The Local Economic Development (LED) strategy of the municipality is also outdated, and there is no integrated agricultural development plan in place. Because of this, SMME's and informal traders have no facilities to sell their products, thereby creating a problem for small scale farmers to sell goods to their own and surrounding communities. Without a proper LED strategy and proper municipal planning it is virtually impossible to integrate any municipal level project with government departments and other stakeholders. Because the municipality is in a rural area, it is difficult for the municipality to generate its own revenue, thus making it heavily dependant on grants for the development of the area.
