1. INTRODUCTION
Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is designed:
To strengthen the link between local, provincial and national priorities and objectives,
resource allocation and implementation,
To provide a means whereby municipalities can maintain and communicate IDP
information, thereby supporting ease of access and use by stakeholders across all
spheres of government,
To support coordination between sectors, clusters and priority areas,
To support the timely submission of key planning information to all spheres of
government.
It therefore involves various internal stakeholders at all levels as enshrined in the legal framework.
The process plan outlines role players, responsibilities and timelines for developing the Integrated
Development Plan.
1.1. LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK
The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No 32 of 2000:
35 “(1) An integrated development plan adopted by the council of a municipality (a) is the principal
strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning and development, and all
decisions with regard to planning, management and development in the municipality”;
(b) “binds the municipality in the exercise of its executive authority…”
25 “(1) Each municipal council must, within a prescribed period after the start of its elected term, adopt a
single, inclusive and strategic plan for the development of the municipality which
(a) links, integrates and co-ordinates plans and takes into account proposals for the
development of the municipality:
(b) aligns the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan:
(c) forms the policy framework and general basis on which annual budgets must be based;
(d) complies with the provisions of this Chapter; and
(e) is compatible with national and provincial development plans and planning requirements
binding on the municipality in terms of legislation.”
In accordance with this legislation, the Mnquma Local Municipality’s IDP, as the principal planning
document, sets out the long-term vision of the Municipality as:
MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN

Mnquma Local Municipality IDP also details the:
development of priorities and objectives, which contribute towards achieving this
vision, over the Councils elected term;
strategies, which are the means by which these objectives will be achieved;
IDP programmes and projects which link to the strategies and contribute to the
achievement of the objectives.
Mnquma Local Municipality will review and further develop its IDP and Budget in accordance with the
requirements set out in the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No. 32 of 2000, the Local

outline mechanisms, processes and procedures for consultation of the community, organs of
state, traditional authorities and role-players;
identify all plans and planning requirements binding on the municipality, and
be consistent with any other matters prescribed by legislation.
Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No.32 of 2000 Section 29
“ Process to be followed-(1) the process followed by a municipality to draft its integrated development plan,
including its consideration and adoption of the draft plan, must –
(a) be in accordance with pre-determined programme specifying timeframes for the different steps;
(b) through appropriate mechanisms, processes and procedures established in terms of Chapter 4 allow
for-
i. the local community to be consulted on its development needs and priorities;
ii. the local community to participate in the drafting of the IDP;
iii. organs of state, including traditional authorities, and other role players to be identified and
consulted on the drafting of the IDP;
(c) provide for the identification of all plans and planning requirements binding on the municipality in
terms of national and provincial legislation; and
(d) be consistent with any other matters that may be prescribed by regulation”
1.3. IDP INFORMANTS
The IDP is a multi-sectoral planning document requiring inputs from all spheres of government and
community members. Local Government: Municipal Systems Act No 32 of 2000 prescribes elements

The Municipal Structures Act, No 117 of 1998, Municipal Systems Act, No 32 of 2000 (as amended),
and Municipal Finance Management Act, No 56 of 2003 are specific to local government. The
Municipal Systems Act has a specific chapter (5) dedicated to Integrated Development Plans and it is
the overarching piece of legislation with regard to development of the IDP.
National sector legislation contains various kinds of requirements for municipalities to undertake
planning. Sector requirements vary in nature in the following way:
A requirement that planning be undertaken as a component of, or part of, the IDP (like a
housing strategy and targets).
Links between the IDP and budget process as outlined in the Municipal Finance Management
Act, 2003.
Legal compliance requirement (such as principles required in the Development Facilitation
Act – DFA – and the National Environmental Management Act – NEMA).
More a recommendation than a requirement, which is deemed to add value to the municipal
planning process and product (in this case, Local Agenda 21).
These are highlighted in the table below:

7. MECHANISMS AND PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The Local Government Municipal Systems Act No.32 of 2000 Section 16:
“Development of culture of community participation-(1)A municipality must develop a culture of municipal
governance that complements formal representative government with a system of participatory governance, and
must for this purpose-
(a) encourage, and create conditions for, the local community to participate in the affairs of the municipality,
including in—
(i) the preparation. implementation and development of its integrated development plan in terms of Chapter 5
(ii) the establishment, implementation and review of its performance management system in terms of Chapter 6
(iii) the monitoring and review of its performance, including the outcomes and impact of such performance
(iv) the preparation of its budget; and
(v) strategic decisions relating to the provision of municipal services in terms of Chapter 8
MNQUMA LOCAL MUNICIPALITY – 2018/2019 IDP/PMS AND BUDGET PROCESS PLAN
16 | P a g e
(b) contribute to building the capacity of—
(i) the local community [to enable it to participate in the affairs of the municipality; and
(ii) councillors and staff to foster community participation; and
(c)use its resources, and annually allocate funds in its budget, as may be appropriate for the purpose of
implementing paragraphs (a) and (b).”
For purposes of compliance with this legislative requirement, Mnquma Local Municipality has
established formal structures for effective participation in the IDP processes. Below is a description of
the participatory function of each of the various structures established for the IDP process.
IDP/PMS and Budget Representative Forum – constituted of formal representatives of
various civic and community organisations as well as other formal structures affected by
the development efforts of the municipality such as:
o Traditional Leaders forums
o Established forums (business chambers and organisations)
o NGOs
o CBO
o CDWs and Ward Committees
The role of the IDP Forum is to verify and make additions to data collected through non-
formal participatory methods.
In addition to the formal process of representation through the IDP Representative Forum
engagement and other Council processes, Mnquma Local Municipality consults its
communities on an ongoing basis to solicit inputs in as far as the development challenges
they face are concerned. To do this in an effective, efficient and structured manner,
Mnquma Local Municipality has institutionalised a process of community engagement
through the Mayoral Imbizos. These are community meetings held at the ward level
where direct participation by communities is encouraged. To complement this process,
ward level planning where planning methods are used to gather data are utilised.
7.1. Communication
The Local Government Municipal Systems Act No 32 of 2000 Section 21
“Communication to local community-(1) When anything must be notified by a municipality through the media to the
local community in terms of this Act or any other applicable legislation, it must be done-
(a) in the local newspaper or newspapers of its area,
(b) in a newspaper or newspapers circulating in its area and determined by the council as newspaper of

9. BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS
The IDP is the principal strategic document that informs all operations of the municipality and
therefore, in order to ensure that a document is reflective of the needs of the people and a realistic
resource base of the municipality must be developed. As such, on an annual basis, municipalities

must make provision in their budgets for the development and/or review of the municipality’s IDP in
accordance with the process plan.
