EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iLembe is the smallest of the ten district councils in KwaZulu-Natal, extending north of eThekwini Municipality along the east coast. The northern areas of Ndwedwe, the central corridor of Mandeni and KwaDukuza Municipality are the commercial farming hubs of the district. Areas of urbanisation in the district comprise KwaDukuza / Stanger,
Mandeni, the Dolphin Cost and Nkwazi. There are informal settlements with limited facilities or infrastructural services on the periphery of the developed areas and within the towns.
With almost half the total workforce unemployed and approximately three-quarters of households receiving a monthly income below R1 600, poverty in the district is severe.
The provision of basic infrastructure is hampered by topographical restraints, low densities and low affordability levels, particularly in rural and traditional areas. Service infrastructure needs upgrading and maintenance. Rural areas are severely affected by a lack of basic services and continued service delivery backlogs. Bulk water supply is a major constraint and is in urgent need of attention. Very few rural settlements have access to household electricity. iLembe district has an average 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 38% in 1996 to 52% in 2009.
All municipalities in iLembe district obtained have improved audit outcomes over time to achieve financially unqualified audit outcomes with findings. iLembe District was not highlighted in the KwaZulu-Natal State of Local Government
Assessment in any specific category as in the most serious category of classification of municipalities, but Maphumulo Local Municipality has been identified as one of the municipalities that recorded serious challenges in most of the focus areas.
In terms of its Municipal Turn-Around Strategy iLembe has prioritised improving maintenance and reservoirs, installing generators at water schemes, as well as attending to asset register, systems and processes.
Two of the four local municipalities in the iLembe 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 iLembe
District should focus on addressing water supply, as well as improving operations of water schemes and maintenance.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview 1 iLembe District Municipality is referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Zulu Kingdom’ because of its wealth of cultural resources. There is international and local recognition and interest in King Shaka and Zulu culture and history. iLembe is the smallest of the ten district councils in KwaZulu-Natal. It extends north of eThekwini Municipality along the east coast. The district begins about 75 km north of the metro boundary and stretches some
25 km beyond the mouth of the Tugela River. The western boundary of iLembe runs roughly parallel to the coastline at an average distance of about 45 km from the coast.
The northern areas of Ndwedwe, the central corridor of Mandeni and KwaDukuza
Municipality are the commercial farming hubs of the district. These commercial areas
(31% of the land) are mainly under privately owned sugar cane. Areas of urbanisation in the district comprise KwaDukuza / Stanger, Mandeni, the Dolphin Cost and Nkwazi.
Land uses are typically urban mixed uses with high levels of infrastructural and service development and an adequate provision of social facilities and services to support the residents. Industrial development is concentrated in KwaDukuza, Isithebe and
Darnall.
There are informal settlements with limited facilities or infrastructural services on the periphery of the developed areas and within the towns.
The existence of village centres such as Maphumulo and Ndwedwe in the west and
Nyoni and Mbizimbelwa in the north depend on social services, a welfare office or a similar state service. Wholesale commercial activities have developed and the villages have emerged as supply centres and transportation hubs to the remote rural areas the district. iLembe offers easy access to the province’s other major attractions, such as game reserves, the St Lucia World Heritage Site, the Drakensberg Mountains, the battle fields and the city of Durban.
The increased focus on tourism has resulted in a substantial increase in coastal developments. The sub-tropical climate positions the area as an all-year-round holiday destination and the warm Indian Ocean provides comfortable swimming at any time of the year. Other significant competitive advantages that iLembe District offers include strong cultural and historical links to India, the United Kingdom and Mauritius; its location between the ports of Durban and Richards Bay; excellent transport infrastructure; the beautiful coastline and beaches; and the quality of its environmental control. The main urban and economic settlements are located along the R102 and north-south rail linkage, in particular at the intersection of the R102 with the R614 and
1 1 Source: Gaffney’s, November 2009: Local Government in South Africa 2009 – 2011, Official
Yearbook: p 752 - 753

R74. This includes the development of Tongaat (located outside the district) in the south, Groutville, Stanger, Darnall and Mandeni / Isithebe in the north.
Rural settlements are emerging in the areas to the west of the commercial agricultural enterprises. There are low density rural settlements in the inaccessible areas of the west.
A high proportion of the population is under the age of 34, with 49% being younger than
19. This poses challenges in relation to future education, health, recreation and other social services. The combination of population migration away from rural to urban areas and the direct impact of HIV/AIDS accounts for the negative population growth in two of the local areas. At approximately 10% and 12% respectively, the levels of illiteracy in
Mandeni and KwaDukuza are relatively low. Illiteracy in Maphumulo and Ndwedwe are higher at approximately 21% and 24% respectively. There is thus a great need for adult education facilities and programmes. In addition, access for school leavers to tertiary education is limited. The low levels of education will be a major constraint to future economic development.
Unemployment in the region as a whole stands at 48% – considerably higher than the national average of 36%. With almost half the total workforce unemployed and approximately three-quarters of households receiving a monthly income below R1 600, poverty in the district is severe. The major sectors of employment in the district are manufacturing (35.5%), community service (18.4%), agriculture (13.9%) and wholesale / retail (10.8%). A number of well established industries operate in the district, specifically in the clothing and textile sector. iLembe has sugar and paper mills, and a variety of light industries has also developed.
The provision of basic infrastructure is hampered by topographical restraints, low densities and low affordability levels, particularly in rural and traditional areas. Service infrastructure needs upgrading and maintenance. Rural areas are severely affected by a lack of basic services and continued service delivery backlogs. Bulk water supply is a major constraint and is in urgent need of attention. Some 38% of the population still obtain water from rivers and streams and rural areas either have no sanitation or rely on pit latrines. Very few rural settlements have access to household electricity. Electricity provision at schools and health facilities is especially critical. Refuse removal is limited to urban areas. Dumping of refuse has become a problem, particularly in denser rural settlements. Social facilities are generally inadequate, especially in rural areas. Housing in the rural areas consists largely of traditional rural dwellings. Urban centres are characterised by the private residential developments of the well developed Dolphin
Coast that cater for the wealthy. Surrounding low-cost housing and informal settlements have proliferated as job seekers flock to the district. Significant progress has been made in the delivery of housing to the poor in Mandeni and KwaDukuza municipal areas but limited progress has been made in Ndwedwe and Maphumulo where dispersed settlement patterns pose a challenge to housing delivery.

Source: IHS Global Insight Regional eXplorer version 574 iLembe district has an average 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 38% in 1996 to 52% in 2009.
2.2 Sanitation
With regard to access to sanitation, the district municipality’s household access to hygienic toilets has gone up from 34% in 1996 to 50% 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 30% in 2009.
2.3 Water
Access to piped water above RDP level increased from 36% to 58% from 1996 to 2009.
Similarly, there has been a slight increase as well in access to piped water below RDP level. About 25% of the households do not have access to piped clean water at all.

2.4 Electricity
The increase in electricity connections is the biggest infrastructure achievement in the municipality. In 1996, household access to electricity connections was at a lower level of
40%. Access has, however, increased over the years by almost 40% reaching 78% by
2009.
2.5 Refuse removal
Access to formal refuse removal service increased from 23% in 1996 to 30% in 2009 in the District Municipality. While this is the case, personal refuse removal went up over the years reaching 60% 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 iLembe 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.

KwaDukuza and Ndwedwe local municipalities secured financially unqualified audit outcomes from 2005/6 to 2009/10 in succession. In the five financial years starting from
2005/6 to 2009/10 iLembe district, Mandeni and Maphumulo each obtained qualified audit results twice.
4. STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENT
4.1 Overview of findings on assessment in the municipality iLembe District was not highlighted in any specific category as in the most serious category of classification of municipalities. Three of the local municipalities (Maphumulo,
Ndwedwe, KwaDukuza) have been identified as facing serious challenges. These challenges are discussed in more detail below.
Maphumulo Local Municipality has been identified in the KwaZulu-Natal State of Local
Government Assessment as one of 19 municipalities that recorded serious challenges in most of the focus areas and should therefore be prioritised for immediate intervention.
4.1.1 Governance
Maphumulo 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.
Ndwedwe Local Municipality is among the nine municipalities in KZN that require immediate support to improve their public participation processes. Some of the challenges that the identified municipalities are facing include: lack of stakeholder consultation; no structured public participation framework; lack of delivery of services;
Ward Committees being political rather than service delivery oriented; and there is a need to clarify roles and functions of CDWs.
Ndwedwe Local Municipality is one 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.
10

4.1.2 Financial Management and Viability
Maphumulo 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
KwaDukuza municipality is one of three local municipalities that have serious challenges in labour relations.
5. INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES OF THE MUNICIPAL TURN-AROUND
STRATEGY
The iLembe District Municipality identified a number of priorities on aged infrastructure in the ILembe Turn-Around Strategy. The strategy is based on improving maintenance and reservoirs, installing generators at water schemes, as well as attending to asset register, systems and processes.

7. 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 four local municipalities in the iLembe District can be classified as follow:
