MOGALAKWENA LOCAL MUNICIPALITYMunicipal Profile
Mogalakwena Local Municipality : Municipal Profile. Developed by i@Consulting (Pty) Ltd on behalf of the Housing Development Agency - 2014 Page 1
The Housing Development Agency (“HDA”) is a national public development agency that promotes sustainable communities by making well located and appropriately planned land and buildings available for the development of human settlements. The Agency has developed and deployed an information system which includes municipal profiles for selected municipalities. The intent of this profile is to provide guidelines and advice to Provincial Department of Human Settlements as well as municipalities on efficient utilization of land and economic government infrastructure investments in support of integrated human settlements development.
introduction
The template was compiled for the Housing Development Agency using a number of different data sources. The 2011 Census information from StatsSA was used extensively to represent socio-economic information.
The financial profile data was extracted from the municipalities’ most recent financial statements. The Integrated Development Plan (IDP), Housing Development Plan (MHDP) and Spatial Development Framework of each municipality also provided inputs into the municipal profile. Where possible, each source of information is quoted as part of the specific figure, table or chart.
The municipal profile is structured in the following sections:• Section 1 provides background information on the
municipality, including land use data;• Section 2 deals with demographic information such as
population growth and income;• Section 3 provides an economic overview of the
municipality;• Section 4 investigates the financial status of the
municipality;• Section 5 gives headline data on the property market in
the municipality;• Section 6 looks at housing demand and historic delivery
of RDP houses;• Section 7 displays a land rent analysis • Section 8 provides a snapshot of water, sanitation and
electricity delivery;• Section 9 displays a cost surface analysis• Section 10 deals with budget implications of servicing the
housing backlog,• Section 11 analyse the performance of the planning
function at municipal level.

annual collection rate
102,11% of all billed revenue has been collected, the benchmark is 95%
The payment level of 102,11% resulted in a gain of R 6 million in cash flow which will be utilised in service delivery or in capital investment.
Future sustainability and growth is dependent on a collection rate of approximately 95% and a focused revenue collection strategy should be implemented.
own revenue to total operating revenue
Although 45,15% of the Municipality’s revenue is internally generated in 2013, this has decreased from 52,33% during 2012, which indicates an increasing dependency on government grants to sustain operations.
asset turnover Service revenue to assets employed (asset turnover) measures whether there is sufficient investment in economic assets. The benchmark is 20%

cost surface analysis
To develop land everywhere in the municipality does not necessarily cost the same. Often vacant land is developed at a cost significantly higher than elsewhere in the municipality. This cost surface map for the municipality will indicate the premium payable based on certain environmental and geological constraints.

accessibility analysis -CBD
This map tests housing projects identified in the SDF in terms of how accessible these projects are to the CBD of the Municipality (essentially a test to see if proposals attempt a “compact city” design).From the map it is clear that the majority of projects would take longer than 25 minutes to access the CBD of Potgietersrus.
This map tests housing projects identified in the SDF in terms of how accessible these projects are to employment opportunities. Since mining is the major employer in the municipality, all active mines were used as origins. The map clearly indicates that a number of SDF residential proposals are located on the periphery of the municipality, more than 10 minutes away from employment opportunities.

planning activities
systems
This section investigates the legislative requirements of having an IDP, SDF and land use scheme in place. Though not legislated, it also includes a long term strategic plan (e.g. a growth and development strategy). On the whole it the planning scope of practises in the municipality can be seen as “competent” . All the requirements of legislation are met.
The various planning tools and products at the disposal of a municipally are supported by various information systems. These systems can be relatively large and complex (e.g. an agent based transport and land use modelling system) or relatively simple (such as an excel spread sheet calculating the number of social facilities to be provided as for different population scenarios). Information systems can thus be defined in this particular context as the means by which skilled municipal officials use software and information to support the process of spatial restructuring.

organisational tactics
human resources
The organisational tactics, or rather the extent to which the organisation support the Planning function can at best be described as being in its “awareness” phase. It is largely left up to individuals to up skill themselves or to acquire necessary information required for personal growth. More interaction with planning role-players are required for the planning function to grow the municipality. This includes access to information and networking with planners at other municipalities or other spheres of government.
