THEKWINI Municipality is reaping
the rewards for
excellent service
delivery. The City
scooped four awards this
month, three at the KwaZulu-Natal Municipal Excellence Awards and one at the
PMR Africa Awards.
The Municipal Excellence
Awards seeks to recognise
excellence in municipal
practices that improve
administration and service
delivery.
MEC for Co-operative
Governance and Traditional
Affairs Nomusa Dube said:
“We are recognising the municipalities who enhanced
development.”
Mayor James Nxumalo
walked away with the award
for the “Best Performing
Mayor” for his commitment
to the upliftment of communities, as well as his positive leadership and vision,
while the City’s Cornubia
Project won the award for

ect”. This multibillion-rand
public-private joint venture
provides more than 24 000
affordable housing units for
commercial and residential
use. It will also stimulate
employment and economic
opportunities.
The third award was for the
“Best Implemented Integrated Development Plan
(IDP)” which recognised
the Municipality’s efforts in
implementing this crucial
long-term plan. It guides
development and service
delivery by responding
to community needs and
achievable targets.
Nxumalo attributed these
awards to consistent com-
munity involvement. “This
was a result of collaboration between the City and
residents. We appreciate
staff members, councillors
and residents who cast their
votes. We would not have
achieved this feat without
the support of the community, especially during the
IDP Public Participation
Process.”
Meanwhile, at the PMR
Awards, Durban Solid
Waste Unit won the Golden
Arrow Award for its efforts
towards proper waste
management. The Unit has
achieved a score of 3.92 out
of five, which is regarded as
excellent and worthy of the
prestigious award.
DSW provides 100%
domestic service delivery
to the residents within
eThekwini Municipality.
Deputy Head: Strategic and
New Development at DSW
Robert Abbu said: “DSW
has been recognised due to
many programmes on the
go that promote effective
and sustainable waste management. These include
community clean-up programmes, recycling initiatives, adopt a spot, schools
and tertiary level training, as
well as promoting beautification.”

THE Department of Home
Affairs and eThekwini Municipality formalised their
partneship to implement
the national population
register at the Inkosi Albert
Luthuli International Convention Centre recently.
EThekwini Municipality will
work with local councillors,
ward committees and local
volunteers to ensure that all
citizens born in our municipality are properly and
legally documented.
This will ensure that the
Government can plan effectively and ensure that all
government services reach
the correct beneficiaries.
he was very pleased that
eThekwini had signed the
MOU with the Department
of Home Affairs.
Minister of Home Affairs
Malusi Gigaba said: “The
signing of the MOU signals
a strategic partnership
to strengthen inter-governmental relations and
enhance service delivery to
our people.”
He said the partnership will
serve to enhance service
delivery by improving the
efficiency of the National
Population Registration
Campaign Project.
DAMAGING Municipal

The Clean and Maintain
My City programme was
introduced and it is a drive
to teach citizens about the
importance of caring for
infrastructure, cleaning it
and conservating the environment.
In recent months, stealing of cables and metal
plates caused a suspension
bridge carrying the City’s
750mm diameter water
main to collapse, leaving
residents in the northern
parts of Durban affected
with limited water supply.
This is a clear example of
residents being irresponsible by destroying Municipal
infrastructure they should
be protecting for their good
and that of others.
City Manager Sibusiso

often talk about the service
delivery being shoddy while
they destroy infrastructure.
He urged residents to stop

“Imagine if infrastructure
that was developed five
years ago was to be destroyed; it simply means
that there would be no
funds to reconstruct it. As
result, further development
would be minimal because
the focal point would be to
rebuild infrastructure that
gets destroyed,” he added.
The Municipality is working towards championing
and minimising threats that
could cost the City large
sums of money in the long
run, but needs the community to play their part.

teams led by Deputy City
Managers (DCMs) engaged
with customers about their

and assessed if staff adhered
to the principles of Batho
Pele.
Some of the issues raised at
these unannounced site visits included lack of signage,
access for people living with
disabilities, and shortage of
proper seating and ventilation facilities. One of the
major issues raised was
the need for an additional clinic in the Glenwood
area to make municipal
services more accessible.
Recommendations by the
teams were submitted to
the relevant Units where
they will be implemented
over the next three years.
This included wheelchair

had helped senior management to identify gaps in
the provision of services to
communities. “Staff must
also be trained on how to
deal with the public and
about the importance of
customer service because
people need to benefit from
our services as the City,”
she added. Mayor James

did a clean-up of the area
and planted trees.
An exhibition from other
departments like Home Affairs and the South African
Social Security Agency was
held where services to the
Cato Crest and surrounding
community were provided.
The community, Ward
councillors and Ward committee members came out
in their numbers to support
this initiative.
The Mayor said that it
was important that public
servants render the best
service, but must work with
communities.
He said: “We encourage
all civil servants to take the
baton forward by giving
off their best and partnering with the people on the
ground. Let us educate our
communities on the importance of cleanliness.”
Volunteers, armed with

Every public servant should work in
accordance with the 11 Batho Pele Principles:
1. Consultation
You should be consulted
about the level and quality
of the public services you
receive and should be given
a choice about the services
offered;
2. Service Standards
Citizens should be told
what level and quality of
public services they receive
so they are aware of what to
expect;
3. Access
All citizens should have
equal access as they are
entitled to it;
4. Courtesy
Everyone should be treated
with courtesy and consideration;
5. Information
Full and accurate information must be supplied to the
customer;
6. Openness and
Transparency
Citizens should be told
about how the Municipality
is run, how much it costs
and who is in charge;
7. Redress
If the promised services
are not rendered, citizens
should receive an apology,
a full explanation and a
speedy, effective remedy;
8. Value for Money
Services should be provided economically and
efficiently;

NMT is to have a
safe, functional
and attractive
environment for
NMT users that will give
people good access to
opportunities, an improved
quality of life, stimulate
growth and create a sustainable City for the future.
EThekwini Mayor James
Nxumalo recently launched
the NMT network at the
Green Hub on the banks of
uMngeni River, where he
arrived dressed in cycling
gear and riding a bicycle.
He said the success of the
NMT will be judged on how
it delivers on four pillars.
“Its ability to connect
people to places and communities, how it enhances
lifestyles and results in an
environment that is safer,
how it promotes economic
growth and prosperity and
whether it is delivered in
an efficient and sustainable
way,” he said.
Since 2010 to date, about
R50 million has been spent
on the establishment and
upgrade of pedestrian and
cycling routes. The City

walkers beyond the Beachfront precint, which has

“We will be creating NMT
networks across the City
that will include uMlazi,
KwaMashu, Chatsworth,

The long-term goal is that
as these intra-city mini
networks grow, they will
connect various areas of the
City,” Nxumalo said.
Non-motorised transport
modes are healthy, non-polluting, versatile and reliable.

Crackdown on overloaders of learners
JESSIE SINGH
A SPECIAL team from Metro
Police is cracking down on
illegal scholar transporters
in the eThekwini region.
In their quest to promote
road safety and eliminate illegal learner transportation,
the Metro Police usually
confiscates about 50 empty
beer crates on a daily basis,
which are used as makeshift seats in taxis.
Often there are situations
where a taxi is involved in
an accident and 20 passengers are injured in a vehicle
certified to carry 15.
Metro Police Superintendent Eric Khuzwayo urges
the public to report overloading.
“Take down the registration
plates and call our control
room on 031 361 0000,” he
appealed.
‘Operation Omalume’ is an
on-going scholar transport
blitz targeting illegal operators who are loading children in bakkies and goods
vehicles instead of adhering
to the legal requirements.
AS SOUTH Africa celebrates
National Transport Month,
eThekwini Transport Authority (ETA), the KZN Department of Transport and
the Passenger Rail Agency of
South Africa, are conducting
road safety campaigns in
public transport ranks.
The campaigns will take
place until the end of October with the aim of creating
awareness around pedestrian and driver safety.

He said: “The majority of

Breakthrough in jobs for sale saga
JESSIE SIGNH
City’s climate change
strategies an eye-opener
JESSIE SINGH
SEVENTEEN provincial
municipalities attended a
three-day day workshop
last week to learn about the
ground-breaking initiatives
and strategies adopted by
eThekwini Municipality to
combat climate change and
to harness renewable energy
in the country.
The Municipality, in partnership with Local Governments for Sustainability
– Africa (ICLEI – Africa),
hosted the knowledge-sharing exchange session, which
was facilitated by the Municipal Institute of Learning
(MILE).
Manager in the eThekwini
Municipality’s Climate Protection Unit Sean O’Donoghue said climate change
adaptation is essential to
local government as it is
the closest link between the
Government and citizens.
He added that local governments are among the first
responders to the impact

THE Municipality, working
together with the South African Police Service (SAPS),
have made a breakthrough
in the jobs for sale saga after
one person was arrested last
week.
The arrest follows an intense investigation by City
Integrity and Investigations
Unit (CIIU) after numerous
complaints were received
from members of the public
who have been swindled by
people who promise to give
them jobs at the Municipality.
Investigators received a tip-
off from a member of the
public about a person purporting to be a Municipal
employee, demanding to be
paid money in order to find
a job for the victim. A trap
was set up and an exchange
took place outside City Hall.
The culprit was arrested on
the spot.
“We would like to thank
members of the public for
their co-operation and for
coming forward with information that has led to the
arrest,” said Mbuso Ngcobo, the Head of CIIU. “The
Municipality has recently
issued several warnings to
the public to be aware of
fraudsters who use different modus operandi to rob
victims.”
Last month, the Municipality became aware of
fraudulent advertisements
for “Municipal vacancies”
placed on the Gumtree and
AdsAfrica websites. These
advertisements always include a fee to be paid by the
applicant in order to register
or apply.
The public is urged to continue to report these cases
to the City Integrity and

Public transport
is everyone’s
business
O
CTOBER is
celebrated
as Transport
Month in
South Africa.
It is a period when we
remind ourselves about
the importance of road
safety for both pedestrians and motorists.
Over the years the emphasis has gone beyond just road
safety messages as we now look at
the overall transportation system,
with the main focus on improving
the public transport offering for
our residents.
As eThekwini Municipality we
have already taken giant steps
towards ensuring a reliable wallto-wall public transport system
through the R20 billion investment in the Integrated Rapid
Public Transport System (IRPTN) –
Go!Durban. A reliable and efficient
public transport system does not
only link communities and parts
of the City that have been disconnected for decades, but it is also
the cornerstone of our economy.
This has proven to be the main
feature of every successful city in
the world.
In the same vein, the City is also
promoting the use of non-motorised transportation, including
walking, bicycles, skateboards, etc,
and we are providing dedicated
cycle lanes to ensure that residents
have a safe place to cycle to their
places of work. As the first citizen
of the City, I have personally taken
up cycling as a regular routine
to encourage a healthy style of
living and contribute to lower-
ing the carbon
footprint in our

Meanwhile, the
past week ended on a high note for
the City when we received three
more awards in the Municipal
Excellence Awards that was hosted
by the KwaZulu-Natal Department
of Corporate Governance and Traditional Affairs. The three awards
are Best Implemented IDP: for the
overall implementation of service
delivery programmes as outlined
in the Integrated Development
Plan and in keeping with national
government’s priorities; Best Community Project: for the successful
launch and implementation of the
multibillion-rand Cornubia Human Settlements project, which is
expected to provide more than 25
000 housing units for the people
of eThekwini and the Best Mayor
in the KwaZulu-Natal province, as
voted for by the people of this City.
This category serves as an assurance and a reflection of growing
levels of satisfaction from our
constituencies and furthermore,
serves as motivation for us to keep
reaching for the skies in our quest
to move the City forward.
We thank our citizens for showing
confidence in our administration
and I urge you to work with us to
resolve service delivery backlogs
and bottlenecks.

to bring back glory days in

one of the popular sports in

“We want to encourage

basketball. This is also to ensure that the youth are kept
busy through sports so that
they can also avoid drugs
and criminal activities.”
Rising Stars captain Lungelo Makhathini said the

them with such a platform.
“We hope that such pro-
