1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF HOUSING PLAN 1.1 Background Information

Udidi was appointed to undertake the formulation of a Housing Development Plan, which would include a land suitability analysis and a housing delivery strategy for the Municipality’s area of jurisdiction.

The uMlalazi Municipality is one of the local municipalities that fall under the uThungulu District Municipality. Three urban centres anchor the uMlalazi Municipal area namely Eshowe, Gingindlovu and Mtunzini (See Map 1). Eshowe fulfils the role of being the sub-regional centre and has the most diversified economy. Gingindlovu is a small urban area, which acts as a service centre for its immediate surrounding area in particular the farm areas. Mtunzini is basically a dormitory town in respect of the University of Zululand and to a certain extent in respect of Empangeni and Richards Bay. The national route (N2 Motorway) between Durban and Richards Bay is located to the south-east of the municipal area and is aligned parallel to the coastline and to the immediate west of Mtunzini. Arterial roads through the area are in good condition. There are various district roads in the area together with smaller farm and agricultural roads; practically these roads are in a poor condition and in need of upgrading The municipal area includes a coastline on the Indian Ocean of some 18 km. The population distribution in the municipal area is characterised by relatively high population densities within urban nodes, and low densities in rural areas and farms. Tribal areas dominate the municipal area and 14 Tribal Authorities exist within the area namely; Inkosi N.T Nzuza T.A, Inkosi G. Zulu T.A, Inkosi M.K Ntuli T.A, Inkosi Mvuzane Biyela T.A, Inkosi B.T Dube T.A, Inkosi Shange T.A, Inkosi B.L Mpungose T.A, Inkosi Bhekishowe Zulu T.A, Inkosi Mzimela T.A, Inkosi Koza T.A, Ndlhayangubo Biyela T.A, Inkosi Kolweni T.A, Inkosi Mvuzane Biyela T.A and Inkosi Bangindoda Zulu T.A.

1.2 Purpose of Housing Sector Plan The Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 requires all municipalities to compile Integrated

Development Plans (IDPs) that will guide all their planning, budgeting and management decisions. Apart from the legislative requirement to compile IDPs, municipalities are also expected to compile sector plans, which should form part of the IDPs. The following are examples of national legal requirements that demand municipalities to formulate sector plans:

Water Services Development Plan (WSDP): Department of Water Affairs and

Forestry Integrated Waste Management Plan (WMP): Department of Water Affairs and

Forestry Integrated Transport Plan (ITP): Department of Transport Land Development Objectives (LDOs): Department Land Affairs and

Spatial Development Framework (SDF): Department of Provincial Affairs and Local Government

In addition to these municipalities are also required to incorporate into their planning frameworks; Housing Strategies and Targets, Local Economic Development Plans, Integrated Energy Plans and Integrated Infrastructure Plans. They also are expected to comply with guiding principles of National Environmental Management Act (NEMA), Environmental Management Plans (EMPs), Environmental Implementation Plans (EIPs) and the Development Facilitation Act (DFA). The Housing Act (No. 107 of 1997) informs the compilation of housing plans. Part IV of the Act specifically requires municipalities to compile housing strategies and targets, as part of their IDPs. The uMlalazi Housing Plan is being developed within the context of these legal provisions. It will form part of the uMlalazi IDP once completed. This Housing Plan is intended to be, a guiding document that will help the municipality achieve the objective of providing sustainable housing for its residents. Through this housing plan the municipality will also be able to stimulate the local economy, create an environment for local job creation, and address the needs of its residents. Planned housing projects will also ensure that integration happens between housing and other service provision such as infrastructure development; roads, transport, health, education and security.

2.0 METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED IN FORMULATION OF THE PLAN The uMlalazi IDP document served as an important source of information in compilation

of this Housing sector plan and was complemented by other relevant miscellaneous documents.

The methodology adopted in the formulation of this Housing Plan involved the following phases and steps:

PHASE 1: PROJECT PREPARATION AND DATA COLLECTION Step 1: Project preparation and setting up of Steering Committee The planning process was initiated by means of an introductory workshop, to select a steering committee and then to gain consensus on the programme and methodology, and formulate the consultation process.

The information collected during this phase was analysed and synthesised into a status draft status quo report, with associated mapping and included: A brief explanation of the legal context and the Municipality’s responsibility in the

housing field The status quo of all current housing projects

Step 2: Data collection analysis and 1st Draft Status Quo Report

An inventory of potential housing sites already identified in existing plans and reports, and the formulation of criteria for the identification and prioritization of potential housing sites

An estimate of existing housing backlog Data collection and consultation with the relevant stakeholders covered the

following aspects: - The supply of housing: the number of current and planned housing

projects; the number of sites in each housing project; details of the developers;

- Availability of infrastructural services: ease of extension of road, water, electricity and sanitation connections; this involved liaising with uThungulu District Municipality regarding their plans to supply infrastructure services within the area so as to ensure alignment.

- Physical considerations: broad geo-technical information; floodlines and other relevant physical considerations.

- Environmental Considerations: sensitive environmental features; environmental conditions which may have a negative impact on residential development

- Conformity to development proposals: forward planning documents such as the Spatial Development Framework, to ensure conformity to such plans.

Step 3: Second Steering Committee Meeting At this meeting the status quo report was presented and discussed for comments to be made. PHASE 2: INVESTIGATION

This phase involved the investigation process, which entailed the following steps: Step 1: Analysis of Potential Housing Sites Potential housing sites were analysed in terms of broad suitability criteria such as:

Bulk infrastructure Analysis liaising with the uThungulu District Broad Geotech Overview (Desktop) Physical constraints Environmental Overview Accessibility Ownership Location in relation to employment opportunities and community facilities Compatibility with other IDP objectives and the Spatial Development Framework

Step 2: Formulation of Housing Delivery Goals This step involved the following:

Review of all Current and Planned Projects as well as Future housing Projects within the municipal area.

A detailed Cash Flow Structure, this spreadsheet includes the cash flow requirements in a, (5-year time horizon) for all the current projects and all the planned projects. The total two sections should be added together to determine the municipal funding requirement for the 5-year horizon.

Funding Sources Step 3: Third Steering Committee Meeting The outcomes of the analysis undertaken in phase 2 were compiled into a 2nd Draft Report and presented as well as workshopped with the Steering Committee and Council to ensure the transfer of skills to the municipal officials in the process of developing the plan. PHASE 3: Advertising Process

3.0 ANALYSIS OF DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

3.1 Population Demographics

The following information was compiled from the Statistics South Africa (2001) database and population figures of the Municipal Demarcation Board on which the uMlalazi Integrated Development Plan was based. TABLE 1: POPULATION FIGURES 2001

POPULATION SOURCE

AFRICAN COLOURED ASIAN WHITE OTHER TOTAL

MUNICIPAL DERMACATION BOARD

DIFFERENTIAL

-2,45% -14,47% -30,14% -40,04% ___ -4,30%

According to Municipal Demarcation Board the total population of the uMlalazi Area is estimated to be 231 023 whereas, the Statistics South Africa (2001) indicated a lower figure in the current population 221 078 (See Map 2), of which 97.5% is in the African group. This group is by far the least urbanized (6.5%), implying that there is a large rural population approximately 93.5% of the total population. (Census Report Annexed) The White, Coloured and Asian populations are resident in the urban nodes of Eshowe, Mtunzini and Gingindlovu and all of these groups are more than 80% urbanized. The total number of households was calculated to be 38 448 within the uMlalazi Area, and of the total number of households, only 16 171 are resident in formal dwellings. The rest of the households are scattered over the municipal area, in the form of informal settlements, consisting of informal dwellings (2%) and traditional houses (55%). This implies an average household size of 5, 75 within the municipal area.

3.2 Local Economic Analysis

All the formal employment opportunities are in the urban nodes and specifically in Eshowe, which is the primary administrative center in the district. This has resulted in the rural areas being characterized by low-income population having to survive on informal trading, subsistence agricultural production and tourism. The uMlalazi local economy is based on Agricultural production (Sector) and sugar cane is the primary crop that is produced. Followed by the General Government Sector, Wholesale and Retail Trade Sector and the Finance and Real Estate Sector dominate the local economy. Although tourism is seen as an important economic contributor, the municipality is currently developing a more efficient and effective sector by creating an attractive tourism environment such as investing in tourism infrastructure & superstructure.

In terms of the 2001 Census for uMlalazi the majority (55.5%) of the total population falls within the economically active age group of 15 to 64 year’s, which indicates a fairly poor population with (25%) of the total number of households having no income. The majority of employment is in the “elementary occupation” category (28%) and regarding labour resources it presents mostly unskilled workers.

4.0 ANALYSIS OF CURRENT HOUSING DEMMAND

4.1 Current Housing Demand

The housing backlog in the uMlalazi municipal area is such that only 28% of the households in the municipal area live in formal dwellings. The primary housing backlog remains in the tribal / rural areas, where housing projects will have to be implemented. The provision of housing in the rural areas is a high demand which will be in the form of Insitu Upgrades, in Eshowe and Gingindlovu is one of the prioritised needs of the municipality in order to address the prevailing backlog in the area which is growing at a very rapid rate. Based on the current the current housing demand database for uMlalazi area the demand is estimated to be 7 380 in the urban areas and houses, whereas a quantified figure in the rural areas is estimated to be an average of 65% of the total demand which is 13 842 households not residing in a formal dwelling within the rural areas. It is therefore imperative that this housing shortage be addressed as soon as possible in order to avoid pressures building up to an uncontrollable level. According to the uMlalazi Integrated Development Plan there is an emergence of Rural Housing Projects in the area, which is based on the formalisation of existing informal settlements. The formalisation of squatter shacks in the King Dinizulu and Gingindlovu has been identified as a high-rank priority in the area. Housing Demand in Eshowe Urban Node

uMLALAZI MUNICIPALITY: MUNICIPAL HOUSING SECTOR PLAN REPORT

Udidi, Pietermaritzburg C:\athando\ajobs\Uml 936\report\final draft rep. doc APRIL 2007

According to the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), the current housing waiting list is approximately 6 000 and increasing due to population growth. A further important issue that has surfaced is the squatter development in King Dinizulu and at present it is estimated that approximately 200 families are living under these conditions.

Housing Demand in the Mtunzini Urban Node

According to the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) the housing demand in Mtunzini is primarily in the market segment where developers/buyers can secure their own finance. At this point concentration should be made on “Affordable Housing” for the general community.

Housing Demand in the Gingindlovu Urban Node Gingindlovu is the smallest of the urban nodes, the immediate housing demand in respect of the area is 300 units according to the (IDP). The housing waiting list for Gingindlovu is approximately 500. There is therefore a shortfall. The housing demand in Gingindlovu is expected to be higher than the figure indicated above. The reason for this is the fact that there are approximately 150 households squatting on state owned land (Erf 76, Gingindlovu Township). Local council is in the process of formalizing the situation.

Housing Demand in the Rural Areas

It is difficult to ascertain the housing demand in the rural areas as many households reside in dwellings such as informal or traditional houses or shelter. The municipal demarcation board and the 2001 population census state that, the estimated number of households in the rural areas is between, 33 048 and 35 951. Therefore if the housing backlogs are applied to these figures, it implies that there are approximately 13 842 households not residing in a formal dwelling. These figures will not be accurate but serve the purpose of indicating the housing situation in the rural areas.

5.0 BULK SERVICES INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS

5.1 Water Supply

The Umlalazi Municipality (UM) is the Water Services Authority and the uThungulu District Municipality (UDM) is the Water Services Provider. Information relating to the existing and planned infrastructure was taken from the “Master Planning for Water Supply to the Kwahlokohloko and Eshowe Supply Areas in the Umlalazi Local Municipal Areas 2005 Revision” and the “Master Planning with the Middledrift Scheme as Source, May 2003” prepared by VGC Consulting Engineers for the uThungulu District Municipality.

5.1.1 Existing Schemes

The water supply within the Umlalazi Municipality boundaries is divided into 3 areas. They are the Kwahlokohloko, Eshowe and Middledrift Supply Areas.

Kwahlokohloko and Eshowe Supply Areas

The supply area contains the towns of Eshowe, King Dinizulu, Gingindlovu, Mtunzini, and the local council wards 8 – 26 and parts of 6, 9 of the Umlalazi Municipality, and the following Tribal Authorities:

- Mpungose - Bhekeshowe/Zulu - Biyela/Abesendangubo - Mzimela - Mondi - Nzuza - Zulu - Shange - Khoza The areas fall into the Catchment Area of the Goedertrouw Dam. There are several sources of water and a few treatment plants in these supply areas. Tables 1 and 2 give details of the existing schemes. Based on the uMlalazi Local Municipality’s IDP the existing infrastructure has insufficient distribution. In rural areas there is 50% backlog of households not being served by existing schemes. As a result the UDM has implemented a Survival Water Level of Service. The aim of this program is to provide that can provide 5 l/c/d as an interim measure. A new bulk supply line to service Mtunzini is currently being constructed by the Umhlathuze Local Municipality. The current demand is 1217 kl/d. The new pipeline will cater for a future demand of 1808 kl/d. A growth figure of 2% over 20 years was used. Mtunzini has thus not been included in this report.

Middledrift Supply Area

This supply area falls within both the Nkandla and uMlalazi Local Municipalities. For purposes of this report only the areas within the uMlalazi Local Municipality will be considered.

The Middledrift Supply Area falls within the catchment area of the Tugela River.

The population has limited access to potable water, using untreated sources such as rivers, springs and boreholes. Table 3 gives the details of existing schemes.

Based on the uMlalazi Local Municipality’s IDP the existing infrastructure has insufficient distribution. In rural areas there is 76% backlog of households not being served by existing schemes. As a result the UDM has implemented a Survival Water Level of Service. The aim of this program is to provide boreholes that can provide 5 l/c/d as an interim measure.

5.1.2 Planned Infrastructure

On average it was believed that more than 50% of households do not have access to reliable potable water. The report confirmed what was already anticipated but with solid figures to work from. As such the uThungulu District Municipality has embarked on a plan to supply water to all the Eshowe, Umlalazi and Middledrift Supply Areas. New schemes will be constructed in different phases and are shown under the applicable supply areas. Table 4 gives details of all the planned schemes for the uMlalazi Municipality. It is important to take note of the planned start date of each phase. The current plans indicate that the last phase is due to start in 2017/18. The existing schemes will be connected to the bulk storage reservoirs. There are 3 drawings that are included after Table 4.

The Water Services Master Plan Maps 4, 5 and 6 shows the various phases and must be read in conjunction with Table 4. The Master Plan for the Middledrift Supply Area. Reservoir Supply Zones for the Kwahlokohloko and Eshowe Supply Areas. Kwahlokohloko and Eshowe Supply Areas The future raw water demand has been calculated to be 24 123kl/day. The design parameters were for a 20 year period with 0% and 2%, population growth projected for rural and urban areas respectively. Studies conducted indicated that the existing sources of water are not reliable and sustainable. The Goedertrouw Dam has been identified as being able to be both sustainable and reliable in the long term. A regional treatment plant is to be constructed at the Goedertrouw Dam, rendering the existing treatment plants redundant. There will be ten bulk storage facilities in the Kwahlokohloko supply area with a total capacity of 14 800kl. 7 882kl/d will be required for the Kwahlokohloko supply area. There will be seven new bulk storage facilities in the Eshowe supply area with a total capacity of 1 300kl. 14 018kl/d will be required at Eshowe with an additional 2 223kl/d being supplied to Gingindlovu.

5.2 Sanitation 5.2.1 Existing Infrastructure

According to the Municipality’s IDP 11.5% of the total number of households have sanitation. In the urban areas of Eshowe, Mtunzini, Gingindlovu and King Dinizulu, waterborne sanitation is available. Therefore, the in the rural areas there is little or no sanitation.

5.2.2 Planned Infrastructure

As a result of the lack of sanitation in the rural areas the uThungulu District Municipality has embarked on a program to provide adequate sanitation by means of VIP latrines. Studies have shown that the population density is less than 200 persons per km2. The National Housing Board recommends that VIP latrines be provided in these areas. The “Sanitation Supply Programme for the UDM July 2005” is attached as Map 7. This drawing must be read in conjunction with Table 5 for the planned implementation date for a particular area.

5.3 Solid Waste Disposal

Solid Waste removal takes place only urban areas. There is an agreement with uMhlathuze District Municipality to dispose of solid waste at the Empangeni Landfill Site. Landfill sites are present at the following locations:

Mtunzini Garden Refuse Only Gingindlovu Garden Refuse Only Eshowe Household and Garden Refuse

The Municipality is evaluating upgrading the Mtunzini Landfill Site and also using the Empangeni Landfill Site on a long-term basis.

5.4 Power Supply

2. Eshowe Industrial Development Industrial Area 415 kva 3. Sunnydale Low Cost Housing Housing 500 kva 4. Eshowe Business Area Increase Business capacity over the next 3

years 500 kva

5. Eshowe Hospital Supply Planned Upgrade 500 kva Total 2.765 MVA

Eshowe will consume approximately 2-4 MVA (11KV) additional to the Eskom Maximum Notified Demand within the next 3 years. Presently the electrical supply to Eshowe from Eskom consists of two 7.5 MVA transformers.

The present demand together with the rural reticulation and farm lines increase to approximately 11MVA. It is therefore imperative that any future development planned for Eshowe that will place an increased demand on the electricity network must be taken into account. This will require early negotiations with Eskom for an increase in their supply to the Eshowe Local Municipality.

5.5 Cemeteries

No information is required for this report, however it is recommended that a needs study be undertaken.

6.0 PUBLIC TRANSPORT ANALYSIS

The ITP (Integrated Transport Plan), prepared by Ove Arup for the uThungulu District Municipality was used together with information gathered from the Department of Transport.

The uMlalazi Local Municipality is characterised as being predominantly rural in nature. The Provincial Road Network Map 8 attached shows the major roads within the demarcated municipal boundaries.

The total road network is 1338, 3 km long. The total length of surfaced roads is 169, 8 km (13%). The total length of unsurfaced roads is 1168,5 km (87%).

The roads are classified in the following manner:-

National Roads

These roads are the responsibility of National Government and are declared by the Department of Transport. These roads are prefixed by the letter N.

Provincial Roads

These roads are the responsibility of the Provincial Government.

Provincial Roads are prefixed by the letter P.

District Roads are prefixed by the letter D.

Local Roads are prefixed by the letter L.

Application Roads

Application roads are identified as needed by the communities or the department and as complying with the criteria to be declared a Provincial Road but not yet been built/upgraded and therefore not declared. They are numbered and appear on provincial records with a prefix A.

Municipal Roads

There are several roads that outside municipal urban areas that are not declared by either the Provincial or Municipal Government.

The report found that most of the roads that lead to social facilities are in a very poor condition.

There are currently six Public Transport Facilities in the uMlalazi Local Municipality. These facilities are used by both mini bus taxis and busses. It should be noted that bakkies are illegal but at this stage they are the only reliable form of transport that is able to traverse the poor road conditions that exist in the rural areas.

uMLALAZI MUNICIPALITY: MUNICIPAL HOUSING SECTOR PLAN REPORT

Udidi, Pietermaritzburg C:\athando\reports\Uml 936\2ND draft rep. doc NOVEMBER 2006

The CPTR (Current Public Transport Record) is a living document that lists all the modes of public transport. This document is kept by the Municipality and is updated on a yearly basis.

The report stated that polls conducted indicated that the majority of commuters requested more and frequent taxis. As more housing takes place, the private sector has shown that it has the capacity to service the transport requirements in remote areas. However, it was also stated that people in rural areas can hardly afford public transport.

7.0 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL LAND FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

7.1 One of the biggest challenges facing the uMlalazi area is to provide a formal dwelling for each household in the municipal area. Establish security of tenure for communities in the tribal / rural areas by co-ordinating housing projects with the provision of physical services such as water, sanitation, roads, electricity, etc.

It may appear that there is a shortage of land available for housing in the Umlalazi area, but this is not the case.

According to the IDP the uMlalazi Municipality has approximately 320ha of land

at its disposal, land under municipal ownership. Therefore one of the options that the municipality can take is to allocate available land for affordable housing development. This will accommodate the rapid growth of the Eshowe Population.

Within the Mtunzini urban node land for housing development is available to the

north and west of the existing built area. A vacant area of 150ha is referred as available for residential development. In terms of the Mtunzini Town Planning Scheme this area forms the remainder of townlands and is currently utilized as agriculture.

In the Gingindlovu urban node, land for housing development is to be made

available by the development of Gingindlovu Extensions 5 & 6. The two townships are located to the north of the railway reserve and south of R66 between Gingindlovu and Eshowe. The area can accommodate 300 housing units, and it is generally known as the Naickerville Area.

Tribal areas dominate the municipal area and 14 Tribal Authorities exist within

the area. The Tribal Authority makes land available for housing to individuals by means of a “permission to occupy” (PTO).

The area appears to have sufficient sources for the provision of water, and the provision of water and sanitation in the rural areas was identified as a core priority. Approximately 60% of the area cannot be provided with electricity presently, excluding the urban nodes. The complicating factor is however the heaving topography that is characteristic of the entire municipal area. In some instances it therefore becomes difficult and expensive to provide these services.

7.2 Analysis of Potential Housing Sites

As part of this process site visits of the current and planned housing projects within the municipal area were undertaken, the inspections were conducted on the following housing projects:

Gingindlovu Extension 5&6 Nzuza Rural Housing Project Sunnydale Housing Project Sunnydale/KDS - Land Affairs Project Rutledge Park – Middle Income Mtunzini – Middle Income Ndlangubo Rural Housing Project

The analysis of potential housing sites also involved the critical aspects of prioritisation and project evaluation.

The prioritisation process was to ensure that the current housing projects to be

implemented were located on suitable land for housing development as well as accessible in terms of infrastructure services although these were projects were already identified in the IDP.

The project evaluation process involves the evaluation of the technical and social

feasibility of all the current and planned projects based on the available information contained in the IDP. The evaluation process of these projects will inform the prioritisation process.

Four stages distinguish projects when developing a Housing Sector Plan:

Stage 1: Projects, which have only recently been identified (limited project info) Stage 2: Projects under preparation (varying amounts of info) Stage 3:Projects where preparation phase has been completed, but not approved (full project info) Stage 4: Approved Projects and ready to be implemented (full project info)

It must be noted that the prioritisation process does not mean that projects with limited information will be jeopardized in the process , but than further planning and preparations will be undertaken for future/proposed housing projects.

7.3 Land Reform Linkages

The current situation with regard to the land reform linkages for uMlalazi municipality is as follows:

The Department of Land Affairs has advised of their intentions to formulate area

based development plans for the district and local municipalities. The process of integrating land reform into the IDP’s of District and Local Municipalities would be in the form of Area Based Plans that would focus, amongst others, on the alignment of land reform with the sustain human settlement plans of municipalities, resulting in the DLA acquiring land for housing projects which will

Furthermore the municipality has submitted a letter of request to the Department

of Land Affairs to consider the purchase of a portion of privately owned farmland adjacent to the Sunnydale Low Cost Housing for the provision of additional housing units. This land has been identified in view of the close proximity to Bulk Services in King Dinuzulu and because of the high demand for housing in this area.

A full GPS survey was undertaken with the assistance of the Traditional Authority to establish settlement plan insitu.

A Socio economic study was undertaken in conjunction with the GPS survey in conjunction with the GPS survey to establish the profile of the potential beneficiaries for the housing project as required by policy.

A preliminary engineering investigation was undertaken to establish the existence of services in the area and the Authorities responsible for the established and maintenance of these services.

Due to the fact that the Institutional Subsidy Mechanism was considered to be the only viable mechanism for development in the Ingonyama Trust areas until higher order political issues had been resolved, this subsidy mechanism was fully workshopped with the Traditional Authority.

9.0 INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PROJECTS

The main aim of developing municipal IDPs is to ensure coordinated an integrated development. IDPs seek to ensure that municipal projects are coordinated and support each other. uMlalazi IDP identifies five main development sectors, namely, Infrastructure Local Economic Development Social needs Environmental Management Institutional Development and Finance

The IDP also contains Sector Plans although they are (fully or partially) developed. These Sector Plans are: Water Services Development Plan HIV/AIDS Sector Plan Integrated Transportation Plan Disaster Management Plan Electricity Sector Plan Performance Management System and Institutional Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Plan Local Economic Development Plan Housing Strategy

The above-mentioned plans are part of the IDP document. This Housing Sector Plan will be developed as a separate document, although it will still form part of the IDP. Therefore it is important that the development projects emanating from the IDP development sectors and the sector plans should be able to link and support each other. Coordination structures should be set up to coordinate and integrate the implementation of these projects from implementation to execution. The Municipality (Housing Division) should use the Housing Sector Plan to influence the development activities of the following institutions: TABLE 6: Government Departments affected by Housing Developments INSTITUTION SERVICES Department of Health Clinics, Hospitals Department of Education Schools Department of Social Welfare Welfare Institutions, Crèches Department of Sports, Arts and Culture Sport fields and Recreational Facilities Department of Transport Roads, Public transport Department of Environmental Affairs Protection of the Environment Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (UThungulu DC)

Water, Sanitation and environmental protection

Department of Safety and Security Police stations or Satellite police stations Eskom Electricity Telkom Telephones Financial Institutions Home Loans Local and Foreign Donors Funding Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs

It is most important that in the process of planning and implementing housing projects, the Municipality should make broad contacts with the above institutions in order to encourage them to render the much needed services mentioned above.

10.0 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

Development strategies provide the most practical way of providing a solution to the identified priority or problems issues. There is a link between problems and the desired housing development objectives. To enable the best choice of solution each development strategy and its connected project will have to be guided by the guiding principles, enshrine in the housing policy and legislation. Each strategy will also have to be harmonious with the housing strategies, projects and targets of the Provincial Housing Development Plan as well as complement the IDP. In addition a Housing vision and measurable objectives need to be formulated in order to inform the strategies.

10.1 National and Provincial Housing Policy and Programmes

The housing policy, legislation and programmes derive their foundation from the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996). The Constitution states that:

Everyone has a right to have access to adequate housing The state must take reasonable legislative and other measures within its

available resources to achieve the progressive realisation of this right, and No one may be evicted from their homes, or have their homes demolished,

without an order of court made after considering all the relevant circumstances.

The Housing Code is the overall housing policy that guides housing activities in South Africa. It is the single main document that contains the housing policy, legislation and programmes.

10.2 Guiding Housing Principles

The Housing Code and the Housing Act including development principles enshrined in the Development Facilitation Act, No 67 of 1995 provide broad guiding principles for housing development within the municipal area. The following guiding principles shall guide housing development within the uMlalazi Local Municipality.

Housing development should be based on Integrated Development Planning Housing development should be prioritised to the poorest of the poor Housing development should provide a wider choice with regard to type of

house, materials, tenure, etc Housing should be provided closer to employment opportunities Affordable and quality houses should be built Housing development should take measures not harm the environment Housing development should be economically, fiscally, socially, and financially

affordable and sustainable

11.0 SPATIAL REFERENCE FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Map 3 attached hereto shows all the current and planned future housing projects within uMlalazi Municipality. In terms of the location advantages such as accessibility, social services and employment opportunities it is evident from the Spatial Framework that the current and planned Housing Projects identified within the urban areas of are within the Primary Administrative Centre In Eshowe and the Secondary Centre I Gingindlovu. Furthermore the majority of the rural housing projects identified are located on Emerging/Tertiary Centers. Development corridors identified within the Spatial Development Framework (SDF) Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Corridors. These corridors will tend to attract settlements near because of mobility purposes. The R 102 was identified as a corridor, which provides opportunities for development. It offers access to Richards Bay/Empangeni and three Secondary Centres (Gingindlovu, Nqutshini and Mtunzini) are located along this transportation corridor. Therefore because of the mobility advantage that this route offers, development should be encouraged along this corridor. The Spatial Development Framework of the uMlalazi area reflects a variety of land uses that impact on it. There are three urban nodes, within the municipality. Development in these nodes is controlled by means of Town Planning Schemes that help structure development in an orderly manner. The only traditional township in terms of the policy of separate development is King Dinizulu, where development is also controlled in terms of applicable regulations. A broad land use structure indicates that the majority of land in the municipal area is: In the ownership of the Ingonyama Trust (Tribal Land belonging to the Zulu King)

and held in terms of a so-called “permission to occupy” certificate, issued by the relevant tribal authority. There are poor land management practices in these areas and the agricultural potential of the area is not exploited effectively.

Extensive commercial agricultural activities, which dominate in the uMlalazi Area,

where land management is of the highest order in these areas. The uMlalazi Area also features important conservation areas, which are shown on

the Spatial Framework Plan. The Area also has a coastline that can provide considerable attractions in respect of tourism and investment. Therefore these areas will require careful management in the unfolding of the development patterns such as Housing.

Settlements that have emerged as a result of population growth along major

transportation routes.

According to the IDP future housing development in uMlalazi Local Municipality should be prioritized in the rural areas in order to address the high number of lack of adequate housing in these areas. Therefore it is critically important that the identified areas are accessible and are relatively closer to infrastructure services and can make an added impact on the identified development corridors.

There is also an emerging demand for affordable housing in the urban areas of Eshowe and Gingindlovu which has resulted in the proposed development of two housing projects in Eshowe, one in the area adjacent to the existing industrial area and the other in the Sunnydale area. The two projects are expected to provide approximately 1180 housing units as an immediate relief of the current demand. Another issue to be dealt with is the illegal occupation of land (Land Invasion) by squatters in King Dinizulu near Eshowe and on Erf 76 in Gingindlovu. This has a huge impact on the current housing backlog.

12.0 BROAD GEOTECHNICAL OVERVIEW (Desktop) 12.1 Introduction and Terms of Reference

uMlalazi Municipality (KZ 284) requires a geotechnical assessment of their area of jurisdiction for a housing development. The site investigated is indicated on the Locality Plan, Map 1.

As a desktop study, the investigation is broadly based on typical geotechnical characteristics of the bedrock geology of the area which include:

the NHBRC site classification; construction types; typical foundation design and building procedures.

The foundation design, building procedures and precautionary measures are applicable for light, single storey residential structures with foundation pressures not exceeding 50 KPa and are founded upon horizons that are subject to consolidation and collapse settlement as well as with movements associated with active foundation materials.

The report comprises two volumes with Volume 1 the text and Volume 2 the drawings.

12.2 Sources of Information

The geological maps, sheet 2830 Dundee and sheet 2930 Durban to a scale of 1: 250 000 were consulted.

12.3 Site Soils and Geology

The area covered by KZ 284 is underlain by rocks which range in age from Swazian to Recent, including portions of two major Pre-Cambrian tectonic provinces, viz., the Archean Kaapvaal Province and the Late Proterozoic Natal Structural and Metamorphic Province. Bedrock in KZ 284’s area of jurisdiction varies from Quaternary coastal, lacustrine and riverine deposits to formations of the Karoo Sequence, separated from the older Natal Group sandstone by a broad band of north-easterly striking Natal Structural and Metamorphic Province schists and gneisses.

Dolerite intrusions present as dykes and sills are prominent in the easterly portion of KZ 284, especially in the sediments of the younger formations of the Karoo Sequence.

Quaternary alluvial deposits more than 5m thick comprising boulders, gravel, sand, silt and clay are evident along the perennial Mhlathuze River in the north and the Tugela River and it’s tributaries in the west and south-west – both of these drainage courses forming natural boundaries with adjacent Nkandla, Ntambana, Mthonjaneni and Mapumulu municipalities.

Previous experience in the area recorded a variety of soils derived from the in situ decomposition of the sedimentary, intrusive and metamorphosed bedrock types encountered in the KZ 284 area. Although broadly based, the following generalized geotechnical aspects are associated with these soils.

Bedrock types Typical geotechnical aspects of

weathered products Recent deposits Compressible and active soils Dolerite Low, medium and highly active clays Vryheid Formation Compressible silty sand Natal group sandstone Compressible silty sand Pre-Cambrian granitoids and metamorphics and Randium quartzites and shales

Compressible and collapsible sandy soils

Swazian granites Collapsible and compressible soils 12.4 Physiography

There is a great variation in the physiography of the area with the easterly coastal parts characterized by relatively accessible open grassland interspersed with dense reverie woodlands, separated from typical northerly bushland by the Ongoye mountain range. Deeply incised gorges and a country side with a steep, broken relief and densely bushed prevail in the westerly portion near the Tugela Basin, characterized by Pre-Cambrian granitoids and metamorphic rocks. Most parts of the area are intensively cultivated with sugar cane and forestry, with the broken, densely bushed countryside where pastoral farming is practiced by the local inhabitants. The northern part of KZ 284 is drained by the Mhlathuze River system with the western part by the Tugela River and the central sections by the Nyoni, Amatikulu, Mlalazi Rivers and their tributaries. The varying but fairly sharp relief of KZ 284 was analyzed. Areas with slopes >14º deemed to steep for housing development were delineated and are indicated on Figure 3. These steep areas together with KZ 284’s relief are presented on Figure 4.

12.5 Development Conclusions

The proposed housing development within KZ 284’s area of jurisdiction is largely dependant on the physiography of the area which governs the deployment and subsequent development of the infra structure. Based on typical geotechnical characteristics of residual materials derived from in situ decomposed bedrock and transported soils of various origin, KZ 284 has been zoned into various development

13.0 KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS (S.W.O.T Analysis)

The following issues were identified through a literature review undertaken as part of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) currently being prepared by the Municipality.

13.1 Strengths

12.1.1 Social

The beauty and ambiance with particular reference to the coastal value, the lagoon and the activities of the conservancies in the area is an asset, which has considerable impact on the tourism potential of the area. This is supported by the strong ties between the local and district municipality, which assists in tourism development and promotion. The fact that Eshowe has a conservancy and that the Mtunzini was the first town to be declared a conservancy makes a large contribution to the ambiance of the municipality and greatly contributes to the areas tourism potential.

The municipality has a large focus on social and community based projects. This is demonstrated in the vision, particularly the focus in the vision on community and service delivery.

uMLALAZI MUNICIPALITY: MUNICIPAL HOUSING SECTOR PLAN REPORT

Udidi, Pietermaritzburg C:\athando\reports\Uml 936\2ND draft rep. doc NOVEMBER 2006

47

13.1.2 Economic The area has good agricultural potential, the agricultural potential of the

municipality is indicated on the Land Potential Map. The indigenous ecosystems provide habitat for medicinal plants a rich resource for

homeopathic and traditional medicine. These areas include all areas indicated as grassland and indigenous bush in the land use mapping.

As described above the area has a large tourism potential and provides a coastal and lagoon experience as well as pretty towns that attract tourists and residents that choose to reside in Mtunzini and commute with Richards Bay and Empangeni.

The municipality has a large unskilled labour supply that will be very attractive for any industry that should choose to invest in the area.

The municipality has good access to trade routes via the N2 however access to the N2 can be problematic from the inland areas of the municipality.

13.1.3 Biophysical The municipality has a very strong conservation feel exhibited by the protected

areas such as the uMlalazi Nature Reserve, and the two conservancies in Mtunzini and Eshowe.

The municipality has high value ecosystem goods and services as a result of the area’s indigenous forests and grasslands. These include recycling of water and nutrients, provision of habitat and medicinal plants among many others.

The regions Scenic public open space provides many of the goods and services as well as contributing to the regions tourism potential.

While the municipality already has two conservancies and the uMlalazi Nature Reserve there is potential to increase these conservation areas and therefore further improve tourism potential and biodiversity service delivery.

13.2 Weaknesses

12.2.1 Social Alignment of Provincial, District and Local planning has been identified as key for

all areas of the province, it has been indicated that there are strong ties between the local and district municipalities, there is still however still work and much communication required to resolve problems with alignment particularly between local municipalities. Further the communication within the municipality needs to be improved. This should focus on the formulation of ward committees and their involvement in the municipal planning process.

The waste disposal site in the municipality is not formalised and as such could pose some serious health risks to the residents.

Due to the size of the municipality and the low density of the population service delivery is problematic. Communities have become dissatisfied with the IDP process as a result of problems with service delivery that are usually associated with problems with non performance of service providers who do not perceive the municipality as a high impact municipality.

13.2.2 Economic Poverty and unemployment is a problem throughout the country however it is

particularly problematic in rural areas. As much of the municipality is rural the uMlalazi municipality has higher levels of unemployment. Further much of the population is not within the employable age which exacerbates the problem and limits the measures that can be used to alleviate poverty levels. Poverty usually manifests in poor living conditions and as such the identification of these areas may aid in identification of areas in need of poverty relief.

The lack of a tourism skills base and capital investment for tourism development and promotion has limited the municipalities ability to realize it’s tourism potential.

Market access both for farmers to markets and for tourists is quite poor in the rural areas inland from the N2. This limits the realisation of areas agricultural and tourism potential.

Due to the rural nature of the municipality and the migration of labour much of the income generated within the municipality is spent elsewhere particularly in the urban areas such as Durban, Richards Bay and Empangeni.

13.2.3 Biophysical The Municipal IDP currently has no environmental Chapter and as such the

biophysical constraints on development are sorely lacking in the municipal planning process. This links to the fact that the vision for the municipality does not reflect any environmental considerations.

Littering is a problem in the more urban areas, and has both impacts on ecological, animal and human health and aesthetic impacts that have large consequences for the tourism potential of the area.

Degradation of wetlands as a result of cultivation and artificial drainage, river nitrification, dams, urbanisation, soil erosion and alien plant invasion will have far reaching consequences for ecological function and water quality. Refer to the Wetland Map for their distribution. This is particularly problematic where cultivation takes place inside or net to wetlands and rivers.

Informal housing specifically on the banks of rivers and near major roads is a weakness that must be addressed. Informal housing has large biophysical and social impacts namely water pollution due to a lack of water or sanitation, aesthetic impacts, poor land management and health and safety issues.

13.3 Opportunities

12.3.1 Social

Social upliftment as a result of economic growth is an expected positive spin off. Economic growth is expected mainly in the coastal areas as a result of increased tourism interest. Agri-industry opportunities also exist inland associated with agricultural produced such as sugar cane. Care should however be taken to strategically determine nodes for various types of development. This will help the preservation of the holiday atmosphere of the tourist and residential nodes and

enable efficient service delivery to the various tourism, residential, agricultural an industrial nodes.

Provision of housing and basic services, particularly in the rural areas, including the identification of areas with potential for housing development and the formalisation of current informal or overcrowded settlements with housing, sanitation and stormwater drainage.

Through increasing awareness of planning documents and procedures in the municipality, integrated development will be encouraged and community capacity increased to enable the communities to realise development opportunities in their areas.

13.3.2 Economic New legislation that allows for the rating of areas that previously where the

responsibility of province provides a unique economic opportunity for the municipality that will enable to provide better services in these areas.

As mentioned above the municipality has a large capacity for tourism and agricultural industry.

N2 Access runs through the study area and provides a tourism and agricultural produce corridor but this opportunity is limited by the other roads further inland.

Economic growth through integrated development that fits with municipal spatial planning objectives will uplift the economic environment without encouraging piece-meal development.

Optimisation of the tourism potential of the region, through sustainable development and association with the district tourism promotion, will highlight the environmental and tourism assets of the area and aid in poverty alleviation. Tourism signage will play a large role in the realisation of the municipality’s tourism potential.

Non-industrial labour intensive recycling of waste is an opportunity throughout the municipality; reclamation from waste dumps pose health and safety risks and therefore should not be encouraged.

13.3.3 Biophysical The amenity of the municipality is critical to its appeal as a tourist destination. An

open space system will help to ensure the maintenance of the amenity of the municipality. To ensure linkages and the added benefit of improving biodiversity goods and services, the plan should focus on catchments and rivers as well as entry points to the area in terms of amenity. This should look at the existing areas and work of the conservancies as well as the existing protected area.

A Land Use Management System for the municipality is critical to ensure sustainable well planned development that will not jeopardise the amenity and atmosphere of the municipality. The Open Space System as discussed above should be incorporated into this.

As mentioned above the municipality exhibits some important fauna and flora with conservation significance, educational and tourism value.

As part of the Zulu route the area has large cultural value that can be tapped into for both social upliftment and tourism development.

The municipality like much of the Northern Natal region has warm weather all year round. This results in year round tourism potential and a unique opportunity to attract beach going tourist in the winter months.

13.4 Threats

13.4.1 Social

The perception or categorisation of uMlalazi as a low impact municipality threatens the municipalities ability to effectively provide services.

Due to the lack of formal services in rural areas the municipality has a high prevalence of water borne diseases.

While being a national problem the prevalence of aids in Natal has been shown to be quite alarming. This threatens the economic opportunities of the municipality as it attacks those of employable age and results in many social problems such as child headed homes, a dependence on grant income i.e. pension rather than employment income and can result in exacerbation of other diseases.

Over development of the area due to the large demand for tourism and residential development in the area is a threat to the atmosphere and as such the areas appeal as a tourism destination. Areas of development pressure are mainly along the coastal strip and within Mtunzini town.

Due to the lack of employment opportunities within the municipality and the cutting back of farm worker employment opportunities much of the population is involved in migrant labour. This has many social impacts and results in the demographic anomalies exhibited above such as the high percentage of the population that are not of employable age.

13.4.2 Economic

High illiteracy rates within the municipality limits and limits the population to

unskilled jobs and therefore threatens the economic and earning potential of the residents.

The majority of the municipality has good agricultural potential. Poor ploughing and planting techniques in this area can however result in degradation of the land and as a result a loss in agricultural productivity. Areas of higher land potential include are more resilient but are still susceptible to degradation for specific land potential categorisation refer to Land Potential Map.

Lack of infrastructure maintenance also impacts on the municipality’s aesthetics and as such its atmosphere. This is particularly important along tourist access routes.

Inappropriate development will impact on the aesthetics and amenity of the area and will result in a loss of tourism potential.

13.4.3 Biophysical As a result of the value of biodiversity for the production of high quality water,

monoculture resulting in a loss of both genetic and biodiversity is threat to biodiversity goods and services produced in the area.

51

Alien Vegetation on public and private properties threatens biodiversity. Alien plants also use large amounts of water and over shade the ground preventing undergrowth responsible for soil stabilisation.

Limited understanding of the downstream impact of environmental degradation results in apathy towards environmental offenders. Therefore these offences are allowed to continue with only occasional small penalties. This could threaten many aspects of municipal sustainability in the future.

Subdivision of agricultural land is of concern as small subdivisions have in the past proved to be unsustainable and therefore have an impact on the agricultural potential and economic development of and area. Areas of high tourism development demand such the coastal areas are most threatened.

The use of pit latrines specifically as part of low cost housing development to serve the increasing density of urban development could lead to environmental problems, especially if the sites are provided with individual water connections, as they are often used to dispose of grey water, which can have implications for both health standards and water quality.

The migration of Biodiversity up and down altitudinal gradients is a critical part of the survival of species during global climatic events. Monoculture has created islands of biodiversity in the Municipality, which inhibit the ability of ecosystems to adapt and migrate.

Lack of rehabilitation in some areas has been identified as being a problem. In some instances such in the case of mining requirements for rehabilitation have now been enacted however; there are still areas that are in need of attention.

14.0 MUNICIPAL HOUSING INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

The Municipal Orgnisational Structure contained in the Municipal IDP is effected by the Municipal Manager and provides for five municipal departments. Namely: Corporate Services, Financial Services, Community Services, Protection Service and Engineering Services. Refer to Figure 1 for Municipal Organogram.

The new local government regime allows greater involvement of municipal councilors in running of municipalities hence on the political aspect the council is represented by the Mayor, the Executive Committee and the Council.

Housing Functions are provided for under the Manager Corporate Services the Housing department has an Assistant Manager who supervises the Housing Officer as well as the administrative staff. Refer to Corporate Services Organogram Figure 2. Furthermore, the main functions of the Housing Division are to undertake the following:

15.1.1 The cost structure of the adjusted subsidy amount

The revised detailed cost breakdown of the product price is provided in Annexure A and replaces the existing breakdown and must be used as a guide to evaluate tenders for projects received on or after 1 April 2006. The revised detailed cost structure of the subsidy amount illustrates the composition of the cost structure of a serviced stand and the construction cost of a 30m² house. The revised cost of a serviced stand amounts to R15 029,00 while the cost of constructing a 30m² house amounts to R21 499, 00. Therefore the new total product price is R36 528,00.

15.1.2 Variations of the subsidy amount

For the purposes of calculating the variation amount to cater for extraordinary development conditions, the total product price of R36 528,00 must be used. For example, in exceptional severe developmental conditions, where the maximum variation of 15% is required to provide for the professionally recommended engineering services and/or precautionary measures, the revised maximum variation amount will be up to 15% of R36 528,00, i.e. R5 479,20. The total product price in such severe instances, where the variation is applicable, will therefore amount to R42 007,20 (R36 528,00+ R5 479,20). In the Southern Cape Coastal Condensation Area, the additional amount of R3

900,00 may be added to the R42 007,20 that will bring the product price to R45 907,20 in those areas. In addition, the disability variation amounts could also be applied and this would further increase the product price.

15.1.3 Emergency Programme The grant amounts available in terms of the Emergency Programme have been increased from R26 874,00 to R31 952,00. The detailed product price cost breakdown for the 2005/06 financial year, in respect of the Emergency Programme, is also attached as Annexure B.

15.1.4 Informal Settlement Upgrading Programme The grants available under the Informal Settlement Upgrading Programme have also been adjusted in line with the Housing: MINMEC approved formula and the adjusted amounts are indicated in Annexure C.

16.0 CONCLUDING REMARKS

This Housing Development Sector Plan will form the basis of monitoring and evaluation to ensure the effective implementation process. Furthermore the success of this Housing Sector Plan will depend on the realization of the targets/objectives and the indicators will serve as the yard stick to measure progress. This Plan should be reviewed on an annual basis so as to accommodate housing development changes. The Municipal housing coordinator / officer should be accountable for the administrative implementation of the Housing Sector Plan as well as reporting back to council. The Municipal Manager should ensure that the Municipal Housing Sector Plan is reviewed annually to accommodate changes in Housing Development together with the Municipal IDP.

Procedure for Housing Fund Application The process for the application of subsidies to the Department of Housing is described in the National Housing Code: March 2000. Basically the process depends on the type of development: Urban or Rural. Applications for Urban Developments will follow the Chapter 3 of the National Housing Coded and the schemes will be called “Project Linked Subsidies”. Applications for Rural Schemes, which in KwaZulu Natal are those mostly, developed on Ingonyama Trust Land, will follow Chapter 11 of the National Housing Code. A brief description is given hereunder:

i) Urban Projects These projects are described as Greenfields Development and comprise projects undertaken in area where unoccupied land is developed as part of a new township, or a project that is undertaken in an existing township where an undeveloped parcel of land is utilised for development purposes. The framework for the application of Project Linked subsidies is detailed in Annexure B of Chapter 3 of the National Housing Code, a copy of which is attached hereto. The process can follow this schedule:

o Project Preparation Funding Application o Conditional Approval Application o Tranche 1 o Tranche 2 o Tranche 3 ii) Rural Projects

Rural Subsidies have been introduced to cater for individuals who enjoy functional security of tenure as opposed to legal security of tenure. Beneficiaries must still however comply with the other qualification criteria, set out in Part 3, Chapter 2. The process is similar to the above process.
