Evaluation Criteria

Measurable Indicators Description of Indicators

Availability of raw materials and resources

Raw material/local resources are regarded as the primary production factor. Without these materials, no product or service can be manufactured and/or delivered. The availability of raw materials and other resources makes local development promotion much easier, more feasible, viable and sustainable. Depending on the nature and extent of the resources/materials, these can also be a major tourist attraction. Apart from attracting tourists to an area, many of raw materials/resources can be used in local beneficiation and value adding processes.

Economic linkages This is the various interactive relationships that exist between the various economic sectors with a region’s economy. These interactions and relationships can be observed in various forms and may take place on an mixture of scales. Linkages are important for an economy and its activities to be sustainable. One economy in general can’t provide in all local needs and therefore need to interact with neighbouring or nearby economies. Linkages can be defined and placed into two categories:

Market trends This criterion is consumer related and the most difficult of all to map and determine. Market trends refer to the consumption trends and preferences of the general market. It indicates where there is potential for an increase in the production of a specific product and/or delivering of a specific service, or it can indicate that there is a need for change in products and service delivery. For instance, a new trend can be observed in South Africa with respect of people consuming more organically farmed products than traditional products. This therefore, indicates that the Agriculture sector should focus more on producing organic products than traditional products.

Gap analysis/ Agglomeration advantages

A gap is defined as being a disparity between what is provided and what is needed (or required). With regards to a gap in the economy it means that a mismatch of resources had occurred. The identification of a gap within the local economy can prove to be an advantage for various industries to group together to stimulate economic growth. Agglomeration advantages can be illustrated by developing a mining logistical hub or cluster. Therefore, all manufacturing orientated and related activities are grouped together in delivering services and information to the manufacturing sector.

Logistics / Nodal point function To determine if the area has potential for delivering a logistics or nodal point function, one needs to answer the following question: Can the area serve as a distribution point for specific products or services?

Regional service delivery function This criterion refers to the ability and capability to provide in both the local and regional requirements. This will typically be a situation where enough is produced in the economy as to disperse and provide for the wider region.


53 | P a g e

Availability of labour Following short on the heels of raw materials/local resources is labour. The labour force is vital to the production process due to the fact that they drive production. When considering potential within the local labour pool, the determining factors include the quantity and quality of the labour force. Quantity refers to the size of the labour force and quality refers to the educational and skills level of the labour force. If the education and skills level of the local labour force meets the requirements for manufacturing development, the potential for development is high, from a labour point of view.

Technology change This is the most dynamic of the entire set of criteria. Technology changes refer to the changes in the ways we produce goods and services. Good examples are genetic manipulated products, the Internet, etc. The changes in technological techniques and methods increase the potential for developing an incubator in the area. Incubators provide collective services (i.e. training and facilities) required by industries and also individual people to become self-sustained in their newly adopted economic activities.

Enabling policy environment Potential for development can also be identified when considering the policy environment. Various policies stimulate, support and encourage development, whereas others inhibit development. A good example of supporting policy is the SMME development programme of Khula Enterprises. They provide funding and other necessary inputs for upcoming SMMEs.

Infrastructure Infrastructure is a very important part of any economy. The availability of infrastructure such as roads, telecommunications, railways, water and airports can in itself create economic growth and development. The existence of these infrastructures improves linkages between the supplier and the market and also creates employment.

Criteria for Potential Identification Analysis

Availability of resources Land:

Moderate potential for agricultural activities on available land

Predominately rural with most developments occuring in more

urban areas

Water:

Many rural areas do not have full access to potable water services -

lack of access is a constraint for development of the sector

Human:

Large base of employment available

Potential for direct and indirect job opportunities

A larger portion of employees have low level skill levels - implying a

lack of specialised labour

Economic linkages Agro-tourism

Agriculture service industries, e.g. transport industry - transport of

inputs

Supply of agricultural sector inputs

Agriculture demand industries, e.g. manufacturing - agro-

processing

Export of raw produce to other areas (locally and provincially)

Market trends Specialised crop production

Cattle farming

SMME Farmers

Biofuels (from crops converted into liquid biomass)

Agglomeration advantages Biosphere - includes all living organisms on earth, together with dead

organic matter produced by them

Supporting industries

Logistics

Technological change The introduction of new or improved technologies and improved

management - to aid in achieving cost savings, while maintaining or

increasing yields.

Imports and Exports International demand for agricultural products

Policy environment Agricultural development plan

Infrastructure Rural agricultural infrastructure (cold storage)

GAP Analysis Lack of information regarding production techniques

The Mining sector includes the extracting beneficiating of minerals occurring naturally, including solids, liquids

and crude petroleum and gases. It also includes underground and surface mines, quarries and operations of oil

and gas wells and supplemental activities for dressing and beneficiating for ores and other crudes materials.

Availability of resources Resources:

Manganese

Iron Ore

The availability and supply of water in the municipality is a challenge

and this could have a negative impact on the progress of mines, if

not probably addressed

Human:

There is a general lack of skills within the Tsantsabane area and this

includes both technical and other skills required to create a balanced

society that is thriving both social and economically.


Economic linkages The labourers working in the mining sector require affordable

housing close to the mines where they are employed. Providing

these mining houses represents a local market for outputs of

agriculture, manufacturing, service industries and SMME’s. This

would include the provision of machinery, equipment, consumables,

construction services, maintenance and repair services, agricultural

produce, catering, cleaning and laundry services.

No beneficiation activities are taking place in the Tsantabane LM,

which provides an opportunity for processing facilities to establish in

the area.

Development of an FET college

It is crucial to update the fundamental plans for agriculture, transport, business and tourism to make sure that the latest and applicable data are available, as well as to determine the status quo of these sectors. This is also done to develop new incentives and prospects to streamline the effective development of an inclusive rural economy. Reviewing of these plans allow for the determination of the various interactions and overlapping Thrusts within them, so that these may be integrated in developing a cohesive development plan for the local municipality.
