The budget presentation summarizes the eThekwini Municipality's budget and key financial information. It notes the municipality has good liquidity and collection rates, the largest capital budget in South Africa, and an unqualified audit. However, it faces challenges like infrastructure backlogs, rising bulk costs, and bringing public transport under municipal control. The presentation outlines spending on services, achievements, proposed tariff increases below inflation, and integrated management approaches to improve service delivery.

BUDGET PRESENTATION

“Cities that have a close relationship /
partnership with business are winning cities”

2. INTRODUCTION
• Draft budget presented to DCCI on 20 March 2013
• Regional hearings and Big Mama workshop held
• Varying issues raised depending on the area – some areas concerned
about verge cutting and potholes whilst other areas are concerned
about housing and basic services
• Crime and unemployment were also raised
• Informal traders
• Need to ensure that the social, economic and rehabilitative balance
is in place
• Need to focus on ensuring that all have access to basic services and
maximising job creation opportunities
“Empty pockets teaches you a million things in life. But full pockets spoils you in a million
ways”

3. CONTEXT &
CHALLENGES

4.  Good liquidity – average cash holdings of R5 billion equating to about
96 days cash on hand
 Highest collection rates in the country for the past two financial years
(2010/2011 and 2011/2012). In current financial year 2012/2013 the
collection rate is 103.5% year to date – up from 97.5% in 2011/2012
 Highest spend on Maintenance and Repairs in the country – 11%
 Biggest capital budget in the country R5.432 billion
 Unqualified audit report
 Excellent credit rating – best in municipal sector
 However, Municipality not cash rich – just prudently and well
managed
 Excellent political support in implementing policies
FINANCIAL POSITION

5.  Strict compliance with supply chain management policy, VFM &
benchmarking given key focus
 Sustainability of housing provision from current financing
sources
 Infrastructure and service delivery backlogs
 Bulk purchase costs:
- Eskom 8% average increase
- Umgeni Water 8% increase
 Minimal level of growth major costs to unblock development –
return on investments
 Impact of bringing Durban Transport back under the City’s
control
 Unaccounted for water and theft of electricity
THE CHALLENGES

6. DEVELOPERS
• Want to pay minimal amount for bulk services
• Providing infrastructure without an informed spatial
development framework
• Not prepared to guarantee an uptake
• Only 0.1% of total revenue derived from development
charges
• Not sustainable – need development levy
• Serviced industrial land – business must come up with
the business plan and demonstrate reasonable return on
investment and take-up
“No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some
great service, not for itself, but for others.. or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and
ceases to exist.” – Calvin Coolidge

7. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REBATE
• Rating Policy – targeted relief on big developments being
considered
• Developments that fall within the Development node approved
by Council may receive a rebate as approved by Council on
application and will be limited to :
- For a period of three years from date of development plan
approved, for investments with a property market value,
between R150 million to R300 million;
- For a period of five years from the date the development plan
is approved, for investments with a property market value,
between R300 million to R1 billion, post development; and
- The rebates above will be deferred to the next financial year
and will be apportioned in accordance with the completion and
transfer of units within the development in terms of the rates
policy.

8. SDF – STRATEGIC INVESTMENT AREAS
• Port of Durban – logistics infrastructure
• Illovo – freight route, automotive supply park
• Back of Port – economic, manufacturing & trading hub
• Dube Tradeport – promotion of international trade - discussed
later in more detail
• Cato Ridge – industrial expansion and dry port
• South Durban Basin – regenerating the industrial base –
creating cleaner, greener industries, improving QOL and
stimulating new development
• Inner City – iTRUMP - regeneration
“The first rule of any technology used in a business is
that automation applied to an efficient operation will
magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation
applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the
inefficiency.” – Bill Gates

9. USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT
• How do we ensure maximum use?
• IRTPN – success dependent on densification and effective
nodes being created
• Cannot sustain individuals traveling to work in own vehicles
– need a credible and reliable public transport system
“Never feel bad if people remember
you only at the time of their need. Feel
privileged that they think of you like a
candle in the darkness of their life”

10. • The system consists, inter-alia :
– Roads
• Road works
• Bridges
• Interchanges
• Intersections
– Associated buildings
• Terminal Stations
• Transfer Stations
• Depots
– Information and Communication
Technology (ICT)
– Fare and revenue collection systems

It best suits companies with aspirations that exceed
their resources. You should be driven by a motivation
to reach out and gain market share, develop new
markets, and leverage your current position."
