Workshop for the SDBIP (Service Delivery and Budget Implementation

Plan) Strategic Plan
Dates: 19 -21 April 2021

What challenges does the municipality have: Hon. Mayor – Cllr SJ Mavuso
The main mandate of the municipality is to do service delivery to the community, it is not to
employ people or create job opportunities. The Hon. Mayor made a token of appreciation to the
Councillors for working cooperatively since the assumption of the office in September 2016.
Thus, the Council could successfully take resolutions although it is a hung Council. Among the
challenges the municipality has, the Hon. Mayor cited the following:

•  People are not empowered to grow eDumbe economy and to create business
  opportunities through LED (Local Economic Development) programmes.
•  If a person from anywhere in world can visit municipal website there is nothing attractive
  in terms of LED at eDumbe.
•  There were areas identified for the establishment of minerals production (i.e. mines) but
  until today no processes have been initiated.
•  EDumbe has more than 1000 ha land which is underutilised, but there are no firms
  established in the area which can employ a numerous number of people.
•  Building of shopping complex structure can be possible to erupt but the bigger challenge
  is large number of unemployment in whole area of eDumbe.
•  The municipal website is silent about tourism whereas eDumbe is very rich in terms
  history. The Hon. Mayor echoed that sometimes he had idea that the Municipality’s
  name be changed to Mkabayi Municipality which could hold the heritage of eDumbe.
•  There are other programmes the municipality is doing such as registering students at
  tertiary institutions, and many more. He has then requested that these programmes be
  published on the municipal website.

In his conclusion the Hon. Mayor stated that the MECs Ms Peggy Nkonyeni, premier of
KwaZulu-Natal, Hon. S Zikalala who and the MEC for Tourism, and late MEC Mr Ntuli have
committed implement development programmes including building the lacking infrastructure at
eDumbe.
By these words I would like to emphasize that although the term of office for the current
councillors is about to end, but the councillors that will be elected to the office would have the
challenge to continue with these programmes.
Presentation by Mr Nhlanhla Mtaka
Mr Mtaka elaborated on the process of developing the IDP and Budget that it should involve the
people of eDumbe and talk directly to their needs. He also lectured the councillors that the
manner in which the functioning of the municipality is analysed is unique; the technique called
PESTEL is used. The PESTEL stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technology, Environment,
Legal:

•  Political —- How is the council arrangement
•  Economic —- What feeds the economy
•  Social —- Cohesion, stability etc.
•  Technology —- Advancement tools vs. Men
•  Environment —- Global warming, ecology, disasters
•  Legal —- Contract management, failures, non completion of projects etc.

The councillors and the staff have then discussed around the PESTEL analysis brainstorming
on the challenges eDumbe is facing, where they touched on the implementation of projects and
many more. The councillors have appreciated that although the municipality has a hung council
but that does not negatively affect the decision making by Council.
Presentation by Cogta Representatives
The representative from Cogta Mr MP Moya and Mr Andre Delport made presentations on how
the municipality can work towards achieving the Clean Audit and how can it compile and
manage its PMS respectively, deducing from the qualification audit opinion from AG’s report for
2019/2020. Subsequent to that the KZN COGTA MPRA Project Team also made the
presentation on how the collection of rates can be improved (MPRA support rates) in the
municipality.
