To: The Mayor
In accordance with section 72 of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act 2003 (the “MFMA)”, I submit the required statement assessing the performance of Mohokare Local Municipality during the first half of the 2014/15 financial year
Section 54 of the MFMA requires the Mayor to take certain actions on receipt of this report to ensure that the approved budget is implemented in accordance with the projections contained in the Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (the “SDBIP”).
The information contained in this report has been reviewed and it is evident that adjustments to the capital and operating budgets will be necessary. When an adjustment budget is adopted, the SDBIP will need to be reviewed and adjusted.

Mayor’s Executive Summary
The Mid-year budget and performance report is an assessment of the performance of the municipality for the first six months of the 2015/2016 financial year. It serves as the mechanism which seeks to review the progress that is made in realizing the targets the municipality had set itself at the beginning of the financial year. Our duty as political principals of the municipality is to ensure the meaningful contribution in the eradication of poverty, unemployment and inequality in our municipal area. This can only be achieved through by playing constructive oversight role over municipal administration in their performance for the implementation of the Council approved service delivery and budget implementation plan.
As the Mayor of Mohokare municipality I take pride in presenting the mid-year report which reflects the performance of both service delivery and budget for the past two quarters of the 2015/2016 financial year.
The capital expenditure has underperformed by 15% out of the planned budgeted amount of R43 754 050 which gives a variance of R6 586 937 to the service delivery budget implementation plan (SDBIP). The under-spending resulted due to labor unrest on one capital project (Upgrade of Mofulatshepe Sports ground) which has brought this project to a standstill for the last three months of the period under review. The 3km access road (Smithfield) project had to be re-advertised. It is currently out on tender and spending are to commence once an appointment has been made after the closing date of the 05th of February 2016.
The operating income has underperformed by 21% out of the projected budget amount of
R76 674 630 which gives a variance of R16 170 271 to the service delivery and budget
implementation plan. Mohokare Local Municipality applied for a roll-over of unspent conditional
grant funds for the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The roll-over request was denied and as a
result, R7, 18 million was withheld from the first tranche of equitable share paid over during July
2015. If this amount is taken out of the calculation, underperformance on revenue drops to 11%
and another factor impacting the underperformance on revenue is the fact that the valuation roll
was implemented late due to technical issues.
The operating expenditure underperformed by 46% less out of planned budgeted amount of
R84 208 003 which gives a variance of R34 497 864 to the service delivery and budget
implementation plan. Mohokare Local Municipality is experiencing cash flow constraints, however
spending is monitored very closely and only crucial items which affects service delivery are
procured. Therefore the total actual achievement on the targets set for 2015/2016 Mid-year report
with reference service delivery and budget implementation plan resulted to 68.4%. I am hopeful
that as we approach the end of the financial year we will improve our budget performance for the
benefit of the current and future Mohokare.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank members of the public for their continuous support
and understanding in aspects with one intention, to have a better life for all. RE AHA MOTSE

2. SERVICE DELIVERY REPORTS
2.1 Technical Services
2.1.1 Introduction
The Technical Services Department has been structured to include the below mentioned divisions:
2.1.1.1 Project Management Unit
The PMU unit was established in March 2009 and its functions are to oversee the implementation of all MIG projects, but this function has however been extended to management of all Infrastructural projects within the Municipality.
The functions of the PMU are listed below:

The PMU of Mohokare LM is located within the technical department and has the following positions:
Senior PMU Technician - Vacant
PMU Technician - Mr SL Shamase
PMU Data Capturer - Ms D Kholanyane
PMU Intern - Ms N Stuurman
2.1.1.2 Drinking Water Services
The Municipality is currently both a Water Services Authority and a Water Services Provider. It provides water through three water systems that are located in each town. The Smithfield Water treatment plant has recently been upgraded and was commissioned in December 2013 while the Rouxville treatment is currently under construction (67% progress). The Municipality is currently busy with the construction of 15 km raw water pipeline in Zastron and progress made is at 48%. The Municipality conduct monthly water test as per SANS 241 in order to ensure that the supplied water is always good for human consumption.
2.1.1.3 Sanitation Services
The Municipality provides water borne sanitation as its basic minimum standard for sanitation service; however certain households within the three towns were still utilizing buckets systems as from the beginning of the financial year namely Zastron 34, Rouxville 777 and Smithfield 54. This number is gradually declining due to the bucket eradication program that is currently been implemented within the three towns.
2.1.1.4 Roads and Storm Water Division
The Municipality was unable to perform well in the first six months of the financial year in its roads and storm water division due to lack of fleet and roads maintenance machineries. However significant improvement on access roads were achieved with the

P a g e 16
construction of the 2.9 km access road in Matlakeng, the project is 98% complete and the road is currently been utilized. Other activities within this unit include patching of potholes in Zastron and cleaning of storm water channel in all three towns utilizing EPWP program.
2.1.1.5 Electricity
Although provision has been made for establishment of the electricity division in the Municipal organogram but its functions are limited to internal operational work (e.g. operation and maintenance of water and waste water treatment works, maintenance of Municipal buildings, etc.) as this service has been outsourced to CENTLEC.

As indicated in the above table, the municipality was not able to reach the provincial target of 44%.
Reasons for not meeting the target are listed below:
The main reason to the failure is as a result of one of our major projects, specifically the construction of 3km access road in Smithfield that was stopped following an instruction given by the high court.
Labour unrest on the Mofulatshepe: Upgrading of the sports grounds project. The strike is based on the structuring of the contracts whereby the workers are in a disagreement with the contractor, Johnny Bravo Trading. The workers have closed down the site and have indicated that they will not resume until the contact states that they will be paid out for days that they have not worked. There has been no work on site now for the past two (2) months.
No payment was made on the Zastron waste water treatment works project as the contractor has not fully established site.

3.2 REFUSE REMOVAL
Operations
The aforementioned division was and is still faced with a challenge regarding the effective removal of refuse.
Challenges
Our major challenges, particularly in Smithfield, that hampered the service delivery, is shortage of vehicles and frequent repairs and maintenance of the one`s we currently have, including the staff establishment/shortage. In Zastron and Rouxville, problems are mainly caused by unforeseen failure of vehicle/s and such, is treated or addressed as and when is happening.
In Zastron/Matlakeng A trailered tractor and a compactor truck are been utilised to remove the refuse in both Matlakeng and Zastron as per the towns programme. The services are effectively been provided except in cases where the reasons mentioned above, including the warm bodies interfere with our daily, weekly to monthly programmes. Rouxville/Roleleathunya and Smithfield/Mofulatshepe Apart from having challenges regarding shortage of staff, and constant repairs and maintenance of the BELL and Massey Fergusson tractors and tipper trailers in each town, the removal of refuse programme is and can be consistently adhered to.
Individual Towns report on machines/vehicles regarding the refuse removal is as below

3.3.7 Attach trends, comments and variances
One of the biggest challenges experienced by the town planning division is the search for possible
areas to develop more residential sites as there is such a huge need experienced. The three new
developments stated underneath are in need of basic services and the Dept. Technical services has
reported in terms of MIG for funding to develop the necessary infrastructure.
Extension 10 Zastron with 725 erven: Development to fit the housing market in all spheres are
anticipated with the assistance of Pula
Extension 6 Rouxville 855 erven
Greenfields Smithfield with 467 erven: Township register not open due to legal problems with
one property. It was referred for legal intervention and advice.
There is a need for church sites. It may be necessary to develop a policy in terms of a definition
of what is a church, the needs of such an organization and the structure that must be put up on a
site zoned for institutional purposes. (Proof of requests available at Dept. Community Services)
Erf 3675 Refeng Khotso has been earmarked for the relocation of the Mooifontein Primary
School. It is 3.5 hectares and can be suited for a primary school.
Adherence to building regulations is a huge challenge as people or not clued up on what is expected
of them. Structures are built without building plans. Education is necessary to explain the
importance thereof.
Control of hawkers and informal businesses is proving to be a huge challenge. Erven are identified
for development of a site for hawkers with formalized structures to accommodate hawkers and
their businesses

4.1.4 Workplace Labour Relations
Employers have a right, to maintain discipline in the workplace. This right is recognized in the LRA, which contains a Code of Good Practice: Dismissal setting out broad guidelines on dismissal for misconduct, incapacity and poor work performance, but which is relevant also to the maintenance of discipline. The function of discipline in the employment context is to ensure that individual employees contribute effectively and efficiently to the goals of the common enterprise. Production and the provision of services will clearly be impeded if employees are free to stay away from work when they pleas, to work at their own pace, to fight with their fellow employees, or to disobey their employers instructions. Hence it is the right and duty of employers to ensure that their employees adhere to reasonable standards of efficiency and conduct. The table below outlines all cases during the period under review;

4.3.3 Overtime / Standby
The rate of overtime is one and a half times the normal wage (i.e. money payable not his whole package), unless the employee is subsequently granted 30 minutes off on full pay for each hour of overtime worked at normal rates, or 90 minutes off if the overtime was not paid at all. Time in lieu of pay for overtime must be taken within a month of the time worked, unless the employee agrees in writing to a longer period of up to 12 months.
As a general rule employers may not compel their employees to perform non-contractual voluntary overtime work. Nor are employees obliged to work overtime for periods exceeding those prescribed in the BCEA or a collective agreement.
Overtime may not exceed ten (15) hours in any week and three (3) hours in any day of the week.
Currently situation is that employees are committed in executing overtime for a long period without prior approval of the Accounting Officer and proper commitment of the budget.
Overtime and Standby is the operation of the whole year (365 days) and reports justifying such financial commitment and utilization of staff are not present.

TABLE1 above shows that the municipality’s Capital Expenditure is underperforming by 15%. Also the municipality is under-performing on its Operating Income by 21%. The municipality has spent 46% less of its operating budget as planned at this time. The following matters attributed to the underperformance on the planned budget to date:
Mohokare Local Municipality Mid-year report 2015/2016
P a g e 46
Capital expenditure The under-spending resulted due to labor unrest on one capital project (Upgrade of Mofulatshepe Sportsground) which has brought this project to a standstill for the last three months of the period under review. The 3km access road (Smithfield) project had to be re-advertised. It is currently out on tender and spending are to commence once an appointment has been made. Operating income Mohokare Local Municipality applied for a roll-over of unspent conditional grant funds for the financial year ended 30 June 2015. The roll-over request was denied and as a result, R7, 18 million was withheld from the first tranche of equitable share paid over during July 2015. If this amount is taken out of the calculation, underperformance on revenue drops to 11%. Another factor impacting the underperformance on revenue is the fact that the valuation roll was implemented late due to technical issues. 5.2.1. Operating Income The following table displays the operating income per revenue source from 01 July - 31 December 2015 (comparing revenue budget against revenue actually billed) TABLE 2.1: REVENUE BY SOURCE ABLE 2.1: REVENUE BY SOURCE
The
main reasons for the significant variances are:
1. Electricity – Electricity’s billing is done at Centlec, therefore the billed amount will be shown in our financial system as soon as the consolidated amounts are updated in the system.
2. Traffic Fines –The traffic fines for the first six months has not been accounted for fully. Only the traffic fines received has been accounted for. As a bulk of the traffic fines are issued over the festive season, these amounts will only be processed during the month of January.
3. Sundry Income – The budgeted figure includes expected cash flow incomes (Cash flow based) such as VAT receivable. Due to an ongoing audit from the South African Revenue Services, no amounts pertaining to VAT has been refunded to the municipality to date. These amounts will only be received once SARS has finalized the audit on their side.

Apart from Electricity, the collection rate of other revenue sources is low. The main reasons for the significant variances are:
1. Electricity – Centlec’s consolidated amounts were not yet updated in the accounting system therefore electricity revenue shows an actual amount of Rnil.
2. Other services – The low collection rate on other services stems from the fact that Mohokare Local Municipality has a very large indigent base of users who are mainly grant dependent. Mohokare Local Municipality is however actively implementing the debt collection policy by handing over all large outstanding debtors to attorneys.

From the above table it can be seen that the Operating Expenditure of the municipality is underspent by 45.72%. As Mohokare Local Municipality are experiencing cash flow constraints, spending is monitored very closely and only crucial items which affects service delivery are procured. This is the main reason for the under-spending in directorates as currently reported in the above table. COMMENTS: Further attributes to the under-spending are discussed below Technical Services

Electricity division votes: Fuel & Oil amounting to R 750,000 and Repairs and Maintenance of Street lights and Meters amounting to R 1,500,000 shows actual spending of zero. As the electricity function is outsourced to Centlec SOC, all amounts included in the budget are based on the budget we receive from them to incorporate in our annual budget. The actual expenditure on these items are only incorporated into the trial balance of Mohokare Local Municipality once we receive the final trial balance from Centlec to consolidate into our year-end annual financial statements.

As can be seen from the table above, the employee related costs as reported are mainly in line with the budgeted amounts. FINANCIAL SERVICES The overspending of employee costs in the finance department can be attributed to incorrect budgeting. This figure will be investigated and corrected with the adjustment budget. COUNCIL Under-spending in respect of the Council budget relates to the fact that the newly gazetted upper-limits relating to Councilors was only received during the month of December 2015. This document will be taken to Council for approval in January 2016 and once approved it will be implemented retrospectively. COMMUNITY SERVICES Under-spending in respect of the Community Services budget can be attributed to the financial constraints which the municipality is facing. Due to this fact, upon the resignation/ passing away etc. of an employee, no new appointments were made to replace these employees. This comment is also supported by the overall decrease in number of employees of the Municipality.

It is a known fact that there is a high unemployment rate within the jurisdiction of Mohokare Local Municipality. For this reason, the debtors remain outstanding for long periods hence debtors over 120 days account are over 80% of the debtor’s book as can be seen in TABLE 5. However the municipality intends to appoint a Debt Collector to assist with the implementation of the credit and debt collection policy of the Municipality. 5.2.5 Government Grants TABLE 6: GOVERNMENT GRANTS

5.3 CORRECTIVE MEASURES
5.3.1 General corrective measures
Capital projects and expenditure needs to be prioritized
We need to identify risk areas where possible additional costs may be incurred

6. LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
6.1 INTRODUCTION
This report is intended to cover some activities and programs which the LED Unit was involved in in the past six months. The said activities among others included the following:
6.1.1 LED STRATEGY REVIEW
The LED Strategy was reviewed and adopted by council in 2014 and will be an economic development guiding document for the next five years. Important to note is the fact that the document was reviewed on a zero based budget thanks to the support of SALGA, Treasury, COGTA, MISA and local stakeholders.
6.1.2 XHARIEP RURAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Mohokare Local municipality’ stakeholders participated in the compilation of Xhariep District Rural Development Strategy. The program of information gathering was coordinated be KENA consultants whose services were procured by the department of Rural Development and Land Reform. Mohokare’ stakeholders’ inputs amongst others were on:
Agriculture support and agro-processing
Tourism
SMMEs development
Commercialization of Makhaleng border post
Upgrading of the S5 gravel road to Makhaleng
Skills training college for Mohokare
Manufacturing industries for Mohokare etc.
6.1.3 SMALL TOWNS REGENERATION
The Small Towns Regeneration Program is a joint project between national Treasury and the department of Rural Development and Land Reform, and is intended to bring and inject economic vibrancy and job creation into small towns. The town of Zastron was identified and nominated as an area where this program is going to be piloted and later be extended to Rouxville and Smithfield. A Steering Committee consisting of both local and provincial stakeholders has been established and its primary task will be to champion the economic regeneration of Zastron town.
6.1.4 SMMEs DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
This is a joint program run by Department of Economic and Small Business Development Tourism and Environmental Affairs (DESTEA) and the Local Economic Development Unit of the municipality. The program is intended to give the necessary support to local cooperatives, hawkers and tuck shop owners. The program is made easier and less complicated by filling a questionnaire that requires information about the background of one’s business, whether is operating or still on concept stage as well as the kind of support the business is in need of. The process of filling forms will unfold in all the three towns and shall be followed by the screening of the forms as well as one-on-one interaction with applicants. The last and final stage will be that of linking different applicants with potential funders. So far the program has unfolded smoothly in Zastron and will be extended to Rouxville and Smithfield during the second week of January 2016.

6.1.5 SMMEs DEVELOPMENT POLICY
This policy has been developed by the LED Unit with a sole purpose of protecting and prioritizing usage of local contractors and SMMEs when municipality procure goods and services and other related supply chain management activities. The LED Unit has observed over a period that local contractors remain inactive for a long period and in the process the grading of their companies remains low with limited prospects of improving or upgrading. Remaining with low grading disadvantages them when bids of higher grading are being advertised, hence the current challenge where none locally based companies being the ones that benefit mostly from municipal procurement processes. In worst case scenario tax clearance certificates are often left to expire because of this non-activism of their companies. This policy will be referred to the council sitting scheduled for December 2015 and after its adoption it will be enforced
6.1.6 DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE STRATEGY
Mohokare Local Municipality’s economy relies more on agriculture. Though this case may be, municipality never had an agriculture Strategy or Plan that talks to agriculture development and opportunities that can be beneficial to our emerging farmers. A strategy does not only talk to opportunities but it also reflects on the challenges while at the same time provides possible solution to identified challenges. It is within this background the LED has compiled and drafted agriculture Strategy for the institution as well as commonage farmers. This document shall be referred to council for adoption and once adopted shall be reviewed annually in line with municipal IDP and Local Economic Development Strategy.
6.1.7 TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
During this quarter the LED Unit proposed to council a different approach in as far as tourism development is concerned. The Unit proposed that council must advertise for business proposals on tourism with an intention of appointing a private entrepreneur with whom to partner and advance the tourism development agenda. The advert was made public on print media and on municipal website and was able to attract three interested bidders. All the three shall be afforded an opportunity to come and make presentation to management where upon the latter shall recommend to council who should be appointed. This whole processes shall be concluded before end January 2016
6.1.8 LAND ACQUISITION FOR PROJECTS
The municipality through its LED Unit has an obligation to create enabling environment for local economic development, job creation and poverty alleviation. In order to live up to this obligation the LED Unit presented to management and council the approval of the following applications for land to start projects.
Leratha Cooperative for poultry farming
Sakhisizwe Venture Cooperative for vegetable farming
Zondwazintshaba cooperative for sand stone
Mohloding Resource and Development for stone crusher plant In all these arrangement the land in question belongs to municipality and is leased out to individual cooperatives with an option of selling in an instance there is such an interest from the cooperatives. The LED Unit is further involved in securing support for the said coops.
6.1.9 LED SEDA PARTNERSHIP WITH LERATHA
Leratha is a locally based cooperative that has secured land from municipality to start poultry farming project. The LED Unit introduced the coop to SEDA and in turn the Agency agreed to adopt the cooperative and will be assisting it with the development of a business plan. When the

7.2.7 Satellite Internet has been moved forward due to financial constraints
7.3 IT Workshops
Using computers to facilitate training exercises may avoid the loss of productivity
that usually comes with new employees learning computer systems on the job.
Learning how to operate software you've never worked with before can be much
easier if you already have a solid foundation of computer experience on which to
build.
Four (4) computer training workshops were held, 2 workshops in a quarter, for
employees and councillors. (Attendance Registers attached)
7.4 Website Development
-A preliminary redesign of the intranet website has been done.

Risk Management
Introduction
Risk Management is a systematic process to identify, evaluate and address risks on a continuous basis before such risks can impact negatively on the institution’s service delivery capacity.
MFMA, section 62 (1) (c) (i) states that the Accounting Officer of a municipality is responsible for the municipality, and must for this purpose take all reasonable steps to ensure that the municipality has and maintains effective, efficient and transparent systems off financial and risk management and internal control.
Treasury Regulations section 3.2.1 further prescribes that the Accounting Officer must ensure that a risk assessment is conducted regularly to identify emerging risks of the institution. A risk management strategy, which must include a fraud prevention plan, must be used to direct internal audit effort and priority, and to determine the skills required of managers and staff to improve controls and to manage these risks.
