FOREWORD
Local government is a key role player
in the development initiatives of
South Africa. The transformation
process to establish non-racial and
viable municipalities is a crucial
strategic move towards enabling local
government to fulfil its developmental
function.
Integrated Development Planning
(IDP) is one of the chief tools and
instruments with which the local
government sphere is equipped to
cope with its ‘new’ responsibility to bring about development. In contrast to the
role planning had played in the past, the IDP is seen as a fundamental part of an
integrated system of planning and delivery which is a primary function of
municipal management.
Our IDP has taken a very close look at how the municipality aims at creating an
environment conducive for attracting, promoting and encouraging local and
international investment thereby improving economic development and job
creation in the region.
We are confident that this is in line with other strategies such as the Provincial
Growth and Development Strategy (PGDS) and the Millennium Development
Goals of vision 2014.
Our municipality has embarked on a mission of ensuring that the HIV/AIDS
Strategy is in place through the IDP process to curb the epidemic. The
municipality is further in a process of ensuring that there is a Spatial
Development Framework and Local Economic Development Strategy which will
guide the development direction.
On behalf of Thaba Chweu Local Municipality I endorse this IDP and hereby
commit to ensure its implementation.
Councillor B.C. Ndlovu
Executive Mayor: Thaba Chweu Local Municipality

Thaba Chweu Local Municipality (TCLM) is endowed with many advantages, both in terms of the unique natural characteristics of the area, as well as its strong and capable leadership. The immense beauty of its countryside, its wealth
of fauna and flora, its high rainfall as well as gold, platinum and chrome mineral resources are strategic advantages that can be leveraged for the maximum benefit of the citizens of TCLM. It is against this background that the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of TCLM has been created. This document describes in detail the process in which it engaged and the methodologies employed to lead to a plan that speaks to legislative requirements for integration between the attributes, needs and aspirations of the local community with the broader objectives of the district, province and national strategic agenda
