3. BOARD CHAIRPERSON, CEO AND CFO Q2 REPORT REMARKS 3.1 CDA Board Chairperson’s Foreword The CDA Board is pleased to receive from the CDA management a positive development that would greatly enhance the CDA’s organisational reputation as an important entity of the Sarah Baartman District Municipality to advance the socio-economic development fo the District. These development includes: the CDAs upward progression on its audit outcomes from adverse audting finding in 2017/18 to qualified audit finding in 2018/19 financial years respectively; the 53% of savings in audit fees; the securing of R28 million rand from the DEDEAT Stimulus Fund and the actual transfer of the funds into the CDA account ion the 28 December 2019 is not a mean feat. the identification and settling of VAT historical debt of 2013 with SARS. The none resolution of this matter in the past years has hampered CDA ability to secure funding from funders as the tax clearance certificate is a mandatory requirement to secure funding. All of the above positive outcomes are a good foundation for the CDA to soar to greater heights. The CDA management should with speed address all the shortcomings as identified by the AGSA as a matter of urgency. We further note the CDA continued engagement with other relevant stakeholders. The CDA Board encourages such engagement as they as are necessary in building strategic relations that would be relevant for the CDA in further unlocking value for the district aligned to the CDA mandate. The CDA management is further encouraged to expedite the partnership agreement with those municipalities that have not yet signed. The CDA Board expect the CDA management to expedite the implementation of the bulk services project in the Blue Crane Route Municipality and the Board expect that project timelines will be shared in the next Board meeting. Mr Alroy Taai 8|Page
3.2 Chief Executive Officer’s Report The CDA underwent audit by AGSA for 2018/19 financial year, accounting for the period of 10 months that the CEO has been in charge of the organisation. To prepare for the successful audit, the CEO had to ensure that all the relevant information was available for the AG in order to form a factual opinion on the CDA state of affairs. The 2017/18 audit outcomes demonstrated the key critical gaps within the CDA, i.e. system and competency based competencies. Thus the 2018/19 audit outcomes would clearly demonstrate to which extent the CEO has been successful in implementing the corrective actions that progressed the CDA to a better level of audit finding than that of 2017/18. The 2018/19 audit opinion for the CDA of unqualified audit opinion on financials and LED information for reliability with qualified opinion arising from usefulness & consistence, showed a big improvement for the CDA. The AGSA audit general rule is that the worst audit opinion result is approved as the final audit opinion. The CEO and the management team have noted the AG recommendation on both the management and audit reports. Corrective actions have already been effected to ensure that the 2019/20 outcomes are improved. The finalisation document submission to the DEDEAT and the subsequent transfer of R28 000 000.00 into the CDA account by DEDEAT on 20 December 2019, gave rise to a new milestone for the CDA. This being the responsibility that the CDA is expected to carry out the implementation of the project within the stipulated time period and budget. A lot is at stakes for the CDA. Thus all CDA’s resources will be channelled to the successful implementation of the project. The midterm affords the CDA with the opportunity to undertake the budget adjustment, this task was led the finance officer and was completed for presentation to the Board. The budget adjustment is aligned to the CDA predetermined objectives whose outlook is to build a financially viable and sustainable company whose economic development impact is felt across all the district municipalities. The next two quarter are important to the CDA management team to ensure that it builds strong organisational fundamentals that the future generation will be product, thus giving meaning to the Eastern Cape Province Premier rallying cry on “Building the Eastern Cape we want”.

4. CDA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANDATE 4.1 Service Level Agreement between SBDM and CDA The CDA entered into a service level agreement with the Sarah Baartman District municipality to pursue the following objectives in pursuant of its mission. d) Catalyse economic growth investment in the district by: Improving the economic and investment climate in the region; Developing regional economic nodes and regenerating small towns; and Investment promotion and resource mobilization; e) Human capacity development Build technical skills base of the inhabitants, particularly the youth, of the district; and Support entrepreneurship development. f) District infrastructure development and asset management Developing catalytic infrastructure [roads, electricity, water, Industry Park, etc.] o Enhance intergovernmental relations Strengthen inter-governmental and inter-sectorial integration, strong stakeholder management and communication, Co-ordinating work of different municipalities and government agencies at regional level; 4.2 CDA Operational Model to Achieve SLA Mandate The CDA’s budget from its primary shareholder, the Sarah Baartman District Municipality (SBDM), covers the agency’s operations and seed funding to initiate some economic development projects. The expectation is that the CDA staff should deploy all their intellectual capital and expertise to attract investments from varied sources to invest in those industrial focus areas in which the District has both comparative and competitive advantage. It goes without saying that investors are looking for different incentive packages to ensure they get the returns on their investments. The attraction of investment is predicated on the CDA developing and following a simple business operational model. The table below depicts the CDA’s business operational model 12 | P a g e

Improve District will achieve return of GDP investment. 4.2.1 Centrality of Local Municipalities in supporting CDA mandate Since all infrastructure and economic development activities take place at a local municipal level, the local municipalities are an integral CDA partner. The ideal Government Integrated Economic Development strategy for local municipalities should be founded on National & Provincial Industrial Development Strategies which are further cascaded down to the District and find implementing expression at local municipality. The latter’s economic investment proposition being informed by its unique economic competitive advantage for investors. The current fiscus allocation does not adequately provide local municipality with enough funding to implement catalytic economic development as expressed in the 2008 White Paper of Local Government. To compensate for this skewed fiscus allocation, Government approved the Intergovernmental Regulations Framework Act (No. 13 of 2005) to enhance integration amongst spheres of Government. Notwithstanding the IGR, it has been a challenge to optimise collaboration between spheres of Government. The District Development Agency model is one of the District Municipality’s strategies on focusing on economic development by creating an agile entity that would foster and bring to bear integrative approach amongst Government role players. 13 | P a g e

6. CDA INDUSTRIAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENT LOGIC FRAMEWORK 6.1 KEY ACTION PROGRAMME: REVITALISATION OF AGRICULTURE AND AGRO PROCESSING VALUE CHAIN IN THE SBDM FOR NEW OR EXPANSION OF EXISITNG ENTERPRISES IN INCLUSIVE GROWTH PRINCIPLES Nature and purpose of the CDA intervention: The Gross Value Add (GVA) contribution of agriculture and agro-processing industries to the GDP of the Sarah Baartman District Municipality is estimated at 8%, 1 translating into R1.3 billion (2017) . The growth forecast for is estimated to be R1.6 billion by 2021. The sector’s total employment contribution (formal and informal) was estimated at 16%, which about 25 000 people employed. Like any other district in South Africa, the percentage of unemployment is high and there is high percentage of youth without matric qualification in the District. National Government has identified of agricultural and agro-processing sector as critical in economic recovery and job creation in the country. The growth of the sector will open opportunities for its transformation to increase participation of black people, particularly women and youth. Agriculture is the most labour intensive sector and used successfully in other countries of the world for job creation and poverty eradication. The Blue Crane Route and Dr Beyers Naude Local Municipalities contribute significantly in the global production of mohair fibre as well as wool fibre. The fertile lands of Koukamma Local Municipality in the west have enormous deciduous fruit orchards, whilst Ndlambe and Makana produce pineapples and chicory products. The Sundays River Municipality is the mecca of citrus products. Almost all of the District’s Local Municipalities contribute significantly to the Eastern Cape milk production. The District hosts the Addo Elephant Park and is home to greater numbers of game farms. The different biomes and historical sites of significance found in the District offer different tourism attractions. The economic and ownership transformation of the agriculture and agro-processing sector affords the District with a unique opportunity to addressing the vexing challenges facing the country, namely unemployment, inequality and poverty. The CDAs overall objective of the Agriculture & Agro-Processing Economic Development Program is to create sustainable jobs and capacitate the local community by identifying business development opportunities for creation of new OR expansion of existing agri-based industries (from concept phase development to full project proposals) and collaborating with partners (both public and private) to attract new investments in the District. Key objective: 2019/20 – 2021/22: Identification of a new OR expansion of existing agri-based industries that will attract new investment in the District and mobilisation of 1 16 | P a g e
strategic partnerships to unlock the commercial potential. Agri-based industries that the District has both comparative and competitive advantages includes: (meat processing and associated downstream value add opportunities; animal fibre industry development; horticulture industry development; new high value cash crops development; support expansion of existing commodity agri-products that the District is a leader in, etc.) Lead departments/ agencies : DRDAR; DRDLR; ECRDA; DEDEAT; ECDC; DAFF; DEA, Government Entities; Private Sector; others. 2 Supporting Departments/agencies : the dti, CDA ; SBDM; LMs; NT Private Sector Partners : Dependent on commodity association, interested private sector partner(s); investors; black farmers and social entrepreneurs. 6.2 KEY ACTION PROGRAMME : SARAH BAARTMAN DISTRICT TOURISM BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH Nature and purpose of the CDA intervention: Tourism can be defined as the non-commercial organisation plus operation of vacations and visits to a place of interest. Whether you visit a relative or friend, travel for business purposes, go on holiday or on medical and religious trips - these are all included in tourism. The main purpose for an overnight trip is grouped into these categories: Leisure / Holiday Business Visits to friends and relatives Other (Medical, Religious, etc.) In South Africa, tourism contributed R136,1 billion, about 2.9% of the total gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017. When tourism's indirect and induced benefits across a very broad value chain are factored in, the total contribution amounts to R412,5 billion, or 8.9% of the GDP. In Sarah Baartman District Municipality, the Other (Medical, Religious, etc), relative to the other tourism, recorded the highest average annual growth rate from 2006 (47 000) to 2016 (42 700) at -0.95%. Visits to friends and relatives recorded the highest number of visits in 2016 at 199 000, with an average annual growth rate of -2.14%. The 3 tourism type that recorded the lowest growth was Business tourism with an average annual growth rate of -2.35% from 2006 (29 400) to 2016 (23 200) . 2 Lead support entity involved as per OVIs in the Logic Framework for the Program. 17 | P a g e
Sarah Baartman District Municipality had a total tourism spending of R 2.52 billion in 2016 with an average annual growth rate of 4.1% since 2006 (R 1.69 billion). Eastern Cape Province had a total tourism spending of R 12 billion in 2016 and an average annual growth rate of 2.6% over the period. Total tourism spending in South Africa increased from R 127 billion in 2006 to R 267 billion in 2016 at an average annual rate of 7.7%. The District hosts the Addo Elephant Park and is home to greater numbers of game farms. The different biomes and historical sites of significance found in the District offer different tourism attractions. The economic and ownership transformation of the tourism sector affords the District with a unique opportunity to addressing the vexing challenges facing the country, namely unemployment, inequality and poverty. The CDAs overall objective of the Tourism Industry Development Program is to create sustainable jobs and capacitate the local community by identifying business development opportunities for creation of new OR expansion of existing tourism-based industries (from concept phase development to full project proposals) and collaborating with partners (both public and private) to attract new investments in the District. Key objective 2019/20 – 2021/22: Collaborate with strategic partners in the tourism sector to enhance current District’s tourism offerings as well as the creation of new ones attractive to the different market segment of both the domestic and international tourism market. The SBDM tourism offerings include, cultural; wildlife (national parks and private game reserves); adventure (trails; Jbay surfing; endurance sport; etc.); nature (biomes and plant biodiversity); historic sites; educational; spiritual; etc. Lead departments/ agencies : Dept of Tourism; DRDLR; DASRAC; DEDEAT; ECDC; DAFF; NEF; Government Entities; Private Sector; others. 4 Supporting Departments/agencies : CDA ; SBDM; LMs; NT Private Sector Partners : Local Tourism Office, interested private sector partner(s); investors; black tourist operators and social entrepreneurs. 3 ECSECC: Sarah Baartman District Municipality Socio-Economic Review and Outlook 2017 4 Lead support entity involved as per OVIs in the Logic Framework for the Program. 18 | P a g e
6.3 KEY ACTION PROGRAMME: SUPPORT THE REVITALISATION OF INDUSTRIALISATION INITIATIVES 5 OF THE SBDM AND ITS ASSOCIATE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES Nature and purpose of the CDA intervention: Manufacturing is the 4th largest industry in South Africa. Manufacturing is the country's fourth largest industry, contributing 14% to the gross domestic product (GDP). The food and beverages division is the most important player in the industry, contributing 25% to total manufacturing activity. In June 2019 the manufacturing industry in South Africa sold goods to the value of R203.7 billion compared to South Africa's total imports of R 103 754 352 076. Thus the manufacturing to total imports ratio is currently sitting at (1.97). So basically for every R1 in goods manufactured locally, 50.7c is imported. The manufacturing sector GVA contribution to the economy of the Sarah Baartman is estimated at R1.9 billion and created employment estimated at 16,500. The growth forecast for 2021 is estimated to reach R2.07 billion rand. The over dependence of the District’s economy on trade, finance and community services sectors, which account for combined 67% of the Districts’ GVA, demonstrate a major weakness in the SBDM broad economic sector. It is common cause that the greater percentage contributions by the manufacturing sector in any economy, the greater the growth indicators (employment, poverty reduction The economic and ownership transformation of the agriculture and agro-processing sector affords the District with a unique opportunity to addressing the vexing challenges facing the country, namely unemployment, inequality and poverty, standard of living, purchasing power, etc.). This is the desired state of economic activity that the country, province, district aspire to achieve. The manufacturing sector remains the most untransformed sector in South Africa. A marginal increase in the value addition of some of the District primary produce (citrus, animal fibre, livestock, etc.) would greatly improve chances of new industries and job opportunities. The CDAs overall objective of the Manufacturing / Industrial Economic Development Program is to create sustainable jobs and capacitate the local community by identifying business development opportunities for creation of new OR expansion of existing manufacturing industries (from concept phase development to full project proposals) and collaborating with partners (both public and private) to attract new investments in the District. Owing to fact that each local municipality has a unique value add commercial opportunity of a specific natural product(s) growing specifically in that locality, presence a strong value proposition for beneficiation. The Presidential Coordinating Committee recent bold announcement emphasizing the role the regional government should play in driving economic development is a welcomed initiative that would place CDA favourably. Furthermore, the 2008 White Paper explicitly states the role of local municipality in economic development. 5 Directly dependent on securing investors, Government incentives; on product market availability. 19 | P a g e
Key milestones: 6 7 2019/20 – 2021/22: Partnership facilitation and technical support for the development of the Industrial Cluster Precinct at the District’s Local Municipalities to stimulate the District’s manufacturing bases and the creation of new enterprises. Lead departments/ agencies : the dti; DEDEAT; ECDC; the dti; Government Entities; Private Sector; others. 8 Supporting Departments/agencies : DED, CDA ; SBDM; LMs; NT Private Sector Partners : Dependent on commodity association, interested private sector partner(s); investors; black industrialists and social entrepreneurs. 6.4 KEY ACTION PROGRAMME: SUPPORT THE RENEWBLE ENEARGY SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE DISITRICT AS LED BY DIFFERENT PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS Nature and purpose of the CDA intervention: The Department of Energy signed agreements with 27 independent power producers (IPPs), effectively unlocking R56 billion that will be invested in renewable energy projects across the country, predominantly in rural areas. The then Minister of Energy, Mr Jeff Radebe, outlined the importance of moving forward with renewable energy initiatives, arguing that lower electricity prices brought 9,10 about by clean energy will help indigent households cope with the rising cost of living . Government’s recommitment to renewable energy – is that it provides data on the extent to which municipalities provide off-grid energy sources to poorer households, including solar energy. Moreover, most municipalities provide qualifying indigent households with free basic electricity of 50kWh per household per month for grid energy system. This amount of electricity is considered enough to provide basic lighting, basic water heating using kettle, basic ironing and a small black and white TV and radio. According to SA Cities Network, the rapid increases in bulk tariffs charged by Eskom have resulted in sharp decreases in municipalities surpluses used to cross-subsidised other services. The sharp electricity tariffs have exposed the financial vulnerability of many municipalities with slim revenue base. 6 Local Municipality; Provincial & National Government + entities, Private sector, etc as per OVIs 7 Business Strategy Development (Concept note –to-project plans development) 8 Lead support entity involved as per OVIs in the Logic Framework for the Program. 9 BusinessTech, Government signs 27 independent renewable energy agreements 10 ENCA, Minister insists renewable energy will boost jobs, transformation 20 | P a g e
DEDEAT postulated that the renewable energy will provide the Eastern Cape business with a new growth opportunity in light of its potential to supply 60% of the province’s energy needs. In recent times the Eastern Cape has achieved 1 073 MW of wind and solar farms in the first three rounds of Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Programme (Reippp). The estimated investment value was well over R21.5-billion of which R7-billion was allocated to local content. The Sarah Baartman District, owing to its favourable climatic conditions for both wind and solar renewable energy sector development, is the leading District in the country in attracting government- private sector investment on wind energy farms development. The Blue Crane Route, Makana, Sundays River Valley, Kouga and Kou-kamma local municipalities are leading in wind energy farms development for the generation of wind power. Whilst, Blue Crane Route, Dr Beyers Naude, Sundays River Valley, Koukamma have a potential for solar energy generation development. The Great Fish River Water Canal that meanders through the Blue Crane Route and Sundays River Valley local municipalities, offer an opportunity to assess hydropower energy generation. The Cacadu District Development Agency specific objective on renewable energy generation potential in the District is to partner, facilitate and explore together with the relevant strategic public-private sector entities the development of the sector in the district. 11 Key objective : 12 2019/20 -2021/22: Partnership facilitation with government-private sector to explore green energy generation capability and to advance Distributed Generation within the Sarah Baartman District Municipality.

6.5 TRANSLATION OF KEY ACTION PROGRAMME INTO ANNUAL PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES FOR CDA The CDA industrial sector focus key action program is a framework that serves as a guide to the CDA on catalytic economic development project to pursue in which the District has both the comparative and competitive advantages to drive its industrial development trajectory. The translation of the key action program into the CDA annual predetermined objectives is determined by the following key considerations: project seed fund that the CDA receives from the Sarah Baartman District Municipality; those project(s) in which the CDA has been successful in securing external funding for their implementation; and projects implemented by other entities (government and private sector) other than the CDA in which the role of the Agency is deemed as important for successful implementation of the project. In the past, the AGSA audit outcomes of CDA local economic development, was deemed as ambiguous and not conforming to SMART14 principle, particularly for those CDA project with no capital budget but which the CDA has identified as strategic to pursue. Section 6 herein below typically show those projects in which the CDA has absolute control for their implementation and thus give full account to AGSA of their implementation and outcomes. The CDA will continue to use the Key Action Program guide to seek investments in the identified industrial sectors and will only translate into annual predetermined objectives when certainty on secured investment has been made. This is the continued primary objective of the CDA. 14 Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Realistic and Time bound. 22 | P a g e
