4 4 NTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND Eastern Cape is the second largest Province in the RSA in terms of surface area, covering 168 966km² of land, is ranked third in RSA in terms of population which stands at 7 497 981. It is vast, rural, has farming and mountainous areas, administrative areas, traditional authorities. Has amalgamated former homelands Transkei and Ciskei with Republic of South Africa and this meant high number of citizens with IDs from the homelands, thus increased demand for Citizen Registration The capital of the Province is Bhisho and most of the economic activity happens in the Buffalo City Metro and Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, where the two IDZs, East London and Coega are and where the multinational motor companies Daimler Chrysler in East London, VWSA, GMSA and Ford in the Nelson Mandela Metro are operating, thus a huge demand for permitting in the areas. Due to its history and the rich heritage of its people, a large number of tourists are visiting the Province leading to our permitting and passport sections being very busy. The tourism sector has the biggest growing potential both in terms of expanding the existing economic base as well as employment The majority of the people speak isiXhosa, followed by Afrikaans, English and Sesotho. The Karoo interior is an important sheep-farming area and the challenge is that the Industry exploits Lesotho citizens for cheap sheep shearing. The Inspectorate component is closely monitoring this and the Corporate permits provided. Angora wool is also produced here. The road infrastructure in the province is not too good and this leads to high rate of repairs to the mobile trucks that are overwhelmed by the gravel roads they have to travel on in order to bring services closer to the people

5 5 NTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND Although great strides have been in the delivery of services during the National Population Registration Campaign between March- November 2010, there are still significant backlogs that need to be addressed in providing enabling documents to the citizens. The launching of stakeholders forum on the District and Local Municipalities have greatly improved the way of delivering services especially at rural areas. Monitoring & Evaluation of the departmental performance relating to DHA is at the centre of Service Delivery Improvement Plan.

6 6 MINISTER PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT IN TERMS OF NATIONAL OUTCOMES The 12 National outcomes are at the heart of the strategic planning process of the Government and DHA is accounting for three as per the signed Minister`s performance agreement. The departmental relevant outcomes are: NATIONAL OUTCOME 3 All People in South Africa are free and feel safe NATIONAL OUTCOME 5 Skilled and capable workforce to support an inclusive growth path. NATIONAL OUTCOME 12 An efficient, effective and development orientated public service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship

7 7 DEPARTMENTAL STRATEGIC ORIENTED GOALS (OUTCOMES) STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTED GOAL 1 Secure South African citizenship and identity engineered by the Civic Services Unit STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTED GOAL 2 Immigration managed effectively and securely in the national interest including economic, social and cultural development engineered by the Immigration Unit STRATEGIC OUTCOME ORIENTED GOAL 3 A service that is efficient, accessible and corruption free to be realised by all the departmental Units.

24 24 STATUS OF STAKEHOLDR FORUMS The Eastern Cape has launched 45 Stakeholder Forums: 2 Metropolitan Municipality Forums, 6 District Municipality Forums and 37 Local Municipality Forums.  All forums have been launched except the Provincial Forum  From the 45 existing forum as at end June 2012, eight (8) – Cacadu & Chris Hani District and the following Local Municipalities: Ngqushwa, Ntabankulu, Blue Crane, Baviaans, Ikhwezi and Mbhashe, need to be revived  Preliminary meetings for revival already held: Mbhashe on 7 th May 2012 in Elliotdale while for Ikhwezi the meeting was held in Jansenville on 4 th June 2012.

25 25 Stakeholder Mapping – Critical Stakeholders The following have been identified as the critical stakeholders:  Local Government – Ward Councillors  Traditional Affairs – Traditional Leaders  Religious Fraternity – Ministers of Religion  Department of Health  Department of Education  Department of Social Development

26 26 Initiative 1 – DHA / EC Traditional Affairs Partnership This initiative was launched on 27 th March 2012: To facilitate and create a framework for co-operation To date 5 Joint meetings have been held and the Pilot Project Plan is being refined The proposed Pilot launch date is August 2012 Pilot Duration – 4 months Pilot target – Traditional Councils and their communities Key Benefit: Access to approximately 1 400 traditional leaders Improved credibility of data and verification by Traditional Leaders

27 27 Initiative 2 – DHA / Social Development – Profiling of Households Primary focus of initiative is in cooperated in the profiling of households: Department of Social Development (SocDev) will avail their Community Development Practitioners and their Assistants to assist in the project A generic profiling tool is already in place and DHA requirements can easily be integrated SocDev is also willing to grant DHA access to the NISIS system in order to draw reports for analysis Key benefits: Already existing IT infrastructure (NISIS), cost saving Tool will ensure that resources are focused where they are indeed needed Covering a wider area in a shorter space of time due to more resources

28 28 Initiative 3 – Office of the Premier – Central Data Warehouse All key data for the Province to be stored in one location:  System must be easily accessible to all departments and relevant stakeholders  Departments must ensure that the supply of information is accurate and up to date  The system will have spatial capabilities  A task team from Gauteng and Free State will come to present the solution on the 19 July 2012 in East London Key Benefit:  Accessibility of data and improvement in decision making ability

29 29 Initiative 4 – Eastern Cape Provincial Stakeholder Forum There are still challenges with getting the political commitment from the Province  All 6 District Municipalities and 2 Metros be convened via their executives – DHA Forums  A framework for the launch of the Provincial Forum be formulated  A date for the election and launch of the Provincial Forum  Resourcing of the Provincial Forum  Use the Provincial Executive: DHA Forum to lobby the Provincial Executive  Preferable – if the Provincial Forum is slightly politically biased / heavy (more politicians due to the point above)  Key Benefit – better coordination and management of Stakeholder Programmes

30 30 Challenges  Lack of cooperation from the critical stakeholders: Health  Education, Local Government – local municipalities  The Local Government Public Participation Forum to be located at the office of the speaker within local municipalities

31 31 Way Forward:  Approaches to the following heads of the critical stakeholders:  Education – via MEC for Education in the Province (initiated just follow up required)  Chief Ecumenical Officer – South African Council of Churches EC (Provincial Coordinator to facilitate)  Health – Contact has been established with Maureen Botha and relationship to be leveraged so that we can at the end speak to the key principals  Formulation of a strategy to counter the Local Government PPF and its potential impact on the forum
