Challenges (1)

Schools Water and Sanitation Programme• Lack of water for construction meaning that contractors had to

cart water over long distances• Heavy rainfall in some regions resulted in work stoppages• Rising costs of construction materials• Shortage of construction materials

Solutions• Influence and guide procurement processes to ensure

acceptable unit costs, and on options to speed up delivery and assist in unblocking bottlenecks

19

20

Challenges (2)Bucket Eradication• The bucket eradication target was not met as in some areas water reticulation

is still required and waste water treatment works must be completed. Excavation of rock is another challenge being faced.

Solutions• Monitor progress to ensure remaining toilets are completed• Labor force increased to address the delay caused by rock excavation in Free

State

State of Infrastructure

Inability of municipalities to maintain and operate infrastructure is a challenge

Solution

A programe that is nationally driven to support LG with expertise and funding is required as an urgent intervention

20

21

Challenges (2)Transfers• Transfer of staff did not meet their target due to the delay in signing of a

Human Resource Agreement in Mpumalanga• According to the DoRA municipalities are required to report on

expenditure. 85% of the municipalities comply.• 65% of schemes were not refurbished due to due to a lack of technical

capacity constraints

Solutions• Ongoing engagements to resolve Human Resource agreements• Ongoing engagements to advise and monitor refurbishment programme • The Capacity of Local Government to deliver and the monitoring and

oversight role of National Departments to support LG
