FOREWORD BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR
_____________________________________________
On behalf of the Municipal Council of Mbombela Local Municipality it
is my pleasure to hereby present the reviewed 2015/16 Integrated
Development Plan (IDP). The 2015/16 financial year is the last
financial year of the 2011-2016 term of local government sphere,
therefore it present a unique opportunity to close the current political
term whilst it seamlessly lay basis for the next term of local
government.
The reviewed 2015/16 IDP is responding to the call made by the
Honourable President J. Zuma through the Back to Basics
programme launched on 18 September 2014 at the Presidential Local Government Summit. A clarion
call was made to the local government sector to promote good governance and effective
administration through cutting wastage, spending public funds prudently, hiring competent staff, and
ensure transparency and accountability in municipalities.
The 2015/16 IDP reflects the will to continue with the implementation of the turnaround strategy
approved by the municipal council on 21 August 2014. The turnaround strategy is implemented as an
intervention to address the following key challenges which impact negatively on the administrative
and operational capacity of the municipality:
(a) Financial Management – comprising of matters of revenue enhancement, cost curtailment,
fleet management, supply chain management and clean audit roadmap.
(b) Service Delivery – comprising of acceleration of spending on capital projects, water supply
interventions, waste management and cleanliness, repairs and maintenance of the municipal
infrastructure.
(c) Governance and Institutional Development – comprising of filling of critical vacant positions,
risk management, performance monitoring and evaluation, internal audit, system of delegations
of powers and functions, ICT governance etc.
(d) Social and Economic Development – comprising of local economic development strategy,
rural development, spatial planning, integrated human settlement etc.
The allocation of the capital budget per IDP priorities is as follows over the medium-term;
1. The water supply programmes and projects has been allocated 42 per cent amounting to
R738 million with R224 million allocated for 2015/2016.
2. The roads and storm water management programmes and projects have been allocated 17
per cent amounting to R301 million with R125 million allocated for 2015/2016.
3. The public transport programmes and projects have been allocated 14 per cent amounting to
R240 million with R77 million allocated for 2015/2016.
4. The economic development programmes and projects have been allocated 6 per cent
amounting to R108 million with R25 million allocated for 2015/2016.
5. The community development programmes and projects have been allocated 4 per cent
amounting to R76 million with R26 million allocated for 2015/2016.
The IDP bears testimony that the eradication of backlog to water supply remains the number one
priority hence the allocation of capital budget is bias towards the implementation of bulk infrastructure
11
water projects as well as reticulation infrastructure in some portions of the municipal areas. Central to
the IDP strategic thrust is the need to improve quality of life for the vulnerable communities in the
municipality. Evident to that, the objectives set include ensuring that the indigent households have
access to basic services. As a result municipality will continue to provide free basic services on water,
electricity and sewerage and grant subsidies at a cost of R150 million in 2015/2016 and 12 178
households will be provided with free basic electricity and 121 000 households will be provided with
free basic water.
Similarly, the implementation of the storm water management capital budget will result in nineteen
(19) kilometres gravel roads being upgraded to tarred roads. The construction and tarring of Daantjie
Cemetery road at ward 2 will be completed in 2015/2016 at a cost R49 million.
The municipality appreciates the strategic programmes and projects that will be implemented in the
municipal area prioritised by the Mpumalanga Provincial Government as outlined by the Honourable
Premier, Mr DD Mabuza in his State of the Province Address for 2015, namely:
1. The establishment of the Mpumalanga International Fresh Produce Market to support
agricultural production and create a logistics platform for the export of our fresh produce to
international markets.
2. The construction of strategic dams to increase the availability of water supply for
development.
3. The construction of the Cultural Hub to ensure opportunities for private sector investment are
explored.
4. The establishment of the International Convention Centre.
In conclusion, the IDP and Budget is based on an extensive consultation process in compliance with
the legislative framework. Through the public participation and consultative process we have received
valuable inputs and comments from members of public and stakeholders. The highlights of the public
participation and consultative process are as follows:
? Through your leadership Honourable Speaker, five zonal meetings were held with local
communities from 21 April 2015 and 06 May 2015, and furthermore a consultation meeting
was held on 05 May 2015 with organised stakeholders namely; Business Sector (KLBCT and
NAFCOC), farmers and ratepayers associations etc.
? The Traditional Leaders were consulted on an individual basis by the Office of Speaker from 23
April 2015 until 15 May 2015.
The inputs and comments received during this engagement process includes, amongst others issues
relating to water supply, roads & storm water, electricity, housing, waste management, sanitation and
others. All the inputs or comments were recorded and addressed accordingly. The issues that could
not be implemented or accommodated in the 2015-2016 financial year will be prioritized in the future
depending on the availability of funding. However, operational issues which does not require funding
will be addressed in consultation with relevant Ward Councillors, and those that are within the
competence of provincial departments will be forwarded to the relevant sector departments.
In light of the above, I hereby present the 2015/16 IDP as approved by the Council on 28 May 2015.

MESSAGE BY THE MUNICIPAL MANAGER
____________________________________________
The 2015/16 Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and Budget
have been approved by the Municipal Council on the 28
th
of
May 2015 in compliance with the legislative obligations. The
process of preparing the strategic documents (IDP and Budget)
was validated by the approval by the Municipal Council of the
2015/2016 IDP, Budget, Risk Management and Performance
Management Process Plan in August 2014. This process plan
has been used as a roadmap to navigate the journey to arrive to
last day of tabling the IDP and Budget. Central to the process is
the extensive public consultation process which meant that the
municipality spent six months from September 2014 until March
2015, conducting public participation and consultative processes both internally and externally so that
all inputs and priorities of the citizens of the municipality are catered for on the revised IDP which
formed the basis for the process of the preparation of this budget.
Following the adoption of the Draft IDP and Budget on 30
th
March 2015, as required in terms of the
legislative and regulatory framework, the public participation and consultative process was conducted
subsequently, from 13 April until 15 May 2015.
As part of the consultative process, the municipality also had an engagement exercise with the
National Treasury on 19 May 2015 with regard to the 2015/2016 adopted draft IDP and Budget. The
engagement exercise was conducted with the objective of assessing the credibility of adopted
2015/2016 draft revised IDP and budget. The adopted draft budget was found to be funded with risks
and National Treasury identified the following risks which need to be addressed by the municipality:
? Insufficient measures to collect outstanding debts.
? Unsustainability of cash flow projections due to outstanding debts insufficient collection.
? Timeous payment of creditors, especially Eskom, Water Boards etc.
? Lack of cash backed reserves for funding of capital programmes, future costs of rehabilitation
of landfill sites, employee retirement benefits etc.
? Inefficiency on the utilization of employees resulting in above the norm on incurring of
overtime expenditure and contracted services.
In anticipation of all of the issues raised by the National Treasury fortunately, the municipality has
approved the twelve (12) point plan approved by the municipal council on 31 March 2015. The 12
Point Plan is adequate in addressing the issues raised however there is a need to monitor the
implementation of the plan on a monthly basis to ensure successful mediation of the risk raised by the
National Treasury.
As part of the turnaround plan approved by the Municipal Council in August 2014, the focus of the
2015/16 financial year is on forward planning for the capital projects anchored on stringent measures
set in the procurement plan. The intention is ensure improved capital expenditure so that all capital
grants allocated to the municipality are utilized without failure across all municipal functions. Linked to
this will be a very strict monitoring of the approved procurement plan on monthly basis.
15
With regard to the excessive overtime and the need to improve management of employees, the
municipality has started with the process of turning around the situation by conducting a forensic
report on excessive overtime. During the 2015/16 financial year, the municipality will be implementing
recommendations of the report on excessive overtime. Central to this is the need to introduce new
measures and internal control that complies with the set regulatory and legislative framework for
overtime.
In conclusion the aforementioned matters formed the basis of the following IDP/ Budget objectives
over the medium-term:
(a) To manage risks associated with unstable financial position, underperformance on service
delivery, address governance and institutional development challenges;
(b) To improve financial performance and sustainability over the long term;
(c) To ensure the citizens of the municipality are provided with acceptable levels of services;
(d) To maintain the existing assets and infrastructure base by ensuring adequate repairs and
maintenance is undertaken;
(e) To enable local economic development initiatives and sustainable employment creation.
(f) Achievement of the clean audit outcome.

CHAPTER 1
AN OVERVIEW OF THE I DP PROCESS
_________________________________________________________________________________
1.1 INTRODUCTION
It is required in terms of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) that municipalities must
develop a five (5) year strategic planning document popularly known as Integrated Development Plan
(Municipal Systems Act, 2000).
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a process through which the municipality conducts a
comprehensive analysis of the community needs and subsequently prioritises available resources to
address those needs. The process seek to ensure vertical and horizontal integration between the
municipal planned intervention with the planning efforts of national and provincial spheres of
government as well as within the various sectors of government.
The municipality, like any other municipality in the country, continuously faces challenges of service
delivery backlog, capital funding as well as institutional capacity problems. Its ability to provide the key
infrastructure to achieve sustainable and shared economic growth is therefore at the heart of the IDP
and is underpinned by a series of sector plans that have been prepared in recent years and some that
needs to be prepared. The sector plans include the long term plan (vision 2030), Spatial
Development Framework, Local Economic Development Strategy, and an Integrated Waste
Management Plan, Water Services Development Plan, an Integrated Transport Plan and the
Environmental Management Plan amongst others.
The final 2015-2016 IDP review has been developed in accordance with the community priorities,
provincial and national priorities. The document (IDP) is in line with the Medium Term Revenue and
Expenditure Framework (MTREF) which is a three year projection of both revenue and expenditure.
1.2 THE SCOPE OF THE IDP
The 2015-2016 IDP comprise of seven (7) interrelated chapters that are mandatory for a credible IDP,
in terms of the process followed, actual format and layout, and the content.
The first chapter provides an introductory overview of the process followed whilst the second chapter
outlines the municipal development profile in terms of the institutional and external environmental
scan. The third chapter is an outline of the key development objectives and strategies that the
municipality will implement to achieve its legistlative obligations.
The fourth chapter provides a brief summary of the Auditor-General (AG) and MEC for Department of
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) findings, and subsequent remedial
measures taken to address the findings in compliance with statutory obligations. The fifth chapter is
the financial plan of the municipaliy over the next Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure
Framework. The sixth chapter provides an outline of the performance management framework that

1. 3 THE IDP PROCESS FOLLOWED
The following process was followed during the development of the 2015-2016 IDP Review:
1.3.1 Preparation Phase
On 21 August 2014, Council under item A (4) approved the process plan which outlined the process
followed in the development of the 2015-2016 IDP review. The process plan outlined the legislative
framework, organizational structures responsible for the management of the IDP processes,
mechanisms of community participation and the key deadlines of the activities that are led to the
approval of the IDP Review.
It is important to note that the process plan was prepared in compliance with the Ehlanzeni District
Municipality IDP Framework Plan as required in terms of section 27 of the Municipal Systems Act, No.
32 of 2000.
The process plan was presented to Ward Councillors, Ward Committees and Community
Development Workers (CDW) for notification and information purposes.
The approved process plan was circulated to the sector departments, advertised on the Lowelder
newpaper dated 26 August 2014 and placed on the municipal website.
1.3.2 Analysis Phase
The analysis phase involved the performance assessment of 2014-2015 IDP, the municipal level of
development and service delivery backlogs.
Key strategic documents such as IDP, Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP),
Mid-year performance, Budget and Annual Report were used to assess the performance of the
municipality. As a result, a municipal performance report was developed to guide the development of
the 2015-2016 IDP.
As per the approved IDP process plan, a schedule of the IDP consultative meetings was developed in
consultation with Ward Councillors. The schedule was advertised on the Lowvelder newspaper dated
3 October 2014 and Ziwaphi of 3 October 2014. It was also placed on the municipal website and in all
the municipal service centres i.e Mbombela Civic Centre, White River Civic Centre, Hazyview Civic
Centre, Kabokweni Civic Centre, Kanyamazane Civic Centre and Matsulu Civic Centre. The
communities were mobilised to attend the IDP consultative meetings. Refer to 1.4.1 below for the
issues raised during consultative meetings.
1.3.3 Strategy Phase
Technical strategic planning sessions were held on 8,19 and 22 December 2014 to refine and confirm
the municipal strategic objectives and priorities for 2015-2016 IDP based on previous (2013-2014 &
2014-2015 financial year), mid year performance (2014-2015 financial year) and community priorities.
On 4 to 6 March 2015, the municipality held the Mayoral Lekgotla to afford the political leadership an
opportunity to consider the Technical Lekgotla proposed strategic objectives and priorities for 2015-
2016. The lekgotla which was attended by Executive, Mayor, Chief Whip, MMCs (political office
bearers), Chairpersons of Section 79 Oversight Committees, Municipal Manager, General Managers
and Senior Managers re-affirmed the existing IDP development priorities as priorities for 2015-2016
financial year. The affirmed priorities are water supply, road infrastructure development and storm
water, electricity supply and management, integrated human settlement, good governance and public
18
participation, sanitation/sewerage, community development, rural development, economic
development, waste management and greening, financial management and viability, public transport
and 2010 legacy and revenue enhancement.
During the lekgotla (Mayoral), it was agreed that priority must be given to the service delivery projects
that were not completed in the previous financial years.
1.3.4 Project Phase
The Mayoral Lekgotla that was held on 4-6 March 2015 identified programmes and projects that must
be included in the 2015-2016 IDP.
1.3.5 Integration Phase
During the finalisation of IDP projects, the municipality considered programmes from sector
departments and other governmental parastatals such as ESKOM, and the projects have been
included in Chapter 6 of this IDP.
1.3.6 Approval Phase
The draft 2015-2016 IDP was adopted by Council on 28 March 2014 and made available to the public
for written representations or inputs in terms of section 21A & B of the Local Government: Municipal
Systems Act, 32 of 2000. Public participatioh meetings were also conducted from the 13
th
of April until
the 13
th
of May 2015 to enable all the stakeholders to make inputs on the Draft IDP and Budget. The
stakeholders include organised business (which include Rates Payers Associations, KLCBT,
NAFCOC,Farmers Association etc), Traditional Leaders, Ward Committees, Community Development
Workers, Non -Governmental Organisations, community structures and communities in general).
The IDP was also presented at Ehlanzeni District Municipality’s IDP rep forum on the 18
th
March and
20
th
of May 2015 to give the sector departments, district and adjacent municipalities to comment on
the document.
1.4 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION IN THE IDP PROCESS
It is required in terms of chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 that municipalities must
develop a culture of municipal governance that complements formal representative government with a
system of participatory governance, and must encourage, and create conditions for the local
community to participate in the affairs of the municipality including the preparation, implementation
and review of its IDP. In compliance to the Act, the municipality has adopted the public participation
strategy which reflects ways in which the municipality conducts stakeholder engangement and
consultation in the IDP process.
In terms of the strategy (public participation), the participation of communities is driven through a
Ward Committee System managed by the Public Participation Unit located in the Office of the
Speaker and the IDP Representative Forum arranged through the Office of the Executive Mayor.
Moreover, the municipality’s public participation process comprises of community meetings, zonal
meetings, Mayoral Imbizo(s), Speakers Outreach programmes, business and commercial
stakeholders engangements and traditional leaders engangements.

1.4.1 Community Consultative Meetings
The community consultative meetings took place from 9 to 31 October 2014. The aim of the meetings
was to report on the municipality performance and achievements of the previous financial year
(2013/14 and 2014/2015) and also to give the communities an opportunity to raise and confirm priority
issues that need to be addressed in the 2014-2015 financial year. Table 1.4.1 below indicates the
priorities that were raised by the communities during IDP meetings.

During the 2015-2016 financial year, the municipality will develop a long term strategic plan
(Mbombela Vision 2030) which will provide a comprehensive overview of the alignment and
cascading of the goals and target set in the National Development Plan.
73
The plan will serve as a gateway development strategy document that will take advantage of the
location of Mbombela. It is envisaged that the process will draw on the background studies that have
either been done by the municipality or the provincial government. Once it has been approved, all key
municipal strategic plans such as IDP, SDF, Budget and other sector plans will be informed by the
plan. The plan together with the SDF will serve as the key strategic documents that will guide and
inform the future development of the municipality.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL
PERSPECTIVE
The summary of the municipality’s Spatial Development Framework (SDF) is outlined in section 2.10
of Chapter 2.
1.6. 4 The National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP)
The NSDP advocates for capital investment in areas of growth potential, with an emphasis on
providing basic services and access to social services and human resource development in areas of
need, as well as in those that exhibit less growth potential. The municipality is currently positioning
itself as an area of receiving state investment in infrastructure to support further shared growth and
development. Moreover, the MLM Spatial Development Framework (SDF) was developed on the
premise and understanding of the NSDP objectives and principles.
In respect of the framework (SDF), the municipality took a decision to strengthen its institutional
arrangements and structures in order to support synergy and integration of provincial priorities and
74
programmes. The SDF uses the principles of the ISF to guide development and ensure that the
provincial programme of action and investment in the district and other adjacent neighboring local
municipalities is structured and focused toward achieving sustainable development.
1. 6. 5 The Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS)
The PGDS takes its mandate from provincial stakeholders to define shared growth and integrated
development targets and objectives for the entire province. The initiative focuses on strengthening
growth sectors, the management of resources, and the implementation of strategies. It is important to
note that the manner in which government invests in infrastructure lays the foundation for the location,
form and type of economic activity that consequently develops. The municipality with its strategic
location as a gateway also offers that opportunity of being a one stop shop for investment and
economic growth, and this has been the guiding principle in the municipal SDF.
1. 6. 6 Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF)
The MTSF (MTSF 2014–2019) is essentially a statement of intent by government that identifies the
development challenges facing South Africa and outlining the medium-term strategy for improvement
in the conditions of life of South Africans and for enhanced contribution to the cause of building a
better world. The MTSF gives effect to the electoral mandate. In supporting the implementation of the
MTSF priorities, MLM has formulated its development objectives and priorities in line with the MTSF
objectives. Issues around job creation, health, education, crime and rural development are also
covered as part of the priorities.
1. 7 CONCLUSION
The IDP is a consultative document which details a five year implementation process of the
municipality. Integration is central to its annual review and is therefore discussed at the outset. Both in
letter and in spirit, local government legislation talks of integration as the golden thread that links
strategy, people, process, projects and programmes:
? within the municipality;
? with the needs of the community;
? with provincial and national objectives.
As far as possible, the intention of the MLM 2015-2016 IDP is to link, integrate and co-ordinate
development plans for the municipality. Resources and capacity are aligned with the implementation
of the plan, forming the basis for the annual budget.

2.2.2 Administration development/arrangement
There is a significant relationship between an IDP and the institutional arrangement. The municipality
can not implement its IDP effectively without proper organizational structure. As a result, the
municipality has approved the revised organizational structure on 8 August 2014, Resolution A (6) in
line with the 2014-2015 IDP. The approved organizational structure will also be amended to align with
the 2015-2016 IDP. Table 2.2.2 below indicates the top layer of the organizational structure.

employees to ensure that the Municipality has the best, well trained and suitable employees occupy key
positions at all times.
The municipality has approved the Recruitment, Selection and Induction policy. The objective of the
policy is to provide for a comprehensive policy which accommodates the need for staff provisioning in

The metropolitan areas of Pretoria and Johannesburg are located 320 km inland, with the border post at
Komatipoort approximately 120 km to the east and the Mozambican coastline being around 200 km
away and 55 km from the famous Kruger National Park. Urban areas in Mbombela include Mbombela,
White River and Hazyview as well as former homelands towns such as Kabokweni, Kanyamazane and
Matsulu.
The municipality is the capital city of the Mpumalanga province and the head office of the provincial
government (legislature). The location and its status of a capital city provide the municipality with a
competitive advantage as a corridor for growth and development. The city has two airports, Kruger
Mpumalanga International Airport to the north east, and the general aviation Mbombela Airport to the
south west. Kruger Mpumalanga is used for scheduled flights to Johannesburg and, less frequently, to
Cape Town and other cities.
It is also a home of the Government Research Institute for Citrus and Subtropical Fruits, and the
Lowveld Botanical Gardens. Mbombela is a major stopover point for tourists travelling to the Kruger
National Park and to Mozambique.
2.4 MUNICIPAL PLANNI NG ZONES AND WARDS
The municipality is made up of 39 wards as per the new municipal dermacation, and 5 planning zones

2. 5 DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW
2. 5.1 Population size
The distribution and characteristics of population has an impact on many facets of life. It affects the
area where people live and the prices of the goods and services including basic services delivery that
the municipality must provide as enriched in the Constitution.
According to Census 2011 results, MLM has the population of 588 794. This population constitutes 35%
of the entire population of Ehlanzeni District. Hence, MLM is the most populous municipality in
Ehlanzeni District (Stats SA, 2011). With regards to the municipality’s population trends over the past
15 years, the municipality has been one of the fastest growing municipalities in the district (refer to
figure 2.5.1 below).
Figure: 2.5.1: The population distribution in Ehlanzeni district area
Source: Stats SA, 1996, 2001 and 2011
MLM has recorded annual population growth rate of 1.13% between 1996 and 2001. However, the
municipality has grown at 2.11% per annum between 2001 and 2011 (Stats SA, 2011). These trends
can be attributed to the municipality’s economic potential to attract people from other countries,
provinces and municipalities. According to Census 2011, MLM became destination for about 40, 67% of
all immigrants coming into Ehlanzeni District municipality. The municipality will in the 2015/2016
financial year develop a strategy to manage the challenge of migration.
88
2. 5. 2 Number of households
The number of households is one of the crucial indicators related to service provision in the
municipality. Most of the services the municipality provides are at the household level, rather than
individual level.
According to Stats SA, 2011 results, the municipality has recorded rapid increase in the number of
households in the past 15 years. The results reveal that the municipality has a total of 161, 773
households. This is an increase by 24,420 between 2007 and 2011, while the number has increased by
69 961 in the past 15 years.
When looking at the average household size, the municipality has recorded a decline from 4.46 in 1996
to 3.69 in 2001 and down to 3.59 in 2011. This implies that the unbundling of households, which results
in increase in the number of households in the municipality (Refer to figure 2.5.2 below).
Figure 2.5.2: Number of households from 1996 to 2011
Source: Stats SA, 1996, 2001, 2007 and 2011
The increase in the number of households has an impact in the planning and development of the
municipality. This in other words means that the municipality must earmark land for residential
development in order to accommodate those who will need the space to live. The increase in the
number of households also has direct impact on the provision of housing as well as basic services like
electricity, water and sanitation.
2. 5. 3 Age and sex composition
Age and sex are the most basic characteristics of a population. Every population has a different age
and sex composition. The number and proportion of males and females in each age group have
considerable impact on the population’s social and economic situation, both present and future (refer to
table 2.5.3 below).
89
Figure 2.5.3: Age and sex composition
Description Years
1996 2001 2011
Age 0-14 36.36% 34.55% 29.83%
14-35 (youth) 40.59% 42.47% 43.49%
15-64 (economic active) 57.29% 61.49% 65.95%
65+ (elderly) 6.3% 3.96% 4.22%
Gender Female 52% 52.26% 51%
Male 48% 47.74% 49%
Sex ratio 93% 91.53% 94.29%
Source: Stats SA, 2011
The above table shows that MLM has relatively young population. The table shows that 73.32% of the
municipality’s population is aged between 0 and 35 years. However, the municipality has experienced a
decline in the percentage of people under the age of 14 years between 1996 and 2011, while the
population of youth has recorded increases. This presents challenges regarding services like the
provision of early childhood development services and care, education, sports development and job
creation opportunities. This was also confirmed during the IDP community consultative meetings where
the majority of wards raised the need for local economic development programmes and multipurpose
centres.
With regard to sex composition, the municipality has recorded that females have been in majority since
Census 1996 to the most recent Census conducted in 2011, although the gap has closed down a bit
between 2001 and 2011. This has also been quantified by the sex ratios. There have been fluctuations
in sex ration between the three Censuses. In 1996, the sex ratio was 93 males for every 100 females.
This dropped to 92 in 2001 and then up to 94 males per 100 females in 2011.
2. 5. 4 Racial profile
The municipality is dominated by African (Black) people. According to Stats SA, 2011, 89, 40% are
Africans (Blacks) followed by whites (8.74 %). Coloureds constitute 0.95% while Indians/Asians
constitute 0.72% (Refer to figure 2.5.4 below).
90
Figure 2.5.4: MLM racial profile
Source: Stats SA, 2011
Linked to the race, the dominating language is SiSwati, followed by Afrikaans and English respectively.
The dominance of African people who are speaking Siswati forced the municipality to approve a
language policy which gave provision for the translation of key strategic documents such as IDP,
Budget and Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) into Siswati. The primary of
objective is to ensure that the majority of people understand the core business of the municipality.
2.5. 5 Persons living with disability
According to Stats SA, 2011, the municipality has 5, 32% of people with disability. The percentage has
declined from 5, 84% in 1996 to 5,32% in 2001. However, the disability unemployment rate has
increased from 32, 03% to 38,28% in 1996 and 2001 respectively. The municipality under Transversal
Services unit has programmes aimed at assisting and empowering special targeted groups including
people with disability. Refer to 2.8 for further information.
2. 5.6 Employment profile and income
Employment is one of the indicators that could tell of the municipality’s ability to generate revenue.
Unfortunately, the municipality has high percentage of people who are unemployed. However, the
picture is improving as the unemployment rate has decreased from 37.77% in 2001 to 28.14% in 2011.
Unemployment is high amongst youth, women and persons with disabilities (Refer to table 2.5.6 below).
91

The implementation of the Local Economic Development (LED) programmes, Extended Public Works
Programme (EPWP) and Community Works Programme (CWP) become important in the municipality’s
efforts to create job opportunities to the communities including women, youth and people with disability.
Moreover, it is anticipated that the LED strategy and Spatial Development Framework (SDF) will also
assist in identifinancial yearing key areas that the municipality can invest more money in capital projects
that will create the job opportunities.
With regards to individual income, majority (43.23%) of people in the municipality does not have income
at all. This is an increase from 42.6% recorded in 2007. The highest percentage with income has been
recorded in the income bracket of between R801 and R1600 per month. The percentage decreases
with the increase in income (Refer to table 2.5.6 below).

The municipality’s indigent register policy will also assist people who are unable to pay for services.
2. 5. 7 Education attainment
Education is one of the indicators that depict the level of development as well as potential for one to
have better chances of employment; hence the contribution to personal capacity as well as
development of the municipality.
The municipality has recorded decreases in the population with no schooling, while the population with
matric only and those with matric and higher qualifications have increased over the past 15 years (Refer
to figure 2.5.7 below).
Figure 2.5.7: Level of education
Source: Stats SA, 1996, 2001 and 2011
The reason for the increases in no schooling might be caused by the fact that education has been
identified as one of the top 5 national priorities for government in the medium term period. The
Department of Education has introduced programmes to encourage young people to take education
very serious including those that are in remote rural areas. The municipality is also offering bursaries to
students who have passed matric and are interested in furthering their studies.
On the other hand, poverty and lack of access to educational facilities might be a contributing factor for
no schooling as well as the low level of tertiary education. This was confirmed during the IDP
consultative meetings when most wards raised the need for additional schools (primary and secondary)
and tertiary institutions to increase access of education in the municipality. The establishment of the
university in the province specifically within the Mbombela municipal area will encourage those that
have passed matric to further their studies.
According to the Mpumalanga Department of Education, the municipality has 151 public primary
schools, 59 public secondary schools, 25 independent (private) schools and 5 tertiary institutions.
Comparing the number of educational facilities and the total population of 588794, it is clear that there
is a need for the provision of schools in the municipality. The municipality must allocate land for
educational purposes in terms of the Spatial Development Framework and that should also be linked to
the infrastructure master plans for water, roads and electricity.

2.6 BASIC SERVICES DELIVERY
Like any other municipality in the country, MLM is faced with service delivery backlogs. Table 2.6 below
outlie the service delivery or infrastructure indicators between 2001 and 2011.
Table 2.6: Service delivery indicators

particularly on access to electricity and refuse removal. Items 2.6.1 to 2.6.4 below give the detailed
analyses per basic service.
2.6.1 Water
The current water backlog is 31 710 households. In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of households
with access to water (connected to stand pipes, on site and off site) has decreased from 86.5% in 2001
to 77.9% in 2011. This might be attributed to the rapid growth of the population over the past 10 years
from 2001 until 2011 where the population has increased from 476 903 to 588 794 (Stats SA, 2001 &
2011). On the other hand, it might be due to the mushrooming of informal settlements in the municipal
area caused by MLM being the economic hub of the province.
The municipality has managed to reduce the water supply backlog from 35 752 to 31 710 between 2011
and 2013 (18.8%). Figure 2.6.1 below show detailed information on the access to pipe water.

The above figure shows that the municipality has done well in ensuring that people get access to water
pipes in their yards. About 64.8% of the households do have water pipes in the yard, 22.1% do not have
access to water pipes and 13.1% access water on a communal stand. Figure 2.6.2 shows the status of
water supply in the municipality per ward.

STATUS OF WATER SUPPLY

Source: MLM Baseline Study 2012
The challenge of water shortage in the municipality, is exacerbated by inadequate bulk water supply
and high level of illegal connections on the bulk water supply. However, the municipality is in the
process of finalising the bulk water strategy which will address the problems of bulk in the municipality.
The implementation of water demand and management strategy will also assist in managing the water
lossed in the municipality.
95
2.6.2 Electricity
The current electricity backlog is 15 180 households, and the number of households with access to
electricity is 147 259. In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of households with access to electricity
has increased from 72.3% in 2001 to 90.7% in 2011. This shows a huge improvement in the supply of
electricity in the municipal area.
There are other areas which still need electricity, particularly in the rural areas. The municipality in
partnership with Eskom is in the process of upgrading existing power stations in order to cater for all the
areas within the municipal area.
Moreover, the municipality is in the process of developing a master plan on streets or public lighting
which will address the challenges of street and hight masts requested by the communities during the
IDP consultative meetings.
2.6.3 Sanitation
The current sanitation backlog is 62 409 households. In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of
households with no proper sanitation has decreased from 11.1% in 2001 to 8% in 2011. The backlog
has now decreased from 64 709 in 2011 to 62 409 which equates to 40%. Apart from the decrease, the
majority of households still use pit toilets without ventilation. Figure 2.6.3 below show the municipality’s
sanitation status in 2011.
Figure 2.6.3: Status of sanitation, 2011
None 7,2%
Pit toilet without
ventilation 43,6%
Bucket toilet 0,8%
Other 1,4%
Source: Stats SA, 2011
The above figure shows that 43.6% of the households use pit toilets without ventilation, 33.8% use flush
toilets and 13.3% use pit toilets with ventilation. Due to the fact that the municipality comprise of rural
and urban, flush toilets are mostly used in the urban areas whereas the pit toilets are used in the rural
areas which has been previously disadvantaged. During the previous financial years, the municipality
focused on upgrading water treatment works plants in order to ensure that water is available in all the
areas. Henceforth, the municipality will prioritise bulk sanitation infrastructure in order to convert the pit
toilets into water borne sewer, particularly in the rural areas.
96
2.6.4 Refuse removal /waste management
In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of households that receives weekly municipal refuse removal
has slightly increased from 25% in 2001 to 29.4% in 2011. It must be noted that the increase is only
applicable in areas where the municipality is rendering services, which is the urban areas.
However, the municipality is currently in the process of extending the waste collection service to the
rural areas and informal settlements, and a feasibility study is underway in this regard. Moreover,
transfer stations in White River, Hazyview, Kabokweni and Matsulu will also be established.
The municipality is currently reviewing the Intergrated Waste Management Plan and compiling section
78 investigation reports as per the requirement of the new National Environmental Management: Waste
Act 39 of 2008. Waste minimization and recycling are being institutionalised to reduce the tonnage of
waste reaching the landfill sites and subsequently creates jobs for those who are interested to
participate in recycling program.
2.6.5 Roads and Storm water
An integrated road network is one of the main drivers of economic development and spatial integration
in Mbombela. Currently, there are ± 539 km of municipal tar and paved roads and ± 2005km of
municipal gravel roads. The municipality has compiled an Asset Management Plan and Asset register
for streets and storm water to guide and manage all the streets in the municipal area.
The municipality also has a Roads Master Plan (RMP) which is updated annually to cater for the
completed and new developments. The new university, ICC, Urban renewal project in Tekwane , Nkosi
City and fresh produce market will have a significant influence on the traffic, therefore the plan will also
be updated to cater for that. Table 2.6.5 below gives estimated.
Table 2.6.4: Estimated amounts required to tar gravel roads and to upgrade existing tar roads in
Mbombela

Approval is provided to increase the density or rights of areas without upgrading the services, and this
result in the decrease of the efficiency of the services. For example, the extension of the Mbombela
CBD; roads are congested, storm water pipes are too small and people are parking on sidewalks
instead of on the stands (no place for pedestrians to walk). A master plan is required to upgrade all the
services to accommodate all the developments in the future.
The intensity of the rainfall has increased over the past few years and storm damages are increasing
annually. In future, a catchment management strategy will be complied after the finalisation of 1:100
year flood-lines which is in progress for all the rivers and streams in the municipality. The 1:100 year
flood-lines for Mbombela and Kanyamazane are completed, Msogwaba in process and the balance will
be done in future depending of the availability of funds.
97
There is also an urgent need for attenuation ponds in the municipality to decrease the high volumes of
stormwater in the streams and many streams must be rehabilitated.
About R250 million is required for the Nsikazi storm water master plan and R981 million is required for
the 104 pedestrian bridges in Nsikazi.
2. 6.6 Transport
The Municipality Integrated Transport Plan was approved by Council on 16 October 2007, as per
Council Resolution A (8) (b). According to the Municipal Integrated Transport Plan, public transport
services in the Mbombela Local Municipality are provided by means of buses and minibuses (taxis) of
which three quarter of the people are using buses. BusCor is by far the major bus operator and minibus
taxis operating within the municipality are ranges from 750 to 1000.
The following are the peak period screen line occupancy counts, namely, in the morning peak, 80% of
all person trips are in public transport. This high percentage of public transport users might be as a
result that 59% of the population as indicated under household income earn less that basic of R 1 600
per month resulting in non affordability to acquire private transport. The distance between areas of work
at Mbombela / White River/ Rocky’s Drift Corridor is also a contributing factor to the increased demand
for public transport compared to usage of private vehicles.
The municipal SDF indicates that most people from the Eastern Development Corridor travel almost two
hours daily from home to work. The SDF suggest that jobs must be created closer to people’s homes
or low cost housing be developed closer to place of work to reduce long travelling hours.

The bus and taxi ranks in Mbombela are well located in the Mbombela CBD in the close proximity to
each other at the north east of the CBD. Both ranks require additional capacity and land has been
acquired for future expansion. In terms of White River, both ranks are about 1km apart making it
inconvenient for commuters to travel between the two ranks.
The Hazyview taxi ranks are currently being consolidated so that all taxis can operate in one rank.
Buscor is also intending to move the current rank, although the issue of land availability is a major
concern. Not all public transport routes are tarred or paved and accessibility to service centres is
restricted in some areas. There is also a need for bus shelters at major loading points.
Mbombela is through 2010 FIFA World Cup learned the good ways of managing the transportation
programs such as park and ride and controlling the metered taxi. These lessons learnt will be populated
in the Transportation Strategy and ensure the improvement in the transportation industry. Mbombela
will first establish the Transport Management Unit to deal with the following strategic matters:
? Management and control of the taxi industry
? Management of all Taxi and Bus Termini
? Conducting the local Transportation Liaison Forum
? Coordinating all transportation related matters.
Moreover, the above matters are being addressed through the Integrated Public Transport Network
Programme implemented by the municipality as per its new mandate enhriched in the National Land
Transport Act, 2009.

2. 7 SOCI AL AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
2.7.1 Community facilities
There is a need to provide more community halls for community meetings and other social functions.
Art galleries, cultural centres and theatres are needed for the development and promotion of arts,
culture and heritage within the municipality area. Community halls are currently an option for such
activities. Moreover, there is a need to develop proper sport fields in the rural areas. In as far as
libraries are concerned, Mbombela B has the highest population compared to the other 3 zones but only
two (2) libraries are available of which one (1) is under the provincial government. The library that is
under the municipality is based at the Matsulu Service Centre. Most of the wards during IDP
consultative meetingss have indicated the need for more community halls, sports facilities, parks and
recreational facilities.

Eight (8) of the community halls as well as the amphitheatre need major renovations in order to bring
them to a good standard that will make them user friendly to the communities. These halls include
Elandshoek community hall (which needs reconstruction), Makoko community hall, Luphisi community
hall, Daantjie community hall, Nsikazi/Khumbula community hall, Matsulu B community hall, White River
community hall and Oewersig hall. The plan is to upgrade 2 of these community facilities per year
depending on funding to cover the backlog. The process will involve engagements with the Traditional
Authorities, where applicable, through the relevant Ward Councilors since some of these facilities fall
100
under the Traditional Authorities. Six (6) of the community facilities including the Silulu Cultural Centre
as well as the Mbombela Civic Theatre are in need of minor renovations.
2. 7.2 Sport development
The municipality has Sports Development Unit which is responsible for the promotion of all sporting
codes in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders including the associations. The communities are
participating successfully. Currently, the Soccer sporting code is seen to be dominating due the interest
of the communities. The Unit is seen spending more time in maintenance programs of the infrastructure
from sports field, swimming pools, tennis courts etc. This has been identified as a course for concern to
be addressed.
MLM has been fortunate to inherit the infrastructure which was developed for the 2010 FIFA World cup
such as Kabokweni and KaNyamazane Stadiums. It should be outlined that the state of the art
Mbombela Stadium was beautiful during the world cup and is still well maintained currently. The other
associations locally have been are working with Mbombela on other sporting codes in an uncoordinated
manner.
MLM is a tourist point for most people visiting the Mpumalanga province. Since Mbombela hosted the
World Cup successfully, everybody wishes to visit the city. Due to that, other associations have
expressed interest in investing on sporting codes. Therefore, a strategy on how to explore this
investment opportunities to the best interest of the local citizens will be developed. This will be done in a
coordinated manner and within the perimeter of the law.
The municipality has been successful to obtain funding from LOTTO to upgrade certain sporting
infrastructure. This will create a conducive environment to the youth and those interested to participate
in sports. The council will also develop a strategy which will talk to the systems that must be put in place
to deal effectively with Sports Academies and other Sporting Associations without any prejudice.
The municipality is participating in twining games and inter-governmental activities which involve other
municipalities and other countries such as Maputo and Swaziland. Such type of games serve as the
yardstick for different government spheres to come together share the work experiences and makes fun
through play. In future, the planning for twinning games will be coordinated through Communication and
IGR offices to involve all departments and to ensure that all interested employees participate. The
games will be used for social interaction and cohesion. Furthermore, a strategy will be developed to
enable all relevant stakeholders understand the need for the twining games and its impact on their
involvement.
Lastly, the municipality will develop a maintenance strategy of all sporting facilities to ensure that
facilities are properly maintained and effectively utilized for both Council and the communities.
2.7.3 Cemeteries and Open Spaces
The driving forces affecting cemeteries in the municipality are linked to socio-economic situations in the
area, interlinked with a high mortality rate. The high mortality rate in Mbombela in recent years resulted
in most of the cemeteries managed by the municipality reaching capacity sooner than anticipated.
Some cemeteries are located near riverbanks, springs or boreholes used by the communities as
potable water. This could impact negatively on the water quality, causing health problems such as
diarrhoea. On the other hand, they can could be damaged through floods or high rainfall storms.
101
The majorinty of the cemeteries are located in Mbombela, Tekwane, Matsulu, Msogwaba, White River,
Nsikazi, Makoko, and Phameni areas. Hazyview and Nsikazi zones have a multitude of rural
cemeteries, which are mostly full or nearly full, and due to the environmental impacts associated with
these cemeteries, the municipality in partnership with the Traditional Authorities is in the process of
identifying suitable land for the establishment of regional cemeteries.
Nsikazi and Mbombela B zones do not have any formal or informal cemeteries, and communities are
mostly relying on burial plots on farms (which are decreasing as a result of land claims) or they have to
go to formal cemeteries managed by the municipality which are very far from their place of residence.
The establishment of the proposed regional cemeteries as outlined previously seek to address some of
these problems. The municipality will also ensure that enough land is earmarked for cemeteries during
the development of the Spatial Development Framework (SDF) and Land Use Management Scheme
(LUMS).
The municipality is also maintaining closed cemeteries at Sonheuwel, Nelsville, Matsulu, Kabokweni
and KaNyamazane. The closed sites will be fenced and be maintained as monument for the protection
of the dead and ensuring that they are accessible by the family members for different cultural purposes.
The system to ensure that all the graves are properly recorded and accurate information is filed, the
electronic system will be introduced and an accurate data for all closed and new cemeteries will be
readily available in the system for any related correspondences. It is also anticipated that the bylaw on
cemeteries which is still a draft will assist to address the challenges associated with cemeteries in the
municipality.
With regard to open spaces, the municipality use open spaces for the creation of parks and
conservation of natural resources. Some areas require de-bushing to reduce alien plants and crime hot
spots in the municipality, while sidewalks requires cleaning/clearing and grass cutting. In the case of the
open bushy areas, interventions are sought in the form of appointing service providers to assist in this
regard.
Parks section is in the process of conducting an audit of all municipal parks and other parks for data
collection. The audit will also cover the information on the availability of the public facilities in all the
parks, the number of used graves per area, the amount of space available and the condition of graves.
2. 7.4 Public Safety (Crime, Road Safety, Fire & Rescue and Disaster management)
2.7.4.1 Crime
Crime has reached an unacceptable high level in certain areas of the municipality with Pienaar area
being the highest crime spot in the Ehlanzeni region. This is attributed to the lack of adequate police
stations and lack of capacity within the existing police force and inadequate access roads within the
municiaplity. According to the information received during the IDP consultative meetings, the lack of
street lights in most of the villages and certain environmental factors such as un-maintained parks,
cemeteries and dilapidated buildings are some of the aggravating factors to crime.
In terms of the report received from the Provincial Department of Community Safety, Security and
Liason (2013), the mostly high reported crime cases in the district are property related at 17.3%
followed by social fabric types of crime at 7.4% and lastly violence related crimes at 2.3%. An average
41021 number of people are served by one police station in the district and one police official serving
1000 people (ISDF2006). This ratio does not take into account other constrains like human resource
102
and other related resources. However, the department will be embarking on civilian oversight and social
crime awareness campaigns during the 2014-2015 financial year in order to advocate against crime.
The municipality also participate in the Multi Agency Mechanism (MAM) forum established at both
provincial and district level to deliberate on issues related to crime.
Moreover, the municipality has a Draft Safety Plan which outlines ways of dealing with crime with the
municipal area. The municipality has a toll free hot line for the residents to report any crime and
corruption related activities.
2.7.4.2 Road Safety
There is currently an average of 6581 accidents per annum and most of these accidents happen during
peak hours and after hours. This is confirmed by numerous wards’ that identified the need for visible
traffic policing, pedestrian and overhead bridges to assist in reduction of accidents within Mbombela.
There is also a need to deal with the current dilapidated road infrastructure and poor street lighting as
they are main contributing factors to road accidents and un-road worthy vehicles.
Currently, traffic law enforcement services are delivered through the deployment of Traffic Officers from
the following Service Centres:
? Mbombela (16 x Traffic Officers) (2 x Traffic Officers –Municipal Court Duties)
? White River (6 x Traffic Officers)
? Hazyview (6 x Traffic Officers)
? KaNyamazane (7 x Traffic Officers)
In terms of the criteria set by the CSIR for the employment of Traffic Officers, MLM should consist of
426 Traffic Officers to perform this function based on the following:
? Registered Vehicles;
? Population;
? Kilometre Road; and
? Through roads / National and Provincial roads.
The municipality has managed to appoint 37 Traffic Officers, thus a shortfall of 389. To ensure
maximum visibility and to render a sufficient traffic service more Traffic Officers need to be employed
and be provided with equipment such as traffic patrol vehicles, office accommodation, bulletproof vests,
firearms etc.
2.7.4.3 Vehicle registration and licensing
The Department of Roads & Transport has entered into an agreement with the municipality to render
the services in terms of the section 136 of the Constitution. As a result, the Licensing Unit renders is
currently providing services in Mbombela, White River and Hazyview in accordance with the Service
Level Agreement. The services are as follows:
? Mbombela Services: Registering Authority (RA), Driver’s License Testing Centre (DLTC),
Vehicle Testing Station (VTS);
? White River Services: Registering Authority (RA), Driver’s License Testing Centre (DLTC),
Vehicle Testing Station (VTS);
103
? Hazyview Services: Registering Authority (RA)
The Mbombela Centre is the busiest Centre in the municipality followed by White River and Hazyview. It
services not less than 10 000 people per month on various transactions. The Mbombela DLTCs has
vigorously put systems in place to curb or reduce fraudulent activities. For example, the electronic Natis
System introduced is able to track down the user. The Department of Community Safety, Security &
Liaison has provided the following assets to the municipality with an objective of advancing the service
in Mbombela DLTC:
? 4 X Heavy duty vehicle with computers for testing : Code 10 – 14 (C1- EC)
? 1 X Light motor vehicle with computers for testing : Code 8 (EB)
? 15 X computers for the learners testing (Computerized Learners Class)
The learners test is now conducted electronically through a touch screen computer in all official
languages whilst the driving test is conducted through a tablet that are attached to the electronic
vehicles which are provided at a free cost to the public. The Computerised Learners class has
increased the capacity of test conducted on daily basis from 16 applicants to 45 applicants per day.
After completion of the test, results are given electronically and are non- manipulated. It has been
observed positively that since the introduction of the electronic Natis System, the work has drastically
improved because the system is consistent. This can be evidenced by the severe reduction of
complaints from the public. It must further be noted that the demand of Licensing Services has
increased drastically nationally in the past years. The electronic queuing system was introduced in
Mbombela Centre in February 2011 and is working well. There is still a delay in obtaining driving license
test booking and currently the waiting period is 42 days.
In order to ease access to license services, the municipality is in the process of decentralising or
extending the services to the other Municipal Service Centres in Kanyamazane, Kabokweni and
Matsulu. The extension will be achieved through the following:
? Upgrading of White River Testing Centre to meet Best Practice Model Standard;
? Establishment of Satellite offices in Kanyamazane, Kabokweni, Mbombela Civic Centre and
Matsulu;
? Establishment of Testing Centre in Kanyamazane,
? Establishment of Testing Centre in Hazyview,
? Extension of queuing system in all centres;
? Eradication of fraud and corruption in the workplace.
2.7.4.4 Fire and Rescue
There are currently four (4) fire stations in the municipality, which are Mbombela, KaNyamazane, White
River and Kabokweni. Due to the high volume of accidents, the municipality needs to build more fire
stations in order to enhance ease assess and create a shorter response time to the accident scenes.
The targeted areas are Matsulu, Ngodwana and Hazyview. The Matsulu fire station has already been
budgeted for, and will be constructed in the 2014-2015 financial year.
There is also a need for communication systems that will assist the public to alert the Unit of any
emergency, particularly in rural areas. Road and water infrastructure are of concern, fire fighting
vehicles require lots of water to operate (extinguish fire) and a challenge is when the affected area does
not have enough water supply. Moreover, there is a need to replace outdated fleet and buy off terrain
vehicles.
104
2.7.4.5 Disaster Management
According to the status quo report of the Disaster Management Unit, about 47 000 households in rural
areas are without radio communication system coverage to alert the unit during disasters. Almost 39%
of the households have built houses on wet lines and flood lines which is a serious risk.
The unit does not have a fully fleshed Disaster Management Centre, and is relying on the assistance of
the District and Provincial centres. However, the municipality has entered into an agreement with the
Provincial Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Authorities (COGTA) to upgrade
Coouncil’s Disaster and Communications Centre.
The municipality also participate in the Disaster Management Forum where all issues related to disaster
are discussed, and a Disaster Management Plan will be development in the 2014/2015 financial year.
2. 7.5 Health
Mbombela has two (2) district hospitals which are Rob Ferreira and Themba, one (1) TB Hospital which
is Bongani, and three private hospitals. There are also 29 clinics that are providing health services, 2
are accredited and 27 are linked. Table 2.7.5 below shows the accredited and linked clins in Mbombela.

The newly opened clinic which is operating 24 hours in Mbombela CBD has provided health services
relieve to Rob-Ferreira Hospital which was always overcrowded.
2. 8 TRANSVERSAL SERVICES
The municipality has established a unit, “Transversal Unit” to deal specifically with issues related to
HIV/Aids, women, children, youth, disability, elders (senior citizens), traditional leaders and traditional
healers.
The Unit is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
• To bring forth transformation and mainstreaming all transversal issues, programmes and
projects (gender, children, disability, elderly, HIV/AIDS, youth and traditional healers );
• Advocate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of all transversal issues;
• Coordination and facilitation of all transversal programmes / projects;
• Manage the budget allocation for all transversal programmes /projects.
105
In complementing the above objectives, the Unit has identified nine (9) strategic priority areas and these
are as follows:
• Governance
• Economic Growth and Development
• Infrastructure Provision
• Social Services and Development
• Cross-Cutting Issues
• Institutional Transformation
• The Gender Management System
• The implementation of Masibuyele Emasimini Programme
• All Transversal Services related calendar events (support)
However, in making sure that Transversal issues are mainstreamed in the municipality programmes
and processes, Transversal Services have developed a consolidated draft Mbombela Transversal
Services policy informed by the National Youth Policy Framework, South Africa’s National Policy
Framework for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality, DPLG Gender Policy and White Paper
on an Integrated National Disability Strategy which is still going to circulate in Council Committees, but
a copy has been send to SALGA Mpumalanga and CGE for correction and input.
2. 8.1 HIV/ AIDS
HIV/Aids still remain the municipality’s biggest challenge. According to the Stats SA, 2011, the
municipality has an HIV/AIDS prevalence of 45.1%. It is the second highest in Ehlanzeni District and
over 5000 people are already receiving ARV’s.
Moreover, there are 3000 orphans and 2000 vulnerable children in the municipality that need
assistance (Department of Health Survey). Hence, the municipality is involved in 32 home based care
projects, of which 16 are funded by the Department of Social Services, 15 are funded by the
Department of Health and 1 is funded by the Expanded Public Works Programme conditional grant.
The municipality has an HIV/AIDS strategy which is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
• To provide awareness and encourage the spirit of using ABC / VCT methods for the prevention
of HIV/AIDS;
• Creating a decent understanding of risk activities and the prevention strategy of HIV/AIDS
transmission;
• To concoctive and prolong the lives of those already infected to strongly participate on sports
activities;
• To promote social welfare on the Mbombela Local Municipality employees and the youth, this
will hopefully sustain their positive healthy lifestyle;
• To promote the partnership in struggle against HIV/AIDS within government, non-governmental
institutions, Traditional leaders, Churches, Unions and other stakeholders for the betterment of
the campaign mission statement.
\In a move to deal with the HIV/Aids, the municipality has created a fully fleshed department with Senior
Manager, Manager and Coordinators to deal directly with issues of HIV/Aids.
106
The municipality has also established the Mbombela Aids Council which is chaired by the Executive
Mayor. The following are the programmes that the municipality is rolling out:

? LAC
2.8.2 Youth
The status quo as reflected in the previous sections revealed that the majority of people in the
municipality are youth. In an attempt to address issues affecting youth, the municipality is in the process
of developing youth strategy. The objectives of the strategy are as follows:
? Create health platform for the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between Mbombela
Local Municipality and National Youth Agency;
? To promote youth interest in the municipality;
? To advocate and lobby for young people economic support in South Africa in general
Mbombela in particular;
? To initiate youth engagement with the cooperate world both government parrastetal and private
business;
? To initiate and support initiatives that seeks to advance youth economic development;
? To coordinate the implementation of Integrated Youth Development Plan and the both the
provincial growth strategy and the National Youth Strategy;
? To provide unemployed youth, young people with disabilities, young school going youth in and
around Mbombela with career guidance, counselling, life skill, health and well-being and
internet services as an endeavour to create a better future;
? Create an able environment for youth development;
? Assist young people to access sustainable livelihood and obtain employment /self-employment
and/or information in, education and training opportunities;
? To assist youth initiatives in tourism and cultural activities
? To assist young people to establish comparatives.
107
In respect of youth development programmes, the focus of the municipality is mainly on ensuring that
the guidelines of the local government framework on youth development are adhered to. The focus
however, is on the following two levels of mainstreaming:
? Internal mainstreaming that begins with all spheres of government developing and
implementing youth friendly policies and strategies, setting out clear targets and budgets for
youth within their budgetary and programmatic activities. This approach requires that the
municipality looks at its human resources and ensures that its staff component consists of an
acceptable proportion of youth, with opportunities for training and development and possibilities
for career development within the municipality corporate ladder.
? External mainstreaming is a second level which requires that every line department within a
municipality takes into account the issues affecting young people in communities within
municipal areas. The Framework proposes that mainstreaming be considered in areas of Youth
Policy, Strategic Plans and Programmes. The Framework identifies lessons from good practice
examples in Youth Policy development; from South Africa. Further, it identifies key municipality
Programme Priorities, viz; Infrastructure Provisioning; Free Basic Services; Local Economic
Development; Integrated Sustainable Development Programme; Urban Renewal Programme;
Public Participation; and Skills and Leadership Development Programme for Local Government
for the professionalization of youth work.
2.8.2.1 Junior Councilors
The municipality is in a process of establishing a Junior Councilor structure. The rational behind the
establishment of the Junior Councilors is to teach young people how decisions are taken, implemented,
evaluated or monitored by council most important is to develop second layer leadership both politically
and administratively. In responding to this requirement, the municipality must establish Municipal Junior
Council.
2.8.2.2 Youth Development Agency
The Municipality is requested to establish a Youth Local Office, to be known as Mbombela Youth
Development Agency (MYDA). The agency will work hand in hand with the Provincial Youth
Development Agency in creating and promoting coordination in youth development matters. The Youth
Local Office position will be at Level a Coordinator.
The municipality will be rolling out the following programmes:
? National youth services recruitment
? Mbombela young ambassadors on tour guide
? Back to school campaign for child headed families
? Parliament programmes
? 11 March Memorial Lecture
? Masibuyele Emasimini programme
? 16 June celebration
? National youth day celebration
? Youth in agriculture (YARD)
? Recruitment of National rural cooperatives (CORPS)
108
? Recruitment for South African Navy
? Youth crime prevention
? Dialogue for youth with disabilities
? Mandela day celebration
? High school debates competition
? Children focus week
? Take a child to the work place
? Social Security programmes
? Business Training and Cooperatives establishment
? 16 June tournament
? Allocation of books to 5 high school libraries.
2. 8. 3 Gender Development
The municipality has developed an Employment Equity Plan aimed at eliminating unfair discrimination
in employment and to provide for Affirmative Action to redress the imbalances of the past and create
equity in employment. The policy specifically ensures that women are considered in the senior
positions. Mbombela Local Municipality through its Transversal unit has developed a draft gender policy
informed by the DPLG Gender Policy. The overall purpose of this policy document is to provide a
framework that will serve as a guide for development of gender responsive programmes, projects,
policies, and procedures within the municipality in transforming the status of women. The key outcome
of the policy is to ensure the mainstreaming of gender in the broader planning agenda of the
municipality. Refer to Chapter 1 under the organisational structure for more information regarding the
status quo of gender in the municipality.
2. 8.4 Children
Children’s Rights are enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Departments are,
therefore, obliged to translate the Constitutional Mandate into legislation, policies and programmes at all
spheres of Government to ensure that the human rights of children are meted out to South African
children. According to Ehlanzeni District Municipality, the majority of children in MLM do not have
access to government resources such as clinics, schools, social grants and children who are severely
disabled with no access to assistive devices and education.
The strategic children’s rights agenda of Government is guided by the Children’s Rights Sector’s
obligation to contribute to national initiatives towards delivery on:
• The Constitutional Mandate
• The National Strategic Objective i.e. “A united, democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and
prosperous South Africa”
• The People’s Contract or Election Manifesto
• National priorities
• Regional and International obligations
The Children’s Rights Stakeholder’s Forum was established for the following reasons:
• Is a key structure in enhancing service delivery and equalization of opportunities for children in
the Municipality
109
• Strengthens an enabling environment conducive for Children’s Rights delivery in the
Municipality
• Promotes the legal and political accountability set out in the United Nations Conventions;
• Contributes in all relevant ways to ensure that children’s rights are promoted effectively and to
strengthen accountability which is the hallmark of the realization of these rights;
• will put attention to pertinent issues such as worst forms of child labour, hazardous works,
trafficking and sexual exploitation;
• Promotes cohesion in relation to NGO’s;
• Creates a platform of acquiring data for monitoring children’s rights delivery;
• Advocates for and promotes children’s rights and responsibilities in society;
• Facilitates and coordinates the Programme of Action and the National Plan of Action for
children;
• Promotes constitutional requirements, aspirations of regional and international Children’s
Rights instrument;
• Ensure effective public private partnerships in order to advance delivery of the Constitutional
mandate.
Currently, the municipality has identified donors to assist in allocating books to 5 primary school
libraries.The areas of focus for children’s rights issues will be on early child hood development,
emphasis on education through the back to school campaigns, orphaned and vulnerable children,
substance abuse and social education on teenage pregnancy, career guidance, health education, child
trafficking, general safety of children, social services, infrastructure, nutrition and peer counseling.
The municipality has already compiled a data base for Early Childhood Development Centers (ECD)
and thus far they are 108 Centres. According to the Department of Social Development, 106 ECD’s are
funded and two are still in a process of registration, the total number of ECD learners is 2 713. The
municipality will establish an ECD Forum aiming at creating a platform for ECD Coordinators to engage
Council on issues relating to Early Childhood Development issues. The municipality has visited ECD
centres around its area of jurisdiction with an intention of assessing the governmental services which
resulted in finding out that the is a shortage of sponges and blankets, then the municipality has resolved
to assist through its Transversal Unit in donating 30 sponges and 30 blankets (6 Centres). There is a
fundraising conducted by Mbombela through its Transversal Services in partnership with Ligwalagwala
Fm and Mpumalanga Land & Agriculture Committee for clothing and grocery whereby orphanage
centres will be identified through Ligwalagwala FM to benefit on the programme.
According to the Department of Social Development, MLM has 7152 children who receive foster care
grants and thus far the backlog is approximately 1500 and 2 363 Orphans. This therefore implies that
there is a need to conduct social security programmes.
2. 8. 5 Executive Mayor’s programmes
The Executive Mayor will continue to participate in the programmes that are aimed in improving the
lives of disadvanted special goups. Some of the programmes includes:
? Christmas Party for Mbombela First Citizens, Persons with Disabilities, Orphans and Vulnerable
Children
? Distribution of food parcels, blankets and intervention to poverty stricken families
? Distribution of variations of sidling’s to Primary Schools that provide food nutrition
? Distribution of used clothes/ consignments
? Donation of School uniform to orphans
110
? Donation of gifts by the Executive Mayor to orphanage centres and Inclusive centres
? Donation of spectacles to children with disabilities Albinisms.
2. 8.6 Disability
Historically, disability issues have been addressed in a piecemeal, fragmented way. This has been one
of the key factors contributing to the marginalization of disabled people and the dire poverty of the
circumstances in which the majority fined them in. If the needs of disabled people are to be effectively
addressed and the objectives of the RDP are to be met, disability must be fully integrated into the
principles, strategies and framework of the programme. This will ensure that the effects of apartheid as
they have affected disabled people will be eradicated in a sustainable process of reconstruction.
Thus far the municipality has managed to employ only 5 disabled persons 1 male and 4 females.
Mbombela Civic Center building is accessible for persons with disabilities in terms of toilets, packing
ramps and lift. In terms of database the Municipality have 6 613 persons with disabilities, 43 centres
and one Inclusive School around its jurisdiction.
The municipality does not have a disability strategy, and is currently using Ehlanzeni Disability Strategy.
The strategy aim to achieve the following:
• Facilitation of the integration of disability issues into municipal developmental strategies,
planning and programmes;
• the development of an integrated management system for the coordination of disability
planning, implementation and monitoring in the various line functions at all municipalities in the
District;
• the development of capacity building strategies that will enhance municipality’s ability at all
levels to implement recommendations contained in the Municipal Integrated Disability Strategy;
• a Programme of public education and awareness raising aimed at changing fundamental
prejudices in Ehlanzeni’s societies and communities.
The municipality will establish a Disability Council which will facilitate and coordinate all the
programmes and issues affecting the disable people. The municipality has further compiled a data base
for Albinisms and engaged donors to assist them with spectacles. About twenty (21) Albinisms are
undergoing consultation at Value Mat Center in Dr Stanley and Dekock Surgery. The following are
some of the municipal programmes for disability people:
? Masibuyele Emasimini Programme
? Business training workshop and Cooperatives establishment
? Dialogue on the Rights and safety of persons with disabilities
? Awareness campaign on HIV/AIDS
? Empowerment against any form of abuse
? 16 Days of Activism Programme
? Executive Mayors games
? Social security Programmes
? Women’s Celebration
? Human Rights Celebration
? Sign language workshop
? Disability wheelchair basket ball
? Awareness campaign on building and transport to be accessible(public and private)
? Supported awareness procurement workshop for people with disability
? Supported Ehlanzeni Executive Mayor’s Achievers Awards programme
111
2.8.7 The first citizens of Mbombela
The municipality has compiled a data base for elderly persons with an intension to create a platform for
aged people to be able to engage the municipality in terms of their issues. Thus far according to the
municipal data base there are 22 359 old age persons within the municipal area. The municipality’s
programmes on the first citizens are as follows:
? HIV/AIDS workshop
? Rights and Safety of Elderly people
? Masibuyele Emasimini programme
? Elderly Exchange Experiential programme
? Women’s Day Celebration
? 16 Days of Activism
? International Women’s Day Celebration
? First Citizen Celebration
2.8.8 Traditional Healers
The municipality is in a process of compiling a data base for Traditional Healers to create a platform for
them to raise their issues in the municipality, also for the alignment of HIV/AIDS related issues.
The municipality will be coordinating and facilitating programmes for all target groups to fast track
development of the previously disadvantaged groups. In making sure that issues of Transversal
Services are well mainstreamed, there will be strategic planning on Transversal issues.
2.9 LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (LED)
2.9.1 Introduction
Local Economic Development (LED) is an approach towards economic development that allows and
encourages local people to work together to achieve sustainable economic growth and development,
thereby bringing economic benefits and improved quality of life for all residents within a specific local
area. It is an on-going process, rather than a single project or a series of steps to follow. It involves
identifying and using local resources, ideas and skills to stimulate economic growth and development.
The aim of LED is to create employment opportunities for local residents, alleviate poverty and
redistribute resources and opportunities to the benefit of all local residents. This section outline the
municipality strategy on local economic development.
2.9.2 Mission statement for the LED
The vision for the municipality is to be a “City of Excellence”. In order to attain this vision, the mission
statement for the LED strategy is as follows:
112
“Together in partnership, stimulating economic development by providing efficient service
delivery, meeting the needs of local communities and creating an enabling environment for
business development, economic growth and employment creation”
2.9.3 LED strategy objectives
In order to achieve the municipal vision and LED mission, the following five (5) development objectives
have been identified:
? Development Objective 1: An Efficient and Enabling Municipality with Exceptional Infrastructure
? Development Objective 2: An Inclusive Municipal Economy
? Development Objective 3: An Innovative and Technologically Advanced Municipality
? Development Objective 4: An Education and Skills Development Orientated Municipality
? Development Objective 5: An Environmentally Friendly and Tourism Centred Municipality
2.9. 4 Economic status of the municipality
2.9.4.1 Economic growth
Figure 2.9.4.1 indicates the economic growth rate between 2003 and 2013 in Mpumalanga, Ehlanzeni
DM and MLM. Since 2007 Mbombela has experienced a decreasing growth rate with slight
improvements in growth in 2010 and 2012. In 2010, the mining sector, the trade sector and the
transport sector all contributed considerably to the local economy while in 2012; there was an increase
in the contribution made by the agricultural sector as well as the utilities sector. Before the economic
downturn (2007-2009), the average growth for MLM was approximately 6% while after the economic
downturn (2009- present) MLM only grows at 2% meaning that it has not fully recovered from the
recession. Before the economic downturn MLM also experienced higher growth rates than the Province
and the District.
Figure 2.9.4.1 Economic Growth Compared to District and Province, 2003 – 2013
(Source: Quantec Research Database & Urban-Econ Calculations, 2014)
113
The sectors that contribute the most to the GVA of MLM include:
? Finance and business sector (22%)
? Manufacturing (17%)
? General government services (17%)
? Trade and accommodation (13%)
Mbombela (town) is the capital of Mpumalanga and is situated closely to Swaziland and Mozambique; it
is therefore not surprising that finance and business services and trade sectors contribute considerably
to the local economy as many consumers travel to Mbombela for their shopping and business needs.
2.9.4.2 Sectoral performance
Table 2.9.4.1 below discusses each economic sector and its performance in MLM in brief. Based on
this Table, it is evident that some sectors in MLM, some sectors contribute significantly to the local
economy and has shown good growth over the last ten years.
It is evident that the economy of Mbombela has not yet recovered from the economic downturn in 2008.
Many of the sectors are growing at much lower rates than before 2009. It is therefore necessary the
projects within MLM stimulate sectors so that there can be an increase in economic growth.
The sectors with very low growth rates but still make a significant contribution to the local economy
include:
? Manufacturing
? Trade and accommodation
? Finance and business services

Comment
Agriculture 5% 4% 2% 4% Agriculture in Mbombela contributes little to the local economy compared to other
sectors but due to the ideal location of MLM in terms of exports, tourism, and
trade and the opportunities in this sector for employment creation, the agriculture
sector has lots of potential for development. New developments such as the
Fresh Produce Market will have a positive effect on the local sector by providing
smaller, local farmers easier access to a market.
Mining 3% 3% 5% 1% The mining sector does not contribute much to the local economy due to lack of
commodities to mine, however, the mining of sand provides opportunities for
brick making and other construction uses.
Manufacturing 19% 17% 3% 0% Growth in this sector is declined in recent years but manufacturing in MLM has
potential to expand. This sector can contribute to the trading exports, increase
exports from MLM and stimulate the transport industry.
Utilities 2% 2% 2% 0% The utilities sector in MLM has fluctuating growths and makes little contribution to
the local economy. With new energy technologies (e.g. wind, solar); local
municipalities are open to exploring innovative ways for efficient energy use.
MLM can explore and invest in energy infrastructure for short and long term,
growing this sector will also create job opportunities
Construction 3% 3% 6% 2% The construction sector has shown high average growth rates the last ten years
and more developments in the local municipality will expand this sector and
create the potential for new employment opportunities. The building of large
projects such as the Fresh Produce Market, the high court and legal chambers
and the ICC provide opportunities for employment and growth of this sector.
Trade and 15% 13% 2% 1% It should be noted that, as trade is a sector which derives its demand from other

Comment
Accommodation sectors, its growth can be attributed to growth in sectors such as manufacturing,
construction and tourism. Therefore the growth of other sectors will cause the
trade sector to grow. The future ICC development will have a positive effect on
this sector in terms of employment an increased demand for consumable goods.
Transport and
Communication
12% 10% 2% 2% An enabling environment for growth in other sectors includes a good transport
and road network. When the roads are poor and the railway network is weak, it
has a negative effect on investment in the area as investor would rather choose
different locations with more efficient transport linkages
Finance and
Business
Services
18% 22% 6% 2% This is the most prominent sector in MLM. As other sectors achieve growth, the
benefits of that growth will also be experienced in the tertiary sector such as
Finance, insurance and trade. Growth in the finance sector is important for
access to funding by entrepreneurs and SMME’s.
Community
Services Sector
9% 9% 4% 3% Growth in community services indicates self-sufficiency and independence of
communities to create own economic opportunities, therefore an enabling
environment (basic infrastructure & services, communication technology,
linkages to economic nodes, active corridors and training facilities) need to be
created to allow communities to function independently
Government
Services Sector
15% 17% 5% 3% Government investments drive economic development. Prioritisation should to be
given to growing sectors such as finance and business, trade and manufacturing
to further increase their growth and in turn this will trigger an improvement in
other sectors.
116
2.9.4.3 Sectoral employment
Figure 2.9.4.3 illustrates the growth rate for formal employment in Mpumalanga, Ehlanzeni DM and
MLM between 2003 and 2013. Mbombela experienced relatively high employment growth rates
except for the period between 2008 and 2010. During this period, many sectors had to lay off workers,
especially in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Figure 2.9.4.3: Formal Employment Growth, 2003 – 2013
(Source: Quantec Research Database & Urban-Econ Calculations, 2014)
The sectors that contribute the most to local employment are as follows:
? Government services (22%)
? Finance and business services (17%)
? Trade and accommodation (17%)
? Community services (16%)
2.9.4.4 Level of concentration: Trees index
The Tress Index is a measurement of a region’s economic diversification. If the index is zero it
indicates that the region’s economy is completely diversified, but the closer the index moves to 100
that shows the economy is much more vulnerable to exogenous factors such as climatic conditions
and price fluctuations, and that the economy is considered to be more concentrated.
MLM is a diversified local economy with a Tress Index of 48 (see Table 2.9.4.4). The Mbombela local
economy depends primarily on the government and community services sector as well as the finance
and business sector as well as the trade sector.

2.9.4.5 Comparative advantage: location quotient
This subsection aims at revealing the sectors in the study area economy that have a comparative
advantage. Having a competitive advantage is not the same as having a comparative advantage. In
the case of a competitive advantage the definition stems from the possession of a unique set of
various assets (includes natural resources, human resources, locational advantages etc.) what gives
the area/region a competitive edge over other areas.
To have a comparative advantage means that this economy has the ability to render or produce a
product or service more effectively and efficiently, than its counterparts. The element that determines
the comparative advantage of a region is the Location Quotient (LQ) this is used mainly to determine
the levels of concentration within the study area. The industry groups that dominate a specific area
will have a higher LQ and vice versa.
The calculation used to determine the Location Quotient (LQ) in this analysis is as follows:
118
Table 2.9.4.5a: Location Quotient Interpretation
LQ Label Interpretation
Less than 0.75 Low
Local needs are not being met by the resident sector. The region is importing
goods and services in this particular sector.
0.75 – 1.24 Medium
Most of local needs are being met by the resident sector. The region is both
importing and exporting goods and services in the sector.
1.24 – 5.00 High
The sector is serving needs beyond the sector, exporting goods and services
from this sector.
More than 5.00
Very
High
This is an indication of a very high level of local dependence on a sector,
typically a “single-industry” community.
Table 2.9.4.5b: Location Quotient, 2013
Sector LQ Label
Agriculture 0.95 Medium
Mining 0.17 Low
Manufacturing 0.93 Medium
Utilities 0.41 Low
Construction 1.13 Medium
Trade & Accommodation 1.10 Medium
Transport & communication 0.90 Medium
Finance and business services 1.35 High
Community Services 1.23 Medium
Government Services 1.23 Medium
(Source: Urban-Econ calculations based on Quantec Research Database, 2014)
Relative to Mpumalanga, MLM has a high comparative advantage in the finance sector. MLM has a
medium comparative advantage in all other sectors except the mining sector and the utilities sector.
2.9.5 LED objectives
Each of the five (5) objectives will be defined and discussed below, indicating potential projects as
well as important issues that are prevalent in MLM which will have an effect on the successful
implementation of the Mbombela LED Strategy.
2.9.5.1 Development objective 1: an efficient and enabling municipality with
exceptional infrastructure
An efficient and enabling municipality is dependent on the following points:
119
Proper internal municipal capacity: this means that the Municipality must have adequate
staff with sufficient skills to ensure that the Municipality can function at its optimal level
Service delivery & infrastructure: the Municipality is responsible for providing water,
electricity and sanitation services to the communities in MLM. These services are necessary
for any new developments and assists in creating an enabling environment to attract new
investments.
Municipal planning: Policies and by-laws of MLM should be able to create an environment
that is conducive of growth, that promotes public private partnerships and that is favourable
towards private investment in the MLM economy. LED is only successful and sustainable if
the private and public sector strives towards development and the municipality should thus be
encouraging towards such partnerships and private development in its policies and strategies.
Accountability and Transparency: Accountability and transparency is necessary to create
confidence in the local municipality not only for local communities but also for businesses and
future investors (Batho Pele Principles)
The provision of electricity, water, sanitation and the availability of a good road network form the basis
of any economic development. Road development depends in the necessary funds, space and other
environmental factors. Limited space for the expansion of roads in MLM is a very important factor to
consider when planning for new developments. Roads need to be widened to be able to hold to traffic
volumes but road reserves are too small for the required width or nonexistent due to uncontrolled
human settlement in some areas.
In order for new development to take place in the Nsikazi corridor, formal, permanent roads are
needed. Currently, the gravel roads need high levels of maintenance due to the damage caused by
seasonal rain in the area.
MLM will also be responsible to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place to be able to
provide services to new developments such as the National Fresh Produce Market, the Mpumalanga
High Court and business chambers, and the International Conference Centre (ICC) as well as the
University of Mpumalanga.
2.9.5.1.1 Municipal Branding
The branding of MLM plays an important role in being an efficient municipality in the sense that
branding is all about communication with the public. Residents in MLM should know that by living in
the ‘municipality of excellence’ that they a have access to proper service delivery and infrastructure.
Not only is branding important for creating an image of unity for Mbombela citizens but also for future
investors. The MLM brand should invoke confidence in the municipality and the services it provides to
businesses. Branding of a municipality should highlight the assets of the municipality and area as well
as the services the municipality provides, not create an unrealistic image.
In order to reach this development objective of MLM the following should occur:
Internal human resource management:
o Internal skills development programme
o Having the people with the right skills in the necessary positions
Decrease service delivery backlogs:
120
o Focus on water provision and sanitation in areas with the highest need
o Building new substations for electricity provision
Provision of infrastructure:
o Precinct plans as well as infrastructure management strategies
o Building roads in areas identified for development in precinct plans and reducing the
amount of gravel roads in the municipality
o Upgrading and widening of roads which have large traffic volumes to provide better
traffic flow and reduce accidents
o Public transport infrastructure (taxi ranks and bus terminals)
o Establishing collaborative partnerships in order to enhance the capabilities of the
Municipality in terms of infrastructure provision
Developing practical implementable municipal strategies and programmes
Support for City Improvement Districts (CID's)
Problems that must be overcome in order to realise this goal include:
A critical lack of basic services in areas such as Mahukule A, Mahukube, Lundi and Nsikazi
New developments will need proper infrastructure for service delivery
Municipal funds must be allocated to prioritised projects and activities
Internal skills development programmes should have a specific focus to ensure that skills
gaps can be appropriately filled
Staff in the municipality should be used where they can be most effective
There should be coordination between departments to ensure a unified focus for the
development of municipality.
In many areas of Mbombela, there is infrastructure and basic service provision which is not up
to standard
Crime is a problem in many areas of the municipality
Electricity theft is a major problem within MLM
2.9.5.2 Development objective 2: an inclusive municipal economy
In order for economic growth in MLM to be sustainable an inclusive economy is essential. An inclusive
economy in MLM would mean that there are no barriers to economic opportunity in the local economy
whether it is geographic or social.
An inclusive economy in MLM would thus mean:
Access to health and education facilities
Access to infrastructure (transport, energy, communication)
Access to government services
An incentivised private sector and partnerships between the private and public sector to
enable to create new economic opportunities
A diversified local economy
121
An enabling environment for the creation of economic opportunities
No barriers to entering the local economy of Municipality (spatial and socio-economic
barriers)
Potential projects towards this development objective include:
Creation of new employment opportunities through the development of value chains in certain
sectors to enhance the value-added procedures within MLM (decreasing imports and
increasing final product exports) by means of cluster and corridor development.
Promoting economic activity and in rural areas by providing basic services, infrastructure and
creating an enabling environment for investment
Skills development programmes so that the unemployed can acquire the necessary skills to
be employed in the jobs that are being created by the LED strategy
Transforming the local informal sector
Aligning LED projects with the spatial planning of MLM
Job linkage centre
Re-establishment of MEDA
SMME support in rural areas (SMME incubator)
Enterprise development strategy
Problems that should be investigated before implementing projects in this development objective
include:
Lack of coordination between IDP, LED and SDF
Lack of communication between the municipality, local communities and the private sector
Large informal sectors in rural areas
Majority of the population lives far away from economic opportunities
Lack of compliance and administering of compliance of the local legislative framework in rural
and informal settlements
Creating an inclusive MLM economy is a long term goal and ideally development should focus on the
economic nodes in the municipality from which corridor and cluster development will follow, to
ultimately be an inclusive economy. The first phase of developing an inclusive economy would be to
create an enabling environment (Development Goal 1) with a focus on roads and transport
development, not only of goods but of people as well. A large obstacle for creating an inclusive
economy in MLM is the distance between employees and their place of employment.
122
Diagram 2.9.5.2: Phased Inclusive Economy Development
Mbombela is a regional activity node and ongoing maintenance and revitalisation of this node shoul d
take place through the development of an inclusive Municipal Economy. Development should take
first take place in the following 1
st
order and 2
nd
order nodal areas as identified in the SDF (2012):
White River, Hazyview, KaNyamazane, Msogwaba, Kabokweni, Swalala and Matsulu. Once the
nodal areas have been development, there should be cluster and corridor development to other areas
in Mbombela. Following this development principle can in the long run lead to an inclusive municipal
economy.
Phase 1: Infrastructure, Roads and Transport
This phase depends on Goal 1 as well as the availability of a public transport sector. Many residents
of MLM live far away from the economic opportunities and make use of public transport to get to these
locations. Public transport in MLM is predominantly the use of bus or taxi services. There are bus
routes from numerous rural areas to the nodal points (Mbombela, White River, Hazyview etc.). The
transport of goods in MLM is mostly done by trucks; the R40 as well as the N4 are important routes in
terms of product transfers. The large volumes of trucks, busses and private vehicles in MLM make
road safety very important. The roads that are used by public transport systems as well as the bus
terminal should be focus points for development as these roads experience large numbers of traffic
volumes every day. Investigating the possibility of rail as a form of public transport can also be
explored.

Phase 2: Nodal Development
The sectoral overview and opportunity analysis in previous sectors indicates in which sectors there
are development potential. It is therefore necessary to link the appropriate sectors to the areas in
which their development will be the most beneficial in terms of growth and employment.
The following sectors where identified for development in MLM:
Agriculture
Manufacturing
Utilities
Trade
Tourism
The Table below indicates potential sector development projects based on information from the
enonomic analysis and economic potential analysis.

This project can be in the form of a community project where
organic produce are produced for local markets as well as
exports.
2. Macadamia nut and oil
production
This project would entail establishing new macadamia nut
farms to produce nuts for consumption as well a plant to
produce macadamia nut oil.
3. Compost manufacturing from
farm waste (SMME)
This project would follow the macadamia nut farm project where
shells of macadamia nuts can be used to produce compost for
the use of the farm as well as selling to the local markets.
4. Aquaculture A community fresh water fish farm can promote SMME
development and employment in rural areas of MLM.

6. Packaging plant for fruit
exports (KMIA)
Establishing an export market through KMIA for fruits and
vegetables would require a packaging plant near the airport
where produce can be specifically packed according to the
requirements for exports markets.
7. Juice extraction (citrus,
mango)
This project entails establishing a facility where juice can be
extracted from local citrus fruits and mangoes for the local and
export market as a way of adding value to the local agricultural
sector.
8. Production of essential oil
from citrus peel
Citrus fruits are a very prominent crop in MLM; this project
would entail producing essential oil form citrus peel that would
be normally be waste in the production of other citrus products
such as juice.
9. Cosmetics from essential oils This project links with the production of producing essential oils.
This project develops the citrus value chain by producing
cosmetics and soaps from local essential oils extracted from
citrus peel.
10. Eco-friendly packaging
material
This project entails producing boxes and other packaging
materials from recycled paper and plastic items as collected

11. Food processing for exports This project can link with the organic food production project
where organic produce as processed and sold for the export
market (dried, juice, sauces etc.)
12. Furniture production This project would provide local communities or SMMEs the
opportunity to learn skills and produce furniture from the wood
of the local forestry industry.
13. Arts & crafts manufacturing

14. Solar panel street lights
installation
As a way to save electricity, street lights within Mbombela can
be powered by solar panels.
15. Solar geysers in new
housing developments
New housing developments for local residents should make use
of solar geysers as a way to save energy
16. Business, schools and
household recycling programme
This project entails having special bins or bags for recyclable
materials in schools, local business areas and households as
well as a plant where materials can be sorted to be distributed
to projects for manufacturing (compost, crafts or packaging
materials)
17. Harvesting rain water in
communities without water and
new business developments
Water availability is a concern in MLM and the provision of
water tanks to harvest rain water in communities can help
decrease service delivery backlogs.
18. Programme to encourage
businesses and households to
change to energy saving light
bulbs
This project can be in the form of a marketing campaign to
enlighten households and business about the importance of
saving energy and through this campaign encourage local
households and business to use energy saving light bulbs
where possible.

19. Informal Trade Management
Programme
Establishing a system to manage informal trade and
establishing ‘markets’ which specifically cater for informal
traders is important tools that can help manage informal trade
in MLM.
20. SMME retail development Creating SMME business incubators which are in the business
of trade in rural areas
Tourism * See Development Goal #5
Phase 3: Corridor and Cluster Development
The third phase of creating an inclusive economy is corridor and cluster development. White River is
an existing forestry cluster while Hazyview is an agriculture cluster and Mbombela is a regional
commercial cluster. Value chain development will grow existing clusters and create opportunities for
new local corridors which will promote a more inclusive economy as employment opportunities will not
be limited to the nodal areas.
125
2.9.5.3 Development objective 3: an innovative and technologically advanced
municipality
Technological advancement can be in the form of service delivery, communication, energy provision
and innovative manufacturing incubators. By ensuring that MLM is an innovative and technologically
advanced municipality can mean that processes, service delivery and economic growth can occur at
an optimal level and that there is an enabling environment for technologically advanced cluster
developments. Partnerships between private sector and public sector are essential for technological
advancements such as broadband and Wi-Fi internet connections in public areas. MLM can become
a technologically advanced municipality through:
Creating functioning ICT infrastructure (broadband connectivity)
Skills development in technological changes in certain sectors, for instance agriculture or
manufacturing
Technologically advanced industrial parks
A computer literate population
Using technology to improve service delivery
Projects towards this development goal can include:
Providing internet connectivity to local schools and skills development institutions
Wi-Fi Hotspots in the CBD and places such as libraries
Community computer literate program
E-services
‘Smart’ crime fighting and emergency management
Mobile internet cafes in rural areas
Improving the municipal call centre to be available 24 hours
Problems in MLM in terms of access to internet and computers:
An estimated 32% of the people in MLM have access to the internet, of which 57% access the
internet via their cell phones and only 17% have access at home.
Access to a computer is limited to 20% of the MLM population
Rural areas in MLM should not be excluded from technological advancements (inclusive
economy).
2.9.5.4 Development objective 4: an education and skills development orientated
municipality
A university city can be defined as a city whose economy is closely related with the activities at the
university and supported by university structures; this would typically include university clinics,
libraries, business incubators etc. A university city is typically a city whose population is dominated by
the university population. Many university cities are also centres for technological research and
innovative start-ups. University cities in South Africa include Stellenbosch and Potchefstroom.
126
Conflict can easily arise between local government and higher education facilities, especially if there
are a large number of students. Issues that normally arise are due to housing concerns, noise levels,
crime concerns and traffic congestions. It is therefore very important that there are open lines of
communication between local government and the higher education facilities.
MLM has a number of higher education facilities, especially in Mbombela. These education facilities
include: a UNISA office, the Ehlanzeni FET College, a Tshwane University of Technology (TUT)
Campus etc. as well as the development of the University of Mpumalanga.
The University of Mpumalanga’s main campus is situated at the Lowveld College of Agriculture and
has two other campuses; the hospitality school in KaNyamazane and the Siyabuswa Education
Campus. The Education Campus is not located within the borders of MLM.
MLM will not be a traditional university city where the local economy is mostly dependant on the
operations of the University but the Mpumalanga University, together with other higher education
facilities will assist to fill some of the economic and socio-economic gaps that are prevalent in the
MLM.
The Diagram below indicates the framework with which the partnership between local education
service providers, business and the local municipality can work together to work towards an education
and skills development municipality.
Diagram 2.9.5.4: Skills Development Framework
Focus points for developing MLM into an education and skills development focused municipality:
There is a large majority of the population that have a lack in education
The University will improve access to higher education for local communities
High youth unemployment rates are prevalent in MLM
The University will assist in developing the local agricultural and tourism sector
The University will create employment (temporary and permanent)
Mbombela Local Municipality
Mpumalanga University
Local Skills Development
Employment
Local Businesses Other Education and Training Facilities
127
By focussing on tourism and agriculture studies, the university can ensure growth in these
sectors
Future commercial studies at the university can be very beneficial towards to local economy
as Mbombela is the finance and business hub of the Province
Together with the municipality and other institutions, skills shortages can be addresses and
the importance of an high school education can be promoted in MLM
By working together with other education and training facilities, the University can provide
assistance in terms of accreditation of courses, guest lecturers etc.
Collaboration volunteer programmes between institutions can directly benefit local
communities
Encouraging post graduate research at higher education facilities in MLM
The municipality can assist in maximising the benefits from the University by:
Ensuring that there are basic services and infrastructure at university developments
Working together with the university to ensure that there is easy access to campus and the
necessary facilities for example, shops, libraries, book stores etc.
Collaborating with university in terms of spatial planning in areas surrounding the municipality
Creating a job linkage programme with the university and local businesses to facilitate linking
graduated with job opportunities or internships within MLM to ensure skills are retained within
the municipality
Creating a partnership with the university to create community and volunteer projects in which
students can participate and build the local community
Higher education institutions can collaborate with each other and the municipality to host
facilitate courses or classes in the rural areas
Developing a skills development centre for vocational education and training
Currently, the university is still in its development phase; with only 100 students being able to enrol for
the B(Ed) and 20 students for the Bachelor of Agriculture programme. There is also space available
for 20 students in for the Diploma in Hospitality Management programme. The municipality can
therefore at this stage only ensure that adequate infrastructure is provided to the University and that
the development of the university is part of MLM spatial planning. As the university develops en
grows, the municipality must collaborate with the University and encourage their participation in local
economic development.
Skills development should be in those sectors which have been identified for development as
well as the prominent sectors in MLM.
Not only is it important to improve skills in MLM to ensure that sectors have adequately skilled
employees and that there is a larger proportion of the population who have higher education
but there should also be a focus on primary and high schools and the importance of obtaining
a National Senior Certificate.
MLM can assist in ensuring that schools are an environment constructive to learning by
ensuring that there are functioning services like running water and electricity. The municipality
128
can also assist in ensuring that schools have books, the necessary equipment and adequate
libraries to help learners make the most of their education.
2.9.5.5 Development objective 5: an environmentally friendly and tourism centred
region
This development objective is based on a two pronged approach:
Diagram 2.9.5.5: Development Objective 5 – Approach
a) Environmentally Friendly Municipality
Developing MLM into an environmentally friendly municipality means that the municipality creates a
favourable environment for recycling and waste management activities; encourages sustainable
production practices and promotes the use of alternative energy sources.
MLM can be transformed into an environmentally friendly municipality by:
Promoting the importance of ‘reduce, re-use and recycle’ in local communities
Encouraging new developments to use products such as solar panels for electricity, solar
geysers, energy saving light bulbs and environmentally friendly building materials and water
tanks to harvest rain water.
Encouraging businesses and households to use energy and water more efficiently and to
reduce waste
Creating more environmentally friendly practices within the day-to-day functioning of the
Municipality.
Utilising alternative energy sources to reduce infrastructure backlogs in rural communities
(electricity and solar geysers)
Reducing the carbon footprint of the Municipality
Lobbying nationally for power to be put back into the grid by residential generation options
Tourism Promotion
Objective: An Environmentally Friendly and
Tourism Centred Region
Environmentally Friendly
Municipality
Regional Conservation and
Management of Biodiversity,
Environmental and Natural
Resources
129
Potential projects:
Recycling programmes (involve schools, businesses and local communities)
Manufacture products from recycled materials for the tourism sector
Organic waste to compost programme
Alternative energy for rural communities
Support for CIDs/keep Mbombela clean projects
Waste to energy production
Advertisement campaign on recycling, water and electricity use in MLM to inspire the local
communities and businesses to become more environmentally conscious
Community involvement in environmental protection is essential but unfortunately very poor waste
management systems are in place in Mbombela; 60% of residents use their own refuse dumps to
dispose of waste which can have very negative environmental impacts. Addressing this issue should
be a priority while transforming MLM into an environmentally friendly municipality.
b) Conservation and Management of Biodiversity, Environmental and Natural Resources.
The natural environment of MLM and surrounding
areas play a very important role in the local
economy of the region. The region is renowned
for the Kruger National Park as well as other
natural tourist attractions. Conservation and
sustainable agricultural methods must thus be of
priority to the region.
The increase in the population, especially in MLM will have a negative effect on the natural
environment. Deforestation, overgrazing, erosion and water pollution as a result of informal human
settlements can all have negative effects on the environment which in turn can have a negative result
on the regional tourism industry and the rural agricultural sector.
It is therefore necessary that local government, tourism stakeholders and the local community work
together to protect the eco-systems and natural environment of the region as it can form valuable
linkages to the tourism sector of the region and assist in creating new employment opportunities for
the local communities.
Potential projects for conservation and tourism promotion in the region includes:
Sustainable agriculture programme in rural areas
Management of rivers, streams, wetlands etc.
Addressing illegal sand mining in rural areas
130
It is very important to educate local communities on the importance of conservation and sustainable
agricultural practises. Not only for its affect on tourism but also on the livelihoods of future generations
c) Tourism Promotion
As previously mentioned the natural environment of MLM as well as in the surrounding areas play an
important role in local tourism development; but this is not the only aspect to tourism in MLM.
The following types of tourism should be developed and promoted within MLM:
Adventure tourism
Cultural tourism
Cross-border shopping tourism (Mozambique and Swaziland)
Events tourism (ICC development, Mbombela Stadium, local festivals, etc.)
Rural/township tourism
Potential projects in terms of tourism development thus include:
Developing existing conservation areas in MLM into tourism attractions
Working together with other local municipalities and tourism stakeholders to create regional
tourism routes and packages
Promoting community tourism in areas surrounding the Kruger National Park (rural tours,
local arts & crafts manufacturing etc.)
Creating a Mbombela Tourism Development Strategy which will promote the different types of
tourism which are mentioned above in MLM as well as marketing an branding of MLM as a
tourist destination
d) Tourism Branding
Branding is an important tool to market an area to potential tourists. MLM falls within the branding
area of Kruger Lowveld Tourism who promotes tourism in the following towns and surrounding areas:
Hoedspruit
Schoemanskloof
Bushbuckridge
eManzana (Badplaas)
Hazyview
Malelane
White River
Komatipoort
Mbombela
Kruger National Park area
131
It is important when branding MLM as a tourist destination and
a gateway to the region, to collaborate and align with existing
branding of the area – such as the Kruger Lowveld brand. By
working together with this brand, together with the Kruger
Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism (KLCBT), tourism
linkages to other areas can be strengthened and there can be
collective tourism promotion. It is also important to create a
more aligned branding strategy between private and public
sectors. ‘Kruger Lowveld’ should be used to attract tourists to
all the activities and attractions in the area and ‘the city of
excellence’ should be true to its description in terms of
services delivery and infrastructure, safety and cleanliness to
ensure tourists to stay longer and return to MLM.
2.9.6 LED projects
Each project identified in the MLM LED is classified according to the following of types of projects:
Quick win projects: These projects can be implemented within a maximum of 6 months and
show a quick success. This will ensure that awareness of the strategy is raised, the
commitment of stakeholders is proven and assist stimulate the momentum required to
implement a wide reaching economic strategy.
Anchor projects: These projects are flagship projects aimed primarily at facilitating and
attaining economic development. These projects should be functionally focused and will
represent the primary marketable development drivers in the study area. These projects are
generally aimed at the medium to long term.
Supportive projects: These projects will play a supporting role for both the catalytic as well
as the community need projects. An example in this regard could be upgrading of roads.
Identified need projects: The needs identified by the local community in the study area are
as important as any other project and thus also require facilitation.
Skills linkage projects: These projects relate to opportunities of local economic development
service provision such as municipal labour-intensive projects where local community
members with the appropriate skills can be employed or up-skilled.
132
The Table below indicates the priority of each of the LED projects as well as the type of project.

2.9.7 LED forum
The LED Forum is the backbone for implementation of LED projects as the stakeholders will analyse
the current economic challenges in the municipality and how to address these challenges, in their
specialised field. The forum plays an important role in ensuring community members and local
stakeholders are informed of economic happenings in their local areas and how to benefit and
contribute to projects.
The main objective to establishing a LED Forum is to ensure:
The participation and input from the local community,
Businesses and other stakeholders within the local municipality that will enable co-ordination
between local stakeholders,
Mobilisation of resources, obtaining commitment as well as establishing and maintaining a
common vision.
134
The forum operates in a partnership approach as indicated in the Diagram below:
Figure 2.9.6: LED Forum
These forums are important and critical tools required in bridging the communication gap and
obtaining a common understanding between the local municipality and the community at large.
Furthermore these forums also provide the platform for the Local Municipality to form partnerships
with the different stakeholders.
In general a LED Forum consists of the private, public and community sectors. MLM should also seek
to involve a greater number of representatives from various government departments. This will
increase access to resources as well as provide a different perspective on ensuring and enabling
economic growth within the local municipality.
2. 10 SPATI AL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (SDF)
In 2012, the municipality approved its 2030 Spatial Development Framework to guide and informs
land development and management. The approved SDF gives spatial effect to multi-sectoral projects
identified in the IDP as well as assist the municipality to co-ordinate the implementation of the various
sector plans.
This section gives a summary of key spatial aspects and development indicators that will inform the
development of the municipality.
2.10.1 SPATI AL ANALYSIS
This section outlines biophysical factors that influence where and how people in the municipality settle
and organise themselves in space.
135
2.10.1.1 Climate
Mbombela is characterised by a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and warm summers. The
average daily temperature fluctuates from 6 ?C in winter (June and July) to 29 ?C in summer (January,
February). The average rainfall varies from 10mm during the winter (June, July and August) to
120mm during summer (November, December, January and February). The highest average rainfall
is recorded in December and January. The geographic distribution of rainfall is as follows:
? The highest rainfall (800-1500mm) is recorded in the areas surrounding Ngodwana,
Kaapsehoop, and Elandshoek to the west and in the area north-west of White River town.
? The Crocodile River catchment area and a north-south belt, including White River, Sabie
River, Longmere Dam, Klipkoppie Dam and Da Gama Dam fall within a 700–800mm rainfall
zone.
? The eastern areas receive the lowest annual rainfall between 400–700mm.
2.10.1.2 Geology
The geology types occurring in the municipal area can be summarised as follows:
? A large portion of Mbombela is underlain with the Granite Group which covers most of the
central, northern and eastern areas.
? Highly permeable and erodible, colluvial sands and residual soils overlay the granitic bedrock
(Potassic Gneiss and Migmatite) in the Kanyamazane area.
? The western part has a variety of geology groups including Shale, Dolomite, Quartzite,
Andesite, Ultramatic rocks and Gneiss. Dolomite rocks give rise to caustic features; the most
notable in Mbombela is the 1.8km long Sudwala Caves.
? Hazyview is underlain by Granodiorite and Matsulu is underlain by Gneiss.
Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and/or industrial
purposes. These include precious and base metals, non-metallic mineral, construction grade stone,
petroleum minerals, coal and water.
Minerals and metal deposits deriving from the geology groups in Mbombela include gold, chrysotile
(asbestos) and limestone, mainly located along the escarpment in the western part. The central,
northern and eastern sections of Mbombela do not contain any minerals worthy of exploitation.
Mbombela has limited mining resources worthy of driving the economy as compared to other
municipalities within Mpumalanga that have gold and coal mines. The mining deposits are considered
noteworthy:
? The mine north of Kaapschehoop is continuously producing asbestos.
? Crusher quarries exist at Alkmaar, Karino, White River and Hazyview.
? In the western part there are various localities where gold deposits occur and where it has
already been exploited.
? Two mines situated north and north-east of Kaapsehoop respectively, are abandoned.
? Small scale illegal sand mining is taking place from river beds, mainly in the Nsikaz area
(Gutshwa River).
136
2.10.1.3 Topography
Mbombela lies on the eastern edge of the Drakensberg mountain range. The area can be divided into
three distinct physiographic regions based on the north-south orientation of the drakensburg mountain
range, namely, highveld, escarpment and lowveld.
The topography ranges from mountainous areas in the western parts to gently sloping areas in the
eastern parts. The area falls from a height of approximately 1200m above sea level in the southern-
western part to 350m in the north-eastern parts. A slope analysis, based on slope data received from
the National Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, presents areas with slopes that vary
between ?2% (level to very gently slope) and ?20 %( steep slopes). Accordingly, most of the
municipality consists of steep slopes.
2.10.1.4 Hydrology
Mbombela is situated within two sub-catchments that constitute the main Nkomati River catchment
area. The two sub-catchments are the Crocodile River catchment area and the Sabie-Sand
catchment area. The Crocodile River runs in a west-east direction across the middle of the
municipality and the Sabie River runs in a west-east direction along the northern boundary of the
municipality. The Elands River, running south-east to north-west, is the main tributary flowing into the
Crocodile River. The North Sand River, running north-south, is the main tributary flowing into the
Sabie River. Other rivers of note include Ngodwana River, Nels River, White River, White Waters
River, Gutshwa River, Nsikazi River, Houtbosloop River, Lupelule River, Rietspruit River and
Blinkwater River.
The main dams in Mbombela are Longmere, Ngodwana, Da Gama, Klipkopje, Primkop, Nsikazana,
Friedenheim, Kwena (situated outside Mbombela in Thaba Chweu), Witklip (situated outside
Mbombela in Thaba Chweu) and Inyaka (situated outside Mbombela in Bushbuckridge).
2.10.1.5 Geohydrology
The Kanyamazane area is underlain by a granite aquifer which is estimated to store approximately
5000m of water per km² and receives ±25 000m³ per annum of recharge from rainfall. Large
exploitation of groundwater is limited due to the physical hydraulic nature of granite aquifers.
Groundwater quality is good although contamination is taking place. Groundwater drainage is in an
easterly direction. The area to the north of Mbombela is typically underlain by un-oxidised residual
dolomite soils however some of the areas appear to be oxidised and as a consequence are likely to
be very permeable. Other areas may have sinkholes forming as a result of the poor drainage and
where the dolomite rock is less than 6 meter deep.
2.10.1.6 Vegetation
The most dominant vegetation type is the Legogote Sour Bushveld, covering most of the western,
central and northern parts. The Highveld regions in the west is characterised by grassland vegetation.
Typical plants include red-hot pokers, pineapple, lilies, scillas, gladioli, watsonias, brunsvigias and
numerous terrestrial orchards and summer rainfall proteas. The Lowveld region is characterised by
the Croc Gorge Mountain Bushveld, Malalane Mountain Bushveld and Pretoriuskop Sour Bushveld.
137
The Escarpment is characterised by the Northern Escarpment Dolomite Grasslands, Steenkamsberg
Montane Grassland, Northern Escarpment Dolomite Grassland and Long Tom Pass Montane.
2.10.1.7 Biodiversity
Mpumalanga Biodiversity Conservation Plan (MBCP) is a spatial plan that groups the province’s
biodiversity assets into six conservation categories based on the measured distribution of hundreds of
biodiversity and ecological features throughout the province. The MBCP for Mpumalanga was
superimposed on the municipal area. The following is evident from the plan:
? Protected areas such as Kruger National Park, Botanicl Garden,
? Irreplaceable areas mainly include the Crocodile Gorge and western escarpment areas
stretching from Elandshoek to Kaapsehoop, with a few patches scattered in Schoemanskloof.
? Highly significant areas are predominantly found in the western part of the municipality. It is
also found, to a lesser extent, around Barberton Nature Reserve, at Luphisi, Mpakeni, Numbi
and between White River and Rocky Drift.
? Important and necessary – includes an area stretching from Numbi to Legogote, an area at
Rocky Drift, an area stretching from Mataffin to Schagen and further north-east and a few
patches along the southern municipal boundary.
? Least concern – these areas are focused in the eastern part of the municipality, east of the
R40.
? No natural habitat remaining – includes the areas that are settled on, forestry areas and areas
used for irrigation purposes.
? Ecological and aquatic corridors – The Sabie and Crocodile Rivers are both categorised as
ecological and aquatic corridors.
The largest protected area is the Kruger National Park followed by the Mthethomusha Nature Reserve
situated on the border of the Kruger National Park. The plateau at Kaapsehoop is an important area
for conservation of plants, particularly herbaceous grasslands species. This area also has the third
largest breeding population of Blue Swallow in South Africa. The Crocodile Gorge has a high scenic
value and a high diversity of habitats and is considered an area of particular ecological and
conservation importance.
2.10.1.8 Agricultural capability
Agricultural land capability is the total suitability for use, in an ecologically sustainable way, for crops,
for grazing, for woodland and for wildlife. The land with a very low agricultural capability coincides with
the mountainous areas. The land with a low agricultural capability is located in the Kruger National
Park, Schoemanskloof, Ngodwana, at Pienaar and Daantjie and north-east of Legogote. The larger
extent of the municipality contains land with a medium agricultural capability. The land with a high
agricultural capability is located at Kiepersol to the north and along the Crocodile River and its
tributary to the west.The weathering of different geology types determine the type of soils (depth,
texture etc.), minerals and metals to be found in different areas, which together with other factors,
determines mining possibilities, agricultural opportunities and vegetation types.
2.10.2 STRATEGIC SPATI AL FRAMEWORK
138
The municipality’s spatial vision is to achieve sustainable development in respect of people, economy
and environment. In order to achieve the spatial vision, the municipality has identified the following 7
spatial strategies:
? Establish a Municipal Open Space System
? Protect prime and unique agricultural land
? Focus areas for land reform
? Develop and strengthen rural-based tourism
? Establish an integrated movement system
? Direct urban growth and promote compact integrated development
? Consolidate and intensifinancial year development in economic opportunity zones
The above strategies are the once that are going to guide the future development of Mbombela.
Figure 2.10.2 show the desired spatial pattern of the municipality informed by the spatial strategies.

2.10.2.1 Establish a Municipal Open Space System (MOSS)
Mbombela’s geophysical features (such as mountains and plains), natural resources (such as
biodiversity and hydrological systems) and cultural landscapes are central to the way in which
residents and visitors identifinancial year with Mbombela.
People use natural and more formally developed open spaces for exercise, recreation, and cultural
and religious activities, but also derive a sense of well-being from viewing open space, or merely
139
knowing it is there to be used.In addition, by using the ecological services of nature, Mbombela
reduces some of its operating costs, e.g. reeds in wetlands help purifinancial year stormwater, and
improve river water quality.
For these resources to be used en enjoyed by present and future generations, it is critical that they
are defined and protected. Mbombela’s protection-worthy natural resources and assets will determine
where urban development should not go in the medium and longer term, and or where the impact of
development must be carefully managed. Refer to figure 2.10.2.1 for this strategy map.
Figure 2.10.2.1: Strategy 1: Establish a Municipal Open Space System (MOSS)
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.2 Protect prime and unique Agricultural land
Economic development and national food security depend on the availability of productive and fertile
agricultural land, which is consistently threatened by the demand for land for residential and industrial
development.
The Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (Act 43 of 1983) provides for the conservation of
natural agricultural resources through prevention of erosion and the destruction of water resources,
and veld protection measures. Currently the retention of productive agricultural land is administered
through the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act, 1970 (Act 70 of 1970) which controls the subdivision
of agricultural land and its use for purposes other than agriculture. In the near future the use of this
scarce resource will be regulated in terms of the Sustainable Utilisation of Agricultural Resource Bill
(SAUR). Enshrined in the SUAR is the national policy on the protection of high potential and unique
140
agricultural land (HPUAL). The Bill tasks provinces with the responsibility of ensuring that the
principles of the HPUAL policy are incorporated into municipal IDPs and SDFs.
In view of the above, the municipality will ensure that the development does not compromise the
production of prime and unique agricultural land within the municipal area. Figure 2.10.2.2 below
show the strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.2: Strategy 2: Protect prime and unique agricultural land
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.3 Focus areas for land reform
Although the municipality is not the key agent for land reform, the municipality has an obligation to
identifinancial year focus areas for land reform. The Department of Rural Development and Land
Reform should work closely with Mbombela to prepare an Area Based Plan (ABP) in order to
incorporate land and agrarian reform projects into its IDP and SDF.
This strategy aims to identifinancial year land reform focus areas in the municipality in order to
achieve the government objectives of providing tenure security that creates socio-economic
opportunities of people living and working on farms and in communal areas, providing land for
sustainable human settlements, industrial and economic development, providing efficient land use
and land administration services and providing skills development framework for agrarian land reform
to all relevant stakeholders. Figure 2.10.2.3 show the map of this strategy.

2.10.2.4 Develop and strengthen rural-based tourism
The scenic environment (natural resources), coupled with numerous attractions, rich cultural heritage
and Kruger National Park, being one of the top ten tourist attractions in South Africa, make Mbombela
a sought after destination to tourists. These attractions need to be consolidated into a municipal wide
tourism destination network and need to be made even more accessible. Such a network should form
an integral part of the broader Mpumalanga Tourism Growth Strategy. Refer to figure 2.10.2.4 for the
map of the strategy.

2.10.2.5 Establish an integrated movement system
Mbombela must have a movement system that provides all residents with convenient and affordable
access to the municipality’s resources and amenities. This movement system have a profound
impact on spatial development patterns and accessibility, and hence on economic and social
opportunity. The aim of this strategy is improve mobility and linkage between the eastern and
western built-up areas of Mbombela and to promote spatial reconstruction and integration.
In line with Mbombela’s Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) and Land Use Transportation Strategy
(LUTS), the movement system cannot simply be reactive to existing demand patterns but must be
structured to cater for possible future demands. The municipality therefore will focus on taxi feeder
(line haul system), regional roads interventions, bus rapid transit system and commuter rail system.
Refer to figure 2.10.2.5 for the map of this strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.5: Strategy 5: Establish an integrated movement system
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.6 Direct urban growth and promote compact integrated development
Mbombela needs actively to pursue a compact form of development, where growth is directed
towards areas suitable for development, and away from important resource areas and hazards. The
future spatial development of the municipality needs to be efficient; needs to make the most of
existing infrastructure investments and capacities, and the resources required for the adequate
maintenance of these systems, before creating new infrastructure and maintenance demands.
Land is a scare resource in the municipality and a delicate balancing act is needed to deal with
competing needs for conservation, productive land and urban development. The municipality will
improve its efficiency and sustainability by helping to protect the environmentally sensitive land by
reducing demand for this land, making better use of the municipality’s limited resources for
infrastructure investments and maintenance and supporting more transport options, as higher
densities will provide the required thresholds to make public transport viable and offering a better,
143
more convenient lifestyle for people who cannot drive, such as eldery, very young and disable people,
as a greater number of facilities and opportunities will be accessible by foot, bicycle or public
transport.
Compact settlements will be achieved through introducing planning tools that contain the settlement
footprint (through urban edges) and encourage responsible densification (through strategic infilling
and the intensification of land uses within the existing footprint, aligned with concentrations of
economic activity, public transport, infrastructure and amenities). Refer to figure 2.10.2.6 for the map
of this strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.6: Strategy 6: Direct urban growth and promote compact integrated development
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.7 Consolidate and intensify development in Economic Opportunity Zones
This strategy is advocating that economic activity (formal and informal) be encouraged to locate within
economic opportunity zones across the municipality, related to the accessibility grid. These
opportunity zones will be focal points for enabling public sector infrastructure investment (information
communication technology, upgrade of roads and utility services). Public infrastructure investment
and proactive land management strategies will provide a measure of certainty and direction to private
investors.
Such economic opportunity zones should therefore serve as logical investment locations, given their
higher thresholds associated with higher densities and concentrated flows of people, are convenient
and accessible, as they are served by public transport and public amenities and facilities and are
supported by mobility routes that facilitate relative ease of movement of people and freight.
The municipality economic opportunity zones are envisaged on the accessibility grid of nodal
development and corridor development. The nodal development involves areas where a higher
intensity of land uses and activities are supported and promoted. On the other hand, corridor
144
development entails links between nodes, along which an increased intensity of development and
activities may be encouraged. Depending on the intensity of activity, the width of the strip could range
from half a street block to two or more street blocks. Refer to figure 2.10.2.7 for the map of this
strategy.

Zones

2.10.3 DESIRED SPATIAL PATTERN
The desired spatial pattern basically distinguishes between urban and rural development areas by
means of an urban edge, where rural areas are typically characterised by primary economic activities
i.e.: agriculture, agri-processing, agri-villages, road related purposes including accommodation and
vehicle related services, regional services (cemeteries, waste sites, reservoirs, electricity lines),
tourism and other uses such as quarries and mining. On the other hand, urban areas are typically
characterised by secondary and tertiary economic activity with some primary i.e.: urban agriculture,
building materials, resource extraction.
Urban-rural distinction in the municipality is made by dividing the municipality into 5 zones, where
zone 1 is mainly urban and zones 2 to 5 are mainly rural in character. Zone 1 is Urban Development
Zone (UDZ), zone 2 is Kruger National Park Conservation Zone, zone 3 is Kiepersol-White River
Agricultural Zone, zone 4 is Western Agricultural Zone and zone 5 is Central Agricultural Zone
By nature, Zones 2-5 are not “development areas”, so the interventions in these areas should be
minimized to aspects such as utilizing certain assets (e.g. high potential agricultural land to promote
intensive agriculture and environmental assets to promote tourism), creating rural service centres
where rural communities can access day-to-day services, creating rural residential settlements to
145
provide housing opportunities for people who are involved in the rural economy and ensuring
sufficient linkages between the rural and urban environments.
Each zone is briefly described below, including strategic objectives and development directives (Note:
The demarcation of these zones is conceptual and not cadastral specific). Refer to figure 2.10.3
below for the desired spatial pattern
Figure 2.10.3: MLM Desired spatial pattern
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.3.1 Urban Development Zone
Urban development zone includes all land situated within the urban edge, including existing built-up
areas, areas earmarked for future urban development (next 20 to 30 years) as well as undevelopable
land (due to topographical, environmental or any other constraints). The main objective of this zone is
to create a more compact municipality that will improve its efficiency and sustainability and to
consolidate and intensifinancial year development in economic opportunity zones as required in terms
of the spatial strategies 6 and 7 respectively.
2.10.3.2 Kruger National Park Conservation Zone
This zone is located along the length of the Kruger National Park and stretches from the northern to
the southern municipal boundary, from Sabie River to Mbombela.It includes the Methethomusha
Nature Reserve, Crocodile Gorge, Crocriver Mountain Conservancy, Legogote Mountain and the
existing rural settlements of Luphisi, Mpakeni, Sipelanyane, Buyelani, Mahukube, Mjejane, Makoko
and Phameni. Mayfern is an existing agricultural village located east of Mbombela.
146
The Sabie, Crocodile, Gutshwa and Nsikazi Rivers are the main rivers traversing this zone. Minor
districts roads, mainly gravel, characterise this zone with the exception of the N4 highway and road
R536 to Phabeni Gate.
The Maputo railway line is located in the southern part with another railway line running parallel along
the length of the KNP. Numbi and Phabeni Gates are two existing gates to the park, two alternative
gates are proposed at Makoko and another at Luphisi.
The zone aimes to achieve the internationally competitive tourism and conservation initiatives are
supported in this zone to strengthen the Tourism Biodiversity Conservation Initiative between
Swaziland and Mpumalanga; the feel and experience of the Kruger National Park is projected into the
municipality, which need to be retained and strengthened as it serves as a distinguishing feature and
has excellent marketing potential; improve access to the Kruger National Park, especially from the
Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, N4 highway and railway line running parallel to the park’s
border; exploit the tourism potential provided by the existing Kruger Park Gates and north-south
railway line running along the KNP boundary and the use of land in this zone should be in support and
complimentary to the Kruger National Park and should serve as an interface between the park and
the Urban Development Zone.
2.10.3.3 Kiepersol-White River Agricultural Zone
This area roughly stretches from Sabie River in the north to the R37 Lydenburg road in the south, the
North-Sand River in the east and the municipal boundary in the west. Commercial farming dominates
the area (mainly subtropical farms along the Sabie River and in the Kiepersol area) and forestry
plantations. The Kiepersol and Big 5 Centre provide day-to-day services to surrounding farming
communities. Sabie, North-Sand, White River, Sandspruit and Nelsriver are prominent rivers crossing
this zone including 3 dams namely Da Gama, Longmere and Klipkopje.
The area is backboned by the R40 route, which is the main road from Mbombela to Hazyview. The
R538 is a major collector road linking White River with Hazyview through Swalala. Regional access
roads include the R37 to Lydenburg and the R536 and R537 to Sabie.
Tourist developments opt to locate along the R537 road between Hazyview and Sabie, around the 3
dams and along the R538 road between White River and Legogote. The zome aims to utilise tourism
facilities for permanent or long-term residential use needs to be restricted; develop rivers, natural
forests and wetlands is restricted and shall only be allowed after legal environmental procedures have
been conformed with; promote sand mining and discourage urban encroachment.
2.10.3.4 Western Agricultural Zone
This zone is located in the western part of the municipal area, west of the R40 road and characterised
with steep slopes, high rainfall and various localities where mining took place in the past. Today this
area is dominated by commercial agriculture including forestry plantations on the higher lying areas
and intensive agriculture in the valleys along the Elands and Crocodile Rivers and their tributaries.
Rural service centres includes Ngodwana, Kaapsehoop, Elandshoek and Alkmaar.
A number of small industries have established in the area. Forestry villages are located at
Houtboschoek (SAPPI) and Berlin (Komatiland Forest). Food processing factories are located at
Barvale Farm (SAD), Solomon’s Farm and Alkmaar. Numerous tourist facilities are situated along the
N4 highway, including restaurants, tea rooms, hotels, guest houses, lodges, fruit stalls and curios
147
shops. The Sudwala Caves, Schoemanskloof and Kaapsehoop are the most prominent tourist
attractions in the area.
The N4 highway and Gauteng-Maputo railway line are the main linkages traversing the area. Other
important links include the R539 to Sabie via Sudwala caves and the Ngodwana-Kaapsehoop-
Mbombela link
The zone aim to achieve the following:
? Regional access provided by the N4 Maputo Development Corridor needs to be exploited by
focusing on strategically placed tourism developments as well as agri- and forestry industries.
The mobility function of the N4 should however not be impeded.
? The Sudwala Caves, known to be the world’s oldest dolomite caves needs to be promoted as
a tourism attraction point, together with Kaapsehoop, Schoemanskloof and surrounding
archaeological sites, heritage sites and nature reserves.
? The existing rural service centres of Kaapsehoop, Nogodwana, Elanshoek and Alkmaar
should not be viewed as focus areas for future growth.
? High potential agricultural land along the Crocodile River catchment area needs to be
protected and be used for commercial farming. Linkages should be improved to market
areas.
? Small scale downstream beneficiation of agricultural products should be actively promoted, as
these activities can contribute to the growth of the local economy.
? To optimise and further develop the agricultural, forestry and tourism potential of this area.
2.10.3.5 Central Agricultural Zone
This triangular piece of land is centred between the N4, R40 and R538 surrounded by Mbombela,
White River, Plaston, KMIA and Karino. Mountainous areas and high potential agricultural land
constitutes the area and includes developments such as Wild Fig Country Estate and Likweti Private
Game Reserve.
Prominent rivers traversing the area include White River in the east and the Crocodile River in the
south including the Primkop and Friedenheim Dams. Minor district roads are located the northern
part of this zone.
The zone aimes to achieve the regional access provided by the N4 Maputo Development Corridor,
proximity of the KMIA, R538 and R40 roads needs to be exploited by focusing on strategically placed
tourism developments as well as agri-industries; the mobility function of the N4, R538 and R40 should
be protected by any development in this zone; high potential agricultural land needs to be protected
and be used for commercial farming and land uses in this zone shall support the development
envisaged around the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and IDZ along the Karino-KMIA-
Plaston activity corridor.
2.10.4 MBOMBELA GOLDEN TRI ANGLE
The Golden Triangle also plays a role in the overall spatial development of the municipality. The
Golden Triangle has been designed in line with the 7 spatial strategies outlined in the previous section
and the National Spatial Development Perspective principle of developing the area according to its
potential. The N4 has been identified as the area with industrial potential, where as the R40 road has
148
been identified as the area with tourism potential due to the existence of Kruger National Park. The
Spatial Development Framework (SDF) that is in the process of review will give effect to the Golden
Triangle. Figure 2.10.4 below illustrates the Golden Triangle of MLM.

tunnel towards Matsulu/Maputo; green notation symbolize the “green belt” for tourism that starts from
Machadodorp/ZASM tunnel to Hazyview. The green notation also covers the R40 road to Hazyview.
The blue notation symbolize the “blue belt” from Hazyview, Nsikazi and towards Matsulu, where
infrastructure, particularly water need to be provided.
2.11 RURAL DEVELOPMENT, AGRICULTURE AND LAND REFORM
Rural development linked with agriculture and land reform is a key strategic priority by all spheres of
government aimed at creating integrated and sustainable human settlements with access to basic
services, viable and sustainable agricultural and none agricultural rural-based enterprises
development geared to build the local rural economy enhance rural livelihood development and food
security.
The basis and the rationale behind the MLM rural development strategy, linked with agriculture and
land reform is informed by the following government policy provisions and promulgations:
? Integrated and Sustainable Rural Development Strategy (ISRDS)
149
? Comprehensive Rural Development Program( CRDP)
? Land Tenure Security Bill
? Agricultural Sector Plan( ASP)
? Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for SA ( ASGISA)
? Industrial Policy Action Plan 2 ( IPAP 2)
? New Growth Path (NGP)
The MLM convened an all-inclusive Rural Development Summit on the 9
th
and 10
th
September 2011,
with the overriding objective to develop an integrated MLM home-grown rural development strategy
adaptive and aligned with the above policies for implementation purposes. The following primary
stakeholders participated into the Summit, as:
? Sector Departments: (7 National Departments): Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Forestry; Department of Rural Development and Land Reform+ regional Land Claims
Commission; Department of Trade and Industry; Department of Economic Development;
Department of Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs; Department of Monitoring and
Evaluation; National Planning Commission.
? Sector Department: (3 Provincial Departments): Department of Agriculture, Rural
Development and Land Administration; Department of Economic Development, Environment
and Tourism; Department of Human Settlements.
? Research and Development Institutions: Council for Scientific and Industrial Research,
Agricultural Research Council & GTZ
? Commodity-based Organizations: Grain South Africa; SA Poultry Association/Developing
Poultry Farmers Organization; South African Pork Producers Organization
? Development Finance Institutions: Industrial Development Corporation, Development Bank of
Southern Africa, National Development Agency, National Youth Development Agency,
Mpumalanga Economic and Growth Agency.
? Livestock/Poultry Producers: Communal/tribal projects, Redistributed land projects &
Restituted land projects.
? Crop/Grain Producers: Communal/tribal projects, Redistributed land projects & Restituted
land projects.
? Private Sector partners: Heidel Eggs, Earth-oil SA; Naledi Developments; Lehakwe Capital,
B.Biyela Consultants; Feed-master.
The Summit adopted the MLM Rural Development Strategy, anchored by key three pillars, as:
? Rural infrastructure planning in the areas of basic infrastructure and ward-level planning and
governance through harnessing the functionalities of existing community-based institutions
and utilization of the National Youth Service Corps/Brigades.
? Institutional mechanisms and co-ordination on development of a statutory legal entity(
Mbombela Rural Development Council), a replica of the Presidential Advisory Group model,
to act as a strategizing Think Tank/Fora to advice the MLM on rural development, human
settlements, agriculture, land reform and economic development in general
? Establishment of an agricultural-based development zone/development corridor ( to be
captioned as the ADZ) based on a mixed farming model incorporating priority high impact
commodities with potential to stimulate and raise the MLM GGP/GDP.
150
The Rural Development Strategy will be reviewed in the 2015/2016 financial year in order to align with
the IDP priorities.
151
2.11.1 Implementation of Summit Resolutions
The pre-Summit and immediate post-Summit era has been characterized by extensive consultative
processes, which as part of the Summit proceeds the following milestones have been achieved:
? Ten (10) MLM-based Co-ops have been established to represent the small-scale commodity
producers across the agricultural value chain, and the 10 Co-ops are : Broilers, including free-
range chickens; Layers/Eggs; Hatchery; Feed-mill/Granular Plant; Abattoir; Grain; Essential
Oils; Fisheries; Piggeries; Nursery & Vegetables)
? The Co-ops will qualifinancial year for grants, captioned as Co-ops Incentive Scheme, for
purposes of acquiring initial seed capital.
? A site research and visitations were conducted by the MLM with the 10 Co-ops to the North
West( Poultry Value-Chain/Koster at the invitation of the Kuipers Group/ an RSA and Holland-
based entity& Essential Oils/Vegetables/Kroondale at the invitation of Earth-oil SA headed by
former CSIR chemistry specialists) with the objective to access hands-on
? Business Development Planning (BDP) for the overall value chain to be conducted and
underway, with Requests for Proposals from Professional Services Providers being evaluated
for immediate appointment.
? Detailed conceptualization processes of the ADZ were interacted with relevant sector
departments and involved entities towards an extent of soliciting maximum collaboration, buy-
ins and consent for the de-commissioning of the ADZ.
2. 11.2 Current Situational Analysis on the ADZ processes
The MLM seeks to engage with a project-based strategy and approach geared to facilitate the
establishment of an Agricultural-based Development Zone(ADZ), be located in the Eastern Corridor
development axis as follows:
? A centralized production and processing facilities in the short term for the overall poultry value
chain to be located at the farm described as Peebles 31 JU a land Restitution project under
the Mbayane Community Trust, adjacent Mganduzweni, Jerusalema, Swalala, Mshadza
Communal/tribal land
? Decentralized poultry production units with broiler inherited through the land and agrarian
reform program across the MLM jurisdiction, which will enter into Out-grower or Contract-
buying Schemes with the ADZ in the medium term
? Essential Oils cluster with a 100ha plantation and Distillation Factory in the short term to be
located at the farm Kaapscheblock a land Redistribution project under the Sibuyela
KaMajabula Trust adjacent Sandriver and Mahushu Communal land; project to undertake the
Out-grower or Contract-buying scheme/model in the medium term.
? Fisheries and piggeries cluster with units/houses and processing facilities to be located at the
farm described as Peebles 31 JU a land Restitution project under the Mbayane Community
Trust, adjacent Mganduzweni, Jerusalema, Swalala, Mshadza Communal/tribal land
? Nursery and Vegetables production and packaging facilities in the short term at the farm
described as Hermansburg a land Restitution project under the Endlovini Communal Property
Association adjacent Mataffin/old Airport
152
? Nursery and Vegetables production in the medium term to be located at the Daanjie,
Mpakeni, Luphisi, Spelanyane & Mahuhube Communal land to undertake Out-grower or
Contract-buying scheme/model
? Out-grower/Contract-buying schemes to be explored through provision of seedlings and
fertilizers/manure to explore Masibuyele Emasimini surplus production in the areas of grain(
maize, sunflower, soya) to complement the ADZ grain components of the Feed-mill/Granular
Plant( stock-piling perspective)
? The South African Poultry Association/Developing Poultry farmers Organization and the
South African Pork Producers Organization have pledged to inject human resources (poultry
and veterinary specialists) respectively to support the ADZ, with respective remunerations to
be procured through the poultry and pork levy respectively.
2. 11.3 Project Commissioning Phase
The ADZ project has been commissioned through the appointment of Professional Services Providers
to develop a detailed Business Development Plan (BDP) as a roadmap to inform the implementation
of the mixed farming model. The BDP will present a sound and a commercial business case, with the
final product to reflect:
a) Determinations on the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for the whole ADZ with regards to
acquisition of requisite infrastructure and assets; CAPEX to be financed through the
Department of Trade and Industry grants/incentives and soft loan funding
b) Determinations on the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for the whole ADZ with regards to
requisite recurrent/overhead costs to be incurred: OPEX to be financed through the MLM,
Development Finance Institutions (DBSA; IDC) and private equity conduits including
commercial banks
c) Determinations on the CAPEX for the requisite ADZ economic infrastructure requirements
and components (roads including access points to production units/facilities;
Energy/Electricity; Information and Communication Technology; Water; Sanitation), to be
financed through a joint Department of Trade and Industry Infrastructure Grant and
COGTA/DBSA/MLM Municipal Infrastructure Grant.
d) The Out-grower/Contract-buying scheme/model revitalization costs to be financed under the
DTI grants, and ADZ to retrieve 80% of live stock with 20% including mortality rates to be
reserved for poverty alleviation purposes sold at reasonable and affordable pricing structure
e) Determinations on the ADZ impact to the GGP/DGP ( rate and pace considerations)
f) Determinations on the ADZ employment intensity (rate and pace considerations on
sustainable and decent jobs).
g) Registration and formalization of a share equity company (Special Purpose Vehicle/SPV) to
develop best-use business practices on the business ownership and management model for
the ADZ not land ownership including infrastructure and assets which are under the nominal
ownership of government on behalf of the 10 Co-ops.
153
2. 11.4 Project De-commissioning Phase
It is the MLM considered opinion that the de-commissioning phase should commence prior end of
2014/15 Financial Year, with the initial commencement phases build around site establishment.
The other two pillars of the MLM Rural Development Strategy including possible crop or commodity
diversification models in particular citrus (lemon and navels) value chains to be initiated in the
immediate post-financial year end. Note that the DBSA has established a rural development
Department hence critical interactions and engagements will be forthcoming in the new fiscus year.
2.12 HUMAN SETTLEMENT AND LAND ADMINISTRATION
The municipality is faced with housing shortage or backlog. This problem has been exaggerated by
the lack of suitable land for residential development; shortage of serviced stands and inadequate
supply of housing subsidies by the Provincial Department of Human Settlements.
According to the Human Settlement Unit, the municipality is experiencing an estimated housing
backlog of 32 554 units. However, since 2009 new applicants were never taken as the national
government has introduced a new system of capturing applicants on the waiting list. The new waiting
list is now called National Demand Data Base [NDDB], which means that municipalities no longer own
such, but national would be controlling the process of allocation of units according to the database.
Accordingly, the waiting list would be phased out to allow the national demand database to its full
course in this financial year.
The municipality has developed a Housing Chapter which among other things highlights the housing
demand database or waiting list information for the entire municipality. The housing waiting list as per
the Housing Charter was prepared in consultation with the ward councillors, ward committee’s,
community development workers (CDW’s) as well as municipal officials, specifically from Human
Settlement Unit. Table 2.12 below indicates the housing waiting list per ward.

According to the above table, the total number of registered applicants on the waiting demand
database was 33 522 applicants, and 648 applicants have benefitted from the housing schemes.
The shortage of housing problem is also linked with the rapid population growth caused by the
migration of people in search of better job opportunities. The majority of these people come from the
two neighbouring rural municipalities such as Nkomazi Local Municipality and Bushbuckridge Local
Municipality. This has been exacerbated by the lack of a migration plan by the municipality, which the
municipality will prepare in the next financial year.
However, the municipality has identified suitable land for housing development around Mbombela,
Plaston, and White River. The suitable identified land is owned by the private sector, and the owners
have already made offers to the municipality. Hence the only challenge is funding. The municipality
has engaged other sister Departments to assist financially to acquire such land for integrated human
settlement.
Moreover, three (3) portions of land have been acquired by the Department of Human Settlements
and Rural development and Land reform. The properties will be used for the development of
integrated sustainable human settlement with full services. The properties include Casa da Lua (will
provide approximately 500 stands); White River (will provide approximately 400 stands) and
Maggiesdal (will provide approximately 800 stands). The municiapality has also identified Tekwane
North Extension 1 (will provide approximately 550 stands) and Matsulu Extension 6 (will provide
approximately 2500) for human settlement. All these properties have not been serviced as yet.
Currently the implementation of the housing projects is done by the Provincial Department of Human
Settlement and there is nothing that the municipality can do to fastract the delivery of houses.
Hovever, the municipality has applied for accreditation to administer all the housing related projects
and it is expected that the accreditation will assist the municipality in addressing its housing backlog.
In a bid to address the housing challenge, the municipality is in the process of drafting the Integrated
Housing Plan for the entire municipality. This will be done concurrently with the land audit, since it is
impossible to separate housing provision with land.
Moreover, the municipality has approved Alienation Policy that seeks to regulate the disposal and
acquisition of municipal land. The challenge is that the municipality does not have a Rapid Response
(Reaction Unit) Unit that is legislatively empowered to deal with illegal occupation immediately. The
newly established Law enforcement unit is not empowered to deal with such cases; they can only
accompany peace officers to deliver notices. It is important that the issue of the establishment of a
rapid response unit be investigated or the powers vested to the Law enforcement unit be revised in
order to deal with this matters urgently so.
2.13 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
The municipality is encountering the following challenges that have negative impact on the
environment:
? Destruction and pollution of wetlands;
? Illegal dumping/rubble dumping due to construction increasing as result of increasing
developments;
? Cleanliness of towns and unmanaged disposal sites;
? Illegal burials ( next to the streams or rivers)
155
? Illegal sand mining leaving the area un-rehabilitated
? Pollution of natural resources due to dilapidated / ageing sewage treatment networks;
? Air pollution as a result of emissions from some industries and high vehicle congestions on
the municipal roads.
? Climate change mitigating measures.
The municipality has a challenge of being exemplary in compliance with all environmental laws
especially in areas such as Water Works, Waste Treatment Works, and Solid Waste Disposal Sites
etc. Adherence to Environmental Management plans where soil excavations were conducted and
safe disposal of the remains after road constructions and any other structural developments. The
private sectors with interests in environmental management matters may not adhere to such laws.
The sensitive challenges identified on compliance with environmental laws are the construction of the
houses/industries in wetlands. The Section dealing with Environmental Management issues is having
one official. The size of the municipality requires at least seven officials at the minimum including the
Manager.
The municipality launched the Environmental Management Forum which comprises of both internal
and external stakeholders to address the environmental management programmes in a co-ordinated
and integrated manner. Various consultations were made with Communities to educate them on the
importance of wetlands. Working groups were formulated to represent the various zones.
The municipality will be reviewing the Environmental Management Framework in the 2014-2015
financial year in order to comply with environmental legislation. The framework will cover the
following:
? Environmental Management System
? The updated Environmental Management Policy
? Environmental Management by-laws
The municipality will also engage its communities to serve as watchdogs in identifinancial yearing the
environmental pollution. Council will through structured communication strive to ensure that
environmental pollution problems are identified early and addressed soon before they cause major
impact in the lives of flora and fauna as well as aquatic. The sporadic inspections will be conducted in
all corners of Mbombela boundaries. The availability of Environmental Science qualified Interns (while
the appointment of permanent officials is pending) will assist the department to ensure that regular
visits are conducted in all wards.
2.13.1 Environmental Education and awareness
The Environmental Management Section has realized the need to deal with environmental awareness
and education to create a platform for the experts to interact with the public to share any
environmental related matter for the purpose of learning and identifinancial yearing certain behavioral
trends from the side of the society. The strategy will be developed to ensure that the impact is felt
when the educational programmes are rolled out in the next financial years. The unit is encouraging
the public to participate in Adopt – a- spot initiatives. This means identification of the open space or
parks and making request to council to adopt the spot and green it. There are more than ten areas
adopted by the public and private sectors. All areas known to be unsafe and untidy are changing and
look green and safe as a result of adopt a spot initiative. Council is currently striving to mainstream
the waste minimization and recycling programmes to ensure that less waste reaches the landfill site.
The interested parties will through Local Economic Development concept be engaged and be guided
to follow proper legislative requirements while participating in recycling of waste in different forms.
156
Waste recycling has now become legislated in terms of National Environmental: Waste Act 59 of
2008. The environmental awareness and education programme strategy will be developed annually to
highlight all awareness programmes for the entire year. The programme will cover the community and
schools participation. The world calendar dates for the environmental programmes will be observed
such World Environmental Day (June month) etc.
2.13.2 Air quality management
Mbombela embarked on the sampling programme to detect the level of pollution in the ambient air;
this study will assist the National Department of Environmental Affairs to categorize the municipality
according to its level of exposure as far as air pollution is concerned. The six months results obtained
have depicted that the level of pollution is not exceeding those areas that are heavily polluted such as
Secunda. Concurrently council will develop its Air Quality Plan as required by National Environment:
Air Quality Act 2004. It will form part of the sector plans for the IDP in future. During the awareness
and education campaign the public is taught on the need to protect the environment by not burning
waste reduce dust by sprinkling the ground with water before sweeping. The unnecessary burning of
the land is totally discouraged in Mbombela. Any intentions to burn the dried grass need to be
communicated with the Fire and Rescue Services for control purposes. The continuous education
programmes on the radio and provision of pamphlets will make the society change their mindset and
stop burning waste or wood without any apparent reasons. The sister Municipality, Ehlanzeni District
Municipality is currently conducting the sampling programme to detect the level of pollutants emitted
by specific industries and provide advice where necessary. There is good relationship between
Mbombela and Ehlanzeni District Municipality (EDM) on matters of Air Quality legislative
requirements. The EDM have embarked on the Section 78 Feasibility study regarding the air quality
management matters. Mbombela is participating in the Air Quality Forums for the sharing of
knowledge and skills. In future there will be council air quality management plan and implementation
plans to deal with problems identified. It will link with Climate change mitigating measures strategies
for Mbombela.
2.14 EXPANDED PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME (EPWP)
Expanded Public Works programme (EPWP) is a nationwide programme covering all spheres of
government and state owned enterprises. It originates in the Growth and Development Summit 2003.
It aims to draw significant numbers of unemployed, unskilled people into productive work so that they
increase their capacity to earn an income It further serves as an opportunity to address social welfare
gap. It was launched in April 2004 to promote economic growth and create sustainable development.
The EPWP Phase 1 was to help alleviate unemployment by creating at least work opportunity, of
which 40% of beneficiaries will be women, 30% youth and 2% people with disabilities. The EPWP
Phase 2 aims at creating 2million Full Time Equivalent (FTE) jobs for poor and unemployed people in
South Africa so as to contribute to halving unemployment by 2014, through the delivery of public and
community services. Drawing on the success and lessons of this programme over the past five years,
R4 billion is added to this programme to incentivise the creation of long term more stable employment
in the province, municipalities and non- governmental organisations.
Mbombela has already committed itself to participate in EPWP by signing the declaration (March
2011). All the IDP capital projects will be registered under EPWP and will be reported accordingly to
the department of Public Works .The reporting model is available in the system and is user friendly.
The unit coordinating the EPWP projects will in collaboration with IDP office ensure that all IDP
projects indicate the estimated number of jobs to be created to ensure that EPWP projects are
157
properly coordinated and the reporting of jobs created improved. The prescripts of the EPWP policy
will be implemented for compliance with all National EPWP policy guidelines. The policy is clear on
the number of jobs to be created; this approach will serve as a tool for council to monitor itself against
the national targets.
All EPWP officials will offer the accredited Training programme to enable them to acquire skills which
will help them when they look for permanent jobs elsewhere. Every Friday the Political Principals
(Councillors) will visit the projects in all Planning areas. This day will be declared as EPWP Friday.
The deployment of EPWP beneficiaries in all corners of Mbombela will make the Mbombela City with
its small towns clean and health.
The EPWP Phase 2 term expires on the 31
st
of March 2014 and Phase 3 will start from 1
st
April 2014
until 31
st
March 2019 (five year National Programme). During the road show on awareness and
education for the EPWP Phase 3 it was learnt that municipalities will have to adhere to the DORA
(Division of Revenue Act) in terms of grant allocation and account on the actual grant expenditure.
The EPWP Unit in collaboration with the Department of Finance will ensure that the reporting of
EPWP jobs and expenditure thereof is done according to Public Finance Management Act 1999 and
Municipal Finance Management Act 2003. The implementation of the Municipal EPWP Policy will be
intensified to ensure that all jobs created are reported including the personal details of the
beneficiaries. Quarterly meetings will be held with all Departmental EPWP Patrons to improve on the
reporting of jobs to the National Department of Public Works. Business plans will be required from all
departments indicating the manner in which intensive labour will be utilised.

CHAPTER 5
FINANCI AL PLAN (2014-2017)
_________________________________________________________________________________
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The 2015/2016 – 2017/2018 draft budget and medium-term revenue and expenditure framework
(MTREF) was prepared based on the fundamentals of the municipal developmental priorities
tabulated on the Integrated Development Plan. The following are the municipal developmental
priorities which the budget should be responding to in terms of prioritisation and allocation of funds
and resources;
(a) Water supply;
(b) Road infrastructure development and storm water;
(c) Electricity supply and management;
(d) Integrated human settlement;
(e) Good governance and public participation;
(f) Sanitation;
(g) Community development;
(h) Rural development;
(i) Economic development;
(j) Waste and environment management;
(k) Financial management and viability;
(l) Public transport;
(m) Revenue enhancement; and
2010 legacy.
The guidelines and assumptions in accordance with the Municipal Finance Management Act and its
Regulations and Circulars as well as other relevant legislations have also been taken into
consideration, including the prevalent macro and internal environment factors.
The 2015/2016 draft budget is prepared in the midst of the implementation of the turnaround strategy
approved by the municipal council on 21 August 2014, under item A(3). The turnaround strategy is
implemented in order to address in the following key matters which impact negatively on the
administrative and operational capacity of the municipality;
(e) Financial Management – comprising of matters of revenue enhancement, cost curtailment,
fleet management, supply chain management and clean audit roadmap.
(f) Service Delivery – comprising of acceleration of spending on capital projects, water supply
interventions, waste management and cleanliness, repairs and maintenance of the municipal
infrastructure.
(g) Governance and Institutional Development – comprising of filling of critical vacant positions,
risk management, performance monitoring and evaluation, internal audit, system of delegations of
powers and functions, ICT governance etc.
(h) Social and Economic Development – comprising of local economic development strategy,
rural development, spatial planning, integrated human settlement etc.
168
The aforementioned matters formed the basis of the following budget objectives over the medium-
term;
(g) To manage risks associated with unstable financial position, underperformance on service
delivery, address governance and institutional development challenges;
(h) To improve financial performance and sustainability over the long term;
(i) To ensure the citizens of the municipality are provided with acceptable levels of services;
(j) To maintain the existing assets and infrastructure base by ensuring adequate repairs and
maintenance is undertaken;
(k) To achieve a clean audit outcome.
(l) To enable local economic development initiatives and sustainable employment creation.
The municipality has started addressing the challenges that have been affecting the performance of
the municipality in the previous financial year in the 2014/2015 financial year with the implementation
of the turnaround strategy. The preparation of the 2015/2016 draft budget takes cognizance of the
fact that the municipality is in the midst of the implementation of the turnaround strategy and should
these factors continuously addressed as per the turnaround strategy, the aforementioned objectives
of the budget will not be achieved.
.
5. 2 MACRO ENVIRONMENT FACTORS – ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
From a macro environment perspective, the economic performance over the medium-term looks bleak
as a slow economic growth trends has been forecasted and the reflections of this unfavourable
economic growth condition will impact negatively on all spheres of government. The revenue base of
the municipality will be under pressure as no new revenues will be derived at the moment due to the
slow economic growth and local circumstances.
As a consequence of the distress economy a conservative approach will need to be adopted when
projections are made for expected revenues cash receipts in the next medium-term.
On the expenditure side - careful analysis and evaluation of the current spending patterns need to be
conducted so that the allocation of funds in the next medium-term is in line with the key municipal
priorities and non-priority spending is eliminated (austerity measures need to be implemented).
The South African economic growth outlook measured in terms of real Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) in 2014 to 2018 is expected to be as follows;
Description 2014

Real GDP 2.2% 1.4% 2.0% 2.4% 3.0%
The consumer price inflation is expected to stay within the 3 to 6 per cent inflation target set by the
South African Reserve Bank over the medium-term. The national economic growth will be under
pressure and as the economy will be growing on an average of 2.5 per cent over the medium-term
which is far less than the annual national economic growth target of 5 to 7 per cent set by the National
Development Plan. The slow economic growth impacts negatively on the reduction of poverty,
inequality and unemployment.

(b) Revising of rates, tariffs and other charges
The revision of the rates, tariffs and other charges for the 2015/2016 budgets and MTREF should take
into account the labour (i.e. the wage agreements with unions) and other input costs of services
provided by the municipality, the need to ensure financial sustainability, local economic conditions and
the affordability of services, taking into consideration the municipality’s indigent policy.
National Treasury continues to encourage municipalities to keep increases in rates, tariffs and other
charges at levels that reflect an appropriate balance between the interests of poor households, other
customers and ensuring the financial sustainability of the municipality.
To ensure the municipality continue to efficiently deliver services, eradicate backlogs in term of
services and social infrastructure, maintain, upgrade and renewal of the existing infrastructure as well
as ensuring financial stability and long-term sustainability, the increase of rates, tariffs and other
charges over the medium-term is proposed to be as follows;

The above table reflects that the average increase on rates and service charge tariffs for 2015/2016 in
the municipality serviced areas will be 9.24 per cent and 9.06 per cent over the medium-term.
Sembcorp tariffs increase is determined in accordance with tariff model stipulated on the Service
Agreement Three (3) which takes the current consumer price indexes (CPI) per commodity plus a
margin of 3% and other economic factors into account.
The municipality should ensure the revision of its electricity tariffs is in line with the National Energy
Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) guidelines of 12.20 per cent increase in 2015/2016. The recent
reapplication by Eskom to have an additional electricity tariff increase of 12.31 per cent in 2015/2016
in addition to the 12.69 per cent approved by Nersa poses a serious financial risk to the municipality.
In ensuring the municipal tariffs and fees for services are cost reflective, the following processes will
be conducted by the municipality;
? The water and sanitation tariffs and fees which are cost-reflective (A new water and sanitation
cost structure based on the activity based costing system) will be implemented in 2015/2016
resulting in an increase of water tariffs by an average of 36 per cent over the medium-term and
decrease in sanitation tariffs by an average of 18 per cent over the next five (5) years.
? The electricity cost structure will be reviewed utilising the activity based costing system and the
revised cost structure and cost reflective tariffs will be implemented in 2016/2017.
? The solid waste cost-reflective tariffs will be implemented in 2016/2017 when a new solid waste
cost structure based on the activity based costing system is implemented.
? The Licensing function will be subjected to a cost structure review by 30 July 2015 and the
agency agreement with the Provincial Department of Safety and Security will be reviewed in
order to recovery the full cost of the rendering the services on behalf of the Department through
the agency fees.

loans (borrowings) and internal reserves. No new external loans (borrowings) will be sourced during
the medium-term. The borrowings funding source in 2014/2015 will be a portion of the external loan
of R160 million taken in October 2013.

CHAPTER 6
PERFORMANCE MONITORI NG AND EVALUATION
_________________________________________________________________________
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Performance Monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) provides decision makers with the ability to draw on
causal linkages between the choice of policy priorities, resourcing, programmes, the services actually
delivered and the ultimate impact on communities. PM&E provides answers to the “so what” question,
thus addressing the accountability concerns of stakeholders and give public sector managers
information on progress toward achieving stated targets and goals. It also provides substantial
evidence as the basis for any necessary corrections in policies, programmes, or projects. Its main aim
is to help improve performance and achieve the desired results, by measuring and assessing
performance in order to more effectively manage the outcomes and associated outputs known as
development results.
Section 19 (1) of the Municipal Structures Act states that a municipal council must strive within its
capacity to achieve the objectives set out in Section 152 of the Constitution. Section 19 (2) of the
same Act stipulates that a municipal council must annually review its overall performance in achieving
the objectives referred to in subsection 19(1). The Performance Management System (PMS) is one of
the mechanisms through which Mbombela aims to improve organisational and individual performance
to enhance service delivery. The performance management framework for Mbombela comprises of
two components, namely:
? Organisational Performance Management and
? Individual Performance Management for Section 57 employees
The Organisational PMS is a tool used to measure the performance of the municipality with regard to
development priorities and objectives outlined in the IDP. Once the municipality starts to implement its
IDP, it is important to monitor that:
? the delivery is happening as planned in the SDBIP;
? the municipality is using its resources most efficiently;
? it is producing the quality of delivery envisaged;
The PMS Framework is currently being reviewed, Mbombela Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
(PMS will be part of the Framework) will be produced to ensure that the following areas are
addressed through monitoring:
? Early warning reports are produced;
? Quarterly analysis reports are produced;
? Municipal Evaluations plan is developed;
? Evaluations are conducted;
? Projects verification is conducted;
? Excelent Awards are awarded to the best performing Department/ section.
181
6.2 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Legislation that governs performance management in local government includes Local Government:
Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000), Local Government: Municipal Planning and
Performance Management Regulations, 2001, Local Government: Municipal Finance Management
Act 53 of 2003 and Local Government: Municipal Performance Regulations for Municipal Managers
and Managers Directly Accountable to Municipal Managers, 2006, Provincial Monitoring and
Evaluation Framework 2009, National Evaluation Policy 2011.
6.2.1 Municipal Systems Act, 2000 ( Act 32 of 2000)
Chapter 6 of the MSA requires all municipalities to promote a culture of performance through the
following:
? Developing a performance management system;
? Setting targets, monitor and review performance based on indicators linked to the IDP;
? Publish an annual report on performance management for the Councilors, staff, the public
and other spheres of government;
? Incorporate and report on a set of general indicators prescribed nationally by the Minister
responsible for Local Government;
? Conduct an internal audit on performance before tabling the report;
? Have the annual performance report audited by the Auditor-General;
? Involve the community in setting indicators and targets and reviewing municipal performance.
6.2.2 Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations, 2001
(MPPMR)
The MPPMR, published by the then Department of Provincial and Local Government (DPLG), which
requires a municipality to ensure that its PMS complies with the requirements of the MSA,
demonstrate the operation and management of the PMS; clarifinancial year roles and responsibilities,
as well as ensure alignment with employee performance management and the IDP processes.
6.2.3 Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 ( Act 56 of 2003)
The MFMA requires a municipality to develop a Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan
(SDBIP) based on specific targets and performance indicators derived from the IDP, thus linking the
IDP, the performance management system and the budget. Section 67 of the MSA regards the
monitoring, measuring and evaluating of performance of staff as a platform to develop human
resources and to develop an efficient and effective culture. The MFMA further requires the Mayor to
ensure that the performance agreements of Section 57 employees comply with the requirements of
the MSA to promote sound financial management and are linked to measurable performance
objectives, approved with the budget and included in the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation
Plan (SDBIP).
182
6.2.4 Local Government: Municipal Performance Regulations for Municipal
Managers and Managers Directly Accountable to Municipal Managers, 2006
The then DPLG now Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, in August 2006, promulgated
Regulations for Section 57 Managers on how the performance of municipal managers, should prepare
reports, review, improve and reward performance. The regulations provide for the conclusion of
performance agreements and personal development plans.
6.2.5 Implementation and Reporting on the Organisational Performance
Management System
The PMS is a tool that reflects the level of the implementation of Mbombela IDP and the role played
by individual staff members in the process. It involves the translation of the IDP and sector plans, into
the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP). The SDBIP further translate the IDP
into the municipal or corporate score cards with quarterly targets. The Municipal Manager is the
custodian of the SDBIP Score Cards and agrees with the Executive Mayor, as representative of the
Employer, on the delivery aspects of the scorecard.
6.2.6 Provincial Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
The Provincial M&E Framework is a guiding document to ensure that all public institutions in the
province develop M&E Framework and establish M&E Units that will monitor the performance of the
institution and produce early warning reports.
6.2.7 National Evaluation Policy Framework: November 2011
The Policy Framework seeks to:
? Foreground the importance of Evaluation;
? Provide for an institutionalised system across government linking to planning and budget;
? Provide common language and conceptual base for evaluation in government;
? Indicate clear roles and responsibilities related to evaluations;
? Improve the quality of evaluations;
? Ensure the utilisation of evaluation findings to improve performance.
The purpose underlying is:
? Improving policy programme performance, providing feedback to managers;
? Improving accountability for where public spending is going and the difference it is making;
? Improving decision-making, e.g. on what is working or not working;
? Increasing knowledge about what works and what does not with regards to a public policy, plan,
programme, or project.
6.3 ROLE PLAYERS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
The roles players that manage the performance management system of MLM include the following:
183
6.3.1 Internal Audit
The Internal Audit Services plays an internal performance auditing role, which includes monitoring the
functioning of the PMS and compliance to legislative requirements. Its role is also to assist the
municipality in validating the evidence provided by the General Managers in support of their
performance achievements.
6.3.2 Performance Audit Committee
The committee monitors the quality and integrity of the Performance Management System, to ensure
equity and consistency in the application of evaluation norms and standards. The committee further
provides impartial recommendations on performance ratings to the Mayoral Committee, following the
completion of objective appraisals.
6.3.3 Evaluation Panel
The Evaluation Panel evaluates the performance of Section 57 employees, including the Municipal
Manager’s performance, through approval of their final performance ratings.
6.3.4 Executive Mayor and Members of the Mayoral Committee
The Executive Mayor and the Members of the Mayoral Committee manage the development of the
municipal PMS and oversee the performance of the Municipal Manager and the General Managers.
6.3.5 Council and Section 79 Committees
Section 79 Committees play an oversight role and consider reports from Council on the functioning of
different portfolios and the impact on the overall objectives and performance of the municipality.
6.3.6 Community
The community plays a role in the PMS through the annual IDP consultation processes, which are
managed by the Office of the Speaker, working in close collaboration with the IDP and Public
Participation Unit.
6.4 REPORTS
The legislative framework requires that the municipality should develop reports on particular intervals
that must submit to various institutions for validation and monitoring. The table below outlines a
summary of the reports that have been developed in MLM.
Report Type Description
Monthly reports Section 71 of the MFMA requires that reports be prepared. A financial report is prepared based on
municipal programmes and projects.
Quarterly IDP and
SDBIP reporting
The SDBIP is a key management, implementation and monitoring tool, which provides operational
content to the end-of-year service delivery targets, set in the budget and IDP. It determines the
performance agreements for the municipal
184
Report Type Description
Manager, Top Managers and other levels of staff, whose performance can then be monitored
through Section 71 monthly reports, and evaluated through the annual report process.
The SDBIP information on revenue will be monitored and reported monthly by the Municipal
Manager in terms of Section 71(1) (a) and (e). For example, if there is lower than anticipated
revenue and an overall cash shortage in a particular month the municipality may have to revise its
spending downwards to ensure that it does not borrow more than anticipated. More importantly,
such information requires the municipality to take urgent remedial steps to ensure it improves on
its revenue collection capacity if the municipality wants to maintain its levels of service delivery
and expenditure.
Section 1 of the MFMA states that the SDBIPs a detailed plan approved by the Mayor of a
municipality in terms of service delivery should make projections for each month of the revenue to
be collected, by source, as well as the operational and capital expenditure, by vote. The service
delivery targets and performance indicators need to be reported on quarterly (MFMA, 2003).
Mid-year budget and
CGTA report
Section 72 of the MFMA requires the Accounting Officer to prepare and submit a report on the
performance of the municipality during the first half of the financial year. The report must be
submitted to the mayor, National Treasury as well as the relevant Provincial Treasury and CGTA.
As with all other reports this is a crucial report for the Council to consider mid-year performance
and what adjustments should be made, if necessary.
Annual Performance
report (Section 46)
Section 46 of the MSA states that a municipality must prepare for each financial year, a
performance report that reflects the following:
? The performance of the municipality and of each external service provided during that
financial year;
? A comparison of the performances referred to in the above paragraph with targets set
for and performances in the previous financial year; and
? Measures to be taken to improve on the performance.
The performance report must be submitted at the end of the financial year and will be made public
as part of the annual report in terms of Chapter 12 of the MFMA.
The publication thereof will also afford the public the opportunity to judge the performance of the
municipality against the targets set in the various planning instruments.
Annual report Every municipality and every municipal entity under the municipality’s control is
required by Section 121 to prepare an annual report for each financial year, which
must include:
? the annual financial statements of the municipality or municipal entity as
? submitted to the Auditor-General for audit (and, if applicable, consolidated annual
financial statements);
? the Auditor-General’s audit report on the financial statements;
? an assessment by the Accounting Officer of any arrears on municipal taxes
? and service charges;
? particulars of any corrective action taken or to be taken in response to issues raised in
the audit reports;
? any explanations that may be necessary to clarifinancial year issues in connection with
the financial statements;
? any information as determined by the municipality, or, in the case of a
185
Report Type Description
? municipal entity, the entity or its parent municipality;
? any recommendations of the municipality’s audit committee, or, in the case of a
municipal entity, the audit committee of the entity or of its parent municipality;
? an assessment by the Accounting Officer of the municipality’s performance against the
measurable performance objectives for revenue collection and for each vote in the
municipality’s approved budget for the relevant financial year;
? an assessment by the Accounting Officer of the municipality’s performance against any
measurable performance objectives set in terms the service delivery agreement or other
agreement between the entity and its parent municipality;
? the annual performance report prepared by a municipality;
? Any other information as may be prescribed.
Section 127 prescribes the submission and tabling of annual reports. This section also gives
provision for the following:
1. The Accounting Officer of a municipal entity must, within six months after the end of a
financial year, submit the entity’s annual report for that financial year to the Municipal
Manager of its parent municipality;
2. The Mayor of a municipality must, within seven months after the end of a financial year,
table in the municipal council the annual report of the municipality and of any municipal
entity under the municipality’s sole or shared control;
3. If the Mayor, for whatever reason, is unable to table in the council the annual report of
the municipality, or the annual report of any municipal entity under the municipality’s
sole or shared control, within seven months after the end of the financial year to which
the report relates, the mayor must:
a. submit to the Council a written explanation setting out the reasons for
the delay, together with any components of the annual report that are
ready;
b. submit to the Council the outstanding annual report or the outstanding components of
the annual report as soon as may be possible.
Oversight report The Council of a municipality must consider the municipality’s annual report (and
that of any municipal entity under the municipality’s control), and in terms of
Section 129, within two months from the date of tabling of the annual report, must adopt an
oversight report containing the Council’s comments, which must include a statement whether the
Council:
a) has approved the annual report with or without reservations;
b) has rejected the annual report; or
c) has referred the annual report back for revision of those components that can be
revised.
In terms of Section 132, the following documents must be submitted by the
Accounting Officer to the provincial legislature within seven days after the
municipal council has adopted the relevant oversight report:
a) the annual report (or any components thereof) of each municipality and
each municipal entity in the province; and
b) all oversight reports adopted on those annual reports. It is important to note that the
Oversight Committee working with these reports should be chaired by the opposition
party.
186
6.5 CONCLUSION
The performance management system is links both the organisational and individual performance
management to ensure that there is seamless integration with the performance of the municipality and
performance of section 57 Managers.

FOREWORD BY THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR
_____________________________________________
On behalf of the Municipal Council of Mbombela Local Municipality it
is my pleasure to hereby present the reviewed 2015/16 Integrated
Development Plan (IDP). The 2015/16 financial year is the last
financial year of the 2011-2016 term of local government sphere,
therefore it present a unique opportunity to close the current political
term whilst it seamlessly lay basis for the next term of local
government.
The reviewed 2015/16 IDP is responding to the call made by the
Honourable President J. Zuma through the Back to Basics
programme launched on 18 September 2014 at the Presidential Local Government Summit. A clarion
call was made to the local government sector to promote good governance and effective
administration through cutting wastage, spending public funds prudently, hiring competent staff, and
ensure transparency and accountability in municipalities.
The 2015/16 IDP reflects the will to continue with the implementation of the turnaround strategy
approved by the municipal council on 21 August 2014. The turnaround strategy is implemented as an
intervention to address the following key challenges which impact negatively on the administrative
and operational capacity of the municipality:
(a) Financial Management – comprising of matters of revenue enhancement, cost curtailment,
fleet management, supply chain management and clean audit roadmap.
(b) Service Delivery – comprising of acceleration of spending on capital projects, water supply
interventions, waste management and cleanliness, repairs and maintenance of the municipal
infrastructure.
(c) Governance and Institutional Development – comprising of filling of critical vacant positions,
risk management, performance monitoring and evaluation, internal audit, system of delegations
of powers and functions, ICT governance etc.
(d) Social and Economic Development – comprising of local economic development strategy,
rural development, spatial planning, integrated human settlement etc.
The allocation of the capital budget per IDP priorities is as follows over the medium-term;
1. The water supply programmes and projects has been allocated 42 per cent amounting to
R738 million with R224 million allocated for 2015/2016.
2. The roads and storm water management programmes and projects have been allocated 17
per cent amounting to R301 million with R125 million allocated for 2015/2016.
3. The public transport programmes and projects have been allocated 14 per cent amounting to
R240 million with R77 million allocated for 2015/2016.
4. The economic development programmes and projects have been allocated 6 per cent
amounting to R108 million with R25 million allocated for 2015/2016.
5. The community development programmes and projects have been allocated 4 per cent
amounting to R76 million with R26 million allocated for 2015/2016.
The IDP bears testimony that the eradication of backlog to water supply remains the number one
priority hence the allocation of capital budget is bias towards the implementation of bulk infrastructure
11
water projects as well as reticulation infrastructure in some portions of the municipal areas. Central to
the IDP strategic thrust is the need to improve quality of life for the vulnerable communities in the
municipality. Evident to that, the objectives set include ensuring that the indigent households have
access to basic services. As a result municipality will continue to provide free basic services on water,
electricity and sewerage and grant subsidies at a cost of R150 million in 2015/2016 and 12 178
households will be provided with free basic electricity and 121 000 households will be provided with
free basic water.
Similarly, the implementation of the storm water management capital budget will result in nineteen
(19) kilometres gravel roads being upgraded to tarred roads. The construction and tarring of Daantjie
Cemetery road at ward 2 will be completed in 2015/2016 at a cost R49 million.
The municipality appreciates the strategic programmes and projects that will be implemented in the
municipal area prioritised by the Mpumalanga Provincial Government as outlined by the Honourable
Premier, Mr DD Mabuza in his State of the Province Address for 2015, namely:
1. The establishment of the Mpumalanga International Fresh Produce Market to support
agricultural production and create a logistics platform for the export of our fresh produce to
international markets.
2. The construction of strategic dams to increase the availability of water supply for
development.
3. The construction of the Cultural Hub to ensure opportunities for private sector investment are
explored.
4. The establishment of the International Convention Centre.
In conclusion, the IDP and Budget is based on an extensive consultation process in compliance with
the legislative framework. Through the public participation and consultative process we have received
valuable inputs and comments from members of public and stakeholders. The highlights of the public
participation and consultative process are as follows:
? Through your leadership Honourable Speaker, five zonal meetings were held with local
communities from 21 April 2015 and 06 May 2015, and furthermore a consultation meeting
was held on 05 May 2015 with organised stakeholders namely; Business Sector (KLBCT and
NAFCOC), farmers and ratepayers associations etc.
? The Traditional Leaders were consulted on an individual basis by the Office of Speaker from 23
April 2015 until 15 May 2015.
The inputs and comments received during this engagement process includes, amongst others issues
relating to water supply, roads & storm water, electricity, housing, waste management, sanitation and
others. All the inputs or comments were recorded and addressed accordingly. The issues that could
not be implemented or accommodated in the 2015-2016 financial year will be prioritized in the future
depending on the availability of funding. However, operational issues which does not require funding
will be addressed in consultation with relevant Ward Councillors, and those that are within the
competence of provincial departments will be forwarded to the relevant sector departments.
In light of the above, I hereby present the 2015/16 IDP as approved by the Council on 28 May 2015.

MESSAGE BY THE MUNICIPAL MANAGER
____________________________________________
The 2015/16 Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and Budget
have been approved by the Municipal Council on the 28
th
of
May 2015 in compliance with the legislative obligations. The
process of preparing the strategic documents (IDP and Budget)
was validated by the approval by the Municipal Council of the
2015/2016 IDP, Budget, Risk Management and Performance
Management Process Plan in August 2014. This process plan
has been used as a roadmap to navigate the journey to arrive to
last day of tabling the IDP and Budget. Central to the process is
the extensive public consultation process which meant that the
municipality spent six months from September 2014 until March
2015, conducting public participation and consultative processes both internally and externally so that
all inputs and priorities of the citizens of the municipality are catered for on the revised IDP which
formed the basis for the process of the preparation of this budget.
Following the adoption of the Draft IDP and Budget on 30
th
March 2015, as required in terms of the
legislative and regulatory framework, the public participation and consultative process was conducted
subsequently, from 13 April until 15 May 2015.
As part of the consultative process, the municipality also had an engagement exercise with the
National Treasury on 19 May 2015 with regard to the 2015/2016 adopted draft IDP and Budget. The
engagement exercise was conducted with the objective of assessing the credibility of adopted
2015/2016 draft revised IDP and budget. The adopted draft budget was found to be funded with risks
and National Treasury identified the following risks which need to be addressed by the municipality:
? Insufficient measures to collect outstanding debts.
? Unsustainability of cash flow projections due to outstanding debts insufficient collection.
? Timeous payment of creditors, especially Eskom, Water Boards etc.
? Lack of cash backed reserves for funding of capital programmes, future costs of rehabilitation
of landfill sites, employee retirement benefits etc.
? Inefficiency on the utilization of employees resulting in above the norm on incurring of
overtime expenditure and contracted services.
In anticipation of all of the issues raised by the National Treasury fortunately, the municipality has
approved the twelve (12) point plan approved by the municipal council on 31 March 2015. The 12
Point Plan is adequate in addressing the issues raised however there is a need to monitor the
implementation of the plan on a monthly basis to ensure successful mediation of the risk raised by the
National Treasury.
As part of the turnaround plan approved by the Municipal Council in August 2014, the focus of the
2015/16 financial year is on forward planning for the capital projects anchored on stringent measures
set in the procurement plan. The intention is ensure improved capital expenditure so that all capital
grants allocated to the municipality are utilized without failure across all municipal functions. Linked to
this will be a very strict monitoring of the approved procurement plan on monthly basis.
15
With regard to the excessive overtime and the need to improve management of employees, the
municipality has started with the process of turning around the situation by conducting a forensic
report on excessive overtime. During the 2015/16 financial year, the municipality will be implementing
recommendations of the report on excessive overtime. Central to this is the need to introduce new
measures and internal control that complies with the set regulatory and legislative framework for
overtime.
In conclusion the aforementioned matters formed the basis of the following IDP/ Budget objectives
over the medium-term:
(a) To manage risks associated with unstable financial position, underperformance on service
delivery, address governance and institutional development challenges;
(b) To improve financial performance and sustainability over the long term;
(c) To ensure the citizens of the municipality are provided with acceptable levels of services;
(d) To maintain the existing assets and infrastructure base by ensuring adequate repairs and
maintenance is undertaken;
(e) To enable local economic development initiatives and sustainable employment creation.
(f) Achievement of the clean audit outcome.

NM SEANEGO

CHAPTER 1
AN OVERVIEW OF THE I DP PROCESS
_________________________________________________________________________________
1.1 INTRODUCTION
It is required in terms of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) that municipalities must
develop a five (5) year strategic planning document popularly known as Integrated Development Plan
(Municipal Systems Act, 2000).
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is a process through which the municipality conducts a
comprehensive analysis of the community needs and subsequently prioritises available resources to
address those needs. The process seek to ensure vertical and horizontal integration between the
municipal planned intervention with the planning efforts of national and provincial spheres of
government as well as within the various sectors of government.
The municipality, like any other municipality in the country, continuously faces challenges of service
delivery backlog, capital funding as well as institutional capacity problems. Its ability to provide the key
infrastructure to achieve sustainable and shared economic growth is therefore at the heart of the IDP
and is underpinned by a series of sector plans that have been prepared in recent years and some that
needs to be prepared. The sector plans include the long term plan (vision 2030), Spatial
Development Framework, Local Economic Development Strategy, and an Integrated Waste
Management Plan, Water Services Development Plan, an Integrated Transport Plan and the
Environmental Management Plan amongst others.
The final 2015-2016 IDP review has been developed in accordance with the community priorities,
provincial and national priorities. The document (IDP) is in line with the Medium Term Revenue and
Expenditure Framework (MTREF) which is a three year projection of both revenue and expenditure.
1.2 THE SCOPE OF THE IDP
The 2015-2016 IDP comprise of seven (7) interrelated chapters that are mandatory for a credible IDP,
in terms of the process followed, actual format and layout, and the content.
The first chapter provides an introductory overview of the process followed whilst the second chapter
outlines the municipal development profile in terms of the institutional and external environmental
scan. The third chapter is an outline of the key development objectives and strategies that the
municipality will implement to achieve its legistlative obligations.
The fourth chapter provides a brief summary of the Auditor-General (AG) and MEC for Department of
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) findings, and subsequent remedial
measures taken to address the findings in compliance with statutory obligations. The fifth chapter is
the financial plan of the municipaliy over the next Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure
Framework. The sixth chapter provides an outline of the performance management framework that
guides how the municipality will monitor the progress made towards the achievement of the set
targets. The last chapter (chapter seven) provides a comprehensive overview of the planned projects
over the medium term period as well as projects planned by national or provincial sector departments
as well as by the State Owned Enterprises like ESKOM.

1. 3 THE IDP PROCESS FOLLOWED
The following process was followed during the development of the 2015-2016 IDP Review:
1.3.1 Preparation Phase
On 21 August 2014, Council under item A (4) approved the process plan which outlined the process
followed in the development of the 2015-2016 IDP review. The process plan outlined the legislative
framework, organizational structures responsible for the management of the IDP processes,
mechanisms of community participation and the key deadlines of the activities that are led to the
approval of the IDP Review.
It is important to note that the process plan was prepared in compliance with the Ehlanzeni District
Municipality IDP Framework Plan as required in terms of section 27 of the Municipal Systems Act, No.
32 of 2000.
The process plan was presented to Ward Councillors, Ward Committees and Community
Development Workers (CDW) for notification and information purposes.
The approved process plan was circulated to the sector departments, advertised on the Lowelder
newpaper dated 26 August 2014 and placed on the municipal website.
1.3.2 Analysis Phase
The analysis phase involved the performance assessment of 2014-2015 IDP, the municipal level of
development and service delivery backlogs.
Key strategic documents such as IDP, Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP),
Mid-year performance, Budget and Annual Report were used to assess the performance of the
municipality. As a result, a municipal performance report was developed to guide the development of
the 2015-2016 IDP.
As per the approved IDP process plan, a schedule of the IDP consultative meetings was developed in
consultation with Ward Councillors. The schedule was advertised on the Lowvelder newspaper dated
3 October 2014 and Ziwaphi of 3 October 2014. It was also placed on the municipal website and in all
the municipal service centres i.e Mbombela Civic Centre, White River Civic Centre, Hazyview Civic
Centre, Kabokweni Civic Centre, Kanyamazane Civic Centre and Matsulu Civic Centre. The
communities were mobilised to attend the IDP consultative meetings. Refer to 1.4.1 below for the
issues raised during consultative meetings.
1.3.3 Strategy Phase
Technical strategic planning sessions were held on 8,19 and 22 December 2014 to refine and confirm
the municipal strategic objectives and priorities for 2015-2016 IDP based on previous (2013-2014 &
2014-2015 financial year), mid year performance (2014-2015 financial year) and community priorities.
On 4 to 6 March 2015, the municipality held the Mayoral Lekgotla to afford the political leadership an
opportunity to consider the Technical Lekgotla proposed strategic objectives and priorities for 2015-
2016. The lekgotla which was attended by Executive, Mayor, Chief Whip, MMCs (political office
bearers), Chairpersons of Section 79 Oversight Committees, Municipal Manager, General Managers
and Senior Managers re-affirmed the existing IDP development priorities as priorities for 2015-2016
financial year. The affirmed priorities are water supply, road infrastructure development and storm
water, electricity supply and management, integrated human settlement, good governance and public
18
participation, sanitation/sewerage, community development, rural development, economic
development, waste management and greening, financial management and viability, public transport
and 2010 legacy and revenue enhancement.
During the lekgotla (Mayoral), it was agreed that priority must be given to the service delivery projects
that were not completed in the previous financial years.
1.3.4 Project Phase
The Mayoral Lekgotla that was held on 4-6 March 2015 identified programmes and projects that must
be included in the 2015-2016 IDP.
1.3.5 Integration Phase
During the finalisation of IDP projects, the municipality considered programmes from sector
departments and other governmental parastatals such as ESKOM, and the projects have been
included in Chapter 6 of this IDP.
1.3.6 Approval Phase
The draft 2015-2016 IDP was adopted by Council on 28 March 2014 and made available to the public
for written representations or inputs in terms of section 21A & B of the Local Government: Municipal
Systems Act, 32 of 2000. Public participatioh meetings were also conducted from the 13
th
of April until
the 13

of May 2015 to enable all the stakeholders to make inputs on the Draft IDP and Budget. The
stakeholders include organised business (which include Rates Payers Associations, KLCBT,
NAFCOC,Farmers Association etc), Traditional Leaders, Ward Committees, Community Development
Workers, Non -Governmental Organisations, community structures and communities in general).
The IDP was also presented at Ehlanzeni District Municipality’s IDP rep forum on the 18
th
March and
20
th
of May 2015 to give the sector departments, district and adjacent municipalities to comment on
the document.
1.4 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION IN THE IDP PROCESS
It is required in terms of chapter 4 of the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 that municipalities must
develop a culture of municipal governance that complements formal representative government with a
system of participatory governance, and must encourage, and create conditions for the local
community to participate in the affairs of the municipality including the preparation, implementation
and review of its IDP. In compliance to the Act, the municipality has adopted the public participation
strategy which reflects ways in which the municipality conducts stakeholder engangement and
consultation in the IDP process.
In terms of the strategy (public participation), the participation of communities is driven through a
Ward Committee System managed by the Public Participation Unit located in the Office of the
Speaker and the IDP Representative Forum arranged through the Office of the Executive Mayor.
Moreover, the municipality’s public participation process comprises of community meetings, zonal
meetings, Mayoral Imbizo(s), Speakers Outreach programmes, business and commercial
stakeholders engangements and traditional leaders engangements.
19
1.4.1 Community Consultative Meetings
The community consultative meetings took place from 9 to 31 October 2014. The aim of the meetings
was to report on the municipality performance and achievements of the previous financial year
(2013/14 and 2014/2015) and also to give the communities an opportunity to raise and confirm priority
issues that need to be addressed in the 2014-2015 financial year. Table 1.4.1 below indicates the

During the 2015-2016 financial year, the municipality will develop a long term strategic plan
(Mbombela Vision 2030) which will provide a comprehensive overview of the alignment and
cascading of the goals and target set in the National Development Plan.
73
The plan will serve as a gateway development strategy document that will take advantage of the
location of Mbombela. It is envisaged that the process will draw on the background studies that have
either been done by the municipality or the provincial government. Once it has been approved, all key
municipal strategic plans such as IDP, SDF, Budget and other sector plans will be informed by the
plan. The plan together with the SDF will serve as the key strategic documents that will guide and
inform the future development of the municipality.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL
PERSPECTIVE
The summary of the municipality’s Spatial Development Framework (SDF) is outlined in section 2.10
of Chapter 2.
1.6. 4 The National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP)
The NSDP advocates for capital investment in areas of growth potential, with an emphasis on
providing basic services and access to social services and human resource development in areas of
need, as well as in those that exhibit less growth potential. The municipality is currently positioning
itself as an area of receiving state investment in infrastructure to support further shared growth and
development. Moreover, the MLM Spatial Development Framework (SDF) was developed on the
premise and understanding of the NSDP objectives and principles.
In respect of the framework (SDF), the municipality took a decision to strengthen its institutional
arrangements and structures in order to support synergy and integration of provincial priorities and
74
programmes. The SDF uses the principles of the ISF to guide development and ensure that the
provincial programme of action and investment in the district and other adjacent neighboring local
municipalities is structured and focused toward achieving sustainable development.
1. 6. 5 The Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS)
The PGDS takes its mandate from provincial stakeholders to define shared growth and integrated
development targets and objectives for the entire province. The initiative focuses on strengthening
growth sectors, the management of resources, and the implementation of strategies. It is important to
note that the manner in which government invests in infrastructure lays the foundation for the location,
form and type of economic activity that consequently develops. The municipality with its strategic
location as a gateway also offers that opportunity of being a one stop shop for investment and
economic growth, and this has been the guiding principle in the municipal SDF.
1. 6. 6 Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF)
The MTSF (MTSF 2014–2019) is essentially a statement of intent by government that identifies the
development challenges facing South Africa and outlining the medium-term strategy for improvement
in the conditions of life of South Africans and for enhanced contribution to the cause of building a
better world. The MTSF gives effect to the electoral mandate. In supporting the implementation of the
MTSF priorities, MLM has formulated its development objectives and priorities in line with the MTSF
objectives. Issues around job creation, health, education, crime and rural development are also
covered as part of the priorities.
1. 7 CONCLUSION
The IDP is a consultative document which details a five year implementation process of the
municipality. Integration is central to its annual review and is therefore discussed at the outset. Both in
letter and in spirit, local government legislation talks of integration as the golden thread that links
strategy, people, process, projects and programmes:
? within the municipality;
? with the needs of the community;
? with provincial and national objectives.
As far as possible, the intention of the MLM 2015-2016 IDP is to link, integrate and co-ordinate
development plans for the municipality. Resources and capacity are aligned with the implementation
of the plan, forming the basis for the annual budget.

2.2.2 Administration development/arrangement
There is a significant relationship between an IDP and the institutional arrangement. The municipality
can not implement its IDP effectively without proper organizational structure. As a result, the
municipality has approved the revised organizational structure on 8 August 2014, Resolution A (6) in
line with the 2014-2015 IDP. The approved organizational structure will also be amended to align with
the 2015-2016 IDP. Table 2.2.2 below indicates the top layer of the organizational structure.

The municipality is currently in the process of appointing a qualified service provider to do an overall
Organisational Review which will include the development of a comprehensive Human Resources
Strategy aligned to the IDP and long-term vision of the municipality. The objectives of the
Organisational Review are:
? diagnose and define the status quo of the municipality, its current structure, systems,
processes and its alignment to the vision, mission and the IDP.
? confirm defined roles and responsibilities for management and key organizational
functions.
? analyze skills and competencies of managerial staff and their placement and utilization.
? analyze possible skills gaps and recommend remedies for same and draft individual
Personal Development Plans.
? conduct an organizational culture analyses and develop a change management
strategy.

the IDP and long-term vision of the municipality.
? analyze internal communication and recommend communication strategies to ensure
effectiveness.
? conduct a financial system compliance analysis with the view to bring control to
minimize fraud and corruption.
A TASK Job Evaluation project is underway and will ensure that all job descriptions are updated and
that all post levels are correctly placed in the organogram and salary curve. On the other hand, a
Performance Management System (PMS) for non-section 56/57 employees was developed and will be
cascaded to lower levels in a phased approach to ensure recognition of good performance and to
establish development gaps which might exist.
The municipality through the Training and Skills Development Section has the Workplace Skills plan in
place. The plan is aimed at responding to the capacity challenges of the municipality.
81
The municipality has a draft Retention Strategy that still needs to go through administrative processes
before tabled before Council for approval. The purpose of this strategy is to outline the mechanisms,
tools and strategies that can be applied at MLM to retain critical, scarce and high risk skills, whichever
is applicable. The primary emphasis of this strategy is to ensure that the Municipality proactively retains
employees to ensure that the Municipality has the best, well trained and suitable employees occupy key
positions at all times.
The municipality has approved the Recruitment, Selection and Induction policy. The objective of the
policy is to provide for a comprehensive policy which accommodates the need for staff provisioning in
the most efficient, professional and cost-effective way as to the effect that:
? No unfair discrimination practices exist in the provisioning discipline of Council;
? Such policy contributes and enhances a diverse culture and environment whereby all staff can
contribute to the goals of Council and where such staff make-up is representative of the
demographic environment of the area it serves.
? Introduction of fair and objective principles and procedures for that staffing of the employer.
? Provision of guidelines for the appointment of candidates to the employer.
? Establishing principles and procedures insuring that the Employer complies with legislative
principles in respect of employment equity and affirmative action.
? Setting out the procedural steps for the advertisement of a vacant post, the selection of
applicants for interviews, the conducting of interviews and the appointment of candidates to the
permanent staff of the Employer.
Apart from the above mentioned policies, the municipality has approved the following policies
associated with institutional development, namely, employment equity policy, adult basic education
policy, promotion policy, internal and external bursary agreement policy, acting allowance policy, long
service award policy, sexual harassment policy, experiential training policy, Work attendance and
absenteeism management policy and policy on the attendance of Local Labour Forum Meetings by
members.
In order to strengthen intergovernmental relations, the municipality has established Integovermental
(IGR) unit. Its primary objective is to facilitatate intergovernmental dialogue with relevant provincial and
national government. Moreover, the unit also creates a conducive working relationship of the
municipality with the district municipalities and other stakeholders.
The municipality has an Information Technology (IT) and Information Systems (IS) department,
collectively known as Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The department is
responsible for providing the necessary tools to the various departments to fast track service delivery
while providing citizens and other stakeholders quicker and easier access to municipal services from
anywhere and at any time. The following are the key functional areas of the ICT department:
? Corporate ICT Governance and Strategy.
? E-Govt. services including website and intranet.

The metropolitan areas of Pretoria and Johannesburg are located 320 km inland, with the border post at
Komatipoort approximately 120 km to the east and the Mozambican coastline being around 200 km
away and 55 km from the famous Kruger National Park. Urban areas in Mbombela include Mbombela,
White River and Hazyview as well as former homelands towns such as Kabokweni, Kanyamazane and
Matsulu.
The municipality is the capital city of the Mpumalanga province and the head office of the provincial
government (legislature). The location and its status of a capital city provide the municipality with a
competitive advantage as a corridor for growth and development. The city has two airports, Kruger
Mpumalanga International Airport to the north east, and the general aviation Mbombela Airport to the
south west. Kruger Mpumalanga is used for scheduled flights to Johannesburg and, less frequently, to
Cape Town and other cities.
It is also a home of the Government Research Institute for Citrus and Subtropical Fruits, and the
Lowveld Botanical Gardens. Mbombela is a major stopover point for tourists travelling to the Kruger
National Park and to Mozambique.
2.4 MUNICIPAL PLANNI NG ZONES AND WARDS
The municipality is made up of 39 wards as per the new municipal dermacation, and 5 planning zones
for the purposes of administration and management. The zones include Mbombela A, Mbombela B,
Mbombela C, Hazyview and Nsikazi. The municipal wards increased from 36 to 39 and part of Kruger
National Park fall within the municipal area as part of ward 39. Table 2.4 and figure 2.4 below show the
municipal zones and wards.

2. 5 DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW
2. 5.1 Population size
The distribution and characteristics of population has an impact on many facets of life. It affects the
area where people live and the prices of the goods and services including basic services delivery that
the municipality must provide as enriched in the Constitution.
According to Census 2011 results, MLM has the population of 588 794. This population constitutes 35%
of the entire population of Ehlanzeni District. Hence, MLM is the most populous municipality in
Ehlanzeni District (Stats SA, 2011). With regards to the municipality’s population trends over the past
15 years, the municipality has been one of the fastest growing municipalities in the district (refer to
figure 2.5.1 below).
Figure: 2.5.1: The population distribution in Ehlanzeni district area
Source: Stats SA, 1996, 2001 and 2011
MLM has recorded annual population growth rate of 1.13% between 1996 and 2001. However, the
municipality has grown at 2.11% per annum between 2001 and 2011 (Stats SA, 2011). These trends
can be attributed to the municipality’s economic potential to attract people from other countries,
provinces and municipalities. According to Census 2011, MLM became destination for about 40, 67% of
all immigrants coming into Ehlanzeni District municipality. The municipality will in the 2015/2016
financial year develop a strategy to manage the challenge of migration.
88
2. 5. 2 Number of households
The number of households is one of the crucial indicators related to service provision in the
municipality. Most of the services the municipality provides are at the household level, rather than
individual level.
According to Stats SA, 2011 results, the municipality has recorded rapid increase in the number of
households in the past 15 years. The results reveal that the municipality has a total of 161, 773
households. This is an increase by 24,420 between 2007 and 2011, while the number has increased by
69 961 in the past 15 years.
When looking at the average household size, the municipality has recorded a decline from 4.46 in 1996
to 3.69 in 2001 and down to 3.59 in 2011. This implies that the unbundling of households, which results
in increase in the number of households in the municipality (Refer to figure 2.5.2 below).
Figure 2.5.2: Number of households from 1996 to 2011
Source: Stats SA, 1996, 2001, 2007 and 2011
The increase in the number of households has an impact in the planning and development of the
municipality. This in other words means that the municipality must earmark land for residential
development in order to accommodate those who will need the space to live. The increase in the
number of households also has direct impact on the provision of housing as well as basic services like
electricity, water and sanitation.
2. 5. 3 Age and sex composition
Age and sex are the most basic characteristics of a population. Every population has a different age
and sex composition. The number and proportion of males and females in each age group have
considerable impact on the population’s social and economic situation, both present and future (refer to
table 2.5.3 below).
89
Figure 2.5.3: Age and sex composition
Description Years
1996 2001 2011
Age 0-14 36.36% 34.55% 29.83%
14-35 (youth) 40.59% 42.47% 43.49%
15-64 (economic active) 57.29% 61.49% 65.95%
65+ (elderly) 6.3% 3.96% 4.22%
Gender Female 52% 52.26% 51%
Male 48% 47.74% 49%
Sex ratio 93% 91.53% 94.29%
Source: Stats SA, 2011
The above table shows that MLM has relatively young population. The table shows that 73.32% of the
municipality’s population is aged between 0 and 35 years. However, the municipality has experienced a
decline in the percentage of people under the age of 14 years between 1996 and 2011, while the
population of youth has recorded increases. This presents challenges regarding services like the
provision of early childhood development services and care, education, sports development and job
creation opportunities. This was also confirmed during the IDP community consultative meetings where
the majority of wards raised the need for local economic development programmes and multipurpose
centres.
With regard to sex composition, the municipality has recorded that females have been in majority since
Census 1996 to the most recent Census conducted in 2011, although the gap has closed down a bit
between 2001 and 2011. This has also been quantified by the sex ratios. There have been fluctuations
in sex ration between the three Censuses. In 1996, the sex ratio was 93 males for every 100 females.
This dropped to 92 in 2001 and then up to 94 males per 100 females in 2011.
2. 5. 4 Racial profile
The municipality is dominated by African (Black) people. According to Stats SA, 2011, 89, 40% are
Africans (Blacks) followed by whites (8.74 %). Coloureds constitute 0.95% while Indians/Asians
constitute 0.72% (Refer to figure 2.5.4 below).
90
Figure 2.5.4: MLM racial profile
Source: Stats SA, 2011
Linked to the race, the dominating language is SiSwati, followed by Afrikaans and English respectively.
The dominance of African people who are speaking Siswati forced the municipality to approve a
language policy which gave provision for the translation of key strategic documents such as IDP,
Budget and Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) into Siswati. The primary of
objective is to ensure that the majority of people understand the core business of the municipality.
2.5. 5 Persons living with disability
According to Stats SA, 2011, the municipality has 5, 32% of people with disability. The percentage has
declined from 5, 84% in 1996 to 5,32% in 2001. However, the disability unemployment rate has
increased from 32, 03% to 38,28% in 1996 and 2001 respectively. The municipality under Transversal
Services unit has programmes aimed at assisting and empowering special targeted groups including
people with disability. Refer to 2.8 for further information.
2. 5.6 Employment profile and income
Employment is one of the indicators that could tell of the municipality’s ability to generate revenue.
Unfortunately, the municipality has high percentage of people who are unemployed. However, the
picture is improving as the unemployment rate has decreased from 37.77% in 2001 to 28.14% in 2011.
Unemployment is high amongst youth, women and persons with disabilities (Refer to table 2.5.6 below).

The implementation of the Local Economic Development (LED) programmes, Extended Public Works
Programme (EPWP) and Community Works Programme (CWP) become important in the municipality’s
efforts to create job opportunities to the communities including women, youth and people with disability.
Moreover, it is anticipated that the LED strategy and Spatial Development Framework (SDF) will also
assist in identifinancial yearing key areas that the municipality can invest more money in capital projects
that will create the job opportunities.
With regards to individual income, majority (43.23%) of people in the municipality does not have income
at all. This is an increase from 42.6% recorded in 2007. The highest percentage with income has been
recorded in the income bracket of between R801 and R1600 per month. The percentage decreases
with the increase in income (Refer to table 2.5.6 below).

The municipality’s indigent register policy will also assist people who are unable to pay for services.
2. 5. 7 Education attainment
Education is one of the indicators that depict the level of development as well as potential for one to
have better chances of employment; hence the contribution to personal capacity as well as
development of the municipality.
The municipality has recorded decreases in the population with no schooling, while the population with
matric only and those with matric and higher qualifications have increased over the past 15 years (Refer
to figure 2.5.7 below).
Figure 2.5.7: Level of education
Source: Stats SA, 1996, 2001 and 2011
The reason for the increases in no schooling might be caused by the fact that education has been
identified as one of the top 5 national priorities for government in the medium term period. The
Department of Education has introduced programmes to encourage young people to take education
very serious including those that are in remote rural areas. The municipality is also offering bursaries to
students who have passed matric and are interested in furthering their studies.
On the other hand, poverty and lack of access to educational facilities might be a contributing factor for
no schooling as well as the low level of tertiary education. This was confirmed during the IDP
consultative meetings when most wards raised the need for additional schools (primary and secondary)
and tertiary institutions to increase access of education in the municipality. The establishment of the
university in the province specifically within the Mbombela municipal area will encourage those that
have passed matric to further their studies.
According to the Mpumalanga Department of Education, the municipality has 151 public primary
schools, 59 public secondary schools, 25 independent (private) schools and 5 tertiary institutions.
Comparing the number of educational facilities and the total population of 588794, it is clear that there
is a need for the provision of schools in the municipality. The municipality must allocate land for
educational purposes in terms of the Spatial Development Framework and that should also be linked to
the infrastructure master plans for water, roads and electricity.
93
2.6 BASIC SERVICES DELIVERY
Like any other municipality in the country, MLM is faced with service delivery backlogs. Table 2.6 below
outlie the service delivery or infrastructure indicators between 2001 and 2011.
Table 2.6: Service delivery indicators
BASIC SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE INDICATORS STATS RESULTS
2001 2011
% of households with no toilets or with bucket system 11.1% 8.0%
% of households with connection to piped (tap) water: on site &

% of households with electricity for lighting 72.3% 90.7%
% of households with weekly municipal refuse removal 25.0% 29.4%
Source: Stats SA, 2011 & Sero Report, 2013
The above table shows that there is an improvement in the level of services between 2001 and 2011,
particularly on access to electricity and refuse removal. Items 2.6.1 to 2.6.4 below give the detailed
analyses per basic service.
2.6.1 Water
The current water backlog is 31 710 households. In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of households
with access to water (connected to stand pipes, on site and off site) has decreased from 86.5% in 2001
to 77.9% in 2011. This might be attributed to the rapid growth of the population over the past 10 years
from 2001 until 2011 where the population has increased from 476 903 to 588 794 (Stats SA, 2001 &
2011). On the other hand, it might be due to the mushrooming of informal settlements in the municipal
area caused by MLM being the economic hub of the province.
The municipality has managed to reduce the water supply backlog from 35 752 to 31 710 between 2011
and 2013 (18.8%). Figure 2.6.1 below show detailed information on the access to pipe water.
94
Figure 2.6.1: Access to pipe water

The above figure shows that the municipality has done well in ensuring that people get access to water
pipes in their yards. About 64.8% of the households do have water pipes in the yard, 22.1% do not have
access to water pipes and 13.1% access water on a communal stand. Figure 2.6.2 shows the status of
water supply in the municipality per ward.

The challenge of water shortage in the municipality, is exacerbated by inadequate bulk water supply
and high level of illegal connections on the bulk water supply. However, the municipality is in the
process of finalising the bulk water strategy which will address the problems of bulk in the municipality.
The implementation of water demand and management strategy will also assist in managing the water
lossed in the municipality.
95
2.6.2 Electricity
The current electricity backlog is 15 180 households, and the number of households with access to
electricity is 147 259. In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of households with access to electricity
has increased from 72.3% in 2001 to 90.7% in 2011. This shows a huge improvement in the supply of
electricity in the municipal area.
There are other areas which still need electricity, particularly in the rural areas. The municipality in
partnership with Eskom is in the process of upgrading existing power stations in order to cater for all the
areas within the municipal area.
Moreover, the municipality is in the process of developing a master plan on streets or public lighting
which will address the challenges of street and hight masts requested by the communities during the
IDP consultative meetings.
2.6.3 Sanitation
The current sanitation backlog is 62 409 households. In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of
households with no proper sanitation has decreased from 11.1% in 2001 to 8% in 2011. The backlog
has now decreased from 64 709 in 2011 to 62 409 which equates to 40%. Apart from the decrease, the
majority of households still use pit toilets without ventilation. Figure 2.6.3 below show the municipality’s
sanitation status in 2011.
Figure 2.6.3: Status of sanitation, 2011
None 7,2%
Pit toilet without
ventilation 43,6%
Bucket toilet 0,8%
Other 1,4%
Source: Stats SA, 2011
The above figure shows that 43.6% of the households use pit toilets without ventilation, 33.8% use flush
toilets and 13.3% use pit toilets with ventilation. Due to the fact that the municipality comprise of rural
and urban, flush toilets are mostly used in the urban areas whereas the pit toilets are used in the rural
areas which has been previously disadvantaged. During the previous financial years, the municipality
focused on upgrading water treatment works plants in order to ensure that water is available in all the
areas. Henceforth, the municipality will prioritise bulk sanitation infrastructure in order to convert the pit
toilets into water borne sewer, particularly in the rural areas.
96
2.6.4 Refuse removal /waste management
In terms of Stats SA, 2011, the number of households that receives weekly municipal refuse removal
has slightly increased from 25% in 2001 to 29.4% in 2011. It must be noted that the increase is only
applicable in areas where the municipality is rendering services, which is the urban areas.
However, the municipality is currently in the process of extending the waste collection service to the
rural areas and informal settlements, and a feasibility study is underway in this regard. Moreover,
transfer stations in White River, Hazyview, Kabokweni and Matsulu will also be established.
The municipality is currently reviewing the Intergrated Waste Management Plan and compiling section
78 investigation reports as per the requirement of the new National Environmental Management: Waste
Act 39 of 2008. Waste minimization and recycling are being institutionalised to reduce the tonnage of
waste reaching the landfill sites and subsequently creates jobs for those who are interested to
participate in recycling program.
2.6.5 Roads and Storm water
An integrated road network is one of the main drivers of economic development and spatial integration
in Mbombela. Currently, there are ± 539 km of municipal tar and paved roads and ± 2005km of
municipal gravel roads. The municipality has compiled an Asset Management Plan and Asset register
for streets and storm water to guide and manage all the streets in the municipal area.
The municipality also has a Roads Master Plan (RMP) which is updated annually to cater for the
completed and new developments. The new university, ICC, Urban renewal project in Tekwane , Nkosi
City and fresh produce market will have a significant influence on the traffic, therefore the plan will also
be updated to cater for that. Table 2.6.5 below gives estimated.
Table 2.6.4: Estimated amounts required to tar gravel roads and to upgrade existing tar roads in
Mbombela

Approval is provided to increase the density or rights of areas without upgrading the services, and this
result in the decrease of the efficiency of the services. For example, the extension of the Mbombela
CBD; roads are congested, storm water pipes are too small and people are parking on sidewalks
instead of on the stands (no place for pedestrians to walk). A master plan is required to upgrade all the
services to accommodate all the developments in the future.
The intensity of the rainfall has increased over the past few years and storm damages are increasing
annually. In future, a catchment management strategy will be complied after the finalisation of 1:100
year flood-lines which is in progress for all the rivers and streams in the municipality. The 1:100 year
flood-lines for Mbombela and Kanyamazane are completed, Msogwaba in process and the balance will
be done in future depending of the availability of funds.
97
There is also an urgent need for attenuation ponds in the municipality to decrease the high volumes of
stormwater in the streams and many streams must be rehabilitated.
About R250 million is required for the Nsikazi storm water master plan and R981 million is required for
the 104 pedestrian bridges in Nsikazi.
2. 6.6 Transport
The Municipality Integrated Transport Plan was approved by Council on 16 October 2007, as per
Council Resolution A (8) (b). According to the Municipal Integrated Transport Plan, public transport
services in the Mbombela Local Municipality are provided by means of buses and minibuses (taxis) of
which three quarter of the people are using buses. BusCor is by far the major bus operator and minibus
taxis operating within the municipality are ranges from 750 to 1000.
The following are the peak period screen line occupancy counts, namely, in the morning peak, 80% of
all person trips are in public transport. This high percentage of public transport users might be as a
result that 59% of the population as indicated under household income earn less that basic of R 1 600
per month resulting in non affordability to acquire private transport. The distance between areas of work
at Mbombela / White River/ Rocky’s Drift Corridor is also a contributing factor to the increased demand
for public transport compared to usage of private vehicles.
The municipal SDF indicates that most people from the Eastern Development Corridor travel almost two
hours daily from home to work. The SDF suggest that jobs must be created closer to people’s homes
or low cost housing be developed closer to place of work to reduce long travelling hours.

The bus and taxi ranks in Mbombela are well located in the Mbombela CBD in the close proximity to
each other at the north east of the CBD. Both ranks require additional capacity and land has been
acquired for future expansion. In terms of White River, both ranks are about 1km apart making it
inconvenient for commuters to travel between the two ranks.
The Hazyview taxi ranks are currently being consolidated so that all taxis can operate in one rank.
Buscor is also intending to move the current rank, although the issue of land availability is a major
concern. Not all public transport routes are tarred or paved and accessibility to service centres is
restricted in some areas. There is also a need for bus shelters at major loading points.
Mbombela is through 2010 FIFA World Cup learned the good ways of managing the transportation
programs such as park and ride and controlling the metered taxi. These lessons learnt will be populated
in the Transportation Strategy and ensure the improvement in the transportation industry. Mbombela
will first establish the Transport Management Unit to deal with the following strategic matters:
? Management and control of the taxi industry
? Management of all Taxi and Bus Termini
? Conducting the local Transportation Liaison Forum
? Coordinating all transportation related matters.
Moreover, the above matters are being addressed through the Integrated Public Transport Network
Programme implemented by the municipality as per its new mandate enhriched in the National Land
Transport Act, 2009.

2. 7 SOCI AL AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
2.7.1 Community facilities
There is a need to provide more community halls for community meetings and other social functions.
Art galleries, cultural centres and theatres are needed for the development and promotion of arts,
culture and heritage within the municipality area. Community halls are currently an option for such
activities. Moreover, there is a need to develop proper sport fields in the rural areas. In as far as
libraries are concerned, Mbombela B has the highest population compared to the other 3 zones but only
two (2) libraries are available of which one (1) is under the provincial government. The library that is
under the municipality is based at the Matsulu Service Centre. Most of the wards during IDP
consultative meetingss have indicated the need for more community halls, sports facilities, parks and
recreational facilities.

Eight (8) of the community halls as well as the amphitheatre need major renovations in order to bring
them to a good standard that will make them user friendly to the communities. These halls include
Elandshoek community hall (which needs reconstruction), Makoko community hall, Luphisi community
hall, Daantjie community hall, Nsikazi/Khumbula community hall, Matsulu B community hall, White River
community hall and Oewersig hall. The plan is to upgrade 2 of these community facilities per year
depending on funding to cover the backlog. The process will involve engagements with the Traditional
Authorities, where applicable, through the relevant Ward Councilors since some of these facilities fall
100
under the Traditional Authorities. Six (6) of the community facilities including the Silulu Cultural Centre
as well as the Mbombela Civic Theatre are in need of minor renovations.
2. 7.2 Sport development
The municipality has Sports Development Unit which is responsible for the promotion of all sporting
codes in collaboration with the relevant stakeholders including the associations. The communities are
participating successfully. Currently, the Soccer sporting code is seen to be dominating due the interest
of the communities. The Unit is seen spending more time in maintenance programs of the infrastructure
from sports field, swimming pools, tennis courts etc. This has been identified as a course for concern to
be addressed.
MLM has been fortunate to inherit the infrastructure which was developed for the 2010 FIFA World cup
such as Kabokweni and KaNyamazane Stadiums. It should be outlined that the state of the art
Mbombela Stadium was beautiful during the world cup and is still well maintained currently. The other
associations locally have been are working with Mbombela on other sporting codes in an uncoordinated
manner.
MLM is a tourist point for most people visiting the Mpumalanga province. Since Mbombela hosted the
World Cup successfully, everybody wishes to visit the city. Due to that, other associations have
expressed interest in investing on sporting codes. Therefore, a strategy on how to explore this
investment opportunities to the best interest of the local citizens will be developed. This will be done in a
coordinated manner and within the perimeter of the law.
The municipality has been successful to obtain funding from LOTTO to upgrade certain sporting
infrastructure. This will create a conducive environment to the youth and those interested to participate
in sports. The council will also develop a strategy which will talk to the systems that must be put in place
to deal effectively with Sports Academies and other Sporting Associations without any prejudice.
The municipality is participating in twining games and inter-governmental activities which involve other
municipalities and other countries such as Maputo and Swaziland. Such type of games serve as the
yardstick for different government spheres to come together share the work experiences and makes fun
through play. In future, the planning for twinning games will be coordinated through Communication and
IGR offices to involve all departments and to ensure that all interested employees participate. The
games will be used for social interaction and cohesion. Furthermore, a strategy will be developed to
enable all relevant stakeholders understand the need for the twining games and its impact on their
involvement.
Lastly, the municipality will develop a maintenance strategy of all sporting facilities to ensure that
facilities are properly maintained and effectively utilized for both Council and the communities.
2.7.3 Cemeteries and Open Spaces
The driving forces affecting cemeteries in the municipality are linked to socio-economic situations in the
area, interlinked with a high mortality rate. The high mortality rate in Mbombela in recent years resulted
in most of the cemeteries managed by the municipality reaching capacity sooner than anticipated.
Some cemeteries are located near riverbanks, springs or boreholes used by the communities as
potable water. This could impact negatively on the water quality, causing health problems such as
diarrhoea. On the other hand, they can could be damaged through floods or high rainfall storms.
101
The majorinty of the cemeteries are located in Mbombela, Tekwane, Matsulu, Msogwaba, White River,
Nsikazi, Makoko, and Phameni areas. Hazyview and Nsikazi zones have a multitude of rural
cemeteries, which are mostly full or nearly full, and due to the environmental impacts associated with
these cemeteries, the municipality in partnership with the Traditional Authorities is in the process of
identifying suitable land for the establishment of regional cemeteries.
Nsikazi and Mbombela B zones do not have any formal or informal cemeteries, and communities are
mostly relying on burial plots on farms (which are decreasing as a result of land claims) or they have to
go to formal cemeteries managed by the municipality which are very far from their place of residence.
The establishment of the proposed regional cemeteries as outlined previously seek to address some of
these problems. The municipality will also ensure that enough land is earmarked for cemeteries during
the development of the Spatial Development Framework (SDF) and Land Use Management Scheme
(LUMS).
The municipality is also maintaining closed cemeteries at Sonheuwel, Nelsville, Matsulu, Kabokweni
and KaNyamazane. The closed sites will be fenced and be maintained as monument for the protection
of the dead and ensuring that they are accessible by the family members for different cultural purposes.
The system to ensure that all the graves are properly recorded and accurate information is filed, the
electronic system will be introduced and an accurate data for all closed and new cemeteries will be
readily available in the system for any related correspondences. It is also anticipated that the bylaw on
cemeteries which is still a draft will assist to address the challenges associated with cemeteries in the
municipality.
With regard to open spaces, the municipality use open spaces for the creation of parks and
conservation of natural resources. Some areas require de-bushing to reduce alien plants and crime hot
spots in the municipality, while sidewalks requires cleaning/clearing and grass cutting. In the case of the
open bushy areas, interventions are sought in the form of appointing service providers to assist in this
regard.
Parks section is in the process of conducting an audit of all municipal parks and other parks for data
collection. The audit will also cover the information on the availability of the public facilities in all the
parks, the number of used graves per area, the amount of space available and the condition of graves.
2. 7.4 Public Safety (Crime, Road Safety, Fire & Rescue and Disaster management)
2.7.4.1 Crime
Crime has reached an unacceptable high level in certain areas of the municipality with Pienaar area
being the highest crime spot in the Ehlanzeni region. This is attributed to the lack of adequate police
stations and lack of capacity within the existing police force and inadequate access roads within the
municiaplity. According to the information received during the IDP consultative meetings, the lack of
street lights in most of the villages and certain environmental factors such as un-maintained parks,
cemeteries and dilapidated buildings are some of the aggravating factors to crime.
In terms of the report received from the Provincial Department of Community Safety, Security and
Liason (2013), the mostly high reported crime cases in the district are property related at 17.3%
followed by social fabric types of crime at 7.4% and lastly violence related crimes at 2.3%. An average
41021 number of people are served by one police station in the district and one police official serving
1000 people (ISDF2006). This ratio does not take into account other constrains like human resource
102
and other related resources. However, the department will be embarking on civilian oversight and social
crime awareness campaigns during the 2014-2015 financial year in order to advocate against crime.
The municipality also participate in the Multi Agency Mechanism (MAM) forum established at both
provincial and district level to deliberate on issues related to crime.
Moreover, the municipality has a Draft Safety Plan which outlines ways of dealing with crime with the
municipal area. The municipality has a toll free hot line for the residents to report any crime and
corruption related activities.
2.7.4.2 Road Safety
There is currently an average of 6581 accidents per annum and most of these accidents happen during
peak hours and after hours. This is confirmed by numerous wards’ that identified the need for visible
traffic policing, pedestrian and overhead bridges to assist in reduction of accidents within Mbombela.
There is also a need to deal with the current dilapidated road infrastructure and poor street lighting as
they are main contributing factors to road accidents and un-road worthy vehicles.
Currently, traffic law enforcement services are delivered through the deployment of Traffic Officers from
the following Service Centres:
? Mbombela (16 x Traffic Officers) (2 x Traffic Officers –Municipal Court Duties)
? White River (6 x Traffic Officers)
? Hazyview (6 x Traffic Officers)
? KaNyamazane (7 x Traffic Officers)
In terms of the criteria set by the CSIR for the employment of Traffic Officers, MLM should consist of
426 Traffic Officers to perform this function based on the following:
? Registered Vehicles;
? Population;
? Kilometre Road; and
? Through roads / National and Provincial roads.
The municipality has managed to appoint 37 Traffic Officers, thus a shortfall of 389. To ensure
maximum visibility and to render a sufficient traffic service more Traffic Officers need to be employed
and be provided with equipment such as traffic patrol vehicles, office accommodation, bulletproof vests,
firearms etc.
2.7.4.3 Vehicle registration and licensing
The Department of Roads & Transport has entered into an agreement with the municipality to render
the services in terms of the section 136 of the Constitution. As a result, the Licensing Unit renders is
currently providing services in Mbombela, White River and Hazyview in accordance with the Service
Level Agreement. The services are as follows:
? Mbombela Services: Registering Authority (RA), Driver’s License Testing Centre (DLTC),
Vehicle Testing Station (VTS);
? White River Services: Registering Authority (RA), Driver’s License Testing Centre (DLTC),
Vehicle Testing Station (VTS);
103
? Hazyview Services: Registering Authority (RA)
The Mbombela Centre is the busiest Centre in the municipality followed by White River and Hazyview. It
services not less than 10 000 people per month on various transactions. The Mbombela DLTCs has
vigorously put systems in place to curb or reduce fraudulent activities. For example, the electronic Natis
System introduced is able to track down the user. The Department of Community Safety, Security &
Liaison has provided the following assets to the municipality with an objective of advancing the service
in Mbombela DLTC:
? 4 X Heavy duty vehicle with computers for testing : Code 10 – 14 (C1- EC)
? 1 X Light motor vehicle with computers for testing : Code 8 (EB)
? 15 X computers for the learners testing (Computerized Learners Class)
The learners test is now conducted electronically through a touch screen computer in all official
languages whilst the driving test is conducted through a tablet that are attached to the electronic
vehicles which are provided at a free cost to the public. The Computerised Learners class has
increased the capacity of test conducted on daily basis from 16 applicants to 45 applicants per day.
After completion of the test, results are given electronically and are non- manipulated. It has been
observed positively that since the introduction of the electronic Natis System, the work has drastically
improved because the system is consistent. This can be evidenced by the severe reduction of
complaints from the public. It must further be noted that the demand of Licensing Services has
increased drastically nationally in the past years. The electronic queuing system was introduced in
Mbombela Centre in February 2011 and is working well. There is still a delay in obtaining driving license
test booking and currently the waiting period is 42 days.
In order to ease access to license services, the municipality is in the process of decentralising or
extending the services to the other Municipal Service Centres in Kanyamazane, Kabokweni and
Matsulu. The extension will be achieved through the following:
? Upgrading of White River Testing Centre to meet Best Practice Model Standard;
? Establishment of Satellite offices in Kanyamazane, Kabokweni, Mbombela Civic Centre and
Matsulu;
? Establishment of Testing Centre in Kanyamazane,
? Establishment of Testing Centre in Hazyview,
? Extension of queuing system in all centres;
? Eradication of fraud and corruption in the workplace.
2.7.4.4 Fire and Rescue
There are currently four (4) fire stations in the municipality, which are Mbombela, KaNyamazane, White
River and Kabokweni. Due to the high volume of accidents, the municipality needs to build more fire
stations in order to enhance ease assess and create a shorter response time to the accident scenes.
The targeted areas are Matsulu, Ngodwana and Hazyview. The Matsulu fire station has already been
budgeted for, and will be constructed in the 2014-2015 financial year.
There is also a need for communication systems that will assist the public to alert the Unit of any
emergency, particularly in rural areas. Road and water infrastructure are of concern, fire fighting
vehicles require lots of water to operate (extinguish fire) and a challenge is when the affected area does
not have enough water supply. Moreover, there is a need to replace outdated fleet and buy off terrain
vehicles.
104
2.7.4.5 Disaster Management
According to the status quo report of the Disaster Management Unit, about 47 000 households in rural
areas are without radio communication system coverage to alert the unit during disasters. Almost 39%
of the households have built houses on wet lines and flood lines which is a serious risk.
The unit does not have a fully fleshed Disaster Management Centre, and is relying on the assistance of
the District and Provincial centres. However, the municipality has entered into an agreement with the
Provincial Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Authorities (COGTA) to upgrade
Coouncil’s Disaster and Communications Centre.
The municipality also participate in the Disaster Management Forum where all issues related to disaster
are discussed, and a Disaster Management Plan will be development in the 2014/2015 financial year.
2. 7.5 Health
Mbombela has two (2) district hospitals which are Rob Ferreira and Themba, one (1) TB Hospital which
is Bongani, and three private hospitals. There are also 29 clinics that are providing health services, 2
are accredited and 27 are linked. Table 2.7.5 below shows the accredited and linked clins in Mbombela.

The newly opened clinic which is operating 24 hours in Mbombela CBD has provided health services
relieve to Rob-Ferreira Hospital which was always overcrowded.
2. 8 TRANSVERSAL SERVICES
The municipality has established a unit, “Transversal Unit” to deal specifically with issues related to
HIV/Aids, women, children, youth, disability, elders (senior citizens), traditional leaders and traditional
healers.
The Unit is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
• To bring forth transformation and mainstreaming all transversal issues, programmes and
projects (gender, children, disability, elderly, HIV/AIDS, youth and traditional healers );
• Advocate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of all transversal issues;
• Coordination and facilitation of all transversal programmes / projects;

• Infrastructure Provision
• Social Services and Development
• Cross-Cutting Issues
• Institutional Transformation
• The Gender Management System
• The implementation of Masibuyele Emasimini Programme

However, in making sure that Transversal issues are mainstreamed in the municipality programmes
and processes, Transversal Services have developed a consolidated draft Mbombela Transversal
Services policy informed by the National Youth Policy Framework, South Africa’s National Policy
Framework for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality, DPLG Gender Policy and White Paper
on an Integrated National Disability Strategy which is still going to circulate in Council Committees, but
a copy has been send to SALGA Mpumalanga and CGE for correction and input.
2. 8.1 HIV/ AIDS
HIV/Aids still remain the municipality’s biggest challenge. According to the Stats SA, 2011, the
municipality has an HIV/AIDS prevalence of 45.1%. It is the second highest in Ehlanzeni District and
over 5000 people are already receiving ARV’s.
Moreover, there are 3000 orphans and 2000 vulnerable children in the municipality that need
assistance (Department of Health Survey). Hence, the municipality is involved in 32 home based care
projects, of which 16 are funded by the Department of Social Services, 15 are funded by the
Department of Health and 1 is funded by the Expanded Public Works Programme conditional grant.
The municipality has an HIV/AIDS strategy which is aimed at achieving the following objectives:
• To provide awareness and encourage the spirit of using ABC / VCT methods for the prevention
of HIV/AIDS;

will hopefully sustain their positive healthy lifestyle;
• To promote the partnership in struggle against HIV/AIDS within government, non-governmental
institutions, Traditional leaders, Churches, Unions and other stakeholders for the betterment of
the campaign mission statement.
\In a move to deal with the HIV/Aids, the municipality has created a fully fleshed department with Senior
Manager, Manager and Coordinators to deal directly with issues of HIV/Aids.
106

2.8.2 Youth
The status quo as reflected in the previous sections revealed that the majority of people in the
municipality are youth. In an attempt to address issues affecting youth, the municipality is in the process
of developing youth strategy. The objectives of the strategy are as follows:
? Create health platform for the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between Mbombela
Local Municipality and National Youth Agency;
? To promote youth interest in the municipality;
? To advocate and lobby for young people economic support in South Africa in general
Mbombela in particular;

? Create an able environment for youth development;
? Assist young people to access sustainable livelihood and obtain employment /self-employment
and/or information in, education and training opportunities;
? To assist youth initiatives in tourism and cultural activities
? To assist young people to establish comparatives.
107
In respect of youth development programmes, the focus of the municipality is mainly on ensuring that
the guidelines of the local government framework on youth development are adhered to. The focus
however, is on the following two levels of mainstreaming:
? Internal mainstreaming that begins with all spheres of government developing and
implementing youth friendly policies and strategies, setting out clear targets and budgets for
youth within their budgetary and programmatic activities. This approach requires that the
municipality looks at its human resources and ensures that its staff component consists of an
acceptable proportion of youth, with opportunities for training and development and possibilities
for career development within the municipality corporate ladder.
? External mainstreaming is a second level which requires that every line department within a
municipality takes into account the issues affecting young people in communities within
municipal areas. The Framework proposes that mainstreaming be considered in areas of Youth
Policy, Strategic Plans and Programmes. The Framework identifies lessons from good practice
examples in Youth Policy development; from South Africa. Further, it identifies key municipality
Programme Priorities, viz; Infrastructure Provisioning; Free Basic Services; Local Economic
Development; Integrated Sustainable Development Programme; Urban Renewal Programme;
Public Participation; and Skills and Leadership Development Programme for Local Government
for the professionalization of youth work.
2.8.2.1 Junior Councilors
The municipality is in a process of establishing a Junior Councilor structure. The rational behind the
establishment of the Junior Councilors is to teach young people how decisions are taken, implemented,
evaluated or monitored by council most important is to develop second layer leadership both politically
and administratively. In responding to this requirement, the municipality must establish Municipal Junior
Council.
2.8.2.2 Youth Development Agency
The Municipality is requested to establish a Youth Local Office, to be known as Mbombela Youth
Development Agency (MYDA). The agency will work hand in hand with the Provincial Youth
Development Agency in creating and promoting coordination in youth development matters. The Youth
Local Office position will be at Level a Coordinator.
The municipality will be rolling out the following programmes:
? National youth services recruitment

? Mandela day celebration
? High school debates competition
? Children focus week
? Take a child to the work place
? Social Security programmes
? Business Training and Cooperatives establishment
? 16 June tournament
? Allocation of books to 5 high school libraries.
2. 8. 3 Gender Development
The municipality has developed an Employment Equity Plan aimed at eliminating unfair discrimination
in employment and to provide for Affirmative Action to redress the imbalances of the past and create
equity in employment. The policy specifically ensures that women are considered in the senior
positions. Mbombela Local Municipality through its Transversal unit has developed a draft gender policy
informed by the DPLG Gender Policy. The overall purpose of this policy document is to provide a
framework that will serve as a guide for development of gender responsive programmes, projects,
policies, and procedures within the municipality in transforming the status of women. The key outcome
of the policy is to ensure the mainstreaming of gender in the broader planning agenda of the
municipality. Refer to Chapter 1 under the organisational structure for more information regarding the
status quo of gender in the municipality.
2. 8.4 Children
Children’s Rights are enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. Departments are,
therefore, obliged to translate the Constitutional Mandate into legislation, policies and programmes at all
spheres of Government to ensure that the human rights of children are meted out to South African
children. According to Ehlanzeni District Municipality, the majority of children in MLM do not have
access to government resources such as clinics, schools, social grants and children who are severely
disabled with no access to assistive devices and education.
The strategic children’s rights agenda of Government is guided by the Children’s Rights Sector’s
obligation to contribute to national initiatives towards delivery on:
• The Constitutional Mandate
• The National Strategic Objective i.e. “A united, democratic, non-racial, non-sexist and
prosperous South Africa”
• The People’s Contract or Election Manifesto
• National priorities
• Regional and International obligations
The Children’s Rights Stakeholder’s Forum was established for the following reasons:
• Is a key structure in enhancing service delivery and equalization of opportunities for children in
the Municipality
109
• Strengthens an enabling environment conducive for Children’s Rights delivery in the
Municipality
• Promotes the legal and political accountability set out in the United Nations Conventions;
• Contributes in all relevant ways to ensure that children’s rights are promoted effectively and to
strengthen accountability which is the hallmark of the realization of these rights;
• will put attention to pertinent issues such as worst forms of child labour, hazardous works,
trafficking and sexual exploitation;
• Promotes cohesion in relation to NGO’s;
• Creates a platform of acquiring data for monitoring children’s rights delivery;
• Advocates for and promotes children’s rights and responsibilities in society;
• Facilitates and coordinates the Programme of Action and the National Plan of Action for
children;
• Promotes constitutional requirements, aspirations of regional and international Children’s
Rights instrument;
• Ensure effective public private partnerships in order to advance delivery of the Constitutional
mandate.
Currently, the municipality has identified donors to assist in allocating books to 5 primary school
libraries.The areas of focus for children’s rights issues will be on early child hood development,
emphasis on education through the back to school campaigns, orphaned and vulnerable children,
substance abuse and social education on teenage pregnancy, career guidance, health education, child
trafficking, general safety of children, social services, infrastructure, nutrition and peer counseling.
The municipality has already compiled a data base for Early Childhood Development Centers (ECD)
and thus far they are 108 Centres. According to the Department of Social Development, 106 ECD’s are
funded and two are still in a process of registration, the total number of ECD learners is 2 713. The
municipality will establish an ECD Forum aiming at creating a platform for ECD Coordinators to engage
Council on issues relating to Early Childhood Development issues. The municipality has visited ECD
centres around its area of jurisdiction with an intention of assessing the governmental services which
resulted in finding out that the is a shortage of sponges and blankets, then the municipality has resolved
to assist through its Transversal Unit in donating 30 sponges and 30 blankets (6 Centres). There is a
fundraising conducted by Mbombela through its Transversal Services in partnership with Ligwalagwala
Fm and Mpumalanga Land & Agriculture Committee for clothing and grocery whereby orphanage
centres will be identified through Ligwalagwala FM to benefit on the programme.
According to the Department of Social Development, MLM has 7152 children who receive foster care
grants and thus far the backlog is approximately 1500 and 2 363 Orphans. This therefore implies that
there is a need to conduct social security programmes.
2. 8. 5 Executive Mayor’s programmes
The Executive Mayor will continue to participate in the programmes that are aimed in improving the
lives of disadvanted special goups. Some of the programmes includes:
? Christmas Party for Mbombela First Citizens, Persons with Disabilities, Orphans and Vulnerable
Children
? Distribution of food parcels, blankets and intervention to poverty stricken families
? Distribution of variations of sidling’s to Primary Schools that provide food nutrition
? Distribution of used clothes/ consignments
? Donation of School uniform to orphans
110
? Donation of gifts by the Executive Mayor to orphanage centres and Inclusive centres
? Donation of spectacles to children with disabilities Albinisms.
2. 8.6 Disability
Historically, disability issues have been addressed in a piecemeal, fragmented way. This has been one
of the key factors contributing to the marginalization of disabled people and the dire poverty of the
circumstances in which the majority fined them in. If the needs of disabled people are to be effectively
addressed and the objectives of the RDP are to be met, disability must be fully integrated into the
principles, strategies and framework of the programme. This will ensure that the effects of apartheid as
they have affected disabled people will be eradicated in a sustainable process of reconstruction.
Thus far the municipality has managed to employ only 5 disabled persons 1 male and 4 females.
Mbombela Civic Center building is accessible for persons with disabilities in terms of toilets, packing
ramps and lift. In terms of database the Municipality have 6 613 persons with disabilities, 43 centres
and one Inclusive School around its jurisdiction.
The municipality does not have a disability strategy, and is currently using Ehlanzeni Disability Strategy.
The strategy aim to achieve the following:
• Facilitation of the integration of disability issues into municipal developmental strategies,
planning and programmes;
• the development of an integrated management system for the coordination of disability
planning, implementation and monitoring in the various line functions at all municipalities in the
District;
• the development of capacity building strategies that will enhance municipality’s ability at all
levels to implement recommendations contained in the Municipal Integrated Disability Strategy;
• a Programme of public education and awareness raising aimed at changing fundamental
prejudices in Ehlanzeni’s societies and communities.
The municipality will establish a Disability Council which will facilitate and coordinate all the
programmes and issues affecting the disable people. The municipality has further compiled a data base
for Albinisms and engaged donors to assist them with spectacles. About twenty (21) Albinisms are
undergoing consultation at Value Mat Center in Dr Stanley and Dekock Surgery. The following are
some of the municipal programmes for disability people:
? Masibuyele Emasimini Programme
? Business training workshop and Cooperatives establishment
? Dialogue on the Rights and safety of persons with disabilities
? Awareness campaign on HIV/AIDS
? Empowerment against any form of abuse
? 16 Days of Activism Programme
? Executive Mayors games
? Social security Programmes
? Women’s Celebration
? Human Rights Celebration
? Sign language workshop
? Disability wheelchair basket ball
? Awareness campaign on building and transport to be accessible(public and private)
? Supported awareness procurement workshop for people with disability

2.8.7 The first citizens of Mbombela
The municipality has compiled a data base for elderly persons with an intension to create a platform for
aged people to be able to engage the municipality in terms of their issues. Thus far according to the
municipal data base there are 22 359 old age persons within the municipal area. The municipality’s
programmes on the first citizens are as follows:
? HIV/AIDS workshop
? Rights and Safety of Elderly people
? Masibuyele Emasimini programme
? Elderly Exchange Experiential programme
? Women’s Day Celebration
? 16 Days of Activism

2.8.8 Traditional Healers
The municipality is in a process of compiling a data base for Traditional Healers to create a platform for
them to raise their issues in the municipality, also for the alignment of HIV/AIDS related issues.
The municipality will be coordinating and facilitating programmes for all target groups to fast track
development of the previously disadvantaged groups. In making sure that issues of Transversal
Services are well mainstreamed, there will be strategic planning on Transversal issues.
2.9 LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (LED)
2.9.1 Introduction
Local Economic Development (LED) is an approach towards economic development that allows and
encourages local people to work together to achieve sustainable economic growth and development,
thereby bringing economic benefits and improved quality of life for all residents within a specific local
area. It is an on-going process, rather than a single project or a series of steps to follow. It involves
identifying and using local resources, ideas and skills to stimulate economic growth and development.
The aim of LED is to create employment opportunities for local residents, alleviate poverty and
redistribute resources and opportunities to the benefit of all local residents. This section outline the
municipality strategy on local economic development.
2.9.2 Mission statement for the LED
The vision for the municipality is to be a “City of Excellence”. In order to attain this vision, the mission
statement for the LED strategy is as follows:
112
“Together in partnership, stimulating economic development by providing efficient service
delivery, meeting the needs of local communities and creating an enabling environment for
business development, economic growth and employment creation”
2.9.3 LED strategy objectives
In order to achieve the municipal vision and LED mission, the following five (5) development objectives
have been identified:
? Development Objective 1: An Efficient and Enabling Municipality with Exceptional Infrastructure
? Development Objective 2: An Inclusive Municipal Economy
? Development Objective 3: An Innovative and Technologically Advanced Municipality
? Development Objective 4: An Education and Skills Development Orientated Municipality
? Development Objective 5: An Environmentally Friendly and Tourism Centred Municipality
2.9. 4 Economic status of the municipality
2.9.4.1 Economic growth
Figure 2.9.4.1 indicates the economic growth rate between 2003 and 2013 in Mpumalanga, Ehlanzeni
DM and MLM. Since 2007 Mbombela has experienced a decreasing growth rate with slight
improvements in growth in 2010 and 2012. In 2010, the mining sector, the trade sector and the
transport sector all contributed considerably to the local economy while in 2012; there was an increase
in the contribution made by the agricultural sector as well as the utilities sector. Before the economic
downturn (2007-2009), the average growth for MLM was approximately 6% while after the economic
downturn (2009- present) MLM only grows at 2% meaning that it has not fully recovered from the
recession. Before the economic downturn MLM also experienced higher growth rates than the Province
and the District.
Figure 2.9.4.1 Economic Growth Compared to District and Province, 2003 – 2013
(Source: Quantec Research Database & Urban-Econ Calculations, 2014)
113
The sectors that contribute the most to the GVA of MLM include:
? Finance and business sector (22%)
? Manufacturing (17%)
? General government services (17%)
? Trade and accommodation (13%)
Mbombela (town) is the capital of Mpumalanga and is situated closely to Swaziland and Mozambique; it
is therefore not surprising that finance and business services and trade sectors contribute considerably
to the local economy as many consumers travel to Mbombela for their shopping and business needs.
2.9.4.2 Sectoral performance
Table 2.9.4.1 below discusses each economic sector and its performance in MLM in brief. Based on
this Table, it is evident that some sectors in MLM, some sectors contribute significantly to the local
economy and has shown good growth over the last ten years.
It is evident that the economy of Mbombela has not yet recovered from the economic downturn in 2008.
Many of the sectors are growing at much lower rates than before 2009. It is therefore necessary the
projects within MLM stimulate sectors so that there can be an increase in economic growth.
The sectors with very low growth rates but still make a significant contribution to the local economy
include:
? Manufacturing
? Trade and accommodation
? Finance and business services

Comment
Agriculture 5% 4% 2% 4% Agriculture in Mbombela contributes little to the local economy compared to other
sectors but due to the ideal location of MLM in terms of exports, tourism, and
trade and the opportunities in this sector for employment creation, the agriculture
sector has lots of potential for development. New developments such as the
Fresh Produce Market will have a positive effect on the local sector by providing
smaller, local farmers easier access to a market.
Mining 3% 3% 5% 1% The mining sector does not contribute much to the local economy due to lack of
commodities to mine, however, the mining of sand provides opportunities for
brick making and other construction uses.
Manufacturing 19% 17% 3% 0% Growth in this sector is declined in recent years but manufacturing in MLM has
potential to expand. This sector can contribute to the trading exports, increase
exports from MLM and stimulate the transport industry.
Utilities 2% 2% 2% 0% The utilities sector in MLM has fluctuating growths and makes little contribution to
the local economy. With new energy technologies (e.g. wind, solar); local
municipalities are open to exploring innovative ways for efficient energy use.
MLM can explore and invest in energy infrastructure for short and long term,
growing this sector will also create job opportunities
Construction 3% 3% 6% 2% The construction sector has shown high average growth rates the last ten years
and more developments in the local municipality will expand this sector and
create the potential for new employment opportunities. The building of large
projects such as the Fresh Produce Market, the high court and legal chambers
and the ICC provide opportunities for employment and growth of this sector.
Trade and 15% 13% 2% 1% It should be noted that, as trade is a sector which derives its demand from other

Comment
Accommodation sectors, its growth can be attributed to growth in sectors such as manufacturing,
construction and tourism. Therefore the growth of other sectors will cause the
trade sector to grow. The future ICC development will have a positive effect on
this sector in terms of employment an increased demand for consumable goods.
Transport and
Communication
12% 10% 2% 2% An enabling environment for growth in other sectors includes a good transport
and road network. When the roads are poor and the railway network is weak, it
has a negative effect on investment in the area as investor would rather choose
different locations with more efficient transport linkages
Finance and
Business
Services
18% 22% 6% 2% This is the most prominent sector in MLM. As other sectors achieve growth, the
benefits of that growth will also be experienced in the tertiary sector such as
Finance, insurance and trade. Growth in the finance sector is important for
access to funding by entrepreneurs and SMME’s.
Community
Services Sector
9% 9% 4% 3% Growth in community services indicates self-sufficiency and independence of
communities to create own economic opportunities, therefore an enabling
environment (basic infrastructure & services, communication technology,
linkages to economic nodes, active corridors and training facilities) need to be
created to allow communities to function independently
Government
Services Sector
15% 17% 5% 3% Government investments drive economic development. Prioritisation should to be
given to growing sectors such as finance and business, trade and manufacturing
to further increase their growth and in turn this will trigger an improvement in
other sectors.

2.9.4.3 Sectoral employment
Figure 2.9.4.3 illustrates the growth rate for formal employment in Mpumalanga, Ehlanzeni DM and
MLM between 2003 and 2013. Mbombela experienced relatively high employment growth rates
except for the period between 2008 and 2010. During this period, many sectors had to lay off workers,
especially in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Figure 2.9.4.3: Formal Employment Growth, 2003 – 2013
(Source: Quantec Research Database & Urban-Econ Calculations, 2014)
The sectors that contribute the most to local employment are as follows:
? Government services (22%)
? Finance and business services (17%)
? Trade and accommodation (17%)
? Community services (16%)
2.9.4.4 Level of concentration: Trees index
The Tress Index is a measurement of a region’s economic diversification. If the index is zero it
indicates that the region’s economy is completely diversified, but the closer the index moves to 100
that shows the economy is much more vulnerable to exogenous factors such as climatic conditions
and price fluctuations, and that the economy is considered to be more concentrated.
MLM is a diversified local economy with a Tress Index of 48 (see Table 2.9.4.4). The Mbombela local
economy depends primarily on the government and community services sector as well as the finance
and business sector as well as the trade sector.

2.9.4.5 Comparative advantage: location quotient
This subsection aims at revealing the sectors in the study area economy that have a comparative
advantage. Having a competitive advantage is not the same as having a comparative advantage. In
the case of a competitive advantage the definition stems from the possession of a unique set of
various assets (includes natural resources, human resources, locational advantages etc.) what gives
the area/region a competitive edge over other areas.
To have a comparative advantage means that this economy has the ability to render or produce a
product or service more effectively and efficiently, than its counterparts. The element that determines
the comparative advantage of a region is the Location Quotient (LQ) this is used mainly to determine
the levels of concentration within the study area. The industry groups that dominate a specific area
will have a higher LQ and vice versa.
The calculation used to determine the Location Quotient (LQ) in this analysis is as follows:
118
Table 2.9.4.5a: Location Quotient Interpretation
LQ Label Interpretation
Less than 0.75 Low
Local needs are not being met by the resident sector. The region is importing
goods and services in this particular sector.
0.75 – 1.24 Medium
Most of local needs are being met by the resident sector. The region is both
importing and exporting goods and services in the sector.
1.24 – 5.00 High
The sector is serving needs beyond the sector, exporting goods and services
from this sector.
More than 5.00
Very
High
This is an indication of a very high level of local dependence on a sector,
typically a “single-industry” community.
Table 2.9.4.5b: Location Quotient, 2013
Sector LQ Label
Agriculture 0.95 Medium
Mining 0.17 Low
Manufacturing 0.93 Medium
Utilities 0.41 Low
Construction 1.13 Medium
Trade & Accommodation 1.10 Medium

Finance and business services 1.35 High
Community Services 1.23 Medium
Government Services 1.23 Medium
(Source: Urban-Econ calculations based on Quantec Research Database, 2014)
Relative to Mpumalanga, MLM has a high comparative advantage in the finance sector. MLM has a
medium comparative advantage in all other sectors except the mining sector and the utilities sector.
2.9.5 LED objectives
Each of the five (5) objectives will be defined and discussed below, indicating potential projects as
well as important issues that are prevalent in MLM which will have an effect on the successful
implementation of the Mbombela LED Strategy.
2.9.5.1 Development objective 1: an efficient and enabling municipality with
exceptional infrastructure
An efficient and enabling municipality is dependent on the following points:
119
Proper internal municipal capacity: this means that the Municipality must have adequate
staff with sufficient skills to ensure that the Municipality can function at its optimal level
Service delivery & infrastructure: the Municipality is responsible for providing water,
electricity and sanitation services to the communities in MLM. These services are necessary
for any new developments and assists in creating an enabling environment to attract new
investments.
Municipal planning: Policies and by-laws of MLM should be able to create an environment
that is conducive of growth, that promotes public private partnerships and that is favourable
towards private investment in the MLM economy. LED is only successful and sustainable if
the private and public sector strives towards development and the municipality should thus be
encouraging towards such partnerships and private development in its policies and strategies.
Accountability and Transparency: Accountability and transparency is necessary to create
confidence in the local municipality not only for local communities but also for businesses and
future investors (Batho Pele Principles)
The provision of electricity, water, sanitation and the availability of a good road network form the basis
of any economic development. Road development depends in the necessary funds, space and other
environmental factors. Limited space for the expansion of roads in MLM is a very important factor to
consider when planning for new developments. Roads need to be widened to be able to hold to traffic
volumes but road reserves are too small for the required width or nonexistent due to uncontrolled
human settlement in some areas.
In order for new development to take place in the Nsikazi corridor, formal, permanent roads are
needed. Currently, the gravel roads need high levels of maintenance due to the damage caused by
seasonal rain in the area.
MLM will also be responsible to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place to be able to
provide services to new developments such as the National Fresh Produce Market, the Mpumalanga
High Court and business chambers, and the International Conference Centre (ICC) as well as the
University of Mpumalanga.
2.9.5.1.1 Municipal Branding
The branding of MLM plays an important role in being an efficient municipality in the sense that
branding is all about communication with the public. Residents in MLM should know that by living in
the ‘municipality of excellence’ that they a have access to proper service delivery and infrastructure.
Not only is branding important for creating an image of unity for Mbombela citizens but also for future
investors. The MLM brand should invoke confidence in the municipality and the services it provides to
businesses. Branding of a municipality should highlight the assets of the municipality and area as well
as the services the municipality provides, not create an unrealistic image.
In order to reach this development objective of MLM the following should occur:
Internal human resource management:
o Internal skills development programme
o Having the people with the right skills in the necessary positions
Decrease service delivery backlogs:
120
o Focus on water provision and sanitation in areas with the highest need
o Building new substations for electricity provision
Provision of infrastructure:
o Precinct plans as well as infrastructure management strategies
o Building roads in areas identified for development in precinct plans and reducing the
amount of gravel roads in the municipality
o Upgrading and widening of roads which have large traffic volumes to provide better
traffic flow and reduce accidents
o Public transport infrastructure (taxi ranks and bus terminals)
o Establishing collaborative partnerships in order to enhance the capabilities of the
Municipality in terms of infrastructure provision
Developing practical implementable municipal strategies and programmes
Support for City Improvement Districts (CID's)
Problems that must be overcome in order to realise this goal include:
A critical lack of basic services in areas such as Mahukule A, Mahukube, Lundi and Nsikazi
New developments will need proper infrastructure for service delivery
Municipal funds must be allocated to prioritised projects and activities
Internal skills development programmes should have a specific focus to ensure that skills
gaps can be appropriately filled
Staff in the municipality should be used where they can be most effective
There should be coordination between departments to ensure a unified focus for the
development of municipality.
In many areas of Mbombela, there is infrastructure and basic service provision which is not up
to standard
Crime is a problem in many areas of the municipality
Electricity theft is a major problem within MLM
2.9.5.2 Development objective 2: an inclusive municipal economy
In order for economic growth in MLM to be sustainable an inclusive economy is essential. An inclusive
economy in MLM would mean that there are no barriers to economic opportunity in the local economy
whether it is geographic or social.
An inclusive economy in MLM would thus mean:
Access to health and education facilities
Access to infrastructure (transport, energy, communication)
Access to government services
An incentivised private sector and partnerships between the private and public sector to
enable to create new economic opportunities
A diversified local economy
121
An enabling environment for the creation of economic opportunities
No barriers to entering the local economy of Municipality (spatial and socio-economic
barriers)
Potential projects towards this development objective include:
Creation of new employment opportunities through the development of value chains in certain
sectors to enhance the value-added procedures within MLM (decreasing imports and
increasing final product exports) by means of cluster and corridor development.
Promoting economic activity and in rural areas by providing basic services, infrastructure and
creating an enabling environment for investment
Skills development programmes so that the unemployed can acquire the necessary skills to
be employed in the jobs that are being created by the LED strategy
Transforming the local informal sector
Aligning LED projects with the spatial planning of MLM
Job linkage centre
Re-establishment of MEDA
SMME support in rural areas (SMME incubator)
Enterprise development strategy
Problems that should be investigated before implementing projects in this development objective
include:
Lack of coordination between IDP, LED and SDF
Lack of communication between the municipality, local communities and the private sector
Large informal sectors in rural areas
Majority of the population lives far away from economic opportunities
Lack of compliance and administering of compliance of the local legislative framework in rural
and informal settlements
Creating an inclusive MLM economy is a long term goal and ideally development should focus on the
economic nodes in the municipality from which corridor and cluster development will follow, to
ultimately be an inclusive economy. The first phase of developing an inclusive economy would be to
create an enabling environment (Development Goal 1) with a focus on roads and transport
development, not only of goods but of people as well. A large obstacle for creating an inclusive
economy in MLM is the distance between employees and their place of employment.
122
Diagram 2.9.5.2: Phased Inclusive Economy Development
Mbombela is a regional activity node and ongoing maintenance and revitalisation of this node shoul d
take place through the development of an inclusive Municipal Economy. Development should take
first take place in the following 1
st
order and 2
nd
order nodal areas as identified in the SDF (2012):
White River, Hazyview, KaNyamazane, Msogwaba, Kabokweni, Swalala and Matsulu. Once the
nodal areas have been development, there should be cluster and corridor development to other areas
in Mbombela. Following this development principle can in the long run lead to an inclusive municipal
economy.
Phase 1: Infrastructure, Roads and Transport
This phase depends on Goal 1 as well as the availability of a public transport sector. Many residents
of MLM live far away from the economic opportunities and make use of public transport to get to these
locations. Public transport in MLM is predominantly the use of bus or taxi services. There are bus
routes from numerous rural areas to the nodal points (Mbombela, White River, Hazyview etc.). The
transport of goods in MLM is mostly done by trucks; the R40 as well as the N4 are important routes in
terms of product transfers. The large volumes of trucks, busses and private vehicles in MLM make
road safety very important. The roads that are used by public transport systems as well as the bus
terminal should be focus points for development as these roads experience large numbers of traffic
volumes every day. Investigating the possibility of rail as a form of public transport can also be
explored.

Phase 2: Nodal Development
The sectoral overview and opportunity analysis in previous sectors indicates in which sectors there
are development potential. It is therefore necessary to link the appropriate sectors to the areas in
which their development will be the most beneficial in terms of growth and employment.
The following sectors where identified for development in MLM:
Agriculture
Manufacturing
Utilities
Trade
Tourism
The Table below indicates potential sector development projects based on information from the
enonomic analysis and economic potential analysis.

This project can be in the form of a community project where
organic produce are produced for local markets as well as
exports.
2. Macadamia nut and oil
production
This project would entail establishing new macadamia nut
farms to produce nuts for consumption as well a plant to
produce macadamia nut oil.
3. Compost manufacturing from
farm waste (SMME)
This project would follow the macadamia nut farm project where
shells of macadamia nuts can be used to produce compost for
the use of the farm as well as selling to the local markets.
4. Aquaculture A community fresh water fish farm can promote SMME
development and employment in rural areas of MLM.

6. Packaging plant for fruit
exports (KMIA)
Establishing an export market through KMIA for fruits and
vegetables would require a packaging plant near the airport
where produce can be specifically packed according to the
requirements for exports markets.
7. Juice extraction (citrus,
mango)
This project entails establishing a facility where juice can be
extracted from local citrus fruits and mangoes for the local and
export market as a way of adding value to the local agricultural
sector.
8. Production of essential oil
from citrus peel
Citrus fruits are a very prominent crop in MLM; this project
would entail producing essential oil form citrus peel that would
be normally be waste in the production of other citrus products
such as juice.
9. Cosmetics from essential oils This project links with the production of producing essential oils.
This project develops the citrus value chain by producing
cosmetics and soaps from local essential oils extracted from
citrus peel.
10. Eco-friendly packaging
material
This project entails producing boxes and other packaging
materials from recycled paper and plastic items as collected
124

from local recycling projects.
11. Food processing for exports This project can link with the organic food production project
where organic produce as processed and sold for the export
market (dried, juice, sauces etc.)
12. Furniture production This project would provide local communities or SMMEs the
opportunity to learn skills and produce furniture from the wood
of the local forestry industry.
13. Arts & crafts manufacturing
from recycled items
This project links with local recycling projects whereby arts and
crafts from tins, plastic or glass can be produced for the local
tourism market.

14. Solar panel street lights
installation
As a way to save electricity, street lights within Mbombela can
be powered by solar panels.
15. Solar geysers in new
housing developments
New housing developments for local residents should make use
of solar geysers as a way to save energy
16. Business, schools and
household recycling programme
This project entails having special bins or bags for recyclable
materials in schools, local business areas and households as
well as a plant where materials can be sorted to be distributed
to projects for manufacturing (compost, crafts or packaging
materials)
17. Harvesting rain water in
communities without water and
new business developments
Water availability is a concern in MLM and the provision of
water tanks to harvest rain water in communities can help
decrease service delivery backlogs.
18. Programme to encourage
businesses and households to
change to energy saving light
bulbs
This project can be in the form of a marketing campaign to
enlighten households and business about the importance of
saving energy and through this campaign encourage local
households and business to use energy saving light bulbs
where possible.

19. Informal Trade Management
Programme
Establishing a system to manage informal trade and
establishing ‘markets’ which specifically cater for informal
traders is important tools that can help manage informal trade
in MLM.
20. SMME retail development Creating SMME business incubators which are in the business
of trade in rural areas
Tourism * See Development Goal #5
Phase 3: Corridor and Cluster Development
The third phase of creating an inclusive economy is corridor and cluster development. White River is
an existing forestry cluster while Hazyview is an agriculture cluster and Mbombela is a regional
commercial cluster. Value chain development will grow existing clusters and create opportunities for
new local corridors which will promote a more inclusive economy as employment opportunities will not
be limited to the nodal areas.
125
2.9.5.3 Development objective 3: an innovative and technologically advanced
municipality
Technological advancement can be in the form of service delivery, communication, energy provision
and innovative manufacturing incubators. By ensuring that MLM is an innovative and technologically
advanced municipality can mean that processes, service delivery and economic growth can occur at
an optimal level and that there is an enabling environment for technologically advanced cluster
developments. Partnerships between private sector and public sector are essential for technological
advancements such as broadband and Wi-Fi internet connections in public areas. MLM can become
a technologically advanced municipality through:
Creating functioning ICT infrastructure (broadband connectivity)
Skills development in technological changes in certain sectors, for instance agriculture or
manufacturing
Technologically advanced industrial parks
A computer literate population
Using technology to improve service delivery
Projects towards this development goal can include:
Providing internet connectivity to local schools and skills development institutions
Wi-Fi Hotspots in the CBD and places such as libraries
Community computer literate program
E-services
‘Smart’ crime fighting and emergency management
Mobile internet cafes in rural areas
Improving the municipal call centre to be available 24 hours
Problems in MLM in terms of access to internet and computers:
An estimated 32% of the people in MLM have access to the internet, of which 57% access the
internet via their cell phones and only 17% have access at home.
Access to a computer is limited to 20% of the MLM population
Rural areas in MLM should not be excluded from technological advancements (inclusive
economy).
2.9.5.4 Development objective 4: an education and skills development orientated
municipality
A university city can be defined as a city whose economy is closely related with the activities at the
university and supported by university structures; this would typically include university clinics,
libraries, business incubators etc. A university city is typically a city whose population is dominated by
the university population. Many university cities are also centres for technological research and
innovative start-ups. University cities in South Africa include Stellenbosch and Potchefstroom.
126
Conflict can easily arise between local government and higher education facilities, especially if there
are a large number of students. Issues that normally arise are due to housing concerns, noise levels,
crime concerns and traffic congestions. It is therefore very important that there are open lines of
communication between local government and the higher education facilities.
MLM has a number of higher education facilities, especially in Mbombela. These education facilities
include: a UNISA office, the Ehlanzeni FET College, a Tshwane University of Technology (TUT)
Campus etc. as well as the development of the University of Mpumalanga.
The University of Mpumalanga’s main campus is situated at the Lowveld College of Agriculture and
has two other campuses; the hospitality school in KaNyamazane and the Siyabuswa Education
Campus. The Education Campus is not located within the borders of MLM.
MLM will not be a traditional university city where the local economy is mostly dependant on the
operations of the University but the Mpumalanga University, together with other higher education
facilities will assist to fill some of the economic and socio-economic gaps that are prevalent in the
MLM.
The Diagram below indicates the framework with which the partnership between local education
service providers, business and the local municipality can work together to work towards an education
and skills development municipality.
Diagram 2.9.5.4: Skills Development Framework
Focus points for developing MLM into an education and skills development focused municipality:
There is a large majority of the population that have a lack in education
The University will improve access to higher education for local communities
High youth unemployment rates are prevalent in MLM
The University will assist in developing the local agricultural and tourism sector
The University will create employment (temporary and permanent)
Mbombela Local Municipality
Mpumalanga University
Local Skills Development
Employment
Local Businesses Other Education and Training Facilities
127
By focussing on tourism and agriculture studies, the university can ensure growth in these
sectors
Future commercial studies at the university can be very beneficial towards to local economy
as Mbombela is the finance and business hub of the Province
Together with the municipality and other institutions, skills shortages can be addresses and
the importance of an high school education can be promoted in MLM
By working together with other education and training facilities, the University can provide
assistance in terms of accreditation of courses, guest lecturers etc.
Collaboration volunteer programmes between institutions can directly benefit local
communities
Encouraging post graduate research at higher education facilities in MLM
The municipality can assist in maximising the benefits from the University by:
Ensuring that there are basic services and infrastructure at university developments
Working together with the university to ensure that there is easy access to campus and the
necessary facilities for example, shops, libraries, book stores etc.
Collaborating with university in terms of spatial planning in areas surrounding the municipality
Creating a job linkage programme with the university and local businesses to facilitate linking
graduated with job opportunities or internships within MLM to ensure skills are retained within
the municipality
Creating a partnership with the university to create community and volunteer projects in which
students can participate and build the local community
Higher education institutions can collaborate with each other and the municipality to host
facilitate courses or classes in the rural areas
Developing a skills development centre for vocational education and training
Currently, the university is still in its development phase; with only 100 students being able to enrol for
the B(Ed) and 20 students for the Bachelor of Agriculture programme. There is also space available
for 20 students in for the Diploma in Hospitality Management programme. The municipality can
therefore at this stage only ensure that adequate infrastructure is provided to the University and that
the development of the university is part of MLM spatial planning. As the university develops en
grows, the municipality must collaborate with the University and encourage their participation in local
economic development.
Skills development should be in those sectors which have been identified for development as
well as the prominent sectors in MLM.
Not only is it important to improve skills in MLM to ensure that sectors have adequately skilled
employees and that there is a larger proportion of the population who have higher education
but there should also be a focus on primary and high schools and the importance of obtaining
a National Senior Certificate.
MLM can assist in ensuring that schools are an environment constructive to learning by
ensuring that there are functioning services like running water and electricity. The municipality

can also assist in ensuring that schools have books, the necessary equipment and adequate
libraries to help learners make the most of their education.
2.9.5.5 Development objective 5: an environmentally friendly and tourism centred
region
This development objective is based on a two pronged approach:
Diagram 2.9.5.5: Development Objective 5 – Approach
a) Environmentally Friendly Municipality
Developing MLM into an environmentally friendly municipality means that the municipality creates a
favourable environment for recycling and waste management activities; encourages sustainable
production practices and promotes the use of alternative energy sources.
MLM can be transformed into an environmentally friendly municipality by:
Promoting the importance of ‘reduce, re-use and recycle’ in local communities
Encouraging new developments to use products such as solar panels for electricity, solar
geysers, energy saving light bulbs and environmentally friendly building materials and water
tanks to harvest rain water.
Encouraging businesses and households to use energy and water more efficiently and to
reduce waste
Creating more environmentally friendly practices within the day-to-day functioning of the
Municipality.
Utilising alternative energy sources to reduce infrastructure backlogs in rural communities
(electricity and solar geysers)
Reducing the carbon footprint of the Municipality
Lobbying nationally for power to be put back into the grid by residential generation options
Tourism Promotion
Objective: An Environmentally Friendly and
Tourism Centred Region
Environmentally Friendly
Municipality
Regional Conservation and
Management of Biodiversity,
Environmental and Natural
Resources
129
Potential projects:
Recycling programmes (involve schools, businesses and local communities)
Manufacture products from recycled materials for the tourism sector
Organic waste to compost programme
Alternative energy for rural communities
Support for CIDs/keep Mbombela clean projects
Waste to energy production
Advertisement campaign on recycling, water and electricity use in MLM to inspire the local
communities and businesses to become more environmentally conscious
Community involvement in environmental protection is essential but unfortunately very poor waste
management systems are in place in Mbombela; 60% of residents use their own refuse dumps to
dispose of waste which can have very negative environmental impacts. Addressing this issue should
be a priority while transforming MLM into an environmentally friendly municipality.
b) Conservation and Management of Biodiversity, Environmental and Natural Resources.
The natural environment of MLM and surrounding
areas play a very important role in the local
economy of the region. The region is renowned
for the Kruger National Park as well as other
natural tourist attractions. Conservation and
sustainable agricultural methods must thus be of
priority to the region.
The increase in the population, especially in MLM will have a negative effect on the natural
environment. Deforestation, overgrazing, erosion and water pollution as a result of informal human
settlements can all have negative effects on the environment which in turn can have a negative result
on the regional tourism industry and the rural agricultural sector.
It is therefore necessary that local government, tourism stakeholders and the local community work
together to protect the eco-systems and natural environment of the region as it can form valuable
linkages to the tourism sector of the region and assist in creating new employment opportunities for
the local communities.
Potential projects for conservation and tourism promotion in the region includes:
Sustainable agriculture programme in rural areas
Management of rivers, streams, wetlands etc.
Addressing illegal sand mining in rural areas
130
It is very important to educate local communities on the importance of conservation and sustainable
agricultural practises. Not only for its affect on tourism but also on the livelihoods of future generations
c) Tourism Promotion
As previously mentioned the natural environment of MLM as well as in the surrounding areas play an
important role in local tourism development; but this is not the only aspect to tourism in MLM.
The following types of tourism should be developed and promoted within MLM:
Adventure tourism
Cultural tourism
Cross-border shopping tourism (Mozambique and Swaziland)
Events tourism (ICC development, Mbombela Stadium, local festivals, etc.)
Rural/township tourism
Potential projects in terms of tourism development thus include:
Developing existing conservation areas in MLM into tourism attractions
Working together with other local municipalities and tourism stakeholders to create regional
tourism routes and packages
Promoting community tourism in areas surrounding the Kruger National Park (rural tours,
local arts & crafts manufacturing etc.)
Creating a Mbombela Tourism Development Strategy which will promote the different types of
tourism which are mentioned above in MLM as well as marketing an branding of MLM as a
tourist destination
d) Tourism Branding
Branding is an important tool to market an area to potential tourists. MLM falls within the branding
area of Kruger Lowveld Tourism who promotes tourism in the following towns and surrounding areas:
Hoedspruit
Schoemanskloof
Bushbuckridge
eManzana (Badplaas)
Hazyview
Malelane
White River
Komatipoort
Mbombela
Kruger National Park area
131
It is important when branding MLM as a tourist destination and
a gateway to the region, to collaborate and align with existing
branding of the area – such as the Kruger Lowveld brand. By
working together with this brand, together with the Kruger
Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism (KLCBT), tourism
linkages to other areas can be strengthened and there can be
collective tourism promotion. It is also important to create a
more aligned branding strategy between private and public
sectors. ‘Kruger Lowveld’ should be used to attract tourists to
all the activities and attractions in the area and ‘the city of
excellence’ should be true to its description in terms of
services delivery and infrastructure, safety and cleanliness to
ensure tourists to stay longer and return to MLM.
2.9.6 LED projects
Each project identified in the MLM LED is classified according to the following of types of projects:
Quick win projects: These projects can be implemented within a maximum of 6 months and
show a quick success. This will ensure that awareness of the strategy is raised, the
commitment of stakeholders is proven and assist stimulate the momentum required to
implement a wide reaching economic strategy.
Anchor projects: These projects are flagship projects aimed primarily at facilitating and
attaining economic development. These projects should be functionally focused and will
represent the primary marketable development drivers in the study area. These projects are
generally aimed at the medium to long term.
Supportive projects: These projects will play a supporting role for both the catalytic as well
as the community need projects. An example in this regard could be upgrading of roads.
Identified need projects: The needs identified by the local community in the study area are
as important as any other project and thus also require facilitation.
Skills linkage projects: These projects relate to opportunities of local economic development
service provision such as municipal labour-intensive projects where local community
members with the appropriate skills can be employed or up-skilled.
132
The Table below indicates the priority of each of the LED projects as well as the type of project.

2.9.7 LED forum
The LED Forum is the backbone for implementation of LED projects as the stakeholders will analyse
the current economic challenges in the municipality and how to address these challenges, in their
specialised field. The forum plays an important role in ensuring community members and local
stakeholders are informed of economic happenings in their local areas and how to benefit and
contribute to projects.
The main objective to establishing a LED Forum is to ensure:
The participation and input from the local community,
Businesses and other stakeholders within the local municipality that will enable co-ordination
between local stakeholders,
Mobilisation of resources, obtaining commitment as well as establishing and maintaining a
common vision.
134
The forum operates in a partnership approach as indicated in the Diagram below:
Figure 2.9.6: LED Forum
These forums are important and critical tools required in bridging the communication gap and
obtaining a common understanding between the local municipality and the community at large.
Furthermore these forums also provide the platform for the Local Municipality to form partnerships
with the different stakeholders.
In general a LED Forum consists of the private, public and community sectors. MLM should also seek
to involve a greater number of representatives from various government departments. This will
increase access to resources as well as provide a different perspective on ensuring and enabling
economic growth within the local municipality.
2. 10 SPATI AL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK (SDF)
In 2012, the municipality approved its 2030 Spatial Development Framework to guide and informs
land development and management. The approved SDF gives spatial effect to multi-sectoral projects
identified in the IDP as well as assist the municipality to co-ordinate the implementation of the various
sector plans.
This section gives a summary of key spatial aspects and development indicators that will inform the
development of the municipality.
2.10.1 SPATI AL ANALYSIS
This section outlines biophysical factors that influence where and how people in the municipality settle
and organise themselves in space.
135
2.10.1.1 Climate
Mbombela is characterised by a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and warm summers. The
average daily temperature fluctuates from 6 ?C in winter (June and July) to 29 ?C in summer (January,
February). The average rainfall varies from 10mm during the winter (June, July and August) to
120mm during summer (November, December, January and February). The highest average rainfall
is recorded in December and January. The geographic distribution of rainfall is as follows:
? The highest rainfall (800-1500mm) is recorded in the areas surrounding Ngodwana,
Kaapsehoop, and Elandshoek to the west and in the area north-west of White River town.
? The Crocodile River catchment area and a north-south belt, including White River, Sabie
River, Longmere Dam, Klipkoppie Dam and Da Gama Dam fall within a 700–800mm rainfall
zone.
? The eastern areas receive the lowest annual rainfall between 400–700mm.
2.10.1.2 Geology
The geology types occurring in the municipal area can be summarised as follows:
? A large portion of Mbombela is underlain with the Granite Group which covers most of the
central, northern and eastern areas.
? Highly permeable and erodible, colluvial sands and residual soils overlay the granitic bedrock
(Potassic Gneiss and Migmatite) in the Kanyamazane area.
? The western part has a variety of geology groups including Shale, Dolomite, Quartzite,
Andesite, Ultramatic rocks and Gneiss. Dolomite rocks give rise to caustic features; the most
notable in Mbombela is the 1.8km long Sudwala Caves.
? Hazyview is underlain by Granodiorite and Matsulu is underlain by Gneiss.
Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and/or industrial
purposes. These include precious and base metals, non-metallic mineral, construction grade stone,
petroleum minerals, coal and water.
Minerals and metal deposits deriving from the geology groups in Mbombela include gold, chrysotile
(asbestos) and limestone, mainly located along the escarpment in the western part. The central,
northern and eastern sections of Mbombela do not contain any minerals worthy of exploitation.
Mbombela has limited mining resources worthy of driving the economy as compared to other
municipalities within Mpumalanga that have gold and coal mines. The mining deposits are considered
noteworthy:
? The mine north of Kaapschehoop is continuously producing asbestos.
? Crusher quarries exist at Alkmaar, Karino, White River and Hazyview.
? In the western part there are various localities where gold deposits occur and where it has
already been exploited.
? Two mines situated north and north-east of Kaapsehoop respectively, are abandoned.
? Small scale illegal sand mining is taking place from river beds, mainly in the Nsikaz area
(Gutshwa River).
136
2.10.1.3 Topography
Mbombela lies on the eastern edge of the Drakensberg mountain range. The area can be divided into
three distinct physiographic regions based on the north-south orientation of the drakensburg mountain
range, namely, highveld, escarpment and lowveld.
The topography ranges from mountainous areas in the western parts to gently sloping areas in the
eastern parts. The area falls from a height of approximately 1200m above sea level in the southern-
western part to 350m in the north-eastern parts. A slope analysis, based on slope data received from
the National Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, presents areas with slopes that vary
between ?2% (level to very gently slope) and ?20 %( steep slopes). Accordingly, most of the
municipality consists of steep slopes.
2.10.1.4 Hydrology
Mbombela is situated within two sub-catchments that constitute the main Nkomati River catchment
area. The two sub-catchments are the Crocodile River catchment area and the Sabie-Sand
catchment area. The Crocodile River runs in a west-east direction across the middle of the
municipality and the Sabie River runs in a west-east direction along the northern boundary of the
municipality. The Elands River, running south-east to north-west, is the main tributary flowing into the
Crocodile River. The North Sand River, running north-south, is the main tributary flowing into the
Sabie River. Other rivers of note include Ngodwana River, Nels River, White River, White Waters
River, Gutshwa River, Nsikazi River, Houtbosloop River, Lupelule River, Rietspruit River and
Blinkwater River.
The main dams in Mbombela are Longmere, Ngodwana, Da Gama, Klipkopje, Primkop, Nsikazana,
Friedenheim, Kwena (situated outside Mbombela in Thaba Chweu), Witklip (situated outside
Mbombela in Thaba Chweu) and Inyaka (situated outside Mbombela in Bushbuckridge).
2.10.1.5 Geohydrology
The Kanyamazane area is underlain by a granite aquifer which is estimated to store approximately
5000m of water per km² and receives ±25 000m³ per annum of recharge from rainfall. Large
exploitation of groundwater is limited due to the physical hydraulic nature of granite aquifers.
Groundwater quality is good although contamination is taking place. Groundwater drainage is in an
easterly direction. The area to the north of Mbombela is typically underlain by un-oxidised residual
dolomite soils however some of the areas appear to be oxidised and as a consequence are likely to
be very permeable. Other areas may have sinkholes forming as a result of the poor drainage and
where the dolomite rock is less than 6 meter deep.
2.10.1.6 Vegetation
The most dominant vegetation type is the Legogote Sour Bushveld, covering most of the western,
central and northern parts. The Highveld regions in the west is characterised by grassland vegetation.
Typical plants include red-hot pokers, pineapple, lilies, scillas, gladioli, watsonias, brunsvigias and
numerous terrestrial orchards and summer rainfall proteas. The Lowveld region is characterised by
the Croc Gorge Mountain Bushveld, Malalane Mountain Bushveld and Pretoriuskop Sour Bushveld.
137
The Escarpment is characterised by the Northern Escarpment Dolomite Grasslands, Steenkamsberg
Montane Grassland, Northern Escarpment Dolomite Grassland and Long Tom Pass Montane.
2.10.1.7 Biodiversity
Mpumalanga Biodiversity Conservation Plan (MBCP) is a spatial plan that groups the province’s
biodiversity assets into six conservation categories based on the measured distribution of hundreds of
biodiversity and ecological features throughout the province. The MBCP for Mpumalanga was
superimposed on the municipal area. The following is evident from the plan:
? Protected areas such as Kruger National Park, Botanicl Garden,
? Irreplaceable areas mainly include the Crocodile Gorge and western escarpment areas
stretching from Elandshoek to Kaapsehoop, with a few patches scattered in Schoemanskloof.
? Highly significant areas are predominantly found in the western part of the municipality. It is
also found, to a lesser extent, around Barberton Nature Reserve, at Luphisi, Mpakeni, Numbi
and between White River and Rocky Drift.
? Important and necessary – includes an area stretching from Numbi to Legogote, an area at
Rocky Drift, an area stretching from Mataffin to Schagen and further north-east and a few
patches along the southern municipal boundary.
? Least concern – these areas are focused in the eastern part of the municipality, east of the
R40.
? No natural habitat remaining – includes the areas that are settled on, forestry areas and areas
used for irrigation purposes.
? Ecological and aquatic corridors – The Sabie and Crocodile Rivers are both categorised as
ecological and aquatic corridors.
The largest protected area is the Kruger National Park followed by the Mthethomusha Nature Reserve
situated on the border of the Kruger National Park. The plateau at Kaapsehoop is an important area
for conservation of plants, particularly herbaceous grasslands species. This area also has the third
largest breeding population of Blue Swallow in South Africa. The Crocodile Gorge has a high scenic
value and a high diversity of habitats and is considered an area of particular ecological and
conservation importance.
2.10.1.8 Agricultural capability
Agricultural land capability is the total suitability for use, in an ecologically sustainable way, for crops,
for grazing, for woodland and for wildlife. The land with a very low agricultural capability coincides with
the mountainous areas. The land with a low agricultural capability is located in the Kruger National
Park, Schoemanskloof, Ngodwana, at Pienaar and Daantjie and north-east of Legogote. The larger
extent of the municipality contains land with a medium agricultural capability. The land with a high
agricultural capability is located at Kiepersol to the north and along the Crocodile River and its
tributary to the west.The weathering of different geology types determine the type of soils (depth,
texture etc.), minerals and metals to be found in different areas, which together with other factors,
determines mining possibilities, agricultural opportunities and vegetation types.
2.10.2 STRATEGIC SPATI AL FRAMEWORK
138
The municipality’s spatial vision is to achieve sustainable development in respect of people, economy
and environment. In order to achieve the spatial vision, the municipality has identified the following 7
spatial strategies:
? Establish a Municipal Open Space System
? Protect prime and unique agricultural land
? Focus areas for land reform
? Develop and strengthen rural-based tourism
? Establish an integrated movement system
? Direct urban growth and promote compact integrated development
? Consolidate and intensifinancial year development in economic opportunity zones
The above strategies are the once that are going to guide the future development of Mbombela.
Figure 2.10.2 show the desired spatial pattern of the municipality informed by the spatial strategies.
Figure 2.10.2: The MLM strategic spatial framework
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.1 Establish a Municipal Open Space System (MOSS)
Mbombela’s geophysical features (such as mountains and plains), natural resources (such as
biodiversity and hydrological systems) and cultural landscapes are central to the way in which
residents and visitors identifinancial year with Mbombela.
People use natural and more formally developed open spaces for exercise, recreation, and cultural
and religious activities, but also derive a sense of well-being from viewing open space, or merely
139
knowing it is there to be used.In addition, by using the ecological services of nature, Mbombela
reduces some of its operating costs, e.g. reeds in wetlands help purifinancial year stormwater, and
improve river water quality.
For these resources to be used en enjoyed by present and future generations, it is critical that they
are defined and protected. Mbombela’s protection-worthy natural resources and assets will determine
where urban development should not go in the medium and longer term, and or where the impact of
development must be carefully managed. Refer to figure 2.10.2.1 for this strategy map.
Figure 2.10.2.1: Strategy 1: Establish a Municipal Open Space System (MOSS)
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.2 Protect prime and unique Agricultural land
Economic development and national food security depend on the availability of productive and fertile
agricultural land, which is consistently threatened by the demand for land for residential and industrial
development.
The Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (Act 43 of 1983) provides for the conservation of
natural agricultural resources through prevention of erosion and the destruction of water resources,
and veld protection measures. Currently the retention of productive agricultural land is administered
through the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act, 1970 (Act 70 of 1970) which controls the subdivision
of agricultural land and its use for purposes other than agriculture. In the near future the use of this
scarce resource will be regulated in terms of the Sustainable Utilisation of Agricultural Resource Bill
(SAUR). Enshrined in the SUAR is the national policy on the protection of high potential and unique
140
agricultural land (HPUAL). The Bill tasks provinces with the responsibility of ensuring that the
principles of the HPUAL policy are incorporated into municipal IDPs and SDFs.
In view of the above, the municipality will ensure that the development does not compromise the
production of prime and unique agricultural land within the municipal area. Figure 2.10.2.2 below
show the strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.2: Strategy 2: Protect prime and unique agricultural land
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.3 Focus areas for land reform
Although the municipality is not the key agent for land reform, the municipality has an obligation to
identifinancial year focus areas for land reform. The Department of Rural Development and Land
Reform should work closely with Mbombela to prepare an Area Based Plan (ABP) in order to
incorporate land and agrarian reform projects into its IDP and SDF.
This strategy aims to identifinancial year land reform focus areas in the municipality in order to
achieve the government objectives of providing tenure security that creates socio-economic
opportunities of people living and working on farms and in communal areas, providing land for
sustainable human settlements, industrial and economic development, providing efficient land use
and land administration services and providing skills development framework for agrarian land reform
to all relevant stakeholders. Figure 2.10.2.3 show the map of this strategy.
141

2.10.2.4 Develop and strengthen rural-based tourism
The scenic environment (natural resources), coupled with numerous attractions, rich cultural heritage
and Kruger National Park, being one of the top ten tourist attractions in South Africa, make Mbombela
a sought after destination to tourists. These attractions need to be consolidated into a municipal wide
tourism destination network and need to be made even more accessible. Such a network should form
an integral part of the broader Mpumalanga Tourism Growth Strategy. Refer to figure 2.10.2.4 for the
map of the strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.4: Strategy 4: Develop and strengthen rural-based tourism
142
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.5 Establish an integrated movement system
Mbombela must have a movement system that provides all residents with convenient and affordable
access to the municipality’s resources and amenities. This movement system have a profound
impact on spatial development patterns and accessibility, and hence on economic and social
opportunity. The aim of this strategy is improve mobility and linkage between the eastern and
western built-up areas of Mbombela and to promote spatial reconstruction and integration.
In line with Mbombela’s Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) and Land Use Transportation Strategy
(LUTS), the movement system cannot simply be reactive to existing demand patterns but must be
structured to cater for possible future demands. The municipality therefore will focus on taxi feeder
(line haul system), regional roads interventions, bus rapid transit system and commuter rail system.
Refer to figure 2.10.2.5 for the map of this strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.5: Strategy 5: Establish an integrated movement system
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.6 Direct urban growth and promote compact integrated development
Mbombela needs actively to pursue a compact form of development, where growth is directed
towards areas suitable for development, and away from important resource areas and hazards. The
future spatial development of the municipality needs to be efficient; needs to make the most of
existing infrastructure investments and capacities, and the resources required for the adequate
maintenance of these systems, before creating new infrastructure and maintenance demands.
Land is a scare resource in the municipality and a delicate balancing act is needed to deal with
competing needs for conservation, productive land and urban development. The municipality will
improve its efficiency and sustainability by helping to protect the environmentally sensitive land by
reducing demand for this land, making better use of the municipality’s limited resources for
infrastructure investments and maintenance and supporting more transport options, as higher
densities will provide the required thresholds to make public transport viable and offering a better,
143
more convenient lifestyle for people who cannot drive, such as eldery, very young and disable people,
as a greater number of facilities and opportunities will be accessible by foot, bicycle or public
transport.
Compact settlements will be achieved through introducing planning tools that contain the settlement
footprint (through urban edges) and encourage responsible densification (through strategic infilling
and the intensification of land uses within the existing footprint, aligned with concentrations of
economic activity, public transport, infrastructure and amenities). Refer to figure 2.10.2.6 for the map
of this strategy.
Figure 2.10.2.6: Strategy 6: Direct urban growth and promote compact integrated development
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.2.7 Consolidate and intensify development in Economic Opportunity Zones
This strategy is advocating that economic activity (formal and informal) be encouraged to locate within
economic opportunity zones across the municipality, related to the accessibility grid. These
opportunity zones will be focal points for enabling public sector infrastructure investment (information
communication technology, upgrade of roads and utility services). Public infrastructure investment
and proactive land management strategies will provide a measure of certainty and direction to private
investors.
Such economic opportunity zones should therefore serve as logical investment locations, given their
higher thresholds associated with higher densities and concentrated flows of people, are convenient
and accessible, as they are served by public transport and public amenities and facilities and are
supported by mobility routes that facilitate relative ease of movement of people and freight.
The municipality economic opportunity zones are envisaged on the accessibility grid of nodal
development and corridor development. The nodal development involves areas where a higher
intensity of land uses and activities are supported and promoted. On the other hand, corridor
144
development entails links between nodes, along which an increased intensity of development and
activities may be encouraged. Depending on the intensity of activity, the width of the strip could range
from half a street block to two or more street blocks. Refer to figure 2.10.2.7 for the map of this
strategy.

Zones

2.10.3 DESIRED SPATIAL PATTERN
The desired spatial pattern basically distinguishes between urban and rural development areas by
means of an urban edge, where rural areas are typically characterised by primary economic activities
i.e.: agriculture, agri-processing, agri-villages, road related purposes including accommodation and
vehicle related services, regional services (cemeteries, waste sites, reservoirs, electricity lines),
tourism and other uses such as quarries and mining. On the other hand, urban areas are typically
characterised by secondary and tertiary economic activity with some primary i.e.: urban agriculture,
building materials, resource extraction.
Urban-rural distinction in the municipality is made by dividing the municipality into 5 zones, where
zone 1 is mainly urban and zones 2 to 5 are mainly rural in character. Zone 1 is Urban Development
Zone (UDZ), zone 2 is Kruger National Park Conservation Zone, zone 3 is Kiepersol-White River
Agricultural Zone, zone 4 is Western Agricultural Zone and zone 5 is Central Agricultural Zone
By nature, Zones 2-5 are not “development areas”, so the interventions in these areas should be
minimized to aspects such as utilizing certain assets (e.g. high potential agricultural land to promote
intensive agriculture and environmental assets to promote tourism), creating rural service centres
where rural communities can access day-to-day services, creating rural residential settlements to
145
provide housing opportunities for people who are involved in the rural economy and ensuring
sufficient linkages between the rural and urban environments.
Each zone is briefly described below, including strategic objectives and development directives (Note:
The demarcation of these zones is conceptual and not cadastral specific). Refer to figure 2.10.3
below for the desired spatial pattern
Figure 2.10.3: MLM Desired spatial pattern
Source: MLM SDF, 2012
2.10.3.1 Urban Development Zone
Urban development zone includes all land situated within the urban edge, including existing built-up
areas, areas earmarked for future urban development (next 20 to 30 years) as well as undevelopable
land (due to topographical, environmental or any other constraints). The main objective of this zone is
to create a more compact municipality that will improve its efficiency and sustainability and to
consolidate and intensifinancial year development in economic opportunity zones as required in terms
of the spatial strategies 6 and 7 respectively.
2.10.3.2 Kruger National Park Conservation Zone
This zone is located along the length of the Kruger National Park and stretches from the northern to
the southern municipal boundary, from Sabie River to Mbombela.It includes the Methethomusha
Nature Reserve, Crocodile Gorge, Crocriver Mountain Conservancy, Legogote Mountain and the
existing rural settlements of Luphisi, Mpakeni, Sipelanyane, Buyelani, Mahukube, Mjejane, Makoko
and Phameni. Mayfern is an existing agricultural village located east of Mbombela.
146
The Sabie, Crocodile, Gutshwa and Nsikazi Rivers are the main rivers traversing this zone. Minor
districts roads, mainly gravel, characterise this zone with the exception of the N4 highway and road
R536 to Phabeni Gate.
The Maputo railway line is located in the southern part with another railway line running parallel along
the length of the KNP. Numbi and Phabeni Gates are two existing gates to the park, two alternative
gates are proposed at Makoko and another at Luphisi.
The zone aimes to achieve the internationally competitive tourism and conservation initiatives are
supported in this zone to strengthen the Tourism Biodiversity Conservation Initiative between
Swaziland and Mpumalanga; the feel and experience of the Kruger National Park is projected into the
municipality, which need to be retained and strengthened as it serves as a distinguishing feature and
has excellent marketing potential; improve access to the Kruger National Park, especially from the
Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, N4 highway and railway line running parallel to the park’s
border; exploit the tourism potential provided by the existing Kruger Park Gates and north-south
railway line running along the KNP boundary and the use of land in this zone should be in support and
complimentary to the Kruger National Park and should serve as an interface between the park and
the Urban Development Zone.
2.10.3.3 Kiepersol-White River Agricultural Zone
This area roughly stretches from Sabie River in the north to the R37 Lydenburg road in the south, the
North-Sand River in the east and the municipal boundary in the west. Commercial farming dominates
the area (mainly subtropical farms along the Sabie River and in the Kiepersol area) and forestry
plantations. The Kiepersol and Big 5 Centre provide day-to-day services to surrounding farming
communities. Sabie, North-Sand, White River, Sandspruit and Nelsriver are prominent rivers crossing
this zone including 3 dams namely Da Gama, Longmere and Klipkopje.
The area is backboned by the R40 route, which is the main road from Mbombela to Hazyview. The
R538 is a major collector road linking White River with Hazyview through Swalala. Regional access
roads include the R37 to Lydenburg and the R536 and R537 to Sabie.
Tourist developments opt to locate along the R537 road between Hazyview and Sabie, around the 3
dams and along the R538 road between White River and Legogote. The zome aims to utilise tourism
facilities for permanent or long-term residential use needs to be restricted; develop rivers, natural
forests and wetlands is restricted and shall only be allowed after legal environmental procedures have
been conformed with; promote sand mining and discourage urban encroachment.
2.10.3.4 Western Agricultural Zone
This zone is located in the western part of the municipal area, west of the R40 road and characterised
with steep slopes, high rainfall and various localities where mining took place in the past. Today this
area is dominated by commercial agriculture including forestry plantations on the higher lying areas
and intensive agriculture in the valleys along the Elands and Crocodile Rivers and their tributaries.
Rural service centres includes Ngodwana, Kaapsehoop, Elandshoek and Alkmaar.
A number of small industries have established in the area. Forestry villages are located at
Houtboschoek (SAPPI) and Berlin (Komatiland Forest). Food processing factories are located at
Barvale Farm (SAD), Solomon’s Farm and Alkmaar. Numerous tourist facilities are situated along the
N4 highway, including restaurants, tea rooms, hotels, guest houses, lodges, fruit stalls and curios
147
shops. The Sudwala Caves, Schoemanskloof and Kaapsehoop are the most prominent tourist
attractions in the area.
The N4 highway and Gauteng-Maputo railway line are the main linkages traversing the area. Other
important links include the R539 to Sabie via Sudwala caves and the Ngodwana-Kaapsehoop-
Mbombela link
The zone aim to achieve the following:
? Regional access provided by the N4 Maputo Development Corridor needs to be exploited by
focusing on strategically placed tourism developments as well as agri- and forestry industries.
The mobility function of the N4 should however not be impeded.
? The Sudwala Caves, known to be the world’s oldest dolomite caves needs to be promoted as
a tourism attraction point, together with Kaapsehoop, Schoemanskloof and surrounding
archaeological sites, heritage sites and nature reserves.
? The existing rural service centres of Kaapsehoop, Nogodwana, Elanshoek and Alkmaar
should not be viewed as focus areas for future growth.
? High potential agricultural land along the Crocodile River catchment area needs to be
protected and be used for commercial farming. Linkages should be improved to market
areas.
? Small scale downstream beneficiation of agricultural products should be actively promoted, as
these activities can contribute to the growth of the local economy.
? To optimise and further develop the agricultural, forestry and tourism potential of this area.
2.10.3.5 Central Agricultural Zone
This triangular piece of land is centred between the N4, R40 and R538 surrounded by Mbombela,
White River, Plaston, KMIA and Karino. Mountainous areas and high potential agricultural land
constitutes the area and includes developments such as Wild Fig Country Estate and Likweti Private
Game Reserve.
Prominent rivers traversing the area include White River in the east and the Crocodile River in the
south including the Primkop and Friedenheim Dams. Minor district roads are located the northern
part of this zone.
The zone aimes to achieve the regional access provided by the N4 Maputo Development Corridor,
proximity of the KMIA, R538 and R40 roads needs to be exploited by focusing on strategically placed
tourism developments as well as agri-industries; the mobility function of the N4, R538 and R40 should
be protected by any development in this zone; high potential agricultural land needs to be protected
and be used for commercial farming and land uses in this zone shall support the development
envisaged around the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and IDZ along the Karino-KMIA-
Plaston activity corridor.
2.10.4 MBOMBELA GOLDEN TRI ANGLE
The Golden Triangle also plays a role in the overall spatial development of the municipality. The
Golden Triangle has been designed in line with the 7 spatial strategies outlined in the previous section
and the National Spatial Development Perspective principle of developing the area according to its
potential. The N4 has been identified as the area with industrial potential, where as the R40 road has
148
been identified as the area with tourism potential due to the existence of Kruger National Park. The
Spatial Development Framework (SDF) that is in the process of review will give effect to the Golden
Triangle. Figure 2.10.4 below illustrates the Golden Triangle of MLM.

infrastructure, particularly water need to be provided.
2.11 RURAL DEVELOPMENT, AGRICULTURE AND LAND REFORM
Rural development linked with agriculture and land reform is a key strategic priority by all spheres of
government aimed at creating integrated and sustainable human settlements with access to basic
services, viable and sustainable agricultural and none agricultural rural-based enterprises
development geared to build the local rural economy enhance rural livelihood development and food
security.
The basis and the rationale behind the MLM rural development strategy, linked with agriculture and
land reform is informed by the following government policy provisions and promulgations:
? Integrated and Sustainable Rural Development Strategy (ISRDS)
149
? Comprehensive Rural Development Program( CRDP)
? Land Tenure Security Bill
? Agricultural Sector Plan( ASP)
? Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for SA ( ASGISA)
? Industrial Policy Action Plan 2 ( IPAP 2)
? New Growth Path (NGP)
The MLM convened an all-inclusive Rural Development Summit on the 9
th
and 10
th
September 2011,
with the overriding objective to develop an integrated MLM home-grown rural development strategy
adaptive and aligned with the above policies for implementation purposes. The following primary
stakeholders participated into the Summit, as:
? Sector Departments: (7 National Departments): Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Forestry; Department of Rural Development and Land Reform+ regional Land Claims
Commission; Department of Trade and Industry; Department of Economic Development;
Department of Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs; Department of Monitoring and
Evaluation; National Planning Commission.

Southern Africa, National Development Agency, National Youth Development Agency,
Mpumalanga Economic and Growth Agency.
? Livestock/Poultry Producers: Communal/tribal projects, Redistributed land projects &
Restituted land projects.
? Crop/Grain Producers: Communal/tribal projects, Redistributed land projects & Restituted
land projects.
? Private Sector partners: Heidel Eggs, Earth-oil SA; Naledi Developments; Lehakwe Capital,
B.Biyela Consultants; Feed-master.
The Summit adopted the MLM Rural Development Strategy, anchored by key three pillars, as:
? Rural infrastructure planning in the areas of basic infrastructure and ward-level planning and
governance through harnessing the functionalities of existing community-based institutions
and utilization of the National Youth Service Corps/Brigades.
? Institutional mechanisms and co-ordination on development of a statutory legal entity(
Mbombela Rural Development Council), a replica of the Presidential Advisory Group model,
to act as a strategizing Think Tank/Fora to advice the MLM on rural development, human
settlements, agriculture, land reform and economic development in general
? Establishment of an agricultural-based development zone/development corridor ( to be
captioned as the ADZ) based on a mixed farming model incorporating priority high impact
commodities with potential to stimulate and raise the MLM GGP/GDP.
150
The Rural Development Strategy will be reviewed in the 2015/2016 financial year in order to align with
the IDP priorities.
151
2.11.1 Implementation of Summit Resolutions
The pre-Summit and immediate post-Summit era has been characterized by extensive consultative
processes, which as part of the Summit proceeds the following milestones have been achieved:
? Ten (10) MLM-based Co-ops have been established to represent the small-scale commodity
producers across the agricultural value chain, and the 10 Co-ops are : Broilers, including free-
range chickens; Layers/Eggs; Hatchery; Feed-mill/Granular Plant; Abattoir; Grain; Essential
Oils; Fisheries; Piggeries; Nursery & Vegetables)
? The Co-ops will qualifinancial year for grants, captioned as Co-ops Incentive Scheme, for
purposes of acquiring initial seed capital.
? A site research and visitations were conducted by the MLM with the 10 Co-ops to the North
West( Poultry Value-Chain/Koster at the invitation of the Kuipers Group/ an RSA and Holland-
based entity& Essential Oils/Vegetables/Kroondale at the invitation of Earth-oil SA headed by
former CSIR chemistry specialists) with the objective to access hands-on
? Business Development Planning (BDP) for the overall value chain to be conducted and
underway, with Requests for Proposals from Professional Services Providers being evaluated
for immediate appointment.
? Detailed conceptualization processes of the ADZ were interacted with relevant sector
departments and involved entities towards an extent of soliciting maximum collaboration, buy-
ins and consent for the de-commissioning of the ADZ.
2. 11.2 Current Situational Analysis on the ADZ processes
The MLM seeks to engage with a project-based strategy and approach geared to facilitate the
establishment of an Agricultural-based Development Zone(ADZ), be located in the Eastern Corridor
development axis as follows:
? A centralized production and processing facilities in the short term for the overall poultry value
chain to be located at the farm described as Peebles 31 JU a land Restitution project under
the Mbayane Community Trust, adjacent Mganduzweni, Jerusalema, Swalala, Mshadza
Communal/tribal land
? Decentralized poultry production units with broiler inherited through the land and agrarian
reform program across the MLM jurisdiction, which will enter into Out-grower or Contract-
buying Schemes with the ADZ in the medium term
? Essential Oils cluster with a 100ha plantation and Distillation Factory in the short term to be
located at the farm Kaapscheblock a land Redistribution project under the Sibuyela
KaMajabula Trust adjacent Sandriver and Mahushu Communal land; project to undertake the
Out-grower or Contract-buying scheme/model in the medium term.
? Fisheries and piggeries cluster with units/houses and processing facilities to be located at the
farm described as Peebles 31 JU a land Restitution project under the Mbayane Community
Trust, adjacent Mganduzweni, Jerusalema, Swalala, Mshadza Communal/tribal land
? Nursery and Vegetables production and packaging facilities in the short term at the farm
described as Hermansburg a land Restitution project under the Endlovini Communal Property
Association adjacent Mataffin/old Airport
152
? Nursery and Vegetables production in the medium term to be located at the Daanjie,
Mpakeni, Luphisi, Spelanyane & Mahuhube Communal land to undertake Out-grower or
Contract-buying scheme/model
? Out-grower/Contract-buying schemes to be explored through provision of seedlings and
fertilizers/manure to explore Masibuyele Emasimini surplus production in the areas of grain(
maize, sunflower, soya) to complement the ADZ grain components of the Feed-mill/Granular
Plant( stock-piling perspective)
? The South African Poultry Association/Developing Poultry farmers Organization and the
South African Pork Producers Organization have pledged to inject human resources (poultry
and veterinary specialists) respectively to support the ADZ, with respective remunerations to
be procured through the poultry and pork levy respectively.
2. 11.3 Project Commissioning Phase
The ADZ project has been commissioned through the appointment of Professional Services Providers
to develop a detailed Business Development Plan (BDP) as a roadmap to inform the implementation
of the mixed farming model. The BDP will present a sound and a commercial business case, with the
final product to reflect:
a) Determinations on the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for the whole ADZ with regards to
acquisition of requisite infrastructure and assets; CAPEX to be financed through the
Department of Trade and Industry grants/incentives and soft loan funding
b) Determinations on the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for the whole ADZ with regards to
requisite recurrent/overhead costs to be incurred: OPEX to be financed through the MLM,
Development Finance Institutions (DBSA; IDC) and private equity conduits including
commercial banks
c) Determinations on the CAPEX for the requisite ADZ economic infrastructure requirements
and components (roads including access points to production units/facilities;
Energy/Electricity; Information and Communication Technology; Water; Sanitation), to be
financed through a joint Department of Trade and Industry Infrastructure Grant and
COGTA/DBSA/MLM Municipal Infrastructure Grant.
d) The Out-grower/Contract-buying scheme/model revitalization costs to be financed under the
DTI grants, and ADZ to retrieve 80% of live stock with 20% including mortality rates to be
reserved for poverty alleviation purposes sold at reasonable and affordable pricing structure
e) Determinations on the ADZ impact to the GGP/DGP ( rate and pace considerations)
f) Determinations on the ADZ employment intensity (rate and pace considerations on
sustainable and decent jobs).
g) Registration and formalization of a share equity company (Special Purpose Vehicle/SPV) to
develop best-use business practices on the business ownership and management model for
the ADZ not land ownership including infrastructure and assets which are under the nominal
ownership of government on behalf of the 10 Co-ops.
153
2. 11.4 Project De-commissioning Phase
It is the MLM considered opinion that the de-commissioning phase should commence prior end of
2014/15 Financial Year, with the initial commencement phases build around site establishment.
The other two pillars of the MLM Rural Development Strategy including possible crop or commodity
diversification models in particular citrus (lemon and navels) value chains to be initiated in the
immediate post-financial year end. Note that the DBSA has established a rural development
Department hence critical interactions and engagements will be forthcoming in the new fiscus year.
2.12 HUMAN SETTLEMENT AND LAND ADMINISTRATION
The municipality is faced with housing shortage or backlog. This problem has been exaggerated by
the lack of suitable land for residential development; shortage of serviced stands and inadequate
supply of housing subsidies by the Provincial Department of Human Settlements.
According to the Human Settlement Unit, the municipality is experiencing an estimated housing
backlog of 32 554 units. However, since 2009 new applicants were never taken as the national
government has introduced a new system of capturing applicants on the waiting list. The new waiting
list is now called National Demand Data Base [NDDB], which means that municipalities no longer own
such, but national would be controlling the process of allocation of units according to the database.
Accordingly, the waiting list would be phased out to allow the national demand database to its full
course in this financial year.
The municipality has developed a Housing Chapter which among other things highlights the housing
demand database or waiting list information for the entire municipality. The housing waiting list as per
the Housing Charter was prepared in consultation with the ward councillors, ward committee’s,
community development workers (CDW’s) as well as municipal officials, specifically from Human
Settlement Unit. Table 2.12 below indicates the housing waiting list per ward.

154
According to the above table, the total number of registered applicants on the waiting demand
database was 33 522 applicants, and 648 applicants have benefitted from the housing schemes.
The shortage of housing problem is also linked with the rapid population growth caused by the
migration of people in search of better job opportunities. The majority of these people come from the
two neighbouring rural municipalities such as Nkomazi Local Municipality and Bushbuckridge Local
Municipality. This has been exacerbated by the lack of a migration plan by the municipality, which the
municipality will prepare in the next financial year.
However, the municipality has identified suitable land for housing development around Mbombela,
Plaston, and White River. The suitable identified land is owned by the private sector, and the owners
have already made offers to the municipality. Hence the only challenge is funding. The municipality
has engaged other sister Departments to assist financially to acquire such land for integrated human
settlement.
Moreover, three (3) portions of land have been acquired by the Department of Human Settlements
and Rural development and Land reform. The properties will be used for the development of
integrated sustainable human settlement with full services. The properties include Casa da Lua (will
provide approximately 500 stands); White River (will provide approximately 400 stands) and
Maggiesdal (will provide approximately 800 stands). The municiapality has also identified Tekwane
North Extension 1 (will provide approximately 550 stands) and Matsulu Extension 6 (will provide
approximately 2500) for human settlement. All these properties have not been serviced as yet.
Currently the implementation of the housing projects is done by the Provincial Department of Human
Settlement and there is nothing that the municipality can do to fastract the delivery of houses.
Hovever, the municipality has applied for accreditation to administer all the housing related projects
and it is expected that the accreditation will assist the municipality in addressing its housing backlog.
In a bid to address the housing challenge, the municipality is in the process of drafting the Integrated
Housing Plan for the entire municipality. This will be done concurrently with the land audit, since it is
impossible to separate housing provision with land.
Moreover, the municipality has approved Alienation Policy that seeks to regulate the disposal and
acquisition of municipal land. The challenge is that the municipality does not have a Rapid Response
(Reaction Unit) Unit that is legislatively empowered to deal with illegal occupation immediately. The
newly established Law enforcement unit is not empowered to deal with such cases; they can only
accompany peace officers to deliver notices. It is important that the issue of the establishment of a
rapid response unit be investigated or the powers vested to the Law enforcement unit be revised in
order to deal with this matters urgently so.
2.13 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
The municipality is encountering the following challenges that have negative impact on the
environment:
? Destruction and pollution of wetlands;
? Illegal dumping/rubble dumping due to construction increasing as result of increasing
developments;
? Cleanliness of towns and unmanaged disposal sites;
? Illegal burials ( next to the streams or rivers)
155
? Illegal sand mining leaving the area un-rehabilitated
? Pollution of natural resources due to dilapidated / ageing sewage treatment networks;
? Air pollution as a result of emissions from some industries and high vehicle congestions on
the municipal roads.
? Climate change mitigating measures.
The municipality has a challenge of being exemplary in compliance with all environmental laws
especially in areas such as Water Works, Waste Treatment Works, and Solid Waste Disposal Sites
etc. Adherence to Environmental Management plans where soil excavations were conducted and
safe disposal of the remains after road constructions and any other structural developments. The
private sectors with interests in environmental management matters may not adhere to such laws.
The sensitive challenges identified on compliance with environmental laws are the construction of the
houses/industries in wetlands. The Section dealing with Environmental Management issues is having
one official. The size of the municipality requires at least seven officials at the minimum including the
Manager.
The municipality launched the Environmental Management Forum which comprises of both internal
and external stakeholders to address the environmental management programmes in a co-ordinated
and integrated manner. Various consultations were made with Communities to educate them on the
importance of wetlands. Working groups were formulated to represent the various zones.
The municipality will be reviewing the Environmental Management Framework in the 2014-2015
financial year in order to comply with environmental legislation. The framework will cover the
following:
? Environmental Management System
? The updated Environmental Management Policy
? Environmental Management by-laws
The municipality will also engage its communities to serve as watchdogs in identifinancial yearing the
environmental pollution. Council will through structured communication strive to ensure that
environmental pollution problems are identified early and addressed soon before they cause major
impact in the lives of flora and fauna as well as aquatic. The sporadic inspections will be conducted in
all corners of Mbombela boundaries. The availability of Environmental Science qualified Interns (while
the appointment of permanent officials is pending) will assist the department to ensure that regular
visits are conducted in all wards.
2.13.1 Environmental Education and awareness
The Environmental Management Section has realized the need to deal with environmental awareness
and education to create a platform for the experts to interact with the public to share any
environmental related matter for the purpose of learning and identifinancial yearing certain behavioral
trends from the side of the society. The strategy will be developed to ensure that the impact is felt
when the educational programmes are rolled out in the next financial years. The unit is encouraging
the public to participate in Adopt – a- spot initiatives. This means identification of the open space or
parks and making request to council to adopt the spot and green it. There are more than ten areas
adopted by the public and private sectors. All areas known to be unsafe and untidy are changing and
look green and safe as a result of adopt a spot initiative. Council is currently striving to mainstream
the waste minimization and recycling programmes to ensure that less waste reaches the landfill site.
The interested parties will through Local Economic Development concept be engaged and be guided
to follow proper legislative requirements while participating in recycling of waste in different forms.
156
Waste recycling has now become legislated in terms of National Environmental: Waste Act 59 of
2008. The environmental awareness and education programme strategy will be developed annually to
highlight all awareness programmes for the entire year. The programme will cover the community and
schools participation. The world calendar dates for the environmental programmes will be observed
such World Environmental Day (June month) etc.
2.13.2 Air quality management
Mbombela embarked on the sampling programme to detect the level of pollution in the ambient air;
this study will assist the National Department of Environmental Affairs to categorize the municipality
according to its level of exposure as far as air pollution is concerned. The six months results obtained
have depicted that the level of pollution is not exceeding those areas that are heavily polluted such as
Secunda. Concurrently council will develop its Air Quality Plan as required by National Environment:
Air Quality Act 2004. It will form part of the sector plans for the IDP in future. During the awareness
and education campaign the public is taught on the need to protect the environment by not burning
waste reduce dust by sprinkling the ground with water before sweeping. The unnecessary burning of
the land is totally discouraged in Mbombela. Any intentions to burn the dried grass need to be
communicated with the Fire and Rescue Services for control purposes. The continuous education
programmes on the radio and provision of pamphlets will make the society change their mindset and
stop burning waste or wood without any apparent reasons. The sister Municipality, Ehlanzeni District
Municipality is currently conducting the sampling programme to detect the level of pollutants emitted
by specific industries and provide advice where necessary. There is good relationship between
Mbombela and Ehlanzeni District Municipality (EDM) on matters of Air Quality legislative
requirements. The EDM have embarked on the Section 78 Feasibility study regarding the air quality
management matters. Mbombela is participating in the Air Quality Forums for the sharing of
knowledge and skills. In future there will be council air quality management plan and implementation
plans to deal with problems identified. It will link with Climate change mitigating measures strategies
for Mbombela.
2.14 EXPANDED PUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMME (EPWP)
Expanded Public Works programme (EPWP) is a nationwide programme covering all spheres of
government and state owned enterprises. It originates in the Growth and Development Summit 2003.
It aims to draw significant numbers of unemployed, unskilled people into productive work so that they
increase their capacity to earn an income It further serves as an opportunity to address social welfare
gap. It was launched in April 2004 to promote economic growth and create sustainable development.
The EPWP Phase 1 was to help alleviate unemployment by creating at least work opportunity, of
which 40% of beneficiaries will be women, 30% youth and 2% people with disabilities. The EPWP
Phase 2 aims at creating 2million Full Time Equivalent (FTE) jobs for poor and unemployed people in
South Africa so as to contribute to halving unemployment by 2014, through the delivery of public and
community services. Drawing on the success and lessons of this programme over the past five years,
R4 billion is added to this programme to incentivise the creation of long term more stable employment
in the province, municipalities and non- governmental organisations.
Mbombela has already committed itself to participate in EPWP by signing the declaration (March
2011). All the IDP capital projects will be registered under EPWP and will be reported accordingly to
the department of Public Works .The reporting model is available in the system and is user friendly.
The unit coordinating the EPWP projects will in collaboration with IDP office ensure that all IDP
projects indicate the estimated number of jobs to be created to ensure that EPWP projects are
157
properly coordinated and the reporting of jobs created improved. The prescripts of the EPWP policy
will be implemented for compliance with all National EPWP policy guidelines. The policy is clear on
the number of jobs to be created; this approach will serve as a tool for council to monitor itself against
the national targets.
All EPWP officials will offer the accredited Training programme to enable them to acquire skills which
will help them when they look for permanent jobs elsewhere. Every Friday the Political Principals
(Councillors) will visit the projects in all Planning areas. This day will be declared as EPWP Friday.
The deployment of EPWP beneficiaries in all corners of Mbombela will make the Mbombela City with
its small towns clean and health.
The EPWP Phase 2 term expires on the 31
st
of March 2014 and Phase 3 will start from 1
st
April 2014
until 31
st
March 2019 (five year National Programme). During the road show on awareness and
education for the EPWP Phase 3 it was learnt that municipalities will have to adhere to the DORA
(Division of Revenue Act) in terms of grant allocation and account on the actual grant expenditure.
The EPWP Unit in collaboration with the Department of Finance will ensure that the reporting of
EPWP jobs and expenditure thereof is done according to Public Finance Management Act 1999 and
Municipal Finance Management Act 2003. The implementation of the Municipal EPWP Policy will be
intensified to ensure that all jobs created are reported including the personal details of the
beneficiaries. Quarterly meetings will be held with all Departmental EPWP Patrons to improve on the
reporting of jobs to the National Department of Public Works. Business plans will be required from all
departments indicating the manner in which intensive labour will be utilised.

CHAPTER 3
MBOMBELA DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
_________________________________________________________________________________
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Section 25 of the Municipal Systems Act, 32 of 2000 requires that each municipal council must within
a prescribed period after the start of its elected term adopt a single, inclusive and strategic plan,
commonly known as Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The IDP must guide and inform all planning,
development, budgeting decisions of the municipality.
Section 26 (a) of the above said act also requires that the IDP must reflect the municipal council’s
vision for the long term development of the municipality. This chapter outline the municipal vision,
mission, motto, development objectives and priorities.
3. 2 VISION
A vision is defined as a statement that outlines what the organization wants to be in future. The
municipality’s vision is set out as follows:
“City of Excellence”
3. 3 MISSION STATEMENT
The municipality’s mission statement is as follows:
“A high performing and learning municipality that excels in development facilitation and
sustainable service delivery through Batho Pele and sound corporate governance principles”.
3. 4 CORE VALUES
In order to maintain a high level of service, the municipality adopted a set of values to guide the
behavior of all people towards the achievement of the mission and ultimately, the vision of the
municipality. The values seek to develop a culture that informs both the administrative as well as the
political components, to achieve the municipality’s vision. The values, commonly known as “THE

CHAPTER 5
FINANCI AL PLAN (2014-2017)
_________________________________________________________________________________
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The 2015/2016 – 2017/2018 draft budget and medium-term revenue and expenditure framework
(MTREF) was prepared based on the fundamentals of the municipal developmental priorities
tabulated on the Integrated Development Plan. The following are the municipal developmental
priorities which the budget should be responding to in terms of prioritisation and allocation of funds
and resources;
(a) Water supply;
(b) Road infrastructure development and storm water;
(c) Electricity supply and management;
(d) Integrated human settlement;
(e) Good governance and public participation;
(f) Sanitation;
(g) Community development;
(h) Rural development;
(i) Economic development;
(j) Waste and environment management;
(k) Financial management and viability;
(l) Public transport;
(m) Revenue enhancement; and
2010 legacy.The guidelines and assumptions in accordance with the Municipal Finance Management Act and its
Regulations and Circulars as well as other relevant legislations have also been taken into
consideration, including the prevalent macro and internal environment factors.
The 2015/2016 draft budget is prepared in the midst of the implementation of the turnaround strategy
approved by the municipal council on 21 August 2014, under item A(3). The turnaround strategy is
implemented in order to address in the following key matters which impact negatively on the
administrative and operational capacity of the municipality;
(e) Financial Management – comprising of matters of revenue enhancement, cost curtailment,
fleet management, supply chain management and clean audit roadmap.
(f) Service Delivery – comprising of acceleration of spending on capital projects, water supply
interventions, waste management and cleanliness, repairs and maintenance of the municipal
infrastructure.
(g) Governance and Institutional Development – comprising of filling of critical vacant positions,
risk management, performance monitoring and evaluation, internal audit, system of delegations of
powers and functions, ICT governance etc.
(h) Social and Economic Development – comprising of local economic development strategy,
rural development, spatial planning, integrated human settlement etc.
168
The aforementioned matters formed the basis of the following budget objectives over the medium-
term;
(g) To manage risks associated with unstable financial position, underperformance on service
delivery, address governance and institutional development challenges;
(h) To improve financial performance and sustainability over the long term;
(i) To ensure the citizens of the municipality are provided with acceptable levels of services;
(j) To maintain the existing assets and infrastructure base by ensuring adequate repairs and
maintenance is undertaken;
(k) To achieve a clean audit outcome.
(l) To enable local economic development initiatives and sustainable employment creation.
The municipality has started addressing the challenges that have been affecting the performance of
the municipality in the previous financial year in the 2014/2015 financial year with the implementation
of the turnaround strategy. The preparation of the 2015/2016 draft budget takes cognizance of the
fact that the municipality is in the midst of the implementation of the turnaround strategy and should
these factors continuously addressed as per the turnaround strategy, the aforementioned objectives
of the budget will not be achieved.
.
5. 2 MACRO ENVIRONMENT FACTORS – ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
From a macro environment perspective, the economic performance over the medium-term looks bleak
as a slow economic growth trends has been forecasted and the reflections of this unfavourable
economic growth condition will impact negatively on all spheres of government. The revenue base of
the municipality will be under pressure as no new revenues will be derived at the moment due to the
slow economic growth and local circumstances.
As a consequence of the distress economy a conservative approach will need to be adopted when
projections are made for expected revenues cash receipts in the next medium-term.
On the expenditure side - careful analysis and evaluation of the current spending patterns need to be
conducted so that the allocation of funds in the next medium-term is in line with the key municipal
priorities and non-priority spending is eliminated (austerity measures need to be implemented).
The South African economic growth outlook measured in terms of real Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) in 2014 to 2018 is expected to be as follows;
Description 2014

Actual
2016
Estimate
2017
Forecast
2018

Real GDP 2.2% 1.4% 2.0% 2.4% 3.0%
The consumer price inflation is expected to stay within the 3 to 6 per cent inflation target set by the
South African Reserve Bank over the medium-term. The national economic growth will be under
pressure and as the economy will be growing on an average of 2.5 per cent over the medium-term
which is far less than the annual national economic growth target of 5 to 7 per cent set by the National
Development Plan. The slow economic growth impacts negatively on the reduction of poverty,
inequality and unemployment.

The forecasted headline inflation for medium-term will be as follows;

(a) Grants allocations
The total grants allocated to the municipality in terms of the 2015 Division of Revenue Bill (DoRB)
amounts R3 143 billion over the medium-term, reflecting an increase of R264 million (8%) and the
total allocation for 2015/2016 budget year is R981 million. The table below provides details regarding
the 2015/2016 grants allocation over the medium. The total grant in-kind allocation over the medium-

(b) Revising of rates, tariffs and other charges
The revision of the rates, tariffs and other charges for the 2015/2016 budgets and MTREF should take
into account the labour (i.e. the wage agreements with unions) and other input costs of services
provided by the municipality, the need to ensure financial sustainability, local economic conditions and
the affordability of services, taking into consideration the municipality’s indigent policy.
National Treasury continues to encourage municipalities to keep increases in rates, tariffs and other
charges at levels that reflect an appropriate balance between the interests of poor households, other
customers and ensuring the financial sustainability of the municipality.
To ensure the municipality continue to efficiently deliver services, eradicate backlogs in term of
services and social infrastructure, maintain, upgrade and renewal of the existing infrastructure as well
as ensuring financial stability and long-term sustainability, the increase of rates, tariffs and other
charges over the medium-term is proposed to be as follows;

The above table reflects that the average increase on rates and service charge tariffs for 2015/2016 in
the municipality serviced areas will be 9.24 per cent and 9.06 per cent over the medium-term.
Sembcorp tariffs increase is determined in accordance with tariff model stipulated on the Service
Agreement Three (3) which takes the current consumer price indexes (CPI) per commodity plus a
margin of 3% and other economic factors into account.
The municipality should ensure the revision of its electricity tariffs is in line with the National Energy
Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) guidelines of 12.20 per cent increase in 2015/2016. The recent
reapplication by Eskom to have an additional electricity tariff increase of 12.31 per cent in 2015/2016
in addition to the 12.69 per cent approved by Nersa poses a serious financial risk to the municipality.
In ensuring the municipal tariffs and fees for services are cost reflective, the following processes will
be conducted by the municipality;
? The water and sanitation tariffs and fees which are cost-reflective (A new water and sanitation
cost structure based on the activity based costing system) will be implemented in 2015/2016
resulting in an increase of water tariffs by an average of 36 per cent over the medium-term and
decrease in sanitation tariffs by an average of 18 per cent over the next five (5) years.
? The electricity cost structure will be reviewed utilising the activity based costing system and the
revised cost structure and cost reflective tariffs will be implemented in 2016/2017.
? The solid waste cost-reflective tariffs will be implemented in 2016/2017 when a new solid waste
cost structure based on the activity based costing system is implemented.
? The Licensing function will be subjected to a cost structure review by 30 July 2015 and the
agency agreement with the Provincial Department of Safety and Security will be reviewed in
order to recovery the full cost of the rendering the services on behalf of the Department through
the agency fees.

(c) The ability of municipality to collect revenue

Average Increase % 6.99% 7.42% 7.19% 8.14% 8.01%
5.5 CAPITAL EXPENDITURE OVER THE MEDIUM-TERM
The funding of the capital expenditure will be sourced from conditional grants allocations, external
loans (borrowings) and internal reserves. No new external loans (borrowings) will be sourced during
the medium-term. The borrowings funding source in 2014/2015 will be a portion of the external loan
of R160 million taken in October 2013.

CHAPTER 6
PERFORMANCE MONITORI NG AND EVALUATION
_________________________________________________________________________
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Performance Monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) provides decision makers with the ability to draw on
causal linkages between the choice of policy priorities, resourcing, programmes, the services actually
delivered and the ultimate impact on communities. PM&E provides answers to the “so what” question,
thus addressing the accountability concerns of stakeholders and give public sector managers
information on progress toward achieving stated targets and goals. It also provides substantial
evidence as the basis for any necessary corrections in policies, programmes, or projects. Its main aim
is to help improve performance and achieve the desired results, by measuring and assessing
performance in order to more effectively manage the outcomes and associated outputs known as
development results.
Section 19 (1) of the Municipal Structures Act states that a municipal council must strive within its
capacity to achieve the objectives set out in Section 152 of the Constitution. Section 19 (2) of the
same Act stipulates that a municipal council must annually review its overall performance in achieving
the objectives referred to in subsection 19(1). The Performance Management System (PMS) is one of
the mechanisms through which Mbombela aims to improve organisational and individual performance
to enhance service delivery. The performance management framework for Mbombela comprises of
two components, namely:
? Organisational Performance Management and
? Individual Performance Management for Section 57 employees
The Organisational PMS is a tool used to measure the performance of the municipality with regard to
development priorities and objectives outlined in the IDP. Once the municipality starts to implement its
IDP, it is important to monitor that:
? the delivery is happening as planned in the SDBIP;
? the municipality is using its resources most efficiently;
? it is producing the quality of delivery envisaged;
The PMS Framework is currently being reviewed, Mbombela Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
(PMS will be part of the Framework) will be produced to ensure that the following areas are
addressed through monitoring:
? Early warning reports are produced;
? Quarterly analysis reports are produced;
? Municipal Evaluations plan is developed;
? Evaluations are conducted;
? Projects verification is conducted;
? Excelent Awards are awarded to the best performing Department/ section.
181
6.2 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Legislation that governs performance management in local government includes Local Government:
Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000), Local Government: Municipal Planning and
Performance Management Regulations, 2001, Local Government: Municipal Finance Management
Act 53 of 2003 and Local Government: Municipal Performance Regulations for Municipal Managers
and Managers Directly Accountable to Municipal Managers, 2006, Provincial Monitoring and
Evaluation Framework 2009, National Evaluation Policy 2011.
6.2.1 Municipal Systems Act, 2000 ( Act 32 of 2000)
Chapter 6 of the MSA requires all municipalities to promote a culture of performance through the
following:
? Developing a performance management system;
? Setting targets, monitor and review performance based on indicators linked to the IDP;
? Publish an annual report on performance management for the Councilors, staff, the public
and other spheres of government;
? Incorporate and report on a set of general indicators prescribed nationally by the Minister
responsible for Local Government;
? Conduct an internal audit on performance before tabling the report;
? Have the annual performance report audited by the Auditor-General;
? Involve the community in setting indicators and targets and reviewing municipal performance.
6.2.2 Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations, 2001
(MPPMR)
The MPPMR, published by the then Department of Provincial and Local Government (DPLG), which
requires a municipality to ensure that its PMS complies with the requirements of the MSA,
demonstrate the operation and management of the PMS; clarifinancial year roles and responsibilities,
as well as ensure alignment with employee performance management and the IDP processes.
6.2.3 Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003 ( Act 56 of 2003)
The MFMA requires a municipality to develop a Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan
(SDBIP) based on specific targets and performance indicators derived from the IDP, thus linking the
IDP, the performance management system and the budget. Section 67 of the MSA regards the
monitoring, measuring and evaluating of performance of staff as a platform to develop human
resources and to develop an efficient and effective culture. The MFMA further requires the Mayor to
ensure that the performance agreements of Section 57 employees comply with the requirements of
the MSA to promote sound financial management and are linked to measurable performance
objectives, approved with the budget and included in the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation
Plan (SDBIP).
182
6.2.4 Local Government: Municipal Performance Regulations for Municipal
Managers and Managers Directly Accountable to Municipal Managers, 2006
The then DPLG now Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, in August 2006, promulgated
Regulations for Section 57 Managers on how the performance of municipal managers, should prepare
reports, review, improve and reward performance. The regulations provide for the conclusion of
performance agreements and personal development plans.
6.2.5 Implementation and Reporting on the Organisational Performance
Management System
The PMS is a tool that reflects the level of the implementation of Mbombela IDP and the role played
by individual staff members in the process. It involves the translation of the IDP and sector plans, into
the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP). The SDBIP further translate the IDP
into the municipal or corporate score cards with quarterly targets. The Municipal Manager is the
custodian of the SDBIP Score Cards and agrees with the Executive Mayor, as representative of the
Employer, on the delivery aspects of the scorecard.
6.2.6 Provincial Monitoring and Evaluation Framework
The Provincial M&E Framework is a guiding document to ensure that all public institutions in the
province develop M&E Framework and establish M&E Units that will monitor the performance of the
institution and produce early warning reports.
6.2.7 National Evaluation Policy Framework: November 2011
The Policy Framework seeks to:
? Foreground the importance of Evaluation;
? Provide for an institutionalised system across government linking to planning and budget;
? Provide common language and conceptual base for evaluation in government;
? Indicate clear roles and responsibilities related to evaluations;
? Improve the quality of evaluations;
? Ensure the utilisation of evaluation findings to improve performance.
The purpose underlying is:
? Improving policy programme performance, providing feedback to managers;
? Improving accountability for where public spending is going and the difference it is making;
? Improving decision-making, e.g. on what is working or not working;
? Increasing knowledge about what works and what does not with regards to a public policy, plan,
programme, or project.
6.3 ROLE PLAYERS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
The roles players that manage the performance management system of MLM include the following:
183
6.3.1 Internal Audit
The Internal Audit Services plays an internal performance auditing role, which includes monitoring the
functioning of the PMS and compliance to legislative requirements. Its role is also to assist the
municipality in validating the evidence provided by the General Managers in support of their
performance achievements.
6.3.2 Performance Audit Committee
The committee monitors the quality and integrity of the Performance Management System, to ensure
equity and consistency in the application of evaluation norms and standards. The committee further
provides impartial recommendations on performance ratings to the Mayoral Committee, following the
completion of objective appraisals.
6.3.3 Evaluation Panel
The Evaluation Panel evaluates the performance of Section 57 employees, including the Municipal
Manager’s performance, through approval of their final performance ratings.
6.3.4 Executive Mayor and Members of the Mayoral Committee
The Executive Mayor and the Members of the Mayoral Committee manage the development of the
municipal PMS and oversee the performance of the Municipal Manager and the General Managers.
6.3.5 Council and Section 79 Committees
Section 79 Committees play an oversight role and consider reports from Council on the functioning of
different portfolios and the impact on the overall objectives and performance of the municipality.
6.3.6 Community
The community plays a role in the PMS through the annual IDP consultation processes, which are
managed by the Office of the Speaker, working in close collaboration with the IDP and Public
Participation Unit.
6.4 REPORTS
The legislative framework requires that the municipality should develop reports on particular intervals
that must submit to various institutions for validation and monitoring. The table below outlines a
summary of the reports that have been developed in MLM.
Report Type Description
Monthly reports Section 71 of the MFMA requires that reports be prepared. A financial report is prepared based on
municipal programmes and projects.
Quarterly IDP and
SDBIP reporting
The SDBIP is a key management, implementation and monitoring tool, which provides operational
content to the end-of-year service delivery targets, set in the budget and IDP. It determines the
performance agreements for the municipal
184
Report Type Description
Manager, Top Managers and other levels of staff, whose performance can then be monitored
through Section 71 monthly reports, and evaluated through the annual report process.
The SDBIP information on revenue will be monitored and reported monthly by the Municipal
Manager in terms of Section 71(1) (a) and (e). For example, if there is lower than anticipated
revenue and an overall cash shortage in a particular month the municipality may have to revise its
spending downwards to ensure that it does not borrow more than anticipated. More importantly,
such information requires the municipality to take urgent remedial steps to ensure it improves on
its revenue collection capacity if the municipality wants to maintain its levels of service delivery
and expenditure.
Section 1 of the MFMA states that the SDBIPs a detailed plan approved by the Mayor of a
municipality in terms of service delivery should make projections for each month of the revenue to
be collected, by source, as well as the operational and capital expenditure, by vote. The service
delivery targets and performance indicators need to be reported on quarterly (MFMA, 2003).
Mid-year budget and
CGTA report
Section 72 of the MFMA requires the Accounting Officer to prepare and submit a report on the
performance of the municipality during the first half of the financial year. The report must be
submitted to the mayor, National Treasury as well as the relevant Provincial Treasury and CGTA.
As with all other reports this is a crucial report for the Council to consider mid-year performance
and what adjustments should be made, if necessary.
Annual Performance
report (Section 46)
Section 46 of the MSA states that a municipality must prepare for each financial year, a
performance report that reflects the following:
? The performance of the municipality and of each external service provided during that
financial year;
? A comparison of the performances referred to in the above paragraph with targets set
for and performances in the previous financial year; and
? Measures to be taken to improve on the performance.
The performance report must be submitted at the end of the financial year and will be made public
as part of the annual report in terms of Chapter 12 of the MFMA.
The publication thereof will also afford the public the opportunity to judge the performance of the
municipality against the targets set in the various planning instruments.
Annual report Every municipality and every municipal entity under the municipality’s control is
required by Section 121 to prepare an annual report for each financial year, which
must include:
? the annual financial statements of the municipality or municipal entity as
? submitted to the Auditor-General for audit (and, if applicable, consolidated annual
financial statements);
? the Auditor-General’s audit report on the financial statements;
? an assessment by the Accounting Officer of any arrears on municipal taxes
? and service charges;
? particulars of any corrective action taken or to be taken in response to issues raised in
the audit reports;
? any explanations that may be necessary to clarifinancial year issues in connection with
the financial statements;
? any information as determined by the municipality, or, in the case of a
185
Report Type Description
? municipal entity, the entity or its parent municipality;
? any recommendations of the municipality’s audit committee, or, in the case of a
municipal entity, the audit committee of the entity or of its parent municipality;
? an assessment by the Accounting Officer of the municipality’s performance against the
measurable performance objectives for revenue collection and for each vote in the
municipality’s approved budget for the relevant financial year;
? an assessment by the Accounting Officer of the municipality’s performance against any
measurable performance objectives set in terms the service delivery agreement or other
agreement between the entity and its parent municipality;
? the annual performance report prepared by a municipality;
? Any other information as may be prescribed.
Section 127 prescribes the submission and tabling of annual reports. This section also gives
provision for the following:
1. The Accounting Officer of a municipal entity must, within six months after the end of a
financial year, submit the entity’s annual report for that financial year to the Municipal
Manager of its parent municipality;
2. The Mayor of a municipality must, within seven months after the end of a financial year,
table in the municipal council the annual report of the municipality and of any municipal
entity under the municipality’s sole or shared control;
3. If the Mayor, for whatever reason, is unable to table in the council the annual report of
the municipality, or the annual report of any municipal entity under the municipality’s
sole or shared control, within seven months after the end of the financial year to which
the report relates, the mayor must:
a. submit to the Council a written explanation setting out the reasons for
the delay, together with any components of the annual report that are
ready;
b. submit to the Council the outstanding annual report or the outstanding components of
the annual report as soon as may be possible.
Oversight report The Council of a municipality must consider the municipality’s annual report (and
that of any municipal entity under the municipality’s control), and in terms of
Section 129, within two months from the date of tabling of the annual report, must adopt an
oversight report containing the Council’s comments, which must include a statement whether the
Council:
a) has approved the annual report with or without reservations;
b) has rejected the annual report; or
c) has referred the annual report back for revision of those components that can be
revised.
In terms of Section 132, the following documents must be submitted by the
Accounting Officer to the provincial legislature within seven days after the
municipal council has adopted the relevant oversight report:
a) the annual report (or any components thereof) of each municipality and
each municipal entity in the province; and
b) all oversight reports adopted on those annual reports. It is important to note that the
Oversight Committee working with these reports should be chaired by the opposition
party.

6.5 CONCLUSION
The performance management system is links both the organisational and individual performance
management to ensure that there is seamless integration with the performance of the municipality and
performance of section 57 Managers.
