In view of the failure of the bigwigs of the local DA to communicate efficiently with the people who voted them into office and who pay their salaries, those who populate the DA peanut gallery have little choice but to rely on the good old rumour mill to churn out snatches of news about the stuff our public representatives are getting up to on their behalf.
According to the grapevine, the DA caucus attended a workshop somewhat pompously designated as the Performance Development and Management System for Councillors. Would it be too much to hope that communication formed part of the deliberations?
Further sessions were dedicated to the Integrated Development Plan (IDP).
The Municipal Systems Act describes an IDP as follows: “An integrated development plan must align the resources and capacity of the municipality with the implementation of the plan. Integrated development plans form the policy framework and general basis on which annual municipal budgets must be based.”
It seems that the ensuing document will be made available for public comment by the end of March 2012.
