The local government communication system Communication structures, systems and processes at local government level are in the formative stage and may not be well capacitated to meet the communication challenges that play themselves out from time to time. The Municipal Structures Act, 1998, Municipal Systems Act, 2000, the Access to Information Act, 2000 and the Constitution of South Africa,1996 place unique obligations on local government communicators and oblige high levels of transparency, accountability, openness, participatory democracy and direct communication with the citizenry in improving their lives for the better. The involvement of local people as agents of social change is significant in the implementation of the broad Government Programme of Action in general and that of local government in particular. The challenges of local government service delivery are inextricably linked to the concrete building of partnerships. The communication system should enable local government to communicate in an efficient, co-ordinated, integrated and coherent fashion.

7. TOWARDS ACOMMUNICATIONSYSTEM AT LOCALGOVERNMENT

7.1. The local governmentcommunication system

• Communication structures,systems and processes at localgovernment level are in theformative stage and may notbe well capacitated to meet thecommunication challenges thatplay themselves out from timeto time.

• The Municipal Structures Act,1998, Municipal Systems Act,2000, the Access toInformation Act, 2000 and theConstitution of SouthAfrica,1996 place uniqueobligations on localgovernment communicatorsand oblige high levels oftransparency, accountability,openness, participatorydemocracy and directcommunication with thecitizenry in improving theirlives for the better.

• The involvement of localpeople as agents of socialchange is significant in theimplementation of the broadGovernment Programme ofAction in general and that oflocal government in particular.The challenges of localgovernment service deliveryare inextricably linked to theconcrete building ofpartnerships.

• The communication systemshould enable localgovernment to communicate inan efficient, co-ordinated,integrated and coherentfashion. Building capacity, bothhuman and capital, in the localgovernment sphere isfundamental to ensuring thatthe central message of thegovernment as outlined in boththe President’s SoNA and thenational GCS, iscommunicated in anintegrated, consistent and wellco-ordinated manner.

7.2. Partnership with themedia

Local media consists of thosechannels communities use to shareinformation. These channels mayinclude community radio stations,community newspapers andmeetings such as an Indaba orMakgotla.

• It is necessary to engage thelocal media to reportobjectively and accuratelyaround rural developmentalprogrammes.

• Communicators must recognisethe need to build confidenceand trust in local government,and further reaffirm thecentrality of lending a hand tocommunicate a message ofhope around governmentservice delivery.

language radio stations toensure that local governmentmessages are communicated ina way best understood by thetarget audience.

• Capacitate and build aprofessional cadre ofcommunicators the localgovernment who will be able toengage the media effectivelyand efficiently in the process ofsocial change.

• It is important for localcommunicators to be able toanalyse the local mediaenvironment and respondeffectively when questionsabout service delivery arise,often out of negative mediareporting. Such a role is usuallyheightened during electionperiods as issues of servicedelivery at local levelsignificantly impact therelationship with the media.Guidelines for governmentcommunicators during anelection period are issued bythe GCIS and should becomplied with by localgovernment communicators.(See page 14).

Important actions to ensure aneffective partnership with the mediainclude the following:

• Building positiveworking relationshipswith the media

o Engage in media outreachprogrammes

o Formulate guidelines formedia outreachprogrammes

o To formulate a draft mediapolicy and strategy

o Establish local Press Clubso Develop guidelines.

• Spokesperson

o Make modelrecommendation/s onresponsibility andguidelines.

• Promotion of Access toInformation Act, 2000

o Awareness programmeo Develop guidelines.

• Monitoring

o Ensure proper monitoring ofthe media environment todevelop timely responses.

7.3. Capacity-building forlocal governmentcommunication

Capacity-building entails buildingtools, skills and support to enablecouncillors and officials to do theirwork effectively and efficiently.There is a need to create anenabling environment for structuresand processes for coherentcommunication.

The following were identified askey skills needed to build capacityand consolidating the localgovernment communication system:

community liaison; networking;facilitation; negotiation; research;media liaison; communicationplanning and strategy; eventsmanagement; understanding ofgovernment policy and linguistic orcommunication skills.Important capacity-buildinginterventions for local governmentcommunication include the following:

The local government systemhas to meet the informationneeds of all sectors of societyby promoting active andpopular involvement of thepeople in the practicalimplementation of government’sProgramme of Action.There is a need to buildcapacity for both localgovernment communicators andofficials with a view to equipthem with the requisite skills tocommunicate simple messageseffectively.Municipalities should providefinancial resources for humanresource development,communication infrastructureand support.The utilisation of Informationand Communication Technologyand the creation of anelectronic distribution list forlocal governmentcommunicators will helpfacilitate rapid responsecapacity to issues that mayarise in the communicationenvironment.The GovernmentCommunication and InformationSystem (GCIS), the dplg, SouthAfrican Local Government

Association (SALGA) andprovincial HoCs should ensurethat the GovernmentCommunication System andprovincial communicationstrategies help shape thecharacter and nature of thelocal governmentcommunication system in orderto ensure that governmentcommunicates with one voice.This would be aided by theeffective use of all forums /platforms where co-ordinationand networking can take place,both in a formal and non-formalway.

7.4. Enhancing citizens’participation

• Communication is central to localgovernance and the provision ofquality services to the citizenry.This is largely as a result of therole it plays in mobilisingresidents to participate incommunicating a message ofhope about the progress,challenges and opportunities inbettering the quality of life ofpeople in communities.

• Letsema (communal volunteerism)and Vuk’uzenzele (arise and act)campaigns provide opportunitiesfor municipalities to promote andenhance citizen participationand direct communication.Municipal outreach programmesare fundamental for participatorydemocracy and interactivegovernance. All municipalities promoteinteractive governance and

communication through Izimbizoto promote direct communicationwith the citizenry around theimplementation of theGovernment Programme ofAction in the language spoken inthat municipality. WhereMunicipal Outreach Programmesdo not exist, they can bedeveloped as effective two-wayinteraction vehicles around thecommunity development projects,economic opportunities andespecially IDP processes.

• Municipalities could effectivelyutilise MPCCs as places ofDevelopment Communicationand increased dialogue with thepublic.

• Build partnerships with thecommunities, NGOs, community-based organisations (CBOs),faith-based organisations (FBOs),trade unions, schools and allsocial formations in thedevelopment, implementationand monitoring of IDPs and othercommunity projects, which maybetter the quality of life ofcommunities.

• Municipalities could use MPCCsand community halls for livetransmissions of, for example, theSoNA and Budget Votes – toensure that people are involved,and participate in discussionsthat shape and enhance theirlives.

The ways of increasingcitizen participationmay include:

• Adopt Letsema in accordancewith the theme months toheighten communication, andalso through private-publicpartnerships to enablecommunities to become theirown governors in the processof social change.

• Outreach programmes at wardand municipal level help topromote participatorydemocracy, two-way interactionwith the citizenry andinteractive governance aroundcommunity developmentprojects and economicopportunities. Buildingpartnerships with thecommunities, NGOs, CBOs,FBOs, trade unions, schoolsand all social formations andcommunity media assists inmobilising citizenry support foroutreach programmes.

• Izimbizo to promote directcommunication with thecitizenry on governmentprogrammes, supplemented bythe use of MPCCs as aDevelopment Communicationmethodology.

7.5. Structures and systems

The establishment of a system ofgovernment communicators haslargely focused on national andprovincial spheres of government,as these were historically better

resourced and structured. Localgovernment communicators were,and to a large extent still are,public relations, marketing andmedia functionaries. Targetaudiences to be served by the localgovernment communication unit arehowever, more diverse and requireco-ordination and integration ofcommunication across themunicipality.

• Communication units andstructures are structured in amanner that ables them to servea number of target audiences(internal and external) and meetthe communication objectives ofthe local government. It is atrend that units are ideallylocated in the office of theMayor, with strong links to theOffice of the MunicipalManager.

• A SALGA Communicators’Conference is envisaged as anannual event, which will amongothers, address the alignment ofmunicipal communicationstrategies with the provincialand national communicationstrategies in accordance withthe core message pronouncedin the President’s SoNA.

• The GCF meets quarterly toprovide a platform forgovernment communicators toplan and identifycommunication opportunitiesacross all spheres and sectorsof government throughsubstantive discussions and jointplanning to fulfil the

Government’s commitment toaccelerate service delivery.Mechanisms to strengthen theintegration of local governmentinto the GCF are beinginvestigated.

• All municipalities shoulddevelop their owncommunication strategies, andensure alignment with thecentral message of theGovernment every year. In thisregard ProvincialCommunication Forums (PCFs)are encouraged to establishCommunication StrategisingResource Teams (CSRTs). TheCSRT is a mechanism (possiblya subcommittee of the PCF tofacilitate communicationstrategising sessions formunicipalities at local anddistrict level. Such a core teamcan comprise communicatorsfrom all three spheres ofgovernment in the province andrelevant parastatals. A bestpractice example is operationalin the Eastern Cape.

• Provinces should establishSALGA provincial structureseither as a stand-alone structureor integrated with the PCF.

• Districts are encouraged toestablish a DistrictCommunicators’ Forum (DCF),to address some of thefollowing communication tasksat local level:

establish a forum/networkrepresentative of local

Important actions to ensure aneffective system and processes inlocal governmentcommunications, include thefollowing:

Communications should beone department/unit and not

divided between politicaland administrative structures.

Communication should belocated within the office ofthe Executive Mayor/Mayor,and take direction from theMayor. However thereshould be strong linkageswith the MunicipalManager/City Managerand the staff should reportadministratively to theMunicipal Manager/CityManager.

The HoC should be part ofthe decision-making processof management. He/Sheneeds to advisemanagement about bestcommunication practice andto alert communication staffabout breaking news orpotential alert situationsarising from managementmeetings and discussions.This allows for rapid, pro-active response to the mediaand adds to the credibilityand image of themunicipality as one which iswell organised.

8. Marketing andadvertising

Bulk-buying contractIn 1998, the GCIS initiated acontract for the bulk buying ofmedia space and time. Thisservice was established in linewith the Comtask Report thatfound that ad hoc advertising bygovernment was wasteful and thatwith better media planning andcentralised buying, substantialsavings would accrue forgovernment.

The pooling of government’sannual advertising expenditure inpursuance of cost savings anddiscounts brought about theestablishment of the facility forgovernment.

Currently, more than 14departments participate in thecontract and are thus authorisedto utilise the GCIS media buyingdelegation. To promote rationaluse of resources and consistencyin pursuing media procurementpractices that further promoteequitable targeting ofcommunication, it is of criticalimportance that all departmentsshould participate in government’sbulk-buying contract.

8.1. Contributions to thetransformation of theadvertising industryprocess

The GCIS, in collaboration with themedia bulk-buying agency, prioritisesequitable distribution of adspend

through the following tactics:• Proper target audience

segmentation to ensure thattarget audiences fallingwithin LSM 1 – 4 groupingare accessed in accordancewith their mediaconsumption habits.

• Post-campaign analysis todetermine value for money.

• Monitoring government’sadvertising expenditurepatterns on a monthly basisto promote use of the mostappropriate channels, andnote any variations.

• Tailoring messages tospecific groups along thelines of language andaccess to resources.

8.2. Mechanisms to monitorand facilitatecompliance

• Departmental HoCs’compliance will be monitoredthrough the Peer ReviewSystem.

• Annual or bi-annual surveys willbe done to track governmentadspend against theAdvertising TransformationIndex report baseline research.

• Advertising expenditurepatterns will be monitored on aquarterly basis, and apresentation will be made tothe GCF. Departments which donot participate in the GCISmedia bulk-buying facility willbe required to submit quarterlyreports to the GCIS’Directorate: MAD.

• All HoCs will be required to

report on the implementation ofthe Values Statement of themarketing and communicationsindustry, adopted on 23 April2003, and to monitorcontributions towards thetransformation process.

• The GCIS will facilitateworkshops and other capacity-building initiatives for allcommunicators to ensure thatthey are kept informed of thedevelopments in the industry.

• The GCIS, through the mediabulk-buying facility, will assistdepartments to develop realisticstrategies and plans, facilitatepre-testing of messages andactual placement, and conductpost-campaign analyses tomeasure impact against setobjectives.

8.3. How to launch anawareness campaign

The Minister has asked you to headthe team that will be responsible formarketing and advertising. This maylook like a daunting task but if youfollow the friendly advice, you will beable to achieve your communicationobjectives.

A good starting point to launch anawareness campaign is abrainstorming session with your team.The session should focus on thefollowing:

o set clear objectiveso iIdentify target audiences. (You

may request the GCIS’Directorate: MAD division toprovide available mediaresearch findings)

o develop key messageso adopt a budget o link the budget to specific

marketing and advertisingactivities

o project implementation plan.

Basic steps to maximise advertisingand marketing in governmentcommunication:

REMEMBER!Your objective is to alter theenvironment in which youcommunicate by eliciting favourableresponses from your audience andinfluencing their behaviour withoutresorting to propaganda.

Cost-breakdown structureThis includes a number of specificactions necessary to determine the costof each task and the project as awhole. This task requires that the costallocated to each task ultimately rollsup to an approved total cost. Thecomponents of this process are:

(a) Estimating costso identify similar previous

projects and obtain the costdata

o identify similarities anddifferences between the currentand past projects

o adjust the cost estimates of thecurrent project to suit costfluctuations

o obtain the approximate ratesfor each major activity or costdriver

o document the total costestimates

o compile a resourcemanagement plan, which

should include a staff andinfrastructure requirements plan,and total project cost estimates.

(b) Compiling a budgeto summarise project cost

estimates by time periodso create an expenditure plan by

performing the following:– Identify items, which would

require tender procedures– determine when these items

must be ordered or purchased– collate the expenditure plan

and the cash flow statementinto a project budget.

8.4. Media buying

When buying space in the media forpromoting departmental activities andprogrammes, remember that you aredealing with public funds and shouldtherefore ensure that the money spentis justified by your predeterminedoutcomes.

Procedures for bulk-buyingand advertising:The GCIS has developed the followingguidelines and requirements throughwhich the best value can be extractedfrom the huge financial investment inadvertising.These guidelines are an attempt to definethe very best working practice tominimise the potential for financial riskand fulfil the vital requirement ofgovernment to communicate with itscitizens.

Disclosure of budgets The very first process to be completedin order to secure the levels of bulk

discount that are appropriate to theGCIS is the full and early disclosure ofthe total financial investment that hasbeen budgeted for the forthcomingfinancial year.

Media modus operandiWith the wealth of communicationchoices available to reach a giventarget market, it is essential that themedia planner is involved in thecampaign development process fromthe beginning. The overall teamworking on the GCIS will consist offour principals, namely: DepartmentalHoCs, the GCIS, creative agency-/creative source and the mediaplanning and buying agency.

Interaction between departments, theGCIS and the media agency.

Stage 1. Planning and buying – Media strategy

Stage 2. Planning and buying. Tactical media planning andbuying

Stage 3. Campaign monitoring

Stage 4. Financial and billingprocedures.

Preparing a brief:

o Who should participate?All stakeholders involved in thecampaign should be present at thebriefing. These should include theHoC or any designated person, theGCIS client co-ordinator, theappointed media planning andbuying agency, and the creativeagency.

o When should it takeplace?There is no standard timeframe,except that it should always takeplace as early as possible.

o Who is responsible forwhat?The media planning and buyingagency is appointed as the solemedia strategic and tactical mediaagency for the GCIS and as such,is paid a fee to provide its services.The appointment is made on thebasis of competency and suitabilityfor the task.

o Content of the briefThe following is a checklist thatincludes all the elements requiredby a media agency to deliver theappropriate media strategy andtactical plan that will guide thebuying of the media time andspace required to deliver thecampaign results. Foradministration purposes, thefollowing generic information isrequired:o campaign brief o budgeto date o department/s, section (if

applicable) o campaign o control number o issued by o requested deadlineo agreed deadline.

What are the next steps?Once the brief has been received andaccepted by the agencies, worktoward the delivery of the

communication campaign will begin.At all times the departmental co-ordinator and relevant GCIS officialshould make themselves available tothe agencies to answer questions thataffect the effectiveness of thecampaign. This is just the beginning ofthe communication process and thebrief can often be seen as the startingpoint from which the final campaignwill evolve.

The media buying department will thenbook and confirm space/time, checkthe campaign for clashing interestsand issue the creative agencies withmedia chase lists detailinginsertion/flighting dates,sizes/duration of advert and materialdeadlines. The creative agency willthen supply the media buyer withTV/radio flighting codes and print keynumbers/captions.

The media buyer will then prepareand issue flighting schedules and copyinstructions to the relevant mediaowners. In the event of anymisflightings or poor reproduction, themedia buyer will then negotiatecompensation and advise the GCISaccordingly.

o Issuing of purchase ordernumbers

Each approved media schedule,whether it be TV, print, radio orcinema, requires its own individualpurchase order number which is to beattached to the schedule at the time ofsigning off by the GCIS. This purchaseorder number is essential in that itprovides physical proof that the buyingagency has received approval tosecure the time and space as detailedon the Implementation Plan and Buying

Brief. Without this purchase ordernumber they are not in a position tosecure and confirm time or space.Before order numbers are issued,departments must transfer funds to theGCIS account.

o Penalties for late paymentOverdue payments will be reconciledand charged at 2% over the standardbase rate.

o Reconciliation of accountAny debits or credits passed for aspecific month will be included in thefollowing month’s account.

8.5. Distribution

If your marketing strategy includes thedistribution of material to your targetaudiences, do consider the following:o ensure that the material is tailored

to the needs of your targetaudience.

o your method of distribution musttake into account the location ofyour audiences (urban-rural divide),language, gender and culturalissues.

o where appropriate the materialmust be distributed electronically.

o since distribution can be a timeconsuming, costly and labour intensive activity, you may want toemploy the services of a reputable distribution agency.Consult with the GCIS with regard to suitable agencies.

8.6. Managing the CorporateIdentity of the Government

What is Corporate Identity? Every organisation, company or brand

has a distinct identity that differentiatesit from competitors. It allowscustomers, audiences, suppliers,stakeholders and staff to recognise,understand and clearly describe theorganisation concerned. The complexidentity of an organisation includes theeffectiveness of its services orproducts, the shared values andambitions of its employees, thecorporate tone of voice and publicrelations profile. Naturally, its visualappearance or visual identity plays akey role.

Visual identity manifests itself in manyways. In addition to its logo, typefaceand colours, the following allcontribute to the brand architecturecreated by the identity: stationery;marketing literature; buildings;signage; customer information;vehicles, and every aspect ofpromotional activity from a high-profileadvertising campaign to the design ofa promotional leaflet.

Why Corporate Identity forgovernment?

The public sector in South Africa isvast and confronted with a multitude ofchallenges in a very competitiveservice and communicationenvironment. Often these challengesare determined by the socio-economicand political environment of thecountry.

The initiative to establish a CorporateIdentity for government was derivedfrom the following Comtask Reportrecommendation: ’It is proposed thatall government buildings haverecognisable corporate imaging andthat documents and other products

have a design or official logo thatmakes them easily identifiable andaccessible.’

This is addressed by applying the Coatof Arms to a branding strategy for thewhole of government.

Government departments compete witheach other for staff, funding, customerservice and a share of voice and mind.This is a minor phenomenon whencompared to the extent of thecompetition for the same resources andassets with the private sector. The only way to achieve success in sucha highly competitive arena is throughdifferentiation, by developing adistinctive brand personality and set ofvalues, which appeal to the State’s keyaudiences.

When well managed, Corporate Identitycan be a powerful means of integratingthe many departments and programmesessential to the State’s success. It canalso provide the visual cohesionnecessary to ensure that all corporatecommunications are coherent with eachother and result in an image consistentwith the State's ethos and character.

What is the Corporate Identityfor government?

The ushering in of democracy in SouthAfrica meant that the national symbolshad to reflect the principles of the newera. The National Flag was introducedin 1994. The Cabinet approved thehighest visual symbol of the State, theNational Coat of Arms, as the officialCorporate Identity for government inMarch 2000. The National Coat ofArms was launched on 27 April 2000.

The Department of Arts and Culture,through the Bureau of Heraldry,registers and promotes the nationalsymbols. Part of the responsibilities isto protect the integrity of the symbolsthrough the Heraldry Act, 1942 (Act18 of 1942), and the generalguidelines made available to thepeople. The Bureau of Heraldryregistered the design of the Coat ofArms, thereby assuming responsibilityto protect and promote it.

In 2001, the GCIS initiated the designof the new Coat of Arms andcommissioned research on theapplication of the Coat of Arms intothe Corporate Identity programme forgovernment. The main objective of thisresearch was to solicit input from thekey roleplayers on how the Coat ofArms should be applied consistently asbranding throughout government.The research report made a number ofrecommendations, including thedevelopment of a branding manual.

The Coat of Arms National CorporateIdentity Guidelines regulate the use ofthe Coat of Arms as branding forgovernment. The Guidelinescommunicate the important messageon the respect and limits to the use ofthe Coat of Arms, to further protectthem from unjust commercialexploitation and abuse.

The Guidelines also help in thepopularisation of the Coat of Arms. To address the current inconsistentapplication of the Government Brand,the GCIS developed a CorporateIdentity Manual for government. TheManual will facilitate easy recognitionof communication from government bythe public.

8.7. Campaign management

Over the past few years of the newpolitical dispensation communicatorshave had to deal with specificcampaigns, which required planning andmanagement. To name just a few, thegovernment has dealt with the ArriveAlive campaign, HIV/AIDS awareness,Taxi Recapitalisation Programme, andmany more. Many of these campaignshave presented communicators with avariety of challenges. For all of themthere are basic steps that are essential toguarantee reasonable success. Anotherchallenge is that a developmentalparadigm requires communicators tounderstand and plan campaigns in aparticular manner.When a campaign is to be embarkedupon, it must be preceded by:

o thorough research of its objectives,audiences, feasibility and possible consequences

o identification of costs and capacityneeded

o a clear strategy and Programme ofAction

o project leadershipo crisis anticipation (Drawing of

scenarios and possible solutions)o identification of key players and

timeframes

o consistent, efficient and effectivecommunication with the target audience

o decision on the leadingcommunication voice on the campaign if necessary

o if you are to select an agency tomanage a campaign, have clear guidelines, based on the objectivesof the campaign. Efficiency is crucial.
