- Description: This research investigates the challenges faced by Ntabankulu Local Municipality as a result of municipal demarcation. The post-demarcation process in South Africa has often been overlooked by the government, leading to negative repercussions in local municipalities, particularly in service provision due to boundary redrawing. However, these boundary changes also present significant opportunities for local development, especially as they aim to dismantle the apartheid legacy of racial oppression and unequal service provision. The study employs a qualitative research approach, which was deemed appropriate for achieving the research objectives. The sample size consisted of 25 participants, including 5 community leaders, 5 municipal authorities from Ntabankulu, 5 general community members, 5 traditional leaders, and 5 representatives from civil society organisations. A simple sampling method was used to select participants, and open-ended interview questions were administered. Based on the findings, this study recommends that Ntabankulu conduct thorough and timely consultations with all stakeholders and foster the development of communication links between affected communities following the demarcation process. , Degree: M. Public Administration
