Background: Municipalities’ non-performance in terms of service delivery is often considered to be a significant concern that affects the community. Municipalities constitute the most important sphere of government as they operate at grassroot level and are mandated to provide essential services to communities. A lack of governance, poor financial management reporting, poor supply chain and asset management processes are some impediments that affect the service delivery.Aim: This study aimed to identify performance enhancing measures that non-performing municipalities in South Africa could apply.Setting: The article focused on all 44 district municipalities and identified the best performing ones from the period 2017 to 2020 financial years before examining measures that assisted well-performing municipalities.Method: A sequential exploratory research design was used in the study. The municipal performance measures were identified from the literature, confirmed, and validated through the content analysis of performing municipalities’ annual reports. The performance of these municipalities was based on the audit outcomes from the Auditor General South Africa (AGSA).Results: Forty-two measures were recommended to enhance non-performing municipalities’ performance.Conclusion: The overall view of all district municipalities and the identification of measures to focus on may assist municipalities in reflecting and implementing the suggested measures.Contribution: Most of the available literature focuses on metropolitan municipalities and tends to focus on corporate governance. This study examined change drivers in district municipalities and focuses on governance, financial management, supply chain management, and asset management. Areas for improvement were flagged and improvement measurements were put in place to enhance performance.
背景:市政当局在提供服务方面的不作为通常被认为是影响社区的一个重大问题。市政当局是最重要的政府部门,因为它们在基层运作,并受权为社区提供基本服务。缺乏治理、财务管理报告不完善、供应链和资产管理流程不健全是影响服务提供的一些障碍。目的:本研究旨在确定南非表现不佳的市政当局可以采用的绩效提升措施:文章重点关注了所有 44 个县级市,并确定了 2017 至 2020 财年期间表现最佳的市镇,然后研究了有助于表现良好的市镇的措施:研究采用了顺序探索性研究设计。通过对表现优异的市镇年度报告进行内容分析,从文献中确定了市镇绩效衡量标准,并对其进行了确认和验证。这些市政当局的绩效以南非审计长(AGSA)的审计结果为依据:结果:建议采取 42 项措施来提高表现不佳的市政当局的绩效:结论:对所有地区市政当局的总体看法以及确定重点措施可能有助于市政当局反思和实施所建议的措施:现有文献大多关注大都市,并倾向于关注企业治理。本研究探讨了地区市政当局的变革驱动因素,重点关注治理、财务管理、供应链管理和资产管理。研究指出了需要改进的领域,并制定了改进措施以提高绩效。

The effectiveness of Section 139 interventions in strengthening municipal accountability in South Africa 第 139 条干预措施在加强南非市政问责方面的成效
Pub Date : 2023-11-16 DOI: 10.4102/jolgri.v4i0.146

Background: Section 139 interventions invoked against failing municipalities in South Africa are becoming prevalent and causing considerable apprehension among stakeholders in local government. Though previous studies have highlighted that Section 139 interventions have generally failed to address governance challenges in municipalities, their effectiveness in strengthening municipal financial accountability has not been examined.Aim: This article investigates the effectiveness of Section 139 interventions in strengthening municipal financial accountability architecture.Methods: This article utilised qualitative document analysis to assess the effectiveness of a Section 139 intervention in strengthening municipal financial accountability. Furthermore, the study utilised audit outcomes as qualitative proxy indicators to assess the effectiveness of Section 139 interventions to strengthen municipal financial accountability. The study focussed on municipalities from Limpopo, North West, and the Free State that have been placed under Section 139 intervention.Results: The findings from the analysis of data showed that a year after interventions, municipalities from Limpopo achieved a notable improvement in their audit outcomes, while municipalities from North West and the Free State did not improve. Though there was a notable improvement from municipalities in Limpopo, the improvement did not result in clean audit outcomes.Conclusion: The poor audit outcomes are indicators that Section 139 interventions are ineffective in strengthening municipal financial accountability.Contribution: This article contributes towards the debates and potential measures to strengthen Section 139 interventions to address the accountability challenges in South African municipalities.
背景:在南非,针对失败市政当局的第 139 条干预措施越来越普遍,引起了地方政府利益相关者的极大担忧。尽管以往的研究强调,第 139 条干预措施通常无法解决市政当局面临的治理挑战,但这些措施在加强市政当局财务问责制方面的有效性尚未得到研究。目的:本文研究了第 139 条干预措施在加强市政当局财务问责制架构方面的有效性:本文利用定性文件分析来评估第 139 条干预措施在加强市政财务问责制方面的有效性。此外,研究还利用审计结果作为定性替代指标,评估第 139 条干预措施在加强市政财务问责制方面的有效性。研究的重点是林波波省、西北省和自由省的市镇,这些市镇已被纳入第 139 条干预范围:数据分析结果表明,干预一年后,林波波省的市政当局在审计结果方面取得了明显改善,而西北省和自由省的市政当局则没有改善。虽然林波波省各市的情况有了明显改善,但这种改善并没有带来廉洁的审计结果:结论:糟糕的审计结果表明,第 139 条的干预措施在加强市政财务问责制方面效果不佳:本文有助于就加强第 139 条干预措施以应对南非市政当局的问责挑战展开讨论并提出可能的措施。

Enhancing municipal councillors’ oversight in local, district, and metropolitan municipalities 加强市议员对地方、区、直辖市的监督
Pub Date : 2023-11-06 DOI: 10.4102/jolgri.v4i0.145
David J. Fourie, Gerrit Van der Waldt
Background: Municipal councillors have a statutory and moral obligation to perform an oversight function over all municipal functions and ensure that suitable corrective measures are taken to deepen local democracy.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether municipal councillors succeed in their oversight role to deepen democracy in the local sphere of government.Setting: The study was conducted among a sample of local, district, and metropolitan municipalities in South Africa.Methods: An online-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from four target groups, namely chairpersons of Section 79 oversight committees (T1), chairpersons of standing and/or portfolio committees (T2), chairpersons of provincial Standing Committees on Public Accounts (T3) and local government experts (T4).Results: It was found that councillors are relatively ill-prepared to conduct their oversight responsibilities although adequate statutory prescripts and oversight mechanisms and structures are in place.Conclusion: Focused capacity-building programmes are required to enhance the competencies of councillors in conducting their oversight role and thereby to deepen democracy in the local sphere of government.Contribution: The research shows that municipal councillors do not have the necessary capacity and tools to perform their oversight role and recommends appropriate strategies and practices to improve the effectiveness of councillors in conducting oversight roles.
背景:市议员有法定和道义上的义务对所有市政职能履行监督职能,并确保采取适当的纠正措施以深化地方民主。目的:本研究的目的是确定市议员是否成功地发挥了监督作用,以深化地方政府领域的民主。环境:该研究在南非的地方、地区和大都市市政当局的样本中进行。方法:采用在线问卷调查的方式,收集了四个目标群体的数据,即第79条监督委员会主席(T1)、常务委员会和/或组合委员会主席(T2)、省级公共账户常务委员会主席(T3)和地方政府专家(T4)。结果:调查发现,虽然有足够的法定规定和监督机制和架构,但议员在履行监督职责方面的准备相对不足。结论:需要有重点的能力建设方案,以加强议员发挥其监督作用的能力,从而加深地方政府领域的民主。贡献:研究表明,市议员没有必要的能力和工具来履行其监督作用,并建议适当的战略和做法,以提高市议员履行监督作用的有效性。

Contextualising the factors influencing human resource development in municipalities 对影响城市人力资源开发的因素进行背景分析
Pub Date : 2023-09-29 DOI: 10.4102/jolgri.v4i0.119
Harlan C.A. Cloete
Background: Human resource development implementation faces several challenges that prevent organisational optimisation as defined in the Local Government Sector Education and Training Authority Skills Development Handbook and related regulatory framework. The assumption is that skills development facilitators (SDFs) do not have the functional competencies to effectively implement human resource development projects and programmes. Aim: The aim of the research was to present and reflect on the results of a survey conducted in selected South African municipalities to ascertain the factors influencing human resource development implementation and to assess the competence levels of SDFs to determine whether there are lessons to be learned. It also aimed to recommend how the identified challenges faced by municipalities can be resolved. Methods: The mixed-methods research approach involved the analysis of primary data obtained from a qualitative perspective, including semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. Questionnaires were completed by 239 line managers, 66 human resource development staff , 357 other municipal employees and 34 SDFs. Results: The study concluded that SDFs are experienced and qualified but that human resource development is poorly managed in municipalities on six levels (ethical values, policy, practice, organisation, internal democracy and stakeholders), which affects the overall human resource development performance of municipalities. Conclusion: Municipalities must follow an integrated management approach to manage HRD that includes a collaborative approach involving line managers, HRD professionals and employees. Contribution: Specific implementation recommendations are made to ensure that municipalities are equipped to manage HRD and thus ensure effective service delivery in municipalities.
背景:人力资源开发实施面临着一些挑战,这些挑战阻碍了地方政府部门教育和培训机构技能发展手册和相关监管框架中定义的组织优化。假设是技能发展促进者(sdf)不具备有效实施人力资源开发项目和方案的职能能力。目的:这项研究的目的是介绍和反思在南非选定城市进行的一项调查的结果,以确定影响人力资源开发实施的因素,并评估可持续发展目标的能力水平,以确定是否可以吸取教训。它还旨在就如何解决市政当局所面临的已确定挑战提出建议。方法:采用混合方法的研究方法,从定性角度对获得的原始数据进行分析,包括半结构化访谈和问卷调查。问卷由239名直线经理、66名人力资源开发人员、357名其他市政雇员和34名sdf完成。结果:研究得出结论,sdf是有经验和合格的,但市政当局在六个层面(道德价值观、政策、实践、组织、内部民主和利益相关者)对人力资源开发管理不善,这影响了市政当局的整体人力资源开发绩效。结论:市政当局必须采用综合管理方法来管理人力资源开发,其中包括涉及部门经理、人力资源开发专业人员和员工的协作方法。贡献:提出了具体的执行建议,以确保市政当局有能力管理人力资源开发,从而确保市政当局有效地提供服务。
