The FW de Klerk Foundation’s submission regarding the Local Government: Municipal Structures Amendment Bill, 2024.
Ismail Joosub takes a look at why South Africa’s coalition governments have been unstable. It also looks at the legislative efforts aimed at formalising these agreements and the necessity of detailed coalition agreements to secure coherent policy implementation.
Daniela Ellerbeck and Ismail Joosub discuss South Africa’s form of local government (municipalities) and how municipal councils are elected and composed, with consideration of the Constitution, the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998, as well as coalitions’ track record of service delivery in certain areas.
