Abstract

The review submissions show that respondents appeared to be more interested in local government than in national or provincial matters. This is not surprising taking into account the direct relationship between communities and their municipalities, and the immense challenges to deliver on national priorities, challenges that are primarily about local issues such as housing, water, electricity, local health and infrastructure. This interest is confirmed by the attention such issues receive in the media.
