AMAJUBA DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY BUDGET 2010/2011 FINAL REPORT MARCH 2010
BACKGROUND This presentation is designed to provide a general overview of the Municipality’s finances and to demonstrate the Municipality’s accountability for the money it receives. The 2010/11 MTREF Budget has been prepared in compliance with the MFMA. This is a financial plan as informed by the municipality’s strategic plan (IDP) in order to ensure service delivery to the community that will enable the municipality to meet its operational and strategic objectives for the 2010/11 MTREF period.
In view of its strategic priorities the Amajuba District followed a program of reconstruction and development that included: • the provision of basic services; • the progressive redressing of backlogs in infrastructure; • job creation; and • the enhancement of service delivery and financial management capacity. The 2010/11 medium-term budget sought to address development and transformation challenges by deliberately andPurposefully directing resources to the key priorities of the Municipalities. This included additional resources for economic development, safety and security and service delivery. Financial sustainability and viability remained the key principles and, to ensure compliance with the Municipal Finance Management Act The Municipality, having played a leading role in piloting the implementation of the National Treasury Financial Management Reforms, is proud of the continued implementation and roll-out of reforms and of the key developments and shifts that have taken place in financial management in the last two financial years.
The Integrated Development Plan recognizes that the development and implementation of the various financial planning reforms(e.g. MFMA, GAMAP/GRAP and National Treasury financial reforms will fundamentally change the approach adopted in terms of financial planning. An integrated approach when appropriating resources has become essential for sustainable outcomes, especially taking into consideration the size of the Municipalities and the diverse challenges it faces. The Integrated Development Plan was based on various factors and financial variables which ultimately influence the budget and the financial performance of the Municipalities. The following are the major factors that have been taken into consideration and that primarily determine the financial approach: • Employee-related costs • Debt recovery • Tariff increases • Cost increases • Borrowing levels • Asset management
CHALLENGES SUCCESSFULLY ADDRESSED DURING 2008/09 IMPLEMENTATION OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTING PRACTICE/GENERALLYRECOGNISED ACCOUNTING PRACTICE (GAMAP/GRAP) Although the 2007/08 financial statements had already been compiled according to GAMAP/GRAP, the 2008/09 financial statements were further improved to comply with the latest specimen financial statements issued by National Treasury. CURRENT CHALLENGES The Amajuba District is faced with the following constraining factors which impedes its ability to expand: - • High levels of poverty and unemployment resulting in high service demands. • Capital spending pressures to eradicate infrastructure backlogs. • High level of deferred maintenance, coupled with inadequate spending on existing maintenance. • Scarcity of technical staff which has an impact on infrastructure development and maintenance of assets.
