In the latest episode of the Constitution@Work, Ismail Joosub, the Foundation’s Constitutional Advancement Programme Manager, continues his conversation with Cilliers Brink, member of the Democratic Alliance, on local government.

In part two of the podcast, they explore questions including:

– How severely does coalition instability affect the basics at council level?
– What are the day-to-day duties and responsibilities of a mayor?
– How can an executive mayor implement effective consequence management?
– Why do so many municipalities face skills shortages, and how can they be professionalised?
– How does a mayor know when to stop handing control over to private parties?
