• Cabinet has resolved to invoke section 100 l(a) in the Provincial Department of Local Government and Human Settlements after an assessment was conducted by the IMTT.

• The overall finding of the assessment by the IMTT was that the department is unable to support municipalities as required to do in terms of the Constitution due to amongst others the following:

D Failure to finalise the appropriate approved organogram D Due to this failure and lack of human capacity to support

municipalities, majority of the municipalities in the province are if;l-"_dire straits and state of collapse.

·- Subseqaent to the invocation of section 100 (l)(a) of the Constitution, the Minister of CoGTA issued specific directives for immediate imi:?r~ mentation by the De:;artment.

-• • The Current Organisational Structure caters for tf-ie l:ocal Government function consists within the two (2) Chief­Directorates, namely Local Governance; and Development and Planning consisting of 68 positions, with 23 of these posit ions vacant and 45 filled;

• The analysis conducted indicates that centralising the entire function at Head-Office presents the Department with a number of challenges which impact on its capacity to effectively monitor and support municipalities;

• The departmental capacity constraints are compounded by the lack of local government support funding, the only funding the programme receives is for Disaster Management and Provincial Infrastructure Grant. As for other support, we

rely on goods and services which is for operational costs.

' • • To address the constraints mentioned, we haYe=develo~ed a Proposed Organisational Structure for the Local Government function, in line with the Strategy of the Department, decentralises this function to the four ( 4) District Offices in the Province;

• The Proposed Organisational Structure will continue to cater for the Local Government function within the two (2) Chief­Directorates, namely Local Governance; and Development and Planning consisting of 81 positions;

• The Chief Directors and Directors (SMS) will remain at Head­Office to provide Strategic Leadership and take overall responsibility for the functions being implemented, while at an operational level, the Deputy Directors and their support staff wi 11 be reloc'""-2ed to the District Ofi~- :es. s

i . •. ..,, .! ~~~~NSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY ••• (3)~~ • This will enable the Department to operate closer to its

customers, i.e. the Municipalities as well as to have a team of dedicated employees carrying out the function focusing on all four (4) districts in the Province, at all times.

• Each district will have a dedicated team supporting and monitoring it at all times. This is expected to improve the performance of Municipalities in their role of providing Basic Services to communities in the North-West Province.

• Over and above this, we are in consultation with EXCO and Provincial Treasury to allocate funding in the MTSF for local government support.
