To provide a means of enforcement To ensure the reservation of land for longer-term uses A process to develop a land use management scheme (LUMS) for the Ulundi Municipality commenced late in the 2008 calendar year. A town planning scheme was developed together with a set of maps showing proposed land use. Consultation with Government Departments took place in August 2010 without any comment being received; however, during the 2011 / 2012 IDP consultation process some provincial departments indicated their desire to make comment in this regard. Traditional Authorities were consulted as one of the key stakeholders since the LUMS study includes traditional land but they objected due to land ownership issues. An approach was made to the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) to intervene in the matter; the outcome of the intervention is still awaited. Given the impasse with regard to the rural areas the Council of the Municipality resolved to limit the extent of the LUMS to the urban areas only. As a consequence, the Council of the Municipality adopted a Town Planning Scheme for the town of Ulundi only in June 2011. Details of this Town Planning Scheme, together with the appropriate maps, have been included as Annexure B attached to this IDP review document. URBAN AND RURAL NODES The town of Ulundi is situated on the R66 which connects Ulundi directly to Nongoma in the North and Melmoth to the south, then leading to the N2 which connects the town to the coastal cities. The town of Ulundi is the only formal urbanised nodes and houses all formal (first Economy) economic activities within the Municipality. The areas surrounding the town of Ulundi are characterised as large, densely populated tribal areas with an informal settlement pattern. These areas are completely reliant on Ulundi for employment, goods and services. Due to the high population density, concentration and service demands, large sections of these tribal areas can be classified as emerging urban settlements. There are a number of secondary rural nodes within the Ulundi municipal area. These comprise the areas of Babanango, Ceza, Mpungamhlophe, Nqulwane, Nhlazatshe, Mhlahlane, Mahlabathini, Zungu, Ezimfabeni, Ntintini and Stedham / Dlebe. The urban and rural nodes are illustrated in Map 1 included in Annexure C attached to this IDP review document. There is a possibility of the development of another node at the intersection of the R34 and the R66 which can serve as the gateway to the Zulu kingdom. Possibilities exist to develop the node as a modal interchange, and the development of a tourist centre to include restaurants, curio shops and an information service to stimulate the tourism industry. 116
TRANSPORT CORRIDORS The Ulundi Municipality is traversed by two corridors namely the R34 and the R66 routes. The R34 is the main transport link road between Richards Bay and Mpumalanga. The R66 on the other hand provides regional access within the Zululand District Municipality. The town of Ulundi is situated on the R66, and as the main economic centre of the Ulundi Municipality cannot harness the advantages offered by the R34. Development strategies are needed to address this shortcoming. Further, Ulundi is situated at the base of the P700 corridor which links Ulundi to Richards Bay, Ntambanana and the Hluhluwe- Mfolozi Park which presents further opportunities for tourism development. This route will provide a shorter travel distance to the Park from Gauteng and Mpumalanga. In addition, the P700 and the P701 provide access to a number of lower order nodes. These transport corridors are illustrated in Map 2 included in Annexure C attached to this IDP review document. The “Coal Line” Rail Corridor runs largely along the R34 alignment, but passes through the town of Ulundi and provides opportunities for development in the secondary sector should the possibility of importing and exporting freight through this mode of transport be capitalised on. All of the corridors mentioned above are aligned with the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) and the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS), which allows for the lobbying of corridor focused funds to be spent in these areas. INVESTMENT CORRIDORS Very closely related to the provincial economic drivers, which are the agricultural, industrial, tourism and services sectors, the economy of Ulundi, being the capital of the former KwaZulu, and the seat of the Zululand District Municipality, is driven by agriculture, tourism and the services sector. The Municipality is situated on two agricultural corridors identified within the Provincial Spatial Economic Development Strategy (PSEDS), which opens up various opportunities for the expansion of the agricultural sector, including the beneficiation of products. A freight rail runs from Vryheid, through Ulundi towards Richards Bay, and might offer other opportunities that need to be explored and exploited. To utilise these opportunities the expansion of the agricultural sector through agro processing and 117
