Enhancing disaster response in KwaZulu-Natal through community partnerships
The rehabilitation of Shembe Road in KwaDukuza Municipality ward 13 following flooding in KwaZulu -Natal. This was one of the projects undertaken from disaster management grants Image: Disaster management report The KwaZulu-Natal government does not have sufficient resources to manage disasters in the province, so they have engaged in many Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with various social partners to assist. These partnerships promote an inclusive, well-coordinated, and responsive disaster management system within the province, remarked Dr Joey Krishnan, the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) acting HOD. Krishnan was speaking on Friday, at a presentation to the KZN Legislature Cogta portfolio committee on the disaster management report. She said the social partners assist Cogta with various types of support, relief material, food, blankets, as well as specialised training, and they come to the front when there are disasters. She said the collaboration was aimed at enhancing disaster management operations across the province. The presentation to the committee highlighted grants transferred to the various municipalities, post-disaster grants, and progress on the grant expenditure and implementation. In response to ongoing fiscal constraints, Cogta has been instructed by the Provincial Treasury to implement cost-cutting measures. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ As a result, several Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC), projects have been deferred to the 2026/2027 and 2027/2028 financial years. Krishnan said that despite these constraints, a R2 million allocation has been made for the 2025/2026 financial year to support the maintenance of integrated communication systems. She said that the cooperation agreements signed on 20 February significantly strengthened the KZN PDMC's capacity across all phases of disaster management. The national DMC transferred grants to municipalities to repair damaged infrastructure due to disaster-related incidents. These include the disaster response grant, which is implemented within six months, and the disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation grant, implemented within 12 months. The total funding received by KZN municipalities between 2019 and 2025 was R4.1 billion. 'The PDMC also collects a comprehensive portfolio of evidence during project implementation, including business/implementation plans, GPS coordinates, photographs, reports, receipts, and close-out reports,' Krishnan said. According to the report, the main challenges identified were compliance-related and implementation related issues. Compliance-related issues include the non-submission of monthly reports, the submission of reports that fail to meet compliance requirements, and the failure to provide supporting documents, such as proof of payments. One of the recurring impediments to effective project implementation is the presence of internal challenges in addressing Supply Chain Management (SCM) issues. Bonginkosi Mngadi, MPL Umkhonto Wesizwe Party (MKP) suggested that the portfolio committee receive a close-out report for the monies that are allocated to the municipalities meant to assist society. 'There is a tendency that when the money gets allocated for a disaster and the project does not get finished, only to find that the money is gone. It will be vital if we start managing the issue of close-out reports so that we get value for money,' he said. Marlaine Nair, Cogta portfolio committee chairperson said that the department of Cogta must find an additional budget to be able to do much more in the province in terms of preparation for disaster preparedness and prevention. 'We have suggested collaboration with the private sector. After all, it is in the interest of everyone, especially businesses, that as a province we have the best possible plan and system in place when a disaster strikes. We are also concerned about disaster grant spending in the various municipalities and have called for close-out reports on the various projects. We must ensure that grants spent on rebuilding are used to build better,' she said.

Hope for change: Msunduzi ratepayers welcome Simon Mndebele's leadership
Msunduzi Municipality Manager, Simon Mndebele and Mzimkhulu Thebolla, Mayor of Msunduzi. Image: Msunduzi Municipality Msunduzi Municipality ratepayer associations are looking forward to a fresh and effective approach from new municipal manager Simon Mndebele to turn the city's fortunes around. Mndebele, who was appointed as the manager on Friday, was described by Mzimkhulu Thebolla, Msunduzi's mayor, as pivotal to reposition Msunduzi as a municipality that is responsive, financially stable, and people-centred. Mndebele previously served as a technical support expert for Msunduzi Municipality, deployed by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA). Mndebele also served as municipal manager at Govan Mbeki Local Municipality and director in its Corporate Services department at Chief Albert Luthuli Municipality. 'In this capacity, he led the development of the municipality's turnaround strategy, conducted diagnostic analyses, and helped establish critical performance oversight structures. His in-depth knowledge of Msunduzi's operational landscape provides a solid foundation for decisive leadership from day one,' Thebolla said. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ He added that with his leadership, Msunduzi aims to fast-track infrastructure development, improve basic services, strengthen financial controls, and restore institutional stability. Thebolla called upon all stakeholders to rally behind Mndebele and support his mission to lead a clean, capable, and service-driven administration. Jimmy Naidoo, chairperson of the Northern Areas Residents and Ratepayers Association (NARRA), stated that over the years, they have not had a municipal manager who has completed their term or addressed the core challenges that ratepayers face—particularly those related to billing systems, policy implementation, and credit control. 'We are hopeful that the newly appointed manager will take decisive and aggressive steps to fix the ongoing issues in the billing cycle. It is also crucial that accountability is enforced and that there are clear consequences for non-performance across all departments. We look forward to seeing whether he will bring a fresh and effective approach—one that finally delivers where others have fallen short,' Naidoo said. Msunduzi Association of Residents, Ratepayers and Civics (MARRC) CEO Anthony Waldhausen is concerned that the Govan Mbeki municipality was issued with a disclaimer notice for three financial periods from 2017/2018, 2018/2019, and 2019/2020 by the Auditor General. Waldhausen stated that Msunduzi had a revolving door where municipal managers have not served their full terms of office. 'Did the selection committee for the municipal manager conduct a thorough due diligence report to ensure that no other red flags were missed? Since 2010, we have had over five municipal managers, some left with a cloud over their heads from supposed suspension, and then to have the suspension overturned or withdrawn,' Waldhausen said. Waldhausen called for a professional, effective, and competent municipal workforce that can provide service delivery and development to the citizens of Pietermaritzburg, but it must be free from any form of political interference and internal factionalism. The MARRC stated that they would work with Mndebele to turn the fortunes of Pietermaritzburg around for the better. 'We call on the mayor and council to allow the municipal manager to do his job without fear and favour,' said Waldhausen. Waldhausen said that MARRC submitted a discussion document on the White Paper on Local Government, calling for an overhaul of local government. 'One of the suggestions is to make the selection and appointment of the municipal manager and senior management positions to be done in the public space, and to have the selection and appointment of the municipal manager and senior management positions conducted in the public space,' he said.

Why South African taxpayers should double-check their auto-assessments
Tax With millions of South Africans auto-assessed by Sars in 2024, financial experts warn of potential errors that could cost taxpayers. Discover how to ensure your auto-assessment is accurate and avoid costly mistakes. Image: Freepik Millions of South Africans were auto-assessed by the South African Revenue Service (Sars) in 2024, a move designed to simplify the tax season. But with convenience comes risk. Financial experts warn that auto-assessments, which rely solely on third-party data, can contain critical errors that might cost taxpayers dearly if left unchecked. According to Procompare, an online platform that connects South Africans with local professionals, Sars auto-assessed around 3.5 million individuals in 2024, nearly half of the country's tax base. The process draws on pre-submitted data from employers, banks, medical aids, and retirement fund administrators to estimate a taxpayer's return, but the estimation isn't always spot on, it says. Procompare says errors may include omitted income, overlooked deductions, or incorrectly reported figures. "An auto-assessment can be convenient if your tax affairs are simple, but don't assume it's 100% correct," says Adriana Taljaard of AT Accounting & Taxation Solutions, an accountant affiliated with Procompare.

Next Stay Close ✕ Tax experts list several common pitfalls with Sars auto-assessments: Incomplete or missing third-party data : If employers or financial institutions delay or fail to submit information, key income or deductions won't reflect in the auto-assessment. Incorrect reporting : Errors from banks, medical schemes, or other entities can result in Sars populating incorrect figures. Exclusions of non-standard deductions : Expenses such as home office costs, travel allowances, charitable donations, and unreimbursed medical expenses are not included unless captured by third parties. Undeclared personal income streams : Rental earnings, freelance work, or side businesses not reported to Sa rs wo n't feat ure in auto-calculations, potentially leading to under-reporti ng. Taljaard says Sars itself cautions that there 'might be some income sources and certainly expenses... of which Sars may not be aware', reinforcing the need for taxpayers to validate their data. "For the additional income, a P&L must be compiled in order to submit the profits or losses that the additional source of income," advises Rushaan Toefy, owner of Rushaan Toefy Financial Services in Cape Town. "As for the travel allowance, a complete logbook detailing must be provided in order for Sars to account for the extra tax savings." Procompare says if you suspect your auto-assessment may be flawed, prompt action is essential. Here's how to respond: Log into Sars eFiling and verify data : review the third-party certificates used and compare them with your own (IRP5s, IT3(b), medical tax certificates). Correct errors at source : contact banks or employers to amend inaccuracies and resubmit official data to Sars . File a complete ITR12 return : add missing income and deductions, ensuring your final return reflects the full scope of your tax situation. Submit before the deadline : most individuals must file by around 20 October. Failure to act means Sars' assessment becomes legally binding. Retain supporting documentation : keep evidence of any additions or changes for at least five years in case of an audit. Confirm your updated assessment : Sars will issue an ITA34 with your revised outcome. Review it thoroughly to ensure accuracy.
