The Municipal Systems Act states that each municipal council must, within a prescribed
period after the start of its elected term, adopt a single, inclusive and strategic plan for the
development of the municipality which (a) links, integrates and coordinates plans and takes
into account proposals for the development of the municipality; (b) aligns the resources and
capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan; and (c) forms the policy
framework and general basis on which annual budgets must be based.
In line with the Municipal Systems Act (MSA) and the Municipal Finance Management Act
(MFMA), the City of Tshwane has developed the draft five-year IDP for 2016/21 which is
supported by the 2016/17 Service Delivery Budget and Implementation Plan, the Mediumterm
Revenue and Expenditure Framework for the 2016–2019 financial years, as well as
departmental business plans that capture their core operations and enable institutional
performance monitoring. All the plans presented in this review are premised on the principles
and outcomes of Tshwane Vision 2055.
The diagram above demonstrates that Tshwane Vision 2055 is the compass document for
all City of Tshwane work. This plan has guided the review of the five-year Integrated
Development Plan.
