The graph below depicts the occupation types within the Municipality.<br />

The largest percentage of people employed within the Municipality is employed as<br />

technicians and associate professionals. Only 4% of employment opportunities are found<br />

within the professional sphere. A large number of people are employed in administrative<br />

posts as clerks, which corresponds with Ulundi being the former capital of KwaZulu-<br />

Natal and currently the seat of the Zululand District Municipality. The largest economic<br />

driver within the Municipality is agriculture and the low percentage of employment<br />

within this sector indicates the seasonal nature of agricultural employment. These<br />

workers are most likely included as part of the non-classified occupation category (NEC).<br />

IDENTIFYING AREAS OF NEED<br />

The CSIR, in conjunction with the University of Oxford and the HSRC developed<br />

Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) using the 2001 Census Data. The IMD ranks<br />

wards in terms of their comparative levels of deprivation based on a composite taking<br />

into account:<br />

Income and Material Deprivation<br />

Employment Deprivation<br />

Health Deprivation<br />

Education Deprivation<br />

Living Environment Deprivation<br />
