In a recent inter-governmental assessment, the Amajuba District Municipality’s (ADM) Integrated Development Plan (IDP) was placed second out of the 61 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal, with the ADM narrowly losing out to its neighbour the uThukela District Municipality. The following table summarises the scores for the top five municipal IDP’s in KwaZulu-Natal:

All municipalities in South Africa write an IDP every year to guide their strategic planning and the spending of their budgets. The Municipal Systems Act of 2000 requires all municipalities to draw up an IDP as a single, inclusive and strategic development plan, linking and integrating other plans. It is in the IDP that one finds the policy framework on which annual budgets are based, but the document contains much more than that.

The IDP contains investment and development initiatives; all the projects, plans and programmes for the ADM devised by any state organ; and key performance indicators - the scorecards by which one can determine whether the ADM as a whole, its departments and officials, are doing their job. The IDP also describes the spatial development framework (SDF), which deals with the shape of the district and the local municipalities, its roads, its settlement patterns, its need for commercial nodes, providing a blueprint for a district that is sustainable, accessible and efficient.

If you would like to see a copy of the IDP, this can be viewed or obtained at the Amajuba District Municipality’s offices in Madadeni, or it can be accessed off the web at www.amajuba.gov.za . Further enquiries can be made with the IDP Manager on the following contact details:

Every municipality must have in place the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) as a tool to monitor its service delivery.

Section 1 of the Municipal Finance Management Act (No.56 of 2003) defines the SDBIP as: “a detailed plan approved by the mayor of a municipality in terms of section 53 (1)(c)(ii) for implementing the municipality’s delivery of services and the execution of its annual budget and which must include (as part of the top-layer) the following:
(a) projections for each month of-
(i) revenue to be collected, by source; and
(ii) operational and capital expenditure, by vote;
(b) service delivery targets and performance indicators for each quarter”.
(c) ward information for expenditure and service delivery

The Amajuba District Municipality (Amajuba DM) has prepared its SDBIP as per attached document (see annexure A, B, C, D and E). The ward information is however not stipulated because Amajuba DM is lawfully not accountable in respect to ward committees.
