Municipal Quarterly Report- July-September 2011
The Documentation
A Service Delivery Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP), and Departmental Service Delivery and Budget
Implementation Plans for each of the departments of the municipality, in line with appropriate guidelines and
legislation, must be developed annually. Section 57 Employees are required to sign a Performance Agreement, as
prescribed in the Local Government: Municipal Performance Regulations for Municipal Managers and Managers
Directly Accountable to the Municipal Manager, in line with published regulations and/or amendments
Reviewing Performance
Two review sessions are held as follows:
1. A midyear review is conducted in January to assess the relevance of the objectives as well as the Employee’s
performance against the objectives. The mid-year performance score is used to determine the link to non-
financial rewards.
2. A compulsory formal final review is conducted at the end of the financial year i.e. in June (assessment to be
conducted in July). The final performance score is used to determine the link to non-financial rewards. A
learning plan for the Employee must be developed at the end of the final review.
A fully functional Performance Management System (PMS) has been introduced in the Lejweleputswa District
Municipality, consisting of the following elements (or sub-systems):
(1) IDP goals and objectives represent the long-term (5 year) performance indicators and targets for the
municipality over the term of the elected Council.
(2) The IDP indicators and targets are annually aligned to the municipal budget on an activity level (programmes
and projects) as part of the IDP review process.
(3) Funded IDP goals, objectives, strategies, programmes and projects are annually cascaded down into the
municipal Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP), where it is translated into annual
municipal key performance indicators and targets.
(4) IDP activities are also cascaded down to Departmental SDBIPs (one for each of the different Departments of
the Municipality); a process whereby the responsibility for the implementation of the IDP is aligned with the --
(5) annual individual Performance Plans (which is part of the Performance Agreements of the respective section
57 managers), because the departmental SDBIPs are used as a reference source for the formulation of the key
performance indicators and targets against which the different section 57 managers will be evaluated and
performance assessed.

Municipal Quarterly Report- July-September 2011
Municipal PMS1
The municipal monitoring and evaluation system, which is one of two main sub-elements within the Performance
Management System (the other one being the individual PMS), is directed in terms of the Organizational
Performance Management Policy of the municipality and has the following features:
(1) The Municipality derives its inputs, outputs and outcomes indicators from the IDP.
(2) The required key performance indicators specified in the Municipal Planning and Performance Regulations
(Regulation 10) are included in the municipal SDBIP to be measured as part of the quarterly measurement of
municipal performance projected in the municipal SDBIP.
(3) The Municipality annually review its key performance indicators as part of the process of reviewing its IDP,
PMS and SDBIPs, as required in Regulation 11 of the Municipal Planning and Performance Management
Regulations.
(4) The Municipality attempts to structure its planning and organising systems and processes in such a manner
that it is capable of complying with Regulation 12 of the Municipal Planning and Performance Management
Regulations, 2001, as it relate to the setting of key performance targets. The Key Performance Targets of the
Municipality will therefore be –
practical and realistic;
measure the efficiency, effectiveness, quality and impact of the performance of the municipality,
administrative component, structure, body or person for whom a target has been set;
commensurate with available resources;
commensurate with the municipality’s capacity; and
consistent with the municipality’s development priorities and objectives set out in its integrated
development plan.

Municipal Quarterly Report- July-September 2011
(5) A multi-year plan (Departmental Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan) is prepared for each of the
Departments in the municipality. These Plans are requirements for the structured cascading down of the IDP
to implementation levels in the municipality.
(6) A Municipal (to-layer) Service Delivery and Budget Implementation Plan (SDBIP) is then compiled to integrate
the individual Departmental SDBIPs and guide the design and development of an organisational scorecard for
the Municipality in respect of planned performance for a specific financial year.
(7) The Municipality align its budget with its Municipal (top-layer) Service Delivery and Budget Implementation
Plan as part of the annual planning and budgeting processes as prescribed in the Municipal Systems Act, 2000
and the Municipal Finance Management Act, 2003.
(8) The Municipality annually reviews its institutional performance scorecard. The scorecard reflects a balanced
approach to measuring, reviewing and assessing organisational performance. In this regard the word balanced
implies that the scorecard must reflect the Key Performance Areas and IDP Objectives of the Municipal IDP.
(9) Performance planning and monitoring in the municipality is done according to the format of the prescribed
five Key Performance Areas, which are derived from Government’s strategic agenda for District government,
which are:
Basic Service Delivery and Infrastructure;
District Economic Development;
Financial Viability and Management;
Institutional Transformation and Organizational Development; and
Good Governance and Public Participation.

100% It could be interpreted to say that whilst the % seems low, the spending could be expected to rise in the later quarters. Caution should be taken regarding delays in the actual capital project implementation not impede budget spending. It is therefore important to also conduct project and contract management to ensure that any punitive measures are implemented as a result of non-compliance from parties involved in the project.

Pamphlets ( Sport Tourism)
R200,000 - - 1 Done Tour de Free State was an event convened by Free State Tourism Authority with assistance from district and local municipalities. The event was a cycling event in Phakisa with the Free State Tourism Authority taking a lead as tourism champions. The event was held in the four district municipaliities and the metropolitan municipality of the province. Our role was to ensure that we market the district through distribution of pamphlets and putting marketing materials in the venue. We have also ferried people to and from the venue to raise awareness and inspire communities to take cycling as another sport of interest in the province. The department has also ensured that we send officials in two of the tour venues which in this case happened in both the Fezile Dabi District Municipality ( Parys) and Mangaung metropolitan municipality (Bloemfontein).
5 We have earmarked the printing of materials to distribute during the event but have realized that we had enough materials for the event and therefore used the money for a different purpose for the benefit of ensuring that the event becomes a success. It was a lesson we have learnt that we could amend a plan to serve the same purpose.
