ULUNDI MUNICIPALITY REVIEW OF THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE 2012 / 2013 FINANCIAL YEAR SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS GOOD GOVERNANCE AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 98

INTER-GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, as amended places a strong emphasis on the coordination of the three spheres of government in the country. At a local government level, the Ulundi Municipality falls within the area of jurisdiction of the Zululand District Municipality. The Zululand District Municipality is the water services authority and the water services provider within the service area of the Ulundi Municipality. There are two forums established for inter-governmental relations, the IGR Forum for the mayors of the municipalities that comprise the area of jurisdiction of the Zululand District Municipality and a Technical Forum to be attended by the respective municipal managers; however, neither of these forums currently meet on a regular basis which complicates the communication processes that are essential for cooperation and coordination to take effect. In the past the sector departments of the KZN Provincial Government have delivered projects and programmes within the service area of the Ulundi Municipality without reference to the needs expressed in the IDP; in preparation for this IDP review significant contact has been made with the sector department representatives in order to promote alignment between the programmes and projects driven by the Municipality and those that are undertaken by sector departments, whether at a national or provincial level. In future it is purposed that a regular schedule of engagement between the Municipality and the sector departments will be agreed and adhered to. Among the sector departments, whether at a national or provincial level, contacted and interviewed are: Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs and Rural Development Department of Arts and Culture Department of Basic Education Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Department of Economic Development and Tourism Department of Energy Department of Health Department of Home Affairs Department of Human Settlements Department of Labour Department of Safety and Security Department of Social Development Department of Sport and Recreation Department of Transport 99
