It is again that time of reviewing our planning document, the IDP, so that we accelerate the delivery of services to our communities as this municipality. We do this being guided by what the people want in various wards but knowing that the little financial resources that we have cannot cover all wards at the same time. And this resulted into a cry by some communities of thinking that they have been left out. We have made strides in service delivery even though there were many aspects that caused us not to move as people would have wanted. I am glad in this IDP presentation the gaps we have in institutional arrangements have been filled and now all section 57 and 56 managers have been employed.
We still have huge backlogs in terms of service delivery priorities which are fundamental for community development, water and sanitation.
This was identified by most of wards when we were doing road shows. In road construction we have made strides even though maintenance becomes a challenge hence in this IDP we have said that let us have a R3,5m reserved for road maintenance. Most of municipal infrastructure grant is utilized for the construction of roads which we think this will change in the coming planning so as to include LED infrastructure and other infrastructure needed for community services like community halls, sport field etc.
Our revenue collection is still at low level even though we have a revenue enhancement strategy which we need to adhere to it so that there is an improvement in what we collect as revenue. We have identified bankable projects which have no funds at the moment and we all should look for investors to invest to this municipality. However the issue of infrastructure becomes central in taking forward these developmental aspects in investment perspective.
We should all endeavor to work together as partners in finding solution to our common goals where there are differences, real or perceived, let us engage in constructive dialogue in order to establish common ground and reach amicable solutions. As this municipality we will continue to be respective to construction criticism and suggestions as well as remain accountable to the communities.
We were blessed in this financial year by the visit of the president on the
23 March 2010, whom we have managed to seek assistance to some of
10
Local government elections are just knocking at the door and we know that it is the most contested terrain, it is vital important that the unity we had in this municipality is also an important ingredient for economic development and we should all strive to improve the lives of the people to be better.
The world cup is really here, let us rally behind the national team and show your support by wearing the national team colours of our soccer team and give a huge shout of appreciation whenever they score goals because we have seen improvement in their performance. I know the teams in wards have competed against each other through the mayor’s cup made the soccer lovers to feel it is really here. I know most of our communities would not be able to go to the stadiums where matches will be played they will be glued in their TV screens to see all those matches but we all would like to see the BAFANA-BAFANA making it to the finals.

Provincial Spatial Development Plan
Provincial key priorities
DPLG guide for CREDIBLE IDP FORMAT 2009
KPA 1: SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
The formulation of a Spatial Development Framework Plan is a legal requirement, which every Municipality must adhere to as part of their Integrated Development Planning process (IDP). Refer: Section 26 (e) of the Municipal Systems Act (Act 32 of 2000). The current SDF is outdated and needs to be revised as a matter of urgency. Umhlaba Consulting has been commissioned to undertake the review the Spatial Development Framework.
For purposes of the IDP review, the 2009 OR Tambo SDF has been used as the baseline information as it captured spatial analysis and land use management for Nyandeni Local Municipal area.
The revision will among other things attempt to define our urban edge, formulate a clear Land Use management plan, provide policy directive on the hierarchy of service points and settlements, identify key development corridors & strengthen links with EC – Provincial SDF and National Spatial Dev Plan. The following section reflects current status as of last adopted IDP.
PURPOSE OF SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
The purpose of formulating a Spatial Development Framework Plan for Nyandeni is to provide the municipality and other development agencies with a tool to assist them in making development decisions, which ensures that land in Nyandeni is used and managed appropriately and that sustainable development decisions and practices are implemented.
The Spatial Development Framework essentially creates a map “picture” of what the Nyandeni area will look like in the future in accordance with the Municipality’s vision and objectives, developed during the IDP process.
In so doing the purpose of the plan is to provide a spatial policy framework:
to direct development agencies in decision making which directly or indirectly impacts on the Municipal area.
To direct private and public investment to areas in that would ensure the most sustainable return of investment.
To guide development in a spatially efficient way, ensuring linkage and alignment to regional and national development policies and programmes.
Which in response to locally specific trends and dynamics in Nyandeni, directs investment to areas of greatest potential and to target areas of greatest need to alleviate poverty and promote economic growth.
This proposes strategic options to improve linkages within Nyandeni and beyond its boundaries to stimulate effective and sustainable integrated development.
To protect natural systems in Nyandeni.
SDF REQUIREMENTS
In terms of the Local Government Municipal Planning and Performance Management Regulations (R. 796 of 2001) it was determined that the Spatial Development Framework should contain the following:
a) Guiding Policies and principles
Establish clear spatial development objectives for the municipality and principles to be followed in the management of spatial development.
Identify adopted strategies and policies that will aim at achieving the spatial development objectives.
b) Key spatial development features (trends and dynamics)
Create a development perspective of the area (develop trends and dynamics).
Identify key spatial structural elements for developing the plan (map)
Mapping to illustrate the spatial features and objectives.
c) Set out basic guidelines for land use management.
Develop a land use management plan
FORMULATING SDF FRAMEWORK
1.1.3 Guiding Policies & Principles
In terms of legislation, the Spatial Development Framework within the IDP must be formulated so that it gives effect to the General Principles on Land Development contained in Chapter 1 of the Development Facilitation Act (Act 76 of 1995).
Furthermore, principles and policies formulated in the Provincial Spatial Plan provide valuable guidance in formulating Nyandeni’s Spatial Development Framework. These principles ensure that decisions are aligned with National Planning Strategies, Acts and specific development programmes.
General Principles in terms of Chapter 1 of the Development Facilitation Act are listed below:
Facilitate the development of new and existing informal settlements.
Discourage land invasion / informal settlement.
Promote integrated land development. Address land development in rural and urban areas in a holistic manner and do not discriminate between the two but rather recognize them as part of an interrelated system of settlement and development.
Discourage urban sprawl.
Maximum benefit from available resources / avoid duplication. E.g.
build on the existing infrastructure and resources and invest in resources where maximum spin-off can be generated.
Encourage environmentally sustainable practices 1.1.4 Provincial Spatial Development Plan (PSDP)
The Provincial Spatial Development Plan refers to “an embracing spatial policy that guides and co-ordinates such planning (IDP’s) according to sound norms and principles”.
The Spatial Management Approach adopted by the PSDP recognizes the limits of available resources in the Eastern Cape Province and therefore proposes a targeted and phased development approach in an effort to address basic
needs and create the environment of local economic development (in either rural or urban context).
This strategy is termed an Integrated Spatial Development Strategy and is as follows:
Focus investment and upgrade existing rural settlements, villages and towns on a phased basis according to available resources and development priorities;
Target strategic investment at nodal points and reinforce development nodes and development areas though building on strengths and bulk infrastructure; and
Focus on economic upliftment and employment creation through LED, Agriculture, SMME’s and industrial programmes.
Further more the PSDP plan proposes the following principles and strategies:
Ensure the protection of natural systems and resources
Promote tourism and areas of recreation
Adopt an hierarchy of settlements policy approach for targeting investment
Build on maintaining and developing an efficient and accessible transportation network
Align development decisions and investment with other Spatial Development Initiatives (SDI’s)
Build on industrial and mining opportunities (according to competitiveness and resources)
Conserve water resources
Foster small scale and commercial agriculture as a cornerstone of rural development.
Investment should target areas where the economic opportunities and returns are greatest.
Social expenditure on basic infrastructure for basic needs should be specified as spin-offs from economic development investment, wherever possible.
Development investment should create an enabling environment for private sector investment.
Inter-Departmental investment linkages should be identified in order to maximize benefits and achieve a coordinated effort.
i. PSDP: Spatial Development Policies and Principles
In order to achieve the most significant results the PSDP suggests that policies of investment and management should be applied at three levels:
Firstly, investment should seek to address, basic needs – secondly, strengthen local capacity by building on existing strengths and thirdly, target development zones that have the potential to attract private sector investment.
Accordingly the PSDP defines the following three levels of investment: -
Level 1: Basic Needs to All – This would fulfil basic human rights in the provision of basic services to both urban and rural areas, at a minimum level (as per minimum acceptable levels of service adopted by the Amatole District IDP Framework Committee). Backlogs in these areas, the proximity of existing bulk services and local IDP priorities would guide this.
Level 2: Build Capacity – This ensures the managed investment of public sector funding in urban and rural areas in order to strengthen local capacity, build on the strengths and opportunities, which exist, and to maximize potential from the existing infrastructure and settlement system. Capacity building implies investment at a higher level in middle order services, infrastructure and needs such as institution building (human resource training, skill transfer and community empowerment) and provision of facilities such as secondary schools, market places, taxi ranks, etc.).
Level 3: Targeted Focus Areas – This would involve the provision of funding to strategically target development zones which have development potential.
These will represent nodes or areas of opportunity, where a special focus of effort
and investment will attract interest from the private sector to invest; either in joint ventures with Government or independently, in order to develop economic growth opportunities and potential which already exists. This investment includes higher order services and infrastructure (which includes non-essential needs) such as sports stadiums, tertiary and specialized education facilities as well as investment that is likely to generate significant socio-economic development spin-offs.
(Eastern Cape Provincial Spatial Development Plan (Nov 2006) ii. Key Spatial Development Features
The development perspective is informed by the following:
a) Settlement patterns and land tenure
b) Socio economic trends: levels of poverty (poverty index) c) Current development planning initiatives in the area a) Settlement patterns and land tenure
Apart from small pockets of privately owned land in the three urban centres, namely, Ngqeleni and Libode, the balance of the land in Nyandeni Municipal area is held in terms of lesser forms of tenure – registered in the name of the state.
The figure below gives a comparative analysis of settlement types in the municipal area.

Farms
Based on the above figure it can be safely concluded that Nyandeni municipal households are largely rural. This household distribution pattern implies that there are limited opportunities for the municipality to raise revenue from the sale of services to households. Currently payment of services is only derived from mainly urban households who are in the urban formal settlements.
The entire municipal area falls within the former Transkei homeland area, with a settlement pattern that reflects a predominantly rural character. The area can be described as follows:
Scattered low-density rural settlements dominate the municipal area. These settlements are loosely scattered throughout the entire municipal area and are surrounded by communal grazing and arable lands. The levels of service are generally low, with the majority of residential structures being self-built. Apart from a few trading stores, there is little sign of any significant economic activity within the rural settlements.
Urban settlements are comprised of the towns of Libode and Ngqeleni. In comparison to their surrounding hinterland, these towns have a higher level of social and infrastructure services and hence fulfil the role of the main service centres to the surrounding hinterland.
Key issues relating to Nyandeni spatial development are listed below:
Dispersed Settlement Pattern: Pockets of developed urban centres surrounded by scattered undeveloped rural villages, which implies great costs to fulfil every basic human right to basic infrastructure and services.
Need to systematically address the fragmented nature of development to promote the integration of urban and rural areas over time (phased development approach which will optimise on existing capacity and resources to generate the most spin-off effects from investment).
A strategic approach is required, which enables geographic areas to be prioritised for different levels of investment to ensure ongoing sustainable development and which will have the most spin-off effects for continued economic growth in the Nyandeni Area.
Limited economic activity outside of urban centres
Need to build on the agricultural and tourism potential of the area and target investment to other LED related initiatives and programmes taking place outside of the urban centres that have potential for growth and to generate economic spin-off.
b) Socio economic trends: levels of poverty
In the knowledge that the majority of the population living in Nyandeni live below the poverty line and do not have access to basic services of the acceptable minimum (RDP) standards.
Possible factors attributing to the level of poverty in these areas are: -
Remote areas with poor accessibility. This is attributed to the very poor condition of roads to these areas and the characteristically hilly terrain in parts of the Municipality.
Poor accessibility renders these areas very costly to develop.
Many of the families within the rural part of the municipality were in the past supported by men who worked as migrant labour on the mines.
Subsequent retrenchment from these mines has left these communities with little means to survive.

1.2 Population & Household dynamics
The National Community survey conducted in 2007 and other sources like Bureau of Market Research reveal that Nyandeni has a population of 314 273 living in 56 851 households. This population figure indicates a slight growth from 274 416 people in 2001. The average household size in the municipality is 4 people per household.
1.2.1 Age and Gender Distribution
The gender distribution analysis of the Nyandeni population reflects a similar pattern to that of the country with females accounting for 54% and males only 46%. Since females form the greater portion of the economically active population age groups 15 to 64 years, it will be strategic for the municipality to increase their participation in local governance issues.
Analysis of the age-gender structure of Nyandeni population shows that there are more males than females in the early age groups of 0 to 4 and 5 to 14 years old. However, the figure below shows that this ratio starts to decline in the youth ages.
Observations by local people suggest that this phenomenon can be attributable to the fact that most males tend to leave the municipal area (which has lesser tertiary schooling and employment opportunities) to search for better schooling or employment opportunities in developed urban centres.
The figure below gives a comparative age-gender distribution using statistics from the 2001 census.

Female Male
According to the above figure, women account for 20% of the age group 35 to 64 years while males only account for 14% of the population in the same age group. This sudden shift in the gender balance of the local population points to
higher levels of emigration by males once they reach early adulthood. This is the age group that is normally leaving matric and seeking work or tertiary education opportunities elsewhere. This phenomenon tends to rob local labour market of potential workforce. In the elderly population age group 65 and older years women also dominate with 7% compared to 4% males.
1.2.2 Household Income distribution
Analysis of income distributions among the Nyandeni households shows that the majority (36%) of population do not access to regular monthly incomes. Another 41% have incomes of less than R800 per month which implies that more than two thirds (About 77%) of households can be regarded as indigents with access to either no income or incomes of less than R800 per month. A further 14% of households only receive a gross monthly income of less than R1600. The majority of this category is households who depend on state pensions and grants. The situation depicted in the figure below indicates that there are high levels of poverty in the municipal areas.

Monthly Household Income Distribution
Source: Municipal Demarcation Board 2004 citing census
In the above figure the remaining 10% can be regarded as lower middle to upper income households with incomes of above R1600 per month. The latter group of households provides a threshold of households who can be expected to make a contribution towards their services while the former two groups would
need special subsidy arrangements to be put in place to facilitate their access to services.
Given that only 10% of the entire household population can be expected to pay for services, it is unlikely that Nyandeni municipality may implement service delivery strategies that rely on residential cross subsidization. In order for the majority of local households to access basic services, the municipality will have to subsidize their consumption and this may prolong efforts to reduce existing backlogs or extend service to those who are currently underserved

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.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Nyandeni Municipality has three taxi rank, namely, Libode, Ntlaza and
Ngqeleni all of these facilities needs serious upgrading.
ROADS AND STORM WATER
The municipality is responsible for the construction, maintenance and upgrading of local access roads and stormwater infrastructure. In fact, roads & stormwater are proposed to be the second highest ranking priority for 2010/2011 in the municipality.
Despite the fact that over the last 3 years the majority of municipal capital expenditure went to roads, the entire road network of mainly gravel roads is generally in poor conditions and need upgrading and maintenance. This is largely due to poor maintenance which itself is a direct result of limited funds or provision for infrastructure maintenance in the previous budgets.
In the 2010/2011 financial year a budget allocation of R27’ 247, 000 has been made for roads construction. A further R72’ 617’000 has been committeed for the two out years.
An amount of R3’500, 000 has been allocated for road maintenance, a further R19’ 612,936 has been committed for road maintenance in the next three years.
This is a direct response to the need to sustain the investment made in relation to road construction in the past three years.
Council has taken a deliberate decision to use its plant for road maintenance;
this means that the bulk of new road construction will be outsourced. This will ensure optimal use of council own plant.
