7.12 Administrator: Some of the governance related concerns reported by the Administrator included the ineffective Ward Committees and Community Development Workers (CDWs). It was also indicated that the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of Okhahlamba Local Municipality has been ranked as falling amongst the worst IDPs of all municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal Province. There are indications that the same IDP has been submitted twice without review, the only change being the year of submission. Similarly, the input of the Provincial Departments and other Agencies were evidently absent - a signal of poor participation of Departments in the IDP process.
