3. FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER/MEC
The Department of Social Development commenced the 2014/15 financial year earnestly and fully aware of the challenges that face the civil society not only in KwaZulu-Natal but in the whole of South Africa. The challenges facing the people of KwaZulu-Natal still relate to issues of poverty, inequality, and unemployment and we continued implementing our programs as determined in our Strategic Plans as well as our Provincial Growth and Development Strategy.
We were sensitive to the plight facing our most vulnerable group such as people with disability and the elderly. Awareness programs on human rights for the elderly and protocols on the management of the elderly people were fully implemented in all Districts. The Department has also worked hard in addressing issues affecting the people with disability and collaborated with the private sector in ensuring that the needs of the disabled are catered for.
Many families in KwaZulu-Natal are faced with a number of challenges which impact negatively on their ability to sustain themselves and care for their members. These challenges are a consequence of a variety of pathologies and have negative consequences to the wellbeing of family members. The Department has during the year under review implemented a number of interventions including parenting programs, fatherhood programs and family preservation programs.
In an effort to address the issues affecting Child Care and their Protection, the Department has focused on the implementation of the Child Protection Register and in collaboration with other stakeholders implemented the protocol for the management of child abuse, neglect and exploitation.
The Department also made significant progress in addressing foster care backlog thus complying with the North Gauteng Court Order. In collaboration with other stakeholders such Ilifa Labantwana we made significant progress in the implementation of non-centre based ECD programs,
The Department is has continued rendering its services in partnership with the Departments of Health and Education, municipalities and other stakeholders in responding to the scourge of HIV and Aids, which play an oversight role to ensure implementation of the Multi-Sectoral Provincial Strategic Plan for HIV and Aids,
The levels of gender-based violence in the province of KwaZulu-Natal remain unacceptably high, requiring a change in strategy and greater collaboration between all stakeholders in our province to address and eradicate this scourge. In the 2014/15 financial year, the Department has ensured that more victims of crime and violence have access to psycho-social support services as well as access to shelters for victims of crime and violence.
Whilst focusing on issues on social welfare the Department has not neglected its responsibility of addressing community development issues. Our youth and women development issues have always taken a priority and the issues of poverty and food security have taken precedence. The Department
10
K Z N S O C I A L D E V E L O P M E N T V O T E 1 3
took an active role in the development of the poverty eradication master plan and further partnered with institutions of higher learning in ensuring that our youth are not left out.
The Department wishes to acknowledge and appreciate the role played by our non-profit organisation in rendering services to the people of Kwa Zulu Natal. The Department also wishes to express gratitude to the oversight bodies such as the Auditor General, SCOPA, Finance and Social Development Committee, We also appreciate the services rendered by the employees of the Department.

4. REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTING OFFICER
Overview of the operations of the department:
The Department derives its core mandate from Section 27 (1) (c ) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa that provides for the right of access to appropriate social assistance to those who are unable to support themselves and their dependants.
In addition, Section 28 (1) of the Constitution sets out the rights of children with regard to appropriate care (basic nutrition, shelter, health care services and social services) and detention. Schedule 4 of the Constitution further identifies welfare services and population development as functional areas of concurrent National and Provincial Legislative competence. In carrying out the core functions, the Department is governed by various acts and policies. The basic tenets of the Constitution, as embodied in Chapter 2, contain the Bill of Rights, which
emphasises equality, human dignity, freedom and security of the person, health care, food, water and social security and the rights of the child.
Older Persons During the period under review, the department conducted capacity building sessions on older Persons Abused Register. The register is aimed at tracking cases of abuse of older persons and was attended by Government Departments and the NPO sector. Another capacity building session on Alzheimer and Dementia for older persons coordinators was also conducted for Social Work Practitioners in all sectors with the aim of empowering them on these conditions. The Department further continued its advocacy campaign on the human rights for elder persons in all Districts and has involved Faith Based Organisation in this respect. The older persons have also not been left out in sports activities to promote healthy and active aging and have participated in sport activities organised by the national and provincial departments.

a significant increase in the number of teenagers who are playing the role of parents as head of households. Furthermore marriage counselling, family and marriage enrichment programs were held with all the stakeholders. The role of the fathers in the family has been recognised and fatherhood programs, norms and standards for families and re-unification services were also intensified.

A total of 39 sustainable livelihood projects, such as small scale farming, skills development, nutrition support, etc., were supported in line with the reduction of poverty and attainment of sustainable livelihoods among the beneficiaries of projects. These projects are identified as a result of community mobilisation programmes which are informed by the profiling of households and communities.

Over and above that, the Department has set aside funding to the tune of R3 million that will go a long way in assisting these youth clubs in the implementation of various programmes as per implementation plans that have been developed at a District level.
More than 3000 young people have benefitted from skills development programmes initiated by the Department. This has been achieved through the Departments 2 Youth Development Academies, 4 Youth Development Centres and non-centre based programmes where young people access programmes directly at Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges with whom the Department has established partnerships.

Older Persons Act, 2006This Act, which was operationalized by a Presidential Proclamation on 1 April 2010, establishes a framework for empowering and protecting older persons, and promoting and maintaining their status, rights, well-being, safety and security. It provides for older persons to enjoy good quality services while staying with their families in their communities for as long as possible. Chapter 3 of the Act deals specifically with the development of community based care and support programmes. These fall into the broad categories, namely prevention and promotion programmes, aimed at ensuring that older persons live independent lives within their communities; and home based care, and aimed at ensuring that frail older persons receive maximum care within their communities through a comprehensive range of integrated services. The Act recognises the wisdom and experience of older people and the need to protect their knowledge and skills. It also promotes the active participation of older people in community affairs.
Fund-Raising Act, 1978The Fund-Raising Act of 1978, which provided for the establishment of various relief funds. Except for its relief fund chapter it was repealed in 1997 by the Non-Profit Organisations Act, 1997. The Social Development Sector is in the process of repealing the remaining parts of the Act.
Social Service Professions Act, 1978This Act, formerly known as the Social Work Act, provides for the establishment of the South Africa Council for Social Work and defines its powers and functions. The Act was amended in 1995 to provide for the establishment of the South African Interim Council for Social Work and for the rationalisation of certain laws relating to social workers that remained in force in the various areas of the national territory of the Republic. The Act was also amended in 1996 in order to make the South African Interim Council for Social Work more representative of the people of the country. The 1998 amendment established the South African Council for Social Service Professions, and professional boards for social service professions.
Childrens Act, 2005This Act, which was operationalized by a Presidential Proclamation on 1 April 2010, gives effect to the rights of children contained in the Constitution.

White Paper for Social Welfare (1997) The White Paper sets out the principles, guidelines, proposed policies and programmes for developmental social welfare in South Africa. As the primary policy document, the White Paper serves as the foundation for social welfare in the post-1994 era.
White Paper Population Policy for South Africa (1998) The White Paper aims to promote sustainable human development and quality of life for all South Africans through the integration of population issues into development planning in all spheres of government and in all sectors of society. The policy mandates the Department of Social Development to monitor the implementation of the policy and its impact on population trends and dynamics in the context of sustainable human development. Government departments and their counterparts in civil society should be capacitated and supported to understand the critical linkages between population and development, and to integrate population issues in development planning, through research and the dissemination of data and information.

1. AUDITOR GENERALS REPORT: PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES
The AGSA currently performs certain audit procedures on the performance information to provide reasonable assurance in the form of an audit conclusion. The audit conclusion on the performance against predetermined objectives is included in the report to management, with material findings being reported under the Predetermined Objectives heading in the Report on other legal and regulatory requirements section of the auditors report.
Refer to page 166 of the Report of the Auditor General, published as Part E: Financial Information.
2. OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENTAL PERFORMANCE2.1 Service Delivery Environment
Census 2011 indicate that the population of KwaZulu-Natal stands at 10, 267 million and distributed as follows: eThekweni Metro (3 442 361), Harry Gwala (461 419), iLembe (606 810), uThungulu (907 519), uMkhanyakude (625 846), Zululand (803 575), Amajuba (499 839), Umzinyathi (510 838), UThukela (668 848), uMgungundlovu (1 017 763) and Ugu (722 484). eThekweni Metro has almost 34 % of the population followed by uMgungundlovu Municipality with almost 10% of the population. Amajuba has the lowest share of the population at 4%.
Poverty, unemployment and inequality are prevalent in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, the province is a home to about 21% of the population of South Africa and the second most populous province after Gauteng. The province is marred by high poverty rate and inequalities and had the third highest incidence of poverty after two predominantly rural provinces of the Eastern Cape and Limpopo. As noted by many other studies poverty is concentrated in rural areas.
KwaZulu-Natal has been known as the epicentre of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. There are strong indications however that the battle has being won, albeit slowly. The province is doing well with regards to the treatment and prevention of mother to child transmissions, however general prevention efforts must be accelerated. The niche of the department of Social Development is to steadily increase the provision of drop-in centres as an intervention to deal with issues associated with HIV/AIDS.
The focus groups of the department of Social Development includes children, youth, women, older persons and persons with disabilities. Services are rendered either directly by the department as well as in partnership with stakeholders namely, non-profit organizations.
Statistics indicate that out of the total of 21 025 million children in South Africa, KwaZulu-Natal has 4 858 million (9, 6%) of children compared to other provinces in South Africa. KwaZulu-Natal has also the highest number of children receiving social grants in the form of child support grants as well as foster care grants. A number of reasons can be ascribed to this situation including impact of HIV and AIDS as well as unemployment situation in the province. The Department of Social Development currently has 115 369 children attending early childhood development centres. (funded and unfunded). During the year under review, the Department sought to improve the ECD program in partnership with Ilifa Labantwana and other stakeholders. During 2012/2013 financial year only 52 387 children accessing funded ECD Services and in 2013/2014 this figure was dramatically increased.
27
2 0 1 4 / 1 5 A N N U A L R E P O R T : K Z N S O C I A L D E V E L O P M E N T V O T E 1 3
The percentage of women headed households have not changed significantly from 2001 to 2011. In a few instances percentages have slightly increased (Amajuba from 45,1 to 47,6%: Zululand from 53,9 to 54,2%: Umkhanyakude from 51,0% to 53,9%, uThungulu from 47,3 to 48,9% and eThekweni from 38,7 to 40%).
People with disabilities constitute 4,4% of the total population of KwaZulu-Natal. Physical Disabilities constitute the highest form of disability followed by emotional disability, sight and hearing impairment. Once more rural district such as Umkhanyakude, Umzinyathi and Harry Gwala have the highest figures of person with disabilities. It is important that the Department implements its mandate in addressing the inequalities that exist between the able bodies and disabled persons. The Department had to increase the number of persons with disabilities accessing protective workshops in order to provide skills to the section of our population.
Older persons constitute a significant section of the population of KwaZulu-Natal. Indeed many households due to the death of younger persons are managed by older women. In the previous financial year, the department of Social Development noted a significant increase in the abuse of the elderly in the province and planned a number of interventions including community dialogues that sought to address this social ill. Access to community based care and support centres was increased and the Province realised a significant increase in the number of older persons accessing these centres.
During the year under the department focused among other areas on Youth Development. The focus was prompted by issues related to teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS and social ill in general. The intervention through the establishment of youth academies in areas such as Esicabazini and Vuma (Umkhanyakude and uThungulu districts respectively) marked a significant shift in the approach of dealing with youth development. This approach will hopefully be important in ensuring that the issues of poverty, unemployment and inequalities are addressed in each of our district municipalities.
2.2 Service Delivery Improvement Plan
The department has completed a service delivery improvement plan. The tables below highlight the service delivery plan and the achievements to date.
