4.1.1 13th of October 2016

The Economic Development Department was called to make presentations on all its programmes and the SDBIP for 2016/17. They presented on EPWP, Vat Ales, Co-Operatives, Informal Street Trading and the Structure of the Department, but due to high volume of presentation, the meeting was extended to the 28th October 2016.

4.1.2 28th of October 2016

Presentations were done by National Treasury, Economic Desk from the Office of the Executive Mayor, Tshwane Economic Development Agency, City Planning and the Economic Development Department.

National Treasury – addressed the Committee on its support role to municipalities. Their focus is based on Economic Performance of Large Cities in the country. Tshwane was viewed as the highest in economic growth amongst all other municipalities but this trend collapsed since 2015 due to political instabilities. Treasury proposed that the City of Tshwane should develop good infrastructure to attract investors.

Economic Desk from the Executive Mayor’s Office – addressed the Committee on Tshwane’s perspective on business. Tshwane is the 3rd largest city in the world in terms of land space. Thus, the City has enough land for future socio-economic development. In the past few years, the City has seen unprecedented influx of economic migrants coming from other

6

Provinces and the neighboring countries in search of job opportunities. This brought challenges like squatting and informal settlements as well as fighting for scarce job opportunities. Tshwane is the capital city of South Africa and has over 180 embassies in the City. The world sees South Africa through Tshwane and therefore, it is imperative that the City must depict a positive image of the country to the entire world. This can be achieved by the City building a sound economy, creating jobs, minimizing socio-economic unrests and creating an environment that is going to attract investors.

Tshwane Economic Development Agency (TEDA) – addressed the Committee on their role as the key driver in accelerating economic growth in the City. This they do through attracting investors to come and invest in Tshwane. Their key performance areas include Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion as well Property and Asset Management.

City Planning- addressed the Committee on their mandate based on the following statutes: Spatial Planning and Land-Use Management Act 16 of 2013 (SPLUMA). They clarified role played by their three Divisions namely: City Planning, City Development & Built Environment and Enforcement Division. They also addressed the Committee on Catalytic Projects which include African Gate-Way, West Capital, Symbio-City, East Capital, Northern Gate-Way Precinct and the Caledonian Project.

Economic Development – addressed the Committee on the status of the following Township Revitalisation Projects: Kgora Community Bakery Project, Reiteretse Vehicle Washing Facility and Tshepo 10 000.

4.1.3 10th of November 2016

Economic Development Department - addressed the Committee on progress regarding the following projects: Tshepo 10 000, Informal Traders Bursary Fund, Tshwane Fresh Produce Market and EPWP. On Tshepo 10 000, the Committee suggested that the programme had to be revisited and scrutinized to remove avenues of corruption. The Supply Chain to be invited to answer on questions asked regarding this programme. Full forensic audit of all the co-operatives that exist in the City including this Tshepo 10 000. Pricing of items and services should be scrutinized in comparison with the market related prices. On Informal Traders Bursary Fund, in order to reduce the plight confronting Informal Traders in raising their kids and avoid seeing these kids becoming informal traders themselves, the Former Executive Mayor came up with measures to deal with this intergenerational poverty that is taking its tall. He established a Bursary Fund that caters for City of Tshwane Informal Traders’ children especially the ones who passed grade 12, not to stay at home due to lack of money but to further their studies. The Committee wanted to know who the beneficiaries of the bursary fund are, how they nominated, where are they studying and what is their academic progress to date. The Committee also wanted to know about the structures governing the informal traders. Further, the Committee was concerned that the City was interacting with informal traders from Region 3 only.

7

On Tshwane Fresh Produce Market, The Committee was informed that the Informal Traders were asked to form themselves into a group known as Tshwane Informal traders Management Cooperative (TITMC). TITMC would be a middle-man between the City and informal traders. Again, TITMC would assist informal traders to buy in bulks which will increase the informal traders bargaining power. Only Region 3’s informal traders were organized and the Department promised that other Regions will follow suit.

4.1.4 18th of November 2016

• Currently, the new Service Provider is on site and the work is in progress. • The capital expenditure of the project was R52 million. • This project belongs to the Transport Department of the City however, the

Economic Development Committee has interest in this project because there are 162 stalls which are to be constructed for use by the informal traders at Mabopane Station.

• The project is located opposite Centurion Mall on a land belonging to the City of Tshwane.

• The building belongs to BCX, a subsidiary of Telkom SA.. • Construction of this 40 square meter building started in May 2016 and expected to

be completed in April/June2017. • It is a two- phase project and currently on its 1st phase which covers building of

offices and a warehouse that will house BCX’s IT related staff. • Phase 2 of the project is envisaged to include the construction of the African

Union (AU), the United Nations (UN) offices and Tshwane International Convention Centre (TICC).

• The actual construction of phase 2 will involve both the Department of Public Works and Department of International Relations (DIRCO).

• No final agreements and/ or MOU’s between the parties are concluded to date. Challenges • Construction of phase 1 went ahead without prior approval of building plans by the

City. • The Lease Agreement of R100 per annum does not make economic sense and

should be reviewed. • Clarity should be given regarding the relocation of buses and taxis as well as

provision of small business opportunities in the precinct • Memorandum of Understanding between the City and DIRCO/Public Works

regarding the development of the phase 2 site is not yet signed. 4.1.6.2 On Symbio City, the Department informed the Committee that:

• This is a mixed-use development (i.e. offices, retail, and hospitality center etc),. • The rationale behind this project is to provide both high density and large high

quality urban open-space to enhance livability for the inhabitants. • Development is envisaged to stretch from the man-made lake next to the

Centurion Mall to Centurion Gautrain Station. • • A one Ben Van Loof (Developer) submitted an unsolicited bid to the City of

Tshwane for the development of this project. • Currently, there is legal dispute between the City of Tshwane and some

individuals regarding the convention of ERF53 (an open-space) from public park to business site. The dispute has been referred to court for litigation. The City has filed opposing affidavits against the applicants at the Northern Gauteng High

12

Court and the matter remains sub-judice. As at the time of preparing this report, no date of set-down was given.

• Safe for the unsolicited bid by Ben Van Loof, to date, no formal contract has been awarded to anyone to develop the site.

Challenges

The court case is delaying the finalization of the park closure.

No contracts have been signed by anyone for the development of Symbio City as yet.

The water in the man-made lake is contaminated and cleaning it will involve cooperation of the cities of Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni

4.1.6.3 On Reiteretse Vehicle Washing Facility, the Department informed the

Committee that:

The Reiteretse Car Wash Facility opened on 20 November 2015.

The facility was intended to includes a Laundromat, salon, kioski and chisa nyama out lets. ; Although the said operations were catered for, they never worked.

The main objective of developing this mixed use facility was to integrate all car wash operations along the Tsamaya Road in Mamelodi under one roof.

The facility had cost the Municipality R6.6 million and was meant to boost township economy and create jobs.

The facility showed signs of failure from its inception when members of the cooperative could not work as a unit.

There was no accountability and the project manager failed to bring the warring members of the cooperative to work as a team.

Previous site visits found the gates locked and no activity

To add salt to the wound, the roof of the facility was blown away by tornado around October 2017.

The Committee was informed by the Department that the facility is insured for natural disasters such as this but to date, one year after the tornado blew off the roof, nothing has been done to renew it.

Since its inception, no other business was conducted at the facility.

The committee was informed that the city had stocked food and meat for the kiosk, Hair salon equipment and Laundry equipment. However, at the inspection in loco conducted by the Committee during February 2017, it was discovered that all the food and meat meant for the kiosk was missing. Again, some of the equipment’s and the raw material stocked for use at the salon and the laundry were missing. The project manager could not account for all the loss suffered.

Challenges

• The cooperative appointed to run the car wash is unable to work as a team. • The Raw material and equipment meant for use at the facility is stolen. • The Roof of the facility has collapsed. • The facility is deteriorating daily. • The Department is failing to get the insurance to renew the roof damaged by

storm. 4.1.6.4 On Tshwarisanang Plastic Manufacturing facility, the Department informed the Committee that:

13

• The project was launched in May 2016 • And allocated R3,3 Million capital budget. • Since its inception, there was no production on site because one machine at the

tail-end of production line that is needed to seal the plastics had a factory fault and it never worked since it was brought into the plant.

• All other machines to process the product are functional and have a maximum capacity to produce 40 000 refuse bags per day,

• The members of the co-operative who are supposed to work in this facility hail from Refilwe in Region 5.

• The building is in good condition, properly ventilated and with security at the entrance. There is an office in the facility, storage, kitchen, toilets, water tanks and a resting area outside.

Challenges

• No feasibility study was done on the project • No business plan was ever developed for this project. • No Plan B the Department thought of, • No MOA between the City and the appointed co-operative • The sealing machine is not working and the supplier of the machine does not

cooperate. 4.1.7 21st of April 2017 Economic Development and Spatial Planning Department addressed the Committee on

progress regarding the following projects: Mamelodi Rondevels and West Capital

4.1.7.1 On Mamelodi Rondevels, the Department informed the Committee that:

• This is a heritage site which used to be a college in the years gone by.

• Among those who attended the School there were Arch bishop Desmond Tutu.

• The site was revamped during 2011 by the City in an effort to preserve our

heritage..

• Since then, the facility was never used and it continues to deteriorate every day.

• It is alleged that currently, the Nyaope gangs have invaded the site and use it as

their hiding spot.

• The facility has a strong marketing element and a tourism potential.

• It will need about R1.5 Million to renovate the rondervels.

• Currently, the Deparment has allocated a budget of R200 000 for this facilities.

• Currently, there is private security posted by Metro police on site but it would

seem that they are unable to curb the vandalism happening there.

• The Local community has shown interest to guard the facility and this possibility

should be explored further.

• The Department has indicated that they will give the committee a comprehensive plan to save this heritage site.

Challenges

• The site is vandalized and used by Nyaope gangs as their hiding spot.

• The facility is deteriorating.

• There is no tight security.

• The Department does not seem to have clear plan to resuscitate the site.

14

4.1.7.2 On West Capital Project, the Department informed the Committee that: • The West Capital Project is an envisaged residential development in West of the city centre. • The project includes but not limited to the Revamping of Schubert Park residential complex. • Schubert Park Consists of 4 high rising towers: A, B, C and D. • The complex was erected in the 1970s as part of state subsidized rental scheme for the benefit of civil servants. • The complex was handed to the City of Tshwane in July 1999.

• In September 2011, after realizing that the complex has dilapidated to uninhabitable proportions, the City evacuated all residents of Schubert Park. • Thereafter, The City embarked on Tender Process to get the building to be refurbished. • The Tender was awarded to Tshoseletso Consortium owned by a certain Anna Mokgokong. • In terms of the agreement, the building renovations would take approximately 18 months to complete. • On the other hand, residents of Schubert Park took the City to Constitutional -court and the court ordered the City to give residents alternative accommodation; an order of which the City obliged with. • Not only did the City provide alternative accommodation to the residents of Schubert Park, it also paid for their rentals and is still paying to date. •The City has paid more than R100 million for rental of these residents. •The consortium is yet to start with the renovation work. • As a result, a recommendation was made by the Section 79 Oversight Committee that the Tender awarded to Tsoseletso Consortium be revoked and a new Tender be advertised to ensure that the renovation of Schubert is carried out. • The Committee further recommended that while the Schubert Park matter remains sub-judice, an adjacent building, the Kruger Park, be refurbished so as to relieve the City from the burden of Schubert Park debacle. Challenges • To date, renovation of Schubert Park has not started • The City is in breach of court order • The City is paying rental for residents of Schubert Park and to date, more than R100 million has been spent • There is a potential of further revolts by residents of Schubert Park if no solution is found soon. • Five years down the line, Schubert Park remains the same. The Committee also went through its Process Plan and Mid-Term Report. Discussions on the Process Plan were based on the Youth Symposium Event that had to run in June, a month viewed as the Youth Month in commemoration of 1976 Youth Up-Rising. There also were some slight discussions on Mamelodi Rondavels. The information was based on: Current State and Future Plans on the project. The Committee viewed tourism as misplaced in the City and thought of planning a visit to the site. The Economic Development Department also responded to the task the Committee gave them, of coming with a report on improvements in their Tshwane Revitalization projects or designing an alternative to the projects. They were

15

asked to present this progress in the Oversight Committee Meeting of October 2017.

• These are catalytic projects which needs a lot of money to implement and thus, a tripple-P (Public and private partnership) approach will be needed. .

Challenges The above projects are catalytic in nature and would need a lot of money to be invested. . 4.1.8.2 On TEDA, the Committee was informed that:

• Tshwane Economic Development Agency (TEDA) is a key driver in accelerating

economic growth in the City. This they do through attracting investors to come

and invest in Tshwane. Their key performance areas include Tourism, Agriculture,

Trade and Investment Promotion as well Property and Asset Management.

• Their budget for the current year is R60 Million.

Challenges

• TEDA has for many years came with attractive plans but there is little to show of

it.

• Implementation seem to be a challenge for TEDA.

• The projects that the agency intend to do will cost the city a substantial amount of

money and it will need private business to partner with the city.

4.1.8.3 On Group Property Management, the Committee was informed that:

The Division is not fully functional because they are still going to recruit the Head of the division and other support staff.

Their core function is to keep asset register for all properties of the city.

., 603 residential/non-residential units.

There are a number of derelict buildings belonging to City (eg: Melgisedek) and the city intends to renovate them.

Some of buildings owned by the city were receiving rental far less than what they worth in the market and the city is busy working on plans to renegotiate the rentals with the tenants.

Most of the residential buildings are used by employees of the city.

An audit is underway to check who rents what and to ensure that those who sublet the properties unlawfully are brought to book.

Challenges. • The division is understaffed. • The asset register is not up to date 4.9 On the 15th of June 2017 The section 79 oversight committee, Economic Development and Spatial Planning, Hosted a Youth Symposium; an Outreach Programme which was aimed at bringing young people from all walks of life in the City.

Participants were drawn from the database held by the Department of economic development. Over 150 people were invited but only 50% of them pitched up.

17

The reason for low turn up could be attributed to taxi strike on the day of the symposium which made even some of the presenters to abandon the trip to the city Centre as the taxis blocked most roads towards town.. The following entities presented papers on the day: On Financial Support, • ABSA – Enterprise and Supply Chain Development • National Youth Development Agency • GEP • SEFA On Non-Financial Support: • Gauteng Economic Development Department • Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) • Productivity SA • My Spaza • SMTDC Young people where assisted to understand how to:

Taxi strike on the day made it difficult for many people to arrive and attend the symposium;

A lot of young people find it difficult to access funding 5. LEGAL PARAMETERS

ANALYSIS OF THE 2016/17 STATE OF THE CAPITAL ADDRESS In the 2016/17 State of the City Address, the Executive Mayor announced that about 23 000 job opportunities will be created to alleviate poverty within the Expanded Public Works Programme. Noting that the beneficiaries were exceeding the 6 months contract they were supposed to be appointed for, the Executive Mayor outlined the intention to implement the contracts dor a period ranging between one and three months, to avoid creating an expectation thet the placement would be/was permanent. This would further offer more beneficiaries an opportunity to benefit from the programme. There was also an amount R660 Million allocated for investment in the Industrial nodes of Watloo, Rosslyn and Kangala. The commitments made also include building of a new fire station in Mamelodi to ensure that people have better access to emergency services.

15. IMPLICATIONS

15.1 Financial Implications

Rentals of about R230 million paid for former residents of Schubert Park cost the City lots of money.

The Eco-Factory Facility should be marketed and assisted with marketing to increase volumes of purchases of their products

Theft of material at Mabopane Station is a hard-blow to the City as it amounts to R914 440.

The facilities such as the car wash, brick making , paper factory and plastic manufacturing facilities should be revisited for feasibility or alternative uses of the facilities to be successful. The CoT cannot be the sole buyer of products from these facitlites or pay a price higer than they can obtain from other service providers. All township revitilisation projects should be revisited .

15.2 Human Resources Implications

More jobs to be created through initiatives introduced by TEDA

Creation of jobs in the African Gate-Way project

More jobs still to be created by the African Gate-Way project through establishment of AU and UN Offices

Jobs have been created in the Eco-Factory Facility to alleviate poverty 15.3. Constitutional and Legal Factors
