CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW AND VISION AND MISSION
1.1 CONTEXT AND OVERVIEW

Municipalities are constitutionally mandated to prepare a five-year Integrated Development Plan

(IDP), which serves as a strategic action and service delivery oriented resource and, as such,
supersedes all other plans that inform the developmental agenda in local government.

Accordingly, the Makhuduthamaga municipality’s IDP outlook is guided by its developmental

goals, including the programmes of the provincial and national government. The
Makhuduthamaga municipality’s IDP is a strategic planning instrument that necessitates the
participation and input of all municipal residents. As such, it informs and guides all relevant
planning, management, budgeting and decision making processes within the institution. It has
the potential to transform local communities in direct response to the needs of our diverse
communities and adapt to the changing demands and expectations. And for this reason,
communities are participating more dynamically in decisions and resource allocation, especially
around the municipal budget and strategic planning initiatives. This is given expression through
active involvement, giving residents more say in the provision of services and by enhancing
customer satisfaction as the primary determinant of our success in the provision of services.

The new administration has engaged in a full evaluation of the functioning of every aspect
affecting the lives of communities in Makhuduthamaga. Our constitution requires us as local
government to be developmental – a responsibility to structure and manage the administrative,
budgeting and planning processes that will give expression and priority to the basic needs of
communities and to promote their social and economic development. Hence our IDP sets out a
vision for the future of local government in Makhuduthamaga, in line with legislation and the
constitution.

Our vision points to democratic local government in which the needs of all, but especially the
poor and vulnerable communities, are met with efficiency and effectiveness. This will ensure
that we are accountable, viable, and capable of delivering sustainable services that meet the
diverse needs of our communities

Through Integrated development planning, a municipality can:

o Identify its key development priorities;

o Formulate a clear vision, mission and values;
o Formulate appropriate strategies;
o Develop the appropriate organizational structure and systems to realize the vision and
mission; and
o Align resources with the development priorities

CHAPTER 2: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2.1. Introduction

The Legislative and Policy mandates that influence the activities of Local Government are
numerous, encompassing international, national, provincial and regional influences. It is
important that there is a direct linkage between the activities at a Local Government level and
the broader strategic policy and legislative environment in order that a common vision for the
development of South Africans and Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality residents can be
achieved

2.2. Legislative Background / Context

Integrated Development Planning and Its Guiding Principles

The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is the principal strategic planning instrument which
guides and informs all planning, budgeting, management and decision making processes in the
municipality. The purpose of the IDP is to ensure the effective use of scarce resources; helps to
speed up delivery and attract additional funds from all the spheres of government and the
private sector; helps to overcome the legacy of apartheid by lobbying for integrated rural and
urban areas and to extend services to the poor and lastly promotes co-ordination between local,
provincial and national government

Section 156 of the Constitution:

o A municipality has executive authority and has the right to administer local government
matters listed in Part B of Schedule 4 and Part B of Schedule 5, among which is
Municipal Planning and
o Any other matter assigned to it by national or provincial government.
o Constitution: Bill of Rights (fundamental rights of citizens): Sections 24-27 & 29
o Constitution: section 152 -153: Objects of Local government
o DFA 67/ 1995: Community involvement
o Powers and Functions as per the Notice of establishment of the Makhuduthamaga
Local Municipality and Municipal Structures Act

The formulation of the IDP was guided by various pieces of legislation; amongst others are the
following:

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996, stipulates that the local sphere of
government consists of municipalities which were established for the whole of the territory of
South Africa – the so called wall-to-wall municipalities.

13
The Objects of Local Government are set out in Section 152 of the Constitution.

Accordingly, the objects are –

o To provide democratic and accountable government for local communities;

o To ensure the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner;

o To promote Social and Economic Development;

o To promote a safe and healthy environment;

o To encourage the involvement of communities and community organizations in the

matters of Local Government.

The Constitution also demands Local Government to improve Intergovernmental Coordination

and Cooperation to ensure integrated development across neighboring communities. The
Constitution further commits government to take reasonable measures, within its available
resources, to ensure that all South Africans have access to adequate housing, health care,
education, food, water and social security.

The Municipal Structures Act (Act 117 of 1998)

The Municipal Structures Act (Act 117 of 1998) provides for the following:

• Chapter 5: Stipulates the general functions and powers of municipalities

• Section 83 (1): Each municipality has powers and functions assigned to it in terms of the
provisions of the Constitution
• Section 83 (2): Powers and functions must be divided between the District Municipality
and the Local Municipalities

Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000)

It regulates the IDP. It requires the municipality to undertake developmental oriented planning
so as to ensure that it strives to achieve the objectives of local government set out in Section
152 and 153 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Section 25(1) requires the
municipal council within a prescribed period after the start of its elected term, to adopt a single,
inclusive and strategic plan for the development of the municipality.

Chapter 5, Section 26 of the MSA indicates the core components of an IDP and that such an
IDP must reflect the following:

o The municipal council’s vision for the long term development of the municipality with
special emphasis on the municipality’s most critical development and internal
transformation needs
o An assessment of the existing level of development in the municipality, which must
include an identification of communities which do not have access to basic municipal
services

14
 o The council’s development priorities and objectives for its elected term, including its
Local Economic Development and internal transformation needs
o The council’s development strategies which must be aligned with any national and
provincial sectoral plans and planning requirements that are binding on the municipality
in terms of legislation
o A Spatial Development Framework which must include the provision of basic guidelines
for a Land Use Management System for the municipality
o The council’s operational strategies
o Applicable Disaster Management Plans
o A Financial Plan, which must include a budget projection for at least the next three years
o The Key Performance Indicators and Performance Targets determined in terms of
Section 41 of the MSA

Municipal Finance Management Act (Act 56 of 2003)

The MFMA was promulgated to sustain the finances of both the Municipalities and other
Spheres of Government. The Act also gives mandatory obligations on Performance
Management System. Section 2 of the Act’s objectives is to secure sound and sustainable
management of the financial affairs of the Local Government institutions to which this Act
applies by establishing norms and standards.

The Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality budget process endeavors to comply to the provision
of the MFMA.It is pertinent that the development of the IDP and the budget process are
integrated and aligned as per Legislation

Municipal Property Rates Act of 2004

The Municipal Property Rates Act of 2004 aims to regulate the power of a municipality to
impose Rates on Property; to exclude certain properties from rating in the national interest; to
make provision for municipalities to implement a transparent and fair system of exemptions,
reductions and rebates through their rating policies to make provision for an objections and
appeals process.

The Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (R796 of 2001) set out
further requirements for an IDP:

• An Institutional Framework is required for implementation of the IDP and to address the
municipality’s internal transformation;
• Investment initiatives;
• Development initiatives including infrastructure, physical, social and institutional
development; and
• All known projects, plans and programmes to be implemented within the municipality by
any Organ of State

15
Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act No 13 of 2005

Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act No 13 of 2005 provides clarity on how all the three
spheres of government must work together. The Act is a response to the limited successes in
the alignment efforts among the three spheres of government. It creates a framework to support
intergovernmental cooperation and coordination as required by the Constitution in its definition
of “cooperative governance”. It provides for the obligation of all spheres to participate in the
planning processes of the municipality and in turn allow their own planning processes to be
influenced by the municipal IDP’s. The Act establishes structures and processes that enhance
inter – governmental planning and monitoring processes for local, provincial and national
spheres of governance

The White Paper on Developmental Local Government

The White Paper on Developmental Local Government puts forward a vision of a

Developmental Local Government which centres on working with local communities to find
sustainable ways to meet their basic needs and improve the quality of their lives.

The following are the four characteristics of this Developmental Local Government;

• Municipal powers and functions are exercised in a manner which maximises their impact
on social and economic growth
• Playing an integrating and coordinating role to ensure alignment between all government
spheres and private sector investment within the municipal area
• Democratising development
• Building social capital through providing community leadership and vision and seeking to
empower marginalised and excluded groups within the community

2.3 Policy Context

Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA)

The Act provides a framework for Spatial Planning and Land Use Management. It provides
inclusive, developmental, equitable and efficient spatial planning at different spheres of
government. It promotes greater consistency and uniformity in the application procedures and
decision making by authorities responsible for land use decisions and development applications.
It provides for the establishment, functions and operations of Municipal Planning Tribunals

Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP)

The EPWP is a programme that seeks to ensure that public bodies like municipalities formulate
plans and budgets that will draw significant numbers of the unemployed into productive work
while provide them with training. Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality is using the opportunity of
labour intensive construction method to carry out Infrastructure, Environment and Community
Works’s Programme under LED projects

16
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development was adopted by UN (United Nations) member
states in September 2015.The SDGs are a new universal set of goals, targets and indicators
that UN member states will be expected to use to frame their agendas and political policies over
the next 15 years i.e. 2015 to 2030.The Agenda consists of altogether 17 goals, 169 targets and
231 indicators.

• The SDGs take into account different national realities, capacities & levels of
development, and respect national policies & priorities
• Build on the foundation laid by the MDGs
• Seek to complete the unfinished business of the MDGs & respond to new challenges
• The framework will retain goals, targets & indicators format of the MDGs
• Will address four dimensions: Economic development, Social inclusion, Environmental
sustainability and Good Governance

Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015 the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) came to the end of their term, and the
Sustainable Development Goals were introduced as the post 2015 agenda comprising 17
Sustainable Development Goals, 169 targets and 229 indicators took their place. The SDG’s re
based on the moral principle of the Millennium Development Goals which strived to ensure that
no one or one country should be left behind and that each country has a common responsibility
in delivering on the global vision. The goals set out a holistic framework to help set the world on
a path towards sustainable development, by addressing all three dimensions of Economic
Development, Social inclusion, and Environmental sustainability. During the development of the
5 year IDP efforts were made to ensure that integration and institutionalization of the SDG in the
planning processes of the municipality is achieved.

Transition from MDGs to the SDGs

There are three fundamental differences between the 2030 Development Agenda and the
Millennium Development Goals:

o The SDGs are broader and more ambitious than the MDGs.They go beyond social
development and include all three dimensions of Sustainable Development, Social.
Economic and Environmental
o The SDGs are complex and integrated, with the integrated approach implying the need
to manage trade-offs and maximise synergies across targets
o The SDGs are universal while the MDGs were not, implying that the goals and targets
are relevant to all countries and all stakeholders within the countries. The SDGs should
benefit all –eradicating poverty and reducing inequalities.

National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP)

It provides for focusing of development on areas of potential as a catalyst towards improvement

of lives of communities. Areas of potential or Nodal points should be prioritized for infrastructure
investment. The development of the municipal SDF took into consideration proposals of the
NSDP.

The National Development Plan

The South African Government has through the Minister of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation
published the National Development Plan. The plan aims to eliminate poverty and reduce
inequality by 2030. The plan has a target of developing peoples’ capabilities to improve their
lives through Education and Skills Development, Health care, better access to Public Transport,
jobs, Social Protection, rising incomes, Housing and Basic services and Safety.

It proposes the following strategies to address the above goals:

o Creating jobs and improving livelihoods

o Expanding infrastructure

o Transition to a low carbon economy

o Transforming urban and rural spaces

o Improving education and training

o Providing quality health care

o Fighting corruption and enhancing accountability

o Transforming society and uniting the nation

Municipalities are the first point of interaction between the communities and government and
therefore stand to benefit from the drive towards radical transformation of the economy.

20
Figure 1: National Development Plan

At the core of the plan is to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality, promotion of gender equity
and addressing the pressing needs of youth.

It is imperative for Makhuduthamaga to take these issues into consideration when reviewing the
Integrated Development Plan.

21
Limpopo Development Plan

The Limpopo Development Plan (LDP) is a 5-year overarching Growth and Development Plan
that outlines the contribution of the province to the National Development Plan (NDP) Vision
2030 imperatives and the execution of the 5-year NDP Implementation Plan and Medium Term
Strategic Framework (MTSF) priorities and targets of the current Term of Administration. The
2020-2025 Limpopo Development Plan (LDP) builds on the achievements and lessons learned
from the implementation of the 2014-2019 LDP.

The LDP is designed to marshal resources from all sectors, both public and private, towards
addressing economic growth and integrated development in Limpopo. It thus creates a platform
for the constructive and active participation of the private sector, civil society and organised
labour towards the achievement of provincial growth and development objectives to promote
higher standards of living for citizens of Limpopo.

The LDP seeks to ensure that government resources, efforts and energy are channeled towards
creating an enabling environment, offering opportunities to the people of the Limpopo Province
to be active beneficiaries of sustainable growth and development, which can improve their
quality of life.

Equally, the LDP serves as a blueprint and framework for Strategic Plans and Annual
Performance Plans of provincial departments, District-wide IDPs or One Plans and Integrated
Development Plans of districts and local municipalities, as it delineates the provincial
contribution towards the implementation of goals and targets spelled out in national strategies
and sector plans

The purpose of the LDP 2020-2025 is to outline the contribution of the Limpopo Province to the
NDP, provide a framework for the strategic plans of provincial government departments and
municipalities, and to create a structure for the constructive participation of private-sector
business and organised labour and citizens towards the achievement of the provincial growth
and development objectives

The 2020-2025 LDP is an integrated socio-economic planning and delivery document for the
province. It encapsulates the realities and the aspiration of the provincial citizens. The plan aims
to transform the productive potential of the province while addressing the inherent socio-
economic challenges with the aim of ensuring sustainable livelihoods.

Effective implementation of the LDP will be guided by the Integrated Planning Framework.
Departments, municipalities and SOEs will have to align their planning documents to the LDP.
Periodic reporting will be done to the Executive Council in line with the applicable LDP
implementation plan. Monitoring and evaluation of the LDP will serve before EXCO on a bi-
annual basis. M&E will produce a LDP midterm review for consideration by EXCO. Close out
report will be produced to guide the ensuing planning cycle towards the end of the 6th Term of
Administration. There will be a communication plan to support the process to update the
stakeholders with implementation of the LDP

Alignment of the NDP and LDP priorities into the municipal IDPs

The NDP highlights the need to strengthen the ability of local government to fulfil its
developmental role. It calls for Municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) need to be used
more strategically to focus attention on critical priorities in the NDP that relate to the mandate of
local government such as spatial planning, infrastructure and basic services.

Like provincial planning processes, municipal IDPs should be used to focus on aspects of the
NDP that fit within a municipality’s core responsibilities. This would allow the IDP process to
become more manageable and the participation process more meaningful, thus helping to
narrow the gap between the aspirations contained in these documents and what can actually be
achieved. To do this effectively, the IDP process needs to be led by municipal staff, not
outsourced to consultants.

LOCAL IMPERATIVES

Sekhukhune District Development Model (One Plan) – 2021/2022 -2024/2025

The IGR Framework Act (IGRFA) sets out the general principles and objects of
intergovernmental relations. The focus is primarily on the outcomes that the system must
achieve coherent government, effective provision of services, monitoring implementation of
policy and legislation as well as the realization of national priorities. The local government is the
closest sphere to communities and represents all spheres of government at local level. A
functional and developmental LG is a necessary requirement for an effective Developmental
State.

The District Development Model, as announced by the President seeks to encourage better
coordination and cooperation in government to improve coherence in planning and
implementation across all spheres of governance. The District Development Model seeks to
address silo planning at a horizontal and vertical level. It will also narrow the distance between
the people and government by strengthening the coordination role and capacities at the District
level as it is the penultimate sphere closer to the people after Ward and Local Spheres. It is
aimed at delivering Integrated Services whilst strengthening Monitoring and Evaluation and
impact at district and local levels.

The Sekhukhune District Municipality is located in the south-eastern part of Limpopo, which is
South Africa’s most Northern Province. The district was formed during the year 2000 and is one
of the five District Municipalities in the Limpopo Province. It shares boundaries with Capricorn
26 and Mopani Districts in the north, Mpumalanga in the south and east, and the Waterberg
District in the west. The District is largely rural in nature and is made-up of four Local
Municipalities, namely; Elias Motsoaledi, Ephraim Mogale, Makhuduthamaga and Fetakgomo
Tubatse. The District is made up of 117 wards with a total of 764 villages. There are 74
traditional leaderships within the district. These are mostly concentrated in Fetakgomo Tubatse,
Makhuduthamaga, the eastern extents of Ephraim Mogale and the southwestern extents of
Elias Motsoaledi municipality (the former Moutse area in KwaNdebele).

Sekhukhune District Municipality accounts for a total population of 1.2 million, or 20.4% of the
total population in the Limpopo Province, with the Vhembe District being the most populous
region in the Limpopo Province for 2018. Sekhukhune increased in importance from ranking
fourth in 2008 to third in 2018. In terms of its share the Sekhukhune District Municipality was
slightly larger in 2018 (20.4%) compared to what it was in 2008 (19. 6%).When looking at the
average annual growth rate, it is noted that Sekhukhune ranked highest (relative to its peers in
terms of growth) with an average annual growth rate of 1.4% between 2008 and 2018.

According to IHS Markit Regional eXplorer version 1750, in 2018, the population group with the
highest percentage of people living in poverty was the African population group with a total of
82.6% people living in poverty, using the upper poverty line definition. The proportion of the
African population group, living in poverty, decreased by 7.66 percentage points, as can be
seen by the change from 82.60% in 2008 to 74.93% in 2018. There has been a rise in
unemployment between 2008 and 2018. In 2018, there were a total number of 93 900 people

25
unemployed in Sekhukhune, which is an increase of 6 360 from 87 600 in 2008. The total
number of unemployed people within Sekhukhune constitutes 28.17% of the total number of
unemployed people in Limpopo Province. There are approximately 187 161 people of 20 years
or older in the district who have no schooling. Only 4 % of the population have higher education.
This will likely constrain the ability of the District to improve its socio-economic conditions
significantly in the short to medium term. This plan has utilised statistics received mainly from
the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET), which they
obtained from different sources, i.e. Stats SA, Global Insight /IHS Markit Regional Explorer,
Geoscience Councils, IEC, Universities, Internal (Record of Decision), etc. It analyses a
combination of stats obtained mainly from Stats SA and Global Insight/IHS Markit Regional
Explorer which brings together the deepest and timely intelligence at district level. LEDET
officially subscribes to Global Insight /IHS Markit Regional Explorer.

The main sectors of Sekhukhune District that contribute to the growth of economy in the district
are Agriculture, Mining and Community Services. Mining is the biggest contributor in the
economy of the district and it is forecasted to grow fastest at an average of 5.64% annually from
R 12.4 billion in Sekhukhune District Municipality to R 16.3 billion in 2023. The mining sector is
estimated to be the largest sector within the Sekhukhune District Municipality in 2023, with a
total 27 share of 53.0% of the total GVA (as measured in current prices), growing at an average
annual rate of 5.6%. The sector that is estimated to grow the slowest is the construction sector
with an average annual growth rate of 0.21%. The District Municipality remains focused and
committed to the vision “Sekhukhune District Municipality - a leader in integrated economic
development and sustainable service delivery”. The institutional projects included in the
Development Plan will be aligned to the institutional budget.

The Development Plan will include the plans/programmes which should be implemented by
different spheres of government (including Municipalities) and Private Sector to ensure that
people within Sekhukhune District experience integrated and inclusive development. Different
Stakeholders were consulted on the Socio-economic profile after its approval by Council in
February 2020. The District Development Model was officially inaugurated by the Deputy
Minister in the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) on the 20th
November 2020 and launched by the Premier of Limpopo Province on the 23rd April 2021.

The Local Government Back to Basics Strategy

The Local Government Back to Basics Strategy (B2B) its main core services that Local
Government provides i.e. clean drinking water, sanitation, electricity, shelter, waste removal and
roads which are the basic human rights enshrined in our constitution and Bill of Rights. This
strategy comes after local government facing challenges in rendering services to the
communities and majority of municipalities in the country to account mainly in financial
management and continuous negative audit outcomes.

26
The following are Local government programmes which municipalities will work on:

providing temporary services such as:(i) potable water, (ii)temporary sanitation
facilities, (iii)grading of gravel roads and (iv)refuse removal

2. Good governance

o Municipalities will ensure transparency, accountability and regular engagements

with communities.
o All municipal structures must be functional and meet regularly.
o Council meetings to sit at least quarterly.
o All Council Committees must sit and process items for council decisions.
o Clear delineation of roles and responsibilities between key leadership structures.
o Functional oversight committees must be in place, e.g Audit committee and
Municipal Public Accounts Committees(MPAC)

3. Public Participation: Putting people first

o Implement community engagement plans targeting hotspots and potential

hotspots areas.
o Municipalities to implement responsive and accountable processes with
communities.
o Ward committees must be functional and Councillors must meet and report to
their constituencies at least quarterly
o Utilise the Community Development Workers (CDWs), Ward committees and
Ward councillors to communicate projects earmarked for implementation.
o PR Councillors need to represent the interests of the municipality as a whole and
ensure that effective oversight and leadership functions are performed.
o Municipalities must communicate their plans to deal with backlogs.
o Municipalities to monitor and act on complaints, petitions and other feedback.

27
 4. Sound financial management

o All municipalities must have a functional financial management system which

includes rigorous internal controls.
o Cut wasteful expenditure.
o Supply Chain structures and controls must be in place according to regulations
and with appropriate oversight.

2.5 Basis for IDP Review Process

Section 32 (1) (a) of the Municipal Systems Act, act 32 of 2000 mandates the Municipal
Manager of a municipality to submit a copy of the Integrated Development Plan as adopted by
Council of the Municipality, and any subsequent amendment to the plan, to the MEC for Local
Government in the Province within 10 days of the adoption or amendment of the plan, for
assessment.

The Opinion of the MEC assessment panel during 2023/2024 IDP/ Budget assessment was that
the MLM should maintain the status quo on issues that were clearly indicated in terms of all
KPAs and adhere to the process plan in the 2024/2025 IDP /Budget

Process plan

The Municipal Systems Act also provides for the development of a municipal’s IDP that must be
aligned to with and complement the development plans and strategies of other affected
municipalities and other organs of state so as to give effect to the principles of corporative
government contains in section 41 of the constitutions.

The following process was followed during the review of the 2024/2025 IDP

Drafting an IDP requires a comprehensive planning process and the involvement of a wide
range of internal and external role players. Such process has to be properly organized and
prepared. The preparation is the duty of the Municipal Manager and Senior Managers. The
preparation process will be referred to as the process plan and should contribute to the
institutional readiness to draft or review the IDP.

The elected Municipal Council is the ultimate IDP decision making authority. The role of
participatory democracy is to inform, negotiate and comment on those decisions in the course of
the planning process. In terms of the Council approved IDP and Budget process plan, Council
must approve the final IDP before the start of the financial year, that is, no later than 31 May
2024. In order for Makhuduthamaga to prepare a credible IDP, several stakeholders have to be
engaged to provide inputs and inform the final IDP.

Section 28 of the Municipal System Act, Act 32 of 2000 requires that each Municipal Council
adopts a process plan that would guide the planning, drafting, adoption and review of the IDP,
Budget and Performance. The Process Plan should have clear and established mechanism,
procedures and processes to ensure proper consultation with the local communities. It should
indicate clearly how the IDP process will work, who will be responsible for what, time frames
and milestones will be set and a budget will be aligned to the Programme.

34
Section 21 of the Municipal Finance Management Act no 56 of 2003 also provides the following:

The Mayor of a Municipality must—

(1) (b) at least 10 months before the start of the budget year, table in the municipal council a

of government.

Context of public participation

Chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 section 17(2) stipulates that a municipality must
establish appropriate mechanisms, processes and procedures to enable the local community to
participate in the affairs of the municipality. Four major functions can be aligned with the public

The 2024/2025 IDP Review and Budget process plan / time schedule was prepared in terms of
Section 21 (1) (a) and (b) of the Municipal Finance Management Act. No 56 of 2003 which
states the following;
The Mayor of a Municipality must;
(a) Co-ordinate the processes for preparing the annual budget and for reviewing the
municipality’s integrated development plan and budget-related policies to ensure that the tabled
budget and any revisions of the integrated development plan and budget-related policies are
mutually consistent and credible;
(b) At least 10 months before the start of the budget year, table in the municipal council a time
schedule outlining key deadlines for- i. The preparation, tabling and approval of the annual

38
budget; ii. The annual review of- (aa) the integrated development plan in terms of section 34 of
the Municipal Systems Act; and (bb) the budget related policies. iii. the tabling and adoption of
any amendments to the integrated development plan and the budget related policies; and iv.
any consultative processes forming part of the processes referred to in subparagraphs (i),
(ii)and (iii).
The 2024/2025 IDP and Budget preparation time schedule articulates the progressive activities
and processes which the municipality will embarked on to review its fourth-generation Integrated
Development Plan and to prepare the annual budget for the 2024/2025 financial-year. The
process plan/time schedule enhances integration and alignment between the IDP and Budget,
thereby ensuring the development of an IDP-based budget. It fulfils the role of a business plan
or an operational framework for the IDP review process outlining the manner in which the review
process will be undertaken. The IDP and Budget process plan/time schedule incorporates all
municipal planning, budgeting, performance management, performance reporting and public
and stakeholder engagement processes.
The process creates its own dynamics since it encompasses the involvement of external role
players; therefore, it requires accurate logistical planning and arrangements of engagement
sessions to ensure that the process is implemented in accordance with the time schedule
Annual revision of the IDP/Budget
According to Section 34 of the Municipal Systems Act, a municipal council;(a) must review its
integrated development plan- (i) annually in accordance with an assessment of its performance
measurements in terms of section 41; and (ii) to the extent that changing circumstances so
demand; and (b) may amend its integrated development plan in accordance with a prescribed
process.
The IDP must be reviewed annually in order to:
o Ensure its relevance as the municipality’s strategic plan;
o Inform other components of the municipal business process including institutional and
financial planning and budgeting; and
o Inform the cyclical inter-governmental planning and budgeting cycle.
For the IDP to remain relevant the municipality must assess implementation of performance and
the achievement of its targets and strategic objectives. In the light of this assessment the IDP is
reviewed to reflect the impact of successes as well as corrective measures to address
challenges. The IDP is also reviewed in the light of changing internal and external
circumstances that impact on the priority issues, outcomes and outputs of the IDP. The annual

39
 review must inform the municipality’s financial and institutional planning and most importantly,
the drafting of the annual budget.
The purpose of the annual review is therefore to;
• reflect and report on progress made with respect to the strategy in the 5-year IDP;
• make adjustments to the strategy if necessitated by changing internal and external
circumstances that impact on the appropriateness of the IDP;
• determine annual targets and activities for the next financial year in line with the 5-year
strategy; and
• Inform the municipality’s financial and institutional planning and most importantly, the
drafting of the annual budget.
What the review is not
It is important to note that the Review is not a replacement or amendment of the 5-year IDP.
The Review is not meant to interfere with the 5-year strategic orientation of the municipality and
development horizon set in the mother document. Throughout the 5-year cycle any version of
the IDP Review should always be read in conjunction with the approved 5-year IDP document

 Implementation of the IDP

The IDP drives the strategic development of Makhuduthamaga Municipality. The Municipality’s
budget is influenced by the strategic objectives identified in the IDP. The Service Delivery and
Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) ensure that the municipality implements programmes and
projects based on the IDP targets and associated targets. The performance of the municipality
is reported in its annual report. In addition to the above, Risk management forms an integral part
of the internal processes of a municipality. It is a systematic process to identify, evaluate, and
address risks on a continuous basis before such risks can impact negatively on the service
delivery capacity of the Makhuduthamaga Municipality. When properly implemented, risk
management provides reasonable assurance that the institution will be successful in achieving
its goals and objectives

2.8. Outcomes of the IDP Community Consultation Meetings (Community needs)

MLM engaged in an intensive community consultation that was done at ward level in line with
the Community Based Planning approach (02.08.2023-06.12.2023). The municipality employed
the community based planning approach to stimulate participatory governance by awarding
community members a fair opportunity to deliberate on issues affecting them in their respective
wards.

Furthermore, this approach was implemented to inevitably include the local community in
decision making, planning and generally allowing them to play an active part in their own
development

CHAPTER 3: SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
3.1 Introduction

are municipalities which are mainly rural with communal tenure and with, at most, one or two
small towns in their area. (COGTA 2009) The Municipality is completely rural in nature,
dominated by traditional land ownership and comprises of a land area of approximately 209 695
ha (at a low average density of 1, 3 persons per ha). It is made up of 189 settlements with a
population of 340 328 people (Census 2022) and 78 497 households (Census 2022), which

3.1.2 Population Trends

The MLM has a total population of 340 328 and 78 497 households as per Census 2022. It is
the second largest municipality in the Sekhukhune District in terms of population figures, with
24% of the District population living in the MLM.

According to Census 2022 figures, the MLM has a fairly young population, with 34.7% being
younger than 15 years, 57.3% between 15 and 64 years of age, and only 8% being older than
65. This age spread in the population means that the dependency ratio in the MLM is fairly low,
with 74.4% dependents per 100 economically active people. The area population growth was
274 358 in Census 2011 and increased to 283 956 in the Community Survey 2016 and then
increased to 340 328 in the Census 2022. However, the number of households have increased
from 65 320 households in 2011 to 78 497 households in 2022. This trend is partly due to a
decrease in household size (i.e. it could be a sign of households splitting up, resulting in a
higher number of households despite very low total population growth). The average household
size has increased from 4.2 in 2011 to 4.3 in 2022.A growth in household numbers is significant
for planning purposes as each household has needs such as housing and basic services.

inter alia: access to better opportunities such as jobs, access to better social amenities and
facilities in urban areas such as higher educational facilities, universities, schools, hospitals
(better health care services), good roads, water etc.

3.2 KPA 1: SPATIAL RATIONALE

Land ownership is predominantly under the South African Development Trust but under the
custodianship of local traditional authorities. The land under traditional leadership totals 176 393
ha which accounts for 83% of all land in the municipality. The municipality own hectors of land
where Jane Furse and Moji RDP houses were built since 1996.

114
Map showing Traditional authorities land per Municipality in the District

3.2.1 Land use

Land use within Makhuduthamaga is characterized by a mixed use of subsistence farming and
residential uses. The land issue is potentially a source of tension in the area. There is a latent
tension between the traditional (tribal council) and modern (legalized) land use management
systems. There is also a number of competing land claims in the area, which have not been
resolved by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform as yet. Land restitution has
the potential to alter the spatial pattern and to contribute significantly in agriculture development
and job creation. Many people would obtain access to land that could result in improved living
standards and quality of life.

115
The Makhuduthamaga villages are characterized by poor accessibility, low density and large
distances between settlements. This makes it challenging for the municipality to provide the
required infrastructure and basic services. Lack of coordination between the Municipality,
traditional authorities and the provincial Department of Cooperative, Human Settlement and
Traditional Affairs (COGHSTA) has resulted in unplanned residential development taking place
in the area.

Some of the key challenges facing the municipality include, inter alia:

o Uncertainty about the status of land ownership especially with reference to state and
tribal land prohibits future development and investments.
o Unresolved and competing land claims in the area threaten to destabilize future
development.
o Competing land uses (i.e. mining and agriculture, commercial, etc.) may cause spatial,
social, environmental and economic constraints in future.
o Lack of environmental management
o Communal land use management
o Sprawled development
o Lack of adequate water to supply all settlements

The Municipality is experiencing challenges of illegal occupation of land especially in Jane

Furse Central Business District, along the R579 road reserve, and at the Jane Furse and Moji

3.2.6 Environmental analysis

Climate

Makhuduthamaga municipal area is characterized by a hot climate, with the average

temperature shows moderate fluctuation with average summer temperatures of 23C, as well as
a maximum of 28C and a minimum of 18C.It is located in the summer rainfall zone (September
to March) and has a mean annual rainfall 500-800mm. Thunderstorms with the associated low
soil penetration and high level of erosion are common in the area. January is warmest with an
average temperature of 26.6 °C at noon. July is coldest with an average temperature of 2.1 °C
at night

Biodiversity

Biodiversity describes the variety of life in an area including the number of different species, the
genetic wealth within each species, the interrelationships between them and the natural areas in
which they occur. Sensitive vegetation and watercourses should be maintained for both the
conservation of biodiversity and for their ecological functioning in water quality improvement and
flood control.

130
The Makhuduthamaga Municipality is rich in biodiversity. The region is rich in ultramafic-
induced endemic plant species, which make it a treasure house for biodiversity (e.g. lewang and
protea found in the Leolo mountains).

The role of biodiversity in agricultural and natural ecosystems is to ensure food security and
sustainable agricultural production through direct or indirect provision of food for humans and
their livestock, provision of raw materials and services, such as fiber, fuel and pharmaceuticals
and the maintenance of ecosystem functions. Any agricultural plan must therefore take the
biodiversity of the region into consideration

The topography of the MLM is defined by a series of ridges and river valleys. The most
prominent ridge is in the eastern part of the area. Villages are mostly located in valley and in the
foothills of ridges. The more even topography of the western part of the area resulted in a
higher settlement density.

Hydrology
Closely related to the topography, the rivers in the MLM run along the valleys between the
ridges. Together with the ridges, the rivers are the main physical feature determining settlement
patterns and access in the area. The Olifants River forms the northern boundary of the MLM.
Various tributaries run from the hills of the MLM towards the Olifants River. The most prominent
are the Grass Valley, Ngwaritsi and Lepellane Rivers. The De Hoop Dam in the Olifants River,
although not located in the MLM, will be a water source to the MLM.

Geology
The soil types include dolomite, limestone, iron formation, shale and quartzite. Various water
sources transverse the municipal area. They flow during rainy seasons and dry out when it does
not rain.

Climate change

Changes in climate patterns are natural phenomena. However, there is increasing concern
about the impact of climate change that has been brought as a result of human activities (such
as burning fossil fuels of energy, use of motor vehicles, etc) Human induced changes in climate
have acknowledge as a current global reality and are the subject of significant global attention.
Global changes in climate have already been observed that are generally consistent with model
projects and are likely to continue to occur for many decades to come even if mitigation efforts
are successful due to lays and inertia in the global biosphere response.

South Africa is a country of extraordinary natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle and activities, warm
weather and diversity in terms of culture and is known as an affordable destination. The broad
range of tourism activities, including ecotourism, cultural sporting activities, historical and
geological attractions and business tourism make it a premier destination for domestic and local
tourism.

• Decreased water quality in ecosystem due to increased
Water concentrations of effluent and salt concentrations
3 • Increased impacts of flooding from litter blocking sewer system
Biodiversity and
4 Environment • Loss of Grasslands
5 Human Settlements • Increased isolation of rural communities and displacement

Pollution

Air pollution in the area emanates from the use of fire wood for energy purpose, burning of
refuses and dust from gravel roads. Water pollution is caused by the cumulative impact of the
insufficient solid waste removal, lack of sanitation infrastructure, sewerage effluent, etc.

132
Water resources
Various water sources transverse the municipal area. They flow during rainy seasons and dry
out when it does not rain. Nonetheless, the area suffers from a water scarcity, which constraints
both economic and social activities. This challenge is further exacerbated by insufficient and
variable rainfall, inequitable water resources management and the absence of drinking water,
and the lack of bulk water and irrigation infrastructure

The Municipality has identified wards and villages that have wetlands that need to be preserved.

Structures that facilitate public participation and engagement around Environmental

Management and Planning that Makhuduthamaga Municipality is part of:
a) District Environmental Forum
b) District Waste Management Forum
c) Provincial Municipal Air Quality Officers Forum
d) Landfill site monitoring committee
e) Provincial climate change working group

Water scarcity
Water scarcity is a huge developmental challenge within the Sekhukhune
Distric/Makhuduthamaga, and constraints both economic and social activities in the area. The
issue is a manifestation of climate variability. However; it is also the result of a number of other
factors, which include insufficient and variable rainfall, inequitable water resources management
and the absence of drinking water, bulk water and irrigation infrastructure that would aid the
distribution of water to rural villages. Water scarcity affects a range of other developmental
issues in Makhuduthamaga municipal service delivery, subsistence farming activities and
commercial agriculture.

Environmental management

As part of environmental management the MLM has a licensed authorized landfill site, Jane
Furse landfill site. However, livestock management and control is a key problem within
MLM.The is a lack of fences in some crop farming areas and along main roads, which results in
wandering livestock. These livestock damage crops and cause vehicle accidents along
Makhuduthamaga main roads. To worsen the challenge is that some of the communities
destroy or steal fence in areas that was erected. The Municipality has a promulgated Waste
Management By-law. The municipality has also adopted the Integrated Waste Management
Plan (IWMP) in the 2019/20 financial year.

Environmental problems and associated development constraints

Environmental issues Status quo and environmental impact

Environment

Urban greening • The Department of Public Works has launched the concept of Greening
Sekhukhune District. There are also greenery programmes that are
initiated by Dept. Of Agriculture that target governmental issues.

Alien Plant Spices • Depleted water from the water sources. The National Department of
environment is managing the programme of eradication of alien vegetation
in the municipal area.

• There is an invasion of land (mountains, flat land for grazing and

agricultural usage) by foreign plants. These plants suffocate indigenous
plants, denying them of water, fertile soil substances and space. These

136
 make livestock grazing space smaller. The indigenous plants get slowly
depleted.

Pollution

Air Pollution • Air pollution resulting from the use of fire wood for energy purpose, burning
of refuses and dust from gravel roads are environmental problems.

Fires • Uncontrolled fires are element of concern as far as the environment is

concerned.

Water pollution • Water pollution is the result of the calmative impact of the insufficient solid
waste removal, lack of sanitation infrastructure, sewerage effluent etc.

Conservation

Erosion • Informal and subsistence agriculture activities present particular problems.

A typical; example is lack of arable land that forces communities to
cultivate on steep slopes and other environmentally unsuitable area, which
increases the occurrence of erosion with the resultant of fertile soil.
• Wood is still one of the main sources of energy for households

Deforestation • There is uncontrolled massive cutting of trees for sale, creating loss of vital
trees and vegetation. This adds to the problem of soil erosion and inability
of remaining poor soil to preserve water. Water simply just runs off. This
worsens the aridity more.

Overharvesting of • Some plants like aloes, dagga and ’lewang” and others are overharvested
medicinal vegetation by people from other areas for medicinal purposes.

Over utilization • Overgrazing resulting from too many livestock units per area of land is a
/overgrazing problem
• One of the major environment problems in the area is incorrect agriculture
methods, which leads to overgrazing, and denuding of trees.

Cultural Heritage • The tourism potential of the Makhuduthamaga Municipality relates directly
to the cultural heritage assets.

Waste • There is formal waste collection at Jane Furse which covers Jane Furse,
Phokoane and Schoonoord. The MLM has one waste recycling centre at
Madibong.

Medical waste • Two hospitals and about 21 clinics are found within the MLM. Currently,
the Local and District Municipality conduct no medical waste collection. No
facility for the management and disposal of medical waste exist. However,
a private company, Buhle Waste Limpopo collects from all health

137
 institutions within the Municipality. Private surgeries have private
companies to collect and dispose medical waste

By- laws • Lack of bylaws to regulate environmental matters in the municipality

3.2.7 GIS Assesment

The MLM has installed a Geographic Information System (GIS) located within the Economic
Development Planning Department. Complimentary to the System, the municipality has
developed GIS Policy as a guiding mechanism for the effective running of the system.The policy
was approved in the 2018/19 financila year.The municipality has employed an official during the
2022/2023 financial year.

Integrating with the everyday business database, GIS can represent inter alia;

• Rate payer profiles by location, demography and income;

• Service delivery by service, site, service provider and backlogs;

• Site locations of stores, factories, and warehouses;

• Assets location (e.g., utility poles, pipes, reservoirs and cables);

• Resource locations of staff, products, and equipments; and

• Emergency response routes

SPATIAL RATIONALE SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS • The department has its legal legislations which are approved by
Council such as SPLUM bylaw, Spatial Development Framework,
Building Control Policy, land Use Scheme, LED & Tourism
Strategy(ies) etc
• Committed and competent staff
• Functional JDMPT
• Precinct plans developed to guide development in identified nodes
• Declared as Business Registration & Licensing Centre
• Several strategically located economic hubs/nodes identified and
studied
• Good relationship between MLM and traditional authorities within
its jurisdiction
• Piloting of the Farmers support programme (Eensaam, Leolo )

138
WEAKNESSES • Shortage of staff (Building Control)
• SPLUM Bylaw due for review
• Limited Office Space
• Enforcement of By-laws (Absence of Peace Officers)
• No By- laws to regulate Business Registration & Licensing within
MLM
• No Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the
Municipality and the Traditional Authorities on development matters
• Combination of the Town Planning & LED Units
• Misplacement of the IDP unit in the EDP directorate
• Insufficient support to SMMEs
• No Municipal land ownership to attract potential investors.
• No Appeal Authority

OPPORTUNITIES • Strategically spatial location (Midway between Groblersdal and

Tubatse towns)
• Spatial development demands/potential (proposed government
offices, Malls, Private Hospitals settlements etc.)
• Strong road infrastructure network.
• Availability of Minerals
• Relation and support from other sectors/departments (e.g. District,
SEDA, SEFA, CoGHSTA, etc.)

THREATS • Poor cooperation on sites allocation by traditional councils resulting

to poorly located development
• Allocation of land for business development in areas outside
development nodes by traditional authorities (none compliance with
Municipal strategies on development)
• Pandemics
• Lack of Willingness of the Traditional Authorities to release the land

139
 Spatial challenges within Makhuduthamaga

1.Discrepancies in the MLM SPLUM By- law

2.Poor Enforcement of Municipal By -laws

3.Mushrooming of unplanned developments.

4.Dispersed settlements and uncoordinated spatial developments

5.Traditional authorities are the custodians of higher proportion of land within MLM

3.3 KPA 2: Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure development analysis

The chapter undertakes an analysis of Infrastructure and Basic services such as Water,
Sanitation, Electricity, Housing, Refuse removal, Roads and storm water drainage system,
Public transport and Telecommunication.

3.3.1 Water Infrastructure

Makhuduthamaga Municipality is neither a Water Services Authority nor a Water Services

Provider. Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM) is a Water Service Authority and responsible
for Supply and delivery of water and sanitation services. Infrastructure and Water Services
(IWS) department is responsible for implementation of water and sanitation projects, operation
and maintenance of water and sanitation services ranging from bulk, connections, link,
reticulation network services.

Due to the lack of human capacity within Sekhukhune District Municipality, an SLA was signed
with Lepelle Northern Water (LNW) for the supply of water from Flag boshielo WTW,
Olifantspoort WTW and to operate Nkadimeng WTW

Bulk water infrastructure analysis

Flag Boshielo dam has been raised by five meters to allow the dam to increase its supply to
communities. Construction of De Hoop dam and erection of bulk water pipe to Jane Furse is
completed and to Lobethal at an advanced stage. The two dams will improve state of water
provision in the municipality and this will boost other development opportunities in the area. The
pipe will supply water to greater parts of Makhuduthamaga which recently experience shortages
of water due to poor water sources. The District is also currently investigating the development
of a Community Water Supplies Master Plan. This will enable the District and its implementing
agents to achieve its WSDP objectives. The intention is also to investigate alternative technical
options for supplying specific areas with water and to ensure coordinated and implementation of
the water supply infrastructure. Early findings of these studies reveal that groundwater is a
major water resource for most households in Sekhukhune and will continue to do so in the
future.

146
 Developmental challenges

Challenges Intervention

o Unavailability of surface and ground water o Implementation of water

o Encroachment on existing infrastructure continuous ground water
o Water use license approval by DWS management
o Delays by Eskom to connect electricity and o Improvement of customer services

At the current rate of progress, it will take another four to five years before all households have
access to water within 200 meters.

3.3.2. Sanitation
The Sekhukhune District Municipality is responsible for sanitation provision. Access to sanitation
remains a challenge in Makhuduthamaga. Pit toilets are still the main source of sanitation.
Measures need to be taken in order to reduce the number of pit toilets as they may lead to
ground water pollution whilst many households are relying on it for daily consumption

3.3.3 Energy Efficiency and Electricity

Eskom is currently managing the electrification distribution networks in Makhuduthamaga. The
Municipality is responsible for the provision of priority lists that are drawn in consultation with
communities. There has been progress with respect to the provision of electricity to households
in the municipality. The progress could be attributed to effectiveness of INEP as a programme
for eradication of electricity backlog. 96.2 % of households (75 533) in Makhuduthamaga have
access to electricity (Census 2022) as compared to 25, 1% in 1996.

Eskom Sekhukhune / Makhuduthamaga Electricity Network Expansion Plan

Eskom has capacity and funding challenges in areas of Makhuduthamaga in particular Leolo
due to nature of the area. As such Eskom was unable to electrify villages of Greater Komane as
previously planned but designs for the area are completed and negotiations on additional
funding with Department of Energy are at advanced stage. There are also minor incidents of
lack of capacity from feeder lines in other areas of Makhuduthamaga and as a result some
areas were taken out of the electrification priority list. But Eskom is working on the matter by
upgrading Jane Furse substation and building 3 new substations (Mamatjekele, Uitkyk &
Tjatane) to provide capacity for growth and electrification. Makhuduthamag will also instal a 24
km of 22KV line from Mamatshekele to Moloi to improve capacity around Phokoane cluster.

171
Below is map by Eskom showing new sub-stations to strengthen capacity in Sekhukhune
/ Makhuduthamaga Municipal area

172
 Developmental challenges and interventions

Challenges Interventions

o Electricity capacity challenge o 24 km of 22KV line from Mamatshekele

o New extensions of residential sites for post to Moloi to improve capacity around
connections Phokoane cluster
o Budgetary constraints o To include settlements in the priority list
o Illegal connections to households o Request more funding from Department
of Energy
o Community awareness and
implementation of bylaws

3.3.4 Refuse removal / waste management

The Waste Management function is performed by the MLM.The is a partial formal refuse
removal service rendered by the municipality. The Municipality has a licensed authorized landfill
site, Jane Furse landfill site. There is also one waste recycling centre located in the landfill site.

18.34% of the households in MLM have access to refuse removal services from the
municipality. About 72.3% of the households in the area use their own refuse dump. There are
5.5% of the households with no access to rubbish disposal services. The municipality has no
drop-off, garden sites, transfer station, material recovery facilities and buy-back centres for
recycling.

The households without access to refuse removal poses a threat to environmental quality.
Lack of provision of refuse removal services in the rural communities is mainly driven by land
unavailability and inadequate financial resources since there is no cost recovery in these areas.

3.3.5 Roads and Storm water drainage system

Makhuduthamaga Municipality as a local municipality is responsible for the maintenance of all

the internal roads in the residential areas and villages. The Provincial and District road network
is currently the responsibility of the Roads Agency Limpopo and the provincial Department of
Public Works, Roads and Transport.
The Municipality has a road network of 332.69 kilometres which include both provincial and
local roads. The local access roads are gravel and predominantly utilised for commuting. The
condition of these roads is below standard and they require upgrading and improved storm
water management
Storm water drainage system is needed in all gravel roads because all roads as only a few
portions of the paved/tarred roads have storm water drainage. Some of the key challenges
identified include: high cost of tarring of roads; grading of internal access roads; construction of
bridges; budgetary constraints; and high storm water drainage backlog. The municipality
developed a road master plan in the 2014 financial year and it will be reviewed in 2022/2023

Internal roads: Collector and streets There is currently a weak internal road hierarchy. The informal
nature of most of the villages makes it very difficult to
development an appropriate hierarchy. The SDF will provide
proposals and guidelines but detail transport and movement
studies will have to be done. At local level there are no street
names which further complicate the matter.

Local collector roads serve as public transport routes and major

pedestrians routes. As a minimum, taxi pick up and drop off
points need to be provided.

The Sekhukhune District Municipality helps in respect of transport planning. The major public
transport services are bus and taxi operations. The bus industry is weakened as a result of
insufficient government funding and internal management capacities. The taxi industry is well
established.

The Municipality has several Taxis Associations operating within the municipal area. In the past
five years, the Department has never approved any additional trips to operators owing to
financial constraints experienced by the Department. This has resulted in high overloading
pressures in the District. Bus Operators in these areas continue to operate additional
unsubsidized trips to ease the overload burden and going forward this has a potential to
collapse the entire bus transport system should the operators decide to withdraw all the trips
whose operational costs they continue to cushion without any assistance from the government.
Additional subsidy is required in this regard as a matter of urgency to address all the gaps
identified and historical disparities.

The Great North Transport, Sekhukhune Express and Thembalethu are the only bus operators
within Makhuduthamaga municipal area with conventional fixed routes and a fixed schedule
system that provides passengers with public transport to work in the morning and back home in
the evening

The Municipality through its Community Service department facilitated the granting of Operating
Certificate to Operators of Meter Taxis to Jane Furse Maxi Taxi Association that operated in
Jane Furse.

Unregulated and influx of Mini taxis operating as metered taxis within Jane Furse area are
posing a threat to road users as majority of them are not road-worthy. The Municipality, SAPS
and the Department together with organised meter taxis in the area are doing everything in their
power to address the challenge.

Provincial roads that are found within Makhuduthamaga municipal area are R579 that runs from
Jane Furse to Stoffberg or/and Elias Motsoaledi municipal border through Nebo to Lepelle
Nkumpi municipal border and the R555 that run from Jane Furse to Burgersfort.

Integrated Transport Plans

It is a requirement in terms of the National Land Transport Act 2009 that municipalities develop
Integrated Transport Plans (ITPs). In the absence of ITP’s, it is difficult to consider applications
for public transport operating licenses hence the Department decided to assist municipalities
with the development of ITP’s for the growth points in the province. The Makhuduthamaga local
municipality has a Draft Integrated Transport Plan which indicates that the municipality has one
mode of transport found in the area, viz, road transport. The plan will be adopted in the
2023/2024 financial year.

201
Public Transport Conflicts:

There is a high demand for new operating licenses by registered members and aspirant
operators alike resulting in an increased number of new applications for the registration of new
taxi associations. Most of the conflicts are fuelled by individuals operating without operating
licenses.

Road Safety

Speeding remains the highest contributory factor (60%) to possible causes of accidents in the
Province which poses a major challenge to the Department. For further reduction of the
accidents there will be a need to implement fixed speed enforcement cameras at certain
strategic areas.

From 2009 the number of fatalities decreased annually. Though the number of fatalities
decreases the number of road accidents increased drastically. This is linked to the increase in
vehicle population yearly.

Transport Regulation

Law Enforcement in the District

• Nebo Traffic Station: The institution provides law enforcement and it is without
Registering Authority facility.

Law Enforcement in the municipality

The municipality is providing law enforcement, registration licensing and roadworthy tests and
driving license test services, which is overseen by the District.

The SLA between the department and Municipalities provide 80/20 % share out of revenue
collection

In addition to the above, there are also 2 private vehicle testing centres in Makhuduthamaga, of
which the role of the department is to monitor.

3.3.7 Free Basic Services

The Sekhukhune District Municipality (SDM) is implementing FBW to all ward of the municipality
(31). The process began by compiling the indigent registers and development of indigent policy.
The District also had yard connections of water in some areas within MLM in order that the
households whose monthly income is beyond R4180 can pay for the services while those below
qualify for 6 kilolitres of water free of charge every month. This service, however, never took off
due to delays by authority to develop relevant by-laws. To date, all households with yard
connections regardless of their indigent status get Free Basic Water.

Sanitation service is also provided free to all households by Sekhukhune District Municipality
(31 wards)

The MLM provides Free Basic Electricity (FBE)

 14 658 households in Makhuduthamaga receive free refuse removal service through pilot
project. The programme ensures that every household within the collection area i.e. Jane Furse,
Phokoane, Glen Cowie and Schoonoord gets its refuse removed once per week without
payment. Skip bins are placed in strategic points throughout the municipality for communities
and collection is made on daily basis.

3.3.8 Housing / Integrated Human Settlements

The responsibility for Housing is that of Human Settlements in the Departments of CoGHSTA.
The municipality gets allocation of houses from CoGHSTA and is only required to identify and
submit the names of beneficiaries. The Department is responsible for the implementation of the
projects. It has a Draft Housing Sector Plan and will be adopted during the 2023/2024 financial
year. All the housing stock is located within a rural setting made up of traditional authority
settlements. The character of the area is viewed as rural even where some form of settlement
formalization processes has been implemented. Informal dwelling / shacks need some attention
although it is not a major problem.

Most houses in the municipality are situated on separate stands and this indicates potential for
future formalization and upgrading. Enormous housing backlogs building up at urban areas due
to influx of people to these areas resulting in large numbers of informal dwellings / shacks in

216
 backyards and an open land. Due to envisaged development in Jane Furse proper housing
plan needs to be developed.

The table above presents the statistics on grants beneficiaries as obtained from the South African
Social Security Agency (SASSA). The figures indicated in the table change every month due to
new approvals, births and deaths. The SASSA shows that the state resources are spend in the
form of child grants in the areas that are predominantly rural. Many of these beneficiaries are
either fostered, old aged, depended, need support one way or the other hence they receive
different forms of grants. Issues contributing to high dependency rate on grants range from
amongst others, orphans resulting from HIV/AIDS related deaths, child-headed households.

Source: Department of Health 2014

Provision of health services within Makhuduthamaga is not satisfactory. This view derives from
generally low levels of services combined with poor health infrastructure. Makhuduthamaga has
only two public hospitals i.e. Jane Furse and St Rita’s hospitals, 21 clinics and 45 mobile clinic
service points

3.3.12 Libraries

The responsibility for the establishment of libraries rests within the Provincial function. However,
Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality operates four libraries within its area of jurisdiction on
behalf of the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture. There is a Service Level Agreement
between the Municipality and the Department. The rural nature of the municipality renders
accessibility ineffective. While more libraries would be needed they should be located at densely
populated areas and provided with internet access.

3.3.13 Thusong Service Centres

The National Government initiated the Thusong Service Centre concept which seeks to provide
one stop government services and facilities to communities.

There are no Thusong centres in the municipality. The state of affair denies the community of
socializing and access to services. The establishment of Thusong Centres would assist.
Engagements with the Office of the Premier concluded that mobile/ temporary service centres
will be established while awaiting the conclusion of the acquisition of land for such. The
Thusong Service centres as envisaged by National Government are based on a 6 –Block
Service Model which seeks to integrate and provide all or most of the following services in one
community located facility: Government Social and administrative Office, Education and skills
Development, Local Economic Development, Business Services and Community Opportunities;
and Information and communication.

The Municipality has secured a land from Masemola Traditional Council and the area is now
protected or fenced together with the stadium. A budget will be set aside in the 2024/2025
financial year to kick start the project.

3.3.14 Municipal Park and Cemeteries

Public places and local amenities are issues that are often raised during public engagement
processes. The following programmes and projects have been identified to address issues
related to a clean environment:

 Area Projects

Construction Projects( Community Works Area Beautification

Programme )
Fencing of graveyards

School surrounding cleaning

Enhanced Healthy Environment ( CWP) Promotion of food gardens projects/ food security

Environmental Affairs Clearing of Alien vegetation

The Municipality has developed a Municipal Park at Jane Furse township. The area is fenced
with palisade fence and will be developed further in the 2024/2025 financial year. The
municipality is also engaging traditional leaders and other stakeholders on earmarked areas for
municipal cemeteries per cluster.

Sport, Arts and Culture play an important role in the physical, psychological, social, technical
and tactical development of young and matured people. Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality
plays an advocacy role/ function whereby most of the programmes are driven by the provincial

The rural nature of the municipality suggests that even sports facilities will be in short supply.
There are very few sporting and recreational facilities most of which are sub-standard. The
community is forced to share some of the facilities with schools. The main sporting codes are
football, netball and cricket. Such codes are also played under noncompetitive circumstances
due to lack of funding and the quality of the fields. There are four Sports Centres: Peter
Nchabeleng, Phokoane, Mampuru Artificial Turf and Masemola. The artificial turf was
constructed in Jane Furse with the help of SAFA and National Lottery as part of the 2010
Soccer World Cup legacy programme. SAFA further sponsored the second phase of Artificial
Turf construction that included building of change rooms, toilets and bathrooms and drilling of
water. Upgrading of Marishane Sports Centre started in the 2019/20 financial year. Maintenance
and repairs were done in Peter Nchabeleng and the other facilities (Phokoane and Glen Cowie)
will be taken care of in the coming financial years when funds permit.

There is a need to construct few standard sports fields in the municipality. The provincial
Department of Sport, Arts and Culture was contacted in this regard and the following areas were
identified for sports facilities upgrading in the coming three financial years which are
Marulaneng, RDP Park /sports complex in Jane Furse, Mamone, Rietfontein and Masanteng.
The Municipality is recently developing policy to control use of Sports Centres for their smooth
management.

There has been no specific focus on Arts Crafts and Culture from a municipal perspective
except a few observations of Heritage activities. With the current IDP review, the Municipality
plans to introduce initiatives to respond to the citizens needs for the promotion of Arts Crafts
and Culture.

3.3.16 Religion

Religious institution within Makhuduthamaga

Overall statistical analysis indicates that there are many places of worship (535) within
Makhuduthamaga. The actual number may be higher than what can be estimated due to the
growing recognition and subscription to theism (belief in the existence of God). Although we did
not go at lengths to evaluate the infrastructure of these institutions, it is reported that church
leaders and senior priests/pastors cry out that government gives religious fraternity least
attention. A predominantly theist community is often peaceful and add impetus to stability. This
fraternity often plays a lead role against tendencies that signify degeneration of morality. It is
therefore a blessing to have them.

3.3.17 Post Offices and telecommunications

There are seven Post offices in Makhuduthamaga municipality i.e. Jane Furse, Nebo,
Masemola, Sekhukhune, Glen Cowie, Marishane, and Mamone with several villages having
lobby’s offices. Post office still plays an important role in the lives of rural people on micro
banking, post services, information communication and technology. When future Post Offices
are provided it would be cost effective to look at a set up like the Thusong Service Centres
which could be a One Stop Shop for the consumption of government services. Post Office has
also embarked on a pilot project of installing house numbers in several villages within
Makhuduthamaga.

Services provided by Post Office: Post services, Banking, payments of services like car
registrations, TV licenses, accounts and etc.

3.3.19 Community halls

The Municipality has Makgwabe, Mogaladi and Phaahla Community halls as the only places to
can be used to accommodate communities during municipal meetings / activities, but some of
the halls are in poor state and as such the municipality will set aside a budget to rehabilitate the
halls. It also relies on traditional council’s halls and schools in various villages to accommodate
communities during municipal meetings and Imbizos. In some instances, even soccer fields are
used to hold big government functions because of insufficient halls within the municipal area.

There are Community Policing Forums (CPFs) in all Police Stations and Community Safety
Forums (CSFs) in all local municipalities.

Department of Community Safety is currently providing stipends to CPF and CSF members.
However, there is a need for local municipalities to consider the possibility of having a funding
model for the CSF structures.

The local municipalities are also expected to establish street committees in all wards.

Development challenges:
• Establishment of additional satellite police stations in some wards
• Revival and capacitating of Community Policing Forums
• Conducting crime prevention and awareness campaigns

3.3.21 Traffic Services

The Municipality has two Traffic Stations (Sekhukhune and Nebo) within the municipal area.
The municipality has also planned to build a Grade A station in the 2024/2025 financial year in
the Masemola cluster. The services of the stations were fully transferred to the Municipality from
the Provincial Department Transport, Security, Safety and Liaison. Upgrading and maintenance
of both Nebo and Sekhukhune Traffic Stations was done. Five Examiners were appointed
through absorption for the two Stations. Programs to acquire the services of other personnel to
address the shortage at both Nebo and Sekhukhune are also at an advanced stage.
Sekhukhune and Nebo DLTC are fully functional.

The Municipality renders traffic services by:

- Law enforcement to decrease incidents affecting traffic safety

- Monitoring and collecting outstanding fines

- Performing an agency function for the Provincial Government by testing and licensing
vehicles on an agency basis.

270
3.3.22 Social cohesion
The following factors affect the required social cohesion among communities and individuals in
the municipality namely:

• Low per capita income levels

• High illiteracy rates
• Hunger
• Unemployment and other social ills
The inability of the municipality to deal with the above usually results in unrests and social
challenges. A multi-pronged approach is required to deal with the situation

3.4. KPA 3: Local Economic Development (LED)

3.4.1 Economic Structure

Economic growth is one of the main indicators of a progressing and developing municipality.
Makhuduthamaga municipality promotes agriculture, tourism and mining as the key growth
sectors. There are a number of mining exploration exercises that are taking place within the
municipality and should mining prove feasible, it will have an added impetus on the creation of
much needed jobs in particular and the growth of the economy in general.

The local economy is dominated by the tertiary/services sector, which accounted for 85% of the
local economic output in 2015. The secondary and primary sectors, respectively contributed
9.9% and 5.1% to the local economic output.

The major contributor to the municipal economy is the government sector, which contributed
approximately 41% to the local economy in 2015. The second largest contributor is wholesale
and retail (20%), followed by finance and business services 9% and community, transport and
communication services at 8%.

Makhuduthamaga Gross Value Added stood at R4.4 billion in 2015, making municipality the
third largest economy within Sekhukhune District. The dominant municipal economy in the
district is Greater Tubatse with a GDP of R6.3 billion

3.4.2. Primary Sectors

The primary sector’s output has increased in nominal terms from R38 million in 1995 to R221
million in 2015. However, the sector’s contribution to the local economy has declined from 7.3%
in 1995 to 5.1% in 2015.

a) Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing

Agriculture’s regional value output has increased from R3 million in 1995 to R18 million in 2015
– an average growth of 11% for the period. However, the sector is a marginal contributor to the
aggregate GVA, estimated at 0.4% in 2015.

Most of the land that is under cultivation in Makhuduthamaga is used for subsistence purposes
with only a small portion of the land under commercial farming. The scarcity of water may be the
reason why agriculture is not a larger contributor to the GVA of the area. Moreover, the status of
land ownership and the fact that a significant amount of the land in Makhuduthamaga is under
land claims hampers the development of the agriculture sector. Assessing the agriculture
potential in the area could help unlock some of the factors that inhibit the full usage of land.

b) Mining and Quarrying

Unlike Tubatse / Fetakgomo Municipality, Makhuduthamaga has a low level of mining activities.
This is also depicted in the regional value add of the sector to the local economy. The mining
sector has registered a growth rate of 14% since 1995, however, its regional economic value
add has declined from 0.6% in 1995 to 0.4% in 2015.

276
3.4.3. Secondary Sectors

The secondary sector of the MLM economy includes Manufacturing, Construction and
Electricity, Gas and Water Supply. The output of the secondary sector has grown from R51
million in 1995 to R431 million in 2015 – an average of 12%.

a) Manufacturing

Makhuduthamaga does not have a strong manufacturing base. The contribution of the
Manufacturing sector to Secondary sector GVA was estimated at R15 million in 1995 and this
increased to R69 million in 2015 – an average increase of 9% over the period.

Manufacturing contribution to the local output is very marginal across many areas with the
exception of Jane Furse and surrounding areas

The most common manufacturing activities include the making of sand bricks, windows, door
and steel frames. These activities respond to local demand from infrastructure development
relating to housing projects, road rehabilitation, and agriculture and to a lesser extent, mining
activities.

There is potential for growth in manufacturing if effective links can be made to exploit
opportunities resulting from the wholesale and trade sector and public sector infrastructure
spending.

b) Electricity and Water

The sector contribution to the local economy increased from R20 million (3.8%) in 1995 to R206
million (4.7%) in 2015 – an average decrease of 13% over the period.

The largest GVA contribution of electricity services is concentrated in Jane Furse and the
southern part of the municipal area

c) Construction

The contribution of the Construction sector to MLM GVA increased from R16 million in 1995 to
R156 million in 2015 – an average increase of 13% for the period.

This sector is linked to development within all the other sectors of the economy such as demand
for construction of public sector infrastructure such as housing, roads, and the provision of basic
services. Most of the work is currently sourced from outside of Makhuduthamaga, which poses
the challenge for locals to become competitive enough or partner with already competitive
contractors to share in this growth.

3.4.4. Tertiary Sectors

The tertiary sector’s contribution to the total economy has increased from R433 million in 1995
to R3.7 billion in 2015 – an average annual increase of 11%.

277
a) Wholesale and Retail

The Wholesale and Retail sector is one of the dominant economic contributors (20%) in the
municipality. The sector contributed R96 million to MLM economy in 1995 and this increased to
R867 million in 2015. This means the sector grew on average by a rate of 13% per annum from
1995 to 2015. The sector responds predominantly to local markets. Growth in this sector could
be explained by increased local spending power as a result of growth in the public sector.

The growth point in the Municipality, Jane Furse is a key retail centre and where repair services
are provided. It is evident, as well, that residents from these neighborhoods do a substantial
part of their shopping in the area. While formal trade is mostly restricted to Jane Furse, informal
trade takes place throughout the rural parts of the municipality, including the numerous villages.

b) Transport and Communication

The transport and communication sector is becoming more and more important each day,
especially as a result of the increase in activities in other sectors. The sector contribution to
local GVA was R49 million in 1995. This figure increased by an estimated 9% to R337 million in
2015.

The anticipated increase in public sector infrastructure development also requires movement of
vast amounts of material and people and thereby offers tremendous opportunity for passenger
transport and material. Jane Furse is the centre of logistics and communications

c) Finance and Business Services

Finance, Real Estate and Business Services contribution to GVA increased from R47 million in
1995 to R393 million in 2015 – an average increase of 12% over the period.

The financial and business services sector is an equally important economic sector, especially
in terms of its enabling qualities in support of other sectors. The majority of these services are
concentrated within the economic node of Jane Furse

d) Community, Social and Personal Services

Personal, Social and Personal Services contribution to local GVA was R45 million in 1995. The
contribution increased to R343 million in 2015 - recording an average increase of 11% over the
period under review.

e) General Government Services

Government services sector is the biggest contributor to the local GVA. As the Municipality
grew over time so has been the need for additional government services. Accordingly, the
sector’s contribution to local GVA increased from R196 million in 1995 to R1.8 billion in
2015.The government sector employs 24% of the total population of Makhuduthamaga and
provides public services and invests in development work. Besides the employment created,
income generated and spent in Sekhukhune, the public sector also has a key role to play in the
economy in the way decisions are taken.

278
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP), an important indicator of economic performance, is used to
compare economies and economic states. Gross Domestic Product by Region (GDP-R)
represents the value of all goods and services produced within a region, over a period of one
year, plus taxes and minus subsidies.

In terms of the percentage of people living in poverty for each of the locals within the Sekhukhune
District Municipality, Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality has the highest percentage of people
living in poverty, using the upper poverty line definition, with a total of 79.0%. This is due to fact
that there was no formal town in the Municipal area for many years. However, with the growth of
Jane Furse as the District Growth Point and the relocation of District offices from Lebowakgomo
to Jane Furse it is expected that the economic activities will boom and job creation will benefit
local residents.

The lowest percentage of people living in poverty can be observed in the Fetakgomo Tubatse
Local Municipality with a total of 70.4% living in poverty, using the upper poverty line definition

3.4.5. Agriculture

Constraints Opportunities

Municipality is mainly rural so there are few Suitable for grain production under dryland
economic activities.No commercial farming mainly maize (Leolo. Zaaiplaas)
so few people employed by the Agric sector
Irrigation production limited by water Retailers serve as market for vegetable
scarcity.( 2 irrigation schemes & small scale farmers (Pick n pay, Spar)
vegetable production inTjatane )
Highest number of livestock 49 013 cattle on Vleeischboom FPSU located in
communal as per LDARD census 2020 Makhuduthamaga and farmers will benefit
from the services
Overstocking results in overgrazing since Opportunity exist for local private tractor
cattle are kept in communal grazing areas owners to bid for Mechanization term contract
as the area has more hectares to plant

283
 No private farms/ no land reform High number of cattle serve as source of
income and create jobs for herd men
Farmers must practise intensive farming eg
piggery and poultry which require less water

Agriculture is no longer just about food security and rural livelihoods to address social policy
questions but a major contributor to economic growth
The growth aspects of agriculture are threatened by several challenges which some contributed
to the decline in production over the years
➢ Rising input costs
➢ Deteriorating infrastructure
➢ Climate changes
➢ Persistence of infectious diseases and pest's infestation
➢ Poor management of natural resources
LDARD has intervening strategies that aim to address the aspects mentioned above

Cash Crop production

Tomatoes cover more production land followed by other crops like cabbage, butternut,
watermelon, onions and most recently garlic.

o Villages around Ga Masemola irrigate using canals from Lepelle river. Their common
challenges are farming infrastructure including fences and irrigation infrastructure
o Villages around Schoonoord use the Psirwa river as their water source, however the
water level is not adequate to serve those who are farming further away from it and thus
their main challenge is water infrastructure, be it in the form of boreholes for those
further away and/ stronger pumps for those who can still access water from the river.

284
7 vegetable farmers received seeds, medication and fertilizers through the Letsema program
and 170 household backyard farmers received seeds and hand tools through the Food Security
program
Maize Production
High potential arable areas produce maize and intercrop with beans and groundnuts. Maize is
produced in Leolo area with very limited land but very high yields. The farmers in Leolo have
now affiliated to GrainSA to improve their skills capacity.

300 farmer received seeds, LAN fertilizers and mechanisation services through the Ilima/
Letsema program

Grain Production: Maize

Maize is also produced along the NEBO maize belt which includes villages from Mokwete to Ga
Tshehla, including areas like Molepane, Ntwane, Thoto, Leeukraal.Farmers are also in talks
with Grain SA so they can affiliate

650 farmers received seeds and mechanisation services through the Ilima/letsema program
Fall Army Worm remains the common challenging pest in maize farming and this season it has
hit Leolo area.

Grain Production: Sorghum

Sorghum is also produced in low rainfall areas like Ga Maila, Moretsele, Makgane, Madibong,
Mamone, Phaahla, Diphagane and others.

Invasion by birds remain the most common challenge amongst sorghum farmers and thus only
a few of the farmers are able to persevere up to harvesting.

The farmers in this low production areas were assisted with sugar bean seeds as production of
such is met with lower challenges unlike with sorghum.

Livestock Production
This is practiced throughout the municipality but higher numbers are found around the
Masemola area. The area is also the one which is most prone to draught and lots of livestock is
often lost during very dry seasons in Masemola area.

A total of 230 livestock farmers have each received 6 bags of lucerne pellets through the Ilima
Letsema program. Farmers also get subsidised with bags of fodder each year to reduce the
impact of drought on production.

Livestock watering (borehole, windmill, drinking troughs) were also erected at Mphane and
Sehuswane villages through the Drought Relief fund

285
Other Commodities
Poultry production includes broiler and layer production.3 smallholder farmers supported with
feeds for broilers and one layer producing farmer also received feeds

1 Smallholder pig farmer and 10 subsistence pig farmers also received feeds through the Ilima
Letsema program

Mamatshekele Investments-indigenous goat’s project funded with fencing, borehole, drinking

troughs and labour through Land Care Program

Skills Development

Twenty-two farmers were trained in water rights through liaison with DWA
Five farmers received training on Climate Smart Agriculture.Farmers also receive training
through coordination with other institutions.

3.4.7 Future growth and Job Creation

Local economic development projects

The municipality promotes agriculture; tourism and services as the key growth sectors. There is
a number of mining exploration exercises that are taking place within the municipality. If mining
does indeed prove feasible it will have an added impetus on the creation of much needed jobs
in particular and growth of the economy in general. The decision to locate the District offices in
Jane Furse will provide substantial growth impetus. Furthermore, the agricultural and tourism
potential of the municipality have yet to be exploited fully. At the moment limited forms of
agricultural and tourism activities are taking place.

290
 The municipality has implemented a number of temporary job creation initiatives through the
implementation of the Expanded Public Works Programme (143), The Community Works
Programme (1235), Municipal Infrastructure Grant (80) and Equitable Share (113) in the
2022/2023 financial year.

3.4.9 Competitive and Comparative Advantage

For Makhuduthamaga economy to grow sustainably, revenues and investment flows must
increase, preferably from external markets. Economic grows flows when businesses in local
sectors become more competitive in external and/ or local markets. The market responds to
better goods, at lower prices by increasing sales often lead to increased investment
It is therefore necessary to determine which external markets Makhuduthamaga based firms
can compete in profitably and sustainably. These markets and sectors offer the most
opportunity for self- sustained economic growth and, therefore become strategic priorities for the
municipality. Furthermore, it is important to understand the nature of competitive advantages
and disadvantages in these markets and to recognize which factors are critical to success and
which still constrain the relevant sector’s performance

3.4.11 Rural development

Rural development requires of all agencies at national, provincial and local government, State
Owned Enterprises, and the private sector to contribute to the development of rural communities
in their areas of competencies. In this regard, the Makhuduthamaga Municipality is expected to
coordinate the CRDP Local committee of stakeholders, ensure effective provision of basic
services, leverage municipal spending to create local jobs, and facilitate Local Economic
development for all including the most rural communities in its area of jurisdiction.

Effectively, rural development is an approach for economic and social development in rural
areas. It is not a service based project, but an outcome that Makhuduthamaga Municipality
together with other spheres of government wishes to achieve.

The Municipality is in the process of localizing the National Comprehensive Rural Development
Strategy and it has also been identified as a CRDP site.

294
 3.4.12. Tourism
The Municipality has developed and adopted the Tourism strategy. Annually the Municipality
produces Tourism brochures to market the Municipal Tourism areas and products. Tourism
Exhibition Centre is planned for Jane Furse by the municipality.

The municipality intends to enhance and maximize its tourism potential as eco-tourism presents
the potential to be a major employer and economic driver in Makhuduthamaga.

The municipality will enhance tourism through:

• The resuscitation of a private sector integrated Local Tourism organisation/ Association.

• Promote green initiatives

• Promote agricultural tourism

• Develop eco-tourism and promote natural assets such as Leolo Mountain, and Manche
Masemola

• Showcase and promote cultural heritage

• Confirm and embed Makhuduthamaga as a hiking/ ecotourism destination

• Establish a functional Tourism Information office

3.5. KPA 4: Financial Viability

3.5.1 Financial Status of the Municipality

The municipality has budgeted a total Revenue of R 516.7 million for 2024/25 financial ye,
R520.2 million and R 520.5 million for 2025/26 and 2026/27 respectively. Total revenue has
decreased by R 43.3 million for the 2024/25 financial year when compared to the 2023/24
adjusted revenue budget. For the two outer years, total revenue will increase by 0,669 per cent
and 0.055 per cent respectively. The total revenue for 2024/25 includes the grants allocations
from the national treasury to the amount of R 452.5 million and own revenue sources to the
amount of R 64.2 million. For the two outer years of the MTREF 2025/26 and 2026/27 total
grants allocations included in total revenue amounts to R 520.2 million and R 520.5 million
respectively while own revenue increases to R 68.8 million and R 74 million respectively.

Total operating expenditure for the 2024/25 financial year has been appropriated at R 417
million and translates into an operating budgeted surplus of R 99.7 million as indicated in table
1 consolidated overview above. This surplus will be used to fund capital expenditure for 2024/25
as indicated in table 1 consolidated overview above. The operating surplus for 2024/25
decreased by R 43 million as compared the 2023/24 operational surplus. The operating surplus
for the two outer years increases to R 2.9 million for 2025/26 and to R 7.9 million in 2026/27
financial year. These surpluses will be used to fund capital projects for two outer years. The
municipality will use cash backed reserves to an amount of R 56 million to fund the capital
expenditure in excess of the budgeted revenue over the MTREF. This reserves are cash
backed for vat refunds.

302
 The total capital budget for 2024/25 financial year amounts to R 155.7 million. For 2025/26
and 2026/27 budget years, the capital expenditure is budgeted at R 156 million and R 169
million respectively. The municipality’s revenue enhancements strategies programme is aiming
at amongst other things to address this reduction in capital expenditure in the future budget
years.

 Billing System

Property rates billed based on the valuation roll based on market value on monthly basis which
is performed by the professional valuer. Our first valuation roll was signed by the valuator on the
31 January 2007 and implemented during the 2009/10 financial year. MLM collect rates from
Businesses and Sector departments.MLM use a system called Accpac to perform all its financial
transactions.

The financial sustainability of the Municipality

The Municipality has established fully functional Budget and Treasury Department in line with
chapter 9 sections 80 of MFMA and the role of Budget and Treasury department. The
municipality has a challenge with regard to generation of own revenue since the municipality
does not offer services like water and sanitation, electricity due to limitations on powers and
functions. The municipality has always maintained positive cash flow and it does not finance its
operation through loans and overdrafts.

In terms of expenditure management, the municipality has always maintained watertight system
of internal control and at all times municipality adheres to the principle of paying creditors on
time which is 30 days’ payment period. Municipal credit control and debt collection policy has
been fully utilized to ensure that all amounts that are being owed to municipality are indeed
recovered within 60 days’ invoice period and the ultimate intention is to recoup all the accounts
receivable within 30 days’ period. Furthermore, municipality has introduced a system of internal
control as early warning mechanisms to detect unauthorized, irregular, fruitless and wasteful
expenditure as well as unfunded mandates.

For the KFAs below, we have only included the current challenges and issues.

 3.5.10 Existing revenue sources

Revenue Observation

Investment and tender documents The interests earned on investment and tender documents are also
revenue sources

Traffic functions(licenses and permit) The devolution of the traffic function will positively impact on
revenue generation like vehicle licensing, driver’s licenses and
traffic fines

Property rates The Municipal Property Rates Act, 2004 was promulgated with
effect from 2 July 2005.Property rates would be one of the primary
sources of revenue for the municipality. Factors that will determine
the amount that a property owner must pay to the municipality
include: the assessed value of the property, the effective
assessment rate etc.

Business registration and licensing The service was formally transferred to the municipality and the
municipality LED staff receiving training to over everything from the
Department

Source: Internal Studies (MLM 2023)

The MLM’s revenue sources are both internal and external. The internal sources contribute
about 18% of the total revenue of the municipality while external sources make up to 82%. The
internal sources include vehicle licensing and registration, property rates (businesses) and
interest earned on investment and tender documents. The external sources of revenue at the
disposal of MLM are grants and social donations from private sector. Some grants are often
conditional such that the municipality is not at liberty to spend otherwise despite deserving
needs.

held Imbizos whereby ordinary community members are given chance to raise their views in
terms of service delivery challenges and report to them on progress made by the
Municipality.

Ward Committees and CDWs

The Municipality has established 31 Ward Committees which assist Council in terms of
liaising with the community. They play a role as link between the Municipality and
Community and facilitate development of long term vision. Ward committees ensure that the
views of the communities are captured in the IDP by attending to public participation
meetings and submitting inputs to the Municipality. The Municipality has developed a Ward
Committee Policy to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of system. They assist in terms
of monitoring Municipal Institutional Performance. The Ward committees’ reports get
evaluated every month for the purpose of monitoring their functionality and effectiveness.

and remain with 7 wards without CDWs. This is constituted by 15 females and 9 males. The

Traditional leadership

Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality has 27 Traditional leaders and indunas appointed in

terms of Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Amendment Act, 2003.The
relationship between Traditional leaders and the Municipality is healthy. The main issue with
the Traditional authorities in the Municipality is that residential development is currently
taking place in uncoordinated and chaotic manner in the area. This is largely because there
is inadequate coordination between the Municipality, the Traditional authorities and
CoGHSTA. The functions for site demarcation and allocation remain vested with Traditional
authorities and Provincial Department of CoGHSTA respectively. The land issue within
Makhuduthamaga is of critical importance because of the extent of tribal ownership

3.7. KPA 6: Municipal Transformation and Organisational Development

3.7.1 Institutional analysis

Council, Committees and functionality / Governance

Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality has 62 Councilors i.e. 31 Ward Councilors and 31

Councilors elected from proportional party list (PR). The Mayor is the head of Exco which
comprises of 10 Councilors who are Heads of departments in terms of Section 80 of
Municipal Structure Act. The Mayor, Speaker, Chief whip and two Exco members are full
time whereas the remaining number of Councilors is on part time basis. The Municipality has
considered the establishment of Council Structures, the statutory committees established in
terms of the Municipal Structures Act and the Municipal Finance Management Act. The
composition of a particular committee is mainly determined by the role it is envisaged to
play. For instance, if the committee has to perform the political oversight, the members will
as such be politicians and take the form of portfolio committee while administrative
committees focus on technical issues and are constituted by the technocrats. The Council
Structures of Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality include the following: Council, Executive
committee, Economic Development and Planning portfolio committee, Infrastructure
Development portfolio committee, Corporate Services portfolio committee, Community
Services portfolio committee, Budget and Treasury portfolio committee, Local Labour forum,
Human Resource committee(Training, Employment Equity committee, OHS committee,
Employees wellness),Bids committees, Oversight, Audit committee and Municipal Public
Accounts Committee The functionality of these committees is often determined by the
frequency of meetings and turnaround time on issues that are delegated to respective
committees. The governance committees usually have schedules of meetings and they
meet at least four times annually i.e. hold a meeting at least once per quarter. On the other
hand, administrative committee can meet as frequent as possible, depending on the need
and urgency of matters to be dealt with. However, a minimum of six meetings per annum is
expected for each administrative committee.

Employment Equity

Makhuduthamaga Municipality as a designated employer is required to design and

implement an Employment Equity Plan. The purpose of the Employment Equity Plan is to
enable the employer to achieve reasonable progress towards the achievement of the
employment equity targets namely, ‘’to assist in eliminating unfair discrimination in the
workplace, and to achieve equitable representation of employees from designated groups by
means of affirmative action measures”.
The Municipality has submitted the Employment Equity Plan to the Department of Labour
and has the Employment Equity Committee responsible for developing and monitoring the
implementation of the plan.

The staff component of the Municipality is made up of ninenty (91) women, one hundred and
eleven (114) men and one (1) disabled employee in terms of Employment Equity
representations.

329
Employment equity challenges

The Municipality is grappling with employment equity challenge of ensuring that its
structures reflect equitable representation of all groups, particularly people living with
disability. The male- female ratio stands at 84:66. The ability to retain and attract skilled staff
is limited – a situation is reflected in the number of vacancies in the Organogram.

3.7.3 Organisational Performance Management System (OPMS) and Performance

Management System

Performance management serves to measure the performance of the Municipality on

meeting its IDP. The Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality has adopted its Performance
Management Strategy and it is reviewed annually. A performance management unit was
established in 2011. It is currently concentrating on the organizational and individual
performance at the level of section 57 managers. Immediately after the adoption of the IDP
and budget, the municipality develops Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plans
(SDBIP) which serves as business plans for individual departments within the municipality.
The municipality has undergone a strategic planning session from 19-21 February 2024

From the adopted SDBIP the municipality abstracts Performance Contracts of the Section
57 employees which become the Departmental annual business plans. Departments report
progress on the implementation of the SDBIP to Management reviews; Exco – Makgotlas,
Executive committee and Council for adoption. The purpose of these sittings is to monitor
progress and performance in terms of the implementation of the IDP and budget and to
propose reviews where necessary. The municipality is currently developing Organisational
review and staff re-engineering to address work processes, job descriptions and to do
comparative job evaluation on the basis of TASK system.

A Midyear a report (Section 72 report) is developed from the Quarterly reports generated
during the EXCO Lekgotla sessions. Municipal annual service delivery reports are generated
from this process on annual basis which amongst others will inform the formulation of the
annual report. After the adoption of the Annual report by the Municipal Council, the
Oversight Committee scrutinizes the report and makes final recommendations to the council
for the adoption of the final Oversight report which will then be open for public consumption.
All Section 57 Managers have signed Performance Agreements for 2023/2024 financial
year.

330
Administrative Structure

Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality is divided into six departments which are interrelated:

o Economic Development and Planning

o Corporate Services

o Community Services

o Budget and Treasury

o Infrastructure Services

o Office of the Municipal Manager and Executive Support

3.7.4 Skills needs within the Municipal Council

MSA 32 of 2000 s68 (1) requires municipalities to develop their human resource capacity to
a level that enables them to perform their functions and exercise their powers in an
economical, effective, efficient and accountable way.
Municipalities are required in terms of the Skills Development Act No. 97 of 1998 to facilitate
training for capacity building in order to address skills gaps. A skills audit is conducted on an
annual basis to inform the Workplace skills plan which guides all the training to be
conducted throughout the year. The plan is developed in consultation with the staff members
and councilors. Individuals from the mentioned stakeholders’ complete questionnaires that
serve as tools to identify training needs. The training needs are further consolidated into
WSP / ATR and submitted to LG SETA after approval by the Council on time as legislated.
This should be able to address the issues of scarce skills. MLM has a training committee,
which comprises of labour, Management and council; its role is to ensure that all training
activities are done in consultation with all relevant stakeholders and are to the benefit of the
Municipality by enhancing the skills and knowledge in the individual’s functional area.
Although line managers and staff identify their skills needs as contained in their completed
skill audit plan, the alignment of such needs with their responsibilities is crucial, thus the
HRD & OD division supports them through organizing trainings, workshops, seminars and
internal bursaries.

These interventions mentioned above are being implemented to ensure individuals are able
to achieve their Perfomance Management Development System (PMDS) goals and as in
alignment with their identified capacity gaps and interventions, which are contained in the
individual staff members’ Personal Development Plans (PDPs).

It is critical to note that among others, the critical skills need within the Municipality are
Engineering, Town Planning, and Finance and Leadership skills for Councilors, which are
being targeted through the offering of municipal bursary for students from indigent families

331
3.7.5 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality has established Occupational Health Safety Committee in
line with Occupational Health and Safety Act, Act 85 of 1993. There are seven (7) appointed
Health and Safety representative for all municipal offices including satelites. The committee
meets on a quarterly basis. Thirteen (13) OHS committee members have received training on
OHS legislation, Hazard Identification & Risk Assessmet (HIRA), incident investigation, and
HSE representative.
The Municipality has 39-trained officials for First Aid Level 3 & Basic Fire Fighting & Evacuation
Awareness. These trainings are in line with the rrequiremnts of the Act and its regulations, and
are valid for three (3) years.

The unit will perform the following functions in an effort to ensure Health and Safety
within the workplace.

• Implementation and Enforcement of Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations.
• Facilitation of medical surveillance assessments and follow-ups for all employees.
• Management and recording of all incidences and occupational diseases, including reporting
to Department of employment and Labour.
• Monitoring of municipal construction projects to ensure compliance with relevant
legislations.
• Conduct orientation and induction of all newly employed officials on OHS issues.
• Facilitation and provision of Personal Protective Equipment PPE (including protective
clothing)
• Conduct all administrative duties related to OHS including policy formulation, its reviewing
and report writing
• Facilitate the administration of Returns of Earnings (ROE’s) as per the COID Act 130 of
1993.

3.7.6 Records and Registry Services

Registry has two containers utilized for purposes of records keeping, and this is not in line with
standards. Shortage of space for records keeping and non-compliance with the records
management policies by departments’ i.e. some information not taken to the registry for filing
was the main challenge. This challenge is mitigated through the appointment of records
management champions. These champions represent all the departments of the municipality.
As in terms of Risk Management, findings or precautions fumigation was performed on the
records management office in order to control pests and ensure compliance with Records and
Archives Legislation.

Disposal

The Municipality managed to dispose of 8269 unsuccessful applications and 2609

Tender/Competing documents for the months of October, November and December 2022.
Limpopo Provincial Archives issued disposal Authority and Destruction Certificate. However,
there is a lot that needs to be disposed and new requests have been submitted to the Provincial
Archivist.

332
Electronic Document System (Therefore)

The Municipality has installed an electronic records management system called THEREFORE.
The system assists it by giving assurance incase of fire or floods that can destroy the physical
records. Records Champions received training on the Electronic System (TEREFOR) and
monthly they upload their records on it. Other employees and sections received one-on-one
training as well. Management is updated monthly about progress made by each department

3.7.7 Organisational Structure

Makhuduthamaga Municipality has an approved organisational structure that guides the

development of its administration structure in line with the guidelines of the Municipal Structure
Act and Municipal System Act no. 32 of 2000. This is successfully because of the budget made
available for the implementation of such a structure.

Municipal Council annually approves an Organisational Structure that has been reviewed and is
in line with the new needs/ mandates identified during its consultative engagements with its
communities.

The performance of powers and functions, and delivery of the IDP projects is dependent upon
appropriate and funded organisational structure. A model for organisational structure for Grade
four (04) municipalities was used as a base to develop the municipal organisational structure.
The powers and functions that are for the municipality were also considered in the process.

3.7.9 Cross Cutting Issues

Women Empowerment
Women empowerment is a phenomenon that is high on the agenda. The municipality has
woman Mayor as part of empowering them. Women should be encouraged to partake in
developmental projects that would assist them to get out of the poverty line that they found
themselves in. This means that the resources should be channeled in the direction of women
empowerment projects in order to empower them economically and politically. The municipality
has developed a policy on how women matters can be approached and addressed.

334
Youth Empowerment
The Municipality has appointed an official to deal with youth matters. It is in this office where
issues that affect the youth are attended to. Issues that affect the youth are unemployment, lack
of housing, poverty, shortage of skills, high level of crime and violence, social and family
disintegration and other social ills like HIV/AIDS.A youth Council has been established as a
platform whereby youth discuss and agree on issues that affect youth. It is within this
background that youth development policy was developed to assist youth and young people to
deal with issues that affect them such as unemployment, skills shortage, and vulnerability and
under resourced. Resources should be biasely channeled towards the development of youth’s
projects for the upliftment of young people of the municipality to stop the escalating crime and
violence. Makhuduthamaga Youth Council was re-launched in February 2017 by the Office of
the Mayor.
Gender Equity
Gender inequalities exist in the social, economic, physical and institutional environment of the
municipality. The municipality has put in place an employment equity plan with monitoring
indicators that are gender disaggregated. Within the municipality, several initiatives have been
undertaken to advance the national gender agenda. Amongst others, a gender procurement
scoring system is in place to encourage the economic empowerment of women entrepreneurs
and companies.

The province while is on its way to achieve the first 95, it is struggling in terms of ensuring that
patients are retained on ART treatment where there is 69% ART retention rate, the same
challenge is also seen at the district level. It should however be noted that the province and
district have achieved 92% suppression rate albeit with low levels of retention.

The Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality as at March 2023 had 15 982 patients remaining on
treatment but when assessed using the 12-month cohort analysis of patients that started
treatment during 2021, the results show that at 12 months 63% of patients are retained on ART
treatment, which means that there is a high number of patients that are lost to follow up. The
local municipality is however doing much better with regards to the suppression rate which is at
92%.

TB Treatment

Makhuduthamaga during the past financial year managed to put a total of 233 patients on TB
treatment. The cohort produces a 79% success rate, 12% Death rate and 6% of the patients
were lost to follow up and only 5 (2.1%) of the patients were lost to follow up.

Developmental challenges

• Inaccessibility of health due to poor roads and inadequate transportation

• Stigma attached to the HIV/AIDS disease by communities
• Awareness campaign to educate the community about the normality of living with the
Virus
• Lack of medication at clinics and hospitals
• Insufficient drop in centres

• Most orphaned children are not in foster care due to long procedures

• Inaccessible ARV sites and HIV and AIDS support groups

Disabled Persons
Youth, women and people with disabilities have generally a broad range of interrelated needs
which therefore must be addressed in a holistic and integrated manner. The municipality has
identified major challenges that face people with disabilities such as lack of skills and career
guidance. The Municipality together with OTP (Office of the Premier) has embarked on a
programme of skilling the unemployed disabled persons whereby four people were on a one
year Learnership on Development Practice.The municipality has also employed three disabled
persons as interns previously in order for them to gain practical experience. A policy to address
and approach matters affecting people with Disabilities was developed.

Business Sector
The Municipality is in good working relations with Makhuduthamaga Chamber of Commerce
and Hawkers Associations within its area of jurisdiction. They participate actively in the affairs of
the municipality especially during IDP stakeholders’ consultations meetings where the
municipality engages stakeholders on development issues.

338
Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) and Community Based Organizations (CBOs)
NGOs and CBOs like Love life, Kgwana, Sekhukhune Educare Project (SEP) and
Makhuduthamaga Umbrella (umbrella body for Home Based Cares) are some of the important
stakeholders that the municipality takes on board on matters of development. These
organizations also have programmes on youth and HIV/AIDS that they run together with the
municipality.

Academic and Research institutions

Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality has good working relations with institutions of higher
learning. Officials and Councilors attended capacity development programs with University of
Witwatersrand (CPMD), University of Pretoria (ELMDP and MFMP), University of Johannesburg
(Municipal Governance) and DBSA Vulindlela Academy (MIDP) and many other courses run by
accredited institutions in terms of LG SETA. The Municipality is also establishing links with the
Limpopo Agro Food Technology Station based at the University of Limpopo.

IGR and intergovernmental relations

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 reflects on the Government of the
Republic as “constituted as national, provincial and local spheres of government, which are
distinctive, inter-dependent and interrelated”. It thus establishes some principles of co-operative
and intergovernmental relations which all spheres of government all organs of state within each
sphere must adhere to.

Among such principles with an impact on the IDP of which all spheres must observe are:

o Respect the constitutional status, institutions, powers and functions of government in

the other spheres;
o Not assume any power or function except those conferred in terms of the
Constitution;
o Exercise their powers and perform their functions in a manner that does not
encroach on the geographical, functional or institutional integrity of government in
another sphere;
o Co-operate with one another in mutual trust and good faith by-
o Fostering friendly relations
o Assisting and supporting one another;
o Informing one another of, and consulting one another on, matters of common
interest;
o Coordinating their actions and legislation with one another;
o Adhering to agreed procedures; and
o Avoiding legal proceedings against one another.
In view of these principles of co-operative governance, a consideration was thus made on the
powers and functions conferred to the Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality as well as policy
frameworks binding on the municipality, requiring consideration, or requiring alignment.

objectives of the municipal IDP. The aims of a spatial development framework are to promote sustainable functional
and integrated human settlements, maximise resource efficiency, and enhance regional identity and unique
character of a place The contents of the SDF are guided by the Local Government Municipal Systems Act (no 32 of

challenges identified in the analysis phase and inherited from the apartheid legacy.
Jane Furse Precinct Plan The Jane Furse Precinct plan was developed by SDM and also noted by MLM council during the 2009/10 financial

SDM the node is currently not developed in a manner that supports most of the characteristics of an ideal growth
point node. The plan undertakes precinct analysis/study of the defined area and highlight catalytic public sector LED
projects that are required to contribute to the development of the node.
