| dc.description.abstract | This paper seeks to explore the progress which has been made in controlling the exercise of public power by South African Municipalities. The tension between the concepts of administrative and operational efficiency and adequate checks and balances in respect of the exercise of delegated power are examined. It highlights the internal administrative appeal system that exists at local government level. The conclusion is reached that in respect of local government in South Africa. Many of the objectives of the Breakwater Declaration of 1993 have been realized. The courts however have not played a very constructive role in this respect with the result that urgent legislative intervention may be required. Only this will ensure that public power at the local government level is adequately regulated in the interest of transparency, accountability and democracy. | |
