1. BACKGROUND
Mahikeng Local Municipality approved its five-year IDP in 2016. This document was used to guide the activities
of the municipality. In May 2016, the 5 year IDP was developed and approved by the Council to guide the
development interventions for the term 2017-22. This five-year IDP responded to the national imperatives in
relation to local government including, amongst others, ensuring universal access to basic services, strengthening
the developmental capacity of the state and improving the performance of municipalities.
2. ADOPTION/APPROVAL OF IDP
In terms of the Municipal System Act 2000, in compliance with Section 34 of the above mentioned Act, the
Municipal Council is required to conduct annual review of Integrated Development Planning. This should be done
in accordance with an assessment of its performance measurement in terms of section 41 of the above
mentioned Act. The IDP process plan was presented to Council with a schedule of meetings for the ward
consultation in August 2018 and the item was deferred by Council. The IDP process plan was followed by a
programme from the Office of the Speaker which grouped the wards into five clusters held from 18 November to
28 November 2019.Due to the Covid 19 the municipality had to suspend its Council meeting to be presented with
the draft IDP and the budget including its stakeholder meetings like IDP Rep Forum.
The process of review of the Municipality’s IDP should be informed by the following overarching guiding principles,
politically acceptable and administratively managed system that was acceptable to political role players at all
levels. The process was also flexible to allow for adjustment due to changes in the environment. Where possible
dates, strategies were also changed to suite the prevailing circumstances.
The IDP review process was inclusive, transparent and open to all. The programme was advertised on the
newspapers and announcements made at ward level to make general public aware of the IDP community
participation meetings. As it is indicated above, the prevalence of Corona Virus has affected all the remaining
activities that were to be followed in the process. However, Mahikeng Municipality has adopted a strategy to
gather provincial government information from the Office of the Premier Project Office which was to inform ward
communities about the progress of government service.

1. INTRODUCTION, CONTEXT AND OVERVIEW
In terms of the Municipal Systems Act 2000 (Act No 32 of 2000), municipalities need to annually review their IDP’s in
order to assess their performance and changing circumstances. The following are the reasons to review an IDP:
To inform other components of the municipality’s processes including institutional financial planning
and budgeting;
To ensure proper integration and alignment; and
To reflect on internal and external changes that might have an impact on priority issues, objectives,
strategies, projects and programmes.
SECTION A
BACKGROUND
Mahikeng Local Municipality approved its five-year IDP in 2016. This document was used to guide the activities of the
municipality. In May 2016, the 5 year IDP was developed and approved by the Council to guide the development
interventions for the term 2016-22. This five-year IDP responded to the national imperatives in relation to local government
including, amongst others, ensuring universal access to basic services, strengthening the developmental capacity of the
state and improving the performance of municipalities.
The Local Government Turnaround Strategy as well as the 12 Outcomes of Government (with a focus on Outcome 9 for
local government) was some of the key pillars that shaped the city’s development priorities as contained in the approved
IDP 2019/20. This IDP review seeks to ensure that the municipality continues to deliver on its five year-promise while also
identifying areas of improvement in line with the emerging policy shifts and trends.
In 2010/11 the national government initiated a series of dialogue sessions which were aimed at understanding the
challenges that the country faced. This was a step towards understanding the country towards the development of a long
term vision that is not only aspirational but responds to some of the challenges of the country as well. As a result of this
process, a diagnostic report on the state of the country was developed and published and it highlighted the following:
4
Spatial divides hobble inclusive development;
Public services are uneven and often of poor quality;
The public health system cannot meet the demand or sustain quality;
The economy is unsustainably resources intensive; and
Infrastructure is poorly located, inadequate and under-maintained.
This report emphasized the need to reduce poverty and eliminate inequality to address the challenges highlighted above.
These two elements – poverty reduction and poverty elimination are a focus on the National Development Plan (NDP)
that was approved by Cabinet in November 2012 following a Diagnostic Report. The NDP provided a vision for the society
that South Africa aspires for in 2030. Central to the NDP are the following areas of intervention:
• Bringing about faster economic growth, higher investment and greater labour absorption;
• Promoting active citizenry to strengthen development, democracy and accountability;
• Focus on key capabilities of people and the state;
• Building a capable and developmental state;
• Encouraging strong leadership throughout society to work together to solve problems; and
• Uniting all South Africans around common programme to achieve prosperity and equality.
The work done by the municipality has been and will continue to be in line with the national objectives. The key
programmes implemented in line with the NDP will be continued during the long, medium and short term to address the
varying challenges and needs of the citizens.
The municipality recognises that there are still a number of challenges that it faces, which characterises the development
phase through which most South African cities are undergoing. It is for this reason that in compiling this IDP review,
attention is paid towards accelerating some of the municipality’s interventions to improve the social and economic state
of the citizens while pursuing a sustainable path towards development.
This section provides a brief overview of the contents of each chapter of this IDP document. Consideration has been
made to ensure that the document is in line with Chapter 5 of the Municipal Systems Act regarding process towards the
development of the IDP and the contents thereof.

Evidence based decision making is a universally recognized paradigm of efficient management of economic and social
affairs and of effective governance of society today. The most important aspect in any society is human capital. In order
to provide a numerical profile of the nation which is the outcome of evidence based decision making at all levels, the
following questions need to be answered
Census information therefore becomes the demographic, population and economic baseline information that is collected
periodically to inform planning, monitoring and evaluation at all three spheres of government. Census information is also
indispensable for monitoring universally recognized and internationally adopted Millennium Development Goals. The

Household income
The municipality is a predominantly rural municipality and its rural economy is unable to provide
individuals with remunerative jobs or self-employment opportunities. An estimated amount of about 13755
people in the municipality had no income in 2011. This amounts to 4.72%. Taking the 1.16% annual
growth to date this therefore means that to date this figure has risen to 14 405. In general terms, the
majority of households in the municipality earns less than the poverty line (about R1, 600 per household
per month) and can be considered poor. Those classified as economically active are employed in the
services sector. This sector is dominated by the services in terms of the various departments that render
services such as health, justice, local government, education, SAPS, etc. Table below indicates the
income categories within the municipality
The income profile of households within the municipality has shown a marked improvement since 2016.
It should also be noted that most of the households with some form of income rely on social grants e.g.
old age pension and disability and child support grants.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
POLICE STATIONS
There are five police stations situated in the area of Mahikeng Local Municipality i.e. Mmabatho,
Mafikeng, Mooifontein, Ottoshoop and Lomanyaneng. Crime and security is perceived to be the second
biggest problem in Mahikeng and the need for police stations and improved safety is an important priority
for the municipality. The tables below present the status of police stations within the Mafikeng Municipality
area. Focus was on the two main police stations, which is Mmabatho and Mafikeng police station
Molopo Magisterial Court in Mahikeng consists of The Regional and District Courts. Although these two
courts work hand in hand when it comes to criminal matters, The Regional court deals with more serious
offences than The District Court. Previously it dealt with criminal matters only, but civil matter has since
been introduced and will be in operation soon. The District court is also known as the court of First
Appearances. Any offence that is reported will first appear at the District Court, but because it has
maximum sentence of 3 years, anything beyond that is referred to The Regional Court. The table below
indicates the types of cases that the Regional and District court deal with as well as its personnel.

HIGH COURT
In Mafikeng we have a high court (formerly known as the Supreme Court) which is established in all nine
provinces and have the power to hear Civil, Criminal and Constitutional cases. Any person bringing a
constitutional case to the high court may appeal to the Constitutional court if he/she is unhappy about the
outcome of the case. In non-Constitutional cases, the right to appeal is to the supreme court of appeal.
The Mafikeng Provincial Hospital and Bophelong Psychiatric Hospital is managed by the Provincial
Department of Health of the North West Province. The Victoria Hospital was built according to original
Victorian architectural style and dates back to early 1900’s. This is also a private hospital run by a
consortium of doctors and businesspersons. All these hospitals are, however, accessible to the
community 24hrs a day. Construction is underway for the construction of the Bophelong psychiatric
hospital which will house all the 368 psychiatric wards of the hospital.
As indicated through the IDP consultation processes, not enough has been done regarding the gathering
of information on the status of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the Mahikeng Local Municipality area. However,
Mahikeng Municipal Council approved a policy on HIV/AIDS in the workplace and the Provincial Local
Aids Council is one other institution targeting to deal with HIV/AIDS related matters in the community.

HOSPITALS IN OUR MUNICIPALITY
The municipality is served by twenty-eight (28) clinics and community health centers as well as five (5)
mobile clinics servicing rural wards where there are no clinics. All those clinics and community health
centers in the Greater Mafikeng Sub District are listed below:

SECTION C
This section of the IDP is based on the strategic programme of action, which was compiled as part of this
process. Strategy formulation is a long term plan that addresses the ‘what?’ of an organization. What is
it that we want to become? What is it that we need to elevate in order to achieve our vision, mission and
KPA’s? It also structures the intended plans to achieve the outcomes. It gives a framework on how to
allocate resources, how to address a balance between addressing basic services while focusing enough
on economic growth and a sustainable future.
The strategies formulation also involves choosing which strategies will benefit the municipality and its
communities most effectively. Such decisions commit the municipality to specific interventions and
development programmes over a specific period of time. A well-developed strategy also assists the
municipality in developing a focused and disciplined organization that directs its energy towards the right
things.
The municipality has during the strategic planning session in Stone Hedge Africa reviewed its vision and
mission that is intended to be guiding principles for the long, medium, and short term objectives.
VISION
A vision is a compelling picture of the future. It involves the heart and minds of the employees of a
municipality to motivate them towards co-operation to create the idealized picture.
30
• The following vision was adopted for the municipality “To be a City that will create and promote
an enabling environment for the private and public sector investment in building rural economy
of the municipality in the context of the Villages, Townships and Small Dorpies through National
Development Plan
MISSION
A mission describes the purpose of a municipality. It describes the area on which the municipality should
focus in order to achieve its vision.
To foster local democracy through regular public participation and transparency for service delivery
• To Provide and maintain infrastructure through the concept of Villages, Townships and Small
Dorpies.
• To Reconstruct and develop Villages, Townships and Small Dorpies through the municipality’s
Integrated Development Plan.
• To accelerate the concept of Rebranding, Repositioning and Renewal of the City in collaboration
with social partners.
This chapter highlights the continuous strengthening of Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) and rigorous
sectoral engagements with other stakeholders. It reflects and highlights some of the key national and
provincial implementation frameworks to which the municipality aligns its interventions.
Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) refers to the complex and interdependent relations amongst the
national, provincial and local spheres of government as well as the coordination of public policies amongst
these three spheres. In essence, this means that the governance, administrative and fiscal arrangements
operating at the interface between national, provincial and local governments must be managed to
promote the effective delivery of services.
This is guided by the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, 2005 (Act 13 of 2005), which aims to
provide within the principle of co-operative government set out in Chapter 3 of the Constitution, a
framework for the national government, provincial governments and local governments, and all organs of
state, to facilitate coordination in the implementation of policy and legislation, including:
coherent government;
effective provision of services;
monitoring implementation of policy and legislation; and
realisation of national priorities.
According to the MSA (2003), 24(1-4), the planning of local government, must at all times be integrated
and aligned to the planning and strategies of the national and provincial spheres of government. In
31
addition, any organ of state which is initiating legislation at national or provincial level that affects the
planning at local government level, must first consult with organised local government before the
legislation can be duly effected. The sections below give effect to Intergovernmental Relations by
considering national and provincial imperatives especially for the 2019/20 financial year that are used to
guide the development of this IDP.
Mahikeng Local Municipality, within the spirit of Inter-government relations, supports and aligned to the
national and provincial strategies such as Government 12 Outcome Delivery Agreement, National
Development Perspective, Local Government Turn- around Strategy, and the National Development
Plan, amongst others.
In 2010, Cabinet approved 12 national outcomes to address the strategic priorities of government. Each
outcome has a limited number of outputs and sub outputs as well as clear targets. These outcomes and
outputs will be the strategic focus of the government until the year 2014. The following is the list of the
12 outcomes as well as the role of the City in relation to each outcome.
Outcome 9
The vision of Outcome 9 is a responsive, accountable, effective and efficient local government system
whereby we have restored the confidence of our people in the local sphere of government as the primary
expression of the developmental state by 2011 and beyond. Key ways to achieve this vision are by:
32
The output objectives set-out on the Outcome 9 are as follows;
Outcome 9 Outputs
Output 1: improve access to basic services
Sub-outputs: Improve universal access to basic services by 2014 as follows:
Water from 92% to 100%
Sanitation from 69% to 100%

CWP to support the creation of 4.5 million EPWP job opportunities
30% of all CWP job opportunities can be associated with functional co-
operatives at local levels by 2014 functional.
Sub – outputs:
33
SECTION D
South Africa will become a nation in which investment in infrastructure and development programmes
support government’s growth and development objectives:
• By focusing economic growth and employment creation in areas where this is most effective
and sustainable;
• By supporting restructuring where feasible to ensure greater competitiveness;
• By fostering development on the basis of local potential; and
• By ensuring that development institutions are able to provide basic needs throughout the
country.
The NSDP thus seeks to focus the bulk of fixed investment of government on those areas with the
potential for sustainable economic development, as it is in these areas where government’s objectives of
promoting economic growth and alleviating poverty will best be achieved.
The President appointed the National Planning Commission in May 2010 to draft a vision and national
development plan. The commission started its work with a baseline study and released a diagnostic report
in June 2011 wherein it identified South Africa’s achievements and shortcomings since 1994; two primary
reasons were identified such as:
Failure to implemented policies,
An absence of broad partnerships to work towards post 1994 objectives,
The report also identified nine primary challenges and they are as follows:
1. Too few people work
2. The quality of school education for black people is poor
3. Infrastructure is poorly located, inadequate and under-maintained
4. Spatial divides hobble inclusive development
5. The economy is unsustainably resource intensive
6. The public health system cannot meet demand or sustain quality
7. Public services are uneven and often of poor quality
8. Corruption levels are high
9. South Africa remains a divided society.
The NDP in brief aims to achieve the following by 2030:
34
Eliminate income poverty > Reduce the proportion of households with a monthly income
below R419 per person (in 2009 prices) from 39 percent to zero.
Reduce inequality – The Gini coefficient should fall from 0.69 to 0.6.
The following milestones have also been set to achieve the NDP
Increase employment from 13 million in 2010 to 24 million in 2030.
Raise per capita income from R50 000 in 2010 to R120 000 by 2030.
Increase the share of national income of the bottom 40 per cent from 6 per cent to 10
per cent.
Establish a competitive base of infrastructure, human resources and regulatory
frameworks.
Ensure that skilled, technical, professional and managerial posts better reflect the
country's racial, gender and disability makeup.
Broaden ownership of assets to historically disadvantaged groups.
Increase the quality of education so that all children have at least two years of preschool
education and all children in grade 3 can read and write.
Provide affordable access to quality health care while promoting health and wellbeing.
Establish effective, safe and affordable public transport.
Produce sufficient energy to support industry at competitive prices, ensuring access for
poor households, while reducing carbon emissions per unit of power by about one-third.
Ensure that all South Africans have access to clean running water in their homes.
Make high-speed broadband internet universally available at competitive prices.
Realise a food trade surplus, with one-third produced by small-scale farmers or
households.
Ensure household food and nutrition security.
Entrench a social security system covering all working people, with social protection for
the poor and other groups in need, such as children and people with disabilities.
Realise a developmental, capable and ethical state that treats citizens with dignity.
Ensure that all people live safely, with an independent and fair criminal justice system.
Broaden social cohesion and unity while redressing the inequities of the past.
Play a leading role in continental development, economic integration and human rights.
35
On the basis of the of the above milestones to achieve the NDP, 10 critical actions were also identified
1. A social compact to reduce poverty and inequality, and raise employment and
investment.
2. A strategy to address poverty and its impacts by broadening access to employment,
strengthening the social wage, improving public transport and raising rural incomes.
3. Steps by the state to professionalise the public service, strengthen accountability,
improve coordination and prosecute corruption.
4. Boost private investment in labour-intensive areas, competitiveness and exports, with
adjustments to lower the risk of hiring younger workers.
5. An education accountability chain, with lines of responsibility from state to classroom.
6. Phase in national health insurance, with a focus on upgrading public health facilities,
producing more health professionals and reducing the relative cost of private health care.
7. Public infrastructure investment at 10 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP),
financed through tariffs, public-private partnerships, taxes and loans and focused on
transport, energy and water.
8. Interventions to ensure environmental sustainability and resilience to future shocks.
9. New spatial norms and standards – identifying cities, improving transport, locating jobs
where people live, upgrading informal settlements and fixing housing market gaps.
10. Reduce crime by strengthening criminal justice and improving community environments.
- Spatial Development Frameworks are concerned with the growth and development of a
Municipality and local communities. These frameworks are used to guide the decisions of the
Municipality in relation to land development;
- In addition, Spatial Development Frameworks provide strategic frameworks (precinct plans) that
are area specific to deal with the development pressures experienced in a particular area.
There are quite a few number of Acts that compels a Municipality to adopt a Spatial Development
Framework for its area of jurisdiction. Some of these legislative act includes:
a. Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, Act 16 of 2013 (SPLUMA)
Section 12 (1) of SPLUMA states that all spheres of Government must prepare Spatial
Development Frameworks that:
• Represent the spatial development vision of the responsible sphere of Government;
• Guide planning and development decisions across all sectors of government;
Section 21 of SPLUMA provides for the contents of the Municipal Spatial Development
Framework.
36
b. Municipal Systems Act, 2000
Section 26(e) of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 identifies the Spatial Development Framework
as one of the essential components of a Municipal Integrated Development Plan;
Minimum requirements for Municipal SDF are set out in Chapter 2, Section 4 of the Local
Government: Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations, 2001 and include:
• Identifying programs and projects for the development of land within the Municipality;
• Setting out a Capital Investment Framework for the Municipality’s development programs
• Providing a visual representation of the desired spatial form of the Municipality
The Municipality has a Spatial Development Framework (SDF) that was adopted in 2014. This SDF has
however been under review and is soon to be adopted by Council. The contents of this sections refer to
the reviewed SDF, which covers all the areas within the Mahikeng Local Municipality. In addition, the
reviewed SDF provides the long-term spatial vision for the entire Municipality and gives effect to the
development principles, norms and standards as prescribed by the SPLUMA Act.
Municipal Challenges
Mahikeng is a Capital City of the North West province and is home to the head offices of the sector
departments in the province. The town is located in close proximity to the development corridors, which
is convenient since Mahikeng serves as a regional node for the neighboring towns. Mahikeng Local
Municipality, much like any other local authorities has its own challenges which contribute to the lack of
socio-economic development in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Municipality. Below are some of
the challenges encountered by the municipality:
- Lack of diversity in the economy
- Low levels of income and living standards
- Lack of proper land use management
- Low residential densities
- Lack of sufficient health, education and other social facilities in some areas
- Land grabs
- Poor environment management
The long term spatial vision of the Mahikeng Spatial Development Framework is to:
‘Address key National, Provincial and Local priorities and principals in order to enhance
sustainable urban and rural development and to improve the livelihood of people by focussing
the provision of socio-economic infrastructure in areas with the highest growth potential but still
attending to the basic needs of people’
The Mahikeng Spatial Development Framework has outlined some key proposals which are premised on
spatial and development concepts which are meant to bring to fruition the spatial vision of the Municipal
Spatial Development Framework. Some of these development/spatial concepts include:
1. Development Nodes (District Nodes, Regional Nodes, Neighborhood Nodes, etc)
2. Corridors development
3. Urban Edge demarcation to avoid Urban Sprawl
4. Integrated Human Settlement Development (Through Township Establishment process)
5. Municipal Open Space Systems
6. Mixed land use zones
7. Densification/Compact development

Section 26(c) of the Municipal Systems ACT 2000 (Act No. 32 of 2000) stipulates that an Integrated
Development Plan must reflect, The Council’s development priorities and objectives for its elected term,
including its local economic development aims and its internal transformation needs”.
The newly elected Council took office in 2016 and have expressed its political objectives for their term
(2016- 2021). The Strategic objectives are intended to set programmes in motion for the five- year IDP
programme. The Strategic objectives emanating from that strategic planning are summarized as follows
41
The abovementioned objectives were translated into the municipal Programme of Action and
implemented from 2016/17 financial year onwards. They were also aligned or compounded within the
broader Local Government KPA’s as prescribed to the municipal environment by DPLG Regulation R805,
2006:
The following priorities areas where committed for implementation for the duration of the political term
and going forward:

The total kilometres of roads within the municipality is estimated to be 294.8km Surfaced roads
infrastructure within the urban part of the municipality are reported to be more than 50 years old; thus
some requiring persistent pothole patching and resealing while some require total reconstruction. About
100kms of rural roads are gravel roads. Internal roads in all the rural wards need major constructions and
constant maintenance. Mahikeng Local Municipality has surfaced about 12km of roads in the 2017/2018
financial year.
Some of the issues raised during ward level consultation with regards to roads and storm water include
amongst others tarring / rehabilitation of main and internal roads in rural and urban areas and regular
maintenance thereof; there is generally a confusion amongst communities as to which roads are national
roads, provincial, and municipal roads. This developmental are affected all the 35 wards which constitute
Mahikeng Local Municipality. It has also been indicated in the urban part of the municipality that there is
inadequate storm water system (water fogs in the streets during rainy periods). This development area
has been identified as problematic especially along main roads (taxi and bus routes) in the rural areas
where public transports and other developmental services does not reach the public.
The Department of Public Works and Roads will prioritise VTSD unpaved or gravel roads that are badly
affected by the rains and floods mainly in the VTSD areas. Focus will be put on strategic economic roads
that connect villages to villages, villages to townships and villages to small dorpies.
The Highway from Lichtenburg to Mafikeng is under construction for R500 million.
The Municipality upon request by the Department of Public Works on its intervention has allocated major
roads for rehabilitation, maintenance and control. The following roads are undergoing declamation and
proclamation process thereof; Dr Albert Luthuli (from Nelson Mandela to Bray Road), Nelson Mandela
(from Danville to Tsetse, N18), Mr T road to Bray Road and Mokala via Tontonyane to Moletsamongwe
– Bray N18. The Department has offered to carry out the takeover process through their own funding.
Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality (NMMDM) is a Water Services Authority (WSA), whereas the
Mahikeng Local Municipality is a Water Service Provider. The WSA entered into a Service Level
Agreement with the Mahikeng Local Municipality for the municipality to be the Water Service Provider
(WSP) at the urban areas and for Sedibeng Water to be a bulk water supplier and Water Services
Provider at the rural areas. Sedibeng Water is purifying water and provides Bulk Water to the municipality.
43
Water borne sanitation is 100% in the urban and VIP in the rural areas. The Municipality is responsible
for the operation and maintenance of both water and sanitation distribution network, including the two (2)
Wastewater Treatment Works and their associated 17 Pump Stations.
There are 30 Wards in the rural areas provided with Free Basic Water through 105 boreholes and water
tankering (community tanks & funerals). There are 13 Boreholes to be strategically drilled in the Municipal
jurisdiction. The community is also provided with Free Basic Water for community tanks and funerals
reported by Ward Councilors which is a function of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District municipality.
The Challenge is the continuous theft of the cables and the pumps that cost the municipality a lot of funds
to repair and replace. This goes for the electromechanical equipment and machinery operating the
wastewater treatment plants, the lifting stations and water network valves.
The municipality is currently busy with refurbishment of the Waste Water Treatment Plant’s High Voltage
Electrical Cables, Aeration Motors, Integrated Security Fencing and Pumps at the Pump Stations with a
backup Generator at a cost of R21 million. During the IDP consultations it came out that there is high
demand of proper sanitation and water systems in many rural areas.
Mahikeng Local Municipality is acceding to the Directive that has been issued by the Head of Department:
Local Government and Human Settlements which instructs the Local Municipalities to apply for Water
Service Authority status in line with the EXCO/BBPCC pronouncements made in 2015.Free Basic Water
Service is an unfunded mandate for the Local Municipality as it has become costly to the municipality,
hence the Water Service Authority application. The municipality is at a cold face of the community, hence
its continuous intervention by providing free basic water services; water tankering where there are no
water sources less than 200m and for indigent funerals & borehole drilling coupled with equipping for
instant water provision.
The Municipality does not derive its fair share of the DORA allocation on the Equitable Share of Free
Basic Services.
Household electrification
Mahikeng Local Municipality does not have an electricity distribution license. ESKOM is supplying
electricity in the whole of the municipal area. The municipality has started the process of acquisition of
the electricity license and to date two meetings were held with NERSA to fast rack the process. The
strategic plan has also identify that the municipality is not currently charging basic tariff for the provision
of the public lighting which needs to be considered in the future budget.
The Municipality has been losing revenue by not charging of basic electricity tariff to enable continuous
maintenance of public illumination services. The Municipality intends to introduce the basic charges on
electricity to mitigate the cost of service.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
In terms of the National Environmental Management: Waste Act No 59 of 2008 section 9, municipalities
are obligated to provide waste collection services. The waste management function resides within the
44
Community Services Directorate of the municipality and comprises of 141 employees. The Waste
Management function deals primarily with waste collection in the urban areas of the municipality,
including wheelie bins, kerbside collections and skip collections, cleaning of illegal dumps, street cleaning
and management of the landfill site.
The municipality collects refuse from the kerbs at 15 000 domestic service points once per week for all
the households as they are issued 240 litter bins. Refuse from business premises and industrial areas
are removed at least once per week, but service points handling food are provided with a collection
service twice per week. Institutions in the area (such as schools) are provided with an appropriate number
of drums which are cleared at least once a week.
Municipal skips were previously provided in and around Mahikeng for garden refuse and rubble disposal.
However majority of the skips have been destroyed by the fire that residents made to burn the refuse.
The municipality intends to pilot transfer stations for green waste where skips will be centralized, fenced
off, the area paved and access properly controlled. Concept drawings have been drafted by the Planning
and Development Directorate.
Anti-litter drums are provided at points of high litter generation (such as taxi ranks, bus stops and -
communal areas) and are cleared daily. Illegal dumps are cleared regularly but due to a high rate of
dumping are often littered again. To address this the municipality embarks on environmental education
and awareness campaigns once a quarter. The municipality has made provision in the new organogram
for a fully fledged environmental awareness unit.
Litter on streets in the CBD and major entrance routes into town is picked on a daily basis by municipal
employees and EPWPs but this has not proved sufficient in maintaining the general appearance of the
area due to uncontrolled street trading and uncooperative business entities who take out their refuse
throughout the day and even at night.
Landfill
In December 2015 the municipality engaged a service provider to assist in turning the situation of waste
management in Mahikeng as well as the landfill site around in view of constant adverse findings from the
AG. The service provider on the operation of the landfill site has made good progress in managing and
operating the landfill site. The acquisition of the yellow fleet has also assisted in improving the daily
operation of the landfill. The municipality has appointed a contractor who is due to finalise the fencing of
the landfill and the construction of the office. Among other heavy equipment purchased for this purpose
is the landfill compactor, the jaw crusher and bulldozer. Security has been provided at the landfill and
plans are at an advanced stage to electrify the landfill site so as to render the weigh pad operational. The
Auditor General has also noted the progress made at the landfill site.
In 2013 Mahikeng Local Municipality was granted R6 000 000 funding by DEA for the construction of a
composting facility at the landfill site. A Memorandum of Agreement was signed between DEA and MLM
and DEA subsequently appointed Consultants as implementing agents. An Environmental Authorization
permit to carry on with the project was granted by READ in December 2015. A concrete proposal has
been submitted to DEA to amend the business plan of the composting facility so as to release some
45
funds to fence the landfill site and improve access control among others. DEA has approved the business
plan for the construction of the composting facility.
A 5,8m MIG funding was granted to the municipality in the current financial year to improve infrastructure
at the landfill site and address compliance issues. This is the first phase of the program whereby the
entire landfill is being fenced off by palisade and a guard house constructed to improve access control.
An application for R40m has already been submitted to COGTA by the municipality for funding of the
second phase of this program which will comprise among others, construction and lining of new cells,
storm water management, leachate management, monitoring of underground water, methane gas
monitoring etc.
The municipality also intends to resuscitate the recycling forum so as to take advantage of emerging
recycling opportunities such as collecting recyclables to sell at the newly acquired buy back centre owned
by the Department of Rural Environment and Agricultural Development at Signal Hill. This will not only
be beneficial to the Environment but presents a real opportunity for members of the forum to gain income
through waste in the face of daunting unemployment.
46
The following activities are intended going forward in order to ensure that there is full management of the landfill
site:
BREAKDOWN
3.6 km Concrete palisade fence (8ft) and 2x6m sliding gates (Mend 4 063 400.00
Wall)
A submission has been made to DEA to change the business plan of the composting facility in order to release funds to
attend to the above matters. The municipality has put a budget aside of about R33 million to attend to the above which
the contractor is already on site.
In terms of the National Environmental Management Act: Waste Act, No: 59 of 2008, it is mandatory for the municipality
to develop and implement an Integrated Waste Management Plan (IWMP), which outlines the management of waste
generated within its area of jurisdiction. The overall objective of Integrated Waste Management is: “To integrate and
optimise waste management, in order to maximise efficiency and minimise the associated environmental impacts and
financial costs, and to improve the quality of life of all South Africans”1
47
In addition to these overall objectives, certain key priorities in developing the IWMP were:
The IWMP looked at the situational analysis to determine the needs for the municipality. The situation analysis consisting
of a desktop review (documents and reports) as well as the collection of primary data (interviews, field and site visits,
surveys and participative workshops) formed the key input into the strategic planning process for the IWMP. Selected
private sector operators were consulted.
The problems Identified in the IWMP were:
No recycle and reuse strategy in place
Inappropriate and dangerous informal waste reclamation
No management and control of skips
Lack of capacity to manage landfill site
Inadequate waste collection service
National requirements and legislation not met
Lack of appropriate or adequate plans and policies
Ineffective monitoring and evaluation
Domestic hazardous waste is not managed
Lack of funds and efficient systems.
Inadequate and inappropriate equipment
In adequate and inappropriate equipment
Poor staff relations
Lack of skills development programmes and limited capacity within the municipality to manage waste
effectively
Inability to keep the town clean
To address these challenges Mafikeng municipality identified 6 strategic goals, informed by the situational analysis, the
problem analysis and needs analysis and in line with legislative requirements, international and national targets as well
as the draft National Waste Management Strategy.
The six goals forming the framework of the Mafikeng IWMP are listed as follows:
48
Goal 4 : Adequate and appropriate physical resources in place to ensure cost-effective
waste management
Goal 5 : Sufficient and appropriately skilled staff utilised optimally to ensure that waste
management is effectively carried out
Goal 6 : The people of Mafikeng are aware of the impact of waste on their health, well being
and the environment, and are informed of the waste management programmes
planned by the municipality.
Several key objectives under each goal were identified which would contribute to the achievement of these goals. To
ensure that the plan can be properly monitored and the performance of implementers assessed, indicators were
developed against each of the identified goals and objectives, a means of verification was identified and targets set for a
five year review.
Indicators (how success can be measured), targets (the incremental measure of the indicators) and the means of
verification (what will be used to verify the outcomes of an assessment) were identified against each of the goals and this
formed the logical framework of the IWMP. An implementation Plan is imbedded in the IWMP .The IWMP is a 5 year plan
and must be reviewed annually to ensure that the objectives can eventually be met. To this end the IWMP of the
Municipality has been approved by the relevant provincial sector Department in December 2014 and must be reviewed
by 2019.
The following challenges in Mahikeng Municipality’s waste collection service were identified in their Integrated
Waste Management Plan.
Waste Minimization
No recycle and reuse strategy in place No processing capability for recyclables (except for
scrap metal)
A small portion is recycled informally, the rest goes
to landfill
Inadequate recycling plan in place for landfill sites at
source
Inappropriate and dangerous informal waste Informal waste reclamation is dangerous
reclamation Informal reclaimers on landfill site create security
problems and are a liability for site management
Informal housing on landfill site
49
Inadequate waste collection service Not all residents receive waste management
services, especially in the rural areas
Lack of appropriate or adequate plans and policies Waste management not viewed as a priority
Waste management previously not included in the
IDP
Ineffective monitoring and evaluation Lack of available waste-related information
Unreliable statistics on waste volumes
No accurate measurement of waste entering landfill
site
Lack of effective monitoring and information
systems for waste management
No reporting systems in place for hazardous waste
No scientific research in place for waste
management
Domestic hazardous waste is not managed No systems in place to recycle used oil
Domestic hazardous waste is sometimes sent to the
landfill
Inadequate controls to manage hazardous waste
disposal
Budget and Resources
Lack of funds and efficient systems. Waste service run at a loss.
Breakdown of service due to lack of funds.
Culture of non-payment of rates
Waste collection tariffs are frequently not paid
50
Current staff profile inadequate to plan or manage
programme to extend waste services
51
The production of this IWMP and its subsequent integration into the local municipality’s IDP represents a
critical step in addressing waste management challenges.
Challenges faced by the Municipality in the provision of Waste Services
Budget restrictions
Imbalance between income and expenditure.
Rampant illegal dumping.
Waste service backlog
Lack of Public awareness in environmental issues.
Lack of Recycling initiatives
Enforce by laws.
Contract Management.
Old and sickly staff
High vacancy rate in key positions
Rural domestic waste collection is an unfunded mandate

SECTION E -GOOD GOVERNANCE
(COMMUNITY OUTREACH)
BACKGROUND
Good governance is about governing the area, municipality and its citizens in accordance with the spirit
of the constitution of the Republic of South Africa. It includes community consultation, participation and
empowerment as a central feature. Focus is directed towards strengthening wards, ward based plans
and the institution, in order to improve community participation and the governance of the municipality.
Consideration was given to the quality and the extent of participation in municipal affairs as prescribed
by chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000.
Below is an outline of the legislative framework steps and the process towards the development of the
2015/16 reviewed IDP of Mahikeng Local Municipality.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK STEPS AND IDP PROCESS FOR THE 2019/20 FINANCIAL YEAR
GENERAL APPOACH AND PRINCIPLES
Section 25(1) of MSA (32 of 2000) and section 21 of MFMA (56 0F 2003) compel municipalities to develop
and adopt a single, inclusive and strategic process plan for the development of the municipality.
The process plan is referred to in section 28 of MSA as a ‘process set out in writing to guide the planning,
drafting, adoption and review’ of the Integrated Development Plan. The said plan for 2015/16 review was
specifically designed to provide the municipality with the necessary approach and information to achieve
planning imperatives as expeditiously as possible.
External Structures
Assessment comments by the MEC for Local Government are considered in accordance with chapter 5
of the Municipal Systems. The assessment report was not issued by the office of the MEC but the
comments submitted in the prior year have been taken into account towards the compilation of this draft
document.
National Treasury
The first consultation was done in the February month towards the tabling of the draft document. The
purpose of the engagement was to assess the municipality’s readiness for tabling the draft as well as
compliance to the adopted Process Plan. The second engagement will be conducted during April 2015
after tabling of the draft; this annual engagement is meant to assess if the tabled document was done in
accordance with following:
Compliance with the council approved schedule of key deadlines for the review of the IDP and
compilation of the annual budget and its associated challenges
Political and management oversight on the over the development processes,
57
Alignment of municipal priorities with National, Provincial and sector priorities
District IDP Managers Forum
The District IDP Managers Forum is made up of the IDP managers from all the five category B
municipalities that constitute Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality; and it is chaired by the IDP Unit
at the district. This Forum set out to ensure the alignment of the District’s IDP to those of category B’s.
The first District IDP Forum meeting has not yet being held. This serves as a forum for sector departments
to provide members with progress on projects and programmes implementation, as well as to provide the
municipalities in the district with new projects identified and approved for the 2020/21 financial year.
Local IDP Representative Forum
This is the Forum that has been established in line with the IDP guidelines to institutionalize and
guarantee representative participation in the IDP process; as well as to conform to the principles of Inter-
Governmental Relations Act.

Institutional Analysis
The internal consultation is continuous with the assessment of the existing level of internal development.
This was done in compliance with the proposed process plan which was subsequently adopted by
council. The process included extensive and constant consultation (formal and informal) with all
directorates. Consultation has been continuous until the final document is consolidated for Council
approval.
59
MEMBERS POSITION / PORTOLIO GENDER
Community Consultation
The MSA, Chapter 4 deals with Community participation. With specific reference to the IDP and Budget
processes. Section 16(1) (a) and (iv) stipulates that a municipality must encourage, and create conditions
for, the community to participate in the affairs of the municipality, including in the preparation,
implementation and review of its integrated development plan and the preparation of its budget.
The Mahikeng Local Municipality placed great emphasis on the involvement of communities and all its
stakeholders in the integrated development plan review process. All the 35 wards constituting the
municipality were consulted in clusters for the purpose of this review. Consultative meetings were held
during May 2019.
Communication for meetings were made prior to meetings, notices were disseminated across all the
wards. The following means of communication were also utilized;
60
Loud-hailing, mobilisation through ward councillors and ward committees
Local community newspaper
All venues were selected in a manner that ensure and enhanced easy access for all community members
to attend. Time was also chosen for the meetings to ensure maximum participation, some meetings were
held after hours to accommodate people that are working.
61
Presentations
Meetings were held in clustered wards, the Executive Mayor delegated members of the Mayoral
Committee to facilitate meetings were part of the meeting.
Language
Interactions were conducted in Setswana in order to facilitate maximum participation.
Summary of ward needs
The following needs were raised by the community during consultation meetings. They are a
consolidation of inputs from all the visited wards and clusters. They will therefore determine the
municipality’s allocation of resources for the financial years; they had also set the tone for municipal
priority setting which shall then be translated into the Municipal Programme of Action for the next year.

TOP TEN WARD PRIORITIES
This development area has been identified as problematic especially along main roads
(taxi and bus routes) in the rural areas where public transports and other developmental
services does not reach the public. In brief, 1000kms of rural roads require gravelling
(90% of the roads), 250kms of surfaced urban roads need maintenance.
Electricity High-mast and 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,14,15,16,17,18,19, The need for high mast lights is still very high especially at rural villages since they are
street lights 22, perceived to be contributing to crime reduction. Maintenance of streetlights within the
23,27,29,30 urban part of the municipality has also been identified as an area requiring urgent
attention.
There are streetlights in the areas surrounding the CBD which have been left for a long
time which also need maintenance to reduce the need at those areas.
64
Basic Service Area Type of service Affected Ward Brief analysis
Water Stand Pipes 2,3,4,5,6,9,11,12,14,15,16,17,18, The is reported that water supply in most rural areas by the district municipality is
19,21,22,23,27,29,30 problematic in that boreholes are drilled but not equipped, engines not supplied with
petrol, or lack of boreholes drilling. Where the water is supplied through tanks,
communities stay for weeks without supply while water is sold privately by drivers.
Community Community 2,3,4,5,6,9,11,12,14,15,16,17,18, The community suffers when they need to hold community activities like meetings. This
Halls/Multi-Purpose Facilities 19,21,22,23,27,29,30 facilities could assist with other services brought closer to the communities like pension
Centers pay-outs, Home Affairs and others. The youth will utilize the facility for youth activities
Clinic Health Facility 1,2,3,6,10,11,35,16,17,18,19,20, The clinics needs to operate for 24 hours to cater for emergencies. They did not have
22,23,27 medicine and were understaffed. There were wards that did not have a clinic at all. The
mobile clinics were not consistent and lacked medicines.
Sanitation VIP Toilets 2,3,4,5,6,9,11,12,14,15,16,17,18, From all indications, sanitation problems still persist in rural parts of the municipality
19,21,22,23,27,29,30 relying on Pit latrines. Of the 31 wards, about 11 wards are still desperate for proper
sanitation facilities.
Identified and confirmed sanitation projects by the district are not implemented
Job Creation Employment 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 The rate of unemployment is high and affects the youth mostly. When there are
opportunities ,16,17,18,19,21,20,22,23,24,25,2 opportunities like the EPWP only few people participates. There is no clear criterion of
6,27,29,28,30,31, 32, 33, 34, 35 selection.
Electricity House-holds 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,14,15,16,17,18,19, This aspect is the 10 most prevailing service delivery area. The need for electricity has
22,23,27,29,30 scaled down tremendously as compared to previous years, the current major need is
electricity in-fills in wards and full electrification program for some villages

of the Municipality. The following Traditional Leaders are found within the boundaries of Mafikeng Local
Municipality and have been duly consulted and interacted with.
The following Traditional Councils are found within the boundaries of Mahikeng Local
Municipality and have been consulted during the Integrated Development Planning process.
The process outlined above demonstrates the municipality’s commitment towards fostering participatory
democracy. This process exceeds the legislative requirements for community participation in the
development of IDPs. To ensure the credibility of the process, various stakeholders through appropriate
platforms have been engaged during the development of the draft IDP.

SECTION F
LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
F3.1 LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Mahikeng Local Municipality is faced by development problem in that a mix of urban and rural economies
characterizes the municipal area of jurisdiction, thus ranging from a relatively strong economic
performance to relatively isolated rural settlements with high levels of poverty. As a municipality, it has a
specific coordination and facilitation responsibilities, which need to be addressed in an innovative manner
to initiate and promote integrated and sustainable LED as well as to attract investments.
The municipality’s LED Strategy was adopted in 2006. The purpose of the MLM LED Strategy is to collate
all economic information and investigate the coordinated and integrated options and opportunities
available to broaden the economic base of the study area, packaged as a strategic implementation
framework in order to address the creation of employment opportunities, investment and business
development and the resultant positive spin-off effects throughout the district economy.
This section will provide an assessment of some of the critical relevant economic activities within the
main economic sectors namely: Agriculture, Mining, Manufacturing, Trade and Tourism. The Standard
Industrial Classification does not define Tourism as an economic sector, but because it is such an
important industry in terms of potential job creation, it will also be reflected upon.
Each sector will be discussed in terms of its provincial and local context and will result in detailed
opportunities and constraints. This section is concluded with a summary of sectoral opportunities and
constraints which will serve as the basis for possible future Local Economic Development projects.
Agricultural Overview
The Agriculture Sector incorporates establishments, which are primarily engaged in farming activities.
Also included under this sector are establishments engaged in commercial hunting, game propagation
and forestry, logging and fishing. The following subsections will provide an overview of the current
situation within the agricultural sector of Mafikeng LM and will analyze its potential for economic growth.
Agriculture is of extreme importance to the North West economy. It contributes about 6.2% of the total
GDP and 19% of formal employment. Some 5.6% of the South African GDP and 16.9% of total labour in
agriculture are based in the North West (2003). The province is an important food basket in South Africa.
Maize and sunflowers are the most important crops while the Province is also a major producer of white
maize in the country. Some of the largest cattle herds in the world are found at Stella and near Vryburg.
Agriculture in Mahikeng LM
Subsistence agriculture is practiced widely by rural communities while commercial agriculture contributed
almost R146m (3.5%) to the total GDP for 2004. Between 2001 and 2004, strong growth (6.6% p.a.) was
reported for the local agricultural sector. During 2004 this sector accounted for 5.2% of the local labour
Force.
75
The overall land use pattern in Mahikeng LM is dominated by areas classified as bushveld and thicket,
which make up 1 100km². Furthermore broad land-use categories include temporary cultivated semi-
commercial and subsistence dry-land farming (861km²), unimproved grasslands (770km²), and areas
classified as degrade thicket and bushlands (485km²). Only a very small percentage of land situated in
the North Eastern part of the municipal area could be classified as prime agricultural land, although 35%
of the area is covered by cultivated agricultural land. Mahikeng LM has a low economic output in the
Agricultural Sector, and the land is degraded as a result of over grazing and bad management practices.
Approximately 22.0% of the cultivated land could be categorised as semi-commercial /or subsistence
dryland.
Commodities currently being farmed in the Mahikeng LM area include: maize, sunflowers, peanuts, small
scale ground nuts, cattle (for a dairy and meat provision purposes), sheep, chickens (mainly for their egg
produce) and game. “Backyard gardens” are a common occurrence in rural areas – these “backyard
gardens” usually comprise of just enough vegetable produce to sustain the household. This is also very
often accompanied by some free-range chickens and/ other livestock (municipality provided) grazing in
the backyard. This is typically a prelude to subsistence farming.
Mahikeng LM is bordered by the Upper Molopo River, that later joins the Orange River, which also serves
partly as the border between Mahikeng LM and Botswana. Mafikeng LMs’ Agricultural sector is reliant on
water supplied by underground streams and the Molopo River. The Mahikeng LM area is characterized
by a high diverse rainfall pattern. January is regarded as the wettest month of the year with an average
rainfall of 118mm (also recorded as the month with the highest number of rain days in the year). During
the winter months, June, July and August, Mafikeng gets, less than 5mm of rain and this is regarded as
the dry season. Dust storms are also regarded as frequent occurrences in Mafikeng and the surrounding
areas.
Development Potential
Introduction of new technology production. This could include organic-farming and biotechnology.
Additional products could be introduced into the agricultural sector such as herbs, fresh fruit – with
accompanying markets, vegetable produce, packing and storage, horticultural products for local
and export use. Organic food production, oil extraction and fish farming can also be added as
development potential. It has been noted that a couple of greenhouses has been erected in the
Mafikeng LM area with the focus on horticulture.
Broiler Production.
These types of projects can help the Agricultural Sector of Mafikeng LM to add value to their already
established poultry industry. This is aimed at slowly incorporating and providing all the services and
materials needed to harvest, package and sell the chickens and the eggs they produce.
76
Bio-Fuel Production.
The bio-fuel industry involves production of fuel derived from any biomass. There are many forms of
biomass that can be used to produce bio-fuel, namely, liquid (ethanol, butanol etc.), solid (wood, crops,
etc), and other. One of the major sources for bio-fuel is crops that are converted into liquid biomass. For
example, sugarcane is usually used for production of ethanol that is further used as automotive fuel, while
corn is used to produce liquid biomass for usage as a gasoline additive.
Marketing
SADC membership encourages exports to neighbouring states of South Africa, especially maize. South
Africa is a net importer of wheat and export prices have increased since 1992.
Mafikeng LM is ideally positioned to export to South Africa’s northern neighbours.
Game farming
This industry can help alleviate poverty in Mafikeng LM. Game farming includes linkages to agribusiness,
like processed venison products. Game farms also provide opportunities for ecotourism development and
the settlement of emerging farmers/tourist operators. Mafikeng LM has excellent potential for Game Farm
development.
Livestock Produce
This entails the production, processing, packaging and distribution of products from livestock. Intentions
regarding this project would be to add value to the primary products and increase the economic spin off
effects. The main spin off regarding cattle includes meat, milk, cream and other milk products, the tanning,
processing and treatment of hides. Spin off produce regarding chickens include the production and
packaging of the eggs and meat.
Goat Farming:
Goat meat represents an important source of protein, particularly to the rural households. Goat milk and
milk products such as cheese and yoghurt offer real potential for downstream products. Cashmere can
also be harvested, if the hair of the goat qualifies for cashmere. Goat manure also presents a few
opportunities such as paper manufacturing. These present particular opportunities on the micro level with
strong linkages to the Tourism sector. Alternatively, the manure can be sold in its raw form as fertilizer,
or mixed with soil to produce pot soils.
Ostrich Farming:
This type of farming could be feasible in Mafikeng LM due to the terrain and climate.
Development Constraints
Threat of HIV/AIDS
Workers usually reside on the farms where they work with their families. AIDS kill, the economically active
worker, who is also the breadwinner of the family, with the wife and or children being left abandoned and
77
without refuge. This in turn places a higher dependency on the farmer/farm owner and government to
take care of these families.
Shortage of water
One of the most important constraints to agricultural expansion in Mafikeng LM and in South Africa is the
availability and cost of water. Almost 50% of South Africa’s water is used for agricultural purposes. In
Mafikeng LM the agricultural sector is mainly reliant on underground water supplies and water supplied
by the Molopo River. Traditional agriculture is especially sensitive to the supply of water whereas
contemporary production methods are more sustainable using technological farming methods.
Agriculture in Mafikeng LM has suffered from drought conditions over recent years.
Throughout South Africa, agriculture is becoming increasingly mechanised through a process substituting
labour for capital. This means that that the demand for farm produce is becoming less labour intensive.
Some farmers also prefer to employ workers from especially Botswana, Zimbabwe and other
neighbouring countries due to the minimum wages associated with South African farm workers.
The reverse of the above is true for rural subsistence farmers. These farmers cannot afford the high input
costs for machinery and farming equipment and has to rely on themselves (labour) and farm animals to
work the fields. Furthermore, these farmers do not have sufficient crops to become commercial farmers
– leading to them not being able to hire additional help.
Lack of information
Not all farmers in Mafikeng LM employ the latest production techniques and biotechnology. The main
reason for this is a general lack of information about these techniques, which can make farming more
profitable and sustainable. The Agriculture Research Council (ARC) and the Centre for Scientific and
Industrial Research (CSIR) are the authority on biotechnology in South Africa. The involvement of these
institutions as providers of farming advice and information on scientific production techniques can make
a positive impact on the sustainability and growth of the local Agriculture sector.
Farmers in Mafikeng LM have continuously experienced rising input costs such as labour, plant material,
etc. especially over the last five years. This coupled with the strengthening value of the Rand and the
over supply of maize in the South African market (i.e. lower market prises), have seen the commercial
viability of many farmers in South Africa reduced dramatically.
Stock Theft
78
This type of crime has been identified as a major constraint regarding cattle farming in Mafikeng LM. This
problem is escalated by the fact that Mafikeng LM borders Botswana – this creates a window for cross-
border theft to occur.
MINING OVERVIEW
In terms of mining legislation recently passed in South Africa, including the Minerals and Petroleum
Resources Development Act (MPRDA), the Broad-based Socio-economic Charter for the Mining Industry
(the Mining Charter) was developed in consultation between the Mining and Minerals Industry and
Government, ratified in October 2002. The goal of the Charter is to 'create a mining industry that will
proudly reflect the promise of a nonracial South Africa'. Government then produced measures for
assessing the progress of mining companies in respect of a number of key areas as they relate to socio-
economic goals. This document is known as the ‘Mining Scorecard’
The nine elements of mining of the Mining Scorecard are listed below. Each element has a number of
sub-requirements.
MINING IN MAHIKENG LM
Development Potential
The local Mining sector of Mahikeng LM is currently not very active. However, small-scale mining can
hold tremendous potential in certain areas. Mining in Mahikeng LM can be a powerful source in economic
development and poverty reduction. Mining in Mahikeng LM can help fight poverty in a number of ways:
79
The Council of Geo-science indicated that the north-east area of Mafikeng LM showed an abundance of
mineral deposits. The most common mineral deposits found within the Municipal area were the following:
Mn – Manganese Ore
Au – Gold Ore
Ls – Lime Stone
F – Fluorspar (industrial mineral)
QB – Building Sand (silica)
An – Andalusite (industrial mineral)
DA – Diamonds (alluvial)
Pb – Lead
CK – Kaolin (clay)
SI – Sillimanite (industrial mineral)
To which extent these mineral deposits represent economically viable mining opportunities will depend
on the outcome of a detailed geological surveys and feasibility studies.
With the MIDZ, being developed there lays great potential in Mineral beneficiation. Mineral beneficiation
is the treatment of mined material, making it more concentrated or richer. The process of crushing,
grinding, and often froth-flotation to remove waste rock from ore does this. The metal content is increased
and the waste removed. This bares linkage to the manufacturing sector.
Development Constraints
The Mining houses of South Africa are very concerned about the effect HIV/AIDS has on the
industry. HIV/AIDS affects between 25% and 30% of the South African Mining Sectors’ labour
force. HIVHIV/AIDS in general holds negative implications for productivity, labour costs and skills
development.
The cost of Mining inputs has soared over the recent years. Special mention has to be made to
steel and labour costs. Other mining inputs include; machinery, timber, explosives, chemicals,
piping, foodstuffs, cabling etc.
Manufacturing is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or compounds into new
products. This section explores the current situation within the Sector as well as future possibilities for
economic development within Mahikeng LM.
Manufacturing in the North West contributes 6.9% of the province's GDP and 9% of its employment
opportunities. It provides 2.6% of the South African manufacturing sector's contribution to GDP.
Manufacturing is almost exclusively dependent on the performance of a few sectors in which the province
enjoys a competitive advantage. These are fabricated metals (51%), the food sector (18%) and
nonmetallic metals (21%). Industrial activity is centered around the towns of Brits, Klerksdorp, Vryburg
80
and Rustenburg. The Brits industries concentrate mostly on manufacturing and construction, while those
at Klerksdorp are geared towards the mining industry and those at Vryburg and Rustenburg towards
agriculture.
Manufacturing in Mahikeng LM
The Manufacturing sector of Mahikeng LM contributed only 4.8% to the local economy (GGP) and 5.0%
to local employment in 2004. During the period 2000 to 2004 this sector experienced a growth rate of
1.1% on average per annum. This indicated a very small and sensitive sector concerning market
fluctuations. Currently the manufacturing sector of Mahikeng LM comprises mainly of small-scale light
industries, with a diverse base. Manufacturing of construction material is the most prominent with the
automotive sector following suite. When moving a bit further away from Mahikeng LM, towards
Lichtenburg, industries become more large-scale than in Mahikeng LM itself. There are two cement
factories located in and around Lichtenburg.
Just outside Mafikeng is the PPC Cement Slurry factory. Immense deposits of Limestone were
discovered on the Rietvlei farm in the Marico District. Today this facility is used as a manufacturing plant
and a distribution point. The majority of the employment opportunities created by these entities are low-
to semi- skilled with few opportunities for high skilled individuals. These higher skilled vacancies are
usually associated with management and technical expertise.
Development Potential
The manufacturing potential of Mahikeng LM is mainly related to processing activities in the Primary
sector of the economy. Great potential lies in the establishing of a link between the primary sector and
industries in the Secondary sector through agro-processing and value adding to mining produce.
The demarcation of an Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) is underway at the Mafikeng Airport (MA),
focusing on the manufacturing and exporting of:
Mineral beneficiation.
Mineral beneficiation is the treatment of mined material, making it more concentrated or richer. The
process of crushing, grinding, and often froth-flotation to remove waste rock from ore does this. The metal
content is increased and the waste removed. This will particularly focus on diamond cutting.
Agro-processing.
Mafikeng LM is a gateway to Africa, being linked by rail to Botswana and Angola. This provides the ideal
opportunity for agro-processing and beneficiation exports. Value addition to primary products could
81
expand the market and create economic opportunities for both the investor (monetary return on exports
of beneficiated goods) as well as the job market for those who are unemployed within the Municipality.
Opportunities exist within the wider agribusiness framework for Mafikeng to take advantage of its latent
strengths and comparative advantages.
This can help with the development of a support base for emergent farmers. Such opportunities include
cooperative/syndicated meat processing units, vegetable processing, citrus production and emergent
agribusiness (like tractor servicing, fertilizer distribution, transport contractors, etc.).
Development Constraints
Small base
The Manufacturing sector of Mafikeng LM is concentrated – meaning that the majority of industries
located in this area are light industries. Diversification, especially towards acquiring large-scale industries
can expand the market share and prove beneficial towards Mafikeng LMs’ economy.
An Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) is classified as being a customs free area – this means that no
taxes are applicable to products being manufactured and exported. It became evident from existing
Industrial Development Zones’, in South Africa, that there is a 40% rebate on tax. In order for the MIDZ
to succeed the proper tax legislature and structure has to be in place. Currently this MIDZ does not offer
this 40% TAX rebate.
TOURISM OVERVIEW
Tourism is not an economic sector on its own, but is composed of many different products and services
that are woven into the economy. The major components of this sector are accommodation, travel,
catering, and entertainment and travel organisers. Tourism forms linkages with other sectors such as the
Trade, Transport and Finance sectors. However, due to its increasing importance as an income and
employment generator in South Africa, it is believed that this sector should be discussed separately from
the other sectors.
82
The fastest-growing segment of tourism in South Africa is ecological tourism (ecotourism), which includes
nature photography, bird watching, botanical studies, snorkeling, hiking and mountaineering. Community
tourism is becoming increasingly popular, with tourists wanting to experience South Africa’s rural villages
and townships.
The geographical location of the North West Province – the main comparative advantage for tourism –
provides the base for development of tourism on a competitive level. This comparative advantage stems
from the locality of Gauteng (one of the largest urban areas in the Sub-Saharan Africa) as well as its
northern neighbouring African countries.
According to the North West Parks Board it is estimated that about three million domestic tourists and
633,000 international tourists visit the province. The Tourism Master Plan for the North West Province
indicates the following as future market focal points:
Eco-Tourism
Culture Tourism
Shopping and Entertainment
Travel & Investment
MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions)
Tourism in Mahikeng LM
It is being believed that tourism development in Mahikeng LM should focus on both local and international
tourists. Big Five game reserves in this area (Mafikeng Game Reserve) are considered areas with
substantial international potential. Also, Mafikeng LM forms part of the Anglo-Boer /South African War
siege site.
83
Mmabana Cultural Centre
Mahikeng museum.
Mafikeng is a town with a rich and fascinating history, the museum is host to an array of ethnographic,
and Anglo Boer War exhibits.
This centre aims at restoring and enhancing the quality of life through personal achievement. Regular
exhibitions are held together with conferences.
This 4,600ha game reserve is home to a wide variety of wild animals and is regarded as a principal
breeding park for the White Rhinoceros.
Game Viewing.
Mafikeng provides ample opportunity to explore the wild, with a variety of game farms and
establishments, like the Botsalano Game Reserve.
Located to the south of Mafikeng is a cultural village, (recreational area) that provides tourist activities in
the form of fishing, swimming and a demarcated waterfowl sanctuary. Lotlamoreng has been refurbished
to serve as one of the tourist destination in Mafikeng.
Modimola Dam is the perfect location for recreational angling and weekend picnics. Disaneng Dam
proves to be a spectacular sight even though it is not developed to its full potential. The dam hosts the
Mafikeng Yacht Club, an array of water sports and angling on weekends.
84
Used by many local and international artists – this studio gave life to the “Lion King” soundtrack and has
seen and heard many famous personalities. The studio is currently under-utilized.
Molopo Eye
This is where the Molopo River rises. In the past, the Molopo River joined the Orange River and cojointed,
they flowed into the Atlantic Ocean. A dam wall was built across the river on the orders of President
Kruger to prevent residents of Mafikeng from receiving water. It was little realised that the river flowed
underground through Mafikeng anyway. This was also the only source of water for Bakerville during the
Diamond Rush.
85
Slurry Cement Factory.
This cement factory is part of the PPC group of companies and was founded in 1916. Tours are available
on prior appointment.
Accommodation in Mahikeng LM is plentiful and ranges from low-budget back packers facilities up to
4star luxury establishments.
Development Potential
The large number of diverse historical and cultural elements in the Mahikeng LM area can attract a limited
number of special interest tourists. Packaging these products is essential. Mahikeng LM is also seen as
a Shopping and Entertainment Mecca for residents of Botswana. Special care has to be given to the
development of the following products in order to expand the tourism base for Mafikeng LM:
Mahikeng museum.
The museum exhibits the Siege of Mafeking (now Mafikeng) and is an excellent starting point for any
historical trip to Mafikeng LM.
Standard and condition of the road network varies considerably. The railway network is limited and
does not serve the Tourism Industry to any great extent.
The Tourism Information service is fragmented and not very accessible. The material that does
exist is of varying quality.
According to the Tourism Master Plan for the North West Province - a further constraint is the lack
of a sustainable water supply, for tourism development, in order to develop recreational activities.
Also furthering the limitations are the fluctuating water levels caused by erratic rainfall and
downstream irrigation systems.
86
Route network is not sufficient. When considering Gauteng as entry point into the country there is
a lack of routes leading to Mahikeng LM. Furthermore, the revoking of Mahikeng Airports’
international status limits access to Mahikeng LM even more in a local and international context.
The potential to attract more tourists to Mahikeng LM exists in terms educational- and eco-tourism. The
area is currently regarded as having good natural and historical amenities with little marketing and tourism
facilities. This means that although tourists do visit the area, they usually do not stay very long (about 3
days on average). The focus of tourism development in Mafikeng LM is thus on developing central
amenities. The main issue regarding a lack of visitors to Mahikeng LM can be addressed by obtaining
proper marketing plan and by correctly packaging tourist attractions available in Mahikeng LM.
Conclusion
This section presented a sectoral potential analysis of the key development sectors in the Mahikeng local
economy. The strength of Mahikeng LM is mainly concentrated in the Government, Finance, Transport
and Trade Sectors of the economy. From a development perspective, the Finance and Government
Sectors are demand driven, meaning, that growth in these sectors is a reaction to growth in the other
sectors. (i.e. demand driven) of the economy and will thus expand if the other sectors in the economy
grows.
Some of the sectors that were experiencing high growth rate to certain extend due to locational factors
include the Agricultural and Manufacturing sectors. Due also to the development of Mafikeng Industrial
Development Zone (MIDZ), MLM will definitely show an increase regarding growth and comparative
advantages in the Manufacturing sector.
The potential analysis furthermore revealed the importance of the Tourism sector. This sector is currently
regarded as very small with small-scale development taking place. The area does however have good
growth potential in this sector especially around Eco-tourism including the Mafikeng Game Reserve. The
focus here should fall on the correct packaging of the tourism products. The importance of growth in the
tourism sector is not only limited to employment creation but also regarded as a central player in the
marketing of Mafikeng LM as an attractive investment environment.

The policies and procedures will be reviewed for transparency and governance; they will be implemented in compliance with applicable legislation and monitored for
compliance and implementation. The Municipality will through the appropriate Human Resources and other policies, ensure the creation of an environment where
employees are empowered, productive and motivated. Employee Assistance Programmes are also critical in this regard; EAP is required for an analysis of (amongst
others) reasons for absenteeism from work and terminations. Formulate responses, secure budget, communicate to staff, implement and monitor.
The process of reviewing the high level and detailed unit level organizational structure is at advanced. The fully operational organizational design will ensure the realization
of the Municipality’s strategic objectives as contained in this IDP document.
96
SECTION G 5 -ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
G5.1 INTRODUCTION
Performance Management System is part of the broader system of strategic management. Performance
Management System is designed to facilitate Mahikeng Local Municipality to achieve its objectives as set
out in the Integrated Development Plan.
The Integrated Development Plan (IDP), Budgeting and Performance Management System should be
seamlessly integrated. The performance measures will be tightly aligned with the performance contracts
of senior employees and should form the basis for work plans of lower employees. The performance
management of the municipality is about the setting and measurement of desired outputs and outcomes
of the activities of the organization. It starts with the organizational strategy which cascades to directorate
plans and individual performance plans and appraisals.
The performance Management System is located within a legislative framework derived from the
following pieces of legislation:
97
APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE AT MAHIKENG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY
This approach applies to the Municipal Manager, CFO and all other directors (section 57’s). These will
be signed on an annual basis in compliance with legislative requirements and best practices.
Performance management is currently being implemented only at section 57 level; the system is currently
being reviewed in order to be cascaded down firstly to departmental heads and unit managers with effect
from the beginning of the next financial year: Approach 2 will apply to all employees as indicated above.
The link to reward will initially be non-financial. Financial rewards will ultimately be determined through
the Collective Bargaining process at South African Local Government Bargaining Council (SALGABC).
Performance management policy and procedure - * the system is currently being reviewed
and awaiting adoption by council*
Procedures for management of poor work performance * captured in the current review
policy*
Performance Reward scheme * captured in the current review policy*
Non-financial rewards for permanent employees * captured in the current review policy*
Remuneration Policy*
The Performance Management System (PMS) will be cascaded to all Municipal employees in order to
implement an assessment tool that will help in the monitoring and evaluation of the performance of
employees. The reviewed Performance Management Policy Framework reflects these initiatives.
Cascading the PMS down to all employees is expected to be phased in to various occupations categories
with financial periods.
IDP Process - Formulation of Vision, Mission, Identifying priorities and setting objectives.
Top layer SDBIP - Municipal Score card

Achieving objectives as outlined in the technical SDBIPS, Work Plans
Indicators at this level should be broken down into activities, to align with job
descriptions.
The performance management framework sets out the monitoring process, to see how the municipality
performs throughout the year in meeting its targets. This should provide the basis for early detection of
underperformance and provide corrective measures where there is under-performance. The municipality
can therefore undertake performance review to ensure that the municipality is still in the right track. The
review can also be done to employ best strategies to improve performance. Municipalities are also
expected to report on their performance as a means to ensure accountability. In order to insure proper
reporting a schedule as well as reporting formats should be sent to all Departments. The reporting
process should be reviewed and suggested improvements should be considered .

SECTION H- MUNICIPALITY FINANCIAL VIABILITY AND MANAGEMENT
The Budget and Treasury Office’s core functional strategy is the provision of sound financial management
services to the Municipality in a bid to ensure goal congruence with other Municipal directorates’ in-order
to achieve the ultimate Local Government mandate of effective service delivery. The Municipal budgeting
process is a crucial process that influences the performance of the Municipality in achieving its key service
delivery objectives. The budget is aligned to the strategic document of the municipality termed the
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2019-20 – 2023-24, hence, an essential tool in ensuring key
performance indicators and related targets are achieved efficiently and effectively. A healthy financial
position, thus, strengthens the Municipality’s ability to exceed the expectations of its community.
It is essential that the municipality embarks on a strategy to becoming a self-sustainable institution in the
long term with minimal reliance on Government Grants and Subsidies. The 2019-20 MTREF budget is
drafted on a backbone of extensive revenue enhancement and cost containment measures.
Consideration is also focused on implementing best practices in the areas of asset and liability
management. The Budget and Treasury office has prepared a revised 2019-20 MTREF Financial Plan
aimed at addressing key revenue enhancement and cost containment initiatives to achieve sustainable
growth in the foreseeable long term. The financial highlights of the 2019-20MTREF Financial Plan
outlined below are aligned to the Integrated Development Plan (IDP).
In accordance with MFMA Budget Circular 93, the following were incorporated into the 2019-20 MTREF
budgeting process:
The inflation forecasts as set out in MFMA Budget Circular 93 are as follows:
Sundry tariff increases will be limited, in most instances, to be within the CPI rate. For mathematical
simplicity we rounded the inflation up to 6% for the 2019-20 MTREF period. Hence, any increases equal
to or less than 6% are within inflationary targets. A summary of the increases per revenue categories is
103
contained later in this statement. The exception to this is rental income which is adjusted by 10% annually
in accordance with the lease agreements.
The financial sustainability of the 2019-20MTREF is significantly dependent on the collection level of
billed income. Provision is made for an estimated debtors collection rate of 64%: 2020 (63%: 2021 62%:
2022) automatically calculated under SA10 of the budget schedules
Financial impact of providing free basic services where the municipality has opted for a social package
that exceeds the minimum FBS support
Currently 20% (8%:2018) (3 356 households out of 16 419 consumers) of our consumers are registered
as indigent in the Municipal financial records. Approximately 28 324 consumers have been identified to
be indigent within the Mahikeng area (14% of the total residents). Based on the 28 324 indigents pre-
identified in the Mahikeng jurisdiction, 3 093 are urban dwellers and 25 231 are rural dwellers. The
Municipality’s revenue strategy is built around the following key components:
MFMA Budget Circular 93 2019-20;
Efficient revenue management, which aims to ensure a 95% annual collection rate for property
rates and other key service charges;
Achievement of full cost recovery of specific user charges especially in relation to trading
services;
Determining the tariff escalation rate by establishing/calculating the revenue requirement of each
service;
The municipality’s Property Rates Policy approved in terms of the Municipal Property Rates Act,
2004 (Act 6 of 2004) (MPRA);
Increase ability to extend new services and recover costs;
The municipality’s Indigent Policy and rendering of free basic services (FBS); and
The Municipal Tariff Policy.

SECTION H- MUNICIPALITY FINANCIAL VIABILITY AND MANAGEMENT
The Budget and Treasury Office’s core functional strategy is the provision of sound financial management
services to the Municipality in a bid to ensure goal congruence with other Municipal directorates’ in-order
to achieve the ultimate Local Government mandate of effective service delivery. The Municipal budgeting
process is a crucial process that influences the performance of the Municipality in achieving its key service
delivery objectives. The budget is aligned to the strategic document of the municipality termed the
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2019-20 – 2023-24, hence, an essential tool in ensuring key
performance indicators and related targets are achieved efficiently and effectively. A healthy financial
position, thus, strengthens the Municipality’s ability to exceed the expectations of its community.
It is essential that the municipality embarks on a strategy to becoming a self-sustainable institution in the
long term with minimal reliance on Government Grants and Subsidies. The 2019-20 MTREF budget is
drafted on a backbone of extensive revenue enhancement and cost containment measures.
Consideration is also focused on implementing best practices in the areas of asset and liability
management. The Budget and Treasury office has prepared a revised 2019-20 MTREF Financial Plan
aimed at addressing key revenue enhancement and cost containment initiatives to achieve sustainable
growth in the foreseeable long term. The financial highlights of the 2019-20MTREF Financial Plan
outlined below are aligned to the Integrated Development Plan (IDP).
In accordance with MFMA Budget Circular 93, the following were incorporated into the 2019-20 MTREF
budgeting process:
The inflation forecasts as set out in MFMA Budget Circular 93 are as follows:
Sundry tariff increases will be limited, in most instances, to be within the CPI rate. For mathematical
simplicity we rounded the inflation up to 6% for the 2019-20 MTREF period. Hence, any increases equal
