MEC FOREWORD FOREWORD TO THE FIVE-YEAR COGTA STRATEGIC PLAN BY HONOURABLE NOMUSA DUBE-NCUBE, MEC FOR COOPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL AFFAIRS I am pleased to introduce the strategic plan document for the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect, guide and direct its unique mandate over the next five years. It is a blueprint that defines our strategic path in our pursuit of a radical developmental agenda which derives from the now sixty-year old Freedom Charter and

One author once said that “planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now”. With this strategic plan document we aim to bring the future into the present and we are doing something about it now. We are convinced that, working together with our stakeholders and working with vigour and tenacity, we will succeed. The programme of action contained in this plan is informed by our new bible of action in the sphere of local governance, commonly known as the Back to Basics programme. Through the Back to Basics initiative we will seek to: Put the people and their concerns first and ensure constant contact with communities

through effective public participation platforms; Create conditions for decent living by consistently delivering municipal services to the

right quality and standard. This includes planning for and delivering infrastructure and amenities, maintenance and upkeep;

Ensure no failures in services and where there are failures, restore services with urgency;

Ensure well governed municipalities that demonstrate good governance and administration cut wastage, spend public funds prudently, hire competent staff, and promote transparency and accountability;

Ensure prudent management of resources so as to sustainably deliver services and bring development to communities; and

Build and maintain sound institutional and administrative capabilities, administered and managed by dedicated and skilled personnel at all levels.

These priorities that will guide the delivery targets of the department in the next five years are a clear indication that our uninterrupted march towards a united, democratic, non- sexist, non-racial and prosperous society, as envisioned in the Freedom Charter, is, indeed, on course.

This plan presents a paradigm shift and a breakaway from the traditional way of doing things. It ushers in a period of accelerated change and heightened service delivery. In essence, it is putting a sense of urgency in everything we do. It calls on Cogta and its social partners to do things differently with speed and determination in line with our new mandate of cooperative governance. As part of our implementation of the NDP goals, we will seek to ensure that all developments, whether social or economic, do not produce outcomes that reinforce the marginalisation of our people, informed by the wise counsel of Amilcar Cabral who said that “the people are not fighting for ideas, for things in anyone’s head. They are fighting to win the material benefits, to live better and in peace, to see their lives go forward, to guarantee the future of their children”. We will ensure that the NDP is turned into a living document by our municipalities and traditional leaders so that the lives of our people can move forward and the future of their children is guaranteed. In this country, we are still living in a divided society characterised by the poor, marginalised townships, informal settlements and rural population on the one hand, and the affluent, rich and urban population on the other. This state of affairs is discomforting and reminds us of the mammoth task ahead for the bridging of this divide. Through its radical spatial development agenda, Cogtconditions for everyone to realise their potential in life regardless of their background or residence. The development opportunities will be harnessed and made available to all with a deliberate bias towards the remote, rural and previously neglected. The 2014 electoral mandate from the majority of our people presupposes a new approach to the societal challenges facing our country today. It calls for responsive, effective and efficient state machinery to the needs of the poor. It is therefore, within this context, that the strategic thrust of Cogta is repositioned and recontextualised. For this enormous task, we need reliable civil service machinery ready to intervene whenever the need arises. We will therefore ensure that governance systems are streamlined and utilised as a vehicle to

We will ensure appropriate capacity administrative, technical and financial both in our own ranks and in all our municipalities. We will also create a platform that encourages co-ordination and elimination of duplication. Synergies will be leveraged for improved efficiency. Corruption and underperformance will become history, with all wrongdoing met with harsh consequences. We intend distinguishing ourselves by deploying only those employees who have a passion to serve and whose interests remain indebted to those of the communities they serve. With regard to the Institution of Traditional Leadership the five strategic focus areas will be:

Stabilisation and strengthening of Traditional Leadership Promotion of cultural and customary way of life which conforms to the Bill of Rights,

Constitutional and democratic principles Implementation of policies, legislation and regulations towards transformation and

regulations of the sector.

Coordinate interfaith to promote social cohesion and nation building Revive and activate support of traditional institutions to promote socio-economic

program In line with the 2014 manifesto of the ruling party, our government has resolved to deepen its base and root itself amongst the poor and working class masses of this country. In doing so, deliberate interventions will be spearheaded in all spheres of government in order to stay focused on the common national agenda of creating decent jobs, fighting poverty, combating crime and corruption, improving the delivery of quality services to all, and advancing rural development, agrarian reform and food security. We at Cogta promise to be a catalyst in ensuring that these initiatives are felt on the ground and become a reality in the local communities by the close of the five-year span of this Strategic Plan. The success of any plan lies in its execution. We will vigorously guard against any execution deficit as we roll-out the plans encapsulated in this document. While performance indicators and timelines will help guide the administrative process of monitoring and evaluating our efforts, it is ultimately about how swiftly and effectively we improve people’s lives through service delivery that will help us to gauge the impact of our plan. We have no doubt that this plan as well as those tasked with job of executing it will rise to the occasion to fulfil the promise held by this new era of radical socio-economic transformation. With this five-year plan we aim to bring the future into the present and we are doing something about it now. We are convinced that, working together with all our stakeholders, we will succeed.

(q) KwaZulu-Natal Traditional Leadership and Governance Act, 2005 (Act No. 5 of 2005)

(r) Fire Brigade Services Act, 1987 (Act No. 99 of 1987) 4.3. Policy Mandates

Policy mandates have in the past created the parameters within which laws have been developed. For example, the White Paper on Developmental Local Government created the policy environment for the development of the Municipal Structures, Systems, Financial Management and Intergovernmental Relations Acts. Policy mandates are also associated with policy pronouncements such as: the National Development Plan (NDP), Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) and the Provincial Growth and Development Plan (PGDP) which then enhance the mandate for Co-operative Governance.

4.3.1. Freedom Charter, 1955

The Freedom Charter is a document that the Congress of the People adopted in 1955 as to what would be a picture of a free South Africa. The Freedom Charter declares that ''South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white, and no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of all the people" (Freedom Charter, 1955: 1). The will of all people is at the centre, and forms a base for this document. The core principles of the Freedom Charter find manifestation in the SA Constitution. The key opening demand for the people shall gover nd women off all races, sex and colour have a right to vote, and can stand as a candidate for all bodies which make law and are entitled to be part of the administration of the country. Indeed, as COGTA we have witnessed that our government is elected regularly through transparent, free and fair elections as a prerequisite of our democracy demanded by the Freedom Charter. Every South African has the right to elect a government of his or her own choice. Regardless of race, the charter also calls for full equal rights for all citizens including human rights; common ownership of land and industry; equality before law; right to housing, security and comfort; jobs and security; fully-funded education for children and greater access to higher education. The Freedom Charter remains the platform and vision for South African policies, strategic thinking and aspirations that South Africa seeks to achieve. On the Statement of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the African National Congress, President Jacob Zuma defines National Development Plan (NDP) as an overarching plan and a vision to realise the ideals of the Freedom Charter to put in

place a South Africa that belongs to all who live in it (Statement of the NEC of the ANC, 2015: 3). This means that the NDP is our long term vision to attain the objectives of the Freedom Charter.

26 June 2015 marks the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the Freedom Charter. While there has been huge progress, there is still a lot to be done for our people in giving effect to the ideals envisaged by the Freedom Charter. Our role as COGTA is to co-ordinate, lead Integrated Provincial Service Delivery; support ward based

Page 12: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

11 | P a g e

planning; and strengthen Local Government to ensure that it has the necessary capacity to decently house people whilst providing other necessary services such as transport, roads, lighting, playing fields, creches and social centres called for by the Freedom Charter. The Department will also work towards improving consultation, communication and feedback in municipalities and Traditional Councils.

4.3.2. National Development Plan and Medium Term Strategic Framework

The National Development Plan is a plan for South Africa and provides a broad strategic framework to guide key choices and actions in order to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality and unemployment by 2030. The NDP approach draws extensively on the notion of capabilities, active citizenry and inclusive economy, enhancing the capacity of the state, and promoting leadership and partnerships throughout society. As with the Freedom Charter, NDP calls on our people to be part of an active citizenry and to take greater collective responsibility for their own development.

Chapter 4 of the NDP: Economic Infrastructure stipulates that in order for the country to support the long term economic objectives and development goals, South Africa needs to extensively invest in basic services such as electricity, water, sanitation, telecommunications and public transport. The challenge is to maintain and expand the provision of basic services in order to address the demands of the growing economy. Our role as COGTA includes providing support to municipalities in the provision of new infrastructure, as well as operational, maintenance and upgrade of existing infrastructure. In addition, COGTA will strengthen the capacity of municipalities to efficiently deliver infrastructure services to the required standard.

According to Chapter 5 of the NDP: Environmental Sustainability and Resilience, developmental challenges must be addressed in a manner that ensures environmental sustainability and builds resilience to the effects of climate change, particularly in poorer communities (NDP, 2011: 197). To this effect, adaptation strategies in conjunction with national development strategies should be implemented, including disaster preparedness, investment in more sustainable technologies and programmes to conserve and rehabilitate ecosystems and biodiversity assets. Consequently, the strategic objective of KZN COGTA is to increase adaptation to Climate Change impacts and improve Disaster Management by identifying and putting into effect appropriate policies and measures. Chapter 6 of the NDP: An Integrated and Inclusive Rural Economy states that by 2030 South African rural communities must have better opportunities to fully participate in the economic, social and political life of the country. Our people will only achieve this through access to high-quality basic services which will enable

Page 13: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

12 | P a g e

them to seek economic opportunities. COGTA acknowledges the challenges at municipalities and it is then our priority to implement the Back to Basics programme and ensure that all municipalities move from a dysfunctional to functional state.

One of the key objectives of the NDP is to ensure a transformed Human Settlement (Chapter 8). To have a strong and efficient spatial planning system well integrated across the spheres of government. Among other things this will require:

Reforms to the current planning system for improved co-ordination; Develop a strategy for densification of cities and resource allocation to promote

better located housing and settlements; Introduce spatial development framework and norms, including improving the

balance between location of jobs and people; and Provide incentives for citizen activity for local planning and development of

spatial compacts.

Chapter 13 of the NDP: Building a Capable and Developmental State places emphasis on building a capable state to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality and unemployment by 2030. Our determination is to ensure that Local Government has committed people with appropriate skills and is capable of being transformative and developmental state to achieve NDP goals. Building a capable state necessitates the following: Stabilisation of the political administrative interface; Making the public service and local government careers of choice; Development of technical and specialist professional skills; Improving relationships between the spheres of government, and Reforming the state owned enterprises.

Chapter 14 of the NDP: Fighting Corruption states that corruption frustrates the ability of operating fairly and efficiently, and hinders the ability to deliver on its development mandate. A corruption country will be realised through:

Enforcement of law, procedures and policies that will ensure that anti-corruption agencies have requisite resources and independence;

Prevention which focuses on the effectiveness of the available systems, institutional arrangements and accountability in the organisation; and

Education in society which is about the society understanding the social dimensions of corruption and reporting it.

Operation Clean Audit, good governance, sound financial management and accountability remain the priority for COGTA. The National Development Plan is the collective future of people of South Africa regardless of gender and race and it is our responsibility to make it work. Chapter 15 of the NDP: Transforming Society and Uniting the Country emphasises that people must unite around a vision of a better South Africa. This

Page 14: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

indicates that citizens have an important role to play in bringing about transformation and holding government accountable for the services they deliver. Participation in Local Governance is a key principle of post-apartheid legislation. White Paper on Local Government (1998) encourages municipalities to find ways of structuring participation to enhance service delivery. COGTA will work towards strengthening the functionality of oversight structures; Ward Based Planning; Ward Committees; improve timeous consultation, communication and feedback in municipalities and Traditional Councils. It will also enhance the participation of Traditional Leaders in municipalities and improve IGR Structures. The MTSF is the short term strategy that gives effect to the NDP. The NDP and MTSF identify the following priorities that are particularly important to improve Local Government performance and ensure quality service delivery: a) Members of society have sustainable and reliable access to basic services.

(Outcome 9: Sub Outcome 1). b) Intergovernmental and democratic governance arrangements for a functional

system of co-operative governance strengthened (Outcome 9: Sub Outcome 2). c) Sound financial and administrative management. (Outcome 9: Sub Outcome 3). d) Promotion of social and economic development. (Outcome 9: Sub Outcome 4) e) Local public employment programmes expanded through the Community

Work Programme. (Outcome 9: Sub Outcome 5).

4.3.3. ANC Manifesto 2014 In line with the NDP, the ANC manifesto aims to move South Africa forward in addressing the challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality over the next five years through: Building an inclusive economy that creates jobs; Transforming rural areas; Ensure decent living conditions and sustainable human settlements; Improve and expand education and training; Ensure quality health care for all; Expand comprehensive social security; Fight corruption and crime; and Build a united nation and promote social cohesion.

Within the context of the Manifesto, the ruling party has pronounced on the following commitments and imperatives of Local Government (ANC Today, 20 February 2015): Implement free basic services for indigent households and support

municipalities where they lack capacity; Guide municipalities to ensure compliance with legislative requirements in

respect of municipal revenue, financial management and sustainability;

Page 15: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

14 | P a g e

Ensure that infrastructure grants are utilised optimally and used for their intended purpose;

Deal with prevalence of corruption; Include Back to Basics document to our commitments (Strategic Plans); Connect and interact with communities, reports back regularly and ensure

public participation; Eradicate the culture of entitlement in our communities; Ensure that Local Government is responsive, accountable, effective and

efficient; and Provide support to poor municipalities so they are able to implement

infrastructure capital and maintenance plans.

4.3.4. Provincial Growth and Development Plan The KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Growth and Development Plan (PGDP) is a comprehensive document that addresses the enormous triple challenge of poverty, inequality and unemployment. is a long-term plan which sets ambitious but achievable targets that will be realised by the year 2030. The PGDP espouses the Provincial vision that: KwaZulu-Natal will be a prosperous Province with a healthy, secure and skilled population, acting as a gateway to Africa and the World. The PGDP is aligned to the National Development Plan.

The Strategic Goals and Objectives of the PGDP are as follows:

4.3.5 National Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs

priorities The priorities of Co-operative Governance are as follows:- Responding vigorously to immediate crises;

There shall be targeted and vigorous response to corruption and fraud, and zero tolerance.

Going back to basics; After the classification of municipalities into three categories namely: doing well, middle path and dysfunctional, the municipalities will be supported to ensure effective public participation; good governance and accountability; sound financial management; sound institutional and administrative capabilities; and deliver basic services.

Continuing to build resilient local government institutions; As per NDP, in order to achieve transformation, it is the role of Co-operative Governance to ensure that municipalities are functional in order to create safe, healthy, and economically sustainable areas where citizens and people can work, live and socialise. Municipalities will be supported to progress to the higher path.

Understanding and responding to structural challenges; The functionality and viability of municipalities indicate that the boundaries of a number of municipalities should be re-determined to ensure a transformed human settlement (Chapter 8 of the NDP). Also, the Integrated Urban Development Framework will guide the development of inclusive, resilient and liveable urban settlements.

Improving intergovernmental systems. COGTA acknowledges the significant role that all three spheres of government have to play in ensuring well-functioning municipalities. One of the priorities

Page 17: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

16 | P a g e

of COGTA Ministry during this medium term is to harmonize the relations between the municipalities and the Traditional Institution, as part of implementing the Back to Basics Approach. In keeping with this approach the municipal and traditional structures will establish strong collaborative working relationships to create decent living conditions. Existing intergovernmental platforms will be used to monitor and review progress of service delivery.

Traditional Affairs has identified the following five priorities over the medium term period:

Stabilisation and strengthening of Traditional Leadership; Promotion of cultural and customary way of life which conforms to the Bill of

Rights, Constitutional and democratic principles; Implementation of policies, legislation and regulations towards transformation

and regulation of the sector; Coordinate interfaith to promote social cohesion and nation building; and Revive and activate support of Traditional Institution to promote socio-

economic programmes 4.3.6 Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF) The Integrated Urban Development Framework is the policy framework which aims

to guide the development of inclusive, resilient and liveable urban settlements, whilst addressing the unique conditions and challenges facing South African cities and towns. The vision of the policy Liveable, safe, resource-efficient cities and towns that are socially integrated, economically inclusive and globally competitive, where

(UIDF, 2014: 6).

The rationale is that apartheid spatial patterns still persist in our towns and cities and most municipalities cannot deal with these challenges themselves. This policy will assist municipalities to effectively manage urbanisation hence; reduce poverty, unemployment and inequality. The Integrated Urban Development Framework is the policy response to Chapter 8 of the NDP as well as chapter 3, 4, 15 and 13. Below are the seven policy pillars of IUDF: Integrated transport and mobility; Integrated sustainable human settlements; Integrated infrastructure planning; Inclusive economic development; Efficient land governance and management; Empowered active communities; and Effective urban governance.

4.4 Relevant Court rulings.

The Department has no relevant court ruling that have a bearing on service delivery.

5. PRINCIPLES (a) The Strategic Plan needs to be action oriented. This means that the deliverables

giving effect to the Strategic Objectives must be clearly defined, measurable and performance orientated. These deliverables must provide a clear indication of the expected change at community level. This can then be monitored and evaluated in order to track the progress made. The deliverables must further be performance orientated which means that the deliverables must show a movement from the current state to an improved state.

(b) In order for the Strategic Plan to be effectively implemented, the issue of accountability from the top-down needs to be enforced. The Performance Agreements of all staff must be linked to the Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan (APP) of the Department. The process is outlined in the Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Guideline which was adopted by EXCO in March 2014. In addition, the subject of poor performance will need to be dealt with in accordance with the Human Resource (HR) Policy more rigorously.

(c) Issues reflected in the, NDP, MTSF and more particularly the delivery agreement on Outcome 9 need to be applied and contextualised within the provincial context by specifying the Departments commitment to the outputs and targets. COGTA has to play a pivotal role in practically ensuring that national and provincial priorities are aligned with local objectives. It is then expected that the principles proposed have to lead to effective targeting, sequencing, trading off, resourcing and consultation with communities and delivery partners.

(d) The new approach of business unusual and moving to action oriented service delivery, dictates that the implementation of Batho Pele principles (White paper on Transforming Public Service (1997), is of vital importance. This requires an action oriented approach in delivering services which places citizens at the centre of service delivery. The implementation of the Batho Pele principles should not be seen as add-on functions but as integral to our daily planning, implementation and monitoring of service delivery projects.

6. NEW APPROACH FOR COGTA 6.1. Background

Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) and Co-operative Governance are described in the White Paper on Developmental Local Government (1999) as a process of co-operative decision making to coordinate priorities, budgets, policies and activities across sectors, information dissemination and the prevention and resolution of conflicts. This involves harnessing of all public resources behind common goals and within a framework of mutual support; developing a cohesive and multi-sectoral perspective in the interests of the country; co-ordinating activities to avoid wasteful competition and duplication, settling disputes constructively and rationally and clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of government. In line with this, the NDP clearly articulates that Local Government is at the centre of development and to achieve the

Page 19: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

18 | P a g e

aspiration of a transformed and effective Local Government system will require strong leadership and clear direction through a clear and consistent, long-term strategy. This requires a proactive approach to managing the intergovernmental system, in order to address specific weaknesses in coordination and capacity and a differentiated approach in the delivery of services in less well-resourced municipalities.

Further, national and provincial departments and entities impacting on Local Government will have to co-operate better and act with greater synergy in providing oversight and support to the local sphere. Moreover, provincial departments of Local Government will need to improve the way they monitor and support local government.

objectives will also depend on the co-operation from external stakeholders; hence the have been clearly identified.

6.2. The Approach for COGTA (a) While a lot has been done and the Province being a better place than before, Local

Government is still faced with problems and our people are dissatisfied. The situation needs a change of paradigm that focuses on serving the people at the most basic level. It is the priority of this current government that th asics

overnment and Traditional Affairs be enforced vigorously. The number one priority is to ensure that all dysfunctional municipalities become functional. Going back to basics means municipalities will begin with providing a basket of services; clear policies and frameworks; sound financial management; responsive administration; functional municipal council structures and oversight bodies; have and attract competent and capable people; and regular community involvement and participation including traditional leadership. The strategy emphasises enforcement of legislation and regulation.

(b) It is within this context that a fundamental paradigm shift is needed in KZN COGTA to move from the current approach of providing usual support and building capacity to municipalities and take its solid role of co-operative governance. The Department would need to have a strong role in coordinating sector departments and municipalities in order to direct service delivery in the Province. This includes development and maintenance of strategic partnerships with the private sector. This would require a strengthening of IGR capacity in the Province and coordinating the IDPs so that they encapsulate the municipal priorities, projects and budget in a coordinated manner that responds to the PGDP priorities.

(c) In order for COGTA to deliver on its mandate there needs to be acknowledgement and commitment for internal integration and co-ordination within the Department. The Department needs to adopt a less hierarchical approach to coordination. High level co-ordination is needed on strategic issues between branches, chief directorates and directorates to facilitate a holistic approach for implementation needs.

(d) It has been recognised that while municipalities are supported by different stakeholders, the impact of such support is most often not yielding the required

Page 20: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

19 | P a g e

benefits. Part of the challenge is that such support is not coordinated. In order to address this, the Department, in terms of output 7 of outcome 9, needs to drive the coordination of support and capacity building aimed at municipalities. The Department needs to develop a long-term strategy on capacity building. This strategy will need to be done in conjunction with all stakeholders involved in capacity building in municipalities. Capacity building needs to be treated as an ongoing process both internally and externally to deliver on basic services.

(e) A

(f) The severe lack of a co-ordinated approach in managing and reporting on municipal

performance information is an aspect that is overdue. Going forward, as a key strategic issue, this matter will need to be addressed and there must be a coordinated and functional municipal performance measurement and reporting tool operating in the Department.

6.3. Key Success Factors to implementation (a) Management needs to be clear and decisive in their direction. This means that

Management in the Department needs to internalise their work in line with the legislative mandate of co-operative governance. Management would also need to have a clear concept upfront of how they will undertake their functions over the next five years in order to give effect to their mandate.

(b) Buy-in into this new approach is critical. Buy-in will need to occur in two parts namely:

Buy-in from the Senior Management in the Department. This must be seen as a process and involve change management.

Buy-in from the Departments clients, municipalities and Traditional Institutions is important as well as the recognition from National and Provincial Departments to understand the Department s mandate with regard to co-operative governance. A process to communicate this approach to the clients will need to be undertaken. The Strategic Plan will also need to be presented to Cabinet to concretise this.

(c) COGTA shall strengthen the alignment and integration of National MTSF, delivery outcomes, NDP, PGDP with Local Government deliverables, IDP and SDBIP. There also needs to be a clear link between the Strategic Plan, APP and Performance Agreements within the Department in order to ensure accountability.

(d) The Department shall develop and maintain strategic partnerships with provincial departments and the private sector.

7. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS 7.1. Performance Delivery Environment

(a) Local Governance

governance, transformation of life and living condi(COGTA National Assembly, 2014). This indicates that Local Government should be capable to deliver on development and transformation. At the same time capability and poor performance in municipalities is a serious concern which requires strategic interventions. This has been proven by the number of service delivery protests that are taking place in our communities. Some of the key challenges experienced include: Lack of response to service delivery challenges by municipalities; Inadequate public participation and dysfunctional ward committees; Poor financial viability of municipalities and its impact on service delivery; Lack of skilled staff at municipal level; and High level of fraud and corruption within local government.

As per NDP, meeting the transformation agenda for Local Government requires a much higher and more focused intergovernmental commitment towards the creation of more functional municipalities and capable machinery at a local level. In responding to these challenges, the Department supports the implementation of the Back to Basic programme which reminds us that our people come first. The priority for CoGTA on Back to Basics is to get all 26 identified municipalities out of a dysfunctional state; support all municipalities on the middle path to progress to the top path and stay there; and support and incentivise all municipalities on the top path to remain there. The following pillars are the priorities of Local Government and are the thrust of Back to Basics: Good Governance; Institutional Capacity; Financial Management; Public Participation; and Basic Services.

In assisting the municipalities in progressing from one level to another, COGTA will focus on the above pillars as the entry point. In terms of governance, municipalities will be supported to have functional municipal structures. The Department will intensify and support councils meetings where there is evidence of dysfunctionality, and facilitate political engagements to manage political tensions. All oversight committees shall be in place and be able to perform their duties without any interference. Support to municipalities in key areas of institutional management and development is important. Support will be provided in filling the vacant posts with competent staff; develop a plan to attract scarce skills in rural areas and explore shared services at a district level in respect of scarce skills; and implement and manage a performance

Page 22: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

21 | P a g e

management system. Capacity building and enhancing the capability of councillors and municipal officials to perform their functions will be promoted in order to sustain stability in Local Government. Operation Clean Audit remains a key programme in ensuring that all municipalities display good financial management and accountability. COGTA will support municipalities in implementing procurement plans; revenue raising strategies; debt collection; developing and implementing Audit and post Audit action plans and act decisively against fraud and corruption. The Department will also focus on revenue management and enhancement through support in the second cycle of general valuation rolls in preparation by municipalities in terms of the Municipal Property Rates Act. In order to ensure that the communities are effectively engaged, the functionality of Ward Committees and War Rooms will remain the priority for the Department. Support programmes will be provided through the establishment of community based structures and support in the development of community participation plans. These programmes aim to strengthen public participation and enhance governance, accountability and service delivery. In addition, supporting inter-governmental relations and improving co-ordination within Local Government across spheres of government and amongst stakeholders will be a key focus of the plan in order to enhance effectiveness of Local Government as the sphere of government close to the communities. Managing inter-governmental relations in different spheres is one of the key pillars of this Strategic Plan and certainly the role of co-operative governance. (b) Development and Planning The KZN Province is positioning itself as a gateway to Africa and the world. This will require practical interventions in the use of provincial human and natural resources to create a safe, healthy and sustainable living environment. Development and Planning is critical in addressing abject poverty, inequality, unemployment and lack of basic services. The provincial vision stipulates that people shall have options on where and how they opt to live, work and play. The recent Summits on Regional and Local Economic Development has called for a concerted effort by all stakeholders to work together to determine the economic growth trajectory in the local spaces and reduce inequality and poverty. The recent world economic crisis has resulted in the need to implement interventions that suit specific regional dynamics informed by local needs. This therefore means municipalities have a bigger role to play in determining what works for their Regions to reduce migration of skills and money to other regions and the creation of decent sustainable jobs. Amongst other things we need to: Invest in strategic infrastructure that unlocks economic opportunities and

creates jobs; Increase support for small enterprises and co-operatives; Expand public works programmes;

Page 23: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

22 | P a g e

Produce more, cleaner energy and promote energy self-sufficiency; Expand access to water for commercial, social and agricultural use; Provide job placements and internship schemes for youth; Step up education and training opportunities for youth; Increase the number of young people in public works schemes; Review our approach on land use management; and Work with the private sector to expand the intake of young people

The Department has therefore customised its support to municipalities to align with the ever changing economic development environment. The function of local economic development is premised on municipal local economic development, capacity building and project implementation support aligned to priority sectors in the PGDP. The Department is supporting municipal capacity for effective development planning, policy making and strategy implementation. The capacity building interventions are aimed at responding to the capacity constraints experienced in most municipalities. Two main Programmes have been introduced to address capacity, namely; the university entry level qualification in LED and the district development agencies programme. To address the lack of investment in the various nodes and corridors and to compliment the work that is being done by other sectors in the LED space, the Department is rolling out the Small Town and Corridor Development Programmes with a special focus on addressing the infrastructure needs for investors to create a more conducive environment for job creation and strengthen the response to the ever changing economic development environment. In addressing economic development holistically, the Department will support Traditional Institution in order to promote socio-economic programmes. Traditional Leaders have a definitive role to play in development and job creation in the rural economy. The Department shall therefore support traditional communities by facilitating the establishment of vital development partnerships. In terms of the Back to Basics approach, the planning, implementation and maintenance of basic infrastructure is critical for sustaining basic standards of living and economic activity in municipalities. All municipalities will therefore need to: Develop fundable consolidated infrastructure plans; Ensure infrastructure maintenance and repairs to reduce losses; and Ensure the provision of Free Basic Services and the maintenance of Indigent

Register. With regard to this the Department will need to support the implementation of operation and maintenance plans and ensure a systematic approach to service delivery. The Department will also need to ensure that municipalities acquire the necessary skills required for infrastructure management.

In terms of climate change, disaster risk and management are both significant as ty to climate change. Disaster management

at a municipal level needs to act proactively and be able to respond to disasters. Fragmented and unsustainable settlement patterns are a key challenge in the Province. This is compounded by inability to introduce progressive Land Use Management Schemes and Systems to areas that are under jurisdiction of the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act as well as the Ingonyama Trust Act. The NDP highlights the importance of spatial planning and equity linked to development. Spatial concentration through densification is a tool being promoted to create more sustainable settlements. Further the identification of nodes is also an attempt to concentrate development and focus investment in that space. (c) Traditional Institutional Management National Development Plan (NDP) recognises the importance of social cohesion, the role of traditional leadership in governance, administration of justice, socio-economic and cultural development. It is therefore important to highlight the role of Traditional Leaders in taking Local Government forward. Traditional Affairs has also adopted the Back to Basics Approach to ensure that all Traditional Councils are functional. The following are the Back to Basics priorities for Traditional Affairs: Putting people and their concerns first-listening

needs articulated in government planning and implementation); To harmonise the relations between traditional leadership and local

government to improve service delivery and development within municipalities; Participate in the IDPs and community consultation processes including land

use schemes; Facilitate access to land for development purposes; and Good governance and sound administration (Traditional Councils

accountable). The Department will focus its support in terms of five key areas: Stabilisation and strengthening of Traditional Leadership

The Department to strengthen the institution of Traditional Leadership in order to ensure that Traditional Leaders become part of the country's transformation processes. The Department will capacitate Traditional Institution in accordance with the Provincial Capacity Building Strategy. COGTA shall support municipalities in improving participation of Traditional Leaders at municipal level (Section 81) to improve service delivery and development. Establishment of IGR Structures on Traditional Affairs and partnerships in Traditional communities to enable development. Also, Amakhosi should work with government to re-instil the values of Ubuntu, respect and morality. These are the values that Amakhosi have represented over the years that are now

forts at rebuilding communities.

Promotion of cultural and customary way of life which conforms to the Bill of Rights, Constitutional and democratic principles

Culture is the totality of the way of life evolved by people in their attempts to meet the challenges of living in their environment which gives order and meaning to their social, political, economic, aesthetic and religious norms and modes of organisation. Culture should not be interpreted merely as a return to the customs of the past. It embodies the attitude of a people to the future of their traditional values faced with the demands of modern technology, which is essential for development and progress.

Our traditions and cultures will be lost if they are not passed on. The challenge that the Department needs to address is to preserve our cultures by practicing and making them part of our lives. Promote speaking of mother tongue, teaching about traditional foods, dances, folklore, songs and fashion. The Department will work towards enhancing the traditional institutional governance by supporting Traditional Institution in the application of appropriate legislation, policies and frameworks; and develop a plan towards the establishment of a learning institute for Traditional Leaders.

Implementation of policies, legislation and regulations towards

transformation and regulation of the sector In order to ensure the implementation of policies, legislation and regulations,

the Department requires an inter-governmental relation system. In the South African context, this relates to the interaction of the different spheres of government as defined in Chapter 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996. In terms of section 40(1) government is constituted as national, provincial and local spheres of government. COGTA seek to improve and monitor compliance and regulatory effectiveness in terms of land allocations, and also to develop and monitor effective financial management systems.

Coordinate interfaith to promote social cohesion and nation building

The mandate of the Traditional Affairs branch is derived from the following provisions of the Constitution: o Section 6 Rights to use own languages o Section 15 Right to religion, belief and opinion o Section 30 Language and culture o Section 31 Rights of the cultural, religious and linguistic communities o Section 34 Access to justice and the courts o Chapter 12 Recognition of traditional leadership and customary law

The majority of South Africans belong to one religion or another. Traditional and interfaith leadership forums at each district shall be used to promote social cohesion and nation building campaigns and programmes which will culminate into positive self-esteem and ultimately ensure community re-generation, trust,

Page 26: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

25 | P a g e

self-confidence and ultimate morality, thereby promoting culture and eradicating divisions and social ills among communities.

Revive and activate support of traditional institutions to promote socio-

economic programmes

agriculture, health, welfare services and economic development. Traditional Leaders have a definitive role to play in development and job creation in the rural economy. The Department shall therefore support Traditional communities by facilitating the establishment of vital development partnerships.

7.2. Organisational Environment

The Department is structured around four programmes. Programme 1 is Administration and is the support service for the other three Programmes which ensures that they are capacitated to perform their functions. Programme 2 is responsible for supporting Local Government structures. Programme 3 is Development and Planning and it includes Disaster Management, Municipal Infrastructure and Local Economic Development. This programme provides planning and development support to the local governance structures in KwaZulu-Natal. Programme 4 supports the leadership of Traditional Institution. As of 31 January 2015 COGTA had a total of 1641 permanent posts in its employ. Males constitute 41.74% (685) while females constitute 58.26% (956) of the workforce. At the senior management level, males constitute 49.06% (26) and females are 50.94% (27). The recruitment and selection processes of the Department will be categorically focused towards achieving the employment levels in accordance with the DPSA Transformation Targets. In the next five years the Department will focus on the following areas of employment policy or practice barriers, to drive the achievement of our employment equity targets as stipulated in the Employment Equity Plan; recruitment procedures, appointments, training and development, promotions, succession and experience planning, and retention of designated personnel.

It is the responsibility of the Department to organise itself in a manner that will maximise service delivery whilst fulfilling its mandate. The Department has examined its internal organisational environment and agrees that it needs to reconfigure its working arrangement to enhance the responsibility of co-ordination within and outside the Department. This environmental change will have a very significant impact in the next five years. With the new reconfigured arrangement, the Department anticipates becoming more vigorously responsive to the needs of its clients. In addition, filling of critical posts remains critical for COGTA. Continuous capacitating of employees as per Personal Development Plan will work towards improving the service delivery at COGTA.

7.3. Description of the Strategic Planning Process The Department initiated the Strategic Planning process in December 2013. Sessions were held with each programme as well as the Department as a whole in January 2014 to review the vision, mission and strategies in view of the current performance and support of the Department to its clients. The Department undertook detailed planning to ensure that the priorities outlined in the NDP, MTSF, SONA, SOPA and

Page 28: Final Strategic Plan 28-Lindo - KZNCOGTA€¦ · Governance and Traditional Affairs. This Strategic Plan outlines the strategic initiatives and commitments by the department to protect,

27 | P a g e

PGDP were incorporated in the Department key strategies and interventions. Furthermore, key policy pronouncements impacting on local government were taken cognisance of. High level objectives were unpacked into

ommitment towards co-ordination and joint accountability was agreed on, resulting in the need to change the strategic direction of the Department. The Executive Authority was engaged at all stages in the preparation of the plan for strategic direction and input.

7.4. Implementation of the Strategic Plan In order to move away from a silo system of doing business, the strategic plan has been structured to ensure that in most instances more than one role-player will be required to achieve a strategic intervention. In designing and planning such joint strategic interventions, cognisance must be taken of the roles and responsibilities of each role-player. A lead (most likely at directorate level) is identified in order to ensure that there is proper co-ordination and management of the departmental actions towards achieving the strategic interventions. The lead will be responsible for ensuring that the collaborating role-players: internal (partners) and external (stakeholders) properly plan, implement and deliver the planned actions of the strategic intervention. The responsibility of achieving the departmental strategic interventions will be at chief directorate level. The implementation of the strategic intervention must be included in all respective business and individual plans at all levels in the respective operational units and be reported on accordingly.

7.5. Monitoring and evaluation

The Department shall strengthen the structures in place and ensure a co-ordinated reporting system to monitor organisational performance which begins with employee performance management as referred by the Employee Performance Management Development System (EPMDS). The COGTA monitoring and evaluation shall provide progress, early warning systems and make recommendations for informed decision making towards the achievement of the commitments in the Strategic Plan. This also includes keeping track of progress on performance against implementation of the NDP and PGDP. Co-operation between the Departments and partners on other sectors will be important to assess progress and identify blockages. As per the NDP, the Department provides great emphasis on evidence-based monitoring and evaluation in which the submitted evidence is analysed.
