EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Uthungulu District Municipality is situated in northeastern KwaZulu-Natal and is made
up of the six local municipalities. The significant economic centres that shape the district
are Richards Bay with its harbour facilities which have been the prime reason for largescale industrialisation in the district, and Empangeni, an industrial and service centre.
However, pockets of wealth in these centres are surrounded by vast areas where many
people live in abject poverty.
There are enormous backlogs in service infrastructure, especially in rural areas. An
overview of household access to infrastructure in the district shows an improvement in
access from 36% in 1996 to 53% in 2009. Water and electricity infrastructure are the
main contributor to the improvement in the district’s infrastructure in general.
All municipalities in Uthungulu district except Mfolozi improved their audit outcomes
over time to obtain financially unqualified audit outcomes. Mfolozi achieved qualified
and disclaimers between 2005/6 and 2009/10.
Uthungulu District was not highlighted in the KwaZulu-Natal State of Local Government
Assessment as in the most serious category of classification of municipalities. Three of
the local municipalties (uMhlatuze, Mfolozi and Nkandla) have been identified as facing
serious challenges in terms of governance, while Nkandla also had serious challenges
on financial management and service delivery.
In terms of its Municipal Turn-Around Strategy the Uthungulu District Municipality
identified the need for bulk infrastructure in the rural areas, as well as maintenance of
existing urban infrastructure. There is also a need for a regional site for waste disposal
from the local municipalities.
Two of the six local municipalities in the Uthungulu District have been classified as in
the category of most vulnerable by DCoG in terms of functionality, socio-economic
profile and backlog status. This profile confirms that infrastructure prioritisation in
Uthungulu District should focus on a dual strategy of urban infrastructure maintenance
and replacement, and addressing rural backlogs in water and sanitation, including bulk
infrastructure development.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview1
Uthungulu District Municipality is situated in northeastern KwaZulu-Natal and is made
up of the six local municipalities of Mbonambi, uMhlathuze, Ntambanana, uMlalazi,
Mthonjaneni and Nkandla.
A flat coastal region comprises the Natal coastal belt and the Zululand coastal plain.
Inland, the lowveld to the northeast and the Eshowe block to the west are hilly. To the
northwest the terrain is more extreme, with steeply incised valleys.
The N2 highway is a link to other economic centres, in particular the national economic
powerhouse, Gauteng Province. The most important rail link is the coal line from
Mpumulanga Province via Vryheid to the Richards Bay coal terminal.
The significant economic centres that shape the district are Richards Bay, whose
harbour facilities are world class and have been the prime reason for large-scale
industrialisation in the district, and Empangeni, an industrial and service centre whose
higher-order services attract people from many rural settlements. However, pockets of
wealth in these centres are surrounded by vast areas where many people live in abject
poverty. Rural poverty, rampant crime and the HIV/AIDS pandemic are major
challenges to be met. Richards Bay has been identified as an industrial development
zone and this is sure to boost economic activity and attract jobseekers. The district has
a climate conducive to agriculture and tourism and has significant natural resources.
Major land uses are commercial agriculture (sugar-cane in the low-lying coastal belt and
citrus, vegetables and subtropical fruit in irrigated areas), forestry (mainly in non-tribal
areas), mining, traditional farming, urban areas that are expanding and industrial
development in the Empangeni-Richards Bay complex. Manufacturing is the largest
contributor to the economy (51%), followed by transport (15.1%) and agriculture (9.5%),
although the community, social and personal services sector provides the most people
with employment, with agriculture second and wholesale and retail trade third.
The district is characterised by low levels of urbanisation; approximately 80% of the
population of 8213.39 live in the rural areas. More than 50% of the population is
younger than 19 years. Thirty-one percent have no formal schooling. A further 18%
entered the schooling system but left before completing primary school. Only 6% have a
tertiary education. Employment stands at 23.84% and unemployment at 24.18%, while
51.99% are not economically active. The road infrastructure is under increasing
pressure, particularly from heavy vehicles. The John Ross Highway and the adjacent
network are simply not able to keep pace with demands placed on them; in addition,
who is responsible for provincial and municipal roads still needs to be clarified.

There are enormous backlogs in service infrastructure, especially in rural areas. For
example, 41% of households have no access to piped water and only 17% have water
inside their dwelling. Thirty-five percent use pit latrines, mostly without ventilation, and
28% have no sanitation provision at all. Just over half of the population has electricity
for lighting, while 42% still rely on candles. Small numbers use other sources such as
gas, paraffin or solar generation.
There is a high demand for health services. AIDS-related deaths are unacceptably high,
especially among young people; however, there needs to be more community
involvement with regard to awareness campaigns. Recreational facilities are also
needed, but development is hindered by a lack of finance and a general sentiment that
these are not a priority.
The district has a broad-based tourism appeal, from bird-watching to luxury
accommodation and cultural events.
Tourism development is focused on coastal resources, eco-tourism, wildlife and
hunting. The core theme of the provincial strategy is Zulu culture and heritage and the
district needs to tap into this. The major resources to promote eco-tourism include
nature reserves at uMlalazi, Amatikulu, Enseleni, Ongoye Forest, Dlinza Forest and
Nkandla Forest.
The rugged terrain presents an opportunity to open up 4 x 4 trails.

Uthungulu district has got the third highest access to infrastructure amongst the districts
in the province. An overview of household access to infrastructure in the district shows
an improvement in access from 36% in 1996 to 53% in 2009. Water and electricity
infrastructure are the main contributor to the improvement in the district’s infrastructure
in general.
2.2
Sanitation
With regard to access to sanitation, the district municipality’s household access to
hygienic toilets has gone up from 31% in 1996 to 46% in 2009. The improvement in
access to sanitation in general in the Municipality is mainly due to the increase in the
use of pit latrines with ventilation which was around 15% in 2009.
2.3
Water
Water infrastructure is the main contributor to the improvement in the district’s
infrastructure in general. Access to piped water above RDP level increased from 29% to
69% from 1996 to 2009. Similarly, there has been a slight increase as well in access to

Assessment, 2007/2008.

piped water below RDP level. About 20% of the households do not have access to
piped clean water at all.
2.4
Electricity
The increase in electricity connections is the second biggest infrastructure achievement
in the municipality. In 1996, household access to electricity connections was at a lower
level of 39%. Access has, however, increased over the years by almost 36% reaching
75% by 2009.
2.5
Refuse removal
Access to formal refuse removal service decreased slightly from 23% in 1996 to 22% in
2009 in the District Municipality. While this is the case, personal refuse removal went up
over the years reaching 55% in 2009. The high levels of personal refuse removal must
be taken in the context of low settlement densities, where on-site disposal or backyard
burning of waste is sometimes appropriate.
2.6
Service provider
Uthungulu district does not have authority and does not perform the electricity
reticulation function. The district, however, has authority and performs potable water
and sanitation functions. The district has no authority and is not performing the refuse
removal, refuse dumps and solid waste disposal function.

Mfolozi failed to secure a financially unqualified audit outcome in the period from 2005/6
to 2009/10. On the other hand, between 2005/6 and 2009/10 Uthungulu district
consistently received financially unqualified audit outcomes. In the five financial years
from 2005/6 to 2009/10 Nkandla secured a financially unqualified audit outcome once.
The two municipalities, Mthonjaneni and City of uMhlathuze, following qualified opinions
in 2005/6 they managed to secure financially unqualified audit outcomes from 2006/7 to
2009/10.

STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENT
4.1
Overview of findings on assessment in the municipality
Uthungulu District was not highlighted in any specific category as in the most serious
category of classification of municipalities, which seem to indicate that challenges are
moderate. Three of the local municipalities (uMhlatuze, Mfolozi (Mbonambi), Nkandla)
have been identified as facing serious challenges. These challenges are discussed in
more detail below.
4.1.1 Governance
uMhlatuze Local Municipality is one of 17 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal affected by
political instability. The Provincial Report lists a number of causes of political instability
including: the lack of understanding and adherence to the roles and responsibilities of
political office bearers, interference in council matters from the regional and provincial
political structures, a lack of deliberations on matters in council, domination of some
councils by politically powerful administrations, power struggles between political office
bearers from same party and a lack of communication and public participation
frameworks creates environment for uncoordinated interaction with community.
uMhlatuze Local Municipality is one of 8 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal facing serious
challenges in the political and administrative interface. According to the Provincial
Report the most recorded complaint by stakeholders is the tendency to appoint
politically aligned Municipal Managers and Section 57 Managers. Some of the other
reasons for a poor relationship between the political and administrative components
which negatively affects service delivery are: councillors getting over-ruled by officials;
political office bearers interfering in administrative function, lack of strategic direction on
service delivery by council due to poor leadership and focus on political rule in council;
and staff forced to show political alliance to ensure job security.
9
Mfolozi (Mbonambi) Local Municipality and Nkandla Local Municipality are of 24
councils that do not seem to perform any oversight function and should be supported to
implement the oversight role. The Provincial Report states that the lack of Councillor
Oversight has emerged as the single most contributing factor to poor governance and
service delivery. A large number of Councillors appear not to appreciate the nature and
importance of their oversight role and the administration seem to ignore the need for
oversight due to the administrative and accountability implications it will have for them.
4.1.2 Financial Management and Viability
Nkandla Local Municipality is also one of 30 municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal that are
facing serious financial management challenges. The Provincial Report lists some of
these concerns, including: poor financial planning, inadequately skilled staff appointed,
lack of proper financial controls, poor financial competencies of elected representatives,
and unemployment and poverty had a negative effect on credit control and income.
There is also a general perception that councils are not transparent when it comes to
financial policies and activities and that the reason for this is to hide their corrupt
practices from the public.
4.1.3 Service Delivery
Twenty municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal, including Nkandla Local Municipality are
experiencing serious service delivery challenges. The Provincial Report is of the view
that the allocation of powers and functions between the different categories of
municipalities is impeding service delivery. This factor, coupled with the lack of
adequate funding and objective prioritisation of needs, appear to be the major factors
giving rise to service delivery challenges.
5.
INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES OF THE MUNICIPAL TURN-AROUND
STRATEGY
The Uthungulu District Municipality identified a number of priorities for infrastructure
delivery in the Action Plan for the Uthungulu Turn-Around Strategy. The need exists for
bulk infrastructure in the rural areas, as well as maintenance of existing urban
infrastructure.

Local municipalities in Uthungulu district municipality have a mix of MIG projects.
Among others are projects such as the establishment of libraries, child care facilities,
sport facilities and multi-purpose community halls. Some of these projects have been
completed, while most are under construction. The June 2011 non-financial report on
MIG states that Uthungulu district and its locals did not submit their 2011 June MIG
reports.

VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION
The DCoG Municipal Spatial Classification System was designed to develop municipal
profiles according to spatial location, based upon results from indicator sets on
functionality, socio-economic profile and backlog status. Its purpose is to inform a
differentiated approach to municipalities.
The four municipal classifications developed by DCoG are:
Class 1: Most vulnerable (57 local municipalities)
Class 2: Second most vulnerable (58 local municipalities)
Class 3: Second highest performing (58 local municipalities)
Class 4: Highest performing (58 local municipalities)
The six local municipalities in the uThungulu District can be classified as follow:
Table 6: Vulnerability Classification

From this table it is evident that two of the six local municipalities in the uThungulu
District fall into the most vulnerable category, while three more local municipalities are
classified in the second most vulnerable grouping.
