Port Elizabeth is located on the south eastern coast of Africa. It is a major tourist destination better known as the Friendly City. Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and Dispatch were incorporated into the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality in 2001.

The Department has contributed poverty alleviation projects from both programme Developmental Social Welfare Servicers and Community Development to these areas.

  • The metro has a population in excess of 1.6 million people.
  • The Nelson Mandela region is the largest contributor to the Eastern Cape economy and its GGP contributes to 41.3% to the Eastern Cape
  • There are two Urban Renewal Programmes in the metro. It’s Motherwell Urban Renewal Programme (MURP) which incorporates Wells Estate and Helenvale Urban Renewal Programme (HURP).

The district is striving to have skilled and committed personnel able to ensure effective and efficient service delivery. On this note the District will focus on motivating personnel during the Social Development month. The focus will be on committing to Batho Pele: Change Management Engagement Programme. This programme seeks to address organisational cultural issues in the Public Service. According to DPSA this programme “is therefore a culture change process to foster appropriate behaviours and attitudes among public servants to reinforce the ethos of Batho Pele. The slogan is “together beating the drums of service delivery”. It simply means working together in teams to ensure that outputs are maximised, duplication is avoided, flaws and weaknesses are identified and addressed before they escalate.”
