LEPHALALE DEVELOPMENT

• The IDP for the Lephalale Municipality
  (Lephalale) was put in place for the first time
  in 2002.
• The revision process which started in January
  2003 and the final draft is currently available.
• Inputs to these IDPs were mostly focused on the
  social needs of the community little large
  strategic focus were included.
• All stakeholders decided to initiate a process
  for the development of a strategic plan for
  Lephalale 20 year focus.
• This plan should provide the economic backbone to
  underpin the current IDP and to ensure large LED
  projects materialise.

Lephalale. These can be summarised as providing a
sustainable growth environment for the benefit of
upliftment of the people and by being a flagship
of development within Limpopo.

Certain strategic issues were identified that
hampers the achievement of these ideals. These
were the ineffective utilization of resources
within the municipal area, exacerbated by
inadequate economic infrastructure and the lack
of structured forums to address these issues on a
continuous and pervasive basis.

The group considered the ideal situation, i.e.
defining the perfect municipal area (key
success factors). This can be summarised as
capacity building on a planned basis, the
strategic positioning of the municipal area as an
attractive investment area (strategic marketing),
and collaborative governance (pro-active support
from all stakeholders to achieve these ideals.

Lephalale has a good primary resources base with
strong leadership, is respected in Limpopo, but
should exploit these resources more optimally
within a framework of pro-active market
development with structured contributions from
all interested parties.
