MAYOR’S FOREWORD 2018/2019 ANNUAL REPORT
On behalf of the City of uMhlathuze, I hereby present this Annual Report for the Financial Year
2018/2019. This report outlines our performance against the targets we set for ourselves to do over
this period. The report will give our stakeholders and communities an insight into the performance
and achievements of the City. The mandate of the City of uMhlathuze is not unique to the broader
mandate given to local government by the South African Constitution in terms of Chapter 7. The
only uniqueness we have - are the different legitimate expectations of our residents. Our specific
mandate is drown from the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) Public Participation Roadshows we
embark upon in drafting our IDP and Budget. The IDP is our guiding document in respect of our
performance targets and outcomes. Our resolve is based on servicing our communities wherever
they live.
The current Annual Report outlines our successes and shortcomings in relation to our political and
people’s mandate, and as provided for in the key focus areas of local government mandate and
these can be summarised as follows:
Building a Municipality that is efficient, effective and responsive;
Strengthen accountability and promote clean operations;
Accelerating service delivery and supporting the vulnerable; and
Promoting economic and social development.
To this end, in order to foster diverse partnerships, social cohesion and community involvement
looking at the above priority areas, it is important to note that these can never be successful on
their own; therefore, it becomes important that as a collective, councillors and officials, work
together in identifying the challenges raised in the Annual Report and rectify them as soon as
possible. Having said that, it is equally important to note that there are a few specific areas, which
must receive particular attention going forward such as strengthening the accountability and
discipline of officials in their daily work, both to each other and to communities; the establishment
of project teams across the organisation must become central to a new way of doing business and
ensuring achievement of performance targets especially capital expenditure and good governance.
This will go a long way in breaking down the silo-approach to work. This project based approach to
work must be directly linked to the performance management system of officials and excellence in
the quality of daily work must become a key feature in the way in which officials undertake their
work.
The overall turnaround times of administrative and professional work will require significant
improvement. Ways should be sought to ensure that all officials, at some point, interact directly
12
with our communities. Too often the single most important objective of the public service, i.e. of
serving our people, becomes an abstract idea that is regarded as the exclusive domain of the
political principals.
Accordingly, the City will ensure that its most valuable resource, i.e. its staff, is highly valued and
supported. Training, personal development, career-pathing, talent management, coaching,
mentoring and Employment Assistance Programmes are some of the specific interventions that will
need to be enhanced. Equally, with the politicians, it is important that we focus our energies on the
mandates we have from our respective political parties, but with the sole idea of serving the people
diligently.
Our differences should only be an indication of a strong democratic state, not an impediment to
deliver services to our people. It is commendable to note the improvements in relation to our
spending and expenditure patterns, but we need to do more. The ever present excuse of lack of
resource might be a legitimate one, but the key question is how effectively and efficiently do we use
the resources at our disposal. It is clear on this Annual Report that we are moving in the right
direction, although not there yet. It is of paramount importance to synchronise our programmes
and plans with quarterly targets to achieve our broader goals of effective and efficient City.
Strategic Alignment to District, Provincial, National and International Plans
I am pleased to report that the service delivery agenda of the City of uMhlathuze is fully aligned to
various strategic plans of different spheres of government as well as international strategies. At an
international level, the City draws its strategic direction from the United Nations Strategic
Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs are embedded in the world’s quest to ensure poverty
eradication, changing unsustainable and promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and
production and protecting and managing the natural resource base of economic and social
development.
At a national, the City’s plans are aligned to the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030. The NDP
offers a long-term perspective, defines a desired destination and identifies the role different sectors
of society need to play in reaching that goal. The NDP aims to eliminate poverty and reduce
inequality by 2030. According to the NDP, South Africa can realise these goals by drawing on the
energies of its people, growing an inclusive economy, building capabilities, enhancing the capacity
of the state, and promoting leadership and partnerships throughout society.
At a provincial level, the City’s plans are aligned to the Provincial Growth and Development
Strategy, which provides KwaZulu-Natal with a reasoned strategic framework for accelerating and
sharing the benefits of an inclusive growth through deepened, meaningful, effective and sustainable
catalytic and developmental interventions.
At a district level, the City’s plans are aligned to King Cetshwayo District Growth and Development
Plan, which aims to translate the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy into a detailed
implementation plan at a district level, inclusive of clearly defined targets and responsibilities thus
enabling the province to measure its progress in achieving the accepted growth and development
goals.
Service Delivery Acceleration
Once again, the City of uMhlathuze excelled in the implementation of Back to Basics “serving our
communities better” programme. The programme acknowledges local government as the primary
site for service delivery and the programme seeks to assist local government to enforce its mandate
13
for service delivery. To this end, the City remains a fully functional Municipality with an overall score
of 93%. Notably, access to critical services such as water (95.84), sanitation (80.94), waste removal
(69.71) and electricity in municipal licenced area (100%) remain relative high and in some instances
above the national norm. Access to basic services is improving incrementally year on year. The City
is still facing major challenges in the provision water especially in wards 31, 32 & 33 as well as
maintenance of rural roads. More resources and sustainable solutions will be prioritised in the
ensuing financial years.
During this period, the City continued to invest in infrastructure as a way of improving people’s lives
for better. Some of the key projects implemented in 2018/19 included upgrading of electricity
infrastructure, installation of high mast lights in rural wards, rural sanitation, rural and semi urban
water schemes, roads infrastructure etc. just to name a few. Details of all projects implemented are
contained in Appendix M (i) (ii) of this Annual Report.
Governance
Strategic focus on sound and good governance in our administrative and leadership processes
continue to be our main focus. The City received an unqualified audit opinion and we are
committed to resolving all the issues raised by the Auditor General in the final management letter
and put systems in place towards a clean audit outcome. We have put in place measures to
progressively reduce irregular expenditure. We acknowledge the work of Council in providing
oversight to the Executive and Administration. Additionally, the Municipal Public Accounts
Committee (MPAC) and Audit Committee have played a pivotal role in ensuring accountability and
good governance. Our commitment to serve the residents of uMhlathuze assiduously remains
intact. Public participation through IDP roadshows, budget roadshows, ward committees, taking
Council to the people, etc. remains a pillar of our governance machinery.
The Final Push
The City of uMhlathuze holds the hopes and aspirations of its residents. It is our quest and
commitment to continue investing in strategic infrastructure as part of spatial transformation,
creation of economic opportunities and improved access to municipal services thus creating
liveable and sustainable communities. The magnitude of our task is to systematically address the
triple challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment as well as faster economic
transformation and universal access to municipal services. Through Area Based Management (ABM)
interventions, continuous service failures, grime and decay will be incrementally arrested. In the
remaining months of the current political term, the City will double its efforts in ensuring that
commitments made are fulfilled and that the level of service delivery is elevated for meaningful
outcomes and impact.

MUNICIPAL MANAGER’S FOREWORD
As the City of uMhlathuze, we are a Category A Municipality, a high capacity Municipality, with the
capacity to execute its mandate as envisaged in sections 155 and 156 of the Constitution of the
Republic of South Africa and Chapter 3 of the Municipal Systems Act. As a High Capacity
Municipality, we are not on shared services with other municipalities in the District, but on SPLUMA,
we opted in for the Joint Municipal Planning Tribunal, called King Cetswayo North Joint Municipal
Planning Tribunal. This tribunal includes King Cetswayo, uMfolozi Local Municipality and the City of
uMhlathuze. It seems to be working well and has cleared a number of developmental projects.
The term under review has been a very interesting and challenging one. The municipality generally
continued to do well but it became clear that the municipality is at a stage when it needs to re-
energize itself and improve on our achievements. This is particularly important in this Centenary
Celebrations of Madiba who once said, “After climbing a great Hill, one finds that there are more
Hills to climb”. Indeed, we have many more hills to climb. In the previous years we received 5
Consecutive Clean Audits but in the year under review we experienced an unfortunate regression.
We received an Unqualified Audit with One Matter of Emphasis. The City of uMhlathuze
Governance Structures continue to be very strong and highly functional. The structures include:
Council
Executive Council (EXCO)
Audit Committee
Performance Audit Committee
Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC)
Enterprise Risk Management Committee
All Section 56/57 managers have been appointed
This has been a very important year in that the municipality earnestly commissioned the Enterprise
Resource Planning project with SAP as a platform. The SAP project required the integration of 49
different systems. The whole experience was an important lesson for all of us. No municipal
employee will ever be the same again after going through this experience as it has provided an
opportunity to review all business processes and customize them to suit all stakeholder’s business
needs. It is also important to note that the SAP project was commissioned at the same time when
mSCOA has been introduced, which also necessitated that the municipality reviews its culture and
15
processes of requires us to review our culture of executing projects. One can only conclude that
indeed in local government, change is a constant.
While on the subject of change, the City of uMhlathuze (with City of Polokwane) became a pilot site
for Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF). The biggest benefit of participating in such a
project is that it will teach us to do long-term infrastructure development planning and rollout. It’s
an exciting opportunity and we appreciate COGTA for choosing uMhlathuze for the pilot project.
We feel energized by the passion of the Deputy Minister of CoGTA. We believe that the endeavor
will put us on the right track.
There are areas which are starting to be a problem in our operations. While we maintain top spot in
the country in revenue collection, we are beginning to experience problems in the rural areas, and
we continue to engage the traditional leaders in this regard. The truth is that if people consume
services without corresponding contributions, it will collapse the municipality. We do not want to be
in that space. We continue to rely on electricity as our main revenue source, and it is against this
realization that the Mayor has given us marching orders to come up with new methods to increase
our revenue base.
In this financial year, two very important projects received a thumbs up from a feasibility study point
of view. We finalized the feasibility study for the Waste-Water Reuse Project. This project is
important because it shows how we are able to respond to climate change. As a municipality with
an appetite for growth, it means we will be able to guarantee water supply for our investors. The
feasibility study showed that this is indeed a very viable project and as well as a logical move on our
part.
We also concluded a pre-feasibility study on the Airport, which came out positive. This is also a very
important project to support the economic growth of the City. We are about to embark on a full
feasibility. There are a few other catalytic projects that will not be discussed in this report. What
remains is for us to begin to discuss earnestly our space in the 4th Industrial Revolution and how we
position ourselves to play in that space.

CHAPTER 1: GOVERNANCE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Introduction and Background
MUNICIPAL OVERVIEW
The City of uMhlathuze (KZ 282) is situated on the north-east coast of the province of KwaZulu-
Natal, about 180 kilometers north-east of Durban. The uMhlathuze land area covers 79 334 Ha to
123 325 Ha and incorporates Richards Bay, Empangeni, eSikhaleni, Ngwelezane, eNseleni, Felixton
,Vulindlela, Bhuchanana and Heatonville as well as the rural areas under Traditional Councils
namely, Dube, Mkhwanazi, Khoza (Bhejane), Zungu (Madlebe), Somopho (Mthembu), Obuka (Biyela)
and Obizo (Cebekhulu). The population is estimated at 410 456 as per Community Survey 2016,
although in terms of Census 2011 the total population was estimated at 334 459. The number of
households increased from 67 127 in 2001 to 86 609 in 2011, the current number of households as
per the recent community survey is estimated at 110 503. The municipality borders a coastline that
spans approximately 45 kilometers. The N2 highway traverses the uMhlathuze Municipality in a
north-east direction towards the Swaziland border and south-west towards Durban. It effectively
forms a division between Empangeni and Richards Bay. The R34 Provincial Main Road passes
through Empangeni towards Melmoth.
The uMhlathuze Municipality was established on 5 December 2000 after the demarcation process
and the local government elections of that date. Since its establishment the municipality in 2016 has
been affected by the re-determination of municipal boundaries which changed its geographical
setting to include areas which were previously under the then Ntambanana Municipality. As such it
encompasses the towns of Empangeni, Richards Bay, eSikhaleni, Ngwelezane, eNseleni, Vulindlela,
Felixton, Heatonville and Bhuchanana as well as the Traditional Authority areas under Amakhosi
Dube, Mkhwanazi, Khoza, Mbuyazi, Zungu, Mthembu, Biyela and Cebekhulu. UMhlathuze Local
Municipality has been divided into 34 municipal wards since 2016 local government elections.
The municipality has the benefit of about 45km of coastline of which about 80% is in its natural
state. Linked to its coastal locality is the Richards Bay deep-water port that has been instrumental
in the spatial development of the area in the past and will definitely impact on the areas’ future
spatial development. There is one airport and a couple of land strips in the municipal area.
uMhlathuze is contributing 48% towards GDP within the King Centshwayo District.

The 2016 Community Survey indicates that the population of uMhlathuze Municipality has
increased by just over 22% between 2011 and 2016. It has to be borne in mind that a portion of the
population increase is the result of an enlarged municipal area following the inclusion of three
wards from the former Ntambanana Municipality post the 2016 Local Government Elections.
Table 2: Population Growth Scenarios from 2016 to 2030
From the above, the following is highlighted:
o At a steady population increase of 1,5% per annum, the municipal population will surpass
500 000 people by 2030.
o The municipality will reach a population of 500 000 before 2021 if a population growth rate
of 5% takes place over the next few years.
o At such a 5% per annum population growth rate the number of households in the
municipality will double.

The IDP entails processes through which a municipality, its constituencies, various sector
departments, interested and affected parties come together to prepare clear objectives and
strategies which serve to guide allocation and management of resources within the municipal area
of jurisdiction. The Integrated Development Plan spans a five-year period which is directly linked to
the term of its Council.
UMhlathuze Municipality implement its IDP to fulfil its role of “developmental local governance”.
Central to this role are the objectives and strategies contained in the plan, which guides the
municipality in the realm of: Municipal Budgeting, Institutional re-structuring in order to fulfil the
strategic intent of the plan including integrating various sectors (housing, land use, etc.) with
economic, social and environmental dimensions.
1st Review of the 4th Generation IDP – 2018/2019
All municipalities are charged with the responsibility to develop, review and implement integrated
development planning (IDP). In this regard municipalities are guided by the Local government
system act, Chapter 4 on community participation and chapter 5 on integrated development
planning amongst the host of regulations.
The IDP Review 2018/2019 was compiled in terms of a process plan developed and adopted by
Council in 29 May 2018 to ensure compliance with certain quality standards and to ensure that
proper coordination between and within the spheres of government is established. Council
approved a process plan for the 2018/2019 IDP process on 22 August 2017, a process that which
set out the methods and approach according to which the IDP development process was to be
conducted.
The Fourth Generation IDP and subsequent reviews adopts a concept of an outcome-based
approach which emphasises the following:
That the municipality focuses on achieving the expected real improvements in the life of all
its residents;
That through the integrated development planning, municipality clarifies what the
community expect to achieve, how they expect to achieve it and how will they know whether
they are achieving it;
That the municipality improve the lives of citizens rather than just carrying out its functions.
Credibility
uMhlathuze Municipality prides itself for consistently being recognised and awarded by the Department of
Corporative Governance and Traditional Affairs for remaining amongst the top ten municipalities in the
entire province that produces credible IDPs, in the 2018/2019 IDP uMhlathuze was also awarded for the
24
producing the most credible IDP for six consecutive years, for producing the best quality in the province:
Basic Service Delivery KPA and for producing the best quality in the province: Good Governance. This
achievement is an indication of the ability and readiness of this organisation to deliver on its legislative and
Constitutional mandates.
IDP Roadshows
It is Council’s commitment to constantly engage with all the people of the city. Hence the process
plan makes provision for communities to participate throughout the development of the IDP. The
Key Strategic Outcomes to the Public participation sessions are the following:
• Identification of the real needs of all communities in the uMhlathuze
• Prioritization of such needs and development challenges
• Collective development of appropriate solutions to address such needs
• Empowerment of the local communities to take ownership for their own development
The IDP Roadshows were held as follows, Ward Committees on 31 August 2017, Amakhosi on 01
September 2017, Richards Bay Cluster on 03 September 2017, Operation Sukuma Sakhe (OSS) on
13 September 2017, Empangeni Cluster 10 September 2017, eSikhaleni Cluster on 17 September

CHAPTER 2: SERVICE DELIVERY PERFORMANCE
ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Legislative requirements
Outlined in Section 40 of the Municipal Systems Act of 2000 (MSA), Municipalities must establish
mechanisms to monitor and review its Performance Management System (PMS) so as to measure,
monitor, review, evaluate and improve performance at organisational, departmental and employee
levels. Section 34 of the MSA furthermore point out that the Integrated Development Plan (IDP)
has to be reviewed on an annual basis, and that during the IDP review process the Key Performance
Areas, Key Performance Indicators and Performance Targets be reviewed and this review will form
the basis for the review of the Organisational Performance Management and Performance
Contracts of Senior Managers.
The Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (2001) stipulates that a
“municipality’s performance management system entails a framework that describes and represents
how the municipality’s cycle and processes of performance planning, monitoring, measurement,
review, reporting and improvement will be conducted, organised and managed, including
determining the roles of the different role-players” (Chapter 3, Section 7, Municipal Planning and
Performance Management Regulations, 2001).
Section 46 of the Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000), inter alia stipulates the following:-
"Annual reports
46. (1) A municipality must prepare for each financial year an annual report consisting of -
(a) a performance report reflecting;
(i) the municipality’s, and any service provider’s, performance during that
financial year, also in comparison with targets of and with performance in the
previous financial year;
(ii) the development and service delivery priorities and the performance targets
set by the municipality for the following financial year;
(iii) measures that were or are to be taken to improve performance; ”
Introduction
The first performance management framework was adopted by the uMhlathuze Municipality on 28
May 2002. The framework was reviewed and amended during 2012/2013 financial year to align
with the best practice guidelines suggested by the then Department of Provincial and Local
Government and Traditional Affairs of Kwazulu-Natal. The framework/policy was again reviewed in
June/July 2016 to address the Auditor General finding that the municipality did not have
27
documented and approved internal policies and procedures to address the process of collection,
recording, processing, monitoring and reporting of performance information.
The Reviewed Performance Management Framework and Policy has been enhanced to include the
National Treasury Communications Directive: Framework for Managing Programme Performance
Information (FMPPI). The Local Government Regulations on the appointment and conditions of
employment of Senior Managers (Reg 21 of 17 January 2014) were also included in the reviewed
framework, since it was promulgated after the adoption of the previous Performance Management
Framework and Policy.
The most recent Performance Management Framework/Policy review was on 05 December 2018 per
Council Resolution 12944, including review of the Standard Operating Procedure to clarify the
processes to collect, collate, verify and store of performance information.
The Organisational Performance Management function of uMhlathuze Municipality is delivered by
an internal Performance Management Unit within the Office of the Municipal Manager under the
authority of the Chief Operations Officer. The Performance Management unit consists of two
permanent employees, i.e. one post of Manager: Performance Management and one post of
Performance Management Specialist.
Organisational Performance Management Process
The legislative framework as set out above provides for performance management at various levels
in a municipality including organisational (sometimes also referred to as municipal, corporate or
strategic) level, operational (also referred to as services, departmental or section/team level) and
lastly, at individual level. These levels are however integrated and interdependent on each other.

Key performance indicators have been refined in support of the municipality’s development
priorities and objectives as set out in the revised IDP framework (aligned with the organizational
structure and Council’s priorities) for the five year IDP period to ensure consistency in measuring
and reporting on long terms strategies and projects. Measurable performance targets with regard
to each of these development priorities and objectives were established and are reflected in the
2018/2019 OPMS Scorecard/Top Layer of the Service Delivery Budget implementation Plan. A
process to ensure regular reporting is in place and gets reported quarterly to the Council via the
Performance Audit Committee.
Individual performance agreements and performance plans were prepared in line with provisions
prescribed in the Performance Regulations (Notice 805, published on 1 August 2006 in the official
gazette) and signed by the Municipal Manager, the Chief Operations Officer and Deputy Municipal
Managers (Heads of Department). These agreements are fully implemented and aligned with the
Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan as required in terms of the Municipal Finance
Management Act (No 56 of 2003)
The following diagram illustrates a summary of the reviewed performance management framework
for the City of uMhlathuze for performance measurement and reporting, adhering to the guidelines

Performance Evaluation Panels
Performance Evaluation Panels have initially been established for the assessment of performance of
the Municipal Manager as well as Managers directly accountable to the Municipal Manager per
Council Resolution 4120 of 10 October 2006. The Performance Evaluation Panels were re-affirmed

Performance Evaluation sessions are conducted quarterly. The first and the third quarter
assessment are informal assessments. Formal assessments are conducted for the Second and Fourth
quarter. The final (fourth) and formal performance evaluation sessions of the Municipal Manager
and Managers Directly accountable to the Municipal Manager covering the 2018/2019 financial year
will be performed once the Auditing of the Interim Annual Financial Statements and the
Predetermined Objective has been finalised by the Auditor General. The minutes of all meetings are
available on the GroupWise electronic document management system. The final performance
evaluation will commence once the Annual Report 2018/2019 has been adopted by the Council for
consideration of performance bonuses in terms of the Regulations.
Auditing of Performance Information
The MFMA and the Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations require that the
Municipal Council establish an audit committee consisting of a minimum of three members, where
the majority of members are not employees of the municipality. No Councillor may be a member
of an audit committee. Council shall also appoint a chairperson who is not an employee.
The Regulations give municipalities the option to establish a separate performance audit committee
whereas the MFMA provides for a single audit committee as further being recommended by
National Treasury in terms of their MFMA Circular no. 65 of November 2012. The municipal Council
has however taken a decision to continue with a separate Performance Audit Committee and Audit
Committee to allow for Councillors to serve on the Performance Audit Committee to enable
Councillors to provide input towards Performance Management related matters.
The Audit Committee relies on the work done by the Performance Audit Committee in terms of the
Audit Committee charter and receives and considers reports presented to it by the Performance
Audit Committee at its scheduled meetings.
In carrying out its mandate, the Audit Committee and Performance Audit Committee must have a
good understanding of the strategic goals of the Municipality, strategic focus areas as outlined in
the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan
(SDBIP) and should:
Review and comment on compliance with statutory requirements and performance
management best practices and standards.
Review and comment on the alignment of the Integrated Development Plan, the Budget,
Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan and performance agreements.
Review and comment on relevance of indicators to ensure they are measureable and relate
to services performed by the Municipality.
Review compliance with in-year reporting requirements.
Review the quarterly performance reports submitted by internal audit.
Review and comment on the Municipality’s annual reports within the stipulated timeframes.
Review and comment on the Municipality's performance management system and make
recommendations for its improvement at least twice a year.
33
At least twice during a financial year submit an audit report to the municipal council
concerned.
In reviewing the municipality’s performance management system the Performance Audit Committee
focus on economy, efficiency, effectiveness and impact in so far as the key performance indicators
and performance targets set by the municipality are concerned.
The Internal Audit Executive within the office of the Municipal Manager coordinates and manages
the Internal Audit function within the municipality. A Panel of service providers (SekeleZabiso,
PriceWaterHouseCoopers and Deloitte & Touche) have been appointed to deliver the Internal Audit
function.
As part of their scope, auditing of the Performance Management System and Predetermined
Objectives are performed and reported on for each quarter in terms of the following internal audit
plan:

layer of the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan and the findings in their management
letters will be included in the Annual Report of 2018/2019. The information reported therefore will
be validated for relevance, reliability, completeness, accuracy and correctness.

Customer Satisfaction
The most recent Customer Satisfaction Survey was conducted in August 2017. The comprehensive
analysis feedback report was reported to Council on 17 October 2017 and is available in the
GroupWise document management system as well as on Council’s official website.
(www.umhlathuze.gov.za under the “Performance Management” link. The next Customer
Satisfaction Survey will be conducted in the 2019/2020 financial year once resources are available.
Annual Organisational Performance Information
Performance Monitoring underpins the Municipality’s Integrated Development Plan in terms of
reviewing progress regularly in achieving the priorities and delivering value for money services.
Early investigation into variances enables remedial action taken where appropriate.
The Annual Performance Report highlights the key performance measures included in the
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) review for the 2018/2019 financial year. These priority measures
constitute the Organisational Performance Scorecard (Including the Top Layer of the SDBIP on basic
service delivery targets) for 2018/2019.
The annual performance reporting on the 2018/2019 financial year has been completed and
reflected in the Organisational Performance Scorecard / Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets set in
the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan in a table format (as prescribed by KwaZulu Natal
Department of Corporate Governance and Traditional Affairs). The Top Layer Service Delivery
Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) consolidated service delivery targets as contemplated in
National Treasury Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) Circular 13 guide has been included
subsequently at mid-year following the review from the Auditor General during the 2017/2018
financial year auditing process.
The Draft Organisational Performance repot was presented to the Auditor General on 30 August
2019 for auditing together with the Annual Financial Statements (based on the interim results).
This Annual Performance Report (Tables - Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets set in the Service
Delivery Budget Implementation Plan) should be read in conjunction with the uMhlathuze Annual
Report, including the Annual Financial Statements as well as Auditor General Report on the Annual
Financial Statements and Performance on Predetermined Objectives Information for the 2018/2019
financial year.
On 30 June 2019, 84.48% of organisational performance targets (Top Layer of Service Delivery
Targets set in Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan) have been met within 95% or exceeded
the annual target. An average percentage achievement of 108,6% against the annual key
performance targets set has been recorded, reflecting an improvement when compared with
2017/2018 financial year where 78.57% targets were met with an average percentage achievement
of 113.32%. Areas for improvement are reflected in the relevant column directly in the
Organisational Performance Scorecard / Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets for 2018/2019 (OPMS
35
Scorecard, including the Top Layer of Service Delivery Targets set in the Service Delivery Budget
Implementation Plan). Accountable managers have provided comments to put performance into
context and identified actions taken to address instances where under performance are reported.
The traffic light system used to report performance is as follow:
o Blue – Performance above 2% of the target
o Green – Performance meets target
o Amber – Performance within 5% of target
o Red – performance more than 5% adverse of target
In relation to the 2018/2019 year end performance results, the final results are analysed as follows:
o 84.48% of targets have been met within 95% or exceed against the 2018/2019
annual targets set, an improvement when compared to the 2017/2018 financial
year where 78.57% of targets were met within 95%
o 15.52% of 2018/2019 annual targets were not achieved, a decrease when
compared to 2017/2018 financial year where 21.43% of targets were not met.
Organisational priorities can be summarized as follows:
Table 8: The performance results for the organizational priorities
Traffic Light Status 2018/2019 2017/2018 2016/2017 2015/2016 2014/2015
Blue – Exceeded target 40% 36% 51% 49% 36%
Green – Met target 34% 32% 11% 11% 26%

10% 11% 16% 22% 21%
Red – Missed Target by more
than 5 %
16% 21% 22% 19% 17%
It is worth noting the impact of factors such as budget and staff retention whilst continuously
increased demand for services putting pressure on achievement of challenging targets. Ultimately
the municipality has achieved savings for the financial year, maintained good levels of service
delivery (as demonstrated through comparative information) and seen increased levels of
satisfaction across a number of services.
The following chart illustrates overall performance for the 2018/2019 financial year with
performance achieved during the four previous financial years, 2017/2018, 2016/2017, 2015/2016
and 2014/2015 financial years respectively, however taken into account the increase from 37
performance indicators reported in previous years to 58 performance indicators in 2017/2018 and
in 2018/2019 financial year.

The municipality improved in the area of community liaison and public communication and
exceeding the number of planned IDP and Budget roadshow meetings. The annual target for ward
committee management meetings and community meetings were exceeded by recording three-
hundred-and-ninety (390) ward committee management meetings held against the annual target of
three-hundred-and-forty (340). The total number of public meetings held was two-hundred-and-
eighty-five (285) against the annual target of one-hundred-and-thirty-six (136) meetings for the
year, therefore exceeded the target by far.
The IDP and Budget Roadshows, Ward Committee Management, Stakeholder Liaison and Council
meetings were successfully scheduled and convened in accordance with Council’s Standing Rules of
Order to ensure ongoing community involvement in municipal decision making.
2. Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure Development
(Average 103.2% achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 112% achieved in 2017/2018)
Access to Domestic Water supply
The basic water service infrastructure improved during the financial year with a total of 105 905
(95.84%) of households connected to the water network within the municipal area. The target of
one-thousand (1 000) water-metering connection upgrades was achieved and exceeded since one-
thousand-one-hundred-and-eighteen (1118) new water meters were installed (yard connections),
contributing to an upgrade in water supply services.
Access to Domestic Sanitation services
A total of 89 444 (80.94%) of households do have access to basic sanitation services. Two-
thousand-three-hundred-and-forty-one (2 341) additional VIP’s were constructed, not meeting the
annual target of two-thousand-five-hundred (2 500). The annual target was based on the 5 year IDP
implementation plan, however the actual achievement resulted from the balance of the VIP's
constructed in terms of the final year of a three year contract and as result of an over achievement
in the previous financial year. The three years’ contract ended in this financial year and the SCM
process initiated for a new three year contract as from 2019/2020.
Access to Domestic Electricity supply
The municipality is delivering electricity supply to thirty-five-thousand-four hundred-and-thirty-
four (35 434) households and has connected one-hundred-and-eighteen (118) additional
households against the amended annual target of one-hundred-and-twenty-seven (127) to improve
access to basic electricity services in the municipal electricity licensed area. This target remains
reliant on consumers applying for this service. The mid-year emended annual target from one
hundred (100) to one-hundred-and-twenty-seven (127) new electrical domestic connections was
not achieved due to less applications received in 2019 as expected over the first two quarters of
2018/2019. The municipality is in a position to deal with all applications received.
Access to Domestic Solid Waste removal services
A total 77 028 (67.74%) of households is receiving a weekly solid waste (refuse) removal service.
Two-thousand-one-hundred-and-seventy-two (2 172) additional households are receiving this
38
service against the annual target of two-thousand (2 000) additional households, mainly in the rural
wards, therefore exceeding the annual target.
Public transport infrastructure services
In provision of public transport facilities and infrastructure in the urban and rural areas, sixty-three-
comma-four-five (63.45) kilometers of rural gravel roads were established (gravelling) against the
amended annual target from twenty-eight (28) kilometers to fifty-nine-comma-five-
nine (59.59) kilometers, therefore exceeding the annual target. The amended annual target of
three-hundred-and-twelve (312) kilometers for the maintenance of rural gravel roads (grading) was
over-achieved, since four-hundred-and-thirty-six-comma-nine (436.9) kilometers were graded. Due
to higher demands by the community, rural gravel roads were re-prioritized and funds re-allocated
on the maintenance budget to meet the community demands.
In terms of establishing of new tarred roads, the amended annual target of one-comma-eighty-
eight (1.88) kilometers was not achieved since zero-comma-five-seven-seven (0.577) kilometers
were achieved. The appointed contractor has underperformed during the last quarter due to
financial reasons, however the situation is now stable and the contractor has brought in additional
resources to improve progress. There has been a remarkable increase in progress since July 2019.
The rehabilitation of tarred roads was prioritized and amended at mid-year from eight (8)
kilometers to eighteen (18.6) kilometers based on the budget and project plans. Eighteen-comma-
six (18.6) kilometers of tarred roads were rehabilitated at mid-year. The amended annual target of
fifteen-thousand-three-hundred (15300) m² of tarred roads to be maintained, dealing with potholes
was slightly under achieved since fourteen-thousand-three-hundred-and-thirty-seven-comma-
seventy-two (14 337.72) m² of tarred roads were repaired. The target was set based on the baseline
and is dependent on the actual occurrence of potholes. The under achievement on the target
resulted from below average rainfall therefore lesser potholes formed and patching repaired.
Additional achievements on the Top Layer Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan
consolidate performance indicators analysed as follows:
Water and wastewater services:
The target of 100% restoration of water supply for both Planned and Unplanned reticulation within
eight (8) hours was achieved throughout the financial year with an average restoration time of five-
comma-forty-four (5.44) hours.
The amended annual target for the reduction/maintaining of water losses at twenty-two (22) %
throughout the 2018/2019 financial year was not met. Water losses was at 23% in quarter one, 26%
in quarter two, 23% in quarter 3 and ended at 25% on 30 June 2019. Additional funds are provided
for in the 2019/2020 Capital Budget for additional control valves.
The quality of drinking water to comply with the South African national standards at latest SANS
241 (between ninety-five (95)% and ninety-nine (99)% has been achieved consistently throughout
the financial year with an average reported level of 99.3% at 30 June 2019.
39
The quality of wastewater compliance of ≥90% of cumulative risk ratings based on DWA standard
was achieved, since 90% on average has been achieved with an improvement from 87%
achievement in the 2017/2018 financial year. Process Audits were conducted in plants to determine
the process anomalies. Provision is made in 2019/2020 Capital Budget to address plants which
have the highest Non - Conformances.
Electrical Infrastructure:
The annual target of ninety (90)% execution of maintenance of electrical distribution network as per
maintenance plan and approved budget was over achieved, since ninety-eight-comma-two (98.2)%
realised on average throughout the 2018/2019 financial year.
An average of four percent (4%) non-technical electricity losses was achieved against the annual
target to be kept within eight percent (8%). An average of four percent (4%) non-technical
electricity losses was recorded for the 2018/2019 financial year. The achievement improved from
six-comma-eight percent (6.8%) recorded at the end of the 2017/2018 financial year.
An average of eighty-seven percent (87%) achievement to restore general street lighting faults
within seventy-two (72) hours (excluding cable faults or stolen equipment) was achieved against the
annual target of ninety percent (90%). Recourse challenges were experienced in quarter one has
since been addressed with a contractor been appointed after not achieving the target in quarter
one to attend to backlog and maintenance of Streetlights, where-after the ninety percent (90%)
target has been achieved consistently for the last three quarters.
Public transport facilities infrastructure:
The amended annual target of one-hundred-and-thirty-eight (138) kilometres of storm water open
drains to be maintained was over achieved due to more emphasis placed on street cleaning and
storm water pipe cleaning, rather than manholes (kerb inlets). Two-hundred-and-thirty-one-
comma-fifty-eight (231.58) kilometres of storm water open drains were achieved, however
compromised the annual target of three-thousand-and-seventy-six (3076) manholes (kerb inlets) to
be maintained by achieving one-thousand-four-hundred-and-seventy-eight (1478) manholes (kerb
inlets).
100% Maintenance on municipal owned railway sidings resulting from monthly inspections has
been achieved throughout all four quarters of the financial year.
Municipal Infrastructure:
In the IDP strategy to improve the reliability and service life of Municipal Infrastructure, facilities and
assets, the annual performance target to ensure eighty percent (80%) implementation of the
Electrical, Water and Sanitation and Roads Asset Management Plan, eighty-five percent (85%)
implementation was achievement at 30 June 2019 and completion of phase two will be by
30 September 2019.
The performance target to ensure one-hundred percent (100%) planned maintenance implemented
40
on Building and Structure as per Maintenance Plan and Budget allocation was successfully achieved
with one-hundred percent (100%) reported achievement consistently throughout the 2018/2019
financial year.
On the performance target for the replacement of Vehicles and Plant, Procurement of new plant in
terms of Capital Budget, one-hundred percent (100%) achievement was recorded against the
annual target of one-hundred percent (100%). The Fleet as ordered has been delivered, thus all fleet
ordered has been received.
The amended annual target of eighty-five percent (85%) fleet availability (including minor accident
damage that can be dealt with by workshops but excludes major accident repairs) was achieved
since an average of ninety-two percent (92%) was achieved during the 2018/2019 financial year.
3. Local Economic Development and Cross Cutting
(Average 137.4% achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 116.8% achieved in 2017/2018)
There were no targets for the construction of houses during 2018/2019 financial year due to the
fact the all projects were in the Implementation of bulk services Phase which is Empangeni IRDP,
Dumisane Makhaye Village Phase- 6 and 8 and Aquadene. For the Aquadene Housing Project the
installation of bulk water and bulk sewer services were completed.
A new IDP Strategy to deal with the transfer of Post Housing stock to qualifying
occupants/residents was included since 2017/2018 financial year. The initial annual target of three-
hundred-and-eighty-nine (389) housing units to be transferred was amended at mid-year to sixty
(60) housing units to be transferred, due to challenges experienced with beneficiaries outstanding
municipal accounts before the transfers could realise. The amended annual target was achieved
and exceeded since momentum has been obtained over the last two quarters by achieving the
transfer of one-hundred-and-nine (109) housing units. The implementing agent is proceeding with
work and it is trusted that the remainder of available housing stock will be met in the 2019/2020
financial year.

hundred-and-sixty-four 464 unemployed youth benefitted through training in ten (10) technical
skills programmes presented in the 2018/2019 financial year.
The annual target for creating one-thousand-two-hundred-and-twenty-eight (1228) jobs through
EPWP incentives/projects were successfully achieved since one-thousand-five-hundred-and-
ten (1 510) jobs were created, therefore exceeding the target by far.
In terms of provision of recreational facilities and environmental services to the community, the
annual target to upgrade three (3) community facilities was met since three (3) were completed. The
amended annual target of five (5) sport fields (facilities) upgraded/constructed was met since
five (5) projects were completed. New projects are well underway for the new financial year.

five (5) mass recreational programmes be implemented was over achieved since five (5) Golden
41

the financial year.
4. Municipal Transformation and Institutional Development

Human resources was able to meet the annual targets set for the recruitment and retention of staff
from designated employment equity groups and however still experiences a high level in staff
turnover. The municipality continues with the implementation of the Employment Equity Plan
during the 2019/2020 financial year.
In terms of the target set for employing female by the Municipality, twenty-two (22) females were
appointed against the amended annual target of twenty (20). A total of seven hundred-and-sixty-
three (763) females are employed by the municipality on 30 June 2019. This target cannot be
measured accumulatively as there are factors such as resignations, retirement, dismissal, death and
or ill health which affect the total number of gender employed.
There were fifty (50) youth appointed against the annual target of thirty-eight (38). A total of six-
hundred-and-seventy-seven (527 permanent and 150 temporary) youth were employed by the
municipality on 30 June 2019. No additional employees living with disability was appointed against

those positions become vacant.
A total of two-hundred-and-twenty-four (224) Workplace Skills training programmes was
conducted during the financial year against the annual target of one-hundred-and-twenty (120),
resulting in an over achievement. The percentage of the annual budget spent on the Workplace
Skills Plan was slightly under achieved due to one training session planned for the quarter four
which was cancelled since a training provider had to resolve issues with SARS and another training
session that had to be attended by an official during the quarter will now attend in the next
financial year and this affected the budget spent. The target to spend zero-comma-eight percent
(0.80%) of the operating budget was slightly over-achieved since zero-comma-eight-zero-five
percent (0.805%) was recorded.
5. Financial Viability and Financial Management
(Average 90.6 % achieved in 2018/2019 on KPI’s against 95.5% achieved in 2017/2018)
The reported achievements on the Financial Viability and Financial Management performance
indicator ratios as prescribed in the National General Performance Indicators and reflecting in the
Organisational performance Scorecard/ Top Layer of the SDBIP is based on the interim financial
results as at 30 June 2019 and will be updated in the Annual Performance Report once the
validation process by the AG Auditing process is finalised.
The municipality has performed fairly well under the financial viability and financial management
42
indicator. Over the past financial year the municipality has seen the economy being stretched and
this was affecting every citizen of the City. Taking into account the effects of the economy the City
has remained resilient in its quest of doing better in managing the public funds. Our internal
controls and shrewd financial discipline has placed the City in a good position of delivering services
to its consumers
The financial viability of the municipality is hereby reported based on the Interim results of the year
ended in 30 June 2019. Once the final figures have been determined the correct numbers will then
be published in the financial statements and the ratios will be recalculated.
The following are the interim results:
1. Debtors Collection rate : 99.71%
2. Collection rate in days: 43.48 days
3. Debt coverage ratio: 12.06
4. Cost coverage ratio: 2.11
5. Capital expenditure: 82%
6. Overall Grants Expenditure: 101%
Taking the above ratios into account it suffices to say the municipality has performed satisfactory
on capital expenditure at 82% (interim results) which is 12% less than the target of 95%. The
municipality has spent more than 101% of Capital Grants received from National Government. This
means that some projects which are multi-year and the progress is ahead of the actual funding.
Annual Organisational Performance Scorecard/ Top Layer Service Delivery Targets set in the Service
Delivery Budget Implementation Plan
The following table reflects the organisational performance targets and achievements as reflected in
the Integrated Development Plan, as well as the performance targets and achievements as reflected
in the Top Layer Service Delivery Targets set in the Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan
consolidate performance indicators in relation to the achievements of the previous financial year as
well as reflecting corrective measures and targets to be taken in the 2018/2019 financial year in
cases of under achievement:
Section 46(1)(a) of the Municipal Systems Act (No. 32 of 2000) require the Municipality to reflect the
municipality’s, and any service provider’s, performance during the financial year reported on. The
uMhlathuze municipality is fortunate not to be reliant on external service providers in provision of
Basic Services, i.e. water, sanitation, solid waste removal services delivered by the district
municipality like most other local municipalities do.
Water distribution to the community by uMhlathuze is delivered through water purification by
WSSA and through purified water purchased from the Mhlathuze Water Board. Electricity is
distributed to communities by uMhlathuze Municipality in the municipal licensed area, through
purchasing electricity from ESKOM. Other Basic Services delivered by uMhlathuze Municipality
include, solid waste removal (refuse collection) and sanitation. The number of households served
43
with basic services as reflected in the table below reflects the municipality’s and any service
provider’s performance on delivering basic services during the financial year, also a comparison with
performance in the previous financial year as contemplated in section 46(1)(a) of the Municipal
Systems Act (No. 32 of 2000).
The information reflected below has been subjected to validation during the Internal Auditing
process as well as the Auditor General through their annual audit process (September to
November2019) after being reported to the Executive Committee and the Council on
28 August 2019, and the Performance Audit Committee on 29 August 2019 per item on RPT167436.
Reports are available for inspection.
Resulting from the Auditor General auditing process during 2017/2018, the additional Top Layer
SDBIP consolidated service delivery targets were subsequently included as part of the
Organisational Performance Scorecard at mid-year 2018/2019 review (reflected in a different font
colour – purple) in the table below. The reported achievements on the Financial Viability and
Financial Management key performance area with performance indicator ratios will be updated
once validated by the AG together with the audited Annual Financial Statements.
NOTE: The planned annual targets for 2019/2020 financial year, relating to the total number of
households provided with basic services, reflecting in the far right-hand column in the
organisational performance scorecard are based on the total of 110 503 households aligned to the
Statistics South Africa 2016 Survey.

CHAPTER 3: ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE
Office of the Municipal Manager
NI MTHETHWA CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER
Introduction
Cities drive economic productivity and prosperity. In the last few years urbanization has advanced
so have global economic outputs, noticeable poverty reduction and improved social well-being.
However, many cities still face challenges of poor infrastructure, migration of poverty, pollution,
unemployment, congestion, segregation, sprawl and other unintended consequences. The City of
uMhlathuze has significantly improved service delivery and developed strategies to drive
economic growth, human capital development and access to basic services. Against this
backdrop, The Office of the Municipal Manager (OMM) remains the epicentre of driving city
strategy, innovation and service delivery excellence. In this regard, the city continues to receive
accolades for its achievements in service delivery and good governance.
The Office of the Municipal Manager is supported by the Chief Operations Officer, as well as
specialists responsible for integrated development planning, performance management, internal
audit, communications, and enterprise risk management. The strategic role of the OMM is to
ensure a coherent and integrated approach to service delivery by all departments and alignment
of programmes and projects in order to achieve maximum impact. Access to basic services by all
residents of the city remains a priority and this can be only be achieved through good
governance and financial prudence.
To this end, the following key achievements have been recorded in terms of basic service delivery:
1. Percentage of households with access to water is at 95.84%.
2. Percentage of households with access to sanitation is at 80.94%.
3. Percentage of households with access to electricity in areas serviced by the city is at 100%
excluding infills and Eskom supplied areas backlogs.
52

year.
8. Capital expenditure for 2018/2019 was 88.52%
9. Overall achievement of Organizational Performance Scorecard is 84.48%.
International Relations
The National Development Plan (NDP) provides a more robust argument for South Africa to
enhance its regional and international position as reflected in the Department of International
Relations and Cooperation Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013. The NDP notes that the shift of global
power towards developing countries provides South Africa with an opportunity to maximise its
regional and international influence over the next 20-30 years. In pursuit of strategically locating
the City of uMhlathuze within the global cities network, a number of partnerships with strategic
international organisations and twinning arrangements with cities have been concluded to give
effect to this aspiration. This includes finalisation of membership with world organisations
responsible for a variety of programmes and projects that will add value to the City of
uMhlathuze going forward. The City of uMhlathuze is also part of the Maputo KwaZulu Natal
(MAPKZN) Trade Initiative aimed at stimulating cross border trade solutions that will enable
regional economic growth through linking current and new players to the trade value chain.
To this end, international relations is one of the catalysts that enable the municipality to gain
exceptional competitive advantage for economic growth, sustainable development and
development of best practices in a quest to improve the quality of life of all the people of the
City.

Smart City
South Africa Connect, the national broadband policy and the associated strategy and plan, gives
expression to South Africa’s vision in the National Development (NDP) of a seamless information
infrastructure by 2030 that will underpin a dynamic and connected vibrant information society
and a knowledge economy that is more inclusive, equitable and prosperous. As envisaged in the
NDP, at the core of this will be a widespread communication system that will be universally
accessible across the country at a cost and quality that meets the communication of citizens,
business and the public sector and provides access to the creation and consumption of a wide
54
range of converged applications and services required for effective economic and social
participation. Accordingly, the City of uMhlathuze has been approved for the implementation of
Phase 2 SA Connect Project focusing on extending broadband connectivity to rural nodes. Again,
the City of uMhlathuze has approximately 90km of fibre cable and established fourteen (14) free
public Wi-Fi Zones. Part of embracing the smart city concept, the city has also introduced
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and asset life cycle management system during the 2018/19
financial year.
Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management, Exchange, Learning and Innovation initiatives are intended to promote
knowledge sharing activities, effective and efficient use of resources, while laying a strong
foundation on which to build a truly cross-cutting, City-wide learning and knowledge sharing
capability. Knowledge Management focuses on how organisations create, capture, measure, share
and make use of intangible assets is increasingly important in a fast-changing knowledge
economy. Organisations have always managed knowledge, even if they did not use the term
knowledge management.
During the 2018/19 financial year, the City of uMhlathuze continued with uploading of strategic
documents on the e-platform as part of on- going research in terms of local and international
best practices, journals, academic papers, models in order to create a repository of information as
part of shared e-platform to facilitate easy access to strategic information and promote culture of
continuous learning at both strategic and operational level.
The city also initiated and organised masterclasses as a mechanism to promote learning and
growth as well as knowledge exchange for management and staff in general including
benchmarking exercises. Masterclasses included M&E, Art of Facilitating Urban Strategic Planning
etc., and enhanced strategic engagement between the City of uMhlathuze and the University of
Zululand to promote knowledge exchange and innovation. Again, the city produced a concept
document on the City of uMhlathuze’s competitive advantage and critical success factor as part of
knowledge management and preservation.

Risk Assessment
Our risk registers are living documents in which we record the threats and opportunities which
are present or may arise in the fulfilling of our mandate.
Risk Identification, Assessment and Analysis takes place on three different levels:
Operational: Each business unit maintains a register of its risks which is used as a tool to
monitor and manage threats to the achievement of the objectives of the business unit. Such
registers are updated monthly and are used as the basis for sectional meeting discussions as well
as for tracking of mitigations.
Strategic: The municipality has in place a register which contains an assessment of the risks
related to organisational objectives as set out in the Integrated Development Plan. Risk
assessment is done annually and the document is reviewed quarterly and when necessary in order
to ensure that changes in the various environments are taken into account.
Project: All projects with a value of R10million and above are required to have in
place project risk registers, which assists management to proactively manage any risks which may
threaten the successful completion of projects.
Communications, Marketing and Outdoor Advertising
Business Function
Communication is a key strategic service to ensure that information is widely accessible
within the public space, to engage citizens in conversation around critical issues and to
empower citizens to participate in not only shaping City of uMhlathuze policies and
bylaws but also in taking up opportunities that affect their lives.
Communication plays a central role to disseminate and cascade council resolutions and
programmes to relevant internal and external audiences through proper and formal
mediums of communication timeously.
61
The vision and the mission of the City of uMhlathuze ought to be carried to greater
heights through robust marketing and promotions in order to achieve its objectives of
being a port city offering a high quality of life for all its citizens through sustainable
development and inclusive economic growth.
The Brand uMhlathuze has gradually gained a lot of traction in KwaZulu-Natal and
Nationally through good performance and clean governance and as a result, it has been
listed in the Top 5 leading municipalities with good finances in the year 2019 by the
National Treasury, thus depicting itself as a preferred investment destination of choice.
Key Deliverables
Communication and Marketing therefore plays a central role in packaging all products,
services and Council programmes then sell them to different markets and audiences to
solicit strategic partnerships for investments, encourage public participation and
empower communities with information for them to make sound decisions on their lives.
The Communication Unit is the custodian of the brand: City of uMhlathuze. The unit has a
responsibility to promote, protect and develop the brand through different creative
programmes and awareness activations. The City of uMhlathuze demographics dictates
massive effective public relations and media campaigns in order to meet expectations,
communicate services and product offering, facilitate feedback from stakeholders, sector
groups, companies and multilingual and multi-racial communities living side by side. The
accurate audience segmentation contained in the Integrated Marketing and
Communication Strategy effectively makes it easy to achieve this goal.
The City took a gigantic step to review and approve the new Outdoor advertising By-laws
provide for the effective regulation of all outdoor advertising on municipal property to
ensure the health and safety of the public and to protect the environment. The new By-
law also allows for creativity brought about by new trends in this sector and considers the
aesthetics in the City of uMhlathuze.
62
Outdoor advertising is one of the most cost- effective forms of advertising on the market.
Billboards and other signs as well as banner programs are a great way to reach the
masses where they live, commute, work and socialise, costs far less, and are more
environmentally friendly than other mediums of advertising.
Outdoor advertising offers the perfect solution to reach these busy audiences while they
are on the move. Council's Outdoor Advertising By-laws are aligned with the South
African Manual for Outdoor Advertising Control (SAMOAC). They are designed to create
opportunities for the private sector to participate in a process whereby various types of
advertising media can be applied for in order to advertise, which also affords service
providers an opportunity to benefit financially. The By-laws make provision for
organisations to advertise their activities and to make the community aware of social,
religious and sport fund raising events. This gives Council the opportunity to generate
funds, but to also allow advertising in a formal way, whereby the public can be informed
of opportunities and events.

COMMUNITY SERVICES
T MATHEBULA DEPUTY MUNICIPAL MANAGER COMMUNITY SERVICES
Introduction
The Department of Community Services is one of the largest and most dynamic departments in
the Municipality. It is divided into the following Sections:
Public Health and Emergency Services
- Waste Management Services
- Air Quality Services
- Occupational Clinic Services
- Fire and Rescue and Disaster Management
Recreational and Environmental Services
- Sport and Recreational
- Parks Services
- Arts and Culture
Public Safety and Security
- Traffic Services
- Security Service
This Department may be easily referred to its main responsibilities as environmental protection,
community safety, emergency services, beatification, social cohesion, promotion of learning and
sport participation.
116
Regarding activities linked to Environment Protection, waste management functions as expected.
These are handled and addressed as expected. Coupled with this service is a steadily growing
recycle programme, currently standing at 35% of total waste collected.
The cherry on top is the programme of education awareness against littering and its effect on the
environment.
Pollution Control is also functioning as expected. This service involves proactive inspection of
companies that are or have the potential to be heavy polluters. Preventive systems are put in
place or arrangements are made to manage the times and ways of releasing potential pollutants.
The Municipality’s strength lies in being able to measure a series of particular pollutants and
therefore manage the levels of pollution. Air quality stations are installed in this regard.
Parks Management is functioning. Room exists for improvement of ways of functioning. This
chain of work involves cleaning, pruning trees and cutting grass at community parks.
These activities are extended to road verges and municipal open spaces. Post attendance of the
Salzburg Global Seminar, consideration is being made to introduce programming in parks.
Linked to parks are cemeteries. These are well-kept, as expected. A process is unfolding of
exploring alternative methods of burial, while preparing the soil for extended underground burial.
With regard to Emergency Services, fire and rescue functions have gone as planned. Coupled
with this function is the programme of training learner fire fighters.
Importantly also, the Department does proactive inspection of potentially hazardous industries
and prescribe changes where required. There is still much work to be done in the area of disaster
management. In the meantime, a building has been bought to be used as a disaster
management centre. Also a service provider has been appointed to carry out assessments and
compile a Level 2 Disaster Management Plan. Once completed, the Plan will inform future
interventions.
Various mass participation and sport development programmes are being implemented. The
Department is being challenged to redefine ‘development’ and diversify sporting codes.
Processes are underway to address this.
Various arts and culture programmes are also being implemented, some in collaboration with
King Cetshwayo District Municipality and the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Arts and Culture.
There is an opportunity to expand on issues of heritage.
In terms of Community Safety, Traffic Law Enforcement got off to a slow start; low statistics, low
income. In a quest to facilitate change, the position of Manager: Traffic and Licencing Services
was filed. Concurrently, a contract was secured for camera law enforcement NB. Fourteen
Wardens were sent for formal training, certification and registration.
Another major development in Traffic Law enforcement was the implementation of the
programme for impounding of animals. Implementation is in line with the KwaZulu-Natal Pound
Act. The impounding process was preceded by seeking authorization from the Council and two
cycles of public consultation – first with the broad public then specifically with owners of animals.
117
Services under Motor-vehicle and driver licencing and testing are running as expected (learner
licence tests, renewal of driver and motor-vehicle licences, issuing of permits.
This year also came with the appointment of Manager: Security. This has been helpful in that it
has brought focused attention to matters related to Security.
The area focuses on VIP Protection and management of five external security companies. Primary
challenges have been in the areas of burglaries and theft. Systems are put in place to mitigate
these.
For all the discussions above, specific statistical information is shared below.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND EMERGENCY SERVICES SECTION
WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
“PRESERVING HEALTHLY ENVIRONMENT”
The Constitution of South Africa Act No.108 of 1996 provides the foundation for
environmental regulation and policy in South Africa. The rights to environmental protection
and to live in an environment that is not harmful to health or well-being is set out in the bill
of right (Section 24 of chapter2).
The National Environment Management Waste Act, 2008 (Act No.59 of 2008) entrenches best
practices in waste management into law, replacing the out dated and unsustainable “end of
pipe” approach with a new, and more environmentally responsible and sustainable approach.
The Act deals with minimising the consumption of natural resources , waste generation,
recycling, waste disposal, prevention of pollution, promotion of waste services, remedying
land degradation, and achieving integrated waste management reporting and planning.
The Waste Management Section is divided into the following two sub-divisions:
- Waste Management: Operations
- Waste Management: Administration and Compliance
Key deliverables
The main responsibilities of Waste Management Services are as follows,
- Collection and disposal of waste within the jurisdiction of the City of uMhlathuze.
- Waste minimization re-use and recycling of waste
- Skips management and eradication of illegal dumping and,
- Community education and awareness campaigns.
118
All the above objectives conform to the legal framework, through adopted Integrated Waste
Management Plan (IWMP). The IWMP underwent a second review this year, in line with the
Integrated Development Plan (IDP). Council adoption of the second review of the IWMP was
on 29 May 2019 (RPT 166872).
Strategic goals
The eight strategic goals around which the uMhlathuze Waste Management Strategy in line
with National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS), are structured as follows:
- Goal 1: Promote waste minimisation, re-use, recycling and recovery of waste.
- Goal 2: Ensure the effective and efficient delivery of waste services.
- Goal 3: Grow the contribution of the waste sector to the green economy
- Goal 4: Ensure that people are aware of the impact of waste on their health, well-being
and the environment.
- Goal 5: Achieve integrated waste management planning.
- Goal 6: Ensure sound budgeting and financial management for waste services.
- Goal 7: Provide measures to remediate contaminated land.
- Goal 8: Establish effective compliance with and enforcement of the Waste Act.
In terms of City of uMhlathuze Waste Management the following has been achieved, in line
with its strategic goals,
GOAL 1: PROMOTE WASTE MINIMISATION, RE-USE, RECYCLING AND RECOVERY OF
WASTE
The main aim of this goal is to implement the Basic Waste Management Hierarchy as shown
below, that clearly promotes that waste must either be Reduced, Re-used, Recycled or
Recovered (in a form of energy) prior to taking the last option of disposing waste in the
landfill.
Figure 55: Basic Waste Management Hierarchy
Figure: Basic Waste Management Hierarchy
119
Recycling programs are the main programs currently promoted by the City to achieve this
goal, through separation of waste from source (Kerb Recycling), establishment of Material
Recovery Facilities (MRFs), increasing the recycling rate through individuals and buyback
centres. Table 32: The following table shows breakdown of waste recycled versus waste landfilled in this year.
Currently the City is standing at a recycling rate of 32%; which is higher than the City’s set
annual target of 22% and 25% legislative target set from the National Waste Management
Strategy (2011).
Figure 56: Recycling Rate achieved in 2018/2019 Financial Year
All this further contributes to Goal 3, which deals with contribution of waste sector to green
economy. Under this goal, several programs have been implemented in order to minimise
waste that goes to the landfill site.
The local community is benefiting in both ways, by the fact that the environmental risk has
been reduced and also by taking part in green economy.

There are a number of Kerb Recycling initiatives that are conducted within the City in order
to ensure separation of waste at source. Currently, there are five areas where kerb recycling is
taking place, which are Meerensee, Birdswood, Felixton, Brackenham and Esikhaleni J1
Section.
In these areas each household receives a yellow plastic bag, supplied by the Municipality, to
separately store recyclables and utilize trolley bin for unrecyclable domestic waste.
Recyclables from Meerensee and Birdswood are collected by a Municipal bush truck to
Material Recovery Facilities on the day of removal for further sorting.
Recyclables from Felixton, Brackenham and Esikhaleni J1 Section are collected by three
separate waste-preneurs with their own transport, on the day of removal and sort at their
recycling sites.
Establishment of Material Recovery Facilities (MRF)
This is in line with the National Waste Management Strategy, the Waste Act and the City of
uMhlathuze Waste Management Strategy. The fact that waste is a resource with an
unlimited potential for job creation cannot be over emphasised. It bears noting that a
platform for role players in recycling is not fairly levelled. Therefore, the Municipality has
constructed Material Recovery Facilities which are already operating and contributing to the
community directly. These include Mzingazi Material Recovery Facility, eNseleni Material
Recovery Facility and Alton Material Recovery Facility. In addition to these, Ntambanana
Material Recovery Facility has been recently renovated and will also be utilized as an
establishment to sort waste and promote recycling initiatives within the area.
uMzingazi Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
Local waste-preneurs that were already recycling in the area are utilizing the site. These
waste-preneurs have been on site since September 2017 and the municipality is providing
them with recyclables from the kerb recycling system in addition to their own collections.
In the new financial year there are plans to install a small shelter that will assist waste-
preneurs on site to work better in all weather conditions within the region.
121
Figure 57: Material Recovery Facility in Mzingazi (Ward 1) where local waste-preneurs are sorting recyclable waste
Enseleni Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
Local women waste-preneurs from the area are currently working on site. The municipality is
also providing them with recyclables from the kerb recycling system in addition to their own
collections.
In the new financial year there are plans to upgrade the site through the addition of a
concrete ramp and a small shelter. The ramp will allow the municipality to deliver community
skips to the site to sort and collect recyclable waste prior to waste being transported to the
landfill. This will assist the local waste-preneurs increase their tonnages and will greatly assist
the municipality in minimizing tonnages going to the landfill.
Figure 58: Material Recovery Facility in Nseleni (Ward 7) where local women waste-preneurs are sorting recyclable waste.
Alton Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Transfer Station
This site is used for both material recovery and also as a transfer station, and this helps to
decrease the level of illegal dumping of green waste in the Richards Bay area. This transfer
station only takes green waste but from time to time some community members bring
general domestic waste, tyres and some building materials, which is prohibited.
Separation of waste recyclables at Alton MRF is on-going and this site is also attached to the
municipality kerb recycling system that contributes to job creation.
122
Figure 59 : Material Recovery Facility in Alton (Ward 2) where Wildlands Trust is sorting recyclable
waste and where Green Waste is collected.
Ntambanana Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and Transfer Station
The site was inherited from Ntambanana Municipality; however, it could not serve the
surrounding community due to structural defects. Hence, the site has been recently
renovated during this year and will be fully operational from the next year.
Figure 60: Newly renovated Material Recovery Facility in Ntambanana (Ward 33).
GOAL 2: ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF WASTE SERVICES
123
In terms of the Constitution the responsibility for waste management functions is to be
devolved to the lowest level of government.
It is therefore clear that the City is responsible for Waste Management within its area of
jurisdiction and has to ensure proper handling of waste thus promoting a healthy
environment.
Figure : Waste removal services map showing the area of operation within the City
Figure 61 : Map Depicting area of Waste Removal in the City
Daily operations activities that are achieving this goal include the following,
- Weekly waste collection from all 34 wards, both rural and urban, and dispose
thereof at King Cetshwayo Regional Landfill site;
- Street cleaning, litter picking and public ablution facilities cleaning in public
convenience areas daily;
- Emptying and cleaning around community and business skips;
- Regular clearing of illegal dumping hotspots
The following are the means of refuse removal within the City ranging from urban areas,
sermi urban and rural areas,
- Business Skips
- Trolley Bins (households)
- Communal Skips and,
- Civil Education
124
This year all the operational services stated above were achieved, including the extension of
services to rural areas through the distribution of skips and educational awareness
campaigns. 70 % (77028) on average of the total households (110 503) had access to the
basic weekly solid waste removal service at the end of June 2019. This number is considered
very conservative considering that each household is allocated a volume of 240 L of refuse
per week, of which in rural areas community doesn’t generate a lot of waste for disposal.
The project which was initiated for conducting door to door campaigns with the rural
households continued throughout the a year without major interruptions. The objective is to
improve the hygienic conditions of rural households as well as the standard of living. This
rendered a tangible interaction between rural householders and the Municipality.
Solid waste removal services were provided on weekly basis to all serviced communities. The
scheduled routes for each community were successfully completed during this reporting
period with limited interruptions.
Figure 62: First Picture is a Rotopress Refuse Truck and second picture is a Compactor Refuse Truck.
The rural areas covered by the Rural Service Team as mentioned above comprises of the
following:
- Community road from eSikhaleni to eMpembeni
- Mkhobosa community roads including Madukwini, behind TVET College and Zimele
- Road from UVS, Mandlankala to eSikhaleni
- Gobandlovu Road to Maholoholo
- Birdswood to Mandlazini Taxi Rank including all Mandlazini internal community roads
- Mzingazi Village community streets and Taxi Rank
- Community roads in and around eNseleni
- Community roads behind University of Zululand, Vulindlela and Kwa-Dlangezwa
including Machibini.
- KwaMcebisi and Port Durnford Business Centre.
- Road from Ngwelezane to Matshana Taxi Rank including Odondolo, Ezinsimbini.
- Maguzulu to Qalakabusha including Mevamhlophe to Bingoma.
- Ntambanana areas.
125
All waste collected through litter picking is removed by refuse trucks for safe disposal at King
Cetshwayo Regional Landfill Site.
Skips were purchased and distributed in identified rural communities. EPWP employees were
also deployed to educate rural communities on proper waste management practices and
cleaning the areas, in which the target of 2000 new households was achieved.
Cleansing and Washing of Public Ablution Facilities
Public conveniences include all public ablution facilities at our bus or taxi ranks, busy streets
in eMpangeni, Ngwelezane, Felixton, Zidedele, Dumisani Makhaye Village, Vulindlela,
eSikhaleni, eNseleni and Richards Bay. These facilities had been serviced successfully
throughout the reporting financial year by the dedicated Cleansing team.
Greenest Municipality Competition
The City of uMhlathuze was pronounced as Greenest Municipality in the Province of KZN in
February 2019, won the first price and the right to represent the province of KZN at Greenest
Municipality Competition at National Evaluation. The national evaluations took place on the
03rd
and the 04th
of June 2019 results still pending.
GOAL 3: GROW THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE WASTE SECTOR TO THE GREEN
ECONOMY
Goal 1 promotes a recycling program that directly benefits a number of individuals in the
green economy, who are referred to as “Waste-preneurs”.
Continuous public awareness’s further encourages individuals within the City to consider
“Waste as a Resource out of Place” hence there is an increase in the number of Waste-
preneurs.
These recycling beneficiaries range from well-known recycling companies to small scale
individuals, formal and informal, who would not have had any form of income without this
program.
GOAL 4: ENSURE THAT PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THE IMPACT OF WASTE ON THEIR
HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
In order to achieve this goal waste management information detailed below was spread
among communities and learners through school awareness, door to door campaigns and
clean-up programmes:
- Develop local awareness campaigns on the social importance of waste management;
- Promote waste minimisation and recycling through education system; and
- Establish participate in Greenest Municipality Competition.
126
The annual target of 20 campaigns was met and exceeded as a total of 35 campaigns were
conducted. To further increase environmental awareness and protection, the unit has
installed educational signboards. These signboards further educate and encourage
communities on general cleanliness, recycling and reporting of illegal dumping actions.

GOAL 5: ACHIEVE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNING
In terms of the Waste Act all spheres of government are required to develop an IWMP,
hence it is a legal requirement for the City to have one. The IWMP which was approved and
adopted in 2017 has undergone a second review, in line with the IDP. According to the Act
the IWMP must be reviewed every five (5) years, however, the City reviews annually.
Continuous review of the IWMP ensures that changes, developments and implementation of
the plan are achieved and well accounted for.
GOAL 6: ENSURE SOUND BUDGETING AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT FOR WASTE
SERVICES
Within the limited budget the section has managed to expand service to rural areas, where
service was never provided before. This is putting more pressure to the budget due to
limited sources of revenue.
The Section has done survey in current business so as to ensure that customers receive
service they pay for at all times. The Section has stabilized expenditure on overtime, and
currently the section only has planned and approved overtime, but still looking at other
avenues so as to ensure that more is done with limited funding.
GOAL 7: PROVIDE MEASURES TO REMEDIATE CONTAMINATED LAND
The section has developed a comprehensive eradication plan on illegal dumping which
outlines the role of each and everybody who is within the jurisdiction of the City, ranging
from business, contractors, garden services, law enforcement and even media so as to deal
with illegal dumping and land pollution.
The composition of illegally dumped waste is normally green waste, building rubble,
domestic and other forms. The quantity in terms of percentages is as follows: 70% is green
waste, 22% is building rubble, 7% is household waste and the 1% is other forms of waste
which includes tyres etc.
To combat illegal dumping within the City, the Section has purchased newly designed illegal
dumping signboards for all identified hotspots. These signboards have Council’s law-
enforcement numbers for public members to report the culprits, in trying to curb the
scourge of illegal dumping.
Figure 65: Newly designed “No Illegal Dumping” signboards installed in identified hotspots
129
GOAL 8: ESTABLISH EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE WITH AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE
WASTE ACT
In terms of Waste Act, all handlers of waste should be registered with Waste Management
Officer. Currently there are more than 72 waste handlers who have registered with the unit,
which assists in proper profiling of waste handlers within the City.
In addition to this, all our Material Recovery Facilities have been registered in terms of
Section 4 of National Norms and Standards for Sorting, Shredding, Grinding, Crushing,
Screening or Bailing of General Waste 2017.
Air Quality Management
Business Function
The City of uMhlathuze has an obligation to ensure that Section 24 of Chapter 2 of The
Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996 which states that “Everyone has the right
an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being” is complied with.. Furthermore
the organization has a mandate to adhere to pieces of legislation such as National
Environmental Management Air Quality Act of 2004.
Therefore, role of AQMU is to ensure that the environment is protected by providing reasonable
measures for prevention and enhancement of air quality for the sake of the Citizens within the
City of uMhlathuze.
Key deliverables
Although this Unit is called Air quality, but it has other functions that are part of its
responsibility, which are,
- Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
- Schedule Trade permits
- Environmental Nuisance
- Indigent and Pauper Burial
- Ritual Slaughter
AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING
The City of uMhlathuze manages and operates three Ambient Air Monitoring Stations which

PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY
Traffic Services
TRAFFIC SERVICES AND OPERATIONS
This Sub-section is made up of five (5) units or segments namely, the Traffic Unit (TPU),
Traffic Wardens Unit (TWU), Bylaw Enforcement Unit (B-LEU), Traffic Administration section
and the Traffic Control room.
The Traffic Policing Sub-Unit (TPU)
This Unit is responsible for planning and organising for the execution of daily law
enforcement plans and traffic operations. The Unit’s functions range from law enforcement
duties, patrol function, directing and controlling traffic (point duty), setting up and conduct
of roadblocks, vehicle checkpoint inspections (VCPs) and speed detections for purposes of
road safety compliance and taking enforcement action against speeding offenders. The Unit

road safety education and assisting traffic officers with point duty (traffic control) and
roadblock activities. The Unit also attends to various calls for service including public
complaints relating to violation of bylaws and nuisances from community members. The
Bylaw Enforcement Unit also plans and executes police raids in conjunction with the South
African Police Service and other security or armed services in order to remove illegal
structures and paraphernalia used unlawfully in informal trading activities.
The Traffic Administration Sub-division (Admin Section)
The Administrative Section provides vital administrative and human resource support
function to the Traffic Section as a whole. The sub-section contributes greatly to the
efficiency of the Traffic Section. Its functions include dealing with offence data, conduct of
vehicle data searches, traffic information retrieval and recording, personnel budget, human
resource management and filing of records, control of leave and asset records, preparing the
court roll for each court day, generating court processes such as summonses and warrants of
arrests for authorisation by judicial officers.

The Traffic Communications Centre or Control Room is responsible for ensuring facilitation
of internal and external communications, information exchanges and to deal with public
queries including during and after hours. The Radio or Control Room operates a 24-hour
switchboard and is central to the departmental system of communications. The Unit has a
staff of operators (Control Room Operators) whose main function entails answering
telephone calls from the public and from traffic personnel or other external stakeholders
such as abnormal load companies, community members and construction companies. The
operations are also responsible for answering and transmitting radio messages in order to
collect information from personnel and dispatch a response to incidents and emergencies.
The Control Room also deals with emergency calls and for that purpose a 24 hour
emergency line number: 035 907 5760 / 5761 is provided for use by members of the public
to access the department in reporting any emergency at any time.
172
BY-LAW CLEAN-UP BLITZ PROGRAMME
In February 2019, the By-law Clean-Up Blitz Campaign was launched against the backdrop of
the increasing sale of vehicles displayed along the verges of various public roads (Central
Park near Five Ways Mall and Gan’s Motors in Empangeni to name but a few). The
complaints were escalated by the Khuleka sub-forum of the Empangeni CPF and culminated
in a station co-ordinated planning against crimes reported at the CPF and other forums.
Operations dealt with a variety of violations including illegal advertising and trading in
numerous gazebo’s in Commercial Road in Empangeni were scheduled.
The joint planning forum emerged with a plan for a multi-disciplinary operation involving the
SAPS, traffic officers, traffic wardens, law enforcement officers (by-law inspectors)
immigration officers, CRG Security, LED officials and Second-hand Goods Officers. The
targeted areas were Central park near the Zululand Observer, Gan’s Motors and Commercial
Road and Power Spar area in Empangeni and Midas in Richards Bay near Ritchie Ford and
Midas. The operation was a huge success and from the date of the operation, there have not
been any vehicles advertised for sale the Central park area that was cleared. All violators
found at Gan’s Motors and Central Park was served with abatement notices admonishing
them to cease their operations within 24 hours. At Power Spar and Commercial Road a
number of abatements were also issued to illegal traders. Five illegal immigrants were
detained and released upon production of their immigration documents. Numerous abortion
stickers were removed from advertising boards, power housings and street lamp poles. The
mechanics at Gan’s were issued with abatement notices and cleared the area but returned a
few days thereafter to re-establish their trade on the original spots.
However, before the traffic department could return to extend this campaign further, the
ABM (Area Based Management) programme commenced.
With the provincial Business Regulation Campaign of EDTEA (Economic Development,
Tourism, Environmental and Arts provincial department) and the ABM, numerous abatement
notices were issued to by-law violators, illegal traders in particular, all over the City including
Enseleni, Esikhaleni, Richards Bay CBD including next to Midas and the taxi rank, Empangeni,
At Home and Hyper, the door to the garage which had been open and leading to a shopping
area in the garage was closed down during the Business Regulation Campaign of the
Department (EDTEA).
PEDESTRIAN MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME
The advent of pedestrians who often use the middle of the roadway to ply their trade or beg
for donations at robotised intersection, has become commonplace. The IJS (Integrated
Justice Forum) was used to address the evident apathy in prosecution or adjudicating on the
matters involving pedestrians who beg at intersections. After the first meeting held in this
quarter, the courts began to convict these offenders accordingly. Quite a number of them
173
who now have suspended sentences as a result realized the need to stand out of the
intersection or roadway in order to beg without breaking the law.
NATIONAL ELECTIONS
From 4 May 2019, the Section was very busy engaged in security planning meetings in
preparation for and to operationalize plans from the National Joint Operations and
Intelligence Structures (Nat JOINTS) in order to assist and support the Independent Electoral
Commission (IEC) to hold peaceful and successful national elections locally.
Officers assisted in escorts of ballot boxes and other election material by police. Needless to
say the elections were a resounding success, thanks to the joint efforts of security services.
NONGOMA REED DANCE
During this prestigious cultural dance event, the Section examines numerous buses for
roadworthiness and escorts such buses conveying Zulu maidens to eNyokeni in Nongoma
for the Reed Dance ceremony. This is done to ensure safety of the maidens. The buses are
also escorted there and back as an extra measure to ensure safety. This was done in relation
to the event held from 8 – 9 September 2019.
ROAD SAFETY EDUCATION AND SERVICES
The road safety activities conducted by Traffic wardens within the City of uMHLATHUZE are
the catalyst in prevention and reduction of pedestrian related road accidents. Crime
prevention in general involves public education and articulation of public values. Allied to
serious road accidents is the heinous crime of culpable homicide. This crime may however be
prevented and crashes may be reduced when law enforcement is augmented with public
values and education and by use of the other pillars of crime prevention.
The Child-in-traffic programme serves to educate the local community and makes the public
aware of the risks and threats to their safety that may be occasioned by incautious usage of
the road network. The programme has targeted vulnerable road users, school children in
particular, and educated them on safe usage of public roads, alertness when traversing such
roadways and making oneself more visible as a pedestrian upon any section of a public road.
The programme has also organised scholars into scholar patrols in order to enable them to
become competent in conducting school-based scholar patrols. Scholar patrols enable
learners to cross busy roadways, crossings and entrances that may be potential red zones
(high accident areas) to road users school children in particular. Learners in Early Childhood
Development Centres (ECDs) and primary schools have thus benefited from the programme.
Traffic Wardens have been used as road safety officers.

The Mayor from uMfolozi municipality, Mrs Moloi from the KZN Department of Transport
and a representative of the Mayor or the Manager: Public Safety for the City of uMhlathuze
Municipality were invited to speak and attended the official launch of the programme in
Mzingazi in March 2019. The engineering assessments of the programme have confirmed
presence of safety issues around local schools namely Floraton Primary School (Aquadene),
uVondlo Primary School (eNseleni) and Mzingazi Primary School (uMfolozi municipality). The
programme is poised to commence implementation of project assessment results.

CAMERA SPEED LAW ENFORCEMENT
On 3 September 2019, the Traffic Services and Operations Section implemented the
speed camera law enforcement using advanced i-Camera (i-Cam) equipment around the
City. The project cameras are used to detect and institute law enforcement procedures
against speeding offenders. The project is implemented based on a service level
agreement contained in a service delivery agreement concluded between the
municipality and a public company known as Traffic Management Technologies (TMT).
Figure 104: Speed Law enforcement Cameras
Speed law enforcement in the City is conducted on strategic sites approved by the
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Manually operated speed machines are also used
to augment the speed management programme. The latter are placed in a roving
manner in various locations around the City. The impact is believed to be positive as
speed is one of the major contributing factors in road crashes. The impact is reflected in
the regular reports submitted to the DPP.

Two arrests were made with regard to the beggars who stand, kneel or lie upon the
surface of the public roads at intersections to ask for donations. The two were found
guilty of conduct that is likely to constitute danger to other road users and themselves.
Suspended sentences were imposed by the court.
ALCO-DETECTION PROGRAMME
In September 2019, a new programme for random detection of alcohol in drivers who
are driving motor vehicles on public roads was launched by the Traffic Services and
Operations Section. Though slow in the initial take-off the program has gradually
increased the number of drivers arrested for driving whilst under the influence of
alcohol. The programme has continued throughout the financial year.
With continued speed management operations complemented by the Alco-Detection
Programme the enforcement measures continue to positively impact the reduction of
road accidents, thus saving lives. This way the Traffic Section assists the municipality to
ensure a safe and secure environment for the members of the local community and the
City’s visitors or tourists.

TRAINING
On the 1st of October 2018 fourteen (14) of these traffic wardens were enrolled at the
Traffic Training College in Pietermaritzburg in order to be formally trained as traffic
wardens. This training empowered the traffic warden as a peace officer, cultivated basic
skills required for the traffic wardens to competently perform their duties and helped the
Municipality limit its vicarious liability for the public acts of these traffic warden. The
course also entails modules/subjects such as professional conduct, procedures to

Most of these traffic wardens completed the course on the 26th
of October 2018 and one
only completed it in May 2019. Having lost one to untimely death and with one not
completing the course, only 12 have passed and completed the course. They are now
registered and competent traffic wardens and may be fully utilized in the enforcement of
traffic laws within the scope of a traffic warden.
ANIMAL IMPOUNDMENT
KZNCOGTA has circulated the urgent requirement, to All municipalities, to establish a
Pound or conclude a shared service agreement with other Municipalities or entity to
establish a Pound, and directed to:
Adopt and implement a Pound Bylaw by way of a Council Resolution,
Promulgate the relevant bylaw in the Provincial Gazette in accordance with the
provisions of section 13 of the Systems Act,
Amend their 2018/2019 Integrated Development Plans to include Municipal Pounds
in the said Plans, in the event that the establishment of a Municipal Pound does not
currently feature in the approved Integrated Development Plan,
Allocate a budget for the establishment of a Municipal Pound or a shared service
Municipal Pond, in the Adjustment Estimate of the relevant Municipality,
Establish an operational Pound or shared service pound with another Municipality
or entity.
The establishment of an operational Municipal Pound is a priority on the Agenda of the
Justice, Crime Prevention, and Security (JCPS) Executive Council Cluster, as a result of,
amongst others, the fact that stray animals wander onto municipal roads and provincial
highways, resulting in fatal accidents.
In the meantime, City of uMhlathuze has signed an SLA with a Service Provider effective
1 December 2018, concerning the impounding of stray and abandoned animals.
Keeping in line with legislation, Eshowe animal pound was the closest pound to the
municipality with which an agreement could be considered.
In June 2019, an extensive awareness campaign was launched to augment the IDP
consultations which were conducted in May 2019 on the subject of stray and untended
animals. This campaign targeted farmers or stock owners in the main. At completion,
thereof the impoundment of animals began. Two cows and a bull were seized and
impounded when they were found stray and untended in June 2019. The animals are
currently in the pound in Eshowe.

Special Projects
The Licensing section will be establishing a work station at the eSikhaleni Service Centre. The
services offered will be limited to motor vehicle renewals and enquiries only. This will include
a licensing work station, helpdesk and supervisors office.
The community will benefits from the expansion of services which will allow them to access
to such services on their door step. The municipality on the other hand may benefit with
addressing the complaint of long queues at its current licensing offices.
The project should be finalised by the end of August 2019. Department of Transport (DOT)
has welcomed the initiative and committed their resources to the project. April 2019, DOT
inspectors visited the site for the purpose of assessing of the premises and workstations. The
approval of the workstations was subjected to whether it meets the Department of Transport
standards for the installation of licensing equipment. Should the approval be granted, it will
then be gazetted.
The assessment was successful with some minor alterations identified of which the Project
Manager was able to fix without any delays. Currently the municipality are waiting for the
equipment, from DOT to be delivered and installed.

1996 (miss) and Criminal procedure act 51 of 1977. We also deal with illegal occupation of
Municipality land issues and demolitions if there is a Court order. We also deal with
enforcement of bylaws. At times we are affected by community protests whereby protesters
end up coming to the civic and demand to see POB”S violently. We are managing those
situations by the help of CRG and the Police.

*This team has assisted the SAPS on numerous occasions during the night with raids in the
CBD areas with great success and with many arrests made with the assistance of the police.
This varies from the confiscation of drugs and the arrest of illegal immigrants and arrest of
wanted criminals and various other issues. This works was done at no additional cost to
Council and was done as part of their social responsibility commitments. The SAPS was
assisted 34 times with operations during this period.
Beach Protection
This team is also doing Beach protection and additional security is provided in this regard
over the Festive season. This is being done with great success. During festive seasons we
always have a lot of visitors and tourists in our beaches so SAPS cannot fight crime alone
they are assisted by CRG to fight crime. There are many successes because crime rate is
rising during festive.

system of the impounding of cattle and stray animals in the suburbs in terms of the Bylaws.
Four guards are being utilized at a time on an ad hoc basis if and when required. During the

This is very successful so far and challenges are being handled accordingly and it will be
dealt with when more finances are available .The Security company is working hand in hand
with the police and focussed on “danger “areas in certain suburbs as in Esikhaleni,
Ngwelezane, Vulindlela and Nseleni, this have great success and it has been reported that
crime reduced significantly in those areas since their introduction. The bicycle patrols are
focussing on the areas identified by the Police as “hot spot “areas and members then act in
numbers when necessary. They are supported by armed response vehicles to respond to
incidents at the time it happens. The security company have a device to locate cyclists while
on patrol their whereabouts. At the N2 nearby Esikhaleni the s a hiking spot used by
community to hike to Durban, that spot is identified as a hot spot whereby people are
robbed their belongings daily. We have deployed a static vehicle on daily basis to protect the
community, currently the crime has dropped. This company also assist y doing random

MUINICIPAL RAILWAY SIDINGS
The Municipality owns and maintains 17 kilometres of rail sidings. A Rail Safety Permit is
annually applied for, of which one of the conditions is that Council must compile a quarterly
report which is sent to the Rail Safety Regulator, a body responsible for the safe operation of
all the Country’s rails on behalf of Transnet. The current permit which has been renewed is
valid from 28 February 2018 to 28 February 2019.
All the funds required to maintain the sidings are paid by the respective industrial and
commercial land owners whose property is adjacent to the rail tracks. These businesses are
levied once a year based on the previous year’s maintenance expenses incurred by Council
on a pro-rata basis depending on the size of their respective properties.
In order to comply with the Rail Safety Permit conditions, monthly inspections need to be
carried out on the sidings, resulting in maintenance work that has to be carried out. The
latest maintenance schedule resulting from the inspections.
Currently, the maintenance work is being carried out on Council's behalf by WES Railway
Construction appointed as from 01 June 2018 for the three-year contract overseen by R & H
Rail Consultants. The contractor is responsible for all daily inspections for the municipal rails

WATER AND SANITATION SERVICES
The Water and Sanitation Services Section in the City of uMhlathuze has the following sub -
sections:
- Infrastructure Maintenance
- Scientific Services
- Water Demand Management, Planning and Strategy
- Customer Services, Retail and Marketing
KEY FACTS OF WATER AND SANITATION BUSINESS
The City of uMhlathuze in its capacity as the Water Services Authority and juristic entity is
compelled by the following acts:
Water Services Act 107 of 1997
To provide for the rights of access to basic water supply and basic sanitation
RECOGNISING the rights of access to basic water supply and basic sanitation necessary to
ensure sufficient water and an environment not harmful to health or well-being,
RECOGNISING that in striving to provide water supply services and sanitation services, all
spheres of Government must observe and adhere to the principles of co-operative
government,
RECOGNISING that the provision of water supply services and sanitation services, although
an activity distinct from the overall management of water resources, must be undertaken in a
manner consistent with the broader goals of water resource management;
ENSURING that the quality of the city’s water resources, portable water and wastewater
systems are continually monitored in an endeavour to maintain quality and evaluate against
set standards/specifications/guidelines.
220
Water Services Bylaws
The Water Services Act 108 of 1997 stipulates that Water Services Authorities and local
authorities need have the necessary Water Services Policies and Water Services By-laws in
place.
Bylaws Description
Water Services
Bylaw
DMS 836540
Review in June 2014. The Water Services Act 108 of 1997 stipulates
that Water Services Authorities and local authorities need to have the
necessary bylaws implemented and review regularly.
Infrastructure Maintenance: relates to potable water distribution and sewer networks.
The infrastructure Maintenance is responsible for Operation and Maintenance of all Water
and Wastewater delivery infrastructure, including customer liaison and financial controls.
Infrastructure Maintenance also provides all in-house capital funded infrastructure
development. uMhlathuze Municipality owns and operates infrastructure that it has built,
upgraded and inherited since its establishment.
Section 57(5) of the Municipal Systems Act and the Performance Regulations gazetted in
Notice No 805 as published on 1 August 2006, provides that performance objectives must be
based on Key Performance Indicators as set out in the Municipality’s Integrated
Development Plan.
The key performance areas in terms of the Infrastructure Maintenance Section as prescribed
in the Plan are as follows:
Operations and Maintenance - Potable water Infrastructure Network.
Operations and Maintenance - Sanitation Infrastructure Network.
2.1 Operations and Maintenance – Water and Sanitation infrastructure network
2.1.1 Water reticulation network
221
Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes installed from the early 1970s at the City of uMhlathuze’s water
network are used to reticulate water to the community. AC pipes were installed mainly
because they were affordable, non-corroding alternative to metallic pipes in areas prone to
corrosion.
AC pipes deteriorate as a result of a variety of factors, including working environment,
operational conditions over the years with little or no maintenance attention and when
stresses such as pressure and soil bearing exceed their strength, consequently they fail. Due
to the variability in the deterioration rate of AC pipes, the condition of AC pipes is of utmost
importance.
AC pipes deteriorate by degradation depth (thickness) of the inner and outer walls, thus
compromising the overall strength of the pipe to an extent that the pipe size itself
contributes to breakages if differential pressures between internal pressures due to water
and soil bearing are not in equilibrium. In other words, factors such as vibrations can cause a
tilt from the equilibrium, thus posing stress to the already deteriorated pipe.
Pipe degradation depths are correlated with pipe residual strengths, microstructure
characteristics, pipe age, water quality, and flow dynamics due to unevenly eroded internal
surface of the pipe and soil properties.
Listed below is the range of internal degradation with respect to AC pipes:
- Water with low aggressiveness index.
- Soft water or water with low alkalinity
- Soil movement especially to small diameter pipes as AC pipes are extremely
brittle when considering the mechanical property.
- Furthermore, constructed structures on pipe servitudes or grounds compromise
the integrity of the AC pipe. Therefore, re-routing of pipes is required.
Sewer reticulation network
There are two causes of blockages and collapse or failure of an Asbestos Cement (AC) pipes
in a sewer system:
Introduction of foreign unsolicited objects into the sewer system, such as through open
manholes covers.
Corrosion due to hydrogen sulphide.
Open manholes have been a consequence of theft of steel covers, vandalism of concrete
covers and effects of hydrogen sulphide on the concrete covers. Also, due to open
manholes, sand is introduced into sewer systems.
222
Since most sewer manholes are constructed from concrete, bricks and mortar, hydrogen
sulphide attacks mortar thus resulting in a weakened or compromised manhole structure,
resulting in the bricks falling into the system.
Procurement of polymer plastic covers is on-going to curb factors that result in open
manholes.
The water and sanitation section: infrastructure maintenance (urban & rural) is divided into
three following area offices:
Northern (Richardsbay and surroundings)
Southern (eSikhaleni, Dlangezwa and surroundings)
Western (eMpangeni, Ngwelezane and surroundings)

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS – INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE
Repairs at the Aquadene1 Sewer Pump Station
On 13 February 2019, there was a sewer overflow in Brackenham area that flooded inside the
property no. 40 Filigree Loop Street. After investigation it was found that there was a broken
gravitation sewer pipe within Aquadene 1 pump station which resulted in sewer spillages in
most of the properties along Filigree Loop, Fish Tail, Felt Fern and Frondosa streets. As part
of corrective measures two new 6m deep sewer manholes were rebuilt and the 160mm
sewer gravity pipeline was repaired.

The area has been experiencing low water pressure whereas other areas of Ward 18 & 19
portions were not receiving water at all. In order to improve the situation, Water Tankers had
to be deployed. The Municipality has used this service for more than three years and has
proven to be unsustainable due to the escalation cost and due to the ever increasing
number of new houses per annum. Water Tankers Service is currently being used and cost in
a region of millions of rands per Annum. The consideration was therefore taken that a long
term solution was urgently and critically warranted.
The area consists of approximately 600 household with an estimated population of 4800
people. The pipeline consists of 250 diameter Bulk pipeline which will cater for existing
demand inclusive of growth and development of the area.
Supply and Install 250mm Sewer Line at Hillview
232
The Hillview Pumpstation collect waste water from Hillview, CBD, Qalakabusha and Tronox, it
then pumps the waste water through a 250 mm rising main which runs underneath R34 [DOT
road, below Hillview suburb} and deposit the waste water next to the bus rank in town. The
pipe failure underneath R34 was of great concern to the road users, environment and health
risk to the public and animals lives around that area.
The rising main pipe failure needed urgent attention to prevent further spillage and damages
to the environment.

Implementation of the approved business plan –
Council registered a combined rural sanitation business plan amounting to R493 million with
MIG and this program is a continuous set up which targets the wiping off of the backlogs in
all rural areas. It be noted that before we inherited a portion of Ntamabanana wards, we
conducted a study and out of the total 46 873 backlogs were initially registered, the city has
242
covered 35 958 households and the current phase consists of 5000 households has been
underway and was completed in May 2019.
It should also be noted that the more council provides these basic level of services more
people move to these areas and we end up having to cover more infill households than
initially planned.
PART 2: Monitoring
Define the monitoring approach; map the process (on what basis is data collected; issues
around data sources and data collection methodologies). Who is responsible for each of the
tasks within the map?
How is data analysed and reported for implementation purposes –
Through the Water Planning Manager/WSA Manager and the PMU manager together with
the project leader or designer, the reports are read in conjunction with the drawings versus
the demand on that area(s) and taking into account the future demand/ growth, the Water
Planning Manager/WSA Manager or the PMU manager must call for adjustment on the
proposal or approve based on the fact that it meets the community’s needs. From there it
must be carried into the implementation stage.

The consumption of Municipal installations amounted to a total value 16 608 857 kWh for
2018/2019 (until June 2019) .
256
All areas are experiencing an increase in Energy losses. The Revenue Protection section
attempts to investigate a many as possible installations for tampering it is a challenge as
there are only two teams for the entire 36 082 prepayment customer base and that team
spends 3 working days a week attending to audits for Clearance Certificate applications
(houses being sold). Monthly readings will be taking with the new tender for meter readings
and captured in SAP.
Although the national average is 10% and the overall average of the City is 8% it is a concern
that some areas are exceeding the 10% national average.

Shows that the medium voltage (MV) network was affected mostly due to on-going
construction activities, where it was found that underground cables were damaged while
digging. Other equipment on the MV network were vandalised by people who sell copper to
scrap yards.
Figure 6: Annual Unplanned Electrical Breakdowns for the LV Network
Shows a bar graph representation of electrical breakdowns that were experienced from the
1st of July 2018 to the 30th of June 2019. The graph depicts that in the low voltage (LV)
network, there was a high number of breakdowns. The breakdowns were caused mostly by
illegal connections in low income (rural) areas. Illegal connections affected electrical
equipment such as overhead lines (OHL), ring main units (RMUs) and meters.

PROCESS CONTROL & PUBLIC LIGHTING
The section is responsible for monitoring and control of water reservoirs, sewer and water pump
stations as well as traffic lights, street lights and fleet management systems.
The following are primary sub sections for the above mentioned divisions:
Process Control Systems
Traffic Signals
Public Lighting
The department seek to consider a traditional maintenance approach, considering the following 3
types of maintenance which are differentiated by the nature of the tasks that were performed:
Corrective maintenance: Where the set of tasks was destined to correct the defects that were to be
found in the different equipment on day to day approach.
Preventive Maintenance: Department were to maintain a level of certain service on equipment,
calibration and the interventions of their vulnerabilities in the most opportune time. It is used to be
a systematic character, that is, the equipment is inspected even if it has not given any symptoms of
having a problem.
Predictive Maintenance: It pursues constantly know and report the status and operational capacity
of the installations by knowing the values of certain variables, which represent such state and
operational ability.
Process Control Systems
Technical Operations Centre monitors all Council’s Pump stations and reservoirs’ behaviour
indicating the level of each reservoir also status of each pump station. The real time readings are
logged every single day and averaged per specific intervals. The table below indicates the event logs
for analogue signals in percentage showing the monthly average of each reservoir. This is just to
report to Council that all instruments that were installed to specific reservoirs are up and running.
The real time readings can be drawn at all times.
276
Traffic Signals
A large part of the work load is repair or replacement of traffic control equipment before it fails. The
City of uMhlathuze (CoU) conducts semi-annual inspections of controller and signal equipment,
intersection hardware, and auxiliary equipment such as traffic detection loops.
Traffic corrective maintenance is carried out after failure detection and is aimed at restoring a traffic
intersection to an appropriate condition, whilst reactive maintenance is performed after a
breakdown so a traffic intersection can perform its intended function. Rapid repair of equipment
that has broken down is critical to ensure uninterrupted operations, minimal downtime and optimal
operability. The CoU’s goal is a response to traffic signal service requests/failure within one hour of
notification.
Typical problems/requests that warrant an immediate response from signal maintenance crews
include:
All lights out due to power outage
Signals flashing red in all directions
Loose or turned signal heads
Damage caused by vehicles
Burned out lamps
Timing Problems – long red or short green
Lamp burnouts
Controller malfunctions
Detection failures
Physical damage
Traffic progression problems
Off-hour responses to safety risks at intersections
Business unit (operations and maintenance section)

FLEET MANAGEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION
The Fleet and Transportation Section is a support unit for the maintenance/ servicing and repair of
the entire municipal fleet. The fleet consists of vehicles and “yellow plant”
The section is responsible for submitting the Capital budget requirements for the replacement of
fleet on an annual basis.
Departments are responsible for the daily operation, management and control of all Fleet that have
been allocated to them and all Fleet requiring repairs and maintenance are booked in by the
Departments.
Departments are responsible for the, management and control of all vehicles and plant allocated to
them.
Where possible all new Vehicles and Plant are procured with a Maintenance Plan of 160 000km or 7
years.
The maintenance plans are paid to the suppliers at the time the vehicles or plant are procured, this
to ensure that they are maintained by the agents for at least a 5 or 7 year period.
284
Certain vehicle manufacturers do not offer a 160 000 km/7 years maintenance plan, in such cases
the maximum plan available for eg. 5 years/120 000 km maintenance plan will be procured.
Special controls are required to ensure that Maintenance Plans and Warranties are not forfeited and
therefore the Control of Services of Vehicles on Maintenance Plan has been monitored throughout
the year jointly with the user departments who are beneficiaries in this case.
The task of monitoring service schedules of fleet on maintenance plans are managed by the official
vehicle pool clerk, who obtains mileages on a monthly basis from the user departments in order to
book vehicles for services.
Maintenance plans do not cover any items damaged that can be attributed to abuse.
Departments are required to submit incident reports where premature failure of a component is
detected, or damages to vehicles occur.
Achievements:
Fleet tracking system:
A contract has been entered with the service provider, Fleet Horizons, for the monitoring and
tracking of Council fleet.
The installation of trackers in municipal fleet has been an outstanding item for several years, and the
lack of a tracking system has made it difficult to manage the fleet.
Since the installation of trackers , the incidents of vehicle theft has reduced drastically.
The tracking history is also being used as a investigation tool in cases where suspected vehicle abuse
has been detected.
Staff development:
Two Mechanical Assistants that were sent on training, successfully completed the course and
obtained their qualifications as Mechanics.
The two staff members were recently promoted from Mechanical Assistant to Mechanics, this
success should serve as a motivation for fellow staff members.
285
Capital Projects
The capital projects consist of the fleet replacement and additional requirements as identified to
render service delivery for the 2018/2019 financial year and onwards.
The following vehicles and plant were procured:
Graders X 2
Tractor loader backhoe X 1
Refuse compactors X 6

development application and building
plans.
The Land Use Management Section is divided into two subsections, namely:
o Development Control; and
o Building Control.
The Land Use Management Unit daily activities involve site inspections, processing of planning
applications and scrutinising of building plans. These daily activities are undertaken in line with the
291
organisational Integrated Development Plan (IDP) Strategic Objectives, National and Provincial
Policy Framework and the City Development Department Key Performance Indicators.
1.1.1 Development Control
Responsibilities and Achievements of Development Control Sub-Unit
The main responsibility of Development Control Sub-Unit is to promote orderly development
through enforcement and management of land use within the municipal jurisdiction using the
Municipal Land Use Scheme and the Planning By-law. As such, the Sub-Unit is responsible for
processing the following planning applications:
o Consent Applications;
o Formal Authority Applications; and
o Building Line Relaxation Applications.
The relevant and applicable policy and legislative framework applicable are:
o uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017, as amended;
o Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (Act No. 16 of 2013); and
o National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, 1977, as amended (Act No. 107 of
1977).
uMhlathuze Single Land Use Scheme
The Land Use Scheme is a development control instrument used by the Municipality to regulate
land uses and promote orderly development within its jurisdiction. In January 2014, the municipality
implemented the first Land Use Scheme, which replaced the old Town Planning Schemes of
Richards Bay and Empangeni, which were in operation before the amalgamation of Borough of
Richards Bay and Borough of Empangeni in 2001.
The old Town Planning Schemes were developed in terms of the Natal Town Planning Ordinance,
1949 (Act No. 27 of 1949) and their main focus of implementation and development control was in
the urban areas of Richards Bay and Empangeni offering very little, if any, development control in
the Former R293 Townships and Traditional Authority Areas (Rural Areas).
The current Municipal Land Use Scheme, which has been in operation since January 2014, was
developed in line with the KwaZulu-Natal Planning and Development Act, 2008 (Act No. 6 of 2008)
well known as the PDA. The main objective PDA was to assist municipalities with guidelines and
provisions for the development of Wall to Wall Scheme, which was a paradigm shift from the Town
Planning Scheme concept with a heavy urban (town) bias to a Land Use Scheme that covers the
entire municipal area. This legislative change led to the development and adoption of the current
Municipal Land Use Scheme, which has been in operation since January 2014, later amended and
effected on June 2015.
In line with the provisions of the National Development Plan, South African saw fit to introduce a
new planning act that will address Spatial Planning and Land Use Management matters for the
292
entire country. The single town planning act is called Spatial Planning and Land Use Management
Act, 2013 (Act No. 16 of 2013), well known as SPLUMA.
SPLUMA is a national planning act that was assented in August 2013 and became effect on 1 July
2015. The main focus of SPLUMA and its Regulations is to promote Spatial Justice, inter alia, to
provide for the development of single Municipal Land Use Scheme that covers the entire municipal
area and a Spatial Development Framework that is flexible and resilient. SPLUMA also expressly
provides for the incorporation of areas that were previously excluded from planning processes and
the incremental introduction of town planning principles.
In an attempt to adhere to the provisions of SPLUMA in as far as the development of a Municipal
Single Land Use Scheme is concerned Council appointed a Service Provider in September 2017 to
assist with the development of a Single Land Use Scheme for the entire municipal area in
accordance with Section 24 (1) of the SPLUMA.
The single Land Use Scheme will incorporate all 34 Municipal Wards, including Traditional Authority
Areas. This will assist greatly in incrementally introducing regulation of traditional areas, which were
previously excluded from the Scheme processes and will contribute immensely to orderly
development within the municipality.
The Municipal Single Land Use Scheme was meant to be completed during 2018/2019 financial
year. However this target could not be achieved as a result of elaborate stakeholder engagements,
which were necessary to ensure that their comments and inputs are heeded in the preparation of
the Scheme as well as the general public participation. The following Key Stakeholders were
engaged during the preparation of the draft Single Land Use Scheme:
Department of Education;
Department of Human Settlements;
Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries;
Department of Education;
Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone;
Forestry South Africa;
Department of Transport;
Ingonyama Trust Board;
Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs;
Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs;
Department of Rural Development and Land Reform;
Department of Health;
Department of Social Development;
Mondi Group;
Umhlathuze Valley Sugar;
uMfolozi and uMlalazi Local Municipalities;
King Cetshwayo District Municipality;
Transnet National Ports Authority;
KZN Wildlife;
Etc.
293
Apart from the comments from some of the above listed key departments/stakeholders, the
municipality decided to have one on one session with the Department of Agriculture Forestry and
Fisheries (DAFF) to attend directly to the requirements and provisions of the Subdivision of
Agricultural Land Act, 1970 (Act No. 70 of 1970). The session was successfully held in May 2019,
which was followed by the department’s assessment and comments received in June 2019.
However, the comments were not for the entire affected areas and the department is still busy with
the final assessment.
The Municipal Single Land Use Scheme that is under preparation addresses spatial imbalances of
the past in line with Spatial Justice, Spatial Resilience and Efficiency, being SPLUMA development
principles, by ensuring that land use controls are area based as opposed to a blanket approach and
that the Scheme is flexible and user-friendly. This has been achieved by introducing new land use
zones which includes areas within Traditional Authorities, adjusting minimum site sizes for certain
land use zones in order to accommodate citizens from the Former R293 Townships, which could not
meet the Scheme requirement due to the current Scheme requirements.
Richards Bay Central Business District Framework Plan
In March 2019 Council adopted Richards Bay Central Business District and its overall objective is to
create a more attractive urban environment with improved functionality, better urban management,
creation of new investment and economic opportunities, efficient transport system and improved
urban safety and security.
294
Figure xx: Richards Bay
CBD Framework Plan Overview
The implementation of the Richards Bay CBD Framework does not happen in isolation with the Land
Use Scheme, National Building Regulations and Building Aesthetics Bylaw to ensure that municipal
densification vision.
Building Aesthetic By-law
In May 2017 Council resolved to prepare uMhlathuze Building Aesthetics By-law, which seeks to
improve the aesthetic appeal of the built environment and the maintenance of the aesthetic quality
in all areas that fall under the jurisdiction of the Municipality. The By-law was published in the
Provincial Gazetted on 1 November 2018. It serves as a guiding tool by Council to promote and
create a built environment within uMhlathuze that is unique, creating land marks and iconic
structures that give one a sense of belonging and lasting experience.
The By-law is used in conjunction with other planning and building tools such as the National
Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, the municipal Land Use Scheme and the municipal
Spatial Development Framework to ensure that the design of buildings and their surrounding
environment are aesthetically appealing, pedestrian/people friendly; comply to the principles of
New Urbanism and the Compact City.
Since the implementation of the Building Aesthetic By-law in December 2018, the municipality has
received positive response from the public. Developers and Architects/Draughtspersons in as far the
submission to the Aesthetic Committee are concerned. The Committee has dealt with applications
from Traditional Authority Areas, Empangeni and Richards Bay CBDs and Former R293 Townships.
Land Development Applications
295
The day-to-day responsibilities carried out by Land Use Management Unit (Development Control
and Building Control Sub-Units) include site inspections, enforcement, processing of planning
application and attending to general public queries in relation to statutory planning requirements.
The table below illustrates the number of land use management applications dealt with during
2018/2019 financial year.

Consent 31 14
Formal Authority 21 9
Total 229 100
Table XX: Land Use Management Applications Assessed during 2018/2019 Financial Year
The planning applications outlined in the above table are assessed and evaluated in terms of the
Section 27 (1) (b) of the Municipal Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017, as
amended, municipal Land Use Scheme, the Standard Operating Procedures and in line with
department’s Key Performance Indicator, which requires that 95% of all applications received per
quarter must be processed and finalised.
In terms of the Standard Operating Procedure, Consent applications are supposed to be finalised
between 68 -82 days (including days public participation process); Formal Authority application
between 66-82 days, all inclusive of 30 days public participation processes and Relaxation of
Building Lines between 28-78 days.
Development control remains a challenge due to development and operations without town
planning approvals. However, enforcement actions are taken and/or advisory services are offered in
line with the uMhlathuze Land Use Scheme, and Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-
law.

Building Control
Building control is the backbone of the municipality in terms of promoting structural integrity of all
buildings erected within the municipal jurisdiction. Citizens, Architects/Draughtspersons and
developers are always advised to submit building plans for municipal scrutiny and approval before
commencement of alterations or additions to existing dwellings or constructing new buildings.
The submission and assessment of building plans are based on the following relevant policy and
legislation framework:
o National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, 1997 (Act No.107 of 1997) as
amended;
o uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017, as amended;
o Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (Act No. 16 of 2013);
o uMhlathuze Land Use Scheme, as amended;
o Building Aesthetics Bylaw, 2018; and
o SANS 10400
The table below illustrates the number of building plans submitted over four subsequent financial
years and estimated building cost of proposed buildings and structures at the end of each financial
year.

The table above indicates a decline in construction industry between 2015/2016 and 2017/2018
financial years and a boom in the 2018/2019 financial year.
Building Plans outlined in the above table were assessed and evaluated in terms of the National
Building Regulations and SANS 10400, the Standard Operating Procedure and in line with
department’s Key Performance Indicator, which requires that 95% of building plans applications
received per quarter must be processed and finalised.
In terms of the Standard Operating Procedure, building plans for residential development are
approved within 30 days, while building plans for commercial and industrial development are
approved within 60 days. .
Building control remains a challenge due to illegal structures being constructed and appropriate
enforcement actions are taken and/or advisory services are offered in line with the National Building
Regulations and the Building Inspectorate’s Standard Operating Procedures.

6.1.3 To ensure effective Land
Use Management and Building
Management
6.1.3.2 Effective processing of
development applications
In line with the above IDP Objective, the following has been achieved as per the SDBIP for the year
under review.
Implementation of the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management (SPLUM) By-law, 2017
Review of the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, 2017
The Municipality adopted the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law,
which became effective on 21 September 2017. The aim of the By-law is to:
provide for the establishment of the Municipal Planning Approval Authority, Municipal
Planning Appeal Authority and the Municipal Planning Enforcement Authority;
provide for the adoption, repeal, review, extension and amendment of the Municipality’s
land use scheme,
regulate and manage spatial and land use planning and development,
300
provide for the categorisation of land development applications,
provide for processes and procedures for land development applications,
provide for appeals against decisions of the Municipal Planning Approval Authority;
provide for offences, penalties and enforcement matters; and
provide for compensation and matters incidental thereto.
The implementation of the By-law highlighted some shortcomings. These shortcomings could be
summarised as:
- addition and amendment of definitions to aid in interpretation of the By-law;
- addition and clarification of matters as set out in the Spatial Planning and Land Use
Management Act, such as applying for intervener status, appeals, etc.
- clarification of who is delegated to perform certain functions or actions;
- clarification or streamlining of procedures to be followed, for instance the formalisation of a
pre-application process, review of timeframes, etc; and
- minor corrections such as numbering, spelling, etc.
It was therefore proposed to review the By-law in order to ensure good governance and to aid in
interpretation of the By-law.
As required in terms of legislation and to ensure transparency, the proposed changes were
advertised for public comment, and the public participation process was successfully concluded.
No objections or comments were received, which enabled the Municipality to continue with the
formalisation of the proposed changes.
The amendments to the By-law were gazetted on 9 May 2019 (Government Gazette Notice No.
2073) and the amendments are therefore now effective.
The Municipality continues to monitor the implementation of the By-law in order to ensure a
transparent and efficient planning process that would support service delivery and investment in
the uMhlathuze Municipal area.
Planning Applications Received
Applications administered by the Development Administration Unit include rezoning, township
establishment, subdivision and consolidation of land, development of land situated outside scheme
areas, phasing or cancellation of approved layout plans for subdivision or development of land, the
alteration/suspension/deletion of restrictions relating to land and permanent closure of municipal
roads and public places.
The section attended to the following planning applications received during 2018/2019:

Planning Applications Drafted
The relevant sections also assist in drafting and finalising planning applications on behalf of the
Municipality.
During the reporting year, the section attended to the following Council projects:
Subdivision and rezoning of the Steel Bridge and Carina Substation sites in order to create
transferable properties;
Re-layout of the Central Industrial Area in order to react to an amended environmental
approval;
Subdivision and rezoning of land to establish a commercial node in Mzingazi Village;

purposes;
Correction of Cadastral Boundaries – The Empangeni Art Centre for asset management
purposes; and
Subdivision of the Empangeni Golf Course to create an individual erf for asset management
purposes.
Decision-making Authorities
The Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) and the uMhlathuze Spatial
Planning and Land Use Management By-law make provision for two decision-making authorities
responsible for considering and approving land development and land use applications:
a) The Municipal Planning Tribunal
The King Cetshwayo North Joint Municipal Planning Tribunal (JMPT) consists of three external
members and officials from the uMhlathuze and uMfolozi Municipalities. The names of the
members were gazetted in terms of Provincial Gazette Notice 1639 of 10 March 2016. The members
of the Tribunal are appointed for a 5 year term, effective from 10 March 2016.
The Tribunal considers applications as categorised in terms of Schedule 3 Item 7 of the uMhlathuze
Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law, which include higher impact activities such as
applications for township establishment, rezoning, permanent closure of public places, applications
where objections were received during the public participation process and the like.
302
The Tribunal considered 27 reports during 11 meetings held between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019,
compared to 26 reports during 10 meetings held between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018.
In terms of timeframes for decision-making, the Tribunal generally must decide on an application
within 60 days of the public participation process, or receipt of a reply to objections received. The
Tribunal performs exceptionally well in this regard, as demonstrated by the following table:

Table xx: Land Development applications considered by the King Cetshwayo North JMPT
On average, the King Cetshwayo North Joint Municipal Planning Tribunal finalises a decision within
a month after the public participation process, or receipt of a reply to objections received, thereby
improving service delivery.
b) The Municipal Authorised Official
The Municipal Authorised Official appointed is the Deputy Municipal Manager: City Development.
The Municipal Authorised Official considers applications as categorised in terms of Schedule 3 Item
8 of the uMhlathuze Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Bylaw, which include lower impact
activities such as applications for minor subdivisions, consolidations, applications in traditional
settlement areas, removal of restrictions and the like.
The Authorised Official considered 4 planning application reports processed by the Development
Administration Section during the 2018/2019 financial year.
In terms of timeframes for decision-making, the Authorised Official generally must decide on an
application within 60 days of the public participation process. In some cases shown below, no public
participation process was necessary.
The Authorised Official performs exceptionally well in this regard, as demonstrated by the following
table, thereby improving service delivery:

Section 51 of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act and Chapter 5 of the uMhlathuze
Spatial Planning and Land Use Management By-law deal with the establishment and functioning of
a Municipal Appeals Tribunal.
The Municipality has elected its Executive Committee as its Appeals Tribunal.
Two appeals were received during the 2018/2019 financial year in response to planning decisions
made.
The appeals are received and administered by the Municipal Manager as the Appeals Authority
Registrar.

In line with the above IDP Objectives, a number of targets and initiatives have been achieved for the
year under review.
Spatial Planning
This sub-unit has as its main function the review and implementation of the Municipal Spatial
Development Framework (SDF). After the review of the SDF, the implementation thereof unfolds
into an array of components, notably the development of precinct plan, framework plans for rural
and urban areas, interdepartmental coordination of development as well as catalytic project
coordination.
Spatial Development Framework (SDF) Review
304
The Spatial Development Framework (SDF) of the Municipality is a visual presentation of the
municipality’s development vision and strategies as a result it reflects the current reality, but also
the logical future development options. Amongst others, the municipal SDF provides guidance to
development/investment interventions by way of:
i. Identification of Nodes and Corridors
ii. Restructuring Zones (Human Settlement Intervention) and Priority Housing Intervention
Areas
iii. Spatial Intervention Areas
iv. Catalytic and Strategic Projects
v. Basic Services Intervention Areas
vi. Social Services Intervention Areas
Since the inclusion of four new wards into the municipal area post the Local Government Elections
of 2016, there has been steady progress toward preparing an SDF that is compliant with the
provisions of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (SPLUMA). The second SDF
Review for 2019/2020 was adopted on 29 May 2019. As part of the second review of the Municipal
SDF, the following long term spatial vision and a Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF) have been
included into the SDF.
“An agile institution that fosters spatial sustainability, resilience, equity and compact growth,
supported by appropriate ICT solutions”
Functional Areas and Priority Development Areas have been identified as part of the CEF process.
The Functional Areas are as follow:
o Urban Core
o Rural Sustainability
o Peri-Urban
o Commercial Farming
The identified Priority Development Areas being strategic development areas, nodal areas,
corridors, precincts as well as housing restructuring zones as indicated in the following map.
305
Figure xx: Mapping of uMhlathuze Priority Development Areas
Intermediate City Municipality (ICM) Support as part of the Integrated Urban Development Framework
(IUDF)
The Municipality has been benefitting from assistance provided through the ICM (Intermediate
Cities Municipalities) Support Programme of the IUDF (Integrated Urban Development Framework)
as a Pilot Municipality. The IUDF is a policy framework guiding the reorganization of the urban
system of South Africa so that cities and towns can become inclusive, resource efficient and
adequate places to live, as per the vision outlined in the National Development Plan (NDP). This
new focus for South Africa steers urban growth towards a sustainable growth model of compact,
connected and coordinated cities and towns. The IUDF implementation plan identifies a number of
short term proposals to achieve spatial transformation.
The overall objective of the IUDF is to create efficient urban spaces by:-
o Reducing travel costs and distances
o Aligning land use, transport planning and housing
o Preventing development of housing in marginal areas
o Increasing urban densities and reducing sprawl
o Shifting jobs and investment towards dense peripheral townships
o Improving public transport and the coordination between transport modes
The IUDF has its premise on the nine levers as indicated in the figure below.
306
Figure xx: Strategic Goals and Levers of the IUDF
The above listed levers relate very specifically to the pillar of spatial transformation that is embraced
by the Municipality. The Municipality is planning and implementing for improved public transport
and investment is aimed at aiding the Township Economy and a number of processes are underway
to establish integrated human settlements in the municipal area.
The following areas of support were provided to the Municipality as part of the ICM Support
Programme:
o Financial instruments (inclusive of Long Term Financial Planning – LTFP, Infrastructure Asset
Management, Procurement and Delivery);
o Spatial Visioning; and
o Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF).
The latter two have been included into the SDF Review and more details in respect of their
formulation is provided hereunder:
1.3.1.3 Spatial Visioning
Visions are strategic planning instruments. They are “soft instruments” that act as a guideline to
establish or develop policies. The Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA)
requires of municipalities to have long term Spatial Development Frameworks (SDFs) that are
reviewed annually and for these SDFs to have long term spatial visions.
The new spatial vision for the City of uMhlathuze was prepared by way of a consultative process
that included the political leadership as well as internal and external stakeholders and the outcome
is a coherent vision (minimum 20 years) for the economic and spatial integration and
transformation of the municipal area.
307
Figure xx:the Future Vision
Figure xx: City of uMhlathuze Visionaries
The following principles for uMhlathuze were identified during the spatial visioning engagements:
o Diversity: Nurturing, encouraging and enabling diversity on all fronts, such as cultural,
traditional, religious, gender, ability, etc.
o Sustainability: Institutional, Ecological, social and financial.
o Choice: An area where people are able to exercise free will and have access to choice and
opportunity.
o Accessibility: Enabling upward mobility.
o Quality of life: Quality shared public spaces.
o Mobility: Ability to progress and an adaptable environment.
o Affordability: For all – especially public services.
o Shared societal dividends: Happiness, hope, health, safety and well being
o Equality: An administration that regards ALL residents as equal.
o Equity: An administration that seeks to improve equity. One that is fair and just.
o Inclusivity: An administration that deliberates seeks to include the marginalized (gender, age,
race, ability.
308
o Avant garde: Taking a long term view, forward thinking and thinking outside the box.
o Democratic: Meaningful consultative processes.
o Efficiency: Judicious use of public resources
The following spatial vision statement for the uMhlathuze Municipality was developed and
incorporated into the municipal Spatial Development Framework (SDF).
“An agile institution that fosters spatial sustainability, resilience, equity and compact growth,
supported by appropriate ICT solutions”
1.3.1.3 Capital Expenditure Framework
A Capital Expenditure Framework (CEF) is a core requirement for a SPLUMA (Spatial Planning and
Land Use Management Act) compliant SDF and also is a requirement for the purpose of an
Intermediate City Municipality to qualify for the Integrated Urban Development Grant (IUDG).
Amongst others, the CEF provides the Municipality with the following:
o An analysis of the socio-economic context of the Municipality.
o The uMhlathuze Development Approach.
o A summary of the Spatial Vision.
o A delineation of Functional Areas and Priority Development Areas.
o Details of growth patterns, level of services provided as well as services requirements for the
determined Functional Areas and Priority Development Areas.
o Consolidated details of the planned capital investment by the Municipality based on various
master plans and sector plans as available.
o The Long Term Financial Model and Funding Envelope available to the Municipality.
o An explanation of the Project Prioritisation methodology as well as the outcomes of the
application of the Project Prioritisation Model. The said outcomes are presented in various
ways, i.e. per programme and spatially for the 10 year period.
o Budget Scenarios.
In context of the above, a Functional Area (FA) is a delineated area characterized by common
(homogenic) geographical, spatial, developmental, service demand conditions, as well as similar
developmental challenges.
Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are specifically delineated intervention areas. Each of these areas
have a specific development intent such as strategic development areas, nodal areas, corridors,
precincts, housing restructuring etc. which are expressed, but not limited to the Spatial
Development Framework.
The mapping of the Functional Areas as applied to the uMhlathuze context is provided hereunder:

as well as planned expenditure in renewal/upgrade/new infrastructure.
A tailored prioritization model for the uMhlathuze Municipality was also prepared to assist in
ensuring that the most important projects are implemented in line with the spatial transformation
agenda of the Municipality.
Rural Framework Plans
In order to facilitate feasible service provision, the Municipality is in the process of compiling Rural
Framework Plans for all rural areas within its jurisdiction. Amongst others, these plans can be used
as a guiding tool when land allocations are effected.
The municipality has a five stage plan for the preparation of Rural Development Framework Plans.
Phase 3 is currently underway. The following table illustrates the complete phasing approach for
the preparation of the proposed Rural Development Framework Plans.

Figure xx: Proposal for Secondary Pedestrian Walkway and Cycle Routes
In order to give effect to the proposals contained in the aesthetic guidelines for the
Refurbishment/Replacement of Pavements/Walkways in the Empangeni CBD (Central Business
District), an interdepartmental Task Team has been established to coordinate implementation
efforts in line with the proposals.
Environmental Planning
Environmental Planning has a strategic and monitoring responsibility in the Municipality. The unit is
at the forefront of the municipal efforts with regard to climate change mitigation and adaptation as
well as pursuing various partnerships and funding mechanisms in this regard. The responsibility to
advice and guide decision making in the municipality in respect of development (private and public
sector) also vests within the ambit of environmental planning.
Climate Action
During 2018/2019, the City of uMhlathuze built on from commitments and climate change
programs from previous years. A distinguishing achievement during the year has been the
institutional efforts in embedding a climate change effort within the organization. This was achieved
through a Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), which Council adopted in October 2019. Council
further resolved on the role of the Green Team to co-ordinate Climate Action and report
accordingly. This is becoming increasingly important as Cities, including uMhlathuze, disclose
climate action performance for statutory reporting towards nationally determined contributions, a
voluntary public and global platforms.
Institutionalization of Climate Action
313
The Climate change action plan presents a framework for mitigation and adaptation work until
2023. The plan adopts a risk-based approach and will focus on ten priority areas where intervention
is needed:
Disaster management;
Coastal management;
Storm water management;
Water resource management;
Biodiversity and Open space management;
Air quality management;
Waste management;
Energy management;
Transport planning; and
City planning catalytic initiatives.
The appointment of a Green Team resonates with the cross cutting nature of climate action and it
requires collective action and sound co-ordination. Since the appointment of the Green team, the
City Development Department has co-ordinated six meetings for the Green Team to report on
respective Climate Action targets. This has proven to be a very useful platform in preparation of
Council’s environmental programs as well as the Greenest Municipality and Arbor City Competitions
that the Municipality had to prepare for over the year. Moreover the Green Team would be a think
tank for advancing sustainability objectives, leveraging on partnerships with various sectors as well
as dealing with compliance and enforcement issues.
Strategic Partnerships
As part of the Climate Change Action Plan, uMhlathuze has recognized that strategic partnerships
are imperative for profiling, networks and access to other programs and climate finance. As such,
the Municipality has embarked on programs with various partners in efforts to scale up responses
to climate threats. Programs associated with each partner are elaborated on below.
ICLEI
The City of uMhlathuze is a Secondary City participant in the UN funded Low Emissions
Development Strategies (Urban LEDS). ICLEI, Local Governments for Sustainability, is facilitating the
program, which now is in the second phase of implementation. Phase II, which was launched in
2018, sets the objective of fulfilling a range of cross-cutting objectives to reduce greenhouse Gas
emissions and building climate resilience. Like Phase I (which realized the installation of 11kV solar
panels at Empangeni Library, Urban LEDS II has a strong energy focus.
The City held an engagement with business and industry in November 2018 to communicate its
climate action plan with partners, ICLEI, through the URBAN LEDS 11 project. The event was
314
attended by 60 delegated. The Business Breakfast for Climate Action provided a useful platform to
address a few issues:
Mayor Mhlongo shared the vision of the City of uMhlathuze regarding climate issues.
The municipality shared work being done on climate change such as the Climate Action
Plan, the Urban Low Emissions Development Strategies II project and the uMhlathuze Water
Stewardship Partnership as examples of implementation.
Business shared what they are doing and goals for energy, water and waste.
Common areas where the municipality and business can work together on climate action
during three break away groups dealing with water, energy and waste.
A way forward that there needs to be ongoing engagement to track progress.
Figure xx: Participants at the uMhlathuze Climate Action Business Engagement
The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate Change and Energy
The Mayor of the City of uMhlathuze is a signatory to the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate
Change and Energy, which is the world’s largest cooperative effort among mayors and city officials
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks in cities. The Global Covenant of Mayors for
Climate Change and Energy helps local authorities to translate their greenhouse gas emissions
315
reduction ambitions into reality, while taking into account the immense diversity on the ground. The
process provides signatories like uMhlathuze with a harmonised data compilation and reporting
framework, which assists in following a systemic climate and energy planning and monitoring
structure at a local level.
The uMhlathuze Water Stewardship Partnership (uWASP)
The uWASP was constituted by the GIZ, National Business Initiative and the World Wildlife Fund,
during the 2017 harrowing drought period where dams were sitting at 13% of their capacity. It
rallied together government departments, different water users (mainly business and industry),
water boards and municipalities within the uMhlathuze Catchment. The uMhlathuze Water
Stewardship Partnership was a platform created to collaborate with various partners to achieve
sound water resource management. The City of uMhlathuze entered into an agreement with the
uWASP in May 2019. The partnership is looking into salient catchment management objectives that
were not necessarily being prioritized. The Lake Cubhu/ Mzingwenya River Catchment management
plan is a case in point. The project has identified a range of climate interventions to ensure that
resilience of informal settlement whilst ensuring desired levels water quality is achieved.
KZN Central Climate Change Compact
The City of uMhlathuze is an active member of the KZN Central Climate Change Compact that
meets on a quarterly basis. The Compact was established as a result of the Durban Adaptation
Charter at COP 17, in Durban, with local municipalities pledging localized climate action. The KZN
Compact of Mayors was launched in November 2018 with the objective of extending the work
already done by a compact technical forum, to include the political heads of the province’s leading
towns and cities.
The Mayors, including Hon. Mayor M.G Mhlongo, signed a declaration which read: “We, the mayors
of KwaZulu-Natal municipalities do hereby commit ourselves to the undertakings of the Durban
Adaptation Charter in alignment with UNFCCC, COP 17 and the Paris Agreement. We commit to
taking local actions in each of our municipalities and implementing it through the KZN Climate
Change Compact of Mayors.”
The compact aligns the province with global structures including the ICLEI – Local Governments for
Sustainability’s Africa region and the Global Covenant of Mayors. It serves to in this regard:
improve aligning adaptation and mitigation strategies
making sure these considered the needs of vulnerable communities
ensuring sustainable development
making sure functioning ecosystems were a core part of municipal green infrastructure; and
seeking innovative funding mechanisms.
316
At the conference, uMhlathuze, along with 12 other municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal were honoured
for long service:
KwaDukuza;
iLembe;
eThekwini;
Ugu;
Ray Nkonyeni;
uMzumbe;
uMdoni;
uMgungundlovu;
uMngeni;
uMshwathi;
Mtubatuta; and
Msunduzi.
The respective partnerships serve an important resource hub to leverage climate finance
opportunities.
Climate Change Alignment with other emerging Policy Frameworks
The City of uMhlathuze’s Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF) is a keystone
intervention in the above regard in delivering on a spatial visioning tool to inform various facets of
planning for the future. For that matter, issues of climate change are reflected in every facet of the
IUDF, from the framework itself to issues of Capital Expenditure Framework and prioritization
models for municipal financing.
The following cross cutting themes in the IUDF address climate change:
Figure xx: Climate Change alignment with other Policy Frameworks
The IUDF from an implementation perspective seeks to transform space in order to:-
317
• Reduce travel costs and distances – mitigation
• Aligning land use, transport planning and housing – mitigation
• Preventing development of housing in marginal areas – adaptation and mitigation
• Increasing urban densities and reducing sprawl – adaptation and mitigation
• Shifting jobs and investment toward dense peripheral townships- adaptation and mitigation
• Improving public transport and the coordination between transport mode – mitigation
Catalytic projects whose implementation will have a positive impact for climate action:
• Comprehensive Integrated Transport Plan (CITP).
• Airport Relocation – increasing efficiencies in the movement of people and goods.
• Waste Water Re-use project.
• Priority Housing Development Areas have been identified to improve urban efficiencies,
reduce travel distances etc.
• uMzingwenya settlement interventions aimed at improving resilience.
• Empangeni Integrated Residential Development Project – Planning aspects include climate
proofing in terms of open spaces, energy, waste management and transport planning.

2.1.2.2.1 The King’s Experience Marketing Campaign
King Cetshwayo District Municipality’s Kings Experience Tourism Marketing Campaign was established a few
years ago with a purpose to advertise and market tourism products in the district. The Kings Experience
Campaign integrates all tourism products from the five local municipalities under the district and puts them
into one package. The marketing campaign is a formidable vehicle to take our tourism products to the
country. The idea of targeting events is well placed because a number of people travel for entertainment.
The City of uMhlathuze partnered with the district to travel to different provinces with the campaign that
encourages visitors to spend the festive season within the district and uMhlathuze region in particular.
The activation was launched on 2nd November 2018 in Mpumalanga, and then proceeded to Free State on
the 16th -17th November 2018 for the second leg of the campaign. On the 16 November 2018, the
programme began with live broadcast by our Political Office Bearers on the Free State Community Radio
Stations. It was later followed by the activations to the different places of interests where the Kings
Experience tourism information stands were manned by tourism officials from both the King Cetshwayo
District and uMhlathuze Local Municipalities.

Experience Campaign in Mpumalanga
Profiling uMhlathuze in Tourism Publications
The purpose of the advertorials is to market the uMhlathuze area as well as the activities taking place
around uMhlathuze. It also assists in promoting members and products of the Community Tourism
Organisation (uCTO).
326
The strategy is and has been to advertise in publications that are well received in the tourism space and
reach a wide audience as they are distributed at tourism shows, airports and tourism offices around the
country. Below are some of the adverts as they appeared in these publications:

Redesign of the uMhlathuze Travel Guide
The previous Tourism Guide was designed and printed in 2015. The inclusion of the Ntambanana wards
after the elections necessitated a need to include the tourism products that were not part of the previous
guide.
327
A total of 20 000 copies were printed for distribution. The PDF version of the guide is available on the
Council website, and below is a screenshot of the cover page.

2.1.2.5 Tourism Training Initiatives
2.1.2.5.1 Tourism Hospitality Programme
The KZN Hospitality Youth Training Programme was implemented in collaboration with uMhlathuze
Municipality and Tourism World Academy, as an Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) in the City of
uMhlathuze.
331
The objectives of the project were to provide hospitality skills to unemployed youth (18-35 years) within the
jurisdiction of the municipality, and to provide experiential training for the selected beneficiaries by placing
them at the selected Host Employers.
The primary objectives of the programme are to ensure that all the beneficiaries are provided Exit
Opportunities which may include:
Further employment by Host Employers;
Tourism Entrepreneurship (Cooperatives etc.); and
Further training.
The beneficiaries received training in one of the following SAQA registered (CATHSSETA accredited)
qualifications:
National Qualification in Food & Beverages Services NQF level: 4; and
National Qualification in Fast Food NQF level: 3
A total of 60 learners were identified for the project with 30 for Fast Food and 30 for hospitality.

The KZN Tourism Safety Programme is a programme being implemented by the Provincial Department of
Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) in collaboration with uMhlathuze and
AGB Business as Implementing Agent of the programme.
The objective of the project is to absorb unemployed tourism students / graduates around the province and
give them practical and theory training over a 12-month period.
An expression of Interest (EOI) was sent to the department and uMhlathuze was offered 14 positions for the
programme. The successful students will be place at Alkantstrand Beach, Empangeni Museum as well as
TuziGazi Waterfront.

2.1.3.1.1 National Youth Development Agency (NYDA)
The Empangeni branch primarily serves three District Municipalities being King Cetshwayo, uMkhanyakude
and Zululand. The main function of the Agency is to create a platform for the youth in the North Coast of
KwaZulu-Natal to participate is socio-economic development within each district, thus alleviating poverty
and social-ills and bringing in sustainable livelihoods and an environment that brings about youth
development in all structures of society. NYDA interventions are aligned with the national strategies such as
The New Growth Path, National Development Plan, National Development Act and the Annual Programme
of Action of Government and the African Youth Charter.
The NYDA branch continues to smartly implement youth development programmes as mandated by the
National Youth Policy 2015-2020, which are:
Training and skills development; and
333
Economic participation
The NYDA, with its explicit focus on youth, remains biased to:
Unemployed youth;
Young women;
Youth in rural areas; and
Youth living with disabilities etc.
2.1.3.1.2 NYDA Strategic Partnerships
The Empangeni branch has created and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Transnet as
the primary objective for this financial year as well as improving accessibility and creating Jobs for young
people through fundraising. Transnet has created a good relationship with different stakeholders in the area
that we can take advantage of (e.g. SABS).
The NYDA has also created a good working relationship with Harambe as they have arranged to come to the
branch 4 days of every month-end to train young people on computer skills. This will assist in creating a very
good relationship with the Municipality.

Zikulise Community Projects
Zikulise is a registered Non-Profit Company (formerly known as a Section 21 Company) and Non-Profit
Organisation. The Zikulise Community Upliftment Project NPC is facing the challenge of addressing poverty
alleviation, economic and creative growth head-on by uplifting individuals unfortunate enough to be
unskilled, unemployed and consequently disempowered.
The Project addresses the following community concerns:
Poverty, unemployment and crime;
Youth that lack skills to obtain employment / start own enterprises;
Empowering women;
Vulnerability of women and children; and
Vulnerability, loss of dignity and inability of people living with a disability to earn a living.
The community values, supports and encourages Zikulise's initiatives in addressing their needs in areas such
as economic and creative growth, poverty alleviation and capacity building particularly with regard to the
youth, women, the unemployed and self-help groups. The community members consider Zikulise as an
asset to their communities.
Furthermore, cultural crafts such as traditional bead weaving, grass and textile weaving and embroidery are
at great risk of no longer being passed down from one generation to another. The training that Zikulise
offers is therefore considered by the community as essential for black youth.

2.1.3.4 RBIDZ SMME Seminar
The purpose of the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone (RBIDZ) is to develop a Special Economic Zone
(SEZ) in order to attract local and foreign investors who will beneficiate South Africa’s raw materials and
then stimulate economic growth, develop skills and transfer, as well as create job opportunities.
This was the 5th Annual Seminar that the RBIDZ had collaborated with the Local and District Municipalities
given the latter’s responsibility to ensure that local communities are well vested with the opportunities
available within the municipalities, as well as processes to be followed in doing business with them.
The RBIDZ currently has 2 investors that are already located within the Zone and further has various
investors that are signed and in the process of adhering to regulatory requirements before they can start
construction and operation of their factories.
The RBIDZ also has 2 investors that have signed investments valued at R11.5 billion, and they are at
different stages towards finalising their processes.
In light of the above, the SMMEs need to be equipped with information regarding opportunities that will be
available once construction and operations commence.
Therefore, for the SMMEs and other stakeholders to be ready of what is about to come and opportunities
that will be brought by the investors when they start construction and operation, the RBIDZ has taken a
stand to have annual SMME Engagement Seminars aimed at unpacking what the investors have in store for
the suppliers. This was done by inviting some of investors to come and present business development
opportunities as well as procurement opportunities.

2.1.4 Informal Markets
2.1.4.1 Financial Literacy Training
The workshop was a partnership between the Municipality and ABSA Bank. The partnership came as a result
of the Municipality’s ongoing programme to educate as many informal traders as possible in financial
literacy, business management, budgeting etc.
A total of twenty five (25) Informal Traders trading in Empangeni Lot 63 attended the workshop.
Financial literacy initiatives aim to increase financial knowledge and change financial behaviour. As informal
traders receive financial education, they become more confident on financial matters and make more
informed financial decisions. In the medium to long term they will become more self‐sufficient and
financially secure. At the same time the uMhlathuze economy will benefit from a well‐educated society.

Goat Farming Agri-Business Training
Mdukatshani (GAP), King Cetshwayo District Municipality and uMhlathuze Municipality held a goat farming
training program with goat farmers at Owen Sithole Agricultural College on 05 March 2019. The training
came as a responsive approach emanating from engagements that were held with goat farmers towards the
end of October 2018. Farmers had raised various concerns and challenges that they are facing with goat
farming ranging from breeding issues, goat health, compliance, auctions and veterinary support.
This training was a first step towards socialising our farmers about value and opportunities within goat
farming. There is still more training to come e.g. Community Animal Health Workers Training, Constructing
Goat Dips, Auctioning of Goats and Breeding Goats for Commercial purposes.

The City of uMhlathuze manages its fixed assets through the Property Administration Unit, which
falls under City Development Department. The Property Administration Unit, which is responsible
for the management of lease agreements and alienation of municipal land, has three divisions, i.e.
property valuation, property alienation and property leasing.
2.2.1 Property Valuation
The Municipal Valuation Division is responsible for the valuation of immovable properties for rating
purposes. The valuation of these properties is in line with the requirements as set out in the
Municipal Property Rates Act No. 6 of 2006 (MPRA), as amended.
352
The MPRA is a national law that regulates the power of a municipality to value and rate immovable
properties (that is building and land) located within the boundaries of a municipality. In a nutshell, it
standardizes the valuation of properties across the board.

Regularizing of Leases Project
An advisory company was appointed to attend to the review and regularising of lease agreements,
with the aim of:
Bringing the lease agreements in line with current legislation;
Increasing revenue for Council, especially with regards to historic lease agreements that are
tied up in long term and indefinite periods; and
Freeing land parcels tied up in such agreements, where possible.
Regularization of certain clubs was successful and short-term lease agreements were concluded. An
exception was given to National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) who has been given an in-principle
approval for a medium-term period.
However, there were those lessees who rejected the new conditions as a result eviction summons
have been issued and litigation is in progress.
Having failed to comply with the lease conditions and renewal thereto, River Rock Investments (Pty)
Ltd defended their case at the Durban High Court. The Court ruled in favour of Council and an
application for leave to appeal lodged by River Rock Investments (Pty) Ltd was rejected by the
Durban High Court at which time the application was dismissed with costs.

Introduction
EXPENDITURE DIVISION
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2018/2019
EXPENDITURE DIVISION
Objectives
360
The objectives of the Expenditure Division is to provide the financial control framework of a MSCOA (Municipal Standard Chart of Accounts) budget. To provide the financial planning and control support to all Departments in the implementation of such budgets. On continuous bases, the Expenditure Division complies with all statutory financial reporting in in terms of the Municipal Financial Management Act (MFMA) and its regulations including the compilation of the Annual Financial Statements and the reporting required in terms of the Division of Revenue Act (DORA). In a manor , so as to comply with Generally Recognized Accounting Practice (GRAP), the Division strives to consistently compile unqualified Annual Financial Statements, the Financial Assets Register and a multi-peril risk mitigating Short Term Insurance Portfolio. For actual expenditure the Division managers and administers all Creditors payments including the Payroll for the Municipal Employees. During this process, the Division managers and administers all the cash and cash equivalents effectively and efficiently, so as to ensure maximum return for the Municipality. Creditors and Cash Management Section
As part of the Municipality’s developmental obligations and sound financial management, these are key activities in developing and assisting our community:
The Creditors Section facilitated the training of seven interns across all major sections of the Finance Department in the financial year. Rotations as well as Personal Development Plans were developed for interns. The progress with this program is very good, especially in the absence of other institutional platforms providing a suitable stepping-stone for aspirant local government financial managers.
Providing cash flow relief for our SMME vendors by paying invoices between 7 to 14 days;
The signing of cession agreements with primary suppliers, to assist SMME’s to receive their materials on time; Guaranteeing every single creditor who has their invoices and associated orders “GRN’d” (Goods Received Note Acknowledgement), payment
is assured from the Creditors Section within 30 Days. The Municipality prides itself for having no creditor payments outstanding more than 30
Days if invoices are relevant and endorsed by a Goods Received Note.Stricter controls are being implemented in the payment/procurement
process between Municipal user departments and suppliers in ensuring Supply Chain Management processes are followed. Occasionally, this
good governance process does unfortunately leave suppliers feeling aggrieved, only to find that they were given the unauthorized go-ahead
without proper due process being followed in the first instance.
Financial support, budget process management and budget reporting section
361
The process of planning to the approval of each MTREF (Medium Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework) is a continuous cycle, commencing immediately after the ensuing years MTREF is approved by Council. The 2018/19 MTREF was tabled before Council on 31 March 2018. Thereafter a 5-week budget participation process was undertaken with cluster meetings at various locations. Attendance by the community at these meetings is improving and the understanding of the municipal process by the community is also encouraging to note. Following the budget participation process, amendments that were identified from the communities were incorporated into the Adopted 2018/19 Budget and Medium Term Revenue and expenditure Framework (MTREF). Council adopted the 2018/2018 MTREF on 31 May 2018. National Treasury endeavours to ensure that municipalities prepare a budget document that provides concise and understandable financial and non-financial information, which will ensure that informed decisions are made to promote effective financial management and service delivery. By ensuring that the allocation of financial resources is aligned to service delivery targets it will be clear what services are being promised when budgets are approved. National Treasury created a template called “Batho Pele City” to serve as a guide to municipal officials responsible to produce their municipal budget documents. The aim of the Budget Guide is to provide more detailed guidance on the format and content of a municipal budget so as to ensure full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of Schedule A of the Municipal Budget and Reporting Regulations. In light of the above, Council has a Tabled and Adopted Budget report which has been prepared in line with the template provided by National Treasury. An exceptional exercise in the 2018/19 year was the ongoing implementation of mSCOA. Although mSCOA is a business reform that requires transformation from the whole administration, the core operational steering team originates from the Expenditure Division. This was done in addition to the continued high standard of budgeting, control, reporting and support. The mSCOA uploads of the data string has been successfully achieved in the 2018/2019 financial year. Financial support section also includes payroll administration. The payroll administration section ensures that +/- 2400 employees (including 67 councillors) are paid their monthly salaries and allowances timeously and accurately and has succeeded without failure during the whole year.
Financial Accounting, Reporting & Asset management The functions of this section include; ensuring that the Annual Financial Statements are completed and timeously submitted to the Auditor General for auditing purposes and that the Municipality complies with General Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) Financial Assets Register. The preparation of the 2017/2018 financial
362
statements was done using the mSCOA regulations version 6.2 accounts. The municipality managed to get two (2) clean audits during the piloting of mSCOA in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years and a unqualified report for 17/18 with one legal compliance matter . For a municipality of this size , it is worth noting that the compilation of the AFS’s are done in house. The section also manages a Financial Assets Register with the asset book of R5,4 billion and for the past 3 financial years there were no non-compliance matters reported on assets in the management report issued by the Auditor-General.

The cash flow recovery plan which commenced with sincerity in 2010 has succeeded very well. Previous reports have highlighted the specific interventions, but in summary the success lies in: budgeting for expenditure that is funded, strict control of the budget, very good management of both debtors and creditors and ensuring both affordable and cost reflective tariffs.

REVENUE DIVISION
The primary responsibility of council is to deliver services to the community within its jurisdiction.
Section 75A of the Municipal Sysstems Act permits municipalities to levy and recover fees, charges or
tariffs in respect of municipal service delivery functions and to recover collection charges and interest
on outstanding debt.
Revenue Section strives to get the basics right by implementing adequate processes to
integrate with all municipal functions along the revenue value chain. The section is committed
to ensure that council fiscal baskets is sufficient to serve the uMhlathuze community with the
social responsibilities, capital infrastructure, city development, a safe city, affordable shelter and
basic services such water, electricity and refuse removal services. This is achieved by ensuring
that all properties within the municipal cadastral are billed for property rates and all trading
services consumed are adequately measured and billed.
Albeit, uMhlathuze being ranked as one of the best performing municipalities in the province
and ultimately in the country; the current economic instability faced by South Africa has
negative drawbacks in relation to debt collection.
According to the 2018/19 published section 71 reports from National Treasury, uMhlathuze
municipality has maintained a collection rate of between 97% and 98% over the last decade
with it peak at 99%, this is a strong indicator that the municipality is doing something right
when it comes to Revenue Management. Not only do the city apply credit controls to safeguard
municipal services consumed, consumers are provided with arrangement of debt and credit
extensions to assist those with financial constraints which also enhances consumer relations
with council.
At the beginning of each financial year, medium term budgeted tariffs are determined and
reviewed dependant on the prevailing economic circumstances at the time. During the 2018/19
budget process, considerations was given on the affordability of consumers as South African
Economy slipped into recession on the last quarter of 2017.
The above affected the city in having to adjust projected revenue downwards as well as the
consequence of increased number of days in the recovery of outstanding debt from consumers
as they face hard economic down turns.
The presence of high service consumption industrial customers is an important source of
revenue for the municipality e.g. Transnet, Foskor, South 32 and the Ports, there are about 10
371
companies which the municipality places a lot of reliance on for revenue. The biggest revenue
base for the municipality is electricity.
The city is adopting the smart city concepts and a payment application is under development
phase for real time paying facilities. In addition to the payment application, the third party
payment facility will also be available effective from 2019/20. This facility will allow consumers
and business customers to pay for their accounts at clothing and grocery shops, weekdays or
weekends.
Customer relations is an integral function that is vital and critical factor of the revenue chain.
Effective from 2018, Revenue has shifted focus and invested resources to foster customer
relations with the public.
The City took an initiative to take the finance office teamed up with other service department to
the community and conducted consumer education campaigns across the city. The campaign
was based on the myriad of consumer related matters ranging from the Call Centre usage, water
saving tips and leaks reporting, billing and management of the municipal accounts, fire and
rescue services, electrical services, waste management, human settlement issue, Land Use and
many other services rendered by the City of uMhlathuze.
The team traversed different parts of the City from eSikhaleni Township where the campaign
was officially launched and moved to eMpangeni CBD where it gained more momentum.
ENseleni, Vulindlela, Ngwelezana and Richards Bay CDB were also visited.
Different presentations were made to consumers and unlimited time for questions and answers
made a huge impact on the consumers understanding of the municipality’s processes and by-
laws.
The City is now noting the drastic change of consumer and customer behaviour for the better,
benefitting both ends. Water consumption patterns especially in Nseleni has decreased which is
attributed to water conservation presentations done on the road shows.
Increased number of calls reporting water leaks is also noted especially from eNseleni residents.
Consumers are proving to be more aware of the Credit Control Action and the associated fees
and beginning to make payment arrangements.
Applications for Consumer Rebates has increased by 40% in 2019 compared to previous years.
A total number of Arrangement Of Debts has also significantly increased to 1250 arrangements
made from November 2018 to June 2019 compared to an average of 650 on an annual horizon.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
The effective Implementation of the Supply Chain Management process is vital for the Council.
The Supply Chain Management (SCMU) has two Sub-units, i.e. Demand and Acquisition
Management and Contract and Logistics Management.
Supply Chain Management Policy
The policy was reviewed to include provisions of Preferential Procurement Regulations of 2017
and propose an addition of Military veterans as a designated group for economic
transformation. The review proposed that 40% of the municipal procurement spent be targeted
for distribution as follows; EME or QSE which is at least 51% owned by Black Youth - 30%; EME
or QSE which is at least 51% owned by Black Women – 30%; EME or QSE which is at least 51%
owned by Black People with disabilities; EME or QSE which is at least 51% owned by Black
People who are military veterans – 30%. This will be achieved through PPPFA Regulation 2017,
clause 4 and 9 provisions.
Contract Management Policy
Contract Management Policy was developed and approved in 2017, which aims to assist and
ensure efficient management of contracts. Section 116 of the Municipal Finance Management
375
Act, 2003 (Act 56 of 2003) stipulates the procedure that should be followed to manage a
contract procured through Supply Chain Management of a municipality. The were no issues or
amendments that necessitated the review.
uMhlathuze Preferential Procurement Policy
The policy was established in terms of Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, Section
2(1) read together with Preferential Procurement Regulations 2017, clause 2 and The
Constitution of the Republic of South African Constitution, Section 217(2) which allows an
Organ of state implement procurement policy provided for categories of preference in
allocation of contracts; and the protection and advancement of persons, or categories of
persons, disadvantaged by unfair discrimination.
Supplier training and development
As Council`s amended and approved Supply Chain Management Policy whose objective is to
spend a minimum of forty percent (40%) of its annual procurement budget with historically
disadvantaged individuals (HDIs), youth, women, People living Disabilities.
Below is the SCM spending report reflecting the performance under each category:

through targeted groups
The targeted procurement policy of the municipality is slowly but surely meeting the
objectives set, that of improving the lives of the people. In the first year of implementation,
2016/17 financial year, 40% set aside was R348 million. Out of this amount the local black
women category achieved 175% (R244 million), youth was 94% (R131 million) and
People living with Disabilities was 0.87% (R605 Thousand).
In the second year ending 2018, there is an improvement where the youth has already
achieved 102% (R134 million), women 91% (R117 million) and the People living with
Disabilities 2% (R1.6 million).
In the third year ending June 2019, there is an improvement where the youth has already
achieved 140% (R139.3 million), women 122% (R121.2 million) and the People lwith
Disabilities 4% (R2.0 million).
These percentages grow in value in the second and third year in proportion to the first year.
Having said that, uMhlathuze is very clear with this programme of uplifting the youth in our
area. However, challenges are still encountered from these groupings more especially
around compliance perspective, their financial management skills and access to finance.
However, there has been good improvement in three year comparison.

Targeted Groups versus Other Suppliers
Council also continued to use its objective criteria, in terms of the developmental local
government, in ensuring that more work is awarded to local suppliers, this includes the
target procurement to the marginalised youth, women and People Living Disabilities owned
companies.
The graph below illustrates positive contribution of the objective criteria:

APPENDIX E: WARD REPORTING AND THE FUNCTIONS OF WARD COMMITTEES
Public Participation and Councillor Support
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa in section 152 lists the objects of local government, among
them is to provide democratic and accountable government for local communities and to encourage the
involvement of communities and community organisations in the matters of local government.
Pursuant to these noble objectives, as set out in the Constitution, Council has taken a deliberate decision to
strengthen and intensify its public participation drive. The Corporate Services Department has a unit called
Councillor Support and Public Participation. It is charged with ensuring that there is an organised and
structured manner in which the municipality communicates and/or consults the community on their
developmental needs, so that intervention programmes can target real community needs.
Ward Committees
As it is embedded in the Constitution for the democratic government, public participation is central in
deepening democracy. Public participation is described as an open, accountable process through which
individuals and groups within selected communities can exchange views and influence decision-making. It is a
process of engaging people, deciding, planning and playing an active role in the development and operation of
services that affect their lives. Public participation narrows the social gap between the communities and the
elected representative. Communities are defined as wards and each ward has to elect a Ward Committee
which is a central representative structure that links the community with Council and ensures that
communities take part in the decisions in the affairs that affect their lives. To fulfil the abovementioned
objective, Council has undergone a programme of electing Ward Committee members in all thirty four (34)
wards.
As part of Council’s commitment to motivate ward committee members, Council has a budget of R4million for
ward committee out-of-pocket expenses; ward committees received a stipend on
R1 344.00 per month with an increase of 7% every financial year.

APPENDIX G: RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MUNICIPAL AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Honourable Speaker
Council of the City of uMhlathuze

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO COUNCIL
Dear Sir
INTRODUCTION
The Audit and Performance Committee (Audit Committee) is pleased to present its Report for the
financial year ending 30 June 2019. This report covers work done during the third and fourth quarters
of this financial year.
1. Legislative requirements
The purpose of this report is to communicate to the Council the audit committee’s progress to date in
carrying out its oversight responsibilities in terms of section 166 of the Municipal Finance
Management Act, 2003 (Act No. 56 of 2003, as amended) (MFMA), read with circular 65 published by
the National Treasury for the year ended 30 June 2019.
The MFMA obliges every municipality to establish an independent audit committee, which must
advise the municipal Council, political office-bearers, accounting officer and management staff of the
municipality as well as the accounting officer and the management staff of the municipal entity, on
matters relating to internal financial controls and internal audits, risk management, accounting
policies, the adequacy, reliability and accuracy of financial reporting and information, performance
management, effective governance, compliance with the MFMA, the annual Division of Revenue Act
(DoRA) and any other applicable legislation, and any other issues referred to it by the municipality.
The audit committee is governed by formal terms of reference, which are regularly reviewed and
approved by the Council. The committee is pleased to present its report for the financial year ended
30 June 2019.
2. Audit committee members and attendance
The audit committee was established in accordance with section 166 of the MFMA read with MFMA
Circular 65 issued by the National Treasury. The audit committee charter requires that the audit
committee comprises a maximum of four (4) members, of whom the majority must not be in the
employ of the municipality or municipal entity. The audit committee comprises four (4) members,
including the chairperson. In terms of section 166(4)(b) of the MFMA, the audit committee must meet
463
at least four (4) times a year. During the financial year ended 30 June 2019, the audit committee met
on five (5) occasions.
The new Audit Committee was appointed in February 2019 as the term of office for the previous
Committee expired in January 2019.
The members of the audit committee held meetings with the municipal manager as the accounting
officer, the board of directors of the municipal entity, senior management of the municipality, the
internal audit function and the external auditors, collectively and individually, on matters related to
governance, internal control and risk in the municipality, throughout the reporting period. The
committee also held a meeting with the honourable mayor and the executive committee of the
Council to report on governance, internal control, risk, performance and financial information and
other relevant matters concerning the municipality.
The table below sets forth the particulars of the current Audit Committee members and their dates of
appointment:

3. Audit committee’s responsibility
The audit committee has complied with its responsibilities arising from section 166 of the MFMA read
with MFMA Circular 65, and reports that it operated in terms of the audit committee charter read in
conjunction with the internal audit charter.
4. Effectiveness of internal control
464
The audit committee acknowledges management’s efforts to strengthen internal controls within the
municipality. Due to the strategic importance of, and investment in, the modernisation of information
and communication technology (ICT) in the municipality, the audit committee has considered internal
audit reports on the ICT controls during the year under review. The audit committee remains
concerned that not all ICT risks have been addressed in implementing the new systems.
5. The quality of monthly and quarterly reports submitted in terms of the MFMA and DORA
The audit committee is satisfied with the content and quality of monthly and quarterly reports
prepared and issued during the year under review in compliance with the statutory framework. The
finance committee of the municipality reviews these reports on quarterly basis and engage with
management to remedy shortcomings, especially on reports relating to performance against
predetermined objectives. Furthermore these reports are submitted to the audit committee for noting.
The audit committee reviewed the municipality’s annual financial statements and report on
performance information prior to submission to the external auditors by 31 August 2019.
The audit committee has reviewed the reports issued to National Treasury and the Transferring Officer
in terms of the Division of Revenue Act and is comfortable that the Municipality is meeting its
obligation in terms of DORA and has recognised revenue to the extent that conditions have been met.
6. Internal audit function
The accounting officer is obliged, in terms of section 165 of the MFMA, to ensure that the entity has a
system of internal audit under the control and direction of the audit committee. The audit committee
is satisfied that the internal audit function has properly discharged its functions and responsibilities
during the year under review.
The internal audit capacity has been enhanced through co-sourcing parts of the internal audit
function to independent external service providers. The audit committee supports the direction that
the internal audit function is adopting in providing the necessary skills and agility required for the
function to respond quickly and effectively to the demands for internal audit across the municipality.
The recent appointment of specialist ICT auditors is a welcome development in light of the need for
expertise in the auditing of automated systems and the development and maintenance of a system of
continuous auditing.
In terms of the risk-based audit plan approved by the audit committee, the internal audit function
performed twenty eight (28) of the thirty two (32) planned engagements, with the other four (4) being
postponed due to capacity constraints within the internal audit function during the year under review.
The internal audit function found that the control environment as a whole was effective, however,
some control weaknesses were identified in certain areas and recommendations were made for
improvement.
465
The audit committee is satisfied that the internal audit function maintains an effective internal quality
assurance and programme that covers all aspects of the internal audit activity.
7. Risk management function
The audit committee is responsible for the oversight of the risk management function To ensure that
the risk management committee understands the requirements of the audit committee, a member of
the audit committee serves as a member of the risk management committee. The committee has
reviewed the risk register and the reports from the risk committee and is satisfied with the maturity of
the risk management process.
8. Evaluation of the finance function
The audit committee is satisfied with the municipality’s finance function during the year under review.
9. Performance management
Part of the responsibilities of the audit committee includes the review of performance management.
The audit committee has in terms of the performance of the municipality performed the following
functions:
Review and comment on compliance with statutory requirements and performance
management best practices and standards.
Review and comment on the alignment of the integrated development plan, budget,
service delivery and budget implementation plan and
performance agreements.
Review and comment on the relevance of indicators to ensure that they are
measurable and relate to services performed by the municipality and
its entities.
Review of compliance with in-year reporting requirements.
Review of the quarterly performance reports submitted by the internal audit function.
Review and comment on the municipality’s performance management system and
making recommendations for its improvement.
The audit committee is satisfied that the performance report has been prepared in terms of the
MFMA, MSA and the related Regulations.
10. Fraud and irregular activities
During the period under review, no forensic investigations were performed internally and no other
reports were submitted to the audit committee for consideration, however the work of the internal
audit is planned in such a manner that fruitless and wasteful expenditure, irregular expenditure is
identified.
466
The Audit Committee has noted the findings and the conclusion of the Auditor General on the
irregular expenditure as a result of non-compliance with SCM regulations. The committee is confident
that given the effectiveness of the controls in place the recurrence of this exception will be prevented.
11. Evaluation of the annual financial statements
The audit committee has reviewed the annual financial statements, which focused on the
following: • Significant financial reporting judgements and estimates contained in the
annual financial statements.
Clarity and completeness of disclosures and whether disclosures made have been set
properly in context.
Quality and acceptability of, and any changes in, accounting policies and practices.
Compliance with accounting standards and legal requirements.
Significant adjustments and/or unadjusted differences resulting from the audit.
Reflection of unusual circumstances or events and management’s explanation for the
accounting treatment adopted.
Reasons for major year-on-year fluctuations.
Asset valuations and revaluations.
Calculation and levels of general and specific provisions.
Write-offs and reserve transfers.
The basis for the going concern assumption, including any financial sustainability risks and
issues.
Except for the matters identified by the external auditors in the auditor’s report, the audit committee
is comfortable that the annual financial statements were prepared in terms of GRAP and the MFMA.
12. External auditor’s report
The external audit function performed by the Auditor General South Africa is independent of the
entity.
The audit committee accepts the conclusion and audit opinion of the external auditors on the annual
financial statements. The committee is of the view that the audited financial statements be accepted
and read together with the report of the external auditors. The audit committee confirms that it has
been adequately appraised of the issues giving rise to the audit opinion.
The audit committee also concurs with the conclusion on the reported performance information and
compliance with legislation. The committee is comfortable that given the implementation of effective
and efficient controls, these matters should be adequately dealt with in future periods.
On behalf of the Audit Committee

1.2 Going concern assumption
These annual financial statements have been prepared based on the expectation that the Municipality will continue to operate as agoing concern for at least the next 12 months.
1.3 Offsetting
Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses have not been offset except when offsetting is required or permitted by a Standard of GRAP.
1.4 Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Municipality’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions thataffect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liabilityaffected in future periods.
Judgements
In the process of applying the Municipality’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the mostsignificant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Operating lease – Municipality as lessor
The Municipality has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Municipality has determined, basedon an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of theseproperties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significantrisk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are as follows:
Depreciation and impairment
The Municipality depreciates its assets over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. Theappropriateness of its assets’ estimated useful lives, residual values and their depreciation methods are re-assessed on an annual basis. Theactual lives of these assets and their respective residual values may vary depending on a variety of factors. In re-assessing asset lives,factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account.
Management used their judgement in applying the internal and external impairment indicators to its assets. No impairment indicators wereidentified and as such the recoverable amounts of the aforementioned assets was not calculated.
Customer receivables
At year-end management makes an estimate of the amount of total outstanding customer debt that it expects to hand over to externaldebt collectors and the total subsequent receipts it expects to receive after year end. In addition, management estimates the amounts thatit expects to recover from outstanding balances handed over based upon the age profile of debts handed over and based on priorexperience and trends. A provision for impairment is raised based on these estimates. A detailed breakdown of the student fee receivable isprovided in note 3.
Provisions
Provisions were raised and management determined an estimate based on the information available. Additional disclosure of theseestimates of provisions are included in note 15 - Provisions.

Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.4 Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Post retirement benefits
The present value of the post retirement obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using anumber of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) include the discount rate. Any changes in theseassumptions will impact on the carrying amount of post retirement obligations.
The Municipality determines the appropriate discount rate every two years. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine thepresent value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the pension obligations. In determining the appropriatediscount rate, the Municipality considers the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in whichthe benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
Other key assumptions for pension obligations are based on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 16.
1.5 Comparative figures
Prior year Comparative
Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.
When the presentation or classification of items in the Annual Financial Statements is amended, prior period comparative amounts arerestated. The nature and reason for the reclassification is disclosed. Where accounting errors have been identified in the current year, thecorrection is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior year comparatives are restated accordingly. Where there has been achange in accounting policy in the current year, the adjustment is made retrospectively as far as is practicable, and the prior yearcomparatives are restated accordingly.
Current year Comparative
Budgeted amounts have been included in the annual financial statements for the current financial year only.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment
Initially recognition
Property, plant and equipment are tangible non-current assets (including infrastructure assets) that are held for use in the production orsupply of goods or services, rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and are expected to be used during more than one year.
Infrastructure assets in particular are those that are part of a system or network, specialized in nature and do not have alternative uses,immovable and maybe subject to constraints on disposal.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if it is probable that future economic benefits orservice potential associated with the item will flow to the municipality, and if the cost or fair value of the item can be measured reliably.
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost on its acquisition date or in the case of assets acquired by grant or donation,deemed cost, being the fair value of the asset on initial recognition. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is the purchaseprice and other costs attributable to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the mannerintended by the municipality.
Trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the cost. The cost also includes the necessary costs of dismantling and removing theasset and restoring the site on which it is located.
When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separateitems (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset is measured at its fair value. If theacquired item could not be measured at its fair value, its cost was measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up.
Subsequent measurement

Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.6 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised if it is probable that future economic benefits or potentialservice delivery associated with the subsequent expenditure will flow to the entity and the cost or fair value of the subsequent expenditurecan be reliably measured.
Subsequent expenditure incurred on an asset is only capitalised when it increases the capacity or future economic benefits associated withthe asset. Where the municipality replaces parts of an asset, it de-recognises the part of the asset being replaced and capitalises the newcomponent.
Subsequently all property plant and equipment, are measured at cost (or deemed cost), less accumulated depreciation and accumulatedimpairment losses. Compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were impaired, lost or given up isincluded in surplus or deficit when the compensation becomes receivable.
Depreciation
Land is not depreciated as it is regarded as having an indefinite life. Depreciation on assets other than land is calculated on cost, using thestraight-line method, to allocate their cost to their residual values over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The depreciation methodused reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential are expected to be consumed by themunicipality on each asset.
Components of assets that are significant in relation to the whole asset and that have different useful lives are depreciated separately. Thedepreciation rates are based on the following estimated useful lives.
The Municipality assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the entity's expectations about the residual value anduseful life of an asset have changed since the preceding reporting date. If any such indication exists, the municipality revises the expecteduseful life and/or residual value. The change(s) are accounted for in accordance with the Standard of GRAP on Accounting Policies, Changesin Accounting Estimates and Errors.
Depreciation only commences when the asset is available for use.
The depreciable amount of an asset is allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciatedseparately.
The depreciation method used reflects the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential are expected to beconsumed by the Municipality. The depreciation method applied to an asset is reviewed at least at each reporting date and, if there hasbeen a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits or service potential embodied in theasset, the method is changed to reflect the changed pattern. Such a change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
The Municipality assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the Municipality expectations about the residual valueand the useful life of an asset have changed since the preceding reporting date. If any such indication exists, the Municipality revises theexpected useful life and/or residual value accordingly. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
The depreciation charge for each period is recognised in surplus or deficit unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.
Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised when the asset is disposed of or when there are no further economic benefits orservice potential expected from the use of the asset.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in surplus or deficit when the item isderecognised. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the differencebetween the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item.
Assets which the Municipality holds for rentals to others and subsequently routinely sell as part of the ordinary course of activities, aretransferred to inventories when the rentals end and the assets are available-for-sale. Proceeds from sales of these assets are recognised asrevenue. All cash flows on these assets are included in cash flows from operating activities in the cash flow statement.
The Municipality separately discloses expenditure to repair and maintain property, plant and equipment in the notes to the financialstatements (see note 8).

Derecognition
Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised when the asset is disposed of or when there are no further economic benefits orservice potential expected from the use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant andequipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value and is recognised in the Statement ofFinancial Performance.
1.7 Leases
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. A lease is classified as anoperating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership.
When a lease includes both land and buildings elements, the entity assesses the classification of each element separately.
Operating leases - lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Leased assets are classified as investment property measured at cost model and depreciation on leased assets has been calculated inaccordance with GRAP 17 Property, plant and equipment.
Operating leases - lessee
Operating leases are those leases that do not fall within the scope of the above definition. Operating lease expenses are recognised on astraight-line basis over the lease term.
1.8 Impairment of cash-generating assets
Cash-generating assets are assets used with the objective of generating a commercial return. Commercial return means that positive cashflows are expected to be significantly higher than the cost of the asset.
Impairment is a loss in the future economic benefits or service potential of an asset, over and above the systematic recognition of the lossof the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential through depreciation (amortisation).
Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in the statement of financial position after deducting any accumulateddepreciation and accumulated impairment losses thereon.
18
City of uMhlathuzeAnnual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2019
Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.8 Impairment of cash-generating assets (continued)
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets used with the objective of generating a commercial return that generatescash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.
Depreciation (Amortisation) is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable,willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
Recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Useful life is either: the period of time over which an asset is expected to be used by the Municipality; or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the Municipality.
In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the following have been considered:
External sources of information Cessation or near cessation, of the demand or need for services provided by the asset; Significant long-term changes with an adverse effect on the entity that have taken place during the period or will take place in
the near future, in the technological, legal or government policy environment in which the municipality operates.
Internal sources of information Evidence of physical damage of an asset; Increased expenditure on repairs and maintenance on the asset.
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that thecarrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amountis the higher of the assets Fair Value less cost to sell, or its value in use.
1.9 Impairment of non-cash-generating assets
Cash-generating assets are assets used with the objective of generating a commercial return. Commercial return means that positive cashflows are expected to be significantly higher than the cost of the asset.
Non-cash-generating assets are assets other than cash-generating assets.
Impairment is a loss in the future economic benefits or service potential of an asset, over and above the systematic recognition of the lossof the asset’s future economic benefits or service potential through depreciation (amortisation).
Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in the statement of financial position after deducting any accumulateddepreciation and accumulated impairment losses thereon.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets managed with the objective of generating a commercial return thatgenerates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Costs of disposal are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.
Depreciation (Amortisation) is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable,willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
Recoverable service amount is the higher of a non-cash-generating asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.9 Impairment of non-cash-generating assets (continued)
Useful life is either: the period of time over which an asset is expected to be used by the Municipality; or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the Municipality.
In assessing whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the following have been considered:
External sources of information Cessation or near cessation, of the demand or need for services provided by the asset; Significant long-term changes with an adverse effect on the entity that have taken place during the period or will take place in
the near future, in the technological, legal or government policy environment in which the municipality operates.
Internal sources of information Evidence of physical damage of an asset; Increased expenditure on repairs and maintenance on the asset.
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that theserviceable amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable service amount.
The recoverable service amount is the higher of the assets fair value less cost to sell, or its value in use.
The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from the continuing use of an asset andfrom its disposal at the end of its useful life.
1.10 Intangible assets
The Municipality discloses relevant information relating to assets under construction or development, in the notes to the financialstatements (see note 9).
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Examples include computer software, licenses anddevelopment costs.
An asset is identifiable when it: is capable of being separated or divided from an entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually
or together with a related contract, assets or liability, or arises from contractual rights or other legal rights, regardless whether those rights are transferable or separate from the
Municipality or from other rights and obligations.
Initial recognition
The municipality recognises an intangible asset in its Statement of Financial Position only when it is probable that the expected futureeconomic benefits or the service potential that are attributable to the asset will flow to the municipality and the cost or fair value of theasset can be measured reliably.
Internally generated intangible assets are subject to strict recognition criteria before they are capitalised. Research expenditure is nevercapitalised, while development expenditure is only capitalised to the extent that:
the Municipality intends to complete the intangible asset for use or sale the Municipality has the ability to use or sell the asste the Municipality can reliably measure expenditure during development it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset the Municipality has the resources to complete the project, and it is probable that the Municipality will receive future economic benefits or service potential
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software.Internally generated intangible assets are subject to strict recognition criteria before they are capitalised.

City of uMhlathuzeAnnual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2019
Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.10 Intangible assets (continued)
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Where an intangible asset is acquired by the municipality for no or nominal consideration(i.e. a non-exchange transaction), the cost is deemed to be equal to the fair value of that asset on the date acquired.
Amortisation and impairment
The cost of an intangible asset is amortised over the useful life of 3 - 7 years.
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at each reporting dateand any changes are recognised as a change in accounting estimate in the Statement of Financial Performance.
Subsequent measurement
Intangible assets are carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Derecognition
An intangible asset is derecognised when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit or service potential isderived from it. The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an intangible asset is determined as the difference between the net disposalproceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset. It is recognised in surplus or deficit when the intangible asset is derecognised.
1.11 Investment property
Investment property is property (land or a building - or part of a building - or both) held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both,rather than for:
use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of operations.
Investment property is recognised as an asset when, it is probable that the future economic benefits or service potential that are associatedwith the investment property will flow to the Municipality, and the cost or fair value of the investment property can be measured reliably.
Investment property is initially recognised at cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement.
Where investment property is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, its cost is its fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Costs include costs incurred initially and costs incurred subsequently to add to, or to replace a part of, or service a property. If areplacement part is recognised in the carrying amount of the investment property, the carrying amount of the replaced part isderecognised.
Compensation from third parties for investment property that was impaired, lost or given up is recognised in surplus or deficit when thecompensation becomes receivable.
Property held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property in the following circumstances:
When classification is difficult, the criteria used to distinguish investment property from owner-occupied property and from property heldfor sale in the ordinary course of operations, including the nature or type of properties classified as held for strategic purposes, are asfollows:
The nature OR type of properties classified as held for strategic purposes are as follows:
The Municipality separately discloses expenditure to repair and maintain investment property in the notes to the annual financialstatements (see note 7).
The Municipality discloses relevant information relating to assets under construction or development, in the notes to the annual financialstatements (see note 7).

1.11 Investment property (continued)
Investment property is recognised as an asset, only where: It is probable that the future economic benefits or service potential that are associated with the investment property will flow
to the entity; and The cost or fair value of the investment property can be measured reliably.
Investment properties have been initially measured at cost (Transaction costs shall be included in this initial measurement).Transactioncosts are costs which are directly attributable to the expenditure, for example professional fees for legal services, conveyancing fees,property transfer taxes and other transaction costs shall be included in this initial measurement.
If payment for investment property is deferred, its cost is the cash price equivalent.
The difference between this amount and the total payments is recognised as interest expense over the period of credit.
Subsequent measures
Subsequently investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on cost, using the straight-line method over the useful life of the property. Buildings held under Investmentproperty are depreciated on an average useful life of 30 years. Vacant land held under investment properties is not depreciated.
Derecognition
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal, or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits orservice potential are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property is includedin surplus or deficit in the period of the retirement or disposal.
1.12 Inventories
Consumable stores, unsold water, and land held for sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
In general, the basis of determining cost is the first-in, first-out method.
For the land component recognised in terms of GRAP 12 land is recognised at cost with the cost based on fair value at date of recognition.
Redundant and slow-moving inventories are identified and written down to current replacement cost.
1.13 Revenue from exchange transactions
Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits or service potential during the reporting period when those inflows result in an increase innet assets, other than increases relating to contributions from owners.
An exchange transaction is one in which the municipality receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished, and directly givesapproximately equal value (primarily in the form of goods, services or use of assets) to the other party in exchange.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’slength transaction.
Revenue from exchange transactions refers to revenue that accrued to the Municipality directly in return for services rendered/goods sold,the value of which approximates the consideration received or receivable.
Service charges relating to electricity and water are based on consumption. Meters are read on a monthly basis and are recognised asrevenue in the period of consumption. Where meters cannot be read during a particular month, they are provisionally billed with thenecessary adjustments made in the month in which they were read. Revenue from the sale of electricity prepaid meter cards is deferredand recognised as revenue on the consumption basis, commencing on date of purchase.
Service charges relating to refuse removal are recognised on a monthly basis in arrears by applying the approved tariff to each propertythat has improvements. Tariffs are determined per category of property usage, and are levied monthly based on the number of refusecontainers on each property, regardless of whether or not all containers are emptied.

Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.13 Revenue from exchange transactions (continued)
Service charges from sewerage are based on the water consumption on each developed property using the tariffs approved from Counciland are levied monthly.
Interest and rentals are recognised on a time apportionment basis. Revenue arising from the application of the approved tariff of charges isrecognised when the relevant service is rendered by applying the relevant gazetted tariffs. This includes the issuing of licences and permits.
Income for agency services is recognised on a monthly basis once the income collected on behalf of agents has been quantified. The incomerecognised is in terms of the agency agreement.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods is passed to the consumer.
Revenue from exchange transactions is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account theamount of any trade discounts allowed by the Municipality.
1.14 Revenue from non-exchange transactions
Revenue from non-exchange transactions refers to transactions where the Municipality received revenue from another entity withoutdirectly giving approximately equal value in exchange. Revenue from non-exchange transactions is generally recognised to the extent thatthe related receipt or receivable qualifies for recognition as an asset and there is no liability to repay the amount.
Revenue from property rates is recognised when the legal entitlement to this revenue arises. Collection charges are recognised when suchamounts are legally enforceable. Penalty interest on unpaid rates is recognised on a time proportion basis.
Fines constitute both spot fines and summonses. Revenue from spot fines and summonses is recognised when it is accrued. Spot fines areusually not given directly to the offender. Further legal processes have to be undertaken before the spot fine is enforceable. In respect tosummon, the Public Prosecutor can decide whether to waive the fine, reduce it or prosecute for non-payment by the offender.
Donations are recognised on a cash receipt basis or where the donation is in the form of property, plant and equipment, when such itemsof property, plant and equipment are brought into use furthermore Revenue from public contributions and donations is recognised whenall conditions associated with the contribution have been met or where the contribution is to finance property, plant and equipment, whensuch items of property, plant and equipment qualifies for recognition and first becomes available for use by the Municipality.
Where public contributions have been received but the Municipality has not met the related conditions, a deferred income (liability) isrecognised.
Revenue from the recovery of unauthorised, irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure is based on legislated procedures, including thoseset out in the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act No. 56 of 2003) and is recognised when the recovery thereof from the responsibleCouncillors or officials is virtually certain.
The liability is transferred to revenue as and when the conditions attached to the grant are met. Grants without any conditions attached arerecognised as revenue when the asset is recognised.
1.15 Provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Municipality has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the provision can bemade. Provisions are reviewed at reporting sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Contingent Liabilities and Assetsare not recognized but disclosed.
The Municipality does not recognise a contingent liability or contingent asset. A contingent liability is disclosed unless the possibility of anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits isprobable.
Future events that may affect the amount required to settle an obligation are reflected in the amount of a provision where there issufficient objective evidence that they will occur. Gains from the expected disposal of assets are not taken into account in measuring aprovision. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. The present obligation under an onerous contract is recognised andmeasured as a provision.

1.16 Housing development fund
Housing selling schemes both complete and in progress at 1 April 1998, were also transferred to the Housing Development Fund. Allproceeds from housing developments, which include rental income and sales of houses, is paid into the Housing Development Fund.Monies standing to the credit of the Housing Development Fund are used to finance housing developments within the municipal area. Anytransfers to and from the fund are recognized in the statement of changes in net assets.
1.17 Retirement benefits
The Municipality provides post-retirement medical aid benefits to retired employees. The entitlement to these benefits is usuallyconditional on the employee remaining in employment up to retirement age.
An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases,mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature,a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions.
The Expected costs of these benefits are accrued of the period of employment. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized immediately in the statement of financial performance for the reportingperiod. The Defined benefit obligations are valued once in two years by independent qualified actuaries.
1.18 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance in the period in which they are incurredin accordance with GRAP 5.
1.19 Financial instruments
Classification
The Municipality has types of financial instruments and these can be broadly categorised as either Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets are categorised according to their nature as financial assets at amortised costs and financial liabilities are categorized asfinancial liabilities carried at amortised cost in accordance with GRAP 104.
Financial assets
The classification of financial assets depends on their nature and purpose, and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are categorised as financial assets: loans and receivables including statutory receivables and are initiallyrecognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Amortised cost refers to the initial carrying amount, plus interest, lessrepayments and impairments. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Thefair value of Debtors is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default ordelinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. Impairments aredetermined by discounting expected future cash flows to their present value. Amounts that are receivable within 12 months from thereporting date are classified as current.
An impairment of trade receivables is accounted for by reducing the carrying amount of trade receivables through the use of an allowanceaccount, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance within operating expenses. When a tradereceivable is uncollectible, it is written off.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in the Statement of FinancialPerformance.
Cash and cash equivalents
24
City of uMhlathuzeAnnual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2019
Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.19 Financial instruments (continued)
Cash includes cash on hand (including petty cash) and cash with banks (including call deposits). Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquidinvestments, readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are held with registered banking institutions with maturities of threemonths or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, net ofbank overdrafts. The Municipality categorises cash and cash equivalents as Financial assets: loans and receivables. The closing balance onthe bank account is representative of its fair value of the monies held.
Bank overdrafts are recorded based on the facility utilised. Finance charges on bank overdrafts are expensed as incurred. Amounts owing inrespect of bank overdrafts are categorised as Financial liabilities: other financial liabilities carried at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables from exchange transactions
Financial liabilities consist of trade payables and borrowings. They are categorised as financial liabilities held at amortised cost, are initiallyrecognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost which is the initial carrying amount, less repayments, plus interest.The fair value of creditors is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reportingdate.
Borrowings and other financial liabilities
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Long-term borrowings are non-derivative financial loans and the Municipality does not hold financial loans for trading purposes. Long-termborrowings are utilised. Other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost.
The interbank rate or prime lending rate is not the risk-free interest rate, however it has been used as a benchmark for determining themarket related rate of interest which is not significantly different to the current rates on long-term loans, hence the fair value of these loansequates their amortised cost.
1.20 Heritage assets
A heritage asset is defined as an asset that has a cultural, environmental, historical, natural, scientific, technological or artistic significanceand is held and preserved indefinitely for the benefit of present and future generations. A heritage asset shall be recognised as an asset if,and only if,
(a) It is probable that the economic benefit or service potential will flow to the Municipality,
(b) The cost or the fair value will be measured reliably.
The Municipality separately discloses expenditure to repair and maintain heritage assets in the notes to the financial statements (see note11).
The Municipality discloses relevant information relating to assets under construction or development, in the notes to the financialstatements (see note 11).
Initial measurement
A heritage asset that qualifies for recognition as an asset shall be measured at its cost (Cash price equivalent at the recognition date).Where a heritage asset is acquired through a non-exchange transaction, its cost is deemed to be its fair value as at the date of acquisition.
25
City of uMhlathuzeAnnual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2019
Accounting Policies for the year ended 30 June 2019
1.20 Heritage assets (continued)
Subsequent measurement
Heritage assets are not depreciated, since their long economic life and high residual value mean that any depreciation would be immaterial.
After recognition as an asset, heritage assets shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The Municipality assessesat each reporting date whether there are any indicators of impairment of Heritage assets.
Where there is an indication of impairment the assets are recorded at their recoverable amount or their recoverable service amount.
Derecognition
A Heritage asset is de-recognised when it is disposed or where there is no future economic benefits or service potential are expected fromits use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from de-recognition, is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any,and the carrying amount of the heritage asset. Such difference is recognised in surplus or deficit when the heritage asset is derecognized.
1.21 Short term benefits
The cost of short-term employee benefits, (those payable within 12 months after the service is rendered, such as paid vacation leave andsick leave, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits such as medical care), are recognised in the period in which the service is rendered and arenot discounted.
The expected cost of compensated absences is recognised as an expense as the employees render services that increase their entitlementor, in the case of non-accumulating absences, when the absence occurs. The expected cost of bonus payments is recognised as an expensewhen there is a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past performance.
1.22 Grants in aid
The Municipality donates money, goods or services to individuals, organisations and other sectors of government from time to time. Whenmaking these donations, the Municipality does not:Receive any goods or services directly in return as would be expected in a purchase or sale transaction;Expect to be repaid in future; orExpect a financial return, as would be expected from an investment.
These transfers are recognized in the statement of financial performance as expenses in the period during which events giving rise to thetransfer occurred.
1.23 Budget information
The budget is prepared on an accrual basis. The budget amounts are scheduled as a separate additional financial statement called thestatement of comparison of budget and actual amounts.
Explanatory comments are provided in the notes to the annual financial statements, first stating reasons for changes from approved to finalbudget and secondly reasons for overspending or underspending on line items.
1.24 Unauthorised expenditure
Unauthorized expenditure is expenditure that has not been budgeted, expenditure that is not in terms of the conditions of an allocationreceived from another sphere of government, municipality or organ of state and expenditure in the form of a grant that is not permitted interms of the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act No.56 of 2003).
1.25 Irregular expenditure
Irregular expenditure is expenditure that is contrary to the Municipal Finance Management Act (Act No.56 of 2003), the Municipal SystemsAct (Act No.32 of 2000), the Public Office Bearers Act (Act No. 20 of 1998) or is in contravention of the Municipality’s supply chainmanagement policy. Irregular expenditure excludes unauthorised expenditure.
Irregular expenditure excludes unauthorised expenditure. Irregular expenditure is accounted for as expenditure in the Statement ofFinancial Performance and where recovered, it is subsequently accounted for as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance.

1.26 Fruitless and wasteful expenditure
Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is expenditure that was made in vain and would have been avoided had reasonable care been exercised.Fruitless and wasteful expenditure is accounted for as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Performance and where recovered, it issubsequently accounted for as revenue in the Statement of Financial Performance.
1.27 Value-added Tax
VAT
The Municipality accounts for Value Added Tax on payments basis. This means that VAT is declared to the South African Revenue Servicesas input VAT or output VAT only when payments are made to suppliers or payments are received for goods or services. The net output VATon debtors where money has not been received or creditors where payment has not been made is disclosed separately in the Statement ofFinancial Position in terms of GRAP 1.
1.28 Internal reserves
Capital replacement reserve (CRR)
In order to finance the provision of infrastructure and other items of property, plant and equipment from internal sources, amounts aretransferred from the accumulated surplus/(deficit) to the CRR. A corresponding amount is transferred to a designated CRR bank orinvestment account. The cash in the designated CRR bank account can only be utilised to finance items of property, plant and equipment.The CRR is reduced and the accumulated surplus/(deficit) is credited by a corresponding amount when the amounts in the CRR are utilised.
The following guidelines are set for the creation and utilisation of the CRR:
1) The cash funds that back up the CRR are invested until utilised.2) The CRR may only be utilised for purchasing items of property, plant and equipment, and not their maintenance, unless otherwisedirected by Council.3) Whenever an asset is purchased out of the CRR, an amount equal to the cost price of the asset is transferred from CRR and accumulatedsurplus is credited by a corresponding amount.
1.29 Events after reporting date
Events after reporting date are those events, both favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the reporting date and the date whenthe financial statements are authorised for issue. Two types of events can be identified:
those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the reporting date (adjusting events after the reporting date); and those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting date (non-adjusting events after the reporting date).
The Municipality will adjust the amount recognised in the financial statements to reflect adjusting events after the reporting date once theevent occurred.
The Municipality will disclose the nature of the event and an estimate of its financial effect or a statement that such estimate cannot bemade in respect of all material non-adjusting events, where non-disclosure could influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of the financial statements.

40. Financial risk management
Financial risk management
The municipality’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk.
The municipality’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potentialadverse effects on the municipality’s financial performance. The municipality uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain riskexposures. Risk management is carried out by financial services department under policies approved by the accounting officer. Municipality'sfinancial services department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the municipality’s operating units. Theaccounting officer provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreignexchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment ofexcess liquidity.

40. Financial risk management (continued)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the municipality will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due. The municipality's approach is to ensurethat sufficient liquidity is available to meet its liabilities when due. The municipality uses cash flow forecasts to ensure that sufficient cash isavailable to meet expected operating expenses. This is guided by working capital and revenue enhancement policy.
The municipality’s risk to liquidity is a result of the funds available to cover future commitments. The municipality manages liquidity riskthrough an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities.
The credit profile of the City of uMhlathuze issued by Moody's Investor Service for the 2018/19 financial year, reflects its prudent financialpolicies, solid operating performance and a strong liquidity position, with a rating of (Ba2).
Cash flow forecasts are prepared and adequate utilised borrowing facilities are monitored.
The table below analyses the municipality’s financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupingsbased on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table arethe contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is notsignificant.
Credit risk
Credit risk consists mainly of cash deposits, cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and trade debtors. The municipality onlydeposits cash with major banks with high quality credit standing and limits exposure to any one counter-party.
Trade receivables comprise a widespread customer base. Management evaluated credit risk relating to customers on an ongoing basis. Ifcustomers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit qualityof the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal orexternal ratings in accordance with limits set by Council. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Sales to retail customers aresettled in cash or using major credit cards. Credit guarantee insurance is purchased when deemed appropriate.
Financial assets exposed to credit risk at year end were as follows:
`
Financial instrument 2019 2018Investments 390 000 000 415 000 000Cash and cash equivalents 71 337 933 45 422 240Long-term receivables - -Consumer debtors 361 728 008 412 170 563Receivables from non exchange transactions 105 106 988 97 606 357
Market risk
Interest rate risk
As the municipality has no significant interest-bearing assets, the municipality’s income and operating cash flows are substantiallyindependent of changes in market interest rates.
The municipality’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the municipality to cashflow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the municipality to fair value interest rate risk. Municipality policy is tomaintain its borrowings in fixed rate instruments.
