elections, Tlokwe and Ventersdorp Local Municipalities were merged into the JB Marks Local
Municipality.

in 2011 to 742 822 in 2016. The population is unevenly distributed among the four local
municipalities and the average annual growth rate of the district is 1.07% between 2011 and
2016. In 2016 the total number of households in the District was 240 544, with 37.1% headed

between 2014 and 2016.
Mining has historically been the main economic activity within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District

economy from its over-reliance on the mining industry. To this end, the Dr Kenneth Kaunda
District Municipality Local Economic Development (LED) policy identified three priority
sectors earmarked for growth and development which is Tourism, Agriculture and
Manufacturing. The District is confronted by a number of socio-economic and economic
challenges, including high levels of poverty and unemployment, low education and skills

6.2 Municipal Capacity
The organizational structure of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality is under
review and the changed structure will first be adopted in Council and will be reflected
in future documents. The District is reportedly stable whereby Council and its
Committees are functional. Notwithstanding, at Maquassi Hills Local Municipality,
there is instability of Council characterized by infighting that led to political instability
and weak oversight. This has led to non-functionality of Council and its Committees
and in particular the MPAC.
For City of Matlosana Local Municipality the Council is fragmented, the Mayoral
Committee is divided, and the Troika is not coherent. Meetings of Committees of
Council are not convened and/or poorly attended and if they happen to convene, they
are disrupted. This anomaly is impacting negatively on governance and oversight of
Council, thus creating an enabling environment for the collapse of service delivery and
violent service delivery protests. Nonetheless, it is so far the only municipality in the
province with an unqualified audit opinion.
And in the case of JB Marks Local Municipality, Council and its Committees are
functional. Functional ward committees are critical to the national strategic objective
of deepening democracy through public participation. Ward committees have a pivotal
role to play as a conduit between the municipal Council and the community. All local
municipalities in the district have established ward committees.
An audit was also conducted at the three local municipalities and reflected that some
vacancies do exist at ward committees which have been left unfilled for a long period
despite a plea made by the Department of CoGTA to municipalities that whenever a
vacancy occurs, it must be filled immediately at least within three months after it
occurred.
The table below indicates the status of total vacancies in ward committees per
municipality in the district:

For example, in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality 93.7% of staff are permanent
employees and 6.3% are temporary employees, in JB Marks local municipality, 91.5%
of staff are permanent employees and 8.5% are temporary employees, in the City of

7. Projects to Diversify and Grow People and the Economy
7.1 Social Development Project
The Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality can promote social cohesion through
tourism activities which are the source of tourist attraction and local residents can
make use of such. The region has numerous number of outdoor adventurer’s paradise

mountain climbing and abseiling.
Lodges along the Vaal River afford some of the best angling and fly fishing
opportunities in South Africa which includes the Cristiana All Seasons Resort,
Bloemhof Dam Reserve, Boskop Dam Reserve, Sunwa Water Experiences, The Vaal
River and Wolwespruit Nature Reserve. Other popular attractions include the
PROFILE: DR KENNETH KAUNDA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY
28
Vredefort Dome one of the oldest meteor impact sites in the world and the Klerksdorp
Mine Tours.
7.2. Spatial Development
The SDF proposes development according to the following hierarchy of nodes as
outlined in the NW PSDF. Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom are identified as Priority 1
investment nodes (can be regarded as primary nodes). Wolmaransstad is identified as a
Priority 2 investment area (regarded as secondary node). Ventersdorp is identified as a Priority
3 investment area (regarded as tertiary node)
The map below shows the development corridors and urban edge in the two major
towns of the district. The urban edge extracted directly from the local municipalities’
SDFs shows areas where development is restricted in, whereas the development
corridors shows areas that have greater investment potential and where future
developments should be concentrated.

7.4 Environmental forecast
Responding to growth pressures and climate change requires action. In Dr KKD, a
range of planning and design actions are integrated with local planning instruments to
adapt settlements to the likely impacts of climate change and reduce their exposure
to hazards.

8. Key Recommendations
JB Marks Local Municipality borders Gauteng and City of Matlosana Local
Municipality. The main node in the municipality, linking Gauteng to the east, is
Potchefstroom. Potchefstroom is a developed town with finance and business services
sector as the main sector. With the well-developed infrastructure of Potchefstroom, it
has been able to sustain a positive economic growth rate throughout the transition
period in South Africa and, together with its abundance of water and electricity, holds
great opportunities for future growth.
The North West University Potchefstroom Campus attracts investment and capital to
the municipality, making Potchefstroom ideal for the Diversification and Maintenance
Strategy. Matlosana City Local Municipality is considered as a distressed mining
municipality and the focus need to be on the economic and social transformation of
settlements.

Development Guidelines:
• The municipality has a strong educational base and can be seen as a leading
national tertiary hub, with a myriad of opportunities associated with student
housing and relevant services.
• Ensure better functional integration.
• The municipality has high value agricultural land that should be promoted and
protected.
• Ensure land tenure security.
• Delineate a clear urban edge to prevent development on high value agricultural
land and to promote densification.
• Potchefstroom provides a strong urban core with highly skilled employees and
entrepreneurial skills, mainly as a result of the NWU Potchefstroom Campus.
Opportunities exist to diversify the economy and focus on tertiary services such
as the finance and business services sector.
• Potchefstroom is situated close to Gauteng and Klerksdorp – forming part of
the Gauteng City Region, creating opportunities for industrial development,
lifestyle estate development and services such as health care, retail and
education.
• Focus on diversifying and promoting the manufacturing sector.
• Diversify the local economy – focus on forward and backward linkages.
• Uphold business environment and property investment maintenance –
contribute to retain and instill business confidence.
• Integrate the informal market into the economy. There is potential in the second
economy that can be exploited and help to increase the economic base.
• Promote nodal development and retail / commercial development in second
economy areas.
• Formalise housing.
• Provide affordable housing in appropriate locations to ensure that the property
values of high-income areas (mostly situated in the eastern parts of
Potchefstroom) are not affected.
• Promote mixed use developments.
• Revitalisation of the CBD.
• Promote tourism development in the following areas:
