In terms of the Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, all municipalities have to undertake an IDP process to produce IDPs.
During its five-year life cycle, the IDP is reviewed and updated annually.
The annual budget provides the Medium-Term Revenue and Expenditure Framework (MTREF), which sets out the financial path for the ensuing three years.
