EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Umkhanyakude district is largely rural, Mtubatuba in the south being the only
substantial town. Low education levels and a youthful population profile emphasise the
need for a greater focus on education and related activities. Tourism is one of the
leading industries in the district, which is recognised as a significant and unique ecotourism location with the potential to be developed into a world-class destination.
Natural attractions in the district are underpinned by the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and the
Isimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site.
Unemployment and poverty are at a high level. More than 70% of the population
survives on less than R800 per month and 82.95% of households live below the poverty
line. The sanitation backlog is one of the major infrastructural challenges facing the
municipality, with Jozini and uMhlabuyalingana the most affected. An overview of
household access to infrastructure in the district shows an improvement from a low level
of 18% in 1996 to 44% in 2009. The main contributor to the increase in access is
electricity infrastructure and to a certain extent water and sanitation.
In 2009/10 all municipalities except Umkhanyakude district obtained financially
unqualified audit outcomes. Between 2005/6 and 2008/9 all audit outcomes for
Umkhanyakude were disclaimers, indicating the challenges in terms of financial
management.
Umkhanyakude District was highlighted in the KwaZulu-Natal State of Local
Government Assessment as having challenges with political instability, as well as
serious challenges in the issue of political-administrative interface. Umkhanyakude was
also among identified municipalities that have serious financial management
challenges.
In terms of its Municipal Turn-Around Strategy the Umkhanyakude District Municipality
identified a number of interventions and source funding required to address backlogs on
water and sanitation services provision. A further priority is the development of an
Operations and Maintenance Plan for the water services infrastructure. The District
must also engage ESKOM, as the major supplier of electricity, to increase the number
of connections throughout the Umkhanyakude district
Four of the five local municipalities in the Umkhanyakude 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
Umkhanyakude District should focus on addressing the high water and sanitation
backlogs, as well as improving operations and maintenance, especially of nonfunctioning water schemes.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Overview1
Umkhanyakude refers to the greenish tree with thorns (Acacia xanthophloea or fever
tree) that mainly grows in the Umkhanyakude district. Literally Umkhanyakude means
‘that shows light from afar’. The District Municipality is situated in the northeastern part
of KwaZulu- Natal, extending from the uMfolozi River up to the Mozambique and
Swaziland borders, being bounded to the east by the Isimangaliso Wetland Park World
Heritage Site, formerly known as the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, that encompasses
the entire coastline onto the Indian Ocean.
The following five local municipalities are found under Umkhanyakude District
Municipality: uMhlabuyalingana Municipality, Jozini Municipality, the Big Five False Bay
Municipality, Hlabisa Municipality and Mtubatuba Municipality. There is also a district
management area that the district municipality is responsible for.
The district is largely rural, Mtubatuba in the south being the only substantial town.
Several smaller towns are growing rapidly, such as Manguzi, Jozini, Mkuze and, to a
lesser extent, Mbazwana. The total population is estimated at over 610 000. The
population is exceptionally young, with 70% being below 18 years of age. Low
education levels (46% of people have never been to school and 66.4% of adults have a
limited education) together with a youthful population profile emphasise the need for a
greater focus on education and related activities. There is limited access to information,
particularly in the deep rural areas.
Unemployment and poverty are at a high level. Only 6.6% of the total populations have
employment. More than 70% of the population survives on less than R800 per month
and 82.95% of households live below the poverty line.
Free basic services for water, sanitation and electricity are currently being piloted.
Although progress has been made in the provision of electricity, the majority of
households (almost 80%) still have no access to electricity and use candles for lighting.
A number of projects are currently being undertaken to address the backlog. The
sanitation backlog is one of the major infrastructural challenges facing the municipality,
with Jozini and uMhlabuyalingana the most affected. A health and hygiene programme
aimed at reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases such as cholera has been
implemented.
Tourism is one of the leading industries in the district, which is recognised as a
significant and unique eco-tourism location with the potential to be developed into a
world-class destination. Natural attractions in the district are underpinned by the
Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and the Isimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site, which
have been under formal conservation since 1895 and 1999 respectively.

The district is embarking upon a craft enterprise development programme to enhance
cultural tourism through abundant art and craft activities readily available within the
district. A Tourism Plan and a Tourism Plan Implementation Strategy have been
developed and are being implemented to streamline tourism development in the district.
A number of community conservation areas such as Usuthu Gorge, Rhino Reserve,
Tshanini and others have been established by communities in a move to harness
tourism benefits. A number of large-scale tourism initiatives are underway. These
include Pongolapoort Dam Tourism Initiative, Makhathini Master Plan and the Lubombo
Transfrontier Conservation Area, which is international tourism development
collaboration between South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique. Serious marketing
initiatives are being implemented in partnership with Tourism and the Elephant Coast
Tourism Association. These include district-wide state-of-the-art information centres, a
glossy Elephant Coast destination brochure and attendance of domestic and
international trade and consumer shows.
Sodwana Bay is among the best scuba diving spots in the world and attracts a multitude
of international visitors. The district has magnificent public and private game reserves
such as Tembe Elephant Park, Ndumo Game Reserve, Mkuze Game Reserve and
Thanda and Phinda private game reserves. About 60% of the visitors to the game
parks/reserves are domestic and 40% are international. Domestic visitors are mainly
from KwaZulu-Natal. International visitors are mainly from Europe (Germany, the
Netherlands and France), the UK and the USA.
Natural resources form the basis of most of the eco-tourism enterprises in the district
and provide the impetus for hunting, game farming and subsistence and recreational
fishing. Natural resources are also used extensively for food, crafts, construction and
‘muti’ (traditional medicine).
The district and the community do not benefit from the Isimangaliso Wetland Park
Reserve because of the buffer/boundary around it. It was also stated that there is
noncooperation between the park and the district. Despite the game attractions; the
district has not fully actualised community-based tourism.

Umkhanyakude District has the third lowest access to infrastructure amongst the
districts in the province. An overview of household access to infrastructure in the district
shows an improvement from a low level of 18% in 1996 to 44% in 2009. The main
contributor to the increase in access is electricity infrastructure and to a certain extent
water and sanitation.
2.2
Sanitation
With regard to access to sanitation, the district municipality’s household access to
hygienic toilets has gone up from 9% in 1996 to 56% 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.

2.3
Water
There are lower levels of access to clean water in the district. Access to piped water
above RDP level increased from a low level of only 13% to 46% from 1996 to 2009.
Similarly, there has been an increase as well in access to piped water below RDP level
and more than 15% of households are now getting this service.
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 low level of
12%. Access has, however, increased over the years reaching 60% by 2009.
2.5
Refuse removal
There has been a slight increase in access to formal refuse removal service from 1996
to 2009 in the Municipality. Access has gone up from 4% in 1996 to 14% in 2009.
Personal refuse removal also went up over the years reaching 70% 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
Umkhanyakude district performs the electricity reticulation, potable water and sanitation
functions for the local municipalities. The district has no authority and is not performing
the refuse removal, refuse dumps and solid waste disposal function.

STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSESSMENT
4.1
Overview of findings on assessment in the municipality
4.1
Governance
Umkhanyakude District Municipality is amongst the 61 identified municipalities in
Kwazulu-Natal that recorded serious challenges requiring immediate intervention. With
regards to the issue of political instability in the Umkhanyakude DM’s council is among
the 17 identified municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal that have moderate and serious
challenges. Some of the issues given as causes of political instability in the council
include: 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; caucuses not allowing individual councilor input on service delivery issues;
council dominated by a more politically powerful administration; lack of communication
and public participation frameworks creates environment for uncoordinated interaction
with community by provincial politicians, municipal political office bearers, ward
councilors and PR councilors.
Umkhanyakude DM is also among eight identified municipalities that have serious
challenges in the issue of political-administrative interface and these challenges require
immediate intervention.
4.1.2 Financial Management and Viability
Umkhanyakude is among the 30 identified municipalities that have serious financial
management challenges. Some of these challenges include: poor financial planning;
unskilled staff appointed to do finances; lack of proper financial controls; poor financial
competencies of elected representatives; and there is a negative credit control within
the municipalities due to high levels of poverty. The State of the Local Government
10
Assessment identified the following financial management challenges raised by
stakeholders: most municipalities do not have capacity to manage the indigent; supply
chain management is too political; there is an alleged favouritism and nepotism in the
awarding of tenders; and huge funds are spend on councilors salaries while nothing is
left for service delivery.
5.
INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES OF THE MUNICIPAL TURN-AROUND
STRATEGY
The Umkhanyakude District Municipality identified a number of priorities for
infrastructure delivery in the Implementation Plan for the Umkhanyakude Turn-Around
Strategy:
 Packaging of interventions and source funding to address backlogs on water and
sanitation services provision in Umkhanyakude district.
 Development of Operations and Maintenance Plan for the water services
infrastructure.
 Engagement of ESKOM, as the major supplier of electricity, to increase number of
connections throughout the Umkhanyakude district.

In Hlabisa and Jozini local municipalities most projects are about the establishment of
multi-purpose community halls. A mix of projects is found in Umtubatuba, Big 5 False
Bay and Umhlabuyalingana local municipalities. In all the locals most projects are still at
a construction stage. The June 2011 non-financial report on MIG states that
Umkhanyakude 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)
15
The five local municipalities in the Umkhanyakude District can be classified as follow:

From this table it is evident that four of the five local municipalities in the uMkhanyakude
District fall into the most vulnerable category.
