EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Umkhanyakude district is largely rural, Mtubatuba in the south being the only substantial town. Low education levels and a youthful population profile emphasise the need for a greater focus on education and related activities. Tourism is one of the leading industries in the district, which is recognised as a significant and unique eco-tourism location with the potential to be developed into a world-class destination. Natural attractions in the district are underpinned by the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and the Isimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site.

Unemployment and poverty are at a high level. More than 70% of the population survives on less than R800 per month and 82.95% of households live below the poverty line. The sanitation backlog is one of the major infrastructural challenges facing the municipality, with Jozini and uMhlabuyalingana the most affected. An overview of household access to infrastructure in the district shows an improvement from a low level of 18% in 1996 to 44% in 2009. The main contributor to the increase in access is electricity infrastructure and to a certain extent water and sanitation.

In 2009/10 all municipalities except Umkhanyakude district obtained financially unqualified audit outcomes. Between 2005/6 and 2008/9 all audit outcomes for Umkhanyakude were disclaimers, indicating the challenges in terms of financial management.

Umkhanyakude District was highlighted in the KwaZulu-Natal State of Local Government Assessment as having challenges with political instability, as well as serious challenges in the issue of political-administrative interface. Umkhanyakude was also among identified municipalities that have serious financial management challenges.

In terms of its Municipal Turn-Around Strategy the Umkhanyakude District Municipality identified a number of interventions and source funding required to address backlogs on water and sanitation services provision. A further priority is the development of an Operations and Maintenance Plan for the water services infrastructure. The District must also engage ESKOM, as the major supplier of electricity, to increase the number of connections throughout the Umkhanyakude district

Four of the five local municipalities in the Umkhanyakude District have been classified as in the category of most vulnerable by DCoG in terms of functionality, socio-economic profile and backlog status. This profile confirms that infrastructure prioritisation in Umkhanyakude District should focus on addressing the high water and sanitation backlogs, as well as improving operations and maintenance, especially of non-functioning water schemes.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview1

Umkhanyakude refers to the greenish tree with thorns (Acacia xanthophloea or fever tree) that mainly grows in the Umkhanyakude district. Literally Umkhanyakude means ‘that shows light from afar’. The District Municipality is situated in the northeastern part of KwaZulu- Natal, extending from the uMfolozi River up to the Mozambique and Swaziland borders, being bounded to the east by the Isimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site, formerly known as the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, that encompasses the entire coastline onto the Indian Ocean.

The following five local municipalities are found under Umkhanyakude District Municipality: uMhlabuyalingana Municipality, Jozini Municipality, the Big Five False Bay Municipality, Hlabisa Municipality and Mtubatuba Municipality. There is also a district management area that the district municipality is responsible for.

The district is largely rural, Mtubatuba in the south being the only substantial town. Several smaller towns are growing rapidly, such as Manguzi, Jozini, Mkuze and, to a lesser extent, Mbazwana. The total population is estimated at over 610 000. The population is exceptionally young, with 70% being below 18 years of age. Low education levels (46% of people have never been to school and 66.4% of adults have a limited education) together with a youthful population profile emphasise the need for a greater focus on education and related activities. There is limited access to information, particularly in the deep rural areas.

Unemployment and poverty are at a high level. Only 6.6% of the total populations have employment. More than 70% of the population survives on less than R800 per month and 82.95% of households live below the poverty line.

Free basic services for water, sanitation and electricity are currently being piloted. Although progress has been made in the provision of electricity, the majority of households (almost 80%) still have no access to electricity and use candles for lighting. A number of projects are currently being undertaken to address the backlog. The sanitation backlog is one of the major infrastructural challenges facing the municipality, with Jozini and uMhlabuyalingana the most affected. A health and hygiene programme aimed at reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases such as cholera has been implemented.

Tourism is one of the leading industries in the district, which is recognised as a significant and unique eco-tourism location with the potential to be developed into a world-class destination. Natural attractions in the district are underpinned by the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and the Isimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site, which have been under formal conservation since 1895 and 1999 respectively.

The district is embarking upon a craft enterprise development programme to enhance cultural tourism through abundant art and craft activities readily available within the district. A Tourism Plan and a Tourism Plan Implementation Strategy have been developed and are being implemented to streamline tourism development in the district. A number of community conservation areas such as Usuthu Gorge, Rhino Reserve, Tshanini and others have been established by communities in a move to harness tourism benefits. A number of large-scale tourism initiatives are underway. These include Pongolapoort Dam Tourism Initiative, Makhathini Master Plan and the Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area, which is international tourism development collaboration between South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique. Serious marketing initiatives are being implemented in partnership with Tourism and the Elephant Coast Tourism Association. These include district-wide state-of-the-art information centres, a glossy Elephant Coast destination brochure and attendance of domestic and international trade and consumer shows.

Sodwana Bay is among the best scuba diving spots in the world and attracts a multitude of international visitors. The district has magnificent public and private game reserves such as Tembe Elephant Park, Ndumo Game Reserve, Mkuze Game Reserve and Thanda and Phinda private game reserves. About 60% of the visitors to the game parks/reserves are domestic and 40% are international. Domestic visitors are mainly from KwaZulu-Natal. International visitors are mainly from Europe (Germany, the Netherlands and France), the UK and the USA.

Natural resources form the basis of most of the eco-tourism enterprises in the district and provide the impetus for hunting, game farming and subsistence and recreational fishing. Natural resources are also used extensively for food, crafts, construction and ‘muti’ (traditional medicine).

The district and the community do not benefit from the Isimangaliso Wetland Park Reserve because of the buffer/boundary around it. It was also stated that there is noncooperation between the park and the district. Despite the game attractions; the district has not fully actualised community-based tourism.

Umkhanyakude District has the third lowest access to infrastructure amongst the districts in the province. An overview of household access to infrastructure in the district shows an improvement from a low level of 18% in 1996 to 44% in 2009. The main contributor to the increase in access is electricity infrastructure and to a certain extent water and sanitation.

2.2 Sanitation

With regard to access to sanitation, the district municipality’s household access to hygienic toilets has gone up from 9% in 1996 to 56% in 2009. The improvement in access to sanitation in general in the Municipality is mainly due to the increase in the use of pit latrines with ventilation.

2.3 Water

Assessment, 2007/2008.

8

There are lower levels of access to clean water in the district. Access to piped water above RDP level increased from a low level of only 13% to 46% from 1996 to 2009. Similarly, there has been an increase as well in access to piped water below RDP level and more than 15% of households are now getting this service.

2.4 Electricity

The increase in electricity connections is the biggest infrastructure achievement in the municipality. In 1996, household access to electricity connections was at a low level of 12%. Access has, however, increased over the years reaching 60% by 2009.

2.5 Refuse removal

There has been a slight increase in access to formal refuse removal service from 1996 to 2009 in the Municipality. Access has gone up from 4% in 1996 to 14% in 2009. Personal refuse removal also went up over the years reaching 70% in 2009. The high levels of personal refuse removal must be taken in the context of low settlement densities, where on-site disposal or backyard burning of waste is sometimes appropriate.

2.6 Service provider

Umkhanyakude district performs the electricity reticulation, potable water and sanitation functions for the local municipalities. The district has no authority and is not performing the refuse removal, refuse dumps and solid waste disposal function.

In the case of the Big 5 False Bay, before obtaining a financially unqualified audit outcome in 2009/10 the municipality was granted qualified audit opinions for four years in succession.

4. STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENT

4.1 Overview of findings on assessment in the municipality

4.1 Governance

Umkhanyakude District Municipality is amongst the 61 identified municipalities in Kwazulu-Natal that recorded serious challenges requiring immediate intervention. With regards to the issue of political instability in the Umkhanyakude DM’s council is among the 17 identified municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal that have moderate and serious challenges. Some of the issues given as causes of political instability in the council include: lack of understanding and adherence to the roles and responsibilities of political office bearers; interference in council matters from the regional and provincial political structures; caucuses not allowing individual councilor input on service delivery issues; council dominated by a more politically powerful administration; lack of communication and public participation frameworks creates environment for uncoordinated interaction with community by provincial politicians, municipal political office bearers, ward councilors and PR councilors.

Umkhanyakude DM is also among eight identified municipalities that have serious challenges in the issue of political-administrative interface and these challenges require immediate intervention.

4.1.2 Financial Management and Viability

Umkhanyakude is among the 30 identified municipalities that have serious financial management challenges. Some of these challenges include: poor financial planning; unskilled staff appointed to do finances; lack of proper financial controls; poor financial competencies of elected representatives; and there is a negative credit control within the municipalities due to high levels of poverty. The State of the Local Government Assessment identified the following financial management challenges raised by stakeholders: most municipalities do not have capacity to manage the indigent; supply

10

http://www.agsa.co.za/

chain management is too political; there is an alleged favouritism and nepotism in the awarding of tenders; and huge funds are spend on councilors salaries while nothing is left for service delivery.

5. INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES OF THE MUNICIPAL TURN-AROUND STRATEGY

The Umkhanyakude District Municipality identified a number of priorities for infrastructure delivery in the Implementation Plan for the Umkhanyakude Turn-Around Strategy: Packaging of interventions and source funding to address backlogs on water and

sanitation services provision in Umkhanyakude district. Development of Operations and Maintenance Plan for the water services

infrastructure. Engagement of ESKOM, as the major supplier of electricity, to increase number of

connections throughout the Umkhanyakude district.
