Vision
Drafting of the Main Strategic Document – this refers to the compilation of a long-term strategic plan for the municipal area as prescribed in Article 25 of the MSR. Furthermore, community members were given the opportunity to provide written comments and councilors and municipal officials were also given the opportunity to provide their respective input through the session of the IDP/Budget Management Committee meetings.
Mission
This process plan also contained the agenda for the establishment of the ward committee cycle, and this is because the municipality must use its departmental committees as the primary consultation structure in relation to planning. The input of the ward committees could not be taken into account because the ward committees were only established and had their training in the month of April and have not held their meetings yet.

HUMAN CAPITAL
The Kgatelopele Integrated Development Planning Representative Forum (IDP FORUM) consists of a number of representatives from each of the Neighborhood Committees, Sectoral Departments, ie. Kgatelopele Municipality, through the Office of the Mayor, should implement and maintain a successful neighborhood committee system in all neighborhoods. In addition, neighborhood committees must receive an annual performance report from the Municipality, in accordance with Article 121 (2) of the MFMA.
The core of the plan is to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality, with a special focus on promoting gender equality and addressing the urgent needs of young people. The Municipal System Act (2000: Article 16) clearly states that a municipality must “encourage the local community and create conditions for participation in the affairs of the municipality, including the preparation, implementation and review of its integrated development plan". It gives the municipality the chance to get a better understanding of the level of facilities available in that particular area.

The table below summarizes the overall status of disaster management within the municipality as outlined in the district's DRMP. However, the local mines usually provide conditional aid to the municipality in the event of a disaster.
Dolomite risk management in the municipality is carried out in accordance with SANS-1936, the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act 1977 (Act No. 103 of 1977) and other applicable standards. The municipality, with the assistance of the District's Disaster Management Department, will declare an area unsafe and initiate immediate remedial measures if there is a potentially dangerous situation. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a summary of the current status and waste management initiatives in the municipality as outlined in the draft IWMP.
STATUS QUO
Next, the Municipality is in the process of drawing up an IWMP that includes situational analysis such as the demographics, development profile, assessment of the amounts of waste generated, the types of waste generated, collection of waste and methods of disposing of the waste to do and any other related matter.

A well-informed council and staff with a good understanding of waste legislation and the requirements and mandates related to local authorities is the desired state under this category. In addition, this should include a well-educated public with a good general awareness of the impact of waste on human health and the environment, as well as appropriate behaviors and values in relation to waste management.
The municipality wants to have a financially stable and sustainable waste management system that offers a good quality service to the consumer at a reasonable cost as well as a proper and effective credit control system.

Appointment of new staff/institutional strategy: In order to facilitate the continuous improvement of waste management in KLM, it is essential that KLM continues to increase its institutional capacity. After the recent appointment of the Waste Management Officer, it is also important to appoint the Technical Manager to closely supervise the waste management section. Audit/management of landfills: The management of the landfill in Danielskuil is outsourced to a private contractor.
The development of this interest group is considered to be the work of the Waste Management Officer and therefore no cost has been assigned to the project in the cash flow forecast. For any well-managed landfill, accurate recording of waste inputs is essential for effective site management as it enables verifiable returns to be made to the waste regulatory body. Issuance of misdemeanor fines: The municipality must create an appropriate action plan for the implementation of the bylaws and the issuing of fines for violations of the waste bylaws.
Conclusion

Focus on certain parts of the city/municipality/region for regeneration or growth (area-oriented initiatives); A municipality must structure and manage administrative, budgeting and planning processes to prioritize the basic needs of the community and promote the social and economic development of a community.” - South African Constitution (1996).
Local economic development must be planned, implemented and monitored within the context of the national, provincial, local government policy and LED planning framework. In the context of the spatial transformation agenda, SPLUMA is proposed as a possible tool to realize spatial transformation. Policies, legislation and procedures must be clearly defined to inform and empower members of the public.
INTEGRATED TRANSPORT PLAN
The implementation of a movement system is one of the key structures and elements of the future development predictions. The municipality faces a major challenge in developing new human settlements due to the uncertainty of the underlying dolomite soil conditions. It was therefore recommended that a more suitable Greenfield site be sought for the development of the necessary subsidized housing proposed by the Municipality.
Delivering cost-effective and sustainable services to the entire community with zeal and empathy is one of the mission statements of the municipality. The municipality also participates in the Municipal Financial Management Internship Program and has three interns in training in different departments of the Finance Directorate. It is expected that 95% of Capital's budget will be spent in fiscal year 2018/19.
Social and Labour Plans (SLP)
Kgatelopele is home to a number of poor households, resulting in endless housing and socio-economic deprivation. This is caused by the general influx of people from neighboring towns, counties and farms to seek employment and change livelihoods. Capital expenditures are closely monitored through monthly cash flows and monthly reporting to the Board on capital expenditures.
The purpose of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (2002) is, among other things, to transform the mining and production industries in South Africa. In order to ensure effective transformation in this regard, the Act requires submission of the Social and Labor Plan as a prerequisite for the granting of mining or production rights. The programs below are aimed at promoting employment and promoting the social and economic welfare of all South Africans, while ensuring economic growth and socio-economic development (SLP Revised Guidelines, 2010: 01).
