and parking

enforcements including issuing ‘fines’ or notices for parking offences.

The By-law Enforcement Sub-Unit (B-LEU)

This Unit enforces the Nuisance, Street trading and the Keeping of Animal By-laws. The

Unit’s functions range from law enforcement duties related to by-laws, the patrol function,

road safety education and assisting traffic officers with point duty (traffic control) and

roadblock activities. The Unit also attends to various calls for service including public

complaints relating to violation of bylaws and nuisances from community members. The

Bylaw Enforcement Unit also plans and executes police raids in conjunction with the South

African Police Service and other security or armed services in order to remove illegal

structures and paraphernalia used unlawfully in informal trading activities.

The Traffic Administration Sub-division (Admin Section)

The Administrative Section provides vital administrative and human resource support

function to the Traffic Section as a whole. The sub-section contributes greatly to the

efficiency of the Traffic Section. Its functions include dealing with offence data, conduct of

vehicle data searches, traffic information retrieval and recording, personnel budget, human

resource management and filing of records, control of leave and asset records, preparing the

court roll for each court day, generating court processes such as summonses and warrants of

arrests for authorisation by judicial officers.

The Control Centre/Room (Dispatch Centre)

The Traffic Communications Centre or Control Room is responsible for ensuring facilitation

of internal and external communications, information exchanges and to deal with public

queries including during and after hours. The Radio or Control Room operates a 24-hour

switchboard and is central to the departmental system of communications. The Unit has a

staff of operators (Control Room Operators) whose main function entails answering

telephone calls from the public and from traffic personnel or other external stakeholders

such as abnormal load companies, community members and construction companies. The

operations are also responsible for answering and transmitting radio messages in order to

collect information from personnel and dispatch a response to incidents and emergencies.

The Control Room also deals with emergency calls and for that purpose a 24 hour

emergency line number: 035 907 5760 / 5761 is provided for use by members of the public

to access the department in reporting any emergency at any time.

172

BY-LAW CLEAN-UP BLITZ PROGRAMME

In February 2019, the By-law Clean-Up Blitz Campaign was launched against the backdrop of

the increasing sale of vehicles displayed along the verges of various public roads (Central

Park near Five Ways Mall and Gan’s Motors in Empangeni to name but a few). The

complaints were escalated by the Khuleka sub-forum of the Empangeni CPF and culminated

in a station co-ordinated planning against crimes reported at the CPF and other forums.

Operations dealt with a variety of violations including illegal advertising and trading in

numerous gazebo’s in Commercial Road in Empangeni were scheduled.

The joint planning forum emerged with a plan for a multi-disciplinary operation involving the

SAPS, traffic officers, traffic wardens, law enforcement officers (by-law inspectors)

immigration officers, CRG Security, LED officials and Second-hand Goods Officers. The

targeted areas were Central park near the Zululand Observer, Gan’s Motors and Commercial

Road and Power Spar area in Empangeni and Midas in Richards Bay near Ritchie Ford and

Midas. The operation was a huge success and from the date of the operation, there have not

been any vehicles advertised for sale the Central park area that was cleared. All violators

found at Gan’s Motors and Central Park was served with abatement notices admonishing

them to cease their operations within 24 hours. At Power Spar and Commercial Road a

number of abatements were also issued to illegal traders. Five illegal immigrants were

detained and released upon production of their immigration documents. Numerous abortion

stickers were removed from advertising boards, power housings and street lamp poles. The

mechanics at Gan’s were issued with abatement notices and cleared the area but returned a

few days thereafter to re-establish their trade on the original spots.

However, before the traffic department could return to extend this campaign further, the

ABM (Area Based Management) programme commenced.

With the provincial Business Regulation Campaign of EDTEA (Economic Development,

Tourism, Environmental and Arts provincial department) and the ABM, numerous abatement

notices were issued to by-law violators, illegal traders in particular, all over the City including

Enseleni, Esikhaleni, Richards Bay CBD including next to Midas and the taxi rank, Empangeni,

At Home and Hyper, the door to the garage which had been open and leading to a shopping

area in the garage was closed down during the Business Regulation Campaign of the

Department (EDTEA).

PEDESTRIAN MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME

The advent of pedestrians who often use the middle of the roadway to ply their trade or beg

for donations at robotised intersection, has become commonplace. The IJS (Integrated

Justice Forum) was used to address the evident apathy in prosecution or adjudicating on the

matters involving pedestrians who beg at intersections. After the first meeting held in this

quarter, the courts began to convict these offenders accordingly. Quite a number of them

173

who now have suspended sentences as a result realized the need to stand out of the

intersection or roadway in order to beg without breaking the law.

NATIONAL ELECTIONS

From 4 May 2019, the Section was very busy engaged in security planning meetings in

preparation for and to operationalize plans from the National Joint Operations and

Intelligence Structures (Nat JOINTS) in order to assist and support the Independent Electoral

Commission (IEC) to hold peaceful and successful national elections locally.

Officers assisted in escorts of ballot boxes and other election material by police. Needless to

say the elections were a resounding success, thanks to the joint efforts of security services.

NONGOMA REED DANCE

During this prestigious cultural dance event, the Section examines numerous buses for

roadworthiness and escorts such buses conveying Zulu maidens to eNyokeni in Nongoma

for the Reed Dance ceremony. This is done to ensure safety of the maidens. The buses are

also escorted there and back as an extra measure to ensure safety. This was done in relation

to the event held from 8 – 9 September 2019.

ROAD SAFETY EDUCATION AND SERVICES

The road safety activities conducted by Traffic wardens within the City of uMHLATHUZE are

the catalyst in prevention and reduction of pedestrian related road accidents. Crime

prevention in general involves public education and articulation of public values. Allied to

serious road accidents is the heinous crime of culpable homicide. This crime may however be

prevented and crashes may be reduced when law enforcement is augmented with public

values and education and by use of the other pillars of crime prevention.

The Child-in-traffic programme serves to educate the local community and makes the public

aware of the risks and threats to their safety that may be occasioned by incautious usage of

the road network. The programme has targeted vulnerable road users, school children in

particular, and educated them on safe usage of public roads, alertness when traversing such

roadways and making oneself more visible as a pedestrian upon any section of a public road.

The programme has also organised scholars into scholar patrols in order to enable them to

become competent in conducting school-based scholar patrols. Scholar patrols enable

learners to cross busy roadways, crossings and entrances that may be potential red zones

(high accident areas) to road users school children in particular. Learners in Early Childhood

Development Centres (ECDs) and primary schools have thus benefited from the programme.

Traffic Wardens have been used as road safety officers.

The Mayor from uMfolozi municipality, Mrs Moloi from the KZN Department of Transport

and a representative of the Mayor or the Manager: Public Safety for the City of uMhlathuze

Municipality were invited to speak and attended the official launch of the programme in

Mzingazi in March 2019. The engineering assessments of the programme have confirmed

presence of safety issues around local schools namely Floraton Primary School (Aquadene),

uVondlo Primary School (eNseleni) and Mzingazi Primary School (uMfolozi municipality). The

programme is poised to commence implementation of project assessment results.

CAMERA SPEED LAW ENFORCEMENT

On 3 September 2019, the Traffic Services and Operations Section implemented the

speed camera law enforcement using advanced i-Camera (i-Cam) equipment around the

City. The project cameras are used to detect and institute law enforcement procedures

against speeding offenders. The project is implemented based on a service level

agreement contained in a service delivery agreement concluded between the

municipality and a public company known as Traffic Management Technologies (TMT).

Figure 104: Speed Law enforcement Cameras

Speed law enforcement in the City is conducted on strategic sites approved by the

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Manually operated speed machines are also used

to augment the speed management programme. The latter are placed in a roving

manner in various locations around the City. The impact is believed to be positive as

speed is one of the major contributing factors in road crashes. The impact is reflected in

the regular reports submitted to the DPP.

Two arrests were made with regard to the beggars who stand, kneel or lie upon the

surface of the public roads at intersections to ask for donations. The two were found

guilty of conduct that is likely to constitute danger to other road users and themselves.

Suspended sentences were imposed by the court.

ALCO-DETECTION PROGRAMME

In September 2019, a new programme for random detection of alcohol in drivers who

are driving motor vehicles on public roads was launched by the Traffic Services and

Operations Section. Though slow in the initial take-off the program has gradually

increased the number of drivers arrested for driving whilst under the influence of

alcohol. The programme has continued throughout the financial year.

With continued speed management operations complemented by the Alco-Detection

Programme the enforcement measures continue to positively impact the reduction of

road accidents, thus saving lives. This way the Traffic Section assists the municipality to

ensure a safe and secure environment for the members of the local community and the

City’s visitors or tourists.

TRAINING

On the 1st of October 2018 fourteen (14) of these traffic wardens were enrolled at the

Traffic Training College in Pietermaritzburg in order to be formally trained as traffic

wardens. This training empowered the traffic warden as a peace officer, cultivated basic

skills required for the traffic wardens to competently perform their duties and helped the

Municipality limit its vicarious liability for the public acts of these traffic warden. The

course also entails modules/subjects such as professional conduct, procedures to

offenders, legals (including powers and duties of a traffic warden), anti-corruption,

financial aspects and traffic control (point duty) etc.

Most of these traffic wardens completed the course on the 26th

of October 2018 and one

only completed it in May 2019. Having lost one to untimely death and with one not

completing the course, only 12 have passed and completed the course. They are now

registered and competent traffic wardens and may be fully utilized in the enforcement of

traffic laws within the scope of a traffic warden.

ANIMAL IMPOUNDMENT

KZNCOGTA has circulated the urgent requirement, to All municipalities, to establish a

Pound or conclude a shared service agreement with other Municipalities or entity to

establish a Pound, and directed to:

Adopt and implement a Pound Bylaw by way of a Council Resolution,

Promulgate the relevant bylaw in the Provincial Gazette in accordance with the

provisions of section 13 of the Systems Act,

Amend their 2018/2019 Integrated Development Plans to include Municipal Pounds

in the said Plans, in the event that the establishment of a Municipal Pound does not

currently feature in the approved Integrated Development Plan,

Allocate a budget for the establishment of a Municipal Pound or a shared service

Municipal Pond, in the Adjustment Estimate of the relevant Municipality,

Establish an operational Pound or shared service pound with another Municipality

or entity.

The establishment of an operational Municipal Pound is a priority on the Agenda of the

Justice, Crime Prevention, and Security (JCPS) Executive Council Cluster, as a result of,

amongst others, the fact that stray animals wander onto municipal roads and provincial

highways, resulting in fatal accidents.

In the meantime, City of uMhlathuze has signed an SLA with a Service Provider effective

1 December 2018, concerning the impounding of stray and abandoned animals.

Keeping in line with legislation, Eshowe animal pound was the closest pound to the

municipality with which an agreement could be considered.

In June 2019, an extensive awareness campaign was launched to augment the IDP

consultations which were conducted in May 2019 on the subject of stray and untended

animals. This campaign targeted farmers or stock owners in the main. At completion,

thereof the impoundment of animals began. Two cows and a bull were seized and

impounded when they were found stray and untended in June 2019. The animals are

currently in the pound in Eshowe.

Special Projects

The Licensing section will be establishing a work station at the eSikhaleni Service Centre. The

services offered will be limited to motor vehicle renewals and enquiries only. This will include

a licensing work station, helpdesk and supervisors office.

The community will benefits from the expansion of services which will allow them to access

to such services on their door step. The municipality on the other hand may benefit with

addressing the complaint of long queues at its current licensing offices.

The project should be finalised by the end of August 2019. Department of Transport (DOT)

has welcomed the initiative and committed their resources to the project. April 2019, DOT

inspectors visited the site for the purpose of assessing of the premises and workstations. The

approval of the workstations was subjected to whether it meets the Department of Transport

standards for the installation of licensing equipment. Should the approval be granted, it will

then be gazetted.

The assessment was successful with some minor alterations identified of which the Project

Manager was able to fix without any delays. Currently the municipality are waiting for the

equipment, from DOT to be delivered and installed.

Office Bearers. We have a legislated mandate from PSIRA Act 56 OF 2001, MISS document of

1996 (miss) and Criminal procedure act 51 of 1977. We also deal with illegal occupation of

Municipality land issues and demolitions if there is a Court order. We also deal with

enforcement of bylaws. At times we are affected by community protests whereby protesters

end up coming to the civic and demand to see POB”S violently. We are managing those

situations by the help of CRG and the Police.

*This team has assisted the SAPS on numerous occasions during the night with raids in the

CBD areas with great success and with many arrests made with the assistance of the police.

This varies from the confiscation of drugs and the arrest of illegal immigrants and arrest of

wanted criminals and various other issues. This works was done at no additional cost to

Council and was done as part of their social responsibility commitments. The SAPS was

assisted 34 times with operations during this period.

Beach Protection

This team is also doing Beach protection and additional security is provided in this regard

over the Festive season. This is being done with great success. During festive seasons we

always have a lot of visitors and tourists in our beaches so SAPS cannot fight crime alone

they are assisted by CRG to fight crime. There are many successes because crime rate is

rising during festive.

Cattle Control

Council contracted security guards have also now started to assist in the newly formed

system of the impounding of cattle and stray animals in the suburbs in terms of the Bylaws.

Four guards are being utilized at a time on an ad hoc basis if and when required. During the

day they patrol the suburbs in Richards Bay and other areas on bicycles to detect cattle. The

traffic Section respond to the call of stray catlle, which is then removed by the vehicles and

trailer being that is used to impound cattle.

Bicycle Project

The Security Section has also started up a bicycle patrolling project in the suburbs in liaison

with the Police and a private security company is managing the project on and is assisting

the bicycle patrols with back-up armed response vehicles if and when required.

192

This is very successful so far and challenges are being handled accordingly and it will be

dealt with when more finances are available .The Security company is working hand in hand

with the police and focussed on “danger “areas in certain suburbs as in Esikhaleni,

Ngwelezane, Vulindlela and Nseleni, this have great success and it has been reported that

crime reduced significantly in those areas since their introduction. The bicycle patrols are

focussing on the areas identified by the Police as “hot spot “areas and members then act in

numbers when necessary. They are supported by armed response vehicles to respond to

incidents at the time it happens. The security company have a device to locate cyclists while

on patrol their whereabouts. At the N2 nearby Esikhaleni the s a hiking spot used by

community to hike to Durban, that spot is identified as a hot spot whereby people are

robbed their belongings daily. We have deployed a static vehicle on daily basis to protect the

community, currently the crime has dropped. This company also assist y doing random

searches at school and assisting and school bullying, drug possession and use as well as

MUINICIPAL RAILWAY SIDINGS

The Municipality owns and maintains 17 kilometres of rail sidings. A Rail Safety Permit is

annually applied for, of which one of the conditions is that Council must compile a quarterly

report which is sent to the Rail Safety Regulator, a body responsible for the safe operation of

all the Country’s rails on behalf of Transnet. The current permit which has been renewed is

valid from 28 February 2018 to 28 February 2019.

All the funds required to maintain the sidings are paid by the respective industrial and

commercial land owners whose property is adjacent to the rail tracks. These businesses are

levied once a year based on the previous year’s maintenance expenses incurred by Council

on a pro-rata basis depending on the size of their respective properties.

In order to comply with the Rail Safety Permit conditions, monthly inspections need to be

carried out on the sidings, resulting in maintenance work that has to be carried out. The

latest maintenance schedule resulting from the inspections.

Currently, the maintenance work is being carried out on Council's behalf by WES Railway

Construction appointed as from 01 June 2018 for the three-year contract overseen by R & H

Rail Consultants. The contractor is responsible for all daily inspections for the municipal rails

and also attends railway maintenance matters. Once a month the risk assessment inspections

are conducted with the representative from Transnet, R & H Rail Consultants, WES Railway

Construction and uMhlathuze Municipality. The contractor has done the maintenance of

12,873 km railway tracks and 32 sets of turnouts for this quarter.

WATER AND SANITATION SERVICES

The Water and Sanitation Services Section in the City of uMhlathuze has the following sub -

sections:

- Infrastructure Maintenance

- Scientific Services

- Water Demand Management, Planning and Strategy

- Customer Services, Retail and Marketing

KEY FACTS OF WATER AND SANITATION BUSINESS

The City of uMhlathuze in its capacity as the Water Services Authority and juristic entity is

compelled by the following acts:

Water Services Act 107 of 1997

To provide for the rights of access to basic water supply and basic sanitation

RECOGNISING the rights of access to basic water supply and basic sanitation necessary to

ensure sufficient water and an environment not harmful to health or well-being,

RECOGNISING that in striving to provide water supply services and sanitation services, all

spheres of Government must observe and adhere to the principles of co-operative

government,

RECOGNISING that the provision of water supply services and sanitation services, although

an activity distinct from the overall management of water resources, must be undertaken in a

manner consistent with the broader goals of water resource management;

ENSURING that the quality of the city’s water resources, portable water and wastewater

systems are continually monitored in an endeavour to maintain quality and evaluate against

set standards/specifications/guidelines.

220

Water Services Bylaws

The Water Services Act 108 of 1997 stipulates that Water Services Authorities and local

authorities need have the necessary Water Services Policies and Water Services By-laws in

place.

Bylaws Description

Water Services

Bylaw

DMS 836540

Review in June 2014. The Water Services Act 108 of 1997 stipulates

that Water Services Authorities and local authorities need to have the

necessary bylaws implemented and review regularly.

Infrastructure Maintenance: relates to potable water distribution and sewer networks.

The infrastructure Maintenance is responsible for Operation and Maintenance of all Water

and Wastewater delivery infrastructure, including customer liaison and financial controls.

Infrastructure Maintenance also provides all in-house capital funded infrastructure

development. uMhlathuze Municipality owns and operates infrastructure that it has built,

upgraded and inherited since its establishment.

Section 57(5) of the Municipal Systems Act and the Performance Regulations gazetted in

Notice No 805 as published on 1 August 2006, provides that performance objectives must be

based on Key Performance Indicators as set out in the Municipality’s Integrated

Development Plan.

The key performance areas in terms of the Infrastructure Maintenance Section as prescribed

in the Plan are as follows:

Operations and Maintenance - Potable water Infrastructure Network.

Operations and Maintenance - Sanitation Infrastructure Network.

2.1 Operations and Maintenance – Water and Sanitation infrastructure network

2.1.1 Water reticulation network

221

Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes installed from the early 1970s at the City of uMhlathuze’s water

network are used to reticulate water to the community. AC pipes were installed mainly

because they were affordable, non-corroding alternative to metallic pipes in areas prone to

corrosion.

AC pipes deteriorate as a result of a variety of factors, including working environment,

operational conditions over the years with little or no maintenance attention and when

stresses such as pressure and soil bearing exceed their strength, consequently they fail. Due

to the variability in the deterioration rate of AC pipes, the condition of AC pipes is of utmost

importance.

AC pipes deteriorate by degradation depth (thickness) of the inner and outer walls, thus

compromising the overall strength of the pipe to an extent that the pipe size itself

contributes to breakages if differential pressures between internal pressures due to water

and soil bearing are not in equilibrium. In other words, factors such as vibrations can cause a

tilt from the equilibrium, thus posing stress to the already deteriorated pipe.

Pipe degradation depths are correlated with pipe residual strengths, microstructure

characteristics, pipe age, water quality, and flow dynamics due to unevenly eroded internal

surface of the pipe and soil properties.

Listed below is the range of internal degradation with respect to AC pipes:

- Water with low aggressiveness index.

- Soft water or water with low alkalinity

- Soil movement especially to small diameter pipes as AC pipes are extremely

brittle when considering the mechanical property.

- Furthermore, constructed structures on pipe servitudes or grounds compromise

the integrity of the AC pipe. Therefore, re-routing of pipes is required.

Sewer reticulation network

There are two causes of blockages and collapse or failure of an Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes

in a sewer system:

Introduction of foreign unsolicited objects into the sewer system, such as through open

manholes covers.

Corrosion due to hydrogen sulphide.

Open manholes have been a consequence of theft of steel covers, vandalism of concrete

covers and effects of hydrogen sulphide on the concrete covers. Also, due to open

manholes, sand is introduced into sewer systems.

222

Since most sewer manholes are constructed from concrete, bricks and mortar, hydrogen

sulphide attacks mortar thus resulting in a weakened or compromised manhole structure,

resulting in the bricks falling into the system.

Procurement of polymer plastic covers is on-going to curb factors that result in open

manholes.

The water and sanitation section: infrastructure maintenance (urban & rural) is divided into

three following area offices:

Northern (Richardsbay and surroundings)

Southern (eSikhaleni, Dlangezwa and surroundings)

Western (eMpangeni, Ngwelezane and surroundings)

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS – INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE

Repairs at the Aquadene1 Sewer Pump Station

On 13 February 2019, there was a sewer overflow in Brackenham area that flooded inside the

property no. 40 Filigree Loop Street. After investigation it was found that there was a broken

gravitation sewer pipe within Aquadene 1 pump station which resulted in sewer spillages in

most of the properties along Filigree Loop, Fish Tail, Felt Fern and Frondosa streets. As part

of corrective measures two new 6m deep sewer manholes were rebuilt and the 160mm

sewer gravity pipeline was repaired.

The area has been experiencing low water pressure whereas other areas of Ward 18 & 19

portions were not receiving water at all. In order to improve the situation, Water Tankers had

to be deployed. The Municipality has used this service for more than three years and has

proven to be unsustainable due to the escalation cost and due to the ever increasing

number of new houses per annum. Water Tankers Service is currently being used and cost in

a region of millions of rands per Annum. The consideration was therefore taken that a long

term solution was urgently and critically warranted.

The area consists of approximately 600 household with an estimated population of 4800

people. The pipeline consists of 250 diameter Bulk pipeline which will cater for existing

demand inclusive of growth and development of the area.

Supply and Install 250mm Sewer Line at Hillview

232

The Hillview Pumpstation collect waste water from Hillview, CBD, Qalakabusha and Tronox, it

then pumps the waste water through a 250 mm rising main which runs underneath R34 [DOT

road, below Hillview suburb} and deposit the waste water next to the bus rank in town. The

pipe failure underneath R34 was of great concern to the road users, environment and health

risk to the public and animals lives around that area.

The rising main pipe failure needed urgent attention to prevent further spillage and damages

to the environment.

Implementation of the approved business plan –

Council registered a combined rural sanitation business plan amounting to R493 million with

MIG and this program is a continuous set up which targets the wiping off of the backlogs in

all rural areas. It be noted that before we inherited a portion of Ntamabanana wards, we

conducted a study and out of the total 46 873 backlogs were initially registered, the city has

242

covered 35 958 households and the current phase consists of 5000 households has been

underway and was completed in May 2019.

It should also be noted that the more council provides these basic level of services more

people move to these areas and we end up having to cover more infill households than

initially planned.

PART 2: Monitoring

Define the monitoring approach; map the process (on what basis is data collected; issues

around data sources and data collection methodologies). Who is responsible for each of the

tasks within the map?

How is data analysed and reported for implementation purposes –

Through the Water Planning Manager/WSA Manager and the PMU manager together with

the project leader or designer, the reports are read in conjunction with the drawings versus

the demand on that area(s) and taking into account the future demand/ growth, the Water

Planning Manager/WSA Manager or the PMU manager must call for adjustment on the

proposal or approve based on the fact that it meets the community’s needs. From there it

must be carried into the implementation stage.

The consumption of Municipal installations amounted to a total value 16 608 857 kWh for

2018/2019 (until June 2019) .

256

All areas are experiencing an increase in Energy losses. The Revenue Protection section

attempts to investigate a many as possible installations for tampering it is a challenge as

there are only two teams for the entire 36 082 prepayment customer base and that team

spends 3 working days a week attending to audits for Clearance Certificate applications

(houses being sold). Monthly readings will be taking with the new tender for meter readings

and captured in SAP.

Although the national average is 10% and the overall average of the City is 8% it is a concern

that some areas are exceeding the 10% national average.

Shows that the medium voltage (MV) network was affected mostly due to on-going

construction activities, where it was found that underground cables were damaged while

digging. Other equipment on the MV network were vandalised by people who sell copper to

scrap yards.

Figure 6: Annual Unplanned Electrical Breakdowns for the LV Network

Shows a bar graph representation of electrical breakdowns that were experienced from the

1st of July 2018 to the 30th of June 2019. The graph depicts that in the low voltage (LV)

network, there was a high number of breakdowns. The breakdowns were caused mostly by

illegal connections in low income (rural) areas. Illegal connections affected electrical

equipment such as overhead lines (OHL), ring main units (RMUs) and meters.

PROCESS CONTROL & PUBLIC LIGHTING

The section is responsible for monitoring and control of water reservoirs, sewer and water pump

stations as well as traffic lights, street lights and fleet management systems.

The following are primary sub sections for the above mentioned divisions:

Process Control Systems

Traffic Signals

Public Lighting

The department seek to consider a traditional maintenance approach, considering the following 3

types of maintenance which are differentiated by the nature of the tasks that were performed:

Corrective maintenance: Where the set of tasks was destined to correct the defects that were to be

found in the different equipment on day to day approach.

Preventive Maintenance: Department were to maintain a level of certain service on equipment,

calibration and the interventions of their vulnerabilities in the most opportune time. It is used to be

a systematic character, that is, the equipment is inspected even if it has not given any symptoms of

having a problem.

Predictive Maintenance: It pursues constantly know and report the status and operational capacity

of the installations by knowing the values of certain variables, which represent such state and

operational ability.

Process Control Systems

Technical Operations Centre monitors all Council’s Pump stations and reservoirs’ behaviour

indicating the level of each reservoir also status of each pump station. The real time readings are

logged every single day and averaged per specific intervals. The table below indicates the event logs

for analogue signals in percentage showing the monthly average of each reservoir. This is just to

report to Council that all instruments that were installed to specific reservoirs are up and running.

The real time readings can be drawn at all times.

276

Traffic Signals

A large part of the work load is repair or replacement of traffic control equipment before it fails. The

City of uMhlathuze (CoU) conducts semi-annual inspections of controller and signal equipment,

intersection hardware, and auxiliary equipment such as traffic detection loops.

Traffic corrective maintenance is carried out after failure detection and is aimed at restoring a traffic

intersection to an appropriate condition, whilst reactive maintenance is performed after a

breakdown so a traffic intersection can perform its intended function. Rapid repair of equipment

that has broken down is critical to ensure uninterrupted operations, minimal downtime and optimal

operability. The CoU’s goal is a response to traffic signal service requests/failure within one hour of

notification.

Typical problems/requests that warrant an immediate response from signal maintenance crews

include:

All lights out due to power outage

Signals flashing red in all directions

Loose or turned signal heads

Damage caused by vehicles

Burned out lamps

Timing Problems – long red or short green

Lamp burnouts

Controller malfunctions

Detection failures

Physical damage

Traffic progression problems

Off-hour responses to safety risks at intersections

Business unit (operations and maintenance section)

Main Function

Process Control Systems, Traffic Lights and Public Lighting covers the maintenance of the following

assets:

89 traffic cubicles (controllers)

FLEET MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION

The Fleet and Transportation Section is a support unit for the maintenance/ servicing and repair of

the entire municipal fleet. The fleet consists of vehicles and “yellow plant”

The section is responsible for submitting the Capital budget requirements for the replacement of

fleet on an annual basis.

Departments are responsible for the daily operation, management and control of all Fleet that have

been allocated to them and all Fleet requiring repairs and maintenance are booked in by the

Departments.

Departments are responsible for the, management and control of all vehicles and plant allocated to

them.

Where possible all new Vehicles and Plant are procured with a Maintenance Plan of 160 000km or 7

years.

The maintenance plans are paid to the suppliers at the time the vehicles or plant are procured, this

to ensure that they are maintained by the agents for at least a 5 or 7 year period.

284

Certain vehicle manufacturers do not offer a 160 000 km/7 years maintenance plan, in such cases

the maximum plan available for eg. 5 years/120 000 km maintenance plan will be procured.

Special controls are required to ensure that Maintenance Plans and Warranties are not forfeited and

therefore the Control of Services of Vehicles on Maintenance Plan has been monitored throughout

the year jointly with the user departments who are beneficiaries in this case.

The task of monitoring service schedules of fleet on maintenance plans are managed by the official

vehicle pool clerk, who obtains mileages on a monthly basis from the user departments in order to

book vehicles for services.

Maintenance plans do not cover any items damaged that can be attributed to abuse.

Departments are required to submit incident reports where premature failure of a component is

detected, or damages to vehicles occur.

Achievements:

Fleet tracking system:

A contract has been entered with the service provider, Fleet Horizons, for the monitoring and

tracking of Council fleet.

The installation of trackers in municipal fleet has been an outstanding item for several years, and the

lack of a tracking system has made it difficult to manage the fleet.

Since the installation of trackers , the incidents of vehicle theft has reduced drastically.

The tracking history is also being used as a investigation tool in cases where suspected vehicle abuse

has been detected.

Staff development:

Two Mechanical Assistants that were sent on training, successfully completed the course and

obtained their qualifications as Mechanics.

The two staff members were recently promoted from Mechanical Assistant to Mechanics, this

success should serve as a motivation for fellow staff members.

285

Capital Projects

The capital projects consist of the fleet replacement and additional requirements as identified to

render service delivery for the 2018/2019 financial year and onwards.

The following vehicles and plant were procured:

Graders X 2

Tractor loader backhoe X 1

Refuse compactors X 6

The Land Use Management Unit daily activities involve site inspections, processing of planning

applications and scrutinising of building plans. These daily activities are undertaken in line with the

291

organisational Integrated Development Plan (IDP) Strategic Objectives, National and Provincial

Policy Framework and the City Development Department Key Performance Indicators.

1.1.1 Development Control

Responsibilities and Achievements of Development Control Sub-Unit

The main responsibility of Development Control Sub-Unit is to promote orderly development

through enforcement and management of land use within the municipal jurisdiction using the

Municipal Land Use Scheme and the Planning By-law. As such, the Sub-Unit is responsible for

processing the following planning applications:

o Consent Applications;

o Formal Authority Applications; and

o Building Line Relaxation Applications.

The relevant and applicable policy and legislative framework applicable are:

o uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017, as amended;

o Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (Act No. 16 of 2013); and

o National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, 1977, as amended (Act No. 107 of

1977).

uMhlathuze Single Land Use Scheme

The Land Use Scheme is a development control instrument used by the Municipality to regulate

land uses and promote orderly development within its jurisdiction. In January 2014, the municipality

implemented the first Land Use Scheme, which replaced the old Town Planning Schemes of

Richards Bay and Empangeni, which were in operation before the amalgamation of Borough of

Richards Bay and Borough of Empangeni in 2001.

The old Town Planning Schemes were developed in terms of the Natal Town Planning Ordinance,

1949 (Act No. 27 of 1949) and their main focus of implementation and development control was in

the urban areas of Richards Bay and Empangeni offering very little, if any, development control in

the Former R293 Townships and Traditional Authority Areas (Rural Areas).

The current Municipal Land Use Scheme, which has been in operation since January 2014, was

developed in line with the KwaZulu-Natal Planning and Development Act, 2008 (Act No. 6 of 2008)

well known as the PDA. The main objective PDA was to assist municipalities with guidelines and

provisions for the development of Wall to Wall Scheme, which was a paradigm shift from the Town

Planning Scheme concept with a heavy urban (town) bias to a Land Use Scheme that covers the

entire municipal area. This legislative change led to the development and adoption of the current

Municipal Land Use Scheme, which has been in operation since January 2014, later amended and

effected on June 2015.

In line with the provisions of the National Development Plan, South African saw fit to introduce a

new planning act that will address Spatial Planning and Land Use Management matters for the

292

entire country. The single town planning act is called Spatial Planning and Land Use Management

Act, 2013 (Act No. 16 of 2013), well known as SPLUMA.

SPLUMA is a national planning act that was assented in August 2013 and became effect on 1 July

2015. The main focus of SPLUMA and its Regulations is to promote Spatial Justice, inter alia, to

provide for the development of single Municipal Land Use Scheme that covers the entire municipal

area and a Spatial Development Framework that is flexible and resilient. SPLUMA also expressly

provides for the incorporation of areas that were previously excluded from planning processes and

the incremental introduction of town planning principles.

In an attempt to adhere to the provisions of SPLUMA in as far as the development of a Municipal

Single Land Use Scheme is concerned Council appointed a Service Provider in September 2017 to

assist with the development of a Single Land Use Scheme for the entire municipal area in

accordance with Section 24 (1) of the SPLUMA.

The single Land Use Scheme will incorporate all 34 Municipal Wards, including Traditional Authority

Areas. This will assist greatly in incrementally introducing regulation of traditional areas, which were

previously excluded from the Scheme processes and will contribute immensely to orderly

development within the municipality.

The Municipal Single Land Use Scheme was meant to be completed during 2018/2019 financial

year. However this target could not be achieved as a result of elaborate stakeholder engagements,

which were necessary to ensure that their comments and inputs are heeded in the preparation of

the Scheme as well as the general public participation. The following Key Stakeholders were

engaged during the preparation of the draft Single Land Use Scheme:

Department of Education;

Department of Human Settlements;

Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries;

Department of Education;

Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone;

Forestry South Africa;

Department of Transport;

Ingonyama Trust Board;

Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs;

Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs;

Department of Rural Development and Land Reform;

Department of Health;

Department of Social Development;

Mondi Group;

Umhlathuze Valley Sugar;

uMfolozi and uMlalazi Local Municipalities;

King Cetshwayo District Municipality;

Transnet National Ports Authority;

KZN Wildlife;

Etc.

293

Apart from the comments from some of the above listed key departments/stakeholders, the

municipality decided to have one on one session with the Department of Agriculture Forestry and

Fisheries (DAFF) to attend directly to the requirements and provisions of the Subdivision of

Agricultural Land Act, 1970 (Act No. 70 of 1970). The session was successfully held in May 2019,

which was followed by the department’s assessment and comments received in June 2019.

However, the comments were not for the entire affected areas and the department is still busy with

the final assessment.

The Municipal Single Land Use Scheme that is under preparation addresses spatial imbalances of

the past in line with Spatial Justice, Spatial Resilience and Efficiency, being SPLUMA development

principles, by ensuring that land use controls are area based as opposed to a blanket approach and

that the Scheme is flexible and user-friendly. This has been achieved by introducing new land use

zones which includes areas within Traditional Authorities, adjusting minimum site sizes for certain

land use zones in order to accommodate citizens from the Former R293 Townships, which could not

meet the Scheme requirement due to the current Scheme requirements.

Richards Bay Central Business District Framework Plan

In March 2019 Council adopted Richards Bay Central Business District and its overall objective is to

create a more attractive urban environment with improved functionality, better urban management,

creation of new investment and economic opportunities, efficient transport system and improved

urban safety and security.

294

Figure xx: Richards Bay

CBD Framework Plan Overview

The implementation of the Richards Bay CBD Framework does not happen in isolation with the Land

Use Scheme, National Building Regulations and Building Aesthetics Bylaw to ensure that municipal

densification vision.

Building Aesthetic By-law

In May 2017 Council resolved to prepare uMhlathuze Building Aesthetics By-law, which seeks to

improve the aesthetic appeal of the built environment and the maintenance of the aesthetic quality

in all areas that fall under the jurisdiction of the Municipality. The By-law was published in the

Provincial Gazetted on 1 November 2018. It serves as a guiding tool by Council to promote and

create a built environment within uMhlathuze that is unique, creating land marks and iconic

structures that give one a sense of belonging and lasting experience.

The By-law is used in conjunction with other planning and building tools such as the National

Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, the municipal Land Use Scheme and the municipal

Spatial Development Framework to ensure that the design of buildings and their surrounding

environment are aesthetically appealing, pedestrian/people friendly; comply to the principles of

New Urbanism and the Compact City.

Since the implementation of the Building Aesthetic By-law in December 2018, the municipality has

received positive response from the public. Developers and Architects/Draughtspersons in as far the

submission to the Aesthetic Committee are concerned. The Committee has dealt with applications

from Traditional Authority Areas, Empangeni and Richards Bay CBDs and Former R293 Townships.

Land Development Applications

295

The day-to-day responsibilities carried out by Land Use Management Unit (Development Control

and Building Control Sub-Units) include site inspections, enforcement, processing of planning

application and attending to general public queries in relation to statutory planning requirements.

The table below illustrates the number of land use management applications dealt with during

2018/2019 financial year.

Formal Authority 21 9

Total 229 100

Table XX: Land Use Management Applications Assessed during 2018/2019 Financial Year

The planning applications outlined in the above table are assessed and evaluated in terms of the

Section 27 (1) (b) of the Municipal Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017, as

amended, municipal Land Use Scheme, the Standard Operating Procedures and in line with

department’s Key Performance Indicator, which requires that 95% of all applications received per

quarter must be processed and finalised.

In terms of the Standard Operating Procedure, Consent applications are supposed to be finalised

between 68 -82 days (including days public participation process); Formal Authority application

between 66-82 days, all inclusive of 30 days public participation processes and Relaxation of

Building Lines between 28-78 days.

Development control remains a challenge due to development and operations without town

planning approvals. However, enforcement actions are taken and/or advisory services are offered in

line with the uMhlathuze Land Use Scheme, and Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-

law.

Building Control

Building control is the backbone of the municipality in terms of promoting structural integrity of all

buildings erected within the municipal jurisdiction. Citizens, Architects/Draughtspersons and

developers are always advised to submit building plans for municipal scrutiny and approval before

commencement of alterations or additions to existing dwellings or constructing new buildings.

The submission and assessment of building plans are based on the following relevant policy and

legislation framework:

o National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, 1997 (Act No.107 of 1997) as

amended;

o uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017, as amended;

o Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (Act No. 16 of 2013);

o uMhlathuze Land Use Scheme, as amended;

o Building Aesthetics Bylaw, 2018; and

o SANS 10400

The table below illustrates the number of building plans submitted over four subsequent financial

years and estimated building cost of proposed buildings and structures at the end of each financial

year.

The table above indicates a decline in construction industry between 2015/2016 and 2017/2018

financial years and a boom in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Building Plans outlined in the above table were assessed and evaluated in terms of the National

Building Regulations and SANS 10400, the Standard Operating Procedure and in line with

department’s Key Performance Indicator, which requires that 95% of building plans applications

received per quarter must be processed and finalised.

In terms of the Standard Operating Procedure, building plans for residential development are

approved within 30 days, while building plans for commercial and industrial development are

approved within 60 days. .

Building control remains a challenge due to illegal structures being constructed and appropriate

enforcement actions are taken and/or advisory services are offered in line with the National Building

Regulations and the Building Inspectorate’s Standard Operating Procedures.

DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION




6.1 Integrated Urban and Rural

Development

6.1.3 To ensure effective Land

Use Management and Building

Management

6.1.3.2 Effective processing of

development applications

In line with the above IDP Objective, the following has been achieved as per the SDBIP for the year

under review.

Implementation of the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management (SPLUM) By-law, 2017

Review of the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017

The Municipality adopted the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law,

which became effective on 21 September 2017. The aim of the By-law is to:

provide for the establishment of the Municipal Planning Approval Authority, Municipal

Planning Appeal Authority and the Municipal Planning Enforcement Authority;

provide for the adoption, repeal, review, extension and amendment of the Municipality’s

land use scheme,

regulate and manage spatial and land use planning and development,

300

provide for the categorisation of land development applications,

provide for processes and procedures for land development applications,

provide for appeals against decisions of the Municipal Planning Approval Authority;

provide for offences, penalties and enforcement matters; and

provide for compensation and matters incidental thereto.

The implementation of the By-law highlighted some shortcomings. These shortcomings could be

summarised as:

- addition and amendment of definitions to aid in interpretation of the By-law;

- addition and clarification of matters as set out in the Spatial Planning and Land Use

Management Act, such as applying for intervener status, appeals, etc.

- clarification of who is delegated to perform certain functions or actions;

- clarification or streamlining of procedures to be followed, for instance the formalisation of a

pre-application process, review of timeframes, etc; and

- minor corrections such as numbering, spelling, etc.

It was therefore proposed to review the By-law in order to ensure good governance and to aid in

interpretation of the By-law.

As required in terms of legislation and to ensure transparency, the proposed changes were

advertised for public comment, and the public participation process was successfully concluded.

No objections or comments were received, which enabled the Municipality to continue with the

formalisation of the proposed changes.

The amendments to the By-law were gazetted on 9 May 2019 (Government Gazette Notice No.

2073) and the amendments are therefore now effective.

The Municipality continues to monitor the implementation of the By-law in order to ensure a

transparent and efficient planning process that would support service delivery and investment in

the uMhlathuze Municipal area.

Planning Applications Received

Applications administered by the Development Administration Unit include rezoning, township

establishment, subdivision and consolidation of land, development of land situated outside scheme

areas, phasing or cancellation of approved layout plans for subdivision or development of land, the

alteration/suspension/deletion of restrictions relating to land and permanent closure of municipal

roads and public places.

The section attended to the following planning applications received during 2018/2019:

- Planning applications for key Municipal Projects applicable to the Steel Bridge, Carina

Substation, The Ridge and the Central Industrial Area.

Planning Applications Drafted

The relevant sections also assist in drafting and finalising planning applications on behalf of the

Municipality.

During the reporting year, the section attended to the following Council projects:

Subdivision and rezoning of the Steel Bridge and Carina Substation sites in order to create

transferable properties;

Re-layout of the Central Industrial Area in order to react to an amended environmental

approval;

Subdivision and rezoning of land to establish a commercial node in Mzingazi Village;

purposes;

Correction of Cadastral Boundaries – The Empangeni Art Centre for asset management

purposes; and

Subdivision of the Empangeni Golf Course to create an individual erf for asset management

purposes.

Decision-making Authorities

The Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) and the uMhlathuze Spatial

Planning and Land Use Management By-law make provision for two decision-making authorities

responsible for considering and approving land development and land use applications:

a) The Municipal Planning Tribunal

The King Cetshwayo North Joint Municipal Planning Tribunal (JMPT) consists of three external

members and officials from the uMhlathuze and uMfolozi Municipalities. The names of the

members were gazetted in terms of Provincial Gazette Notice 1639 of 10 March 2016. The members

of the Tribunal are appointed for a 5 year term, effective from 10 March 2016.

The Tribunal considers applications as categorised in terms of Schedule 3 Item 7 of the uMhlathuze

Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, which include higher impact activities such as

applications for township establishment, rezoning, permanent closure of public places, applications

where objections were received during the public participation process and the like.

302

The Tribunal considered 27 reports during 11 meetings held between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019,

compared to 26 reports during 10 meetings held between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018.

In terms of timeframes for decision-making, the Tribunal generally must decide on an application

within 60 days of the public participation process, or receipt of a reply to objections received. The

Tribunal performs exceptionally well in this regard, as demonstrated by the following table:

Table xx: Land Development applications considered by the King Cetshwayo North JMPT

On average, the King Cetshwayo North Joint Municipal Planning Tribunal finalises a decision within

a month after the public participation process, or receipt of a reply to objections received, thereby

improving service delivery.

b) The Municipal Authorised Official

The Municipal Authorised Official appointed is the Deputy Municipal Manager: City Development.

The Municipal Authorised Official considers applications as categorised in terms of Schedule 3 Item

8 of the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Bylaw, which include lower impact

activities such as applications for minor subdivisions, consolidations, applications in traditional

settlement areas, removal of restrictions and the like.

The Authorised Official considered 4 planning application reports processed by the Development

Administration Section during the 2018/2019 financial year.

In terms of timeframes for decision-making, the Authorised Official generally must decide on an

application within 60 days of the public participation process. In some cases shown below, no public

participation process was necessary.

The Authorised Official performs exceptionally well in this regard, as demonstrated by the following

table, thereby improving service delivery:

Section 51 of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act and Chapter 5 of the uMhlathuze

Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law deal with the establishment and functioning of

a Municipal Appeals Tribunal.

The Municipality has elected its Executive Committee as its Appeals Tribunal.

Two appeals were received during the 2018/2019 financial year in response to planning decisions

made.

The appeals are received and administered by the Municipal Manager as the Appeals Authority

Registrar.

In line with the above IDP Objectives, a number of targets and initiatives have been achieved for the

year under review.

Spatial Planning

This sub-unit has as its main function the review and implementation of the Municipal Spatial

Development Framework (SDF). After the review of the SDF, the implementation thereof unfolds

into an array of components, notably the development of precinct plan, framework plans for rural

and urban areas, interdepartmental coordination of development as well as catalytic project

coordination.

Spatial Development Framework (SDF) Review

304

The Spatial Development Framework (SDF) of the Municipality is a visual presentation of the

municipality’s development vision and strategies as a result it reflects the current reality, but also

the logical future development options. Amongst others, the municipal SDF provides guidance to

development/investment interventions by way of:

i. Identification of Nodes and Corridors

ii. Restructuring Zones (Human Settlement Intervention) and Priority Housing Intervention

Areas

iii. Spatial Intervention Areas

iv. Catalytic and Strategic Projects

v. Basic Services Intervention Areas

vi. Social Services Intervention Areas

Since the inclusion of four new wards into the municipal area post the Local Government Elections

of 2016, there has been steady progress toward preparing an SDF that is compliant with the

provisions of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (SPLUMA). The second SDF

Review for 2019/2020 was adopted on 29 May 2019. As part of the second review of the Municipal

SDF, the following long term spatial vision and a Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF) have been

included into the SDF.

“An agile institution that fosters spatial sustainability, resilience, equity and compact growth,

supported by appropriate ICT solutions”

Functional Areas and Priority Development Areas have been identified as part of the CEF process.

The Functional Areas are as follow:

o Urban Core

o Rural Sustainability

o Peri-Urban

o Commercial Farming

The identified Priority Development Areas being strategic development areas, nodal areas,

corridors, precincts as well as housing restructuring zones as indicated in the following map.

305

Figure xx: Mapping of uMhlathuze Priority Development Areas

Intermediate City Municipality (ICM) Support as part of the Integrated Urban Development Framework

(IUDF)

The Municipality has been benefitting from assistance provided through the ICM (Intermediate

Cities Municipalities) Support Programme of the IUDF (Integrated Urban Development Framework)

as a Pilot Municipality. The IUDF is a policy framework guiding the reorganization of the urban

system of South Africa so that cities and towns can become inclusive, resource efficient and

adequate places to live, as per the vision outlined in the National Development Plan (NDP). This

new focus for South Africa steers urban growth towards a sustainable growth model of compact,

connected and coordinated cities and towns. The IUDF implementation plan identifies a number of

short term proposals to achieve spatial transformation.

The overall objective of the IUDF is to create efficient urban spaces by:-

o Reducing travel costs and distances

o Aligning land use, transport planning and housing

o Preventing development of housing in marginal areas

o Increasing urban densities and reducing sprawl

o Shifting jobs and investment towards dense peripheral townships

o Improving public transport and the coordination between transport modes

The IUDF has its premise on the nine levers as indicated in the figure below.

306

Figure xx: Strategic Goals and Levers of the IUDF

The above listed levers relate very specifically to the pillar of spatial transformation that is embraced

by the Municipality. The Municipality is planning and implementing for improved public transport

and investment is aimed at aiding the Township Economy and a number of processes are underway

to establish integrated human settlements in the municipal area.

The following areas of support were provided to the Municipality as part of the ICM Support

Programme:

o Financial instruments (inclusive of Long Term Financial Planning – LTFP, Infrastructure Asset

Management, Procurement and Delivery);

o Spatial Visioning; and

o Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF).

The latter two have been included into the SDF Review and more details in respect of their

formulation is provided hereunder:

1.3.1.3 Spatial Visioning

Visions are strategic planning instruments. They are “soft instruments” that act as a guideline to

establish or develop policies. The Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA)

requires of municipalities to have long term Spatial Development Frameworks (SDFs) that are

reviewed annually and for these SDFs to have long term spatial visions.

The new spatial vision for the City of uMhlathuze was prepared by way of a consultative process

that included the political leadership as well as internal and external stakeholders and the outcome

is a coherent vision (minimum 20 years) for the economic and spatial integration and

transformation of the municipal area.

307

Figure xx:the Future Vision

Figure xx: City of uMhlathuze Visionaries

The following principles for uMhlathuze were identified during the spatial visioning engagements:

o Diversity: Nurturing, encouraging and enabling diversity on all fronts, such as cultural,

traditional, religious, gender, ability, etc.

o Sustainability: Institutional, Ecological, social and financial.

o Choice: An area where people are able to exercise free will and have access to choice and

opportunity.

o Accessibility: Enabling upward mobility.

o Quality of life: Quality shared public spaces.

o Mobility: Ability to progress and an adaptable environment.

o Affordability: For all – especially public services.

o Shared societal dividends: Happiness, hope, health, safety and well being

o Equality: An administration that regards ALL residents as equal.

o Equity: An administration that seeks to improve equity. One that is fair and just.

o Inclusivity: An administration that deliberates seeks to include the marginalized (gender, age,

race, ability.

308

o Avant garde: Taking a long term view, forward thinking and thinking outside the box.

o Democratic: Meaningful consultative processes.

o Efficiency: Judicious use of public resources

The following spatial vision statement for the uMhlathuze Municipality was developed and

incorporated into the municipal Spatial Development Framework (SDF).

“An agile institution that fosters spatial sustainability, resilience, equity and compact growth,

supported by appropriate ICT solutions”

1.3.1.3 Capital Expenditure Framework

A Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF) is a core requirement for a SPLUMA (Spatial Planning and

Land Use Management Act) compliant SDF and also is a requirement for the purpose of an

Intermediate City Municipality to qualify for the Integrated Urban Development Grant (IUDG).

Amongst others, the CEF provides the Municipality with the following:

o An analysis of the socio-economic context of the Municipality.

o The uMhlathuze Development Approach.

o A summary of the Spatial Vision.

o A delineation of Functional Areas and Priority Development Areas.

o Details of growth patterns, level of services provided as well as services requirements for the

determined Functional Areas and Priority Development Areas.

o Consolidated details of the planned capital investment by the Municipality based on various

master plans and sector plans as available.

o The Long Term Financial Model and Funding Envelope available to the Municipality.

o An explanation of the Project Prioritisation methodology as well as the outcomes of the

application of the Project Prioritisation Model. The said outcomes are presented in various

ways, i.e. per programme and spatially for the 10 year period.

o Budget Scenarios.

In context of the above, a Functional Area (FA) is a delineated area characterized by common

(homogenic) geographical, spatial, developmental, service demand conditions, as well as similar

developmental challenges.

Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are specifically delineated intervention areas. Each of these areas

have a specific development intent such as strategic development areas, nodal areas, corridors,

precincts, housing restructuring etc. which are expressed, but not limited to the Spatial

Development Framework.

The mapping of the Functional Areas as applied to the uMhlathuze context is provided hereunder:

as well as planned expenditure in renewal/upgrade/new infrastructure.

A tailored prioritization model for the uMhlathuze Municipality was also prepared to assist in

ensuring that the most important projects are implemented in line with the spatial transformation

agenda of the Municipality.

Rural Framework Plans

In order to facilitate feasible service provision, the Municipality is in the process of compiling Rural

Framework Plans for all rural areas within its jurisdiction. Amongst others, these plans can be used

as a guiding tool when land allocations are effected.

The municipality has a five stage plan for the preparation of Rural Development Framework Plans.

Phase 3 is currently underway. The following table illustrates the complete phasing approach for

the preparation of the proposed Rural Development Framework Plans.

a) To obtain more information on the public transport associations active in the area as well as

permit arrangements.

b) To discuss the proposed de-proclamation of the P253.

c) To request prioritisation of high mast lighting in the Buchanana nodal area given the high

priority given to this intervention in the Development Framework.

d) To obtain assistance with regard to gateway signage for the Buchanana area.

1.3.1.5 Empangeni Urban Regeneration

Following the finalization of the Empangeni CBD Revitalization Plan, aesthetic guidelines for the

Refurbishment/Replacement of Pavements/Walkways in the Empangeni CBD (Central Business

311

District) were prepared to guide the ongoing maintenance of Empangeni Pavements/Walkways

takes place on an “ad hoc” basis and without consideration of a theme.

The following concept themes are subsequently being pursued:

o Geometric forms, beadwork and colour symbolism in the landscape; and

o Regeneration of the Empangeni landscape by way of ecological restoration, resource

management, reduction, reuse and rehabilitation and reducing the heat island.

This process contains various proposals as grouped hereunder:

Part 1: Non-motorized Transport (NMT) users, i.e. Pedestrians and Disabled Persons:

Proposals and guidance is provided in respect of user security, safety and traffic safety as well as

accessibility, convenience, comfort and environmental needs. Dimensions, materials etc. for

sidewalks and walkways are provided.

Part 2: NMT users: Cyclists:

Amongst others, an analysis of cyclist groups, bicycle lane requirements and a number of design

considerations are provided.

Part 3: Landscape Treatment:

Ideas for parking areas, landmarks, public squares and plazas as well as stormwater and surface

runoff management are provided.

312

Figure xx: Proposal for Secondary Pedestrian Walkway and Cycle Routes

In order to give effect to the proposals contained in the aesthetic guidelines for the

Refurbishment/Replacement of Pavements/Walkways in the Empangeni CBD (Central Business

District), an interdepartmental Task Team has been established to coordinate implementation

efforts in line with the proposals.

Environmental Planning

Environmental Planning has a strategic and monitoring responsibility in the Municipality. The unit is

at the forefront of the municipal efforts with regard to climate change mitigation and adaptation as

well as pursuing various partnerships and funding mechanisms in this regard. The responsibility to

advice and guide decision making in the municipality in respect of development (private and public

sector) also vests within the ambit of environmental planning.

Climate Action

During 2018/2019, the City of uMhlathuze built on from commitments and climate change

programs from previous years. A distinguishing achievement during the year has been the

institutional efforts in embedding a climate change effort within the organization. This was achieved

through a Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), which Council adopted in October 2019. Council

further resolved on the role of the Green Team to co-ordinate Climate Action and report

accordingly. This is becoming increasingly important as Cities, including uMhlathuze, disclose

climate action performance for statutory reporting towards nationally determined contributions, a

voluntary public and global platforms.

The Climate change action plan presents a framework for mitigation and adaptation work until

2023. The plan adopts a risk-based approach and will focus on ten priority areas where intervention

is needed:

Disaster management;

Coastal management;

Storm water management;

Water resource management;

Biodiversity and Open space management;

Air quality management;

Waste management;

Energy management;

Transport planning; and

City planning catalytic initiatives.

The appointment of a Green Team resonates with the cross cutting nature of climate action and it

requires collective action and sound co-ordination. Since the appointment of the Green team, the

City Development Department has co-ordinated six meetings for the Green Team to report on

respective Climate Action targets. This has proven to be a very useful platform in preparation of

Council’s environmental programs as well as the Greenest Municipality and Arbor City Competitions

that the Municipality had to prepare for over the year. Moreover the Green Team would be a think

tank for advancing sustainability objectives, leveraging on partnerships with various sectors as well

as dealing with compliance and enforcement issues.

Strategic Partnerships

As part of the Climate Change Action Plan, uMhlathuze has recognized that strategic partnerships

are imperative for profiling, networks and access to other programs and climate finance. As such,

the Municipality has embarked on programs with various partners in efforts to scale up responses

to climate threats. Programs associated with each partner are elaborated on below.

ICLEI

The City of uMhlathuze is a Secondary City participant in the UN funded Low Emissions

Development Strategies (Urban LEDS). ICLEI, Local Governments for Sustainability, is facilitating the

program, which now is in the second phase of implementation. Phase II, which was launched in

2018, sets the objective of fulfilling a range of cross-cutting objectives to reduce greenhouse Gas

emissions and building climate resilience. Like Phase I (which realized the installation of 11kV solar

panels at Empangeni Library, Urban LEDS II has a strong energy focus.

The City held an engagement with business and industry in November 2018 to communicate its

climate action plan with partners, ICLEI, through the URBAN LEDS 11 project. The event was

314

attended by 60 delegated. The Business Breakfast for Climate Action provided a useful platform to

address a few issues:

Mayor Mhlongo shared the vision of the City of uMhlathuze regarding climate issues.

The municipality shared work being done on climate change such as the Climate Action

Plan, the Urban Low Emissions Development Strategies II project and the uMhlathuze Water

Stewardship Partnership as examples of implementation.

Business shared what they are doing and goals for energy, water and waste.

Common areas where the municipality and business can work together on climate action

during three break away groups dealing with water, energy and waste.

A way forward that there needs to be ongoing engagement to track progress.

Figure xx: Participants at the uMhlathuze Climate Action Business Engagement

The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate Change and Energy

The Mayor of the City of uMhlathuze is a signatory to the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate

Change and Energy, which is the world’s largest cooperative effort among mayors and city officials

to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks in cities. The Global Covenant of Mayors for

Climate Change and Energy helps local authorities to translate their greenhouse gas emissions

315

reduction ambitions into reality, while taking into account the immense diversity on the ground. The

process provides signatories like uMhlathuze with a harmonised data compilation and reporting

framework, which assists in following a systemic climate and energy planning and monitoring

structure at a local level.

The uMhlathuze Water Stewardship Partnership (uWASP)

The uWASP was constituted by the GIZ, National Business Initiative and the World Wildlife Fund,

during the 2017 harrowing drought period where dams were sitting at 13% of their capacity. It

rallied together government departments, different water users (mainly business and industry),

water boards and municipalities within the uMhlathuze Catchment. The uMhlathuze Water

Stewardship Partnership was a platform created to collaborate with various partners to achieve

sound water resource management. The City of uMhlathuze entered into an agreement with the

uWASP in May 2019. The partnership is looking into salient catchment management objectives that

were not necessarily being prioritized. The Lake Cubhu/ Mzingwenya River Catchment management

plan is a case in point. The project has identified a range of climate interventions to ensure that

resilience of informal settlement whilst ensuring desired levels water quality is achieved.

KZN Central Climate Change Compact

The City of uMhlathuze is an active member of the KZN Central Climate Change Compact that

meets on a quarterly basis. The Compact was established as a result of the Durban Adaptation

Charter at COP 17, in Durban, with local municipalities pledging localized climate action. The KZN

Compact of Mayors was launched in November 2018 with the objective of extending the work

already done by a compact technical forum, to include the political heads of the province’s leading

towns and cities.

The Mayors, including Hon. Mayor M.G Mhlongo, signed a declaration which read: “We, the mayors

of KwaZulu-Natal municipalities do hereby commit ourselves to the undertakings of the Durban

Adaptation Charter in alignment with UNFCCC, COP 17 and the Paris Agreement. We commit to

taking local actions in each of our municipalities and implementing it through the KZN Climate

Change Compact of Mayors.”

The compact aligns the province with global structures including the ICLEI – Local Governments for

Sustainability’s Africa region and the Global Covenant of Mayors. It serves to in this regard:

improve aligning adaptation and mitigation strategies

making sure these considered the needs of vulnerable communities

ensuring sustainable development

making sure functioning ecosystems were a core part of municipal green infrastructure; and

seeking innovative funding mechanisms.

316

At the conference, uMhlathuze, along with 12 other municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal were honoured

for long service:

KwaDukuza;

iLembe;

eThekwini;

Ugu;

Ray Nkonyeni;

uMzumbe;

uMdoni;

uMgungundlovu;

uMngeni;

uMshwathi;

Mtubatuta; and

Msunduzi.

The respective partnerships serve an important resource hub to leverage climate finance

opportunities.

Climate Change Alignment with other emerging Policy Frameworks

The City of uMhlathuze’s Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF) is a keystone

intervention in the above regard in delivering on a spatial visioning tool to inform various facets of

planning for the future. For that matter, issues of climate change are reflected in every facet of the

IUDF, from the framework itself to issues of Capital Expenditure Framework and prioritization

models for municipal financing.

The following cross cutting themes in the IUDF address climate change:

Figure xx: Climate Change alignment with other Policy Frameworks

The IUDF from an implementation perspective seeks to transform space in order to:-

317

• Reduce travel costs and distances – mitigation

• Aligning land use, transport planning and housing – mitigation

• Preventing development of housing in marginal areas – adaptation and mitigation

• Increasing urban densities and reducing sprawl – adaptation and mitigation

• Shifting jobs and investment toward dense peripheral townships- adaptation and mitigation

• Improving public transport and the coordination between transport mode – mitigation

Catalytic projects whose implementation will have a positive impact for climate action:

• Comprehensive Integrated Transport Plan (CITP).

• Airport Relocation – increasing efficiencies in the movement of people and goods.

• Waste Water Re-use project.

• Priority Housing Development Areas have been identified to improve urban efficiencies,

reduce travel distances etc.

• uMzingwenya settlement interventions aimed at improving resilience.

• Empangeni Integrated Residential Development Project – Planning aspects include climate

proofing in terms of open spaces, energy, waste management and transport planning.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the uMhlathuze Community Tourism Organisation (uCTO) was held

on 23 July 2018 at Richards Bay Civic Centre. The AGM was well attended by local tourism stakeholders, City

of uMhlathuze officials as well the officials from the KZN Provincial Government.

On the day, it was stressed that the uCTO must be led by the private sector members who are fully involved

in the Tourism and Hospitality Sector. It was further highlighted that the City has finalised its Tourism

324

Marketing Strategy but is up to the role players as a cluster to get us to the next level. It was also

emphasised that it is critical that the uCTO elect right people and the organisation must be properly

registered and organised.

from said Action Plan.

Profiling of the Destination

325

2.1.2.2.1 The King’s Experience Marketing Campaign

King Cetshwayo District Municipality’s Kings Experience Tourism Marketing Campaign was established a few

years ago with a purpose to advertise and market tourism products in the district. The Kings Experience

Campaign integrates all tourism products from the five local municipalities under the district and puts them

into one package. The marketing campaign is a formidable vehicle to take our tourism products to the

country. The idea of targeting events is well placed because a number of people travel for entertainment.

The City of uMhlathuze partnered with the district to travel to different provinces with the campaign that

encourages visitors to spend the festive season within the district and uMhlathuze region in particular.

The activation was launched on 2nd November 2018 in Mpumalanga, and then proceeded to Free State on

the 16th -17th November 2018 for the second leg of the campaign. On the 16 November 2018, the

programme began with live broadcast by our Political Office Bearers on the Free State Community Radio

Stations. It was later followed by the activations to the different places of interests where the Kings

Experience tourism information stands were manned by tourism officials from both the King Cetshwayo

District and uMhlathuze Local Municipalities.

Experience Campaign in Mpumalanga

Profiling uMhlathuze in Tourism Publications

The purpose of the advertorials is to market the uMhlathuze area as well as the activities taking place

around uMhlathuze. It also assists in promoting members and products of the Community Tourism

Organisation (uCTO).

326

The strategy is and has been to advertise in publications that are well received in the tourism space and

reach a wide audience as they are distributed at tourism shows, airports and tourism offices around the

country. Below are some of the adverts as they appeared in these publications:

Redesign of the uMhlathuze Travel Guide

The previous Tourism Guide was designed and printed in 2015. The inclusion of the Ntambanana wards

after the elections necessitated a need to include the tourism products that were not part of the previous

guide.

327

A total of 20 000 copies were printed for distribution. The PDF version of the guide is available on the

Council website, and below is a screenshot of the cover page.

Hosting of Events

2.1.2.3.1 Successful hosting of the uMhlathuze Beach Festival 2018

The annual uMhlathuze Beach Festival was held on the 15th December 2018 at Alkantstrand Beach.

The programme included local artists who performed their latest hits to the festival goers, giving them a

platform that they do not usually get of promoting their craft to such a large audience. Identification of the

328

local artists was done by the internal Arts & culture section in partnership with the Provincial Department of

Arts and Culture. There was a kids corner with jumping castles and face painting for the young ones

The draw card artists of the day were Tipcee, DJ Merlon and our own local DJ Amenisto. Council received

sponsorship from King Cetshwayo District Municipality as well as the Department of Arts & Culture.

World Travel Market is a Tourism and Travel Show that delivers the leading global events for the travel

industry. One of six shows in the WTM portfolio, the Africa show was launched in 2014 to bring the benefits

and opportunities of our global industry expertise to travel professionals in this region. It took place from

the 10th -12th April 2019 in Cape Town.

uMhlathuze Municipality shared a stand with King Cetshwayo District Municipality and the uMhlathuze

Community Tourism Association (uCTO). There was a good influx of exhibitors that visited the stand who

showed great interest in the area. Good relations were built with the other districts and information was

freely shared. Tour Operators and Tour Companies were mainly interested in the City's coastline (fishing,

water sports), the Zulu Culture, Game Parks, War Histories, Birding Routes and the Dolphin Research Centre

for Humpback Dolphins.

2.1.2.5 Tourism Training Initiatives

2.1.2.5.1 Tourism Hospitality Programme

The KZN Hospitality Youth Training Programme was implemented in collaboration with uMhlathuze

Municipality and Tourism World Academy, as an Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in the City of

uMhlathuze.

331

The objectives of the project were to provide hospitality skills to unemployed youth (18-35 years) within the

jurisdiction of the municipality, and to provide experiential training for the selected beneficiaries by placing

them at the selected Host Employers.

The primary objectives of the programme are to ensure that all the beneficiaries are provided Exit

Opportunities which may include:

Further employment by Host Employers;

Tourism Entrepreneurship (Cooperatives etc.); and

Further training.

The beneficiaries received training in one of the following SAQA registered (CATHSSETA accredited)

qualifications:

National Qualification in Food & Beverages Services NQF level: 4; and

National Qualification in Fast Food NQF level: 3

A total of 60 learners were identified for the project with 30 for Fast Food and 30 for hospitality.

2.1.2.5.2 Tourism Safety Programme

The KZN Tourism Safety Programme is a programme being implemented by the Provincial Department of

Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) in collaboration with uMhlathuze and

AGB Business as Implementing Agent of the programme.

The objective of the project is to absorb unemployed tourism students / graduates around the province and

give them practical and theory training over a 12-month period.

An expression of Interest (EOI) was sent to the department and uMhlathuze was offered 14 positions for the

programme. The successful students will be place at Alkantstrand Beach, Empangeni Museum as well as

TuziGazi Waterfront.

2.1.3.1.1 National Youth Development Agency (NYDA)

The Empangeni branch primarily serves three District Municipalities being King Cetshwayo, uMkhanyakude

and Zululand. The main function of the Agency is to create a platform for the youth in the North Coast of

KwaZulu-Natal to participate is socio-economic development within each district, thus alleviating poverty

and social-ills and bringing in sustainable livelihoods and an environment that brings about youth

development in all structures of society. NYDA interventions are aligned with the national strategies such as

The New Growth Path, National Development Plan, National Development Act and the Annual Programme

of Action of Government and the African Youth Charter.

The NYDA branch continues to smartly implement youth development programmes as mandated by the

National Youth Policy 2015-2020, which are:

Training and skills development; and

333

Economic participation

The NYDA, with its explicit focus on youth, remains biased to:

Unemployed youth;

Young women;

Youth in rural areas; and

Youth living with disabilities etc.

2.1.3.1.2 NYDA Strategic Partnerships

The Empangeni branch has created and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Transnet as

the primary objective for this financial year as well as improving accessibility and creating Jobs for young

people through fundraising. Transnet has created a good relationship with different stakeholders in the area

that we can take advantage of (e.g. SABS).

The NYDA has also created a good working relationship with Harambe as they have arranged to come to the

branch 4 days of every month-end to train young people on computer skills. This will assist in creating a very

good relationship with the Municipality.

Zikulise Community Projects

Zikulise is a registered Non-Profit Company (formerly known as a Section 21 Company) and Non-Profit

Organisation. The Zikulise Community Upliftment Project NPC is facing the challenge of addressing poverty

alleviation, economic and creative growth head-on by uplifting individuals unfortunate enough to be

unskilled, unemployed and consequently disempowered.

The Project addresses the following community concerns:

Poverty, unemployment and crime;

Youth that lack skills to obtain employment / start own enterprises;

Empowering women;

Vulnerability of women and children; and

Vulnerability, loss of dignity and inability of people living with a disability to earn a living.

The community values, supports and encourages Zikulise's initiatives in addressing their needs in areas such

as economic and creative growth, poverty alleviation and capacity building particularly with regard to the

youth, women, the unemployed and self-help groups. The community members consider Zikulise as an

asset to their communities.

Furthermore, cultural crafts such as traditional bead weaving, grass and textile weaving and embroidery are

at great risk of no longer being passed down from one generation to another. The training that Zikulise

offers is therefore considered by the community as essential for black youth.

2.1.3.4 RBIDZ SMME Seminar

The purpose of the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone (RBIDZ) is to develop a Special Economic Zone

(SEZ) in order to attract local and foreign investors who will beneficiate South Africa’s raw materials and

then stimulate economic growth, develop skills and transfer, as well as create job opportunities.

This was the 5th Annual Seminar that the RBIDZ had collaborated with the Local and District Municipalities

given the latter’s responsibility to ensure that local communities are well vested with the opportunities

available within the municipalities, as well as processes to be followed in doing business with them.

The RBIDZ currently has 2 investors that are already located within the Zone and further has various

investors that are signed and in the process of adhering to regulatory requirements before they can start

construction and operation of their factories.

The RBIDZ also has 2 investors that have signed investments valued at R11.5 billion, and they are at

different stages towards finalising their processes.

In light of the above, the SMMEs need to be equipped with information regarding opportunities that will be

available once construction and operations commence.

Therefore, for the SMMEs and other stakeholders to be ready of what is about to come and opportunities

that will be brought by the investors when they start construction and operation, the RBIDZ has taken a

stand to have annual SMME Engagement Seminars aimed at unpacking what the investors have in store for

the suppliers. This was done by inviting some of investors to come and present business development

opportunities as well as procurement opportunities.

2.1.4 Informal Markets

2.1.4.1 Financial Literacy Training

The workshop was a partnership between the Municipality and ABSA Bank. The partnership came as a result

of the Municipality’s ongoing programme to educate as many informal traders as possible in financial

literacy, business management, budgeting etc.

A total of twenty five (25) Informal Traders trading in Empangeni Lot 63 attended the workshop.

Financial literacy initiatives aim to increase financial knowledge and change financial behaviour. As informal

traders receive financial education, they become more confident on financial matters and make more

informed financial decisions. In the medium to long term they will become more self‐sufficient and

financially secure. At the same time the uMhlathuze economy will benefit from a well‐educated society.

Agriculture

Development Of The Agricultural Support Plan

Council adopted a uMhlathuze Strategic Roadmap for Economic Development, Job Creation and

Transformation, which regards agriculture as one of the sectors that can create employment. The

Municipality embarked on the development of an Agricultural Support Plan, which led to the appointment

of Kgotsofalang Farms and Projects to compile the plan.

The Agricultural Support Plan draft was presented to the Executive Management Committee (EMCO) on the

12th of March 2018 and it was supported with the condition that the service provider includes an

implementation plan for final approval.

344

A one on one consultation session with all relevant stakeholders including the private sector took place

from 07 December 2017 to 01 February 2018. The uMhlathuze Municipality Agricultural Support Plan

served at EXCO on 22 August 2018 and at Council on 19 September 2018 was approved and adopted

respectively.

Capacity building of emerging farmers

City Development Department partnered with the Department of Agriculture and CEDARA to train farmers

Goat Farming Agri-Business Training

Mdukatshani (GAP), King Cetshwayo District Municipality and uMhlathuze Municipality held a goat farming

training program with goat farmers at Owen Sithole Agricultural College on 05 March 2019. The training

came as a responsive approach emanating from engagements that were held with goat farmers towards the

end of October 2018. Farmers had raised various concerns and challenges that they are facing with goat

farming ranging from breeding issues, goat health, compliance, auctions and veterinary support.

This training was a first step towards socialising our farmers about value and opportunities within goat

farming. There is still more training to come e.g. Community Animal Health Workers Training, Constructing

Goat Dips, Auctioning of Goats and Breeding Goats for Commercial purposes.

The City of uMhlathuze manages its fixed assets through the Property Administration Unit, which

falls under City Development Department. The Property Administration Unit, which is responsible

for the management of lease agreements and alienation of municipal land, has three divisions, i.e.

property valuation, property alienation and property leasing.

2.2.1 Property Valuation

The Municipal Valuation Division is responsible for the valuation of immovable properties for rating

purposes. The valuation of these properties is in line with the requirements as set out in the

Municipal Property Rates Act No. 6 of 2006 (MPRA), as amended.

352

The MPRA is a national law that regulates the power of a municipality to value and rate immovable

properties (that is building and land) located within the boundaries of a municipality. In a nutshell, it

standardizes the valuation of properties across the board.

Regularizing of Leases Project

An advisory company was appointed to attend to the review and regularising of lease agreements,

with the aim of:

Bringing the lease agreements in line with current legislation;

Increasing revenue for Council, especially with regards to historic lease agreements that are

tied up in long term and indefinite periods; and

Freeing land parcels tied up in such agreements, where possible.

Regularization of certain clubs was successful and short-term lease agreements were concluded. An

exception was given to National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) who has been given an in-principle

approval for a medium-term period.

However, there were those lessees who rejected the new conditions as a result eviction summons

have been issued and litigation is in progress.

Having failed to comply with the lease conditions and renewal thereto, River Rock Investments (Pty)

Ltd defended their case at the Durban High Court. The Court ruled in favour of Council and an

application for leave to appeal lodged by River Rock Investments (Pty) Ltd was rejected by the

Durban High Court at which time the application was dismissed with costs.

Introduction

EXPENDITURE DIVISION

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2018/2019

EXPENDITURE DIVISION

Objectives

360

The objectives of the Expenditure Division is to provide the financial control framework of a MSCOA (Municipal Standard Chart of Accounts) budget. To provide the financial planning and control support to all Departments in the implementation of such budgets. On continuous bases, the Expenditure Division complies with all statutory financial reporting in in terms of the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA) and its regulations including the compilation of the Annual Financial Statements and the reporting required in terms of the Division of Revenue Act (DORA). In a manor , so as to comply with Generally Recognized Accounting Practice (GRAP), the Division strives to consistently compile unqualified Annual Financial Statements, the Financial Assets Register and a multi-peril risk mitigating Short Term Insurance Portfolio. For actual expenditure the Division managers and administers all Creditors payments including the Payroll for the Municipal Employees. During this process, the Division managers and administers all the cash and cash equivalents effectively and efficiently, so as to ensure maximum return for the Municipality. Creditors and Cash Management Section

As part of the Municipality’s developmental obligations and sound financial management, these are key activities in developing and assisting our community:

The Creditors Section facilitated the training of seven interns across all major sections of the Finance Department in the financial year. Rotations as well as Personal Development Plans were developed for interns. The progress with this program is very good, especially in the absence of other institutional platforms providing a suitable stepping-stone for aspirant local government financial managers.

Providing cash flow relief for our SMME vendors by paying invoices between 7 to 14 days;

The signing of cession agreements with primary suppliers, to assist SMME’s to receive their materials on time; Guaranteeing every single creditor who has their invoices and associated orders “GRN’d” (Goods Received Note Acknowledgement), payment

is assured from the Creditors Section within 30 Days. The Municipality prides itself for having no creditor payments outstanding more than 30

Days if invoices are relevant and endorsed by a Goods Received Note.Stricter controls are being implemented in the payment/procurement

process between Municipal user departments and suppliers in ensuring Supply Chain Management processes are followed. Occasionally, this

good governance process does unfortunately leave suppliers feeling aggrieved, only to find that they were given the unauthorized go-ahead

without proper due process being followed in the first instance.

Financial support, budget process management and budget reporting section

361

The process of planning to the approval of each MTREF (Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework) is a continuous cycle, commencing immediately after the ensuing years MTREF is approved by Council. The 2018/19 MTREF was tabled before Council on 31 March 2018. Thereafter a 5-week budget participation process was undertaken with cluster meetings at various locations. Attendance by the community at these meetings is improving and the understanding of the municipal process by the community is also encouraging to note. Following the budget participation process, amendments that were identified from the communities were incorporated into the Adopted 2018/19 Budget and Medium Term Revenue and expenditure Framework (MTREF). Council adopted the 2018/2018 MTREF on 31 May 2018. National Treasury endeavours to ensure that municipalities prepare a budget document that provides concise and understandable financial and non-financial information, which will ensure that informed decisions are made to promote effective financial management and service delivery. By ensuring that the allocation of financial resources is aligned to service delivery targets it will be clear what services are being promised when budgets are approved. National Treasury created a template called “Batho Pele City” to serve as a guide to municipal officials responsible to produce their municipal budget documents. The aim of the Budget Guide is to provide more detailed guidance on the format and content of a municipal budget so as to ensure full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of Schedule A of the Municipal Budget and Reporting Regulations. In light of the above, Council has a Tabled and Adopted Budget report which has been prepared in line with the template provided by National Treasury. An exceptional exercise in the 2018/19 year was the ongoing implementation of mSCOA. Although mSCOA is a business reform that requires transformation from the whole administration, the core operational steering team originates from the Expenditure Division. This was done in addition to the continued high standard of budgeting, control, reporting and support. The mSCOA uploads of the data string has been successfully achieved in the 2018/2019 financial year. Financial support section also includes payroll administration. The payroll administration section ensures that +/- 2400 employees (including 67 councillors) are paid their monthly salaries and allowances timeously and accurately and has succeeded without failure during the whole year.

Financial Accounting, Reporting & Asset management The functions of this section include; ensuring that the Annual Financial Statements are completed and timeously submitted to the Auditor General for auditing purposes and that the Municipality complies with General Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) Financial Assets Register. The preparation of the 2017/2018 financial

362

statements was done using the mSCOA regulations version 6.2 accounts. The municipality managed to get two (2) clean audits during the piloting of mSCOA in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years and a unqualified report for 17/18 with one legal compliance matter . For a municipality of this size , it is worth noting that the compilation of the AFS’s are done in house. The section also manages a Financial Assets Register with the asset book of R5,4 billion and for the past 3 financial years there were no non-compliance matters reported on assets in the management report issued by the Auditor-General.

The cash flow recovery plan which commenced with sincerity in 2010 has succeeded very well. Previous reports have highlighted the specific interventions, but in summary the success lies in: budgeting for expenditure that is funded, strict control of the budget, very good management of both debtors and creditors and ensuring both affordable and cost reflective tariffs.

REVENUE DIVISION

The primary responsibility of council is to deliver services to the community within its jurisdiction.

Section 75A of the Municipal Sysstems Act permits municipalities to levy and recover fees, charges or

tariffs in respect of municipal service delivery functions and to recover collection charges and interest

on outstanding debt.

Revenue Section strives to get the basics right by implementing adequate processes to

integrate with all municipal functions along the revenue value chain. The section is committed

to ensure that council fiscal baskets is sufficient to serve the uMhlathuze community with the

social responsibilities, capital infrastructure, city development, a safe city, affordable shelter and

basic services such water, electricity and refuse removal services. This is achieved by ensuring

that all properties within the municipal cadastral are billed for property rates and all trading

services consumed are adequately measured and billed.

Albeit, uMhlathuze being ranked as one of the best performing municipalities in the province

and ultimately in the country; the current economic instability faced by South Africa has

negative drawbacks in relation to debt collection.

According to the 2018/19 published section 71 reports from National Treasury, uMhlathuze

municipality has maintained a collection rate of between 97% and 98% over the last decade

with it peak at 99%, this is a strong indicator that the municipality is doing something right

when it comes to Revenue Management. Not only do the city apply credit controls to safeguard

municipal services consumed, consumers are provided with arrangement of debt and credit

extensions to assist those with financial constraints which also enhances consumer relations

with council.

At the beginning of each financial year, medium term budgeted tariffs are determined and

reviewed dependant on the prevailing economic circumstances at the time. During the 2018/19

budget process, considerations was given on the affordability of consumers as South African

Economy slipped into recession on the last quarter of 2017.

The above affected the city in having to adjust projected revenue downwards as well as the

consequence of increased number of days in the recovery of outstanding debt from consumers

as they face hard economic down turns.

The presence of high service consumption industrial customers is an important source of

revenue for the municipality e.g. Transnet, Foskor, South 32 and the Ports, there are about 10

371

companies which the municipality places a lot of reliance on for revenue. The biggest revenue

base for the municipality is electricity.

The city is adopting the smart city concepts and a payment application is under development

phase for real time paying facilities. In addition to the payment application, the third party

payment facility will also be available effective from 2019/20. This facility will allow consumers

and business customers to pay for their accounts at clothing and grocery shops, weekdays or

weekends.

Customer relations is an integral function that is vital and critical factor of the revenue chain.

Effective from 2018, Revenue has shifted focus and invested resources to foster customer

relations with the public.

The City took an initiative to take the finance office teamed up with other service department to

the community and conducted consumer education campaigns across the city. The campaign

was based on the myriad of consumer related matters ranging from the Call Centre usage, water

saving tips and leaks reporting, billing and management of the municipal accounts, fire and

rescue services, electrical services, waste management, human settlement issue, Land Use and

many other services rendered by the City of uMhlathuze.

The team traversed different parts of the City from eSikhaleni Township where the campaign

was officially launched and moved to eMpangeni CBD where it gained more momentum.

ENseleni, Vulindlela, Ngwelezana and Richards Bay CDB were also visited.

Different presentations were made to consumers and unlimited time for questions and answers

made a huge impact on the consumers understanding of the municipality’s processes and by-

laws.

The City is now noting the drastic change of consumer and customer behaviour for the better,

benefitting both ends. Water consumption patterns especially in Nseleni has decreased which is

attributed to water conservation presentations done on the road shows.

Increased number of calls reporting water leaks is also noted especially from eNseleni residents.

Consumers are proving to be more aware of the Credit Control Action and the associated fees

and beginning to make payment arrangements.

Applications for Consumer Rebates has increased by 40% in 2019 compared to previous years.

A total number of Arrangement Of Debts has also significantly increased to 1250 arrangements

made from November 2018 to June 2019 compared to an average of 650 on an annual horizon.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

The effective Implementation of the Supply Chain Management process is vital for the Council.

The Supply Chain Management (SCMU) has two Sub-units, i.e. Demand and Acquisition

Management and Contract and Logistics Management.

Supply Chain Management Policy

The policy was reviewed to include provisions of Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2017

and propose an addition of Military veterans as a designated group for economic

transformation. The review proposed that 40% of the municipal procurement spent be targeted

for distribution as follows; EME or QSE which is at least 51% owned by Black Youth - 30%; EME

or QSE which is at least 51% owned by Black Women – 30%; EME or QSE which is at least 51%

owned by Black People with disabilities; EME or QSE which is at least 51% owned by Black

People who are military veterans – 30%. This will be achieved through PPPFA Regulation 2017,

clause 4 and 9 provisions.

Contract Management Policy

Contract Management Policy was developed and approved in 2017, which aims to assist and

ensure efficient management of contracts. Section 116 of the Municipal Finance Management

375

Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) stipulates the procedure that should be followed to manage a

contract procured through Supply Chain Management of a municipality. The were no issues or

amendments that necessitated the review.

uMhlathuze Preferential Procurement Policy

The policy was established in terms of Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, Section

2(1) read together with Preferential Procurement Regulations 2017, clause 2 and The

Constitution of the Republic of South African Constitution, Section 217(2) which allows an

Organ of state implement procurement policy provided for categories of preference in

allocation of contracts; and the protection and advancement of persons, or categories of

persons, disadvantaged by unfair discrimination.

Supplier training and development

As Council`s amended and approved Supply Chain Management Policy whose objective is to

spend a minimum of forty percent (40%) of its annual procurement budget with historically

disadvantaged individuals (HDIs), youth, women, People living Disabilities.

Below is the SCM spending report reflecting the performance under each category:

through targeted groups

The targeted procurement policy of the municipality is slowly but surely meeting the

objectives set, that of improving the lives of the people. In the first year of implementation,

2016/17 financial year, 40% set aside was R348 million. Out of this amount the local black

women category achieved 175% (R244 million), youth was 94% (R131 million) and

People living with Disabilities was 0.87% (R605 Thousand).

In the second year ending 2018, there is an improvement where the youth has already

achieved 102% (R134 million), women 91% (R117 million) and the People living with

Disabilities 2% (R1.6 million).

In the third year ending June 2019, there is an improvement where the youth has already

achieved 140% (R139.3 million), women 122% (R121.2 million) and the People lwith

Disabilities 4% (R2.0 million).

These percentages grow in value in the second and third year in proportion to the first year.

Having said that, uMhlathuze is very clear with this programme of uplifting the youth in our

area. However, challenges are still encountered from these groupings more especially

around compliance perspective, their financial management skills and access to finance.

However, there has been good improvement in three year comparison.

Achievement of purchase orders allocated to Women, Youth and People Living Disabilities:

Targeted Groups versus Other Suppliers

Council also continued to use its objective criteria, in terms of the developmental local

government, in ensuring that more work is awarded to local suppliers, this includes the

target procurement to the marginalised youth, women and People Living Disabilities owned

companies.

The graph below illustrates positive contribution of the objective criteria:

APPENDIX E: WARD REPORTING AND THE FUNCTIONS OF WARD COMMITTEES

Public Participation and Councillor Support

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa in section 152 lists the objects of local government, among

them is to provide democratic and accountable government for local communities and to encourage the

involvement of communities and community organisations in the matters of local government.

Pursuant to these noble objectives, as set out in the Constitution, Council has taken a deliberate decision to

strengthen and intensify its public participation drive. The Corporate Services Department has a unit called

Councillor Support and Public Participation. It is charged with ensuring that there is an organised and

structured manner in which the municipality communicates and/or consults the community on their

developmental needs, so that intervention programmes can target real community needs.

Ward Committees

As it is embedded in the Constitution for the democratic government, public participation is central in

deepening democracy. Public participation is described as an open, accountable process through which

individuals and groups within selected communities can exchange views and influence decision-making. It is a

process of engaging people, deciding, planning and playing an active role in the development and operation of

services that affect their lives. Public participation narrows the social gap between the communities and the

elected representative. Communities are defined as wards and each ward has to elect a Ward Committee

which is a central representative structure that links the community with Council and ensures that

communities take part in the decisions in the affairs that affect their lives. To fulfil the abovementioned

objective, Council has undergone a programme of electing Ward Committee members in all thirty four (34)

wards.

As part of Council’s commitment to motivate ward committee members, Council has a budget of R4million for

ward committee out-of-pocket expenses; ward committees received a stipend on

R1 344.00 per month with an increase of 7% every financial year.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO COUNCIL

Dear Sir

INTRODUCTION

The Audit and Performance Committee (Audit Committee) is pleased to present its Report for the

financial year ending 30 June 2019. This report covers work done during the third and fourth quarters

of this financial year.

1. Legislative requirements

The purpose of this report is to communicate to the Council the audit committee’s progress to date in

carrying out its oversight responsibilities in terms of section 166 of the Municipal Finance

Management Act, 2003 (Act No. 56 of 2003, as amended) (MFMA), read with circular 65 published by

the National Treasury for the year ended 30 June 2019.

The MFMA obliges every municipality to establish an independent audit committee, which must

advise the municipal Council, political office-bearers, accounting officer and management staff of the

municipality as well as the accounting officer and the management staff of the municipal entity, on

matters relating to internal financial controls and internal audits, risk management, accounting

policies, the adequacy, reliability and accuracy of financial reporting and information, performance

management, effective governance, compliance with the MFMA, the annual Division of Revenue Act

(DoRA) and any other applicable legislation, and any other issues referred to it by the municipality.

The audit committee is governed by formal terms of reference, which are regularly reviewed and

approved by the Council. The committee is pleased to present its report for the financial year ended

30 June 2019.

2. Audit committee members and attendance

The audit committee was established in accordance with section 166 of the MFMA read with MFMA

Circular 65 issued by the National Treasury. The audit committee charter requires that the audit

committee comprises a maximum of four (4) members, of whom the majority must not be in the

employ of the municipality or municipal entity. The audit committee comprises four (4) members,

including the chairperson. In terms of section 166(4)(b) of the MFMA, the audit committee must meet

463

at least four (4) times a year. During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the audit committee met

on five (5) occasions.

The new Audit Committee was appointed in February 2019 as the term of office for the previous

Committee expired in January 2019.

The members of the audit committee held meetings with the municipal manager as the accounting

officer, the board of directors of the municipal entity, senior management of the municipality, the

internal audit function and the external auditors, collectively and individually, on matters related to

governance, internal control and risk in the municipality, throughout the reporting period. The

committee also held a meeting with the honourable mayor and the executive committee of the

Council to report on governance, internal control, risk, performance and financial information and

other relevant matters concerning the municipality.

The table below sets forth the particulars of the current Audit Committee members and their dates of

appointment:

3. Audit committee’s responsibility

The audit committee has complied with its responsibilities arising from section 166 of the MFMA read

with MFMA Circular 65, and reports that it operated in terms of the audit committee charter read in

conjunction with the internal audit charter.

4. Effectiveness of internal control

464

The audit committee acknowledges management’s efforts to strengthen internal controls within the

municipality. Due to the strategic importance of, and investment in, the modernisation of information

and communication technology (ICT) in the municipality, the audit committee has considered internal

audit reports on the ICT controls during the year under review. The audit committee remains

concerned that not all ICT risks have been addressed in implementing the new systems.

5. The quality of monthly and quarterly reports submitted in terms of the MFMA and DORA

The audit committee is satisfied with the content and quality of monthly and quarterly reports

prepared and issued during the year under review in compliance with the statutory framework. The

finance committee of the municipality reviews these reports on quarterly basis and engage with

management to remedy shortcomings, especially on reports relating to performance against

predetermined objectives. Furthermore these reports are submitted to the audit committee for noting.

The audit committee reviewed the municipality’s annual financial statements and report on

performance information prior to submission to the external auditors by 31 August 2019.

The audit committee has reviewed the reports issued to National Treasury and the Transferring Officer

in terms of the Division of Revenue Act and is comfortable that the Municipality is meeting its

obligation in terms of DORA and has recognised revenue to the extent that conditions have been met.

6. Internal audit function

The accounting officer is obliged, in terms of section 165 of the MFMA, to ensure that the entity has a

system of internal audit under the control and direction of the audit committee. The audit committee

is satisfied that the internal audit function has properly discharged its functions and responsibilities

during the year under review.

The internal audit capacity has been enhanced through co-sourcing parts of the internal audit

function to independent external service providers. The audit committee supports the direction that

the internal audit function is adopting in providing the necessary skills and agility required for the

function to respond quickly and effectively to the demands for internal audit across the municipality.

The recent appointment of specialist ICT auditors is a welcome development in light of the need for

expertise in the auditing of automated systems and the development and maintenance of a system of

continuous auditing.

In terms of the risk-based audit plan approved by the audit committee, the internal audit function

performed twenty eight (28) of the thirty two (32) planned engagements, with the other four (4) being

postponed due to capacity constraints within the internal audit function during the year under review.

The internal audit function found that the control environment as a whole was effective, however,

some control weaknesses were identified in certain areas and recommendations were made for

improvement.

465

The audit committee is satisfied that the internal audit function maintains an effective internal quality

assurance and programme that covers all aspects of the internal audit activity.

7. Risk management function

The audit committee is responsible for the oversight of the risk management function To ensure that

the risk management committee understands the requirements of the audit committee, a member of

the audit committee serves as a member of the risk management committee. The committee has

reviewed the risk register and the reports from the risk committee and is satisfied with the maturity of

the risk management process.

8. Evaluation of the finance function

The audit committee is satisfied with the municipality’s finance function during the year under review.

9. Performance management

Part of the responsibilities of the audit committee includes the review of performance management.

The audit committee has in terms of the performance of the municipality performed the following

functions:

Review and comment on compliance with statutory requirements and performance

management best practices and standards.

Review and comment on the alignment of the integrated development plan, budget,

service delivery and budget implementation plan and

performance agreements.

Review and comment on the relevance of indicators to ensure that they are

measurable and relate to services performed by the municipality and

its entities.

Review of compliance with in-year reporting requirements.

Review of the quarterly performance reports submitted by the internal audit function.

Review and comment on the municipality’s performance management system and

making recommendations for its improvement.

The audit committee is satisfied that the performance report has been prepared in terms of the

MFMA, MSA and the related Regulations.

10. Fraud and irregular activities

During the period under review, no forensic investigations were performed internally and no other

reports were submitted to the audit committee for consideration, however the work of the internal

audit is planned in such a manner that fruitless and wasteful expenditure, irregular expenditure is

identified.

466

The Audit Committee has noted the findings and the conclusion of the Auditor General on the

irregular expenditure as a result of non-compliance with SCM regulations. The committee is confident

that given the effectiveness of the controls in place the recurrence of this exception will be prevented.

11. Evaluation of the annual financial statements

The audit committee has reviewed the annual financial statements, which focused on the

following: • Significant financial reporting judgements and estimates contained in the

annual financial statements.

Clarity and completeness of disclosures and whether disclosures made have been set

properly in context.

Quality and acceptability of, and any changes in, accounting policies and practices.

Compliance with accounting standards and legal requirements.

Significant adjustments and/or unadjusted differences resulting from the audit.

Reflection of unusual circumstances or events and management’s explanation for the

accounting treatment adopted.

Reasons for major year-on-year fluctuations.

Asset valuations and revaluations.

Calculation and levels of general and specific provisions.

Write-offs and reserve transfers.

The basis for the going concern assumption, including any financial sustainability risks and

issues.

Except for the matters identified by the external auditors in the auditor’s report, the audit committee

is comfortable that the annual financial statements were prepared in terms of GRAP and the MFMA.

12. External auditor’s report

The external audit function performed by the Auditor General South Africa is independent of the

entity.

The audit committee accepts the conclusion and audit opinion of the external auditors on the annual

financial statements. The committee is of the view that the audited financial statements be accepted

and read together with the report of the external auditors. The audit committee confirms that it has

been adequately appraised of the issues giving rise to the audit opinion.

The audit committee also concurs with the conclusion on the reported performance information and

compliance with legislation. The committee is comfortable that given the implementation of effective

and efficient controls, these matters should be adequately dealt with in future periods.

These annual financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting and are in accordance with historical costconvention as the basis of measurement, unless specified otherwise. They are presented in South African Rand.

A summary of the significant accounting policies, which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these annual financialstatements, are disclosed below.

These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP), issued by theAccounting Standards Board (ASB) in accordance with Section 122(3) of the Municipal Finance Management Act, (Act No 56 of 2003) withthe exception of certain accounting policies adopted in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS).

1.1 Presentation currency

These annual financial statements are presented in South African Rand. The figures are rounded off to the nearest rand.

14



1.2 Going concern assumption

These annual financial statements have been prepared based on the expectation that the Municipality will continue to operate as agoing concern for at least the next 12 months.

1.3 Offsetting

Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses have not been offset except when offsetting is required or permitted by a Standard of GRAP.

1.4 Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Municipality’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions thataffect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liabilityaffected in future periods.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Municipality’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the mostsignificant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Operating lease – Municipality as lessor

The Municipality has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Municipality has determined, basedon an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of theseproperties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significantrisk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are as follows:

Depreciation and impairment

The Municipality depreciates its assets over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. Theappropriateness of its assets’ estimated useful lives, residual values and their depreciation methods are re-assessed on an annual basis. Theactual lives of these assets and their respective residual values may vary depending on a variety of factors. In re-assessing asset lives,factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account.

Management used their judgement in applying the internal and external impairment indicators to its assets. No impairment indicators wereidentified and as such the recoverable amounts of the aforementioned assets was not calculated.

Customer receivables

At year-end management makes an estimate of the amount of total outstanding customer debt that it expects to hand over to externaldebt collectors and the total subsequent receipts it expects to receive after year end. In addition, management estimates the amounts thatit expects to recover from outstanding balances handed over based upon the age profile of debts handed over and based on priorexperience and trends. A provision for impairment is raised based on these estimates. A detailed breakdown of the student fee receivable isprovided in note 3.

Provisions

Provisions were raised and management determined an estimate based on the information available. Additional disclosure of theseestimates of provisions are included in note 15 - Provisions.

15



1.4 Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Post retirement benefits

The present value of the post retirement obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using anumber of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) include the discount rate. Any changes in theseassumptions will impact on the carrying amount of post retirement obligations.

The Municipality determines the appropriate discount rate every two years. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine thepresent value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriatediscount rate, the Municipality considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in whichthe benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.

Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 16.

1.5 Comparative figures

Prior year Comparative

Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

When the presentation or classification of items in the Annual Financial Statements is amended, prior period comparative amounts arerestated. The nature and reason for the reclassification is disclosed. Where accounting errors have been identified in the current year, thecorrection is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly. Where there has been achange in accounting policy in the current year, the adjustment is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior yearcomparatives are restated accordingly.

Current year Comparative

Budgeted amounts have been included in the annual financial statements for the current financial year only.

1.6 Property, plant and equipment

Initially recognition

Property, plant and equipment are tangible non-current assets (including infrastructure assets) that are held for use in the production orsupply of goods or services, rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and are expected to be used during more than one year.

Infrastructure assets in particular are those that are part of a system or network, specialized in nature and do not have alternative uses,immovable and maybe subject to constraints on disposal.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if it is probable that future economic benefits orservice potential associated with the item will flow to the municipality, and if the cost or fair value of the item can be measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost on its acquisition date or in the case of assets acquired by grant or donation,deemed cost, being the fair value of the asset on initial recognition. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is the purchaseprice and other costs attributable to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the mannerintended by the municipality.

Trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the cost. The cost also includes the necessary costs of dismantling and removing theasset and restoring the site on which it is located.

When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separateitems (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset is measured at its fair value. If theacquired item could not be measured at its fair value, its cost was measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up.

Subsequent measurement

16



1.6 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised if it is probable that future economic benefits or potentialservice delivery associated with the subsequent expenditure will flow to the entity and the cost or fair value of the subsequent expenditurecan be reliably measured.

Subsequent expenditure incurred on an asset is only capitalised when it increases the capacity or future economic benefits associated withthe asset. Where the municipality replaces parts of an asset, it de-recognises the part of the asset being replaced and capitalises the newcomponent.

Subsequently all property plant and equipment, are measured at cost (or deemed cost), less accumulated depreciation and accumulatedimpairment losses. Compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were impaired, lost or given up isincluded in surplus or deficit when the compensation becomes receivable.

Depreciation

Land is not depreciated as it is regarded as having an indefinite life. Depreciation on assets other than land is calculated on cost, using thestraight-line method, to allocate their cost to their residual values over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciation methodused reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential are expected to be consumed by themunicipality on each asset.

Components of assets that are significant in relation to the whole asset and that have different useful lives are depreciated separately. Thedepreciation rates are based on the following estimated useful lives.

The Municipality assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the entity's expectations about the residual value anduseful life of an asset have changed since the preceding reporting date. If any such indication exists, the municipality revises the expecteduseful life and/or residual value. The change(s) are accounted for in accordance with the Standard of GRAP on Accounting Policies, Changesin Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Depreciation only commences when the asset is available for use.

The depreciable amount of an asset is allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciatedseparately.

The depreciation method used reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential are expected to beconsumed by the Municipality. The depreciation method applied to an asset is reviewed at least at each reporting date and, if there hasbeen a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits or service potential embodied in theasset, the method is changed to reflect the changed pattern. Such a change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

The Municipality assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the Municipality expectations about the residual valueand the useful life of an asset have changed since the preceding reporting date. If any such indication exists, the Municipality revises theexpected useful life and/or residual value accordingly. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in surplus or deficit unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.

Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised when the asset is disposed of or when there are no further economic benefits orservice potential expected from the use of the asset.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in surplus or deficit when the item isderecognised. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the differencebetween the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.

Assets which the Municipality holds for rentals to others and subsequently routinely sell as part of the ordinary course of activities, aretransferred to inventories when the rentals end and the assets are available-for-sale. Proceeds from sales of these assets are recognised asrevenue. All cash flows on these assets are included in cash flows from operating activities in the cash flow statement.

The Municipality separately discloses expenditure to repair and maintain property, plant and equipment in the notes to the financialstatements (see note 8).

Derecognition

Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised when the asset is disposed of or when there are no further economic benefits orservice potential expected from the use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant andequipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value and is recognised in the Statement ofFinancial Performance.

1.7 Leases

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classified as anoperating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.

When a lease includes both land and buildings elements, the entity assesses the classification of each element separately.

Operating leases - lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Leased assets are classified as investment property measured at cost model and depreciation on leased assets has been calculated inaccordance with GRAP 17 Property, plant and equipment.

Operating leases - lessee

Operating leases are those leases that do not fall within the scope of the above definition. Operating lease expenses are recognised on astraight-line basis over the lease term.

1.8 Impairment of cash-generating assets

Cash-generating assets are assets used with the objective of generating a commercial return. Commercial return means that positive cashflows are expected to be significantly higher than the cost of the asset.

Impairment is a loss in the future economic benefits or service potential of an asset, over and above the systematic recognition of the lossof the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential through depreciation (amortisation).

Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in the statement of financial position after deducting any accumulateddepreciation and accumulated impairment losses thereon.

18



1.8 Impairment of cash-generating assets (continued)

A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets used with the objective of generating a commercial return that generatescash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

Depreciation (Amortisation) is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable,willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

Recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Useful life is either: the period of time over which an asset is expected to be used by the Municipality; or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the Municipality.

In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the following have been considered:

External sources of information Cessation or near cessation, of the demand or need for services provided by the asset; Significant long-term changes with an adverse effect on the entity that have taken place during the period or will take place in

the near future, in the technological, legal or government policy environment in which the municipality operates.

Internal sources of information Evidence of physical damage of an asset; Increased expenditure on repairs and maintenance on the asset.

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that thecarrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amountis the higher of the assets Fair Value less cost to sell, or its value in use.

1.9 Impairment of non-cash-generating assets

Cash-generating assets are assets used with the objective of generating a commercial return. Commercial return means that positive cashflows are expected to be significantly higher than the cost of the asset.

Non-cash-generating assets are assets other than cash-generating assets.

Impairment is a loss in the future economic benefits or service potential of an asset, over and above the systematic recognition of the lossof the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential through depreciation (amortisation).

Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in the statement of financial position after deducting any accumulateddepreciation and accumulated impairment losses thereon.

A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets managed with the objective of generating a commercial return thatgenerates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.

Depreciation (Amortisation) is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.

Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable,willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

Recoverable service amount is the higher of a non-cash-generating asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

19



1.9 Impairment of non-cash-generating assets (continued)

Useful life is either: the period of time over which an asset is expected to be used by the Municipality; or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the Municipality.

In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the following have been considered:

External sources of information Cessation or near cessation, of the demand or need for services provided by the asset; Significant long-term changes with an adverse effect on the entity that have taken place during the period or will take place in

the near future, in the technological, legal or government policy environment in which the municipality operates.

Internal sources of information Evidence of physical damage of an asset; Increased expenditure on repairs and maintenance on the asset.

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that theserviceable amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable service amount.

The recoverable service amount is the higher of the assets fair value less cost to sell, or its value in use.

The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from the continuing use of an asset andfrom its disposal at the end of its useful life.

1.10 Intangible assets

The Municipality discloses relevant information relating to assets under construction or development, in the notes to the financialstatements (see note 9).

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Examples include computer software, licenses anddevelopment costs.

An asset is identifiable when it: is capable of being separated or divided from an entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually

or together with a related contract, assets or liability, or arises from contractual rights or other legal rights, regardless whether those rights are transferable or separate from the

Municipality or from other rights and obligations.

Initial recognition

The municipality recognises an intangible asset in its Statement of Financial Position only when it is probable that the expected futureeconomic benefits or the service potential that are attributable to the asset will flow to the municipality and the cost or fair value of theasset can be measured reliably.

Internally generated intangible assets are subject to strict recognition criteria before they are capitalised. Research expenditure is nevercapitalised, while development expenditure is only capitalised to the extent that:

the Municipality intends to complete the intangible asset for use or sale the Municipality has the ability to use or sell the asste the Municipality can reliably measure expenditure during development it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset the Municipality has the resources to complete the project, and it is probable that the Municipality will receive future economic benefits or service potential

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software.Internally generated intangible assets are subject to strict recognition criteria before they are capitalised.

20



1.10 Intangible assets (continued)

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Where an intangible asset is acquired by the municipality for no or nominal consideration(i.e. a non-exchange transaction), the cost is deemed to be equal to the fair value of that asset on the date acquired.

Amortisation and impairment

The cost of an intangible asset is amortised over the useful life of 3 - 7 years.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reporting dateand any changes are recognised as a change in accounting estimate in the Statement of Financial Performance.


Intangible assets are carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Derecognition

An intangible asset is derecognised when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit or service potential isderived from it. The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an intangible asset is determined as the difference between the net disposalproceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset. It is recognised in surplus or deficit when the intangible asset is derecognised.

1.11 Investment property

Investment property is property (land or a building - or part of a building - or both) held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both,rather than for:

use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of operations.

Investment property is recognised as an asset when, it is probable that the future economic benefits or service potential that are associatedwith the investment property will flow to the Municipality, and the cost or fair value of the investment property can be measured reliably.

Investment property is initially recognised at cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement.

Where investment property is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, its cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Costs include costs incurred initially and costs incurred subsequently to add to, or to replace a part of, or service a property. If areplacement part is recognised in the carrying amount of the investment property, the carrying amount of the replaced part isderecognised.

Compensation from third parties for investment property that was impaired, lost or given up is recognised in surplus or deficit when thecompensation becomes receivable.

Property held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property in the following circumstances:

When classification is difficult, the criteria used to distinguish investment property from owner-occupied property and from property heldfor sale in the ordinary course of operations, including the nature or type of properties classified as held for strategic purposes, are asfollows:

The nature OR type of properties classified as held for strategic purposes are as follows:

The Municipality separately discloses expenditure to repair and maintain investment property in the notes to the annual financialstatements (see note 7).

The Municipality discloses relevant information relating to assets under construction or development, in the notes to the annual financialstatements (see note 7).

Initial recognition

21



1.11 Investment property (continued)

Investment property is recognised as an asset, only where: It is probable that the future economic benefits or service potential that are associated with the investment property will flow

to the entity; and The cost or fair value of the investment property can be measured reliably.

Investment properties have been initially measured at cost (Transaction costs shall be included in this initial measurement).Transactioncosts are costs which are directly attributable to the expenditure, for example professional fees for legal services, conveyancing fees,property transfer taxes and other transaction costs shall be included in this initial measurement.

If payment for investment property is deferred, its cost is the cash price equivalent.

The difference between this amount and the total payments is recognised as interest expense over the period of credit.

Subsequent measures

Subsequently investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on cost, using the straight-line method over the useful life of the property. Buildings held under Investmentproperty are depreciated on an average useful life of 30 years. Vacant land held under investment properties is not depreciated.

Derecognition

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits orservice potential are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property is includedin surplus or deficit in the period of the retirement or disposal.

1.12 Inventories

Consumable stores, unsold water, and land held for sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

In general, the basis of determining cost is the first-in, first-out method.

For the land component recognised in terms of GRAP 12 land is recognised at cost with the cost based on fair value at date of recognition.

Redundant and slow-moving inventories are identified and written down to current replacement cost.

1.13 Revenue from exchange transactions

Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits or service potential during the reporting period when those inflows result in an increase innet assets, other than increases relating to contributions from owners.

An exchange transaction is one in which the municipality receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished, and directly givesapproximately equal value (primarily in the form of goods, services or use of assets) to the other party in exchange.

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’slength transaction.

Revenue from exchange transactions refers to revenue that accrued to the Municipality directly in return for services rendered/goods sold,the value of which approximates the consideration received or receivable.

Service charges relating to electricity and water are based on consumption. Meters are read on a monthly basis and are recognised asrevenue in the period of consumption. Where meters cannot be read during a particular month, they are provisionally billed with thenecessary adjustments made in the month in which they were read. Revenue from the sale of electricity prepaid meter cards is deferredand recognised as revenue on the consumption basis, commencing on date of purchase.

Service charges relating to refuse removal are recognised on a monthly basis in arrears by applying the approved tariff to each propertythat has improvements. Tariffs are determined per category of property usage, and are levied monthly based on the number of refusecontainers on each property, regardless of whether or not all containers are emptied.

22



1.13 Revenue from exchange transactions (continued)

Service charges from sewerage are based on the water consumption on each developed property using the tariffs approved from Counciland are levied monthly.

Interest and rentals are recognised on a time apportionment basis. Revenue arising from the application of the approved tariff of charges isrecognised when the relevant service is rendered by applying the relevant gazetted tariffs. This includes the issuing of licences and permits.

Income for agency services is recognised on a monthly basis once the income collected on behalf of agents has been quantified. The incomerecognised is in terms of the agency agreement.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods is passed to the consumer.

Revenue from exchange transactions is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account theamount of any trade discounts allowed by the Municipality.

1.14 Revenue from non-exchange transactions

Revenue from non-exchange transactions refers to transactions where the Municipality received revenue from another entity withoutdirectly giving approximately equal value in exchange. Revenue from non-exchange transactions is generally recognised to the extent thatthe related receipt or receivable qualifies for recognition as an asset and there is no liability to repay the amount.

Revenue from property rates is recognised when the legal entitlement to this revenue arises. Collection charges are recognised when suchamounts are legally enforceable. Penalty interest on unpaid rates is recognised on a time proportion basis.

Fines constitute both spot fines and summonses. Revenue from spot fines and summonses is recognised when it is accrued. Spot fines areusually not given directly to the offender. Further legal processes have to be undertaken before the spot fine is enforceable. In respect tosummon, the Public Prosecutor can decide whether to waive the fine, reduce it or prosecute for non-payment by the offender.

Donations are recognised on a cash receipt basis or where the donation is in the form of property, plant and equipment, when such itemsof property, plant and equipment are brought into use furthermore Revenue from public contributions and donations is recognised whenall conditions associated with the contribution have been met or where the contribution is to finance property, plant and equipment, whensuch items of property, plant and equipment qualifies for recognition and first becomes available for use by the Municipality.

Where public contributions have been received but the Municipality has not met the related conditions, a deferred income (liability) isrecognised.

Revenue from the recovery of unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure is based on legislated procedures, including thoseset out in the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act No. 56 of 2003) and is recognised when the recovery thereof from the responsibleCouncillors or officials is virtually certain.

The liability is transferred to revenue as and when the conditions attached to the grant are met. Grants without any conditions attached arerecognised as revenue when the asset is recognised.

1.15 Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised when the Municipality has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the provision can bemade. Provisions are reviewed at reporting sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Contingent Liabilities and Assetsare not recognized but disclosed.

The Municipality does not recognise a contingent liability or contingent asset. A contingent liability is disclosed unless the possibility of anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits isprobable.

Future events that may affect the amount required to settle an obligation are reflected in the amount of a provision where there issufficient objective evidence that they will occur. Gains from the expected disposal of assets are not taken into account in measuring aprovision. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. The present obligation under an onerous contract is recognised andmeasured as a provision.

23



1.16 Housing development fund

Housing selling schemes both complete and in progress at 1 April 1998, were also transferred to the Housing Development Fund. Allproceeds from housing developments, which include rental income and sales of houses, is paid into the Housing Development Fund.Monies standing to the credit of the Housing Development Fund are used to finance housing developments within the municipal area. Anytransfers to and from the fund are recognized in the statement of changes in net assets.

1.17 Retirement benefits

The Municipality provides post-retirement medical aid benefits to retired employees. The entitlement to these benefits is usuallyconditional on the employee remaining in employment up to retirement age.

An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases,mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature,a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.

The Expected costs of these benefits are accrued of the period of employment. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized immediately in the statement of financial performance for the reportingperiod. The Defined benefit obligations are valued once in two years by independent qualified actuaries.

1.18 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance in the period in which they are incurredin accordance with GRAP 5.

1.19 Financial instruments

Classification

The Municipality has types of financial instruments and these can be broadly categorised as either Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets are categorised according to their nature as financial assets at amortised costs and financial liabilities are categorized asfinancial liabilities carried at amortised cost in accordance with GRAP 104.

Financial assets

The classification of financial assets depends on their nature and purpose, and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are categorised as financial assets: loans and receivables including statutory receivables and are initiallyrecognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Amortised cost refers to the initial carrying amount, plus interest, lessrepayments and impairments. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Thefair value of Debtors is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default ordelinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. Impairments aredetermined by discounting expected future cash flows to their present value. Amounts that are receivable within 12 months from thereporting date are classified as current.

An impairment of trade receivables is accounted for by reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables through the use of an allowanceaccount, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance within operating expenses. When a tradereceivable is uncollectible, it is written off.

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the Statement of FinancialPerformance.

Cash and cash equivalents

24



1.19 Financial instruments (continued)

Cash includes cash on hand (including petty cash) and cash with banks (including call deposits). Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquidinvestments, readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are held with registered banking institutions with maturities of threemonths or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, net ofbank overdrafts. The Municipality categorises cash and cash equivalents as Financial assets: loans and receivables. The closing balance onthe bank account is representative of its fair value of the monies held.

Bank overdrafts are recorded based on the facility utilised. Finance charges on bank overdrafts are expensed as incurred. Amounts owing inrespect of bank overdrafts are categorised as Financial liabilities: other financial liabilities carried at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities

Trade and other payables from exchange transactions

Financial liabilities consist of trade payables and borrowings. They are categorised as financial liabilities held at amortised cost, are initiallyrecognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost which is the initial carrying amount, less repayments, plus interest.The fair value of creditors is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reportingdate.

Borrowings and other financial liabilities

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Long-term borrowings are non-derivative financial loans and the Municipality does not hold financial loans for trading purposes. Long-termborrowings are utilised. Other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost.

The interbank rate or prime lending rate is not the risk-free interest rate, however it has been used as a benchmark for determining themarket related rate of interest which is not significantly different to the current rates on long-term loans, hence the fair value of these loansequates their amortised cost.

1.20 Heritage assets

A heritage asset is defined as an asset that has a cultural, environmental, historical, natural, scientific, technological or artistic significanceand is held and preserved indefinitely for the benefit of present and future generations. A heritage asset shall be recognised as an asset if,and only if,

(a) It is probable that the economic benefit or service potential will flow to the Municipality,

(b) The cost or the fair value will be measured reliably.

The Municipality separately discloses expenditure to repair and maintain heritage assets in the notes to the financial statements (see note11).

The Municipality discloses relevant information relating to assets under construction or development, in the notes to the financialstatements (see note 11).

Initial measurement

A heritage asset that qualifies for recognition as an asset shall be measured at its cost (Cash price equivalent at the recognition date).Where a heritage asset is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, its cost is deemed to be its fair value as at the date of acquisition.

25



1.20 Heritage assets (continued)


Heritage assets are not depreciated, since their long economic life and high residual value mean that any depreciation would be immaterial.

After recognition as an asset, heritage assets shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The Municipality assessesat each reporting date whether there are any indicators of impairment of Heritage assets.

Where there is an indication of impairment the assets are recorded at their recoverable amount or their recoverable service amount.

Derecognition

A Heritage asset is de-recognised when it is disposed or where there is no future economic benefits or service potential are expected fromits use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from de-recognition, is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any,and the carrying amount of the heritage asset. Such difference is recognised in surplus or deficit when the heritage asset is derecognized.

1.21 Short term benefits

The cost of short-term employee benefits, (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as paid vacation leave andsick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and arenot discounted.

The expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlementor, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absence occurs. The expected cost of bonus payments is recognised as an expensewhen there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past performance.

1.22 Grants in aid

The Municipality donates money, goods or services to individuals, organisations and other sectors of government from time to time. Whenmaking these donations, the Municipality does not:Receive any goods or services directly in return as would be expected in a purchase or sale transaction;Expect to be repaid in future; orExpect a financial return, as would be expected from an investment.

These transfers are recognized in the statement of financial performance as expenses in the period during which events giving rise to thetransfer occurred.

1.23 Budget information

The budget is prepared on an accrual basis. The budget amounts are scheduled as a separate additional financial statement called thestatement of comparison of budget and actual amounts.

Explanatory comments are provided in the notes to the annual financial statements, first stating reasons for changes from approved to finalbudget and secondly reasons for overspending or underspending on line items.

1.24 Unauthorised expenditure

Unauthorized expenditure is expenditure that has not been budgeted, expenditure that is not in terms of the conditions of an allocationreceived from another sphere of government, municipality or organ of state and expenditure in the form of a grant that is not permitted interms of the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act No.56 of 2003).

1.25 Irregular expenditure

Irregular expenditure is expenditure that is contrary to the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act No.56 of 2003), the Municipal SystemsAct (Act No.32 of 2000), the Public Office Bearers Act (Act No. 20 of 1998) or is in contravention of the Municipality’s supply chainmanagement policy. Irregular expenditure excludes unauthorised expenditure.

Irregular expenditure excludes unauthorised expenditure. Irregular expenditure is accounted for as expenditure in the Statement ofFinancial Performance and where recovered, it is subsequently accounted for as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance.

26



1.26 Fruitless and wasteful expenditure

Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is expenditure that was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised.Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is accounted for as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Performance and where recovered, it issubsequently accounted for as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance.

1.27 Value-added Tax

VAT

The Municipality accounts for Value Added Tax on payments basis. This means that VAT is declared to the South African Revenue Servicesas input VAT or output VAT only when payments are made to suppliers or payments are received for goods or services. The net output VATon debtors where money has not been received or creditors where payment has not been made is disclosed separately in the Statement ofFinancial Position in terms of GRAP 1.

1.28 Internal reserves

Capital replacement reserve (CRR)

In order to finance the provision of infrastructure and other items of property, plant and equipment from internal sources, amounts aretransferred from the accumulated surplus/(deficit) to the CRR. A corresponding amount is transferred to a designated CRR bank orinvestment account. The cash in the designated CRR bank account can only be utilised to finance items of property, plant and equipment.The CRR is reduced and the accumulated surplus/(deficit) is credited by a corresponding amount when the amounts in the CRR are utilised.

The following guidelines are set for the creation and utilisation of the CRR:

1) The cash funds that back up the CRR are invested until utilised.2) The CRR may only be utilised for purchasing items of property, plant and equipment, and not their maintenance, unless otherwisedirected by Council.3) Whenever an asset is purchased out of the CRR, an amount equal to the cost price of the asset is transferred from CRR and accumulatedsurplus is credited by a corresponding amount.

1.29 Events after reporting date

Events after reporting date are those events, both favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the reporting date and the date whenthe financial statements are authorised for issue. Two types of events can be identified:

those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the reporting date (adjusting events after the reporting date); and those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting date (non-adjusting events after the reporting date).

The Municipality will adjust the amount recognised in the financial statements to reflect adjusting events after the reporting date once theevent occurred.

The Municipality will disclose the nature of the event and an estimate of its financial effect or a statement that such estimate cannot bemade in respect of all material non-adjusting events, where non-disclosure could influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of the financial statements.

40. Financial risk management

Financial risk management

The municipality’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.

The municipality’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potentialadverse effects on the municipality’s financial performance. The municipality uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain riskexposures. Risk management is carried out by financial services department under policies approved by the accounting officer. Municipality'sfinancial services department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the municipality’s operating units. Theaccounting officer provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreignexchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment ofexcess liquidity.

40. Financial risk management (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the municipality will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The municipality's approach is to ensurethat sufficient liquidity is available to meet its liabilities when due. The municipality uses cash flow forecasts to ensure that sufficient cash isavailable to meet expected operating expenses. This is guided by working capital and revenue enhancement policy.

The municipality’s risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future commitments. The municipality manages liquidity riskthrough an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities.

The credit profile of the City of uMhlathuze issued by Moody's Investor Service for the 2018/19 financial year, reflects its prudent financialpolicies, solid operating performance and a strong liquidity position, with a rating of (Ba2).

Cash flow forecasts are prepared and adequate utilised borrowing facilities are monitored.

The table below analyses the municipality’s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupingsbased on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table arethe contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is notsignificant.

Credit risk

Credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits, cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and trade debtors. The municipality onlydeposits cash with major banks with high quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counter-party.

Trade receivables comprise a widespread customer base. Management evaluated credit risk relating to customers on an ongoing basis. Ifcustomers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit qualityof the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal orexternal ratings in accordance with limits set by Council. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Sales to retail customers aresettled in cash or using major credit cards. Credit guarantee insurance is purchased when deemed appropriate.

Financial assets exposed to credit risk at year end were as follows:

`

Financial instrument 2019 2018Investments 390 000 000 415 000 000Cash and cash equivalents 71 337 933 45 422 240Long-term receivables - -Consumer debtors 361 728 008 412 170 563Receivables from non exchange transactions 105 106 988 97 606 357

Market risk

Interest rate risk

As the municipality has no significant interest-bearing assets, the municipality’s income and operating cash flows are substantiallyindependent of changes in market interest rates.

The municipality’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the municipality to cashflow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the municipality to fair value interest rate risk. Municipality policy is tomaintain its borrowings in fixed rate instruments.
