SPECIAL PRESIDENTIAL PACKAGE FOR DISTRESSED MINING COMMUNITIES IMC INTERVENTIONS IN MINING TOWNS & OTHER PLANS TO ERADICATE INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS PROGRESS REPORT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS DIRECTOR- GENERAL: T. ZULU 10 March 2015 Confidential
PRESENTATION OUTLINE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND INTER MINISTERIAL COMMITTEE – MANDATE INTER MINISTERIAL COMMITTEE – DEPARTMENTS SCOPE OF WORK PROGRESS TO DATE FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS Confidential
INTRODUCTION Mining towns are characterised by wide-scale informal settlements Informal settlements are often located on tribal or privately owned land Miners do not qualify for government’s housing subsidy programmes Many mining companies have reached agreements with unions to pay a living out allowance – largely not used for decent housing and has led to many miners living in terrible conditions in backyards/informal settlements High levels of indebtedness exist amongst miners
INTRODUCTION Informal Settlement Upgrading projects are typically multi-year projects There is a need to accommodate a diverse range of residents in the mining towns requiring a diverse range of housing options/solutions (upgrading of informal settlements, hostel upgrade, private rental/ownership, social housing, partially and fully subsidised housing) Overall objective of the intervention = “Transformation of mining towns through creation of sustainable human settlements”
BACKGROUND SOCIAL ACCORD: In October 2012 the President led the signing of a Social Accord (not confined to the mining industry) with Government, Business and Labour referred to as the Special Presidential Package (SPP) which made a number of commitments : Part 1:Restoring confidence in labour market institutions, addressing income inequalities and building social cohesion Part 2: Action to combat violence and lawlessness Part 3: Addressing socio-economic challenges FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT: In July 2013 the DP facilitated development of the Framework Agreement for a Sustainable Mining Industry, as mandated by the President. The Stakeholders are: Government Labour (NUM, AMCU, UASA and Solidarity, supported by their Federations: COSATU, NACTU and FEDUSA) Business Chamber of Mines (CoM) and South African Mining Development Association (SAMDA)]
BACKGROUND An action plan was developed and consists of the following 5 objectives : Ensuring the rule of law, peace and stability (SAPS; Justice & Corrections supported by Dept. SS) Strengthening labour relations (DoL supported by DMR) Improving living and working conditions of mineworkers (DoL supported DHS, DOH, SocDev, DED, COGTA) Providing short to medium term measures to support growth and stability (DMR) Identifying long-term measures to support growth and stability (DMR supported by DTI, NT) As per the June 2014 SONA, the Framework Agreement is now led by the President
IMC: Revitalization of Distressed Mining Communities In late 2012, an Inter Ministerial Committee for the Revitalisation of Distressed Mining Communities was established to address Part 3 of the Social Accord (SPP): Addressing socio-economic challenges in mining districts and their labour sending areas. The IMC has focused on: Integrated and sustainable human settlements, led by the DHS and supported by its agencies, e.g. NHFC, HDA Improved socio-economic conditions, led by DCoG, Dept. of Traditional Affairs, DRDLR and supported by DTI, EDD, Treasury, DBSA, SALGA, IDC, MISA Improved working conditions of mine workers led by DoL Decent living conditions for mine workers and meaningful contribution to the development trajectory of mining towns and labour sending areas, led by DMR
