KPA 2: SERVICE DELIVERY AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The primary role of a municipality is to provide and facilitate the delivery of services to its communities. It is therefore imperative for the municipality to understand the extent to which households in its areas of jurisdiction have access to the various services that are essential for their livelihood.
The key issue is that all stakeholders agree that backlogs for water and sanitation are still high and more efforts are needed to meet millennium gaols in this area.
Anecdotal estimates by officials of the water services authority are that Nyandeni has a backlog of between 50 – 60% for water and 60- 65% for sanitation.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Household Access to Refuse Removal
Nyandeni municipality is responsible for providing refuse removal service to its areas of jurisdiction. Since the establishment of Nyandeni municipality in 2000, this service has generally been provided to urban areas of Libode and Ngqeleni only. Rural areas are generally using a range of temporary mechanisms such as own dump within the yard, illegal damp sites and mobile tankers. A comprehensive waste management sector plan is needed to guide municipal interventions.
There is currently one recently licensed landfill site in Libode. The implementation of the Ngqeleni landfill site has been prioritised (funds permitting) in 2010/2011 According to census statistics only 1% of households have access to weekly refuse removal compared to a figure of less than a percent in 1996. The percentage of households utilising communal and municipal skippers have remained at 1% between 1996 and 2004 while those that are utilising own dumps had increased from 65% in 1996 to 75% in 2004.
The figure below shows the state of household access to refuse removal services in the Nyandeni areas.
