Mangokwana, Andries Mphoto O'Brien, Connie Rural development Community development Citizen participation Social Work Administration Makgotla Bibliography: leaves 136-141. This is an exploratory study using a qualitative approach. This study attempts to explore the nature of makgotla found in the rural community of Ramokgopa. It examines the structure and operation, nature of services rendered, successes, areas of concern as well as the role of makgotla played in community development. The primary objective was to assess the viability of makgotla as a vehicle for development in rural communities. Data was collected via in-depth interviews, and using a community-forum approach. Eleven headmen/key members and five consumers of services were selected for interviewing. Two community meetings were also held for the same purpose. The study found that makgotla have taken initiatives and efforts to develop their own community. This is in spite of the fact that there are areas of concern like gender sensitivity that need to be addressed. The study concludes with some recommendations, one of them being that local government officials be made aware of the presence of makgotla and how best to engage in a dialogue which will reap benefits for the community. 2015-10-25T16:56:10Z 2015-10-25T16:56:10Z 1996 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/14278 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
