1. Document Introduction
1.1Purpose
The purpose of this document is to streamline the processes involved in transfer of ownership and proposal of the implementation of an Archiving & Workflow System.
Five different business processes were identified involved with the transfer of ownership. These processes are:
Creation of new erf;
Consolidations/Sub-divisions;
Consolidations/Sub-divisions (10 meter portions only)
Existing erf; and
Creating farms/boundary extensions
Transfer of ownerships.
1.2Business Ownership
It is in the interest of both staff members and the City of Windhoek that the information and procedures described in this document are as up-to-date as possible, thus enabling all staff members to perform their tasks correctly, with the minimum delay. For this to be possible it is important that ALL PARTIES, who can make a contribution, are proactive.
Material contained in this document is of a specialized nature and therefore Business Ownership is vested with the SE: Housing, Property Management & Human Settlement, SE: Urban & Transport Planning and SE: Finance & Customer Services who will control the accuracy and relevancy of the contents.
Method for the advising of possible changes to this document:
Write a note and forward by means of an e-mail to the Executive: Strategy & Performance Management, explaining the error or change that you feel should be made.
Attach the respective pages of the document and where possible, indicate on the attachment what and where the change/s is required.
2. Process Description
2.1Description of the process
Transfer of property or ownership is when the ownership of a property is moved from one person to another. This happens when a property is sold or when the owner of the property dies and leaves the property to another person. Ownership is a right that cannot be seen, but the evidence of ownership can be found in a deed of transfer (“deed”) and it must be registered at the deeds office for it to be valid. The City of Windhoek (CoW) will then tax the owner of a property based on the municipal value of the property.

2.3 Process Owner and Role players
Process Owner: A process owner is a person who is given the responsibility and authority for managing a specific process. Such a person is responsible for the implementation, maintenance, performance, and improvement of the process and its interaction with other processes. A process owner may not truly “own” the process in that some of the people who are involved in carrying out the process may not report to them. Instead, the owner is responsible for the design of the process, in other words, how it is carried out, how it interacts with other processes and how it is monitored and measured. Process owners are usually responsible for most steps in the process and are able to influence other key areas outside their direct organizational control.
Three differed Departments and seven divisions are end-to-end responsible for the transfer of ownership and process ownership is difficult to identify, but as the bulk of the divisions involved with the process are within the Department of Housing, Property Management & Human Settlement, the Strategic Executive of that department should ideally be the Process Owner.
Manager: Valuations: Is responsible to calculate and capture values, calculate and inserting endowment figures on the E-Planner System.
Manager: Urban Planning: Is responsible to create a new erf on the E-Planner System by capturing the Township Board resolutions and approved diagrams.
Manager: Geomatics: Is responsible for the diagrams and updating of the Enlighten System.
Accountant: Rates & Sewerage, Refuse OSSC: Is responsible for the creation of a new erf (stand) and account on the E-Venus System and to transfer the account from the old owner to the new owner.
Legal Services: Is responsible to draft the deed of sale.
Manager: Property Management: Is responsible for the administrative process of transferring the ownership from one owner to another such as the structure of the deed of sale, signing of documentation and the handing over to a conveyancer to do the registration process.
Manager: Sustainable Development: Create codes, new locality, township application and locality extension on E-Planner and also to capture the sub-division application on the existing farm/portion.
2.4 Service Level Agreement regarding time lines
To determine the turnaround time for the transfer of ownership it will be necessary to do a proper time study, especially at the financial part of the process. This will be a very lengthy project and will be contra productive at this point of time. With the implementation of an Archiving & Workflow System, service level agreements will be determine between the different disciplines.

** Diagrams and Township Board Resolutions are not submitted timeously. In many cases the owners neglect to submit it. The proposed Archiving & Workflow system must make provision that the process can only continue after all the necessary documents are received/scanned in. There are many portions that has been subdivided, but not recorded as such on the E-Planner System although Geomatics already recorded it on the Enlighten system. Geomatics access or not needs to be further investigated in the systems analysis phase.

Minimum Criteria
Input from Geomatics to Sustainable Development
Geomatics scan the diagrams into the Archiving & Workflow System and forward it to Sustainable Development
Input from Sustainable Development to Valuations (New erf process)
Sustainable Development verifies if it is an existing or new farm.
If an existing farm, the sub-division application is captured on the E-Planner System.
If it is a new farm, the following the following entries are done on the E-Planner System:
Create Township codes;
Create locality and assign the code created;
Create township application;
Create locality extension, example Extension 1 or Extension 2;
Delete the application and the farm should appear in the list of suburbs;
Capture the sub-division application on existing farm/portion.
The new farm/portion with the correct size is then captured on E-Venus. This process is thus the same as the one for creation of a new erf.
Input from Sustainable Development to Finance
Finance will be notified through the Archiving & Workflow System to create an stand for the new farm/portion.

STEP
ACTION
ACTION EXPLANATION
1
SE: Urban & Transport Planning
SE: Housing, Property Management & Human Settlement
SE: Finance & Customer Services Sign-off
The SE’s will sign-off the Process Disposition when the particular SE is satisfied that the proposed To-Be model will add value to the process.
NOTE: The SE: Urban & Transport Planning already signed-off the disposition document on 6 September 2020.
2
SE: ICT Sign-off
The SE: ICT will sign-off the Process Disposition if the proposed automation can be implemented. The document will be used for planning and budgeting purposes to enact the necessary system changes and or development. Planning in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) can be defined as “obtain approval for project, Initiate, Assess feasibility, plan and schedule”. The purpose of planning is thus to find out the scope of the problem and determine solutions. Resources, costs, time, benefits and other items should be considered.
3
System Analysis/User Requirements
The Manager Business Systems is responsible for the SDLC. In this second phase of the SDLC the functional requirements of the project or solution is considered. This is where the system analysis takes place – or analyzing the needs of the end users to ensure the new/change system can meet their expectations.
4
System Design
This phase describes, in detail, the necessary specifications, features and operations that will satisfy the functional requirements of the proposed system which will be in place.
5
System Development
The development phase signifies the start of production and it is characterized by instillation and change.
6
Integration & Testing
This phase of the SDLC involves systems integration and system testing in order to determine if the proposed design meets the initial set of business goals.
7
Implementation
This phase is when the majority of the code for the program is written, and when the project is put into production by moving the data and components form the old system and placing them in the new system.
8
Operations & Maintenance
The last phase is when end users can fine-tune the system, if they wish, to boost performance, add new capabilities or meet additional user requirements.
