5 VISION, MISSION AND VALUES Vision and Mission statements are the starting points for strategy DEVELOPMENT . As a rule, vision and mission are determined early on in the strategic planning process. The vision is a statement of what the municipality seeks to achieve. It is directed towards the future and briefly states the Municipality s purpose, its reason for existence. A vision should express the essential purpose of the Municipality, ideally in one, concise, sentence. This statement should not change even if the internal and external environmental factors impacting on the Municipality change, unless a major DEVELOPMENT takes place which changes the purpose of the Municipality s existence. The vision provides the direction for a Municipality s strategies, objectives and implementation plans. In fact, vision is that igniting spark that can inspire and energise people to do better. The focus of a vision is to reach out hungrily for the future and drag it into the present.

6 The latest trend in many organisations is to apply the "VIP" approach "Vision INTEGRATED Performance." Articulating a vision is the soul-searching activity, where an organisation tries to answer the critical questions like `why are we here' and 'where are we today'? This analysis of the present is essential, because it provides the true picture of today from where we begin the journey towards the future. The vision is a compelling but not controlling force that shows us where we what to be. This document will assist the Lephalale Local Municipality in answering these questions. The long term vision of Lephalale Local Municipality follows: A sustainable vibrant city and the energy hub The Mission is: We are committed to rural DEVELOPMENT , provision of quality , sustainable and affordable services, financial viability and good governance, local economic DEVELOPMENT and job creation . The Values of Lephalale Local Municipality underpin quality and they are: Value Description Community orientation Provide and deliver sustainable services for the whole community.

7 Transparency Invite and encourage public sharing and democratic participation in council s activities. Commitment Focus and concentrate on council s core activities in a consistent manner. Integrity Conduct council s business in a fair, responsible, flexible, equitable and honest manner. Accountability Report regularly to all stakeholders regarding council s actual performance. Environmental Care With all the DEVELOPMENT in Lephalale, the municipality will focus on taking care of the environment. Empowerment To be seen to be empowering our people, knowledge is power. Performance orientation Continually evaluates and measure performance against set target 7 The description defines the complexities of the existence of Lephalale and clearly articulates the vision for the next 20 years and beyond. Lephalale Local Municipality has been identified by LEGDP as a petrochemical cluster and has attained the status of national DEVELOPMENT node.

8 The coal fields which boast more than 40% of the total coal reserve of South Africa are located in Lephalale. The Waterberg Coal Field is estimated to contain a resource base of 50 billion tons; of which billion tons can be mined by opencast method (coal is sufficiently close to surface that it does not require the sinking of a shaft). It is against this background that Lephalale has crafted its vision to become one of the vibrant cities within the Limpopo Province. Hence, we define a city as a relatively large and permanent settlement with complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of DEVELOPMENT greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process and improving the quality of lives of the people of Waterberg Region. CHAPTER ONE 1. The planning framework. Introduction. The INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT plan (IDP) is a process through which the municipalities prepare strategic DEVELOPMENT plans for a five-year period.

9 An IDP is one of the key instruments for local government to cope with its new developmental role and seeks to arrive at decisions on issues such as municipal budgets, land management , promotion of local economic DEVELOPMENT and institutional transformation in a consultative system and strategic manner. In order to ensure that certain minimum quality standards of the IDP review process and proper coordination between and within spheres of government, municipalities need to prepare review process plan of the IDP and formulate budget for implementation purpose. Lephalale Municipal Planning Process. During September 2016, Lephalale Municipality council approved the IDP, budget and PMS process plan for the 2017 / 2018 IDP review. This plan was adopted in accordance with sections 28 of the MSA and relevant legal prescripts have dictated the process followed in reviewing the IDP.

10 The Municipality has a functional IDP steering committee consisting of management , technical working team and representatives from Office of the Premier and CoGHSTA to ensure a smooth compilation and implementation of the plan . There is an IDP representative forum to ensure community participation by stakeholders representing various constituencies. 8 Phases and activities of the IDP process. Analysis phase: compilation and reconciling of existing information through community participation and stakeholder involvement and other spheres of government. These involve the Municipality level and spatial analysis of DEVELOPMENT issues for presentation. In-depth analysis of priority issues within sector alignment for consolidated results. Strategies phase: Draw up vision statement for determining working objectives for localised strategic and spatial guidelines. Define resource framework and design financial strategies for creating alternative funding.
