- Description
- The focus of this study was to analyse and determine the challenges associated with the Chris Hani District Municipality’s (CHDM) water infrastructure provision through the Municipal Infrastructure Grant programme (MIG). Even after various interventions for infrastructure, the CHDM local municipality, still faced high water infrastructure backlogs. The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 1999 (Act 1 of 1999), contends that the National Treasury must make regulations for a range of matters to do with the effective and efficient management and use of financial resources. In terms of section 152 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, the municipality has to promote social and economic development. Mditshwa (2012:17) states that the war against poverty in South Africa cannot be over-emphasised and, although policies are developed, the main issue is the implementation of these programmes, which is still a major challenge. Chapter 7 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, states, “A municipality must structure and manage its administration and budgeting and planning processes to give priority to the basic needs of the community and to promote the social and economic development of the community”. This encourages the involvement and participation of communities in matters of local government. The notion of “bringing government to the people” has been seen as being of importance, not only in strengthening civil society but also in mobilising the population to implement the programmes of reconstruction and development necessary to transform society. Chapter 7 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, states that government must “structure and manage its administration, budgeting and planning processes to give priority to the basic needs of the community and to promote the social and economic development of the community”. The study was conducted using a qualitative document analysis, and literature review sources were rightfully acknowledged in line with research ethical requirements. With introductory contentions from different authors and researchers, this study provided v details on the policy framework on infrastructure development, in order to establish the nature and extent of the CHDM’s municipal infrastructure development plans.
