BACKGROUND• One of the Department’s mandate is to support
municipalities fulfill their developmental local government obligations.
• A range of National and Provincial policies provide clear and compelling mandates for the Provincial Government to support small and rural municipalities with the rehabilitation of small towns as local centres of economic activity and nodes of concentrated and focused delivery of services

PROVINCIAL SPATIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (PSEDS)
• KZN Govt through the Economic Cluster developed the PSEDS as a sector plan of the PGDS
• The PSEDS recognises that:
– Social & economic development is never uniformly distributed
– Apartheid created an unnatural distortion of development
– This distortion must be addressed through an interventionist approach
Classification of Economic Potential
• The economic sector has identified four key sectors as drivers of economic growth in the KZN Province. These sectors are:
• The Agricultural sector (including agri-processing)
• The Industrial sector
• The Tourism sector
• The Service sector (including government services)
![Page 6: KZN SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION PROGRAMME PRESENTATION BY ...aspire.org.za/reports/Barbara Mgutshini - Lessons from KZN.pdf · kzn small town rehabilitation programme presentation by](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012318/5b14794e7f8b9a3e7c8d1cf8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The PSEDS is based on 4 pillars1. Increasing investment in the province2. Skills and capacity building3. Broadening participation in the economy4. Increasing competitiveness
The main programmes to support the strategies are 1. Foreign Direct Investment2. Investment in Infrastructure3. Sector Development4. Corridor Development

DEFINITION OF CORRIDORS
• Primary Corridor (PC): A corridor with very high economic growth potential within all three sectors which serves areas of high poverty densities;
• Secondary Corridor (SC): A corridor serving areas of high poverty levels with good economic development potential within one or two sectors
![Page 8: KZN SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION PROGRAMME PRESENTATION BY ...aspire.org.za/reports/Barbara Mgutshini - Lessons from KZN.pdf · kzn small town rehabilitation programme presentation by](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012318/5b14794e7f8b9a3e7c8d1cf8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DEFINITION OF CORRIDORS cont’PSEDS identified the following corridors in the province
• 3 Primary Corridors
– Ethekwini- Umhlathuze (PC 1)
– Ethekwini Msunduzi uMngeni ( PC 2)
– eThekwini –Ugu (PC 3)
• 14 Secondary Corridors
• The nodes and activity corridors don’t cover the whole province. They focus only on those nodes and corridors which could have the most impact in halving poverty and unemployment to meet the MDG targets.
• The rest of the province cannot be neglected but the major focus of fixed investment should be directed at these nodes and development corridors
![Page 9: KZN SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION PROGRAMME PRESENTATION BY ...aspire.org.za/reports/Barbara Mgutshini - Lessons from KZN.pdf · kzn small town rehabilitation programme presentation by](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012318/5b14794e7f8b9a3e7c8d1cf8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION• The 25 nodes represent the identified priority small
towns in the province
• The parent municipalities in these nodes are thepoorest with limited rates base – 100% grantdependent
• The KZN government has made an MTEF allocationof R244m towards the small town rehabilitationprogrogramme.
• The programme is aimed at making the small townsmore attractive for investment as part of RuralDevelopment in line with priorities of government.

SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION
The budget allocation in the MTEF is broken down as follows:
Year 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12
Budget R55m R92.5m R97.3m

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
• The programme has “ONE” aim and that is; to ensure that the competitiveness of these small towns is enhanced in order to attract investment and to retain the current investors.
• Support to the municipalities will be provided through grant funding for initiatives that will enhance these rural towns and create a clean and safe environment.
• The outcome will be the retention and attraction of investment thereby retaining and creating new work opportunities.

BALANCED LED STRATEGY
Three legs:
1) Retain and grow existing businesses
2) Create new enterprises
3) Attract investment from outside
For the above to occur, govt is required to make a firm foundation by investing in:
– Hard (physical) and soft (economic)infrastructure
![Page 17: KZN SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION PROGRAMME PRESENTATION BY ...aspire.org.za/reports/Barbara Mgutshini - Lessons from KZN.pdf · kzn small town rehabilitation programme presentation by](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012318/5b14794e7f8b9a3e7c8d1cf8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

STRATEGIC THRUSTS CONTINUED
• Urban Management includes: by law enforcement, management of informal trading and safety in the small town including surveillance cameras, waste management
• Infrastructure upgrade includes maintenance of roads and storm-water, street signs, robots, power networks and waste collection points.
• Support to economic sectors includes assessment of those sectors with a potential to grow the economy and contribute to the GGP. Clear strategies to promote growth of these sectors in line with PSEDS should be identified informed by the area strength and competitive advantage
• Addressing dilapidated buildings involves implementation of building controls and rehabilitation of disused buildings. This requires investment incentives and tax rebates.
• Promotion of ripple pond investments as catalysts for investor confidence. This involves anchor developments that will result in the attraction of other investment opportunities.
![Page 19: KZN SMALL TOWN REHABILITATION PROGRAMME PRESENTATION BY ...aspire.org.za/reports/Barbara Mgutshini - Lessons from KZN.pdf · kzn small town rehabilitation programme presentation by](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012318/5b14794e7f8b9a3e7c8d1cf8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Tertiary nodes in the priority corridors as outlined in the PSEDS
• Municipalities that have not received any substantial support from the Neighbourhood Development Partnership Grant (NDPG) of the National Treasury
• Towns that have a potential for growth and could present an opportunity to provide quick wins to increase confidence in the programme
• Focus on a few municipalities for maximum impact – 7/8 per year
• Each beneficiary municipality to confirm acceptance of nomination through a council resolution

IMPLEMENTATION METHOD• Projects for implementation are packaged by the
beneficiary municipalities with the support of the Department and sector depts
• The proposed projects should change the physical outlook of a targeted town, be part of broader urban regeneration plan of a municipality, and most importantly they should have economic potential.
• The projects should promote job creation, local economic development and skills transfer and should have measurable impact on the lives of people on the ground.
