The MTSF (2014 – 2019) Strategic focus:

Radical Economic Transformation.

Improving Services Delivery.

Some of the key priorities:

Ensuring access to adequate human settlements and quality basic services.

How will government measure success on achieving its objectives?

If you do not measure results, you cannot tell success from failure.

If cannot recognise failure, you cannot correct it.

If you cannot see success you cannot learn from it. Slide5

SA Service Delivery Challenges – History

A lot has been achieved by government to redress the injustices of the past, particularly the provision of basic services.

More ten million people have been provided with adequate housing.

Access to basic services such as water, electricity and sanitation has been significantly expanded.

There remains however serious service delivery backlogs that need to be eradicated.Slide7

SA Service Delivery Challenges – History

There is a growing number of people living in informal settlements.

Millions of people still don’t have access to basic water, electricity and sanitation.

Municipality are struggling in some cases to maintain infrastructures such as bulk water, electricity, sanitation and road infrastructure.

Service delivery gains are therefore being reversed. Slide8

SA Service Delivery Challenges – History

Poorly

serviced or absence of proper infrastructure contributes to low economic activity and investment, which leads to unemployment.

Unemployment creates a vicious cycle of poor service delivery.

The unemployed cannot pay services which puts a burden on central government to provide funding to municipalities for the provision of the same services. Slide9
