EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The District Development Model announced by the President seeks to address the silos and the lack of
coherence of planning and implementation in all spheres of governance.
The purpose of the launches is, amongst others, to kick-start a diagnostic towards One Plan for
implementation in each of the districts in the country. The plan will ensure that government plans and
implements in unison with other stakeholders over the short, medium and long terms. This plan will also do
away with the current challenges of poor intergovernmental coordination, planning, budgeting and
implementation.
The aim of this report is to provide a development profile of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality
(NMMDM). The report also provides an analysis of the key development trends in the NMMDM area.
In addition to providing a development profile for the NMMDM, the report also identifies key challenges,
which include significantly high levels of poverty, high unemployment rates, jobless growth in the economy,
and an overall declining economy that is, in part perpetuated by apartheid spatial patterns.
The Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality (NMMDM) is one of the four district municipalities (DMs)
in the North West Province (NWP) with a total extend of 28 206 km². According to Statistics South Africa
Community Survey (STATSSA CS) 2016, NMMDM has a total population of 889 108. It is comprised of
five Local Municipalities (LMs) namely, Ditsobotla LM, Mahikeng LM, Ramotshere Moiloa LM, Ratlou
LM and Tswaing LM. NMMDM is centrally located amongst Bojanala Platinum DM, Dr Ruth Segomotsi
Mompati DM and Dr Kenneth Kaunda DM within the NWP and shares a boundary with the Republic of
Botswana to the north “a gateway to the broader Southern African Development Countries (SADC) region”,
the Northern Cape Province to the South-west and Limpopo Province to the north-east.
The main economic activities across the District is Agriculture which include both Crops and Livestock, Arts
and Culture in some areas, Tourism in some areas, and Mining which is confined to some isolated areas. The
Capital City of the Province, Mahikeng, with all the government buildings, provide employment to many
thousands of government employees as well as other related industries.
According to Ngaka Modiri Molema IDP (2017/2022), its strategic location offers great opportunities
towards the economic development of the District underpinned by various development corridors namely:
 Platinum Corridor (N4), which stretches from the east to the west of NMMDM connecting the
Republic of South Africa with the Republic of Botswana and Republic of Mozambique.
 The N18 Western Frontier Corridor N18; and
 The N14 route provides the link between Gauteng and the Northern Cape Province and it is
supported by the Johannesburg- Vryburg railway line which is also joining up with the
Johannesburg- Cape Town railway line in the West.
This illustrates the economic opportunities that lie within the district and the potential to create much-needed
jobs, reduce poverty and inequality. It is in this context that municipal socio-economic conditions should
inform resource allocation and effective, efficient and accountable use of resources is of paramount
importance. The report will as a result focus three critical pillars which are population dynamics which
should always be considered by each local municipality when planning and distributing resources,
development indicators which the plan and resources used by the municipality must transform and finally,
infrastructure provision.
In respect of the recent Covid-19 outbreak, as at 5 June 2020, the total number of cases for the district is 19,
zero deaths have been recorded and there are 5 recoveries which is 26% recovery of the district. The district
has identified 8 quarantine sites with 448 beds, the quarantine sites are currently fully operational except one
which is Groot Marico.
1. INTRODUCTION: BRIEF OVERVIEW
1.1. Location
The Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality (NMMDM) is a Category C municipality i.e. a
municipality that has municipal executive and legislative authority in an area that includes more than one
municipality. NMMDM is one of four district municipalities in the North West Province(NWP) of South
Africa and covers an area of approximately 28 114km².
Mahikeng, which is the city of the district has an International Airport with necessary capacity to be
operational, however the airport has been closed for some years now and is not in use.
Figure 1.1: Location of Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in the North-West Province (NWP) of
South Africa.
1.2. Historical Perspective
In 1995 November, Local Government (LG) elections took place and initiated the establishment of district
municipalities in the country. In our case, the district municipality was called Central Transitional Council.
The Council was compiled of plus/minus fourty – five councillors, who elected the late Mr Poo as the
Chairman of the Council. Since the District did not have facilities back then to facilitate their quarterly
meetings, it relied on Mafikeng Local Municipalities to host such meetings. Then Central Transitional
District Council was responsible for rural development function, while Mafikeng Local Municipality was
responsible for servicing the town and the surrounding suburbs. Rural development function was comprised
of building of community halls, provision of water and sanitation, provision of electricity, roads construction
and development of Small Medium and Micro Enterprise (SMMEs).
The Country went for the second term LG elections and once more registered history in 2001. The Central
Transitional District Council (CTDC) was then named Central District Municipality (CDM). This was the
time when Local Municipalities (LMs) were established and most of the functions of the district were
devolved to LMs. The acts that govern LG were also developed and enacted by the President of the country,
which resulted in the review of the district’s functions, where Local Economic Development (LED), spatial
transformation, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, promotion of tourism and their value chain became
priority functions of the District.
After 2006 LG elections, CDM was renamed after its multi - layered iconic legend called Dr Silas Modiri
Molema. This renaming process was fulfilled through public participation and all relevant processes. The
month of November was declared the month of Dr Silas Modiri Molema through Council Resolution in 2007
and it is to be celebrated District wide on an annual basis.
1.3. Economic Drivers/Sectors
NMMDM as a strategically located District, through its development corridors such N4, N18 and N14 has
the potential to raise the bar on the District economy underpinned by diverse tourism sector which ranges
from home of big five and international graded resorts at Madikwe Game Reserve to trophy hunting in
Ramotshere Moiloa and Bird Century at Tswaing LM, prominent agricultural sector, manufacturing sector as
well as mining sector.
1.4. Spatial Status
NMMDM is situated at the centre of NWP and shares an international border with Botswana. It comprises of
five local municipalities: Mahikeng LM, Ratlou LM, Ramotshere Moiloa LM, Ditsobotla LM and Tswaing
LM. Mahikeng house the provincial capital of the North West province. The major town is Mmabatho.
Figure 1.2: Towns and potential heritage towns that can be developed to into economic hubs. .
1.5. Land Ownership
To date, some progress has been made in the land claim processes in Ngaka Modiri
Molema District Municipality. Out of the 138 land claims that have been lodged, 118 (85.5%) were settled.
Moreover, of the remaining 14.5% (20) of the land claims, the majority is partially complete.
The map below depicts the land reform and restitution areas in the district municipality.
2. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROFILE
2.1. Key Social Demographics
2.1.1. Population
Population statistics is important when analysing an economy, as the population growth directly and
indirectly impacts employment and unemployment, as well as other economic indicators such as economic
growth and per capita income.
Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality is home to 947 000 people which is 1.6% of South Africa's total
population or 23.3% of the total population in the North-West Province. Between 2008 and 2018, the
population growth averaged 1.33% per annum, which was just below the growth rate of the province and
South Africa at 1.97% and 1.61%, respectively. The Ditsobotla Local Municipality increased the most, in
terms of population, with an average annual growth rate of 1.7%, the Mafikeng Local Municipality had the
second highest growth in terms of its population, with an average annual growth rate of 1.5%. The Ratlou
Local Municipality had the lowest average annual growth rate of 0.55% relative to the other within the
Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality.
Based on the present age-gender structure and the present fertility, mortality and migration rates, Ngaka
Modiri Molema's population is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.6% from 947 000 in 2018 to
1.02 million in 2023. The North-West Province is estimated to have average growth rate of 1.6% which is
1
higher than the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality. The South Africa as a whole is estimated to
have an average annual growth rate of 1.4% which is lower than that of Ngaka Modiri Molema's growth rate.
2.1.2. Race Gender and Age
The total population of a region is the total number of people within that region measured in the middle of
the year. Total population can be categorised according to the population group, as well as the sub-
categories of age and gender. The population groups include African, White, Coloured and Asian, where the
Asian group includes all people originating from Asia, India and China. The age subcategory divides the
population into 5-year cohorts, e.g. 0-4, 5-9, 10-13, etc.

2.1.5.8 HIV AND AIDS

HIV and AIDS can have a substantial impact on the growth of a particular population. However, there are
many factors affecting the impact of the HIV virus on population progression: adult HIV prevalence rates;
the speed at which the virus progresses; age distribution of the virus; the mother-to-child transmission; child
treatment; adult treatment; and the percentage by which the virus decreases total fertility. ARV treatment can
also prolong the lifespan of people that are HIV+. In the absence of any treatment, people diagnosed with
HIV live for approximately 10 years before reaching the final stage of the disease (called AIDS). When
patients reach this stage, recovery is highly unlikely.
In 2020, 134 000 people in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality were infected with HIV. This
reflects an increase at an average annual rate of 2.26% since 2010, and in 2020 represented 13.67% of the
district municipality's total population. The North-West Province had an average annual growth rate of
2.50% from 2010 to 2020 in the number of people infected with HIV, which is higher than that of the Ngaka
Modiri Molema District Municipality. When looking at the South Africa as a whole it can be seen that the
number of people that are infected increased from 2010 to 2020 with an average annual growth rate of
2.31%.
The lifespan of people that are HIV+ could be prolonged with modern ARV treatments. In the absence of
any treatment, people diagnosed with HIV can live for 10 years and longer before they reach the final AIDS
stage of the disease.

3. SERVICE DELIVERY
3.1 Water and Sanitation
3.1.1 Access to Water
The District uses the Local Municipalities as Water Services Providers (WSPs) for operation and
maintenance of sewer treatment works and retail water reticulation systems in the urban towns of its
jurisdiction. It also uses the services of Sedibeng Water as the bulk water supply WSP for the town of
Mahikeng, Zeerust and the town.

from groundwater resources. The main source of surface water is Setumo Dam which supplies
approximately 40% of the water needs of Mahikeng and its immediate surrounding areas. The balance of the
water is from groundwater with the primary source being the Grootpan/ Lichtenburg/ Grootfontein/ Zeerust
(GLGZ) dolomitic formation, which presently supplies the balance of water to Mahikeng, as well as portions
of Ditsobotla and Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipalities.

4 GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
4.1 Municipality Performance
The Ngaka Modiri Molema District IGR Forum was dysfunctional, and this has led to a myriad of
complaints from the local municipalities about the poor relations between themselves and the District. The
non-functionality of the District IGR Forum has weakened its regional planning capabilities, and the
coordination of the provision of water services in particular. There have been no service level agreements
between the District as water services authority and local municipalities and/or Botshelo Water as water
services provider (in terms of bulk water; distribution; operations and maintenance; provision of free basic
services).
The poor relations also relate to the perceived lack of involvement and consultation with local municipalities
on prioritisation, identification, and implementation of projects. Due to the non-functionality of the IGR
Forum, there was generally no coordination and collaboration between the District and its family of locals to
9
improve service delivery. Efforts were made on numerous occasions by the Department to resuscitate the
IGR Forum, but attendance by the District’s administrative leadership and local municipalities was poor.
NMMDM obtained adverse audit opinion in 2018/19 and disclaimer audit opinion for the past 2 years,
Ditsobotla obtained a disclaimer audit opinion for the past 3 years of 2016/17 to 2018/19. Ratlou LM
regressed to disclaimer in 2018/19 and had qualified audit opinion for the past 2 years, Tswaing has
remained at a qualified audit opinion for the past 3 years of 2016/17 to 2018/19. Mafikeng and Ramotshere
obtained a disclaimer audit opinion for the past 2 years and qualified audit opinion in 2016/17. The district
and its locals largely depend on consultants to compile the Annual Financial Statements.
A total of R415million was returned to treasury from the Municipalities allocated budgets. Of the total
budget returned NMMDM’s balance was R258 million, R48million for Mahikeng LM, Ratlou LM
R29million, Tswaing LM R20.5million Ditsobotla LM R32million and Ramotshere Moiloa LM R27million.
During the Financial year 2017/18, Tswaing LM, Mafikeng LM, Ditsobotla LM, Ramotshere Moiloa LM,
and NMMDM were insolvent whereas Ratlou LM had short- and medium-term viability. Currently the
District is under Section 137 of MFMA in terms of Financial Recovery Plan which was invoked by the MEC
in 2018.
All municipalities within the district with the exception of Ratlou adopted unfunded budgets which posed a
risk to meet financial obligations and had to be corrected during special adjustment budget.
As at 31 March 2020, Tswaing’s debtor’s book was R231million and 91% was owed over 90 days,
Mahikeng is R1.7billion and 92% is owed over 90days. Creditors for Tswaing was R157million and 88% is
owed over 90days, Mahikeng was R107 million and 87% is owed over 90 days. Ngaka Modiri-molema,
Ratlou, Ditsobotla and Ramotshere Moila did not disclose debtors and creditors information.
In terms of Section 41 report (Eskom) for 31 March 2020, Ditsobotla remain the municipality with the
highest debt within the Province and District at R595million and R547million is owed over 90 days.
Ditsobotla also contravened the court order by not paying the current accounts on the due date. The second
municipality with huge debt within the district is Tswaing with the total debt of R77million and R70million
is owed over 90 days, the municipality is honouring payment arrangements.
Repetitive findings for NMMDM include among others: Insufficient appropriate audit evidence or none
identified items for the year for PPE, VAT, Inventories, provision of retail water services and receivables
from exchange transactions, Unspent conditional grants, and revenue from non-exchange transactions,
general expenditure, contracted services, unauthorised and irregular expenditure and bulk services. The
District need to look into mechanisms that will fast track these repetitive Audit findings working towards
improving future audit outcomes.
4.2 Municipal Capacity
The capacity of each LM to deliver on its mandate is questionable. For example, the NMMDM has a
“bloated” staff and not many can fill the vacancies to be established at BTO. The moot point is that all Local
Municipalities including the district, largely depend on consultants to compile annual financial statements.
To that end, let it be put on record that institutional capacity across the board is wanting.
The challenge faced by the district and LMs is that they mostly depend on the equitable share, and as such,
revenue generation remains a challenge informed by the failure to collect for services rendered in the case of
local municipalities. As for the district, there is a serious drive to identify revenue generation projects and
initiatives. Once done, the remaining question would be the extent to which the revenue generated covers
the extra ordinary needs of the district before the implementation of the district-based model. We should
further ask if the model is implementable given the level of capacity and skill within the district.
The employment of Senior Managers, while important, does not respond to the issues in toto. While Senior
Managers could be appointed, what skill or experience would they have given the people expected to assist
them in their deliverables?
A cursive view of vacancies at district level is hereby presented for ease of reference, and all these vacancies
are critical:
The functions above are technical and to the core of service delivery. The staff complement referred to is
based in the district municipality and the functions are for a water authority.

4.3 Traditional Affairs Governance
The Khoi-San consists of five main groupings namely the Cape-Khoi, Griqua, Koranna, Nama and San.
Many of these main groupings have various subgroupings.
While legislation has over many decades made provision for the statutory recognition of traditional
communities and leaders, there has never before been provision for similar recognition of the Khoi-San
communities and leaders.
The Traditional and Khoi-San Leadership Act, 2019 (Act No. 3 of 2019), which was published in the
Government Gazette on 28 November 2019, is of historic value as it is the first legislation that provides for
the statutory recognition of the Khoi-San communities and leaders, provided they meet the criteria contained
in the Act. However, the Act has not yet commenced, because its commencement date has not yet been
proclaimed. Once the Act commences, a Commission on Khoi-San Matters will be established to receive
and investigate applications for recognition of Khoi-San communities and leaders. The Commission will
make recommendations to the Minister in this regard and the Minister will have the power to recognise such
communities and leaders. There is thus currently no legally recognised Khoi-San communities or leaders in
South Africa. The Act makes provision for two Khoi-San leadership positions namely senior Khoi-San
leaders and branch heads. The recognised senior Khoi-San leaders will have personal jurisdiction over their
communities.
In the case of traditional leaders, they are legally recognised at all levels (kingship, queenship, principal
traditional leadership, senior traditional leadership and headmen/headwomen). However, although the
existing Traditional Leadership and Governance Framework Act, 2003 (Act No. 41 of 2003) (Framework
Act), makes provision for the establishment of traditional leadership structures such as kingship or queenship
councils, principal traditional councils and traditional councils, the timeframes within which these structures
had to be legally constituted or reconstituted have lapsed. Until such time that the relevant traditional
leadership structures have been legally constituted or reconstituted, their legal status and standing will
remain uncertain and could be challenged. This may also impact negatively on the statutory duties and
responsibilities of such structures. Currently, there is no enabling legislation to legally reconstitute them. The
Traditional Leadership and Khoi-San Leadership Act will provide enabling legislation for their legal
constitution. However, the Act has not yet commenced due to the reasons alluded above and therefore the
enabling provisions in the Act cannot be used at this stage to reconstitute these structures.
In the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality traditional leaders have been identified for participation
in the Municipal Councils. The identified traditional leaders do participate in municipal councils. There is a
system of rotation of participating traditional leaders in the Ngaka Modiri District Municipality, and every
five (5) years new members are selected. The identified traditional leaders are allowed an opportunity to
address the council. Traditional leader’s participation is not gazetted. Participating traditional leaders receive
an allowance and are reimbursed for any out of pocket expenses.
The largely rural district is also made-up of 103 wards, 8 towns, 21 townships, 198 villages. In addition, the
district has 22 Traditional Leaders with about 90% of the district’s population living in traditional authority
areas. Traditional Leaders participate in municipalities and they receive out of pocket expenses and paid
allowances as follows:
District/Local Municipality Number Of Identified Traditional

Leaders Participation In Municipal

Tswaing Local 2
3
District/Local Municipality Number Of Identified Traditional
Leaders Participation In Municipal

Mahikeng Local 2
Ditsobotla Local 3
Ramotshere Moiloa Local 6
In the district there are no disputes in terms of ownership of land by Traditional Leaders. The table below
outlines the number of Senior Traditional Leaders, Headman/Headwomen:

TRADITIONAL HEADWOMEN

Ngaka Modiri Molema Ratlou 5 20
Tswaing 2 6
Mafikeng 4 9
Ditsobotla 3 0
Ramotshere 7 4
It should be noted that the legal existence of Traditional leadership structures as envisaged by the Traditional
Leadership Framework Act has expired. These structures will be reconstituted when the Traditional and
Khoi-San Leadership Act comes to effect.
5 PROJECTS TO DIVERSIFY AND GROW PEOPLE AND THE ECONOMY
5.1 Social Development Projects
The social development projects for the district are as follows:
(a) Employment and training of local labourers during implementation of projects and programs.
(b) Educational awareness campaigns on health and hygiene issues.
(c) Resolve conflicts in communities where disagreement arises.
(d) Partner with Social Development on poverty alleviation projects through the War Room structure.
(e) In economic development SMMEs were registered and trained in their business areas.
(f) Provision of kick start projects in various areas of our district.
(g) Key in all development by the district is to inject thorough understanding on allocation of sites in
rural areas. This goes along along with rural development planning.
(h) Through GIS facilitate career guidance on learners to streamline their learning in Geography to
ultimately have Geologists that will ultimately assist in mapping the district facilities.
5.2 Spatial Development
Mahikeng is the tactical economic hub of the district and it is anticipating growth as the primary fiscal core
through the Mahikeng Renewal, Rebranding and Repositioning. Spatial Planning is not a shared function
between Ngaka Modiri Molema District and its Local Municipalities; however the District’s Town Planning
unit plays an active critical role as and when requested at the five local municipalities.
The district is characterised by critical development corridor (N4 and N18) which are the getaway(s) to
Botswana and possess tourism infrastructure that is underutilized. Most of the secondary rural settlements
and high agricultural potential areas in the district have strong functional links with Mahikeng and can, to
some extent, be considered extensions of the district’s economic core link: Tshwane – Brits – Rustenburg –
Elliesrus. Further Bojanala District houses the Pilanesberg International Airport (ACSA) and one smaller
airfield in Rustenburg.

The Anticipated Structure of the Proposed District SDF
A structured framework will be formulated within which the compilation of this SDF will be
structured and approved in time for the first review of the District IDP in 2019-
2020. This framework has 3 substantive spatial themes i.e. Socio-economic, biosphere and built
environments, it is expected that the proposed SDF will address these 3 themes holistically. Beyond
the generic objectives of the SDF, the compilation process will address amongst others the following:
 ensuring that the new District SDF document complies with legal requirements and be conversant
with recent developments in the five constituent local municipalities and entire planning within the
region. Incorporation and alignment of all relevant information and proposals derived from proposed,
existing strategic documents such as the:
 National Development Plan (NDP)
 Medium – Term Strategic Framework 2019 - 2024
 Draft North West SDF
 District Rural Development Plans (DRDP) and Provincial Villages Township & Small
Dorpies (VTSD) policy.
 The following proposed plans: Groot Marico Biosphere, District Integrated Transport
Planning (ITP), Public Transport Plan (IPT) and Environmental Management Framework
 Ensuring horizontal integration between the neighbouring District SDF’s and vertical
integration with the local SDF.
 Ensuring public and governmental participation of the concerned stakeholdersin the planning
process, namely (inter alia) the communities of the constituent Municipalities, neighbouring
district municipalities to address the impact of cross-cutting issues on spatial development
concepts and their consequences thereof, provincial sector departments, parastatals and
business forums, interests groups & traditional leaders.
 Creating a strategic framework to facilitate the development of an appropriate land use system
through SPLUMA.
9
Expectations
Once complete, the anticipated District SDF has to achieve the following:
 Indicate the spatial implications of the IDP projects of the NMMDM. Put forward
development and management strategies, proposals and guidelines that will promote
sustainable development in NMMDM, including, without being limited to, development
objectives, environmental planning, transport planning, infrastructure planning, so as to
promote the general well-being of the people of the District in the most effective manner.
 an assessment of the agriculture potential of Ngaka Modiri Molema, substantiated with action
plans that are contained in the adopted District Rural Development Plan (DRDP), amongst
others, advocate for the strategic supported of the three components of Agri-Parks i.e. Farmer
Production Support Unit

The Baberspan Bird Sanctuary is another hidden jewel of the District as well as the
Province. The site attracts people from as far as Holland, but the facility lacks the
infrastructure that would attract bird lovers the world over.
5.5 Environmental forecast
Disaster Management structures are in place but not administratively supported in all areas.
Challenges common to the district and local municipalities include among others:
 Lack or poor implementation of the requirements of the Disaster Management Act
particularly with five municipalities except for Mafikeng LM;
 Lack of disaster response vehicles and control room attendants or dispatchers for 24/7
services;
 Lack of support for DM IGR structures and poor stakeholder participation in IGR
structures; and
 Insufficient resources for disaster risk management;
