EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Introduction Integrated Development Planning is a central planning tool for government that embodies local government development goals and a comprehensive service delivery programme. Integrated planning has been developed as a consolidated municipal wide planning process that provides a framework for planning of future development in a municipality. It ensures horizontal and vertical co-ordination and integration across the national, provincial and local spheres of government. In addition, the IDP requires community participation and stakeholder involvement. The integrated development planning process is therefore critical for the success of every South African municipality’s endeavours to bring about responsive, developmental and accountable local government. During the State of the Nation Address of, Government emphasized the importance of every South African Municipality to have a realistic IDP to meet the country’s developmental objectives, as well as the high aspirations of the South African people. Mnquma Local Municipality has already produced three full five year IDPs, that is, 2002 – 2007, 2007- 2012, and 2012 – 2017. The Municipality is now reviewing the 2012-2017 IDP for the second year in accordance with section 34 of the Local Government Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000. The focus of this IDP is within the context of a seamless integrated strategic planning process. The Municipality has developed a set of long term goals and five year objectives (reviewed annually) that will form the basis of the annual business planning and budgeting carried out on an ongoing basis. The IDP will also be further moulded by inputs from communities and civil society, as well as direction from the political leadership. A five year IDP supports a single, integrated planning process, with clear demarcation between long-term, medium term and short term planning. The five year IDP should therefore be understood as an interpretation of strategy and political priorities into a detailed Executive Mayoral Plan that is to become the basis for budget choices and actual outcomes for residents. Short term business plans, in this context, are seen as implementation tools. 1.2 Legislative Framework 1.2.1 The Local Government: Municipal System Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) as amended compels municipalities to draw up the IDP’s as a singular inclusive and strategic development plan. In terms of this Act, a municipality produces an IDP every five years comprising of the following components: (i) A vision of the long-term development of the area. (ii) An assessment of the existing level of development which must include an identification of the need for basic municipal service. (iii) Municipality’s development priorities and objectives for its elected term. (iv) Municipality’s development strategies which must be aligned with any national, provincial sectoral plans and planning requirements. (v) Spatial development framework which must include the provision of basic guidelines for a land use management system. (vi) Municipality’s operational strategies. (vii) A Disaster Management Plan. (viii) Financial Plan. (ix) The key performance indicators and performing targets. Page 4 of 386 Mnquma Local Municipality - Final Reviewed Integrated Development Plan for the period 2014-215 1.2.2 The Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (2001) set out the following further requirements for the IDP: (i) An Institutional Framework for implementation of the IDP and to address the Municipality’s internal transformation. (ii) Investment initiatives that should be clarified. (iii) Development initiatives including infrastructure, physical, social and institutional development. (iv) All known projects, plans and programmes to be implemented within the Municipality by any organ of state. 1.2.3 In addition, the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) provides for closer alignment between the annual budget and the compilation of the IDP. This can be understood as a response to the critique that IDP’s took place in isolation from financial planning and were rarely implemented in full as a result. Specifically, section 21 (1) of the Act requires that a municipality co-ordinates the process of preparing the Annual Budget and the IDP to ensure that both the budget and IDP are mutually consistent. Key to ensuring the co-ordination of the IDP and Annual Budget is the development of the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) also refered to in this IDP as the Annual Operational Plan. The SDBIP is a detailed plan approved by the Executive Mayor of a municipality for implementation of service delivery and Annual Budget. The SDBIP should include monthly revenue and expenditure projections, quarterly service delivery targets and performance indicators. 1.3 Profile of Mnquma Local Municipality According to the 2011 Census results, Mnquma Municipality has a total population of approximately 252 390 people, 99% of which are Xhosa speaking. The remaining 1% of the population includes English, Afrikaans, Zulu, and Sesotho speaking people. This female dominated municipal area comprises of 53. 4% female and 46.7% male of the total population and consists of approximately 69732 households. A study of the age distribution revealed that the bulk of the population, approximately 39%, is children (0-19 years). About 5% falls within the pension group (over 56 years), whilst 55% are economically active (20-64 years). This means that 45% of the total population is depended on the 55% that is economically active. As part of the Eastern Cape Province, Mnquma is one of the municipalities with the highest levels of poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. An estimated 11% is unemployed, only 25% is employed while 64% of the municipal population is considered economically inactive. The area has limited employment opportunities and this has huge implications on the increased need for welfare and indigent support in the municipal area. The municipality therefore needs to put priority into service provision, skills and social development. Further to this, the municipal area also lacks a skills base. Statistics depict low levels of education in this municipal area. 7% of Mnqumas’ population has no schooling and the municipality has moved improved from 8% to 31% of its population that has completed primary school. In the 10 year period it has been discovered tha the municipality has also improved from 10% to 52% that has completed grade 12 while no more than 9% of the population have a higher education.
