1.1 Part A: Contextualisation of my draft Local Agenda 21
Let’s describe the governance structure of Pretoria in the context of Local Agenda 21,
which is a sustainable development action plan:
Pretoria is the focus of the draft Local Agenda 21, which is a local-level action plan
aimed at promoting sustainable development. The governance structure of Pretoria,
within the framework of Local Agenda 21, involves the following tiers of local
government:
1. Municipal Council: At the core of Local Agenda 21 implementation in Pretoria is
, the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality Council. This council plays a pivotal role
in shaping and implementing policies and initiatives related to sustainable
development within the city. They are responsible for aligning the local
government's actions with the goals and principles of Local Agenda 21.
2. Sub-Councils: To facilitate grassroots participation and localized decision-
making in the context of Local Agenda 21, the Tshwane Metropolitan
Municipality divides Pretoria into various sub-councils or wards. Each sub-
council has its own councilor who works closely with local communities to
identify sustainability challenges and opportunities and develop tailored
solutions.
3. Provincial and National Coordination: The Gauteng Provincial Government and
national government also play important roles in supporting Pretoria's efforts
under Local Agenda 21. They provide guidance, resources, and coordination to
ensure that the city's sustainability initiatives align with broader provincial and
national sustainable development objectives.
4. Community Engagement: A fundamental aspect of Local Agenda 21 is
community engagement. In Pretoria, various stakeholders, including community
groups, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and residents, actively
