THE VISIONS AND GOALS
A vision is a statement of the
desired long term development
of the municipality based on the
identified strategic issues and
related to the specific conditions
in the municipal area. Visions
should be short enough to
become popular, but specific
enough to refer to the
characteristics, problems and
potentials of the municipality.
They should be phrased in a
way to be understood by
everybody.

CORPORATE VISION STATEMENT
The formulation of development of strategies must take place within the context of the District Council 22
Corporate Vision. This vision was developed by Councillors and officials representing the District Council
and the various local councils at a workshop held early in 2001. It expresses the view as to what the
leadership of District Council 22 will aim to achieve through its future activities. The corporate vision
states that:
UMGUNGUNDLOVU DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY WILL EVOLVE INTO A DYNAMIC METROPOLITAN AREA
AND THE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL OF KWAZULU-NATAL WITH A VIBRANT ECONOMY, INTEGRATED
SERVICE DELIVERY AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL ITS PEOPLE.
The Mission established to guide the activities of Council in achieving the vision states that:
THROUGH SOUND GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION ENSURE THE PROVISION OF
EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE SERVICES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

THE DECISION SUPPORT FRAMEWORK
This is a basic overarching
framework that needs to be in
place to ensure that the District
Municipality can fulfil its allocated
functions and achieve in the key
performance areas. It is referred
to as the decision support
framework as any development
related decision-making will take
place within the context of this
overall framework.

COMPONENTS
COMPONENT
DESCRIPTION
Spatial Development Framework
The primary aim of the spatial development framework (SDF)
is to create a competent district spatial structure. The SDF
promote improved systems of access, link settlements, guide
investment and create a overall system of opportunity.
Planning / Service
Standards
Planning standards establish basic minimum levels of services
which the District will set out to achieve. It represents an ideal
and may not be achieved in the medium term. Planning
standards are linked to the spatial development framework and
encourages orderly spatial development.
Financial Strategy
Funding is essential for both the ongoing operation of the
council as well as the implementation of development, i.e. the
core function of the District. A broad strategy identifying
approaches to ensuring the availability of funding is required.
Corporate
Development
The necessary institutional systems and structures must be in
place for implementing the IDP. Clarity must therefore
specifically exist on roles and responsibilities and how
performance will be managed.

developments, re-active approach, “willing-buyer willing-seller”,
lack of clarity on products
Results: Unsustainable settlements, artificial migration,
uncoordinated development

The HIV/AIDS epidemic affects all sectors of society within the District. As
there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS it will continue to also impact negatively
on all development sectors, i.e. social, economic, infrastructure and welfare

those already infected or affected within the context of the Bill of Rights are of
great importance.

stigma associated with HIV/AIDS, approach to relationships, promiscuity,
unsafe sex, unprotected sex, gender issues, no cure exists. Results: Lack of
formal health care facilities, alternative support systems not established,
cemeteries no capacity, high number of AIDS orphans, impact on all
development sectors.

STRATEGY 14.2: PROMOTE MAJOR AND COMMUNITY TOURISM
INVESTMENT
DESCRIPTION:
Although the national and district’s agricultural activity continues to
decline, it contributes significantly to most of the local economies
suggesting that it has an important role to play in the livelihoods of
the people of the district. It is for this reason that it is felt that
investment into the sector should continue. However, investment
should focus on agro-processing as a means of generating higher
levels of income.
IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK

RESP.
1. District coordination of CTFs
2. Develop database of tourism opportunities
(link in Dbn market)

STRATEGY 14.3: DIVERSIFY AND PROMOTE AGRICULTURAL
DEVELOPMENT
DESCRIPTION:
Manufacturing is the dominant economic sector in the district.
However, its performance has declined as a result of global
competition following trade liberalisation in the country. Investment
in manufacturing should be encouraged as it has potential to
create jobs on a relatively large scale, more so if interventions such
as SMME development and outsourcing are explored.

markets (e.g. flowers, bees, aquaculture)
