Living without water: the experiences of Mokgolobotho villagers in Greater Tzaneen Municipality in Limpopo ProvinceMalele, Ramadumetja Harriet Maureen 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M.Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2018 / The purpose of this study was to determine the challenges that hinder the
Greater Tzaneen Municipality from rendering water service delivery to
Mokgolobotho villagers and the villagers’ perceptions of their livelihoods without
adequate municipal water supply.
The study employed both quantitative and qualitative research. Two groups of
respondents participated in the study. The data was gathered from 100
respondents from Mokgolobotho village, and of the 100 respondents, 90 were
residents from 30 households, 1 chief, 3 indunas, 1 ward councillor,3 ward
committee members and 2 NGOs. The respondents from the community
(households) were randomly sampled and a questionnaire was administered to
them ,while those who participated in the interview were purposefully sampled.
The scarcity of water at Mokgolobotho village has a negative impact on a number
of aspects; the economic development of the village, the academic performance
of learners, health of the community members is also at risk as they share water
with animals (Mopani Herald, 2014:3) and it also increases the death rate caused
by car accidents as villagers cross the R36 Lydenburg main road to get water at
the Dan Extension 2 (Reconstruction and Development Programme Settlement).
The Department of Water Affairs is very aware of the anomalies in water
distribution, where people reside adjacent to water sources and yet have no
access to a source of safe and reliable drinking water.
Section 27 of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution states that everyone has the
right to have access to sufficient water, and the state must take reasonable
legislative and other measures to achieve the progressive realization of this right.
The Greater Tzaneen Municipality has failed to implement this section of the Bill
of Rights at Mokgolobotho Village. The study recommends that the fulfilment of
the constitutional mandate by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality and the active
involvement of all the stakeholders will solve the water service delivery problem
in Mokgolobotho Village.

The implementation of the Local Economic Development Strategy by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality in LimpopoMalele, Lebogang Ernest January 2018 (has links)
Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / The aim of this study is to investigate and assess the effectiveness of Greater
Tzaneen Municipality in implementing LED strategies in rural communities.
Although the concept of Local Economic Development has been studied and
widely debated in South Africa, the present study intends to determine the extent
to which the implementation of LED strategy by Greater Tzaneen Municipality
contributes towards improving the livelihood of communities for sustainable local
economic development. In other words, the study purports to develop a more
holistic understanding of the dynamics of local economic development efforts.
This is a mixed method study in which elements of qualitative and quantitative
approaches to collect, analyze, validate and interpret data were used.
Quantitative design was used to profile respondents and do some statistical
analysis of the population. The quantitative design used was in the form of a
semi-structured survey questionnaire to acquire statistical data. Since the study
is heterogeneous, stratified random sampling was used for the quantitative
design whereby ward councillors, ward committees, project leaders and
community stakeholders (n= 60) participated. For the qualitative aspect of the
study face-to-face interviews schedule was used in order to construct the reality
from the interviewees‟ world and to gain more in-depth dynamics and
complexities by virtue of being the more natural form of interaction with
respondents. Key municipal officials directly involved in LED and those who have
more knowledge and information concerning LED implementation were identified
by means of purposive sampling technique (n=10).
The findings revealed that even though Greater Tzaneen Municipality on average
is on the implementation side, there are some factors that hinder it from
achieving the 100% LED strategy implementation. Even though policies are in
place, it appears like LED strategies have produced very few success stories for
various reasons country wide which among others includes lack of capacity
within municipalities, financial constraints and poor and incorrect implementation.
The other challenge is that communities regard LED as employment creation by
municipalities and should not be viewed only as creating economic benefits, but
as playing a vital role in poverty alleviation and therefore should have a strong
social focus. As per the constitutional mandate Section 152 (1), (2) and Section 153 LED
should be an integral part in the planning activities of municipalities across
departments and not be afterthought. The process should clearly reflect
participation by all wards and their respective communities, local economic
growth, poverty alleviation and job creation as well as prioritizing human
development initiatives.

Implications of land reform on spatial planning and development in the Tzaneen Local Municipality / I. HenningHenning, Ineke January 2010 (has links)
A thorough investigation of legislation involved in the land reform programme was conducted.
This includes the Constitution of South Africa, as well as the legal frameworks that manage the
land reform process. Many of the unintended results are because of misunderstandings. This
study sought to clarify those misunderstandings and confusing language.
The South African land reform process was excellently planned. The process is managed in
three phases, namely land restitution, land redistribution and land tenure. There are some
successes and failures due to the way those programmes were implemented.
In order to implement and manage the land reform programmes and spatial planning on
national, provincial and district level, the following plans were introduced:
National Level: Pro-active Land Acquisition Strategy (PLAS) & Area-based Planning
Provincial Level: Limpopo Growth and Development Strategy (LGDS)
District Level: Mopani Integrated Development Plan
Local Level: Greater Tzaneen Municipality Integrated Development Plan & Spatial
Development Framework
The study area, the Tzaneen Local Municipality, was chosen because it is home to some of the
first land reform projects in South Africa, it is the district with some of the highest intensity of
land claims and it offers a complete menu of land reform programmes in an advanced state on
a small area.
The impact that land reform has had on the spatial development in the Tzaneen Local
Municipality has been studied in more detail. As the study progressed, it was realised that the
impact not only stops at spatial development. The influence was much bigger than that. The
local economy was affected, as were job opportunities, tourism, food security, the retail industry
and even the mining industry. Such an impact is also not restricted to the Tzaneen Local
Municipality.
In order to control the land reform process, the government should involve the private sector in
the land reform process. The moment this happens, the skills and experience locked in the
private sector are transferred to the government for the benefit of all people involved in and
influenced by the land reform process. An Integrated Land Reform Action Forum (ILRAF) must be established that manages the land
reform process on national, provincial and local level. This ILRAF has to fulfil much the same
purpose as the former Joint Monitoring Committees (JMCs) accomplished.
The ILRAF must consist of all role-players within the land reform process. These include,
national, provincial and local government officials, commercial farmers, key role-players from
the private sector, farm worker representatives, Agri-SA, professionals such as town and
regional planners and transfer attorneys, farmers? associations, commercial banks and the
media to ensure transparency.
In order to correct past mistakes and to ensure that the next five years of the land reform
process goes off without a hitch, it is important to involve all role-players and ensure
transparency throughout all decision-making processes.

Factors Influencing the morale of employees at the greater Tzaneen municipalityMatsaung, R.G. (Raesibe Granny) January 2014 (has links)
The purpose of the study was mainly to explore factors influencing the morale of employees at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality (GTM). Morale is the psychological state of a person as expressed in self-confidence, enthusiasm, and/or loyalty to a cause or organisation and it flows from people's conviction about the righteousness or worth of their actions and the hopes of considerable rewards (material or otherwise) in the future. The study was conducted at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, Tzaneen Area in Limpopo. The investigation consisted of a literature review about morale in order to gain an understanding to answer the research question which is: What are factors influencing morale of employees at the GTM?
The sample of the study comprised 103 employees at the GTM including, directors, managers, supervisors and first line level employees. The samples were drawn from the population of the GTM using stratified random sampling and the required number of respondents was further selected proportionally from each stratum using random sampling. Quantitative research was performed utilising a questionnaire as a data collection tool. A theoretical background on morale, Employee Assistance Programme and working conditions of employees was provided through a literature study.
The empirical findings were gathered based on the information received from the respondents. The findings of the study were based on 97% of the questionnaires received and/or returned by the respondents. The findings were presented and analysed using tables, graphs, pie charts and also interpreted in words. The majority of the respondents who participated in the study, revealed that the expectation of receiving a desired reward contributes to high morale, with expected monetary rewards having a larger influence than non-monetary rewards, but praise for a job well done and a feeling of accomplishment were also indicated to contribute positively to employee morale.
The results also revealed that there is a significant correlation between positive attitudes toward work and morale, and a positive correlation between performance management, commitment, leadership, employees’ salaries, compensation, training and development with employee morale. The demographic characteristics were shown not to have a discernable influence on workplace morale. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations and conclusions were made regarding strategies to be implemented by both management and employees to deal with morale in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. / Dissertation (MSW)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / lmchunu2014 / Social Work and Criminology / unrestricted

Land utilisation by small and emerging commercial farmers in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality in Mopani District of Limpopo ProvinceTshilowa, Phathutshedzo Fancy 20 May 2016 (has links)
Land is a major factor in agricultural production, so agricultural land allocated to smallholder farmers through Land Reform Program or by traditional leader need to be actively utilised for enhancement of agricultural business. The study assessed land utilisation by small and emerging farmers in the Greater Tzaneen Municipality. Data was collected from 86 farms and analysed using SPSS Version 23. The results indicate that 74% of the farmers fully utilised their farm lands. Results of Logit model revealed that, the amount received from leasing, value adding to products, annual farm income and savings had positive significant impact on the area of cultivation, while skills pertaining to farming activities and the proportion of farm inputs purchased with the farmer’s own money had negative impact. The significant variables should be considered to influence full farmland utilisation by small and emerging farmers in the study area; farmers need production inputs, affordable loans and other forms of funding to improve farmland utilisation / Agriculture, Animal Health and Human Ecology / M.
