FOREWORD
This is the last year of my Department’s fi ve year strategic plan. We have achieved what we set out to achieve fi ve years ago. We will use this fi nal year to deepen the impact of our engagement with Municipalities.
I am happy to report that we have assisted municipalities to improve their governance. This has led to improved audit outcomes of our municipalities. To complement this, the December 2013 edition of the productivity index indicates that seven of the top ten performing municipalities in the country are from the Western Cape. My Department, along with other key stakeholders, has supported municipalities to consistently achieve 99% expenditure of MIG funds over the past few years. This reached 100% expenditure for the municipal reporting period ending June 2013. These are the fruits of the Department and its partners, who work tirelessly to ensure that the lives of our citizens are improved.
Though some municipalities show improvement, we know that service delivery at local level does not always reach the intended benefi ciaries effectively. This can be attributed to a number of factors such as:
• Lack of skills in key focus areas at local government level;
• Weak integration of planning and budgeting;
• Inadequate dissemination of information or communication with the communities; and
• Governance challenges.
To overcome these challenges we need to ensure that those who are in a position of responsibility are called upon to account. I am pleased to mention that for the fi rst time, as part of fulfi lling its mandate to monitor performance in municipalities, the Department will undertake an assessment of performance agreements of section 57 appointees against Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plans (SDBIP). This will assist in checking the match between the IDP and the performance agreements of these appointees. Added to this, my Department will continue to provide tailor-made programmes aimed at strengthening and supporting the institutional and organisational capacity of municipalities to be able to fulfi l their developmental and constitutional responsibilities.
When departments fail to work together, the developmental mandate of local government becomes diffi cult to achieve. Since its introduction IDP indabas and IDP assessments have gained strength, with many key departments participating. This demonstrates that IDP is key to achieving better integration and coordination.
Local government is the sphere of government which is often referred to as being closest to people. It therefore has a key developmental role to play, amongst others making sure that people are at the centre of local government development initiatives. Public Participation plays a critical role in this regard. As a further means of supporting municipalities in strengthening public participation, the department will continue to support them through the development of ward committee operational plans that are context-specifi c and community empowering.
Together we will continue to put forward the vision of the developmental role of local government which is centred on working with local communities to fi nd sustainable ways to meet their needs and improve the quality of their lives.

PART A: STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
1. VISION
Developmental and well-governed municipalities with integrated, sustainable and empowered communities.
2. MISSION
the mission of the Department of Local Government is:
a) To capacitate municipalities to deliver quality services to communities,
b) To promote participative, integrated and sustainable communities,
c) To ensure municipal plans reflect national, provincial and local priorities and resources through sound intergovernmental relations (IGR),
d) To be the first port of call of municipalities for advice and support, and
e) To facilitate delivery through sound administration and the engagement of all spheres of government and social partners.
3. VALUES
The Department’s values are the same as the five provincial values, namely:
• Caring,
• Competency,
• Accountability,
• Integrity, and
• Responsiveness.
4. LEGISLATIVE AND OTHER MANDATES
4.1. Constitutional Mandates
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 provides the national overarching framework for the work of all government departments in South Africa. Chapter 7 outlines the objectives and mandates in respect of local government. The following mandates for the Department of Local Government can be extracted from this:
• To establish municipalities consistent with national legislation,
• To support and strengthen the capacity of municipalities,
• To regulate the performance of municipalities in terms of their functions listed in schedules 4 and 5 of the Constitution,
• To intervene where there is non-fulfillment of legislative, executive or financial obligations, and
• To promote developmental local government.
4.2. Legislative Mandates
The White Paper on Local Government (1998) and the subsequent package of related legislation (outlined below) provide the national context for local governance across the country.
a) Local Government: Municipal Demarcation Act, 1998 (Act 27 of 1998)
This Act aims to provide for criteria and procedures for the determination of municipal boundaries by an independent authority.
LP APP_10 draft_25Feb.indd 7 25/02/2014 15:06
LocaL Government annuaL Performance PLan 2014 / 20158
b) Local Government: Municipal Structures Act,1998 & Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000)
Together these acts describe the political decision-making systems which apply to different categories of municipalities. They define the powers and duties of various role players, regulate the delegation of powers and provide a code of conduct to govern both councillors and officials. In so doing, they provide the benchmark against which Provincial Government needs to regulate, monitor, support and co-ordinate municipalities under its jurisdiction.
c) Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) (MFMA)
This Act aims to secure sound and sustainable management of the financial affairs of municipalities as well as to establish norms and standards against which the financial affairs can be monitored and measured.
d) Local Government: Municipal Property Rates, Act 2004 (Act 6 of 2004) (MPRA)
This Act aims to regulate the power of a municipality to impose rates on property, excludes certain properties from rating in the national interest, makes provision for municipalities to implement a transparent and fair system of exemptions, reduces and rebates through their rating policies, makes provision for fair and equitable valuation methods of properties, makes provision for an objections and appeals process, amends the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000, to make further provision for the serving of documents by municipalities, and amends or repeals certain legislation.
e) Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act 57 of 2002)
This Act provides for integrated and co-ordinated disaster management focused on rapid and effective response to, and recovery of disasters, as well as the reduction of disaster risk. It also provides for the establishment of provincial and municipal disaster management centres. The Act provides a framework under which the Provincial Disaster Management Centre operates and liaises with municipalities and relevant stakeholders on disaster related matters.
f) Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, 2005 (Act 13 of 2005)
This Act aims to establish a framework for national government as well as provincial governments and municipalities to promote and facilitate inter-governmental relationships and to provide mechanisms and procedures to facilitate the settlement of intergovernmental disputes.

5. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
5.1. Performance Environment
Statistics South Africa in 2013 estimated the population of the province to be 6 016 900 with an estimated increase at a rate of about 1.34% per annum. As of October 2013, life expectancy in the province is projected at 64.2 for males and 70.1 for females. This is 2.5 years more when compared to people living in the Gauteng Province, which has the second highest life expectancy. This has a bearing not only on understanding the current level of provision of basic services but to prepare for the future.
The 2013 General Household survey indicates that between 2010 and 2012, the province recorded an improvement in access to basic services, with access levels ranging from 90% to 99% on water, sanitation, refuse removal and electricity. Access to basic services is an important indication of the performance of municipalities in the provision of services to their communities. In addition, access to basic services has a huge role to play in improving the life expectancy of people of this province.
The Department is aware of the challenges municipalities face such as operations and maintenance of existing infrastructure. To address this, the Department supported districts to compile comprehensive water and sanitation bulk infrastructure master plans. The Department will continue to support municipalities with the development and implementation of programmes for upgrading and financing their infrastructure.
In order for municipalities to be able to render basic services to communities, they have to be able to generate their own revenue through the provision of utility services. Some municipalities are faced with a situation whereby rates and other sources of revenue are very little in relation to what is required for the municipality to be self-sustainable.
Municipalities are experiencing an increasing difficulty in recovering the full costs associated with trading services such as electricity, water, waste management and waste water management. This is further exacerbated by the fact that little or no consideration is given to overhead costing and the impact it has on the total cost of providing the service. This inability to collect revenue has a negative effect on the municipalities’ cash flows, their ability to grow as institutions and ultimately affects their ability to provide the basic services.
Good governance is central to creating and sustaining an enabling environment for development. Poor governance undermines development and results in people having little trust in local government. The Department has a responsibility to support municipalities to learn new ways of governing with the public as active partners in ongoing development.
One of the pillars of good governance and curbing fraud and corruption is compliance with laws and prescripts. The Department will continue to support municipalities with the development of a Compliance Model which covers both financial and non-financial compliance. This system is designed to assist municipalities and keep them updated with the latest legislative changes.
Municipalities which have been implementing the Compliance Model for the past year have embraced it, saying that they were not aware of certain critical compliance issues and that it also added to the performance measurement and assessment of staff. When all Western Cape municipalities are on the system and the Department implements the provincial hub, compliance will improve and will be measured more comprehensively.
One of the biggest challenges facing government is making information available to communities. Providing information and resources to communities will empower them to become self-reliant and assertive about their ability to guide their own development. The Community Development Worker (CDW) Programme helps community members to obtain information and resources from various stakeholders so that they can meet their needs, realise their aspirations and maintain their well-being.
LP APP_10 draft_25Feb.indd 10 25/02/2014 15:06
LocaL Government annuaL Performance PLan 2014 / 2015 11
The CDW programme, along with the Thusong programme, places communities at the centre of the development process by bringing the much needed government services closer to where people live. These programmes continue to be the link between the government and the community.
Integrated Development Planning (IDP) is a development tool which can fast track service delivery. The assessment of IDPs has shown that IDPs in the province are implementable. However, in some cases, the quality of IDPs does not always lead to improved service delivery in communities. There is a need to deepen the implementation of IDPs in communities, that need to see tangible differences in their communities. To respond to this challenge, the Department introduced Area Based/ Neighbourhood Development Planning which provides practical projects to be implemented in under serviced-areas. This planning approach, coupled with the Community Based Planning, is key to ensuring that small communities have practical and implementable plans.
One of the shortcomings in the planning environment relates to weak horizontal and vertical coordination amongst spheres of government. There is a need to strengthen collaboration and strategic coordination across the board. To this end, the Department has introduced the Intergovernmental Planning and Budgeting Framework (IGPBF), which is aimed at ensuring that municipalities and provincial sector departments participate in a coherent provincial planning and budgetary process that will fast track and promote sustainable and integrated service delivery. As part of the IGBPF, the Department has introduced the IDP Indaba, a platform for municipalities and province to coordinate joint planning and implementation to ensure that municipal IDPs inform provincial and national planning and vice versa.
Public Participation will only become a reality if it becomes a process generated from the public itself. Ward Committees have made a significant contribution in this regard, however, some municipalities still face challenges in having functional and effective ward committees. The Department has therefore placed a strong emphasis on supporting municipalities to ensure functional and effective ward committee systems as well as effective communication between municipalities and communities.
The Department has a responsibility to coordinate disaster preparedness and response. The challenge faced by the Department is that the municipal fire and rescue services and disaster management centres in the Western Cape face capacity challenges due to a lack of formal training centres. This results in services not able to safely and effectively respond to the range of incidents that they may be called to. Services are also not able to adequately perform the various support functions required for the effective functioning of emergency services, including Fire Safety, Fire Investigation, Rescue, Public Information and Awareness and Risk Reduction. To mitigate this, the Department will embark on the development of the Wolwekloof Public Safety Academy in partnership with the Department of Community Safety and the national EPWP “Working on Fire” Programme.
5.2. Organisational Environment
The Department filled 90% of its posts with 10% vacant as at end March 2013. A focus was on filling financial accounting and internal control of its posts, to ensure handover of all corporate services functions from the Department of Human Settlements.
The Department participated in the Management Performance Assessment Tool (MPAT) process, which is a tool that was developed by the Department of Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) in the Presidency. This tool is mainly to measure corporate services of all Departments in the country. The Department is proud that it managed to be one of the top 20 Departments.

5.3. Strategic Planning Process
Similar to the processes followed in the previous year, the Department started its process in June 2013 with Directorates convening strategic planning sessions. Chief Directorate’s planning sessions were facilitated to ensure that there is synergy between what various Directorates are doing.
Subsequent to these sessions, there was a Departmental Strategic Planning session in August guided by priority areas identified by the Minister. Managers were asked to reflect on whether their plans are still in line with the Departmental five year strategic plan. They were also requested to review indicators to ensure relevancy and to indicate how they plan to take their work to the next level.
The key message out of these sessions was the need to scan the environment. During the Municipal Governance Review and Outlook (MGRO) engagements in September 2013, the Department identified the needs of municipalities, and at a management meeting managers undertook an exercise to align their plans with the requests of the municipalities. Feedback on what the Department is able to provide was given to Municipal
LP APP_10 draft_25Feb.indd 12 25/02/2014 15:06

Managers at a forum where municipalities were requested to prioritise, and those Priorities, informed this Annual Performance Plan and also formed the basis of the Department’s engagement during the Provincial Government Medium Expenditure Committee (PGMTEC) process.
