7 INTRODUCTION Since 1994 South Africa has embarked on several programmes towards building a better life for all by providing, amongst others, shelter and basic services for the poorest of communities in the country. As part of the system of developmental local government, and in terms of the Municipal Systems Act, municipalities are required to develop Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) that are to serve as the basis for service delivery. According to the Housing Act, 1997 section 9(1)(f), every MUNICIPALITY must, as part of the MUNICIPALITY s process of integrated development planning, take all reasonable and necessary steps within the framework of national and provincial housing legislation and policy to initiate, plan, coordinate, facilitate, promote and enable appropriate housing development in its area of jurisdiction.

8 In order to fulfil its role, every MUNICIPALITY must carry out the following housing-related functions: Health and Safety: Ensure that conditions not conducive to the health and safety of the inhabitants of its area of jurisdiction are prevented or removed. Efficient Services: Ensure that services in respect of water, sanitation, electricity, roads, storm water drainage and transport are provided in a manner that is economically efficient. Housing Delivery Goals: Set housing delivery goals in respect of its area of jurisdiction. Land for Housing: Identify and designate land for housing development.

9 Public Environment: Create and maintain a public environment conducive to housing development, which is financially and socially viable. Conflict Resolution: Promote the resolution of conflicts arising in the housing development process. Bulk and Revenue Generating Services: Provide bulk engineering services, and revenue generating services in so far as specialist utility suppliers do not provide such services. Land Use: Plan and manage land use and development. Housing Development: Initiate, plan, co-ordinate, facilitate, promote and enable appropriate housing development in its area of jurisdiction.

10 The mechanism to be used to achieve the above is the sustainable human Settlement Plan (SHSP) which, in essence, aims to achieve the objectives as depicted in the table below: SEDIBENG DISTRICT MUNICIPALITY sustainable human SETTLEMENT PLAN 4 Table 1: Objectives and Outcomes of the SHSP SHSP Objectives SHSP Outcomes Points of Departure To develop a comprehensive housing development and delivery plan for municipalities in Gauteng Province providing strategic direction and guidance to the municipalities as to key housing delivery priorities and focus in terms of housing delivery in the Province.
