A.) Definition: In terms of Council’s Indigent Policy, Indigents are defined as those people who, due to a number of reasons, are unable to make monetary contribution towards basic services, no matter how small the amounts seem to be. Any household, earning less than R3500.00 qualifies to be registered as

  • indigents. Examples are pensioners, the unemployed, child headed families

and students. Midvaal Municipality will align the income level of indigent households with the predetermined income category as determined by the department of Human Settlements for ownership of RDP properties. Currently this amount is R3500.00 per household. A household is defined as all adults and children living on a single property.

slide-45
SLIDE 45

Required documents for inclusion in Indigents Register: The following documentation should be submitted in order to register as an indigent:  Proof of gross income: Not to exceed R3500 per household per month.  Ownership status/proof of residence: The applicant must be the registered

  • wner of the property or proof of account liability in case a child headed

household where the property is registered in the name of the deceased parent(s)  Copy of valid identity  Pension certificate or card in case of a pensioner  Municipal account  Duly completed application form

PART TWO DEPARTMENTAL SPECIFIC IDP PRIORITISATION FOR FUTURE YEAR BUDGETS (2016/2017 AND 2017/2018) B – CORPORATE SERVICES AND HR

slide-47
SLIDE 47

Recruitment of Indigents:  HR receives a request from the user department for General Worker or Seasonal Workers or specific projects i.e. painting  The approved Indigent Register is used to contact candidates.  The Indigent Register is updated regularly.  Community Services provides the updated Indigent Register (non-property

  • wners) to HR.

 Both registers/lists are used to contact indigents  The duties or functions and remuneration offered are explained to the worker.  If the person confirms acceptance of the work, the paperwork is done and the person is taken to the user department.

slide-48
SLIDE 48

Challenges experienced when recruiting Indigents:  Lack of proper information including contact details, skills base and qualifications, including driver’s licences  Gender disparity – Men are reluctant to perform temporary jobs due to the amount of remuneration offered. Some jobs are more suited to males (eg bushcutting)  Age is a barrier as many property owner Indigents are at pensionable age.  Lack of information on illness, disability and/or general health  Persons accepted work opportunities (temporary and/or permanent) but do not arrive on the commencement date  Excessive phone calls required to contact candidates (do not answer/return calls,etc).
