INTRODUCTION
In terms of Section 10(7) (b) of the Division of Revenue Act No 2 of 2013 (DORA) as
promulgated in Government Gazette No 36555 dated 10 June 2013, the transferring
national officer must submit an annual performance report for Schedule 6 within four
months in respect of a province and six months in respect of a municipality after the end
of the financial year to the National Treasury.
The Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG) is a Schedule 6 indirect conditional grant
for the benefit in kind of municipalities.
The objective of this Report is to provide an annual performance evaluation report
covering the 4th quarter of RBIG funded projects, in compliance with the DORA. The
objective of this evaluation was to determine whether the progress on the project is
commensurate with the expenditure to date as well as to determine whether the project
is still on course in terms of the original planning.
This performance evaluation report, covering quarter 4 and annual report of the 2013/14
fiscal year, is for the Mncwasa Regional Bulk Water Supply Scheme, one of the
Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant projects, currently being implemented by the
Amathole District Municipality (ADM) in the Eastern Cape Province, with Department of
Water Affairs (DWA) as funder, and Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) as co-funder.

BACKGROUND
2.1
Description of Project
Mncwasa Water Supply Project is situated in the Eastern Cape along the Wild Coast
and used to be part of the former Transkei area. The area starts north of the Xhora River
and ends at the Mpaka River near Hole in the Wall. The area stretches 15 km inland
from the Coastal belt and is approximately 242 km2 in extent. There is very little urban
development with no towns within this area which consists of 54 rural coastal type
villages with an estimated population of 36 378 in 6,063 households.
The area is remote, being fairly isolated by the Mbashe River from its administrative
areas i.e. Mbashe Local Municipality in Idutywa and Amathole District Municipality in
East London. The nearest towns are Elliotdale, Mthatha and Idutywa. The preferred
access to Mncwasa is a surfaced road (N2) between Idutywa and Mthatha. At
Viedgesville there is a turn off onto the Mqanduli/Coffee Bay road and from there access
to Mncwasa would be at the Lutubeni Mission turnoff or via the Zithulele Hospital Road.
These access roads are in urgent need of repair and can be impassable in wet weather.
2.2
Project history
Water for domestic use in the area was drawn from surface water sources, i.e. streams,
rivers and other open water sources. There was generally no existing water
infrastructure in the rural villages within the project area.
The project was originally divided into four (4) phases, namely:
•
Phase 1 - construction of the Mndwaka dam, treatment works and rising mains.
•
Phase 2 - construction of the bulk gravity mains and reservoirs.
4
PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT: REGIONAL BULK INFRASTRUCTURE
•
•
APRIL 2014
Phase 3 - construction of the internal reticulation for the 43 villages (not funded
from RBIG programme)
Phase 4 - construction of the internal reticulation for the remaining 15 villages
(not funded from RBIG programme).
Due to ADM‘s policies the project was divided up into 23 projects and afterward four of
the projects were combined into two projects and ended up with a total of 21 projects.
During April 2012 ADM instructed Sontinga Consulting Services as the Professional
Service Provider (PSP) to exclude four villages that fell inside the O R Tambo district
due to the legality of cross boarder supply.
The bulk pipelines from the regional reservoir to the village reservoirs, including the
village reservoirs and village reticulations were redesigned to exclude the four villages.
The villages serviced under Phase 4 have now reduced from 15 villages to 11 villages.
Refer to figure 1 and 2 showing the change in the scheme.

Key challenges within the project
The key challenges within the project are as follows:

The Contractor for the Construction of Mndwaka Dam is falling further behind
schedule even though they have implemented two shifts working per day. The
volumes of RMC they require to place per day is around 90 m³ and for the last 28
weeks they have only managed to place an average of 56 m³ per day. Due to
labour intensive construction methods used on site placing 56 m³ per day is high
compared to similar projects where they only place between 20 and 30 m³, i.e.
the Port St John’s Dam.

The Contractor was delayed in January 2014 when they returned from December
2013 shutdown period to find out that 33 of their trained personnel were recruited
by the mining company and could not report back to work.
The Contractor submitted their rate for the construction of clay core rock fill
embankment to tie into the gravity section however the final Cost estimate needs
to be carried out to ensure that the contract does not go over budget.
To register all pipeline servitudes for the scheme in rural areas might be a
challenge but discussion with ADM and DWA need to be embarked on to pave a
way forward.

CONCLUSION / LESSONS LEARNED
5.1
Main successes and failures of the project to date
The alignment of the infrastructure constructed from RBIG funding and MIG funding has
made it possible to progressively increase the supply of water to the communities as the
phases are rolled out. To date a total of 716 communal standpipes has been installed
and commissioned, which supplies potable water to 43 villages, 4695 households and
28 170 people. This was made possible due to the fact that a temporary supply line has
been installed during the construction of the Mndwaka Dam.
The Construction of the Mndwaka Dam will take much longer to complete than expected
due to the high level of labour intensive methods of construction, but more labour will be
employed that originally anticipated.
The two additional villages namely Nkalweni and Khwezi will be serviced by the
Mncwasa water supply scheme and the contract has gone out to tender.
5.2
Ownership and sustainability of infrastructure works
The ADM is the Implementing Agent and will take ownership of the infrastructure, and
