1. HEALTH AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

(SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT) ALCOHOL ABUSE INTERVENTION PLAN IN THE CITY OF TSHWANE.

1. PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to provide an intervention plan to Section 79 Oversight Committee: Health and Social Development on Alcohol Abuse within the City of Tshwane.

2. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

Strategic Objective 3: “Ensure Sustainable, safer city and integrated social development.

3. BACKGROUND

The prevalence and abuse of alcohol and drugs in South Africa and within the Gauteng City Region have reached epidemic levels and if not attended to, will lead to a calamity of disastrous proportions for the economy and people of the Province. According to the South African Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (SACENDU) report (2015), on Fifteen (15) Inpatient Treatment Centers in Gauteng, the following key statistical admission information requires attention, A total of 3 172 patients were admitted for treatment in 15 Inpatient Treatment Centers in Gauteng between the period July – December 2014; 20% for alcohol of which 19% were young people under 20 years; Alcohol is still the most common primary substance of abuse (37%),18-22 years olds are the group of heaviest alcohol abusers and 35% of high schools kids are problem drinkers. In South Africa, the injury burden is massive and accounts for 12% of deaths from all causes. The Road fatality rate in the country is twice the world average population, and nearly half of these are as a result of alcohol abuse. The effect of this social challenge is also evident in the prevalence of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) – a condition where alcohol crosses the placental barrier of a pregnant mother and can stunt foetal growth or weight, create distinctive facial stigmata, damage neurons and brain structures, which can result in intellectual disability and other psychological or behavioural problems, and also cause other physical damage. Alcohol and Drug abuse is costing South Africa R20-billion a year and could pose a bigger threat to the country’s future than the AIDS pandemic. The social effects of alcohol abuse and severe negative effects suffered especially in previously disadvantaged communities.

7

Shebeens have been regarded as illegal drinking houses particular to black townships. The version of the local is that the vibrant heart of social life and where there is a township there’s a shebeen. It has been recognised that township shebeens provides easy access to places of entertainment, social interaction and the opportunities of establishing small business in local communities and contributing to local economic development that significantly to much needed job creation. Shebeens and other illegal liquor outlets, like private homes where umqombothi is brewed and sold, became a widespread cultural and economic phenomenon in the lives of Black South Africans.

4. DISCUSSION

The City has supported alcohol abuse programmes initiated by the concern residents of Tshwane referred to as Concern Tshwane. Concern Tshwane was established in April 2011 constituted by Liquor traders with an intent to address challenges faced. The collective consists of all Tshwane liquor traders with different branches all over Tshwane e.g. Atteridgeville, Cullinan, Hammaskraal, Ga-Rankuwa and surrounding areas. Amongst other issues that are addressed by the liquor traders is to provide education about the By-Laws and the Gauteng Liquor Act. They encourage liquor traders to work hand-in-hand in creating a safe business area, to love their fellow business partners to create a peaceful environment amongst their customers and neighbours. Concern Tshwane works with SAPS and other government Departments to fight DSA and crime.

Target group

• Youth in and out of school; • Pregnant mothers; • Liquor traders; • Clients in Liquor outlets; • Motorists (Arrive alive campaign).

Health and Social Development sees it befitting to work with this already established structures similar to Concern Tshwane in the fight against alcohol Abuse. Key amongst other programmes will be to address responsible Liquor trading among members and non-members. Provide awareness campaigns on alcohol abuse including the ahol ftal syndrome.

5. INTERVENTION PLAN

Non-Profit Organisations and Ward Based Local Drug Action Committees are better positioned at community level to advance the intent to fight alcohol abuse. The City has a draft policy framework that is aimed at guiding the City’s response to the funding of NPO’s across the jurisdiction of the Municipality and particularly in the social development sector, to facilitate transformation and reprioritisation of services to the poor and vulnerable sectors of the communities. Amongst others, the policy document provides space for funding of programmes aimed at prevention and support programmes for alcohol and substance abuse as well as community empowerment services and development, including life skills education.

8 The Drug and Substance Abuse intervention plan is inclusive of providing financial support to the NPO’s and to WBLDAC’s subsequently. From the pool of NPO’s to be funded, eight (8) NPO’s will be identified per Region to administer the launching of WBLDAC’s and support programme implementation. These NPO’s will be required to submit proposals with a plan of Action on alcohol abuse in their respective areas working with structures such as Concern Tshwane to roll out such programmes. Metro Police: Social Crime Prevention and South African Police Service will be key stakeholders in the programme.

6. CONCLUSION

An integrated approach from all City Departments and other external stakeholders is essential for making an impact on the alcohol abuse challenge in the City. Supply, demand and harm reduction require participation from everyone and fighting the scourge is an urgent matter to be addressed. Specific programmes on Alcohol abuse can be implemented swiftly through the already established structures and the support by the City is critical. The Integration of Metro Police and SAPS programmes remains important especially on By-Laws and other transgressions relating to alcohol abuse. The programme will be integrated into the ward based LDAC and NPO’s Business plans.

RESOLVED: That this matter be referred to a next meeting of the Committee.

THE HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PROGRAMME

Healthy lifestyle programme is a nation-wide programme that focuses on increasing life-expectancy in the elderly population. It is one of the initiatives that aim at addressing the issues related to ageing in a comprehensive manner. In implementing this elderly program, the following are the Legislative framework that gave effect to the improvement of the lives of older persons:Older Persons Act, Act 13 of 2006.

1. Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996; 2. City of Tshwane Indigent Policy; 3. Social Assistance Act.

Older Persons month which is October, is one of the ways of celebrating the lives of older persons in the form of looking back at success stories, and at the same time acknowledging gaps that still need attention.

The aging population is considered one of the biggest public health concerns, and it demands more attention since it is regarded as a vulnerable group. The activities

10 involved in the Healthy Lifestyle programme takes place throughout the year, and culminate in the October celebrations. They are as follows:

• Awareness campaigns on the rights of older persons;

• Establishment of Day Care Centers for the elderly;

• Provision of Healthy meals;

• Spiritual upliftment;

• Celebration of National Calendar events;

• Arts and handcrafts;

• Establishment of Food Gardening;

• Physical training.

Even though Social Development did not have a budget for this programme, implementation of the above activities was done through a partnership with the Provincial Social Development Department and other stakeholders.

5. DISCUSSIONS.

The City of Tshwane has been embarking on a number of initiatives that aiming at improving the lives of older persons, in partnership with other stakeholders. Celebration of October as older persons month has been happening in Tshwane led by various organisations and Departments in Government. The City of Tshwane has been partnering with those stakeholders when invited.

In 2015 the Department of Social Development (GPG) invited the City of Tshwane Social Development Department to assist in the arranging of the International Day of Older Persons in Laudium, Region 4. This has afforded the City an opportunity to acknowledge and highlight the fundamental role that the older persons play in our communities. The theme for the year was: “Sustainability and Age Inclusiveness in the Urban Environment”. Making cities inclusive of older persons means generating opportunities for their economic and social participation in accessible and safe environments. It also means providing affordable housing as well as the health and social services needed to support ageing in place."

6. OBJECTIVES OF THE 2015 ELDERLY MONTH PROGRAM

• To continue raising awareness on the rights of older persons with special attention on promotion of healthy and active ageing;

• To create a platform for addressing the abuse of the elderly through the launching of Elderly Help Desks;

• To disseminate information on health, care-giving, indigent registration and social assistance.

7. CELEBRATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF OLDER PERSONS.

On 1 October 2015, Region 4 celebrated the International Day of Older Person’s in Laudium Community Hall. The event was organised by the National and Provincial Department of Social Development. As a partner, City of Tshwane Social Development Department was tasked with informing and mobilising local structures of elderly NGO’s, to ensure attendance of the event. About 500 older people from Laudium, Olivenhoutbosch, Mooiplaas and Centurion participated.

11 8. OTHER INITIATIVES THAT TOOK PLACE IN 2015 THAT ARE GEARED

TOWARDS BENEFITING OLDER PERSONS

Through public and private partnerships the Social Development Department created an enabling environment whereby, various organisations, role players including, sustainable projects have been initiated to address the needs of older persons in Tshwane. Through these efforts and interventions, a number of challenges facing older persons are addressed, with the aim of ensuring that a sustainable and age inclusive environment is created. Older persons are also encouraged to take part in the economic activities and social participation in their communities. It is acknowledged that there is much more that still needs to be done, to ensure that the needs of older persons are effectively and efficiently met.

In October 2015 the CoT Social Development Department had planned to celebrate older person’s month through launching the elderly help desks in all regions of Tshwane. The purpose of the Help Desk is to offer the older persons a platform to address cases related to older persons. However, it was not possible to launch it due to lack of funds. It is deemed necessary to establish older person’s help desks throughout Tshwane, because older persons are seen as soft targets in the community. It is envisaged that these help desks will be accessible to communities (once there is a budget and they are launched), in order to address and refer problems and enquiries speedily.

The following activities are some of the initiatives that took place during 2015, with the aim of directly and/or indirectly benefitting older persons in Tshwane. They are captured as follows:

10. ELDERLY PARTICIPATION AND MOBILIZATION

The Social Development Department in partnership with elderly organisations, faith based organisations and community based organisations are able to mobilize older persons to attend the aforementioned activities.

11. CONCLUSION

The programme for Older Persons is very critical in the sense that, older persons through various activities are able to understand their rights and have an opportunity to be with their peers. This gives them a sense of belonging. However, the Programme within CoT Social Development Department does not have funding, and this state of affairs hampers meaningful interventions by social workers especially in supporting community activities. Social Workers have been working closely with NGOs/other stakeholders even though there is no funding. However, the lack of funding makes it difficult to embark on certain initiatives which are needed by older persons. It is also acknowledged that, as much as some in routes are been made, there is more to be done to ensure that the needs of older persons are efficiently and effectively addressed.

16 RESOLVED: That cognisance be taken of the report.

17 B. MTSHWENI (012 358 4493) SECTION 79 OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE: HEALTH & SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: 14 JUNE 2016 3. OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE MAYOR

STRATEGIC INTEREST GROUP DEVELOPMENT (YOUTH DEVELOPMENT UNIT) THE UPDATE REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE PROGRAMME IN THE CITY OF TSHWANE

1. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

The purpose of this report is to provide the Section 79 Oversight Committee on Health and Social Development with an update report on the implementation of the National Youth Service Programme (NYS) in the City of Tshwane since its inception.

2. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES The overriding aim of the City of Tshwane Strategic Objectives is to develop and grow Tshwane into a successful City where residents can enjoy a good quality of life. It acts as a catalyst to speed up development in line with other city plans. In line with the City’s Strategic Programme, this report seeks to address the following Strategic Objectives: SO: 2: Promote Shared Economic Growth and Job Creation;

SO: 3: Ensure Sustainable, Safer Cities and Integrated Social Development;

SO: 4: Promote Good Governance and Active Citizenry.

The realigned Strategic Objectives are a basis for the development of the IDP informed by the National Development Plan, the manifesto for government and the Tshwane 2055 outcomes, programmes and projects that have been identified for the implementation by the City of Tshwane.

3. BACKGROUND The City of Tshwane Council on 2 August 2007 approved the establishment of Youth Development Unit through a By-Law to drive the institutionalization of youth development and youth participation in the governance of the City of Tshwane. The objectives of this structure is to facilitate, monitor and coordinate youth development within municipality, advocate and lobby for youth development and advise on the development of policies aimed at empowering young people within Tshwane amongst other things. The Youth Development Unit (YDU) in the Strategic Interest Group Development Division represents important sectors in society which is called targeted groups with various challenges. Young people continue to play a pivotal role in building a developmental society including the City of Tshwane. The contribution of the YDU in mobilising young people to participate in governance programmes cannot be over emphasised as well as promoting youth interaction with city departments and other spheres of government. The YDU participate in numerous structures such as the Gauteng Intergovernmental Youth Forum (GIGYF) and relevant national youth structures to represent youth interests.

18 The Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act, 2005 (Act 13 of 2005) was promulgated to formally gives effect to the principles of cooperative government as enshrined in the Constitution, 1996 (Section 41) and spells out intergovernmental relations between the three spheres of government. The City of Tshwane interact and work with different spheres of government, organs of state and private institutions in the implementation of the City’s Programme and projects which encapsulate national and provincial government priorities such as the National Youth Service Programme (NYS) amongst others. The interaction and working with other sectors is informed by provision of services to local communities and the endeavour to create more opportunities through sector investments into different departments.

4. DISCUSSION

The implementation of the National Youth Service Programme (NYS) is fundamental to the youth and the first of its kind since the programme was launched by the National Government and implemented. The CoT through Strategic Interest Group Development Division (Youth Development Unit) continues to interact with other spheres of government (Provincial and National) to create an enabling environment for youth development, empowerment, skills development and values that support their meaningful participation in all aspects in community, society and the economy. Following the recruitment and placement of the five-hundred (500) NYS learners as per the submitted detailed business plan through the Health & Social Development Department confirmed the participation of the City of Tshwane in the NYS programme. The success of the programme was as a result of diligent coordination and participation of the Health and Social Development Department’s officials. The programme aims at supporting nation-building through involving young people in the delivery of crucial government services and to enable young people to acquire and apply skills and values to access economic opportunities upon completion of the programme and to continue to engage with community and social processes. The NYS Programme has the following key strategic objectives:

• To inculcate a culture of service by supporting youth to participate constructively in nation-building;

• To inculcate in young people understanding of their role in the promotion of civic awareness and national reconstruction;

• To develop the skills, knowledge and abilities of young people to enable them to make the transition to adulthood;

• To improve youth employability through opportunities for work experience, skills development and support to gain access to economic and further learning opportunities; and

• To harness the nation’s untapped human resources and to provide a vehicle for enhancing the delivery of the country’s development objectives, especially to disadvantaged and underserved communities.

5. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS BY THE CITY OF TSHWANE The Youth Development Unit (YDU) in the Strategic Interest Group Development Division together with the Department of Health and Social Development established the Project Management Team (PTM) to monitor implementation in partnership with relevant officials from Gauteng Department of Infrastructure Development (DID). The PTM through secretariat resolve to establish further team of mentor/supervisors which meet bi-monthly to receive reports in all job centres.

The programme was supposed to be completed at the end of August 2015 according to signed learners contracts as prepared by the DID. Due to the late intake and placements at Region 7 and the Emergency Services Department a motivation written to the relevant senior official at the DID to extend the contract until the end of March 2016 and this request was accepted (See attached letter). So far leaners are placed with minimal problems which in the main were late payments and no formal training offered except on the job training.

The remaining number of NYS learners following the extension of contracts is 451 out of more than 500 intakes according to DID which means 49 exited the programme and some cannot be traced. Unfortunately it cannot infer if they ordinarily dropout or received permanent opportunities somewhere else which has been the weakness of the programme without exit interviews.

6. BENEFITS AND FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE NATIONAL YOUTH

SERVICE PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION

The City of Tshwane benefited from the Department of Infrastructure Development’s (DID) financial resources by participating in the NYS programme. The NYS learners benefited through work environment exposure and access to City resources such as office equipment i.e. telephone, computers, etc. to advance their career opportunities to become employable with sound reference.

At the beginning of the NYS contracts the participants were paid a stipend of R1 459,00 monthly for a period of a year which was not in line with the Ministerial Determination as gazetted for all Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) by the Minister of Labour. After consultation following the above-mentioned discrepancy the DID increased the stipend R2 200,00 per month backdated from 1 April 2015 for all leaners. The participants are also benefiting from the provincial department placements at the hospitals and the social services to acquire more knowledge. It should be noted that the Emergency Services Department learners were taken to further training to qualify as Basic Fire Fighters as part of the exit strategy in the programme. In addition Region 7 placed learners according to qualifications and some learners with technical qualifications were placed in the energy and electricity, and water and sanitation to further acquire skills. The NYS participants are placed within the proximity of their home areas although somewhere was not possible and learners had to travel.

20 7. PARTICIPATION AND SUPPORT OF THE NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE

PROGRAMME IN THE CITY OF PARTICIPATION

As said the National Youth Service (NYS) was launched in April 2007 to provide opportunities for unemployed and unskilled youth in South Africa to gain practical artisan skills to enhance their capability to gain entry into employment opportunities. NYS aims to provide long-term and effective ways of reconstructing South African society by developing the abilities of young people through service and learning which is inevitable within the City of Tshwane.

The City of Tshwane must develop the National Youth Service Exit Strategy to address the needs of beneficiaries exiting from the Programme who required and qualify for additional capacity building. The exit strategy may amongst others focus on the following key areas: small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) development; employment opportunities as well as further learning and training by the City of Tshwane.

The institutionalisation of the NYS Programme in the City of Tshwane is not fully recognised despite the concerted effort to ensure full participation of the departments, regions and municipal owned entities. The internal memorandum was circulated internally inviting all departments to draw up a business plan for the NYS participation.

Accordingly the National Youth Service Programme (NYSP) is one of the key interventions stipulated by the National Youth Policy 2015-2020. The coordination and expansion of the National Youth Service Programme is aimed at producing responsible disciplined youth who are trained to volunteer their services and skills and serve communities. This will be achieved through leveraging of resources and capacity of all government departments and entities. The NYSP would also ensure that young people play a significant and meaningful role within their communities. Furthermore it would be a vehicle for access to the opportunities that young people require to make a healthy transition into adulthood (Deputy Minister Buti Manamela).

So it will be disappointing if the City of Tshwane was not to fully institutionalise the NYS Programme in all departments, regions and municipal owned entities to afford young people the opportunities and mainstreamed youth development. In the year 2014/2015 it was only the Department of Health & Social Development that led from the front which was followed by Region 7 and lastly by the Emergency Services Department that place the youth. The City of Tshwane is youthful and by implications youth programmes be it from national or provincial, must be fully support to fight the challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality as well as improving skills development.

8. IMPLICATIONS 8.1 HUMAN RESOURCES

The Strategic Interest Group Development Division (Youth Development Unit) together with the host departments will utilise its personnel for purposes of monitoring and evaluation and reporting.

21 8.2 FINANCES

There will be no financial implications for the City of Tshwane Strategic Interest Group Development Division (Youth Development Unit). Unless the host departments extend the scope of work, training and skills development then there will be resource implications.

8.3 CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL FACTORS IMPLICATIONS

The NYS Programme is guided by the legal framework of the Republic of South Africa that governs special programmes. The Strategic Interest Group Development Division (Youth Development Unit) will ensure that the integrity of the city is not compromised in discharging this responsibility.

8.4 COMMUNICATION

The Strategic Interest Group Development Division (Youth Development Unit) and Department of Infrastructure Development together with host departments will communicate with the participants.

9. CONCLUSION

The National Youth Service (NYS) was launched in April 2007 to provide opportunities for unemployed and unskilled youth in South Africa to gain practical artisan skills to enhance their capability to gain entry into employment opportunities. NYS aims to provide long-term and effective ways of reconstructing South African society by developing the abilities of young people through service and learning. The Programme was launched following the 2006 State of the Nation Address by former President Mbeki which called on the need to increase the participation of the youth in service delivery programmes.

The Programme targets unemployed youth of between 18 and 35, particularly young women and youth with disabilities. The youth must have a minimum of grade 10 qualification and train them for a period of about a year. Upon completing the 1-year programme, it is anticipated that the learners will exit to other opportunities particularly in related fields. The National Youth Service Exit Strategy must be developed to address the needs of beneficiaries exiting from the Programme who required and qualify for additional capacity building. The exit strategy may amongst others focus on the following key areas: small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) development; employment opportunities as well as further learning and training by the City of Tshwane, the Department of Infrastructure Development and other organs of state within the City of Tshwane.

It is the responsibility of the City of Tshwane to take up this opportunity in the light of the triple challenges faced by young people such as unemployment, inequality and poverty as well as lack of appropriate skills to align to the city programme. Once implemented correctly the National Youth Service (NYS) Programme has a potential to change living conditions of young people.

22 RESOLVED:

That this matter be referred to a next meeting of the Committee.

23 M Kekana (012 358 4585) SECTION 79 OVERSIGHT COMITTEE: HEALTH AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: 14 JUNE 2016

4. HEALTH AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (MULTISECTORAL AIDS MANAGEMENT UNIT) REPORT TO APPRAISE SECTION 79 COMMITTEE: SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON OVER EXPENDITURE ON THE CONDITIONAL GRANT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF HIV AND AIDS WARD BASED COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND MOBILISATION PROGRAMME

1. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to appraise Section 79 Committee: Health and Social Development about the resolutions taken with regard to the over expenditure on the conditional grant for the implementation of HIV and AIDS Ward Based Community Support and Mobilisation Programme during the 2013/14 Financial Year.

2. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE This report addresses the following strategic objectives:

• Strategic objective 2: Promote shared economic growth and job creation.

• Strategic objective 3: Ensure sustainable, safer cities and integrated social development.

3. BACKGROUND The Department of Health and Social Development is responsible for the implementation of the Tshwane Multi-Sector HIV/AIDS Management Programme. The National and Provincial Strategic Plans on HIV and AIDS 2012 – 2016 provide a framework for the implementation of the HIV and AIDS Programme within the City. The four strategic objectives of the HIV and AIDS Programme, 2012 to 2016 are outlined as follows:

• To address the social and structural barriers to HIV, STI and TB prevention, care and impact;

• To reduce vulnerability and prevent new HIV, STI and TB infections;

• To sustain health and wellness of the infected and affected communities;

• To promote and to support the protection of human rights and to help improve access to justice;

• Educate households on available resources for socio economic relief among the disadvantaged and poverty stricken households.

In an effort to support the City in the implementation of both the the National and Provincial Strategic Plans, the Gauteng Department of Health (GDH) is partnering with Municipalities. This partnership with the City of Tshwane is regulated by the

24 Service Level Agreement (SLA) signed with the Gauteng Department of Health. This agreement paves the way for the Grant provided by GDH and provide the framework for the implementation of the ward based door to door education programme with referrals to increase safe sex in youth and adults and increase effective utilisation of services for health, poverty relief and social services within the Municipality.

4. DISCUSSION. The ward based door to door education programme was introduced in 2005 and respective Municipalities were allocated grants to roll out the programme. The City of Tshwane was allocated R3m (three million rands) for three consecutive years to implement the programme. The City was found not to have adhered to the condition of the grant in that the grant was utilised for the internal workplace programme in addition to the required ward based door to door education programme and the grant was then discontinued. The City of Tshwane’s allocation was reinstated during 2010/11 financial year and received R1,500,000.00 as test fund for compliance. The allocation has since been tied to the signing of the service level agreement outlining the conditions of the grant. The Health and Social Development Department managed to implement the programme effectively and exceeded the set targets though with limited resources available. The grant had since increased to R10,403,000.00 during 2013/14 financial year. The key conditions of this grant included reaching 1 400 000 people in 500 000 households with AIDS education on safe sex, social support and health care for HIV, TB and STI in priority wards as well as training peer educators to provide door to door education with referrals.

4.1. UNAUTHORISED EXPENDITURE The major cost element for this grant funds is the payment of stipend paid to peer educators. The City of Tshwane has, since the inception of the programme perched the stipends for peer educators at R1 200 and R1 500 for peer educators and team leaders respectively. Other Metros increased their stipends for peer educator and team leaders to R2,500.00 and R3,000.00 respectively. In an effort to avoid the dissatisfaction amongst the peer educators and bring our stipend to the same level as other metros, the Multi-Sectoral Aids Management Unit increased the stipend to R2,200.00 for peer educators and R3,000.00 for team leaders respectively. This resulted in the over-expenditure of R5,004,390.20 which was finally reduced to R2,2O4,390.20 after a savings of about R2,880,033.00 was realised from National Health Insurance program. In terms of Section 15 of the Municipal Finance Management Act, no 56 of 2003, ‘A municipality may, except where otherwise provided in this Act, incur expenditure only- (a) in terms of an approved budget; and (b) within the limits of the amounts appropriated for the different votes in an

approved budget.

25 Further, Section 1 defines unauthorised expenditure, in relation to a municipality, as ‘any expenditure incurred by a municipality otherwise than in accordance with section 15 or 11(3), and include: (a) overspending of the total amount appropriated incurred by a municipality

otherwise than in accordance with section 15 or; (b) overspending of the total amount appropriated for a vote in the approved

budget; (c) expenditure from a vote unrelated to the department or functional area covered

by the vote; (d) expenditure of money appropriated for a specific purpose, otherwise than for

that specific purpose; (e) spending of an allocation referred to in paragraph (b), (c) or; (f) of the definition of ‘‘allocation’’ otherwise than in accordance with any conditions

of the allocation; or (g) a grant by the municipality otherwise than in accordance with this Act. The Act goes further to prescribe the process to be followed in the event that these provisions are contravened. Section 32(1) stipulates that a political office-bearer of a municipality is liable for unauthorised expenditure- (a) if that office-bearer knowingly or after having been advised by the accounting

officer of the municipality that the expenditure is likely to result In unauthorised expenditure, instructed an official-of the municipality to incur the expenditure;

(b) the accounting officer is liable for unauthorised expenditure deliberately or negligently incurred by the accounting officer, subject to subsection (3);

(c) any political office-bearer or official of a municipality who deliberately or negligently committed, made or authorised an irregular expenditure is liable for that expenditure;

(d) any political office-bearer or official of a municipality who deliberately or negligently made or authorised a fruitless and wasteful expenditure is liable for that expenditure.

Lastly, the Act prescribes the process that must be followed to recover the unauthorised expenditure. In terms of Section 32(2) ‘A municipality must recover unauthorised, irregular or fruitless and wasteful expenditure from the person liable for that expenditure unless the expenditure is, inter alia- (i) authorised in an adjustments budget; or (ii) certified by the municipal council, after investigation by a council committee, as

irrecoverable and written off by the Council’

4.2. PROCESS FOLLOWED TO CONDONE THE ‘UNAUTHORISED EXPENDITURE The report on the request for approval/condonement of variances/overspending/ unauthorised expenditure on the operating budget for the period ended 30 June 2014 – hereafter referred to as ‘the report’ was initiated by Group Financial Services Department. The report was tabled and considered by Mayoral Committee on 20 August 2014 and the report went on to be considered by Council on 28 August 2014.

26 In main, Council noted the content of the report and recommended, inter alia, that the report be referred to the Section 79 Standing Committee: Public Accounts as required by the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) Circular 68 for further investigation and recommendation. The report went on to be considered by the on 23 January 2015 and the committee recommended as follow:

• the matter be deferred to a special meeting of the Section 79 Standing Committee: Public Accounts.

The report went on to be tabled and considered at the special meeting of the Section 79 Standing Committee: Public Accounts held on 6 February 2015 and it was recommended that:

• That cognizance be taken of the contents of this report;

• That cognizance be taken of the reasons provided for ;

• variances/overspending/unauthorized expenditure on the operating budget for the period that ended 30 June 2014;

• That the Municipal Manager, as Accounting Officer, monitor departments to ensure that future occurrences of such expenditures are prevented;

• That in line with Chapter 6 of the MFMA on Unauthorised, Irregular or Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure by municipalities, the Accounting Officer submit a report to the Council Committee (MPAC) in the Oversight meeting of March 2015 on the recoverability of any unauthorised, irregular of fruitless and wasteful expenditure;

• That Council approves the report with reasons provided for variances/overspending/unauthorised expenditure on the operating budget for the period ended 30 June 2014.

5. CONCLUSION

The community support programme based on door-to-door education is one of the important prevention strategies from the National and Provincial Strategic Plan on HIV, STI and TB. The inclusion of community members in addressing the HIV, STI and TB epidemic empowers them and strengthens ownership by the community. Due to the effectiveness and evidence based outcomes of the ward based door to door education methodology, the programme served as a trend setter for other community based programmes that seek to change behaviour and improve service delivery by involving households and communities at large such as the National Health Insurance (NHI) and Primary Health Care reengineering programmes. City of Tshwane will continue to involve communities and partners to ensure effective and sustainable outcomes while pursuing the global and National 20 years’ goal of reaching “Zero new infections, zero deaths due to TB and AIDS, zero stigma and discrimination on the basis of HIV status.”

RESOLVED: 1. That cognizance be taken of the content of the report.

2. That the Section 79 Committee take cognizance of the resolutions taken by Mayco,

Council and the Section 79 Standing Committee:Public Accounts.

FEEDBACK REPORT ON MELGISEDEK BUILDING 1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the report is to provide feedback on Melgisdek residential settlements. The report seeks to present resolution taken by Council and the Mayoral Committee on the above matter.

2. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE SOS: to ensure good governance, financial reliability and optimal institutional transformation with capacity to execute mandate.

3. BACKGROUND The Section 79 Committee called a report with regard to activities relating to Melgisedek residential settlement. In 2013 the City’s Health Department took part in a joined inspection comprising of multi departments, looking at a solution for the Melgisedek building. The joint efforts culminated in a joined report from Corporate Services Property Section to Mayoral Committee in 2013 August (Annexure A). A report from Corporate Services Property Section was tabled at the Special Alienation Cluster on 19 August 2013 (Annexure A). The Alienation Committee tabled the following recommendation to the Mayoral Committee. 1. That the Mayoral Committee take note that there is no binding agreement existing

between the City and Melgisedek residents; 2. That Melgisedek residents had been characterised by poor payments to the City; 3. That Council close down the building by imploding as its conditions are not

habitable and alternative accommodation is arranged for South African residents; 4. That Finance Department be permitted to write off the arrears and rental and

services costs incurred by residents as it has been proven to be irrecoverable. On the 21 August 2013 the report was tabled at the Mayoral Committee which resolved on the following: 1. That the City Planning conducts an investigation on building control; 2. That affected department submit review on the building; 3. That JOC under City Manager be established to engage communities and

residents; 4. The SED Housing and Human settlement develop an alternative relocation plan.

On the 27 March 2014 City’s Finance Department tabled a report to Council to write

28 off debts linked to Melgisedek building services and rented accounts (Annexure B) Council resolved that:

1. The amount of R4 152, 303, 00 including VAT in respect of individual Municipal

accounts be scrapped off. 2. That the total of R505, 020, 11 be written against provision for Housing debtors.

3. CONCLUSION

It is evident that after the Mayoral Committee resolution, Housing and Human settlement including City Planning had to action Mayoral Committee resolution as attached Annexure A. It is therefore to further request section 79 Committee for Housing and Human settlement to follow up implementation of Mayoral Committee resolutions.
