Question NW1434 to the Minister in the Presidency

Reply:

a) The approach adopted to enroll municipalities into the LGMIM (Local Management Improvement Model) is that the Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation annually invites Provincial Departments responsible for Local Government (this included the Limpopo Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs) to enroll municipalities within their provinces that they believe can benefit the most from participating in the LGMIM assessment process.  During the 2016-17 assessment period, the Limpopo Department of Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs nominated Greater Tzaneen Local Municipality, Capricorn District Municipality, Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality, Molemole Local Municipality, Musina Local Municipality, Thulamela Local Municipality and Waterberg District Municipality to participate LGMIM.

It should however be noted that Bela-Bela Local Municipality, and the Modimolle Mookgophong Local Municipality in the Waterberg District have participated in the LGMIM in the previous financial year.

b) The next report will be available at the end March 2019.

d) The purpose of the report is to set out the LGMIM assessment results per Key Performance Area (Integrated Development Planning and Implementation, Service Delivery, Human Resource Development, Financial Management, Community Engagement/ Participation and Governance). The report also highlights which municipalities performed best and which poorly in the standards within a KPA. The assessment results are presented by DPME and the Provincial Departments responsible for Local Government to the management team of each municipality where performance gaps are highlighted and actions required to improve performance are discussed.

e) The report is compiled internally by the Chief Directorate: Local Government and Human Settlements and no additional costs are incurred in order to produce the report.
