| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/10838 Decentralisation in South African local government : a critical evaluation Siddle, Andrew McCalman Koelble, Thomas Management Studies Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 231-245). The South African local government model is considered to be decentralised in character, incorporating various constitutional, policy and statutory instruments to enable local government to achieve its constitutionally mandated developmental objectives. Yet local government is widely viewed as being in a state of crisis. Many municipalities are seen as dysfunctional and incapable of performing their duties. The hypothesis underlying this study is that the effective application of the principles of decentralisation, to the extent that they have been incorporated in the constitutional, policy and regulatory framework of local government in South Africa, is endangered by a lack of commitment to the concept of decentralisation by central government and by the failure by municipalities to implement at local level those rules, systems, mechanisms, powers and functions which are intended to reflect the principles of decentralisation; and that the achievement of the constitutional objectives of local government is thereby in turn endangered. 2015-01-01T12:39:16Z 2015-01-01T12:39:16Z 2011 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10838 eng application/pdf GSB: Faculty Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
