- Description
- This research investigated the application of section 139 of the Constitution of Republic of Republic of South Africa, 1996. Koukamma, Sundays River Valley and Mnquma Local Municipalities are the case studies for this research as provincial interventions to these municipalities will be analysed. The study was conducted within the legal and legislative framework of local government which clearly defines how municipalities should be governed. Furthermore, it explains the procedural and substantive requirements for intervention should a municipality fail to deliver on its constitutional mandate as stipulated in Section 152 of the Constitution. A descriptive approach was used in the study, with data collection coming from primary and secondary sources such as textbooks, minutes of meetings of the Eastern Cape Department of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, National Council of Provinces and reports by administrators appointed by Member of the Executive Council (MEC) responsible for local government in the respective province. Several recommendations were provided in the final chapter. Should these be implemented properly, it could result in effective local government, and thereby reduce or eliminate the need for the application of section 139 of the Constitution.
