Bold: New narrative or figures proposed
Strikethrough: Changed or deleted narrative proposed
Motivation for proposed amendments to the Contextual analysis
Contextual analysis
The main methodology that was used in the IDP review was to undertake a contextual scan
and a performance assessment to identify any new significant events or trends that may
have a notable influence on the strategic narrative, implementation plan, Corporate
Scorecard or any of the annexures of the IDP.
The overall purpose of reviewing the contextual analysis was to establish if the strategic
narrative remains relevant, effective and sufficient within the specific contextual
circumstances of the City.
The main changes in the contextual analysis includes:
General annual statistical updates;
The current impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on a global, national and local level
that has influence the financial, social, economic and health of the City’s citizens
significantly;
Climate change mitigation work that includes general updates as well as preparation
for carbon neutrality, exploring and piloting the transition of City’s fleet to move
towards electrical vehicles whilst developing an enabling framework to prepare for
the uptake and regulation of a city-wide transition to electric vehicles;
Updates on reducing climate change impacts;
Updates on the Climate Change Policy that was reviewed and converted into a
Climate Change Strategy.

context:
At the time of review, across the globe,
COVID-19 is threatening cities and
communities, endangering not only public
health, but also the economy and the
fabric of society. The recent global
pandemic has further highlighted
inefficiencies that need to be addressed
towards building a more resilient city
development environment.

heading, Global context:
With the World Health Organization’s
declaration of the global COVID-19
pandemic in January 2020 and
subsequent lockdown measures
implemented in countries across the world,
global growth forecasts have deteriorated.
The Coronavirus outbreak has brought the
world and South Africa to a halt in many
ways as best defence against the spread
of COVID-19.
It is important that the City’s strategic
priorities in relation to its resource base
reflect the new realities brought about by
recent shock events. The City’s recovery
programme takes a phased approach

N/a Add three new paragraphs below last
paragraph ending with “city governance”.
Cape Town is currently responding to a
pandemic which is likely to persist over the
next year at least, with the social and
economic consequences reverberating for
many years to come. The recovery will be
underpinned by how rapidly government
and other actors can mobilise the
resources necessary to expedite socio-
economic recovery.
The COVID-19 crisis will have long-term
impacts on the City’s operations and
programmes, its’ income sources for
service delivery and on the general socio-
economic welfare of its residents and
ratepayers.
New demands on City resources are
emerging. The City’s functions and
resource allocation need to shift in
response to COVID-19. Response to the
socio-economic fall out of COVID- 19 may
intensify existing shocks and stresses
facing the city, or give rise to new ones.

As climate change intensifies, the city is
becoming increasingly vulnerable to
weather-related shock events, in particular
increased heat and decreased rainfall. A
city-wide greening strategy has the
potential to contribute to the achievement
of several longer term climate change
mitigation outcomes through carbon
sequestration and improved liveability of
the city. The City has made major strides in
advancing a renewable energy strategy
as part of its climate change mitigation
actions, including among others the
promotion of solar and wind generated
energy in the City and region.

Over the past 5 years Cape Town recorded
an average annual economic growth rate
of 1,2% (constant 2010 prices) whilst the
national economy recorded 0,8% over the
same period.
Add a new paragraph after: “…support

reskilling workers at risk of unemployment”.
The coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has
presented an opportunity to use electronic
communication more optimally and
effectively. The increased incidence of
people working from home is made more
possible and efficient with advancements
in technology and increased internet
connectivity and accessibility. One of the
takeaways from Coronavirus is that the
role of internet connectivity and data
analytics – especially for public health
data and tracking disease has increased
significantly, and greater efforts at digital
enhancements in cities, including Cape
Town, are expected.
Cape Town’s strict unemployment Cape Town’s strict unemployment rate in 22

Add two new paragraphs after: “...major 22-24
challenges still exist such as the low wages
of these jobs, limited job security and weak
career prospects”.
All of the economic impact scenarios show
that Cape Town’s economy will
experience a large contraction in 2020.
The scale of this contraction and the
consequent job losses will be the largest
seen since the advent of democracy.
Jobs at risk will raise the strict
unemployment rate to between 26,7% and
29,1%. The decline in business turnover
and household income, will reduce the tax
revenue collected from businesses and
households in Cape Town. Household
incomes will decline by between 8,0% and
11.8% and are likely to impact lower
income households relatively harder. This
will inevitably lead to an increase in the
incidence of poverty within the city.
The current pandemic is likely to persist
over the next year at least, with the social
and economic consequences
reverberating for many years to come. The
City needs to plan for a drawn out
economic recovery, with the expectation
that resident and business demands (for
more free basic services, for payment
relief and business support) will be higher
than pre-COVID, while revenue will remain

estimated 15.3% of households earned
below the upper bound poverty line (i.e.
less than R1183 a month per household
member), the majority of which are
women-headed.
In the Cape Town COVID-19 recovery
context, the City will need to operate
under austerity conditions which will
require careful consideration. The lower
revenue base in the 2020/21 financial year
with further slow growth projections in
future years, the expected lower transfers
from National Government and reducing
investment interest and funds to invest are
the main drivers of the projection. The
City’s budget will need to be balanced in
line with the reduced financial resource
base.
As part of managing its resources, the City
is operating as efficiently as possible and
pursues cost-efficiencies. The current
vulnerability landscape of the city will be a
key informant in assessing how to go about
allocating public resources under severe
constraints. In addition, throughout the
recovery programme, the assumptions
and parameters underpinning City services
will be interrogated in terms of what extent
they reflect and respond to the different
needs and vulnerabilities across the city.

Motivation for proposed amendment: Transport Development Index
The City has adopted a Transformational Priority and Objective of Dense and Transit Oriented
Urban Growth and Development. The Transport Development Index was linked to the
Transport for Cape Town strategy of measuring and decreasing the cost of User Access Priority.
This concept of User Access Priority is NOT a Transformational Priority of the City. It is therefore
recommended that this text be removed from the IDP. In addition, this TDI will therefore not be
recalculated to show a trend as it is NOT a City transformational priority.
22 | P a g eCity of Cape Town - 2021/22 Budget (May 2021)
Annexure 20 - Proposed amendments to the 2017-2022 approved IDP
The then Directorate, Transport and Urban Development Authority (TDA), expanded the
Transport Development Index into an Urban Development Index that is more suitable to
measure the impact of Dense and Transit Oriented Urban Growth and Development.
Subsequently, TDA was also disestablished. It is recommended that since the City now has
separate functional Directorates for Transport, Planning and Human Settlements, the current
Urban Development Index should be revisited and presented for inclusion, (possibly in an
amended version) in the new IDP related to the new upcoming term of office.
Further, the IDP does contain a Watchlist of Trends / Indicators related to National Key
Performance Indicators to align with Circular 88 (IDP page 57). The Transport NKPI’s are
highlighted below in red text. It is recommended that these indicators be used for monitoring
the key City interventions over time.

(TDI) has shown that 95% of the Cape
Town public transport user group is in the
low- to low-medium income groups. The
average direct transport cost for the low-
income public transport user group is 45%
of monthly household income, against
the internationally accepted norm of
between 5 and 10%.29 That is, the low-
income segment of the public transport
user group spends on average more than
four times the acceptable international
average of their household income on
access.
Motivation for proposed amendment: Trend Watchlist
In terms of National Treasury (Municipal Finance Management Act) MFMA Circular 88, that
relates to Municipal Circular on Rationalisation Planning and Reporting Requirements for the
2018/19 MTREF:
- Outcome sector indicators should be included in the Integrated Development Plan (IDP)
on a phased in implementation approach. All national indicators are included as
National Treasury will provide the relevant reliable audit evidence for all metro
municipalities.
National Treasury issued an addendum in December 2020 and revised some of the outcome
sector indicators. These updates are critical as it impacts the measurement and auditability of
the indicators and requires the trend watch list to be updated with the amendments.
Amendments relates to indicator name and/or definition amendments and some indicators

Motivation for proposed amendment: Events Project
Cape Town has earned a reputation as Africa’s premier events destination by successfully
hosting events of various sizes and types, including community events and signature global
events, throughout the year.
This has resulted in Cape Town being named Africa's Leading Festival and Event Destination
for 2017, 2018 and 2019 as well as the World’s Leading Festival and Event Destination in 2018
at the World Travel Awards. This recognition has resulted in more international event
organisers choosing Cape Town as a host destination thus contributing more to the economy
and job creation in the events industry and related sectors.
The IDP therefore needs to expand on the importance of events and what it aims to achieve
as well as how the City will work towards maintaining and improving on this achievement.
