Summary of recommendations

1. Context for the redesign
South African
municipalities
entered their
third term of
democratic local
government with
the elections
held on 1 March
2006
Whilst it is widely
agreed that the
current
institutional
model works and
requires no
fundamental
change, a
dynamic
organisation
always requires
refinement.
Recommended
changes
represent high
level
improvements not fundamental
or detailed
restructuring
The new local
government term
of office provides
the opportunity to
examine the
efficacy of the
current model
and introduce
improvements
4
Revisions for a
new institutional
model were
discussed at a
Mayoral Lekgotla
that took place
from 31 August –
1 September
2005, and at the
follow-up session
on 31 January
2006
Recommendations
relating to the high
level design are
derived from work
carried out under
the mandate of the
Mayoral Committee
meeting held in
August 2005
2. Principles of the redesign
Create an integrated and efficient high-level institutional design
Strengthen the capacity of the municipality to provide services to citizens and residents
Bring about a seamless integration of the City’s business processes
Key
principles
that have
driven the
redesign
process
include
the need
to:
Ensure an improved financial and performance management regime
Support more effective decision-making mechanisms
Design the municipal oversight function to ensure tighter control over and greater synergy
between policy and implementation, whilst not undermining the duties and responsibilities
of the boards of companies
Ensure uniformity of level and responsibility of heads of all functions i.e. all heads of an
entire function should be at level of executive director
Merge the Office of the City Manager and the Office of the Executive Mayor
Ensure the City Manager remains the accounting officer in terms of legislation
Align with the call for Members of the Mayoral Committee to have delegations from the
Executive Mayor that oblige them to have closer oversight over departments within their
Portfolio
5
3(a). Municipal entity oversight and regulation
The CoJ wholly owns those companies created in terms of the Companies Act
An organisational design is needed that creates balance between the required space for the
companies and their Boards to carry out their fiduciary duties, whilst simultaneously ensuring that as
a strong shareholder, the City maintains firm control over the logic of policy and implementation
The Contract Management Unit (CMU) and the Shareholder Unit (SHU) currently perform the
oversight and regulation role over municipal owned entities, where:
– The CMU focuses on regulation and compliance
– The SHU is primarily responsible for conducting financial and corporate governance oversight of
municipal entities
It is proposed that the oversight function is decentralized to line departments and Regions in a
manner that ensures closer alignment and integration between line function departments, Regions
and entities
Oversight of municipal entities should encompass two elements, viz. ‘overarching uniformity and
integration’ and ‘decentralised municipal entity oversight’
6
3(b). Municipal entity oversight and regulation
Uniform norms and standards for governance
models and accountability; strategic and
business plans; and monitoring, reporting and
performance management
Office of the Executive Mayor
(Central Strategy Unit)
Overarching integration in terms of overall
planning, monitoring and evaluation

4(h). Office of the Executive Mayor
In the current institutional arrangement, the Office of the Executive Mayor (OEM) and the Office the
City Manager (OCM) are completely separate (political and administrative) offices
The proposed OEM merges the current OCM and the OEM – to enhance the administrative and political
interface
This interface can provide the best basis for:
Enhancing relationships between councillors and administrators
Supporting reinvigoration of public accountability
Providing a secure foundation for improvements in operational effectiveness
Under the new design:
The City Manager serves as head of the Office of the Executive Mayor
The following functions reside within Office of Executive Mayor

43
6(v). Infrastructure and Services – Design
considerations (Cont.)
Key considerations in terms of some of these areas are as follows:
Water:
The 1997 Water Services Act required every municipality to distinguish between a Water Services Authority (WSA)
function (policy, planning, ensuring access to services, oversight of provision, reporting to national and provincial
government etc) and a Water Services Provider (WSP) function (service delivery).
The City is the WSA; Joburg Water (JW) is the WSP.
However, when JW was established in 2001, nearly all of the City’s water sector competencies were transferred to
the new utility.
There is an identified need for more research, regulation, and oversight capacity in the core
Energy:
The establishment of JORED 4, to replace City Power, requires the City to have a sophisticated policy, planning and
design capacity over the next 5 years
Due to the complexity of the sector and the number of stakeholders involved, the oversight function would have to
be done on a daily basis to ensure that there is a focus on:
– Electricity tariffs and the implications of this on the customers
– The process of ring-fencing
– Liaison with Eskom in terms of shareholding
– Liaison with the National Electricity Regulator in terms of the new regulatory requirements
– The re-examination of the by-laws in the context of JORED
Waste Management:
As with services relating to electricity and water, the City has a duty to ensure sound oversight of waste
management and planning functions.
The need has been identified for the development of waste management and planning capacity within a core City
Department – i.e. within Infrastructure and Services
