1. The Committee Delegation expressed the opinion that the While Paper on Local Government identified performance management as one of local government's tools for the implementation of its developmental mandate in terms of the Constitution. Chapter 6 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act (Act No. 32 of 2000) provides the legal framework for performance management and linked it squarely with the IDP. The Committee Delegation further expressed that the drafting of the Municipal IDP should provide appropriate mechanisms; processes and procedures; for consultation with and participation of local communities, organs of state, traditional authorities and other stakeholders.
