ENDUMENI MUNICIPALITY IDP 2014/2015
FOREWORD BY HIS WORSHIP THE MAYOR,
CLLR T. M. MAHAYE
It is my privilege to present the Final IDP for
the 2014/2015 financial year.
The IDP was compiled under challenging
circumstances. Council was challenged with a
very difficult period, where regular council
meetings did not take place, vacancies in senior
positions existed for the whole of the current
financial year and important decisions were delayed.
Against this background and a very challenging
economic period, we still succeeded to deliver services at
an acceptable level.
We have also managed to obtain an unqualified audit report for the previous
year.
The draft IDP was tabled and available for comments and further input through a
process of community consultation, before approval.
While taking into account of the constrained fiscal environment, we continue to
support Government’s commitment to broadening service delivery and expanding
investment in infrastructure.
There are certain challenges, but this IDP will take us forward and we will be
comitted to address and resolve the major challenges such as meter-tampering
and the community at large will have to co-operate in dealing with this challenge.
Should we fail to stop these unlawful practices, it will result in cash flow problems
with a detrimental effect on service delivery.
Council will have to apply all efforts to resolve these challenges before much
progress could be made in addressing other challenges like improved service
delivery and meeting the needs of the community.
We all are very aware of the demands for increased service delivery, as much as
we are aware of the fact that the needs will always be more than the resources to
satisfy those needs.

We will just have to continue applying more wisdom in spending patterns and
choices to be made on spending of available funds. Non-essential spending must
be curbed.
The IDP once again was compiled with due consideration of the Budget, with one
of the main priorities being the financial sustainability of Endumeni. Our strategy
remains to provide core infrastructure and reliable services at affordable tariffs for
our community and to improve the standard of living of all people of Endumeni.
I thank you!

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 WHO ARE WE: GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
Endumeni Municipality is located 360 kilometers South East of Johannesburg
and 290 kilometers North of Durban. The area is in the Biggarsberg Valley in the
foothills of the Drakensberg. The Municipality is generally accessed by turning
off the N3 highway onto the N11 then proceeding onto the R68 into the Municipal
area. Endumeni municipal area is one of four local authorities forming the
uMzinyathi District Municipality. The local municipalities comprising the District
are:
• Endumeni (KZ 241)
• Nqutu (KZ 242)
• Msinga (KZ 244)
• uMvoti (KZ 245)
Endumeni has the smallest population but the largest economy of the local
authorities in the District, focusing as it does on the main urban areas of Dundee
and Glencoe. For detailed locality maps of the area and a list of the farms of
which the area is comprised, reference should be made to the above-mentioned
document.
1.2 DEMOGRAPHIC/ SOCIAL ISSUES
The Endumeni Municipality (KZ 241) comprises the towns of Dundee, Glencoe
and Wasbank, together with a number of farms astride MR 33, MR 68 and DR
602. It should be noted that no Ingonyama Trust land is located within the
Municipal Area. The population of the Local Authority area, as determined in the
2011 census, was 64682 people, of which 54449 were of African origin. The
gender split was relatively evenly balanced at 33225 for females to 31637 for
males. The majority of the population (40206) was under the age of 29 years old,
with 20543 being of school going age at between 5-19 years of age.
Despite the large percentage of very young people, the population pyramid does
not indicate the normal situation of a large base with most people being in the
youngest age groups (under 4 years). In this instance, there are more people in
the age group between 15 and 19 years, than 0 to 4 years. It is apparent that the
higher infant mortality rate can be directly related to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
15% of the population of Endumeni has no education. This comprises mainly
ENDUMENI MUNICIPALITY FINAL IDP 2014/15
Page | 2
those over the age of 50 years. A relatively high percentage (14%) of the
population of the Municipal area has a senior certificate, tertiary or other higher
education. This augurs well for the future economic development of the area.
There is nonetheless a shortage of schools to serve the education needs of the
area’s population.
Per capita income is generally low, with 54% having no income, and 25, 55%
earning less than R18 000 per annum. Over 75% of the population of Endumeni
lives in formal urban housing, whilst another 10% of the community lives in
informal housing in Endumeni. Thirteen Percent of the population lives on rural
farms in the area. Present estimates are that an additional 1750 sites are
required.
1.3 ECONOMIC MATTERS
The key economic sectors in terms of the 2011 Census within Endumeni is as
follows:
• Social Services - 2,16%
• Trade - 13,64%
• Private household/domestic workers - 13,49%
• Farming - 9,57%
• Manufacturing - 7,39%
• Business Services - 4,93%
• Construction - 4,5%
• Transport - 4,48%
• Mining - 1,47%; and
• Utilities - 1,03%
This highlights the dominance of the service centre nature of the local economy,
with the social services and trade sectors comprising 35% of the economy. It also
highlights that Endumeni has a relatively well diversified local economy. Tourism
in particular, contributes significantly to the economy of Endumeni. This is
dominated by cultural tourism, bearing in mind that Dundee is centrally situated
to a number of Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer war battlefields. The local Museum,
ENDUMENI MUNICIPALITY FINAL IDP 2014/15
Page | 3
Talana Museum, is one of the foremost museums in the country. Dundee forms a
pivotal part of the northern KwaZulu-Natal tourism route, as well as itself being a
tourist destination. It is also abundantly clear that the dominance of the mining
and agricultural sectors of the early days is long gone. This provides an overview
of the context within which the review of this IDP is founded.
1.4 HOW WAS THIS PLAN DEVELOPED
The 2012/2013 cycle for the development of the 2014/15 IDP was managed by
the IDP manager who is supported by the District Municipality’s Development
Planning shared services and technical support from the Department of
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs. There is general recognition that
the process was well managed and there are effective structures in place.
Ultimate responsibility, however, still rests with the Municipal Manager.
The IDP institutional make up consist of the Municipal Manager (IDP Manager);
IDP Representative Forum; IDP Steering Committee; Endumeni council and
IDP/LED Technical Planning Session (sector involvement). These committees
are responsible for ensuring public participation; transparency; alignments;
compliance and credibility of the IDP. A key form of promoting community
involvement is through the Ward structures. Ward Committees are in place, and
meetings generally take place as per an approved IDP/Budget/Community
involvement Process Plan. These committees were utilised during the IDP
process, although their function is not to deal exclusively with IDP related
matters. The following ward committee meetings occurred and they were
specifically focused on IDP/BUDGET/PMS AND COMMUNITY related matters:
