Questions. Answers
,Question 1
In order to realign local government with the Constitution, a number of new
local government law principles were created. “Non-racial democratic
government” is an example of a new local government law principle. Name and
briefly describe another five new local government law principles. [10]
• Local government within a system of cooperative government√ - Local
government forms part of the general government system.√
• New boundaries for municipalities√ - The whole of South Africa must be
divided into municipal jurisdictions. Municipal boundaries have a direct
impact on the effectiveness of municipal institutions.
√
• Constitutional supremacy √ - The Constitution is the supreme law and the
constitutional provisions bind local government. The municipalities (local
government) are closely linked to the people of South Africa and must
therefore ensure, on a first-hand basis that the values of the Constitution
are given effect to. √
, • New functions of municipal government √ - The modern internal
procedures and functioning of local government are complex since the
municipal administration must operate efficiently under political leadership.
√
• Municipal service delivery: striving for sustainability √ - The municipalities
must strive to deliver municipal services in a sustainable manner. This is a
key objective since all South African citizens are dependent on these
services, although some households’ basic needs must be provided by
local government. Service delivery must be affordable, accessible and
simple in its aims. √
• Municipal financial/fiscal management √- The accurate and effective
financial management of municipalities is essential for local government
functions. √
• Municipal development planning and public participation√- Aspects of local
planning have been decentralised to municipal government. Government
accountability and public participation in municipal decision-making are
constitutional principles that must be given effect to.√
• New municipal autonomy √ - Local governments are interdependent,
autonomous spheres of government.√
• Objects of local government √ - to ensure sustainable provision of services;
to promote social and economic development; to promote a safe and
healthy environment; to encourage public involvement in municipal affairs.
√
• Municipal boundaries √ clear boundaries – Municipal demarcation board√
