Economic development- The objective is to improve the economy of the district through the creation of jobs and additional economic activities. As a water services authority, ZDM spends a significant portion of the municipal infrastructure grant (MIG) on water and sanitation projects. Therefore, the district is heavily dependent on grant funding to implement its mandate in terms of the constitution of the Republic.
Finally, the implementation of water and sanitation projects and other assigned functions through the structural law constitute compliance with national, provincial and local development goals to eradicate the backlog of the past. This is assumed due to the high maintenance costs of the water tankers and the poor conditions for vehicles.
