3. BACKGROUND The Limpopo Department of Sport,Arts and Culture (LDSAC) is reporting on the libraries planned for the 2010/11, 2011/12 No projects were planned for 2012/13 financial year due to the backlog experienced in the previous financial years All library infrastructure projects are implemented by the Limpopo Department of Public Works (LDPW) No service delivery agreement entered into with LDPW in 2010/11 and 2011/ 12 financial years Misalignment of LDSAC and LDPW Annual Performance Plans. The LDSAC projects were treated as ad hoc projects as they did not appear in the LDPW plans Libraries were not standardised which resulted in most of the libraries not costed accordingly, hence variation orders No projects implemented are under litigation

4. BACKGROUND In December 2011, a high level interdepartmental team comprising LDSAC, LDPW, Provincial Treasury and DAC was established to develop a turnaround strategy to improve the grant spending In January 2012, a detailed plan was developed and submitted to the first LDPW Administrator for implementation, however his office didn’t implement and no reasons were provided The plan was resubmitted to the second Administrator, in March 2012 In January 2013, the Director-General convened an infrastructure meeting wherein the LDPW Administrator, Mr Dondashe informed the meeting that the Department could not implement the projects due to capacity challenges faced in SCM. He further informed the meeting that service providers will be appointed before 31 March 2013 and the budget will be committed 4

20. CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS WHICH IMPACTED ON THESE OUTCOMES The Senior Manager for Library services, the Provincial Librarian and the infrastructure Manager did not possess the requisite skills and competencies to manage libraries The Department is highly reliant on the capacity of the LDPW to implement and monitor infrastructure projects The LDSAC SCM unit did not have capacity to procure other services required for libraries The infrastructure projects were not aligned to the IDPs of relevant municipalities as well as the relevant APPs and Strategic plans of LDPW and LDSAC Inability to mediate land disputes between the Municipalities and the traditional leadership The change in section 100 (1) (b) Administrators at LDPW

21. DEPARTMENT’s MONITORING CAPACITY The LDSAC relied on the National Department personnel to provide oversight on the infrastructure projects An inter-Departmental Team comprising Provincial Treasury, LPDW, DAC was established which met weekly Monthly inter-departmental forum on infrastructure projects convened by LDPW Quarterly progress meetings convened by DAC Weekly visits to libraries by LDSAC staff
