Background: In the period between 2014 and 2019, several municipalities in Limpopo demonstrated an inability to expend the Municipal Infrastructure Grant (MIG) funds allocated to them by the National Treasury within the provided timelines. As a result, monies were returned to the National Treasury and communities forfeited the expected infrastructure developments. The Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality was not exempt from this problem.Aim: This article investigated the factors impeding the spending of MIG funds in Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality.Methods: A qualitative research approach was followed, using a literature review and interviews to collect data with a convenient sample of key informants who were also local government officials.Results: The study found that a lack of planning for the municipality’s consolidated MIG application, community unrest and inadequate monitoring mechanisms, among others, were the prime factors impeding the overall spending of MIG funds in the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality.Conclusion: The municipality needs to act proactively, especially with consolidating MIG applications, which will provide officials with sufficient time to assemble the necessary tools, charting a way forward for spending the MIG, which translates into service delivery and infrastructure development in the municipality.Contribution: This article confirmed findings that emanated from the existing literature as far as implementation of MIG was concerned in municipalities. However, lessons from Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality showed that the extent to which such problems affected municipalities could differ, depending on factors such as political management and municipal capacity. Strategies peculiar to the Ba-Phalaborwa environment are proffered, especially with respect to the enhancement of the spending of MIG funds for improved service delivery provision through infrastructure development.
背景:在2014年至2019年期间,林波波的几个市镇无法在规定的时间内使用国家财政部分配给它们的市政基础设施拨款。结果,资金被退还给了国家财政部,社区失去了预期的基础设施开发。Ba Phalabowa市政府也不能免除这一问题。目的:本文调查了巴法拉博瓦市阻碍MIG资金支出的因素。方法:采用定性研究方法,采用文献综述和访谈的方法,从当地政府官员的关键信息来源中收集数据。结果:研究发现,缺乏对该市合并MIG申请的规划、社区动荡和监督机制不足等是阻碍巴法拉博瓦市MIG资金总体支出的主要因素。结论:该市需要积极行动,特别是在合并MIG申请方面,这将为官员们提供足够的时间来组装必要的工具,为MIG的支出制定前进的道路,这将转化为市政服务的提供和基础设施的发展。贡献:这篇文章证实了现有文献中关于MIG在城市中实施的研究结果。然而,巴法拉博瓦市的经验教训表明,这些问题对市镇的影响程度可能有所不同,这取决于政治管理和市政能力等因素。提出了Ba Phalabowa环境特有的战略,特别是在通过基础设施开发增加MIG资金支出以改善服务提供方面。

Comparative analysis of the public–private partnerships framework: Case for South Africa and Brazil 公私伙伴关系框架的比较分析:以南非和巴西为例
Pub Date : 2022-12-15 DOI: 10.4102/jolgri.v3i0.93
Thulani Mandiriza, D. Fourie
Background: This article provides a comparative analysis of South Africa and Brazil’s municipal public–private partnerships (PPPs) framework with the objective of obtaining lessons for South Africa. Between 1995 and 2019, Brazil had 96 municipal water PPP projects in contrast to South Africa, which had only six municipal water PPP projects.Aim: The article through comparative analysis seeks to gain insights from the Brazilian PPP framework and then to deduce some lessons for South Africa. Brazil was chosen because it has similar developmental characteristics to South Africa.Method: This article relied heavily on secondary qualitative data to analyse both South Africa and Brazil’s municipal PPP frameworks.Results: South Africa needs to frequently review its PPP regulatory environment to determine its effectiveness and fit for purpose; create a framework for fast-tracking smaller PPP projects; and put in place mandatory ex-post evaluation of PPP.Conclusion: South Africa’s policymakers must redesign the municipal PPP framework and approval process to be able to respond to changing environments and address the underlying reasons for the low uptake of municipal infrastructure projects.Contribution: The article provides valuable lessons to policy makers especially in Africa, on how to design an effective regulatory framework to facilitate the speedy adoption of municipal PPPs in the water sector.
背景:本文对南非和巴西的市政公私伙伴关系(ppp)框架进行了比较分析,目的是为南非获得经验教训。1995年至2019年期间,巴西有96个市政供水PPP项目,而南非只有6个市政供水PPP项目。目的:本文通过比较分析,试图从巴西PPP框架中获得一些启示,进而推断出一些可供南非借鉴的经验。巴西之所以被选中,是因为它与南非有着相似的发展特征。方法:本文在很大程度上依赖于二手定性数据来分析南非和巴西的市政PPP框架。结果:南非需要经常审查其PPP监管环境,以确定其有效性和适用性;为小型公私合作项目建立快速审批框架;对PPP项目实施强制性事后评估。结论:南非的政策制定者必须重新设计市政PPP框架和审批流程,以便能够应对不断变化的环境,并解决市政基础设施项目接受度低的根本原因。贡献:本文就如何设计有效的监管框架以促进市政公私合作在水务部门的迅速采用,为政策制定者(尤其是非洲的政策制定者)提供了宝贵的经验。

Background: The influx of people to urban areas has strained government resources, increased population-growth and increased housing infrastructure challenges. The government has been slow react in addressing the problems and as a result, crippling the service delivery.Aim: This study aimed to assess the negative impact of rural-urban migration in KwaDukuza municipality to improve the living conditions that have been compromised by rural-urban migration.Methods: The researcher followed the qualitative method of enquiry and the main methods used in data collection were semi-structured interviews. Sampling was done conveniently and purposively. Data was analysed thematically.Results: The high rate of population growth in Ilembe District Municipality is due to the lack of sound economic opportunities in the rural areas. The neglect in regard to the provision of basic infrastructure in the rural areas has also resulted in high rural-urban migration. Rural economic hubs can create rural economic activities and assist in managing rural-urban migration.Conclusion: South Africa continues to see a rise in rural-urban migration due to a lack of suitable and sufficient investment in rural development. Regrettably, due to the country’s economic imbalance, the urban influx of individuals looking for better economic opportunities and employment keep increasing. The study recognises the need of managing rural-urban mobility, which poses a substantial danger to rural development as well as burden on urban infrastructure.Contribution: The study informs the policy makers on labour market adjustment and structural transformation, possibly resulting in economic implications in terms of growth and aggregate welfare of citizens.
背景:人口涌入城市地区使政府资源紧张,人口增长加剧,住房基础设施面临更大挑战。政府在解决这些问题方面反应迟缓,因此严重影响了服务的提供。目的:本研究旨在评估夸杜库扎市城乡移民的负面影响,以改善因城乡移民而受到影响的生活条件。方法:研究者采用定性调查方法,数据收集主要采用半结构访谈法。取样既方便又有目的。对数据进行了专题分析。结果:伊伦贝区人口增长率高是由于农村地区缺乏良好的经济机会。忽视农村地区基本基础设施的提供也导致了大量的农村向城市迁移。农村经济中心可以开展农村经济活动,并协助管理农村向城市的移徙。结论:由于在农村发展方面缺乏适当和充分的投资,南非农村向城市的移民继续增加。令人遗憾的是,由于该国经济不平衡,城市中寻求更好经济机会和就业的人数不断增加。该研究认识到管理城乡流动的必要性,这对农村发展构成了重大危险,也给城市基础设施带来了负担。贡献:该研究向政策制定者提供了劳动力市场调整和结构转型的信息,可能会对公民的增长和总福利产生经济影响。

Background: Many developing countries are experiencing many financial management and control challenges such as corruption, fraud and misappropriation of public funds. In South Africa, municipalities are among the most affected public institutions.Aim: This article investigated factors impeding the successful implementation of oversight mechanisms meant to promote accountability, with specific reference to South African municipalities.Methods: A qualitative research methodology approach was used, and an extensive review of literature and key policy documents and reports was conducted.Results: The findings revealed the following factors as impeding the implementation of oversight mechanisms in South African municipalities: ineffective internal control tracking, Auditor General’s limitations to regularly make progress checks on recommendations made, nepotism in municipal appointments, futile audit committees and management’s inability to enforce consequences.Conclusion: In the process, this article recommended that municipalities should adopt a radical metamorphosis through greater accountability measures, strengthened monitoring and evaluation mechanisms and improved leadership and accountability.Contribution: This article proposed options for improving the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms at local spheres of government in developing nations such as South Africa. Furthermore, in general, this article contributed to literature on local government oversight mechanisms and local government performance in South Africa.
背景:许多发展中国家正在经历许多财务管理和控制方面的挑战,如腐败、欺诈和挪用公款。在南非,市政当局是受影响最严重的公共机构之一。目的:本文调查了阻碍旨在促进问责制的监督机制成功实施的因素,并具体提到了南非的市政当局。方法:采用定性研究方法,对文献、关键政策文件和报告进行广泛综述。结果:调查结果揭示了阻碍南非市政当局实施监督机制的以下因素:内部控制跟踪不力、审计长无法定期对所提出的建议进行进度检查、市政任命中的裙带关系、审计委员会徒劳无功以及管理层无力执行后果。结论:在这一过程中,这篇文章建议市政当局采取彻底的转变,采取更大的问责措施,加强监测和评估机制,并改进领导和问责。贡献:本文提出了提高南非等发展中国家地方政府监督机制有效性的备选方案。此外,总的来说,本文对南非地方政府监督机制和地方政府绩效的文献做出了贡献。

Communication and governance in a linguistically diverse human settlement in South Africa 南非语言多样性人类住区的沟通与治理
Pub Date : 2022-11-30 DOI: 10.4102/jolgri.v3i0.83

Background: Integrated human settlement initiatives are aimed at altering the apartheid housing patterns of the old South Africa that kept people of different races and languages apart.Aim: This article investigated how community leaders and municipal officials interact with their integrated constituencies to determine if the language(s) of communication used are unifying and are conducive for public participation in decision-making.Setting: The study was conducted at the eThekwini region in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in South Africa where isiZulu, an African language, is dominant in terms of the number of speakers, but English has prestige as a lingua franca.Method: The study was qualitative in that 15 participants were interviewed on their experiences, observations and perceptions of languages of communication usage in their integrated human settlement. The settlement was used as a case study and the participants were purposefully selected.Results: The findings indicated that isiZulu dominates as the preferred language of communication at meetings and in written documents where it is often presented alongside English. There were speakers of other languages that were not happy with the dominance of isiZulu.Conclusion: The dominant use of isiZulu bodes well for the promotion of African languages as they have in the past not been given the official status they deserve. However, its dominance in a multilingual environment it has the potential to make other community members feel linguistically discriminated against.Contribution: The study undertakes an interdisciplinary approach to provide a deeper understanding on the role of language in the governance of multilingual societies. It raises an awareness on the importance of finding a balance between using the dominant community language and recognising other languages to ensure full participation of all immaterial of diverse linguistic backgrounds.
背景:综合人类住区倡议旨在改变旧南非隔离不同种族和语言的人的种族隔离住房模式。目的:本文调查了社区领导人和市政官员如何与他们的综合选区互动,以确定所使用的沟通语言是否统一,是否有利于公众参与决策。背景:这项研究是在南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省(KZN)的eThekwini地区进行的,在那里,非洲语言伊苏鲁语(isiZulu)在使用人数上占主导地位,但英语作为一种通用语享有盛誉。方法:本研究采用定性方法,对15名参与者进行了访谈,询问他们在综合人居环境中对沟通语言使用的经验、观察和看法。该定居点被用作案例研究,参与者是有目的地选择的。结果:研究结果表明,isiZulu在会议和书面文件中占主导地位,通常与英语一起呈现。其他语言的使用者对isiZulu语的主导地位感到不满。结论:isiZulu的主导使用预示着非洲语言的推广,因为它们在过去没有得到应有的官方地位。然而,它在多语言环境中的主导地位有可能使其他社区成员感到语言歧视。贡献:本研究采用跨学科的方法,对语言在多语言社会治理中的作用提供了更深入的理解。它提高了人们对在使用主要社区语言和承认其他语言之间找到平衡的重要性的认识,以确保所有不同语言背景的非物质充分参与。

Contending for the designs and features of integrated development planning in South Africa? An empirical analysis of the Limpopo Province 争夺南非综合发展规划的设计和特色?林波波省的实证分析
Pub Date : 2022-10-31 DOI: 10.4102/jolgri.v3i0.77

Background: The Sphere of Local Government in South Africa serves a pertinent role of realising the provision of basic municipal services. In this case, the legislative interventions consider it mandatory for every municipality to develop integrated development plans (IDPs) to facilitate their developmental agendas. These municipalities are required to undertake approval process of IDPs to eventually generate measurable municipal agenda as the basis for basic municipal service delivery.Aim: This empirical study sought to analyse contentious issues regarding the structural design and operational features of the IDP process.Setting: Some municipalities in the Limpopo Province were selected for case study purpose where data were collected. This was in two district municipalities.Methods: Semi-structured interviews with adept municipal officials and councillors as well as surveys with some members of the community were conducted to gather relevant data so that informed analysis could be generated.Results: The findings highlight that the fundamental challenges of designs and features manifest on both the development and the implementation parts of the IDP process.Conclusion: It is therefore proposed, on the one hand, that there is a need to strengthen municipal capacity building for officials to facilitate an effective IDP process. On the other hand, municipal councils are considered necessary to have the capacity to undertake their oversight role over the municipal executive and functions in driving the IDP process agenda. In this way, a remedial consideration suitable for various categories of municipalities should be introduced.Contribution: No contentious issues regarding the structural design and operational features of the integrated development planning process was discovered and also demonstrates that there is no one-size-fits-all regarding municipal planning and implementation.
背景:南非地方政府在实现提供基本市政服务方面发挥着重要作用。在这种情况下,立法干预措施认为,每个市政当局都必须制定综合发展计划,以促进其发展议程。这些市政当局必须对境内流离失所者进行审批,以最终制定可衡量的市政议程,作为提供基本市政服务的基础。目的:本实证研究试图分析与IDP过程的结构设计和操作特征有关的有争议的问题。背景:选择林波波省的一些市镇进行案例研究,收集数据。这是在两个区市。方法:对熟练的市政官员和议员进行半结构化访谈,并对一些社区成员进行调查,以收集相关数据,从而进行知情分析。结果:研究结果强调,设计和功能的基本挑战体现在IDP过程的开发和实施部分。结论:因此,一方面,建议有必要加强市政官员的能力建设,以促进有效的国内流离失所者进程。另一方面,市议会被认为有必要有能力在推动国内流离失所者进程议程方面对市政行政和职能发挥监督作用。通过这种方式,应引入适用于各类市镇的补救措施。贡献:没有发现关于综合发展规划进程的结构设计和运作特点的有争议的问题,也表明在城市规划和实施方面不存在一刀切的问题。

In this way, a remedial consideration suitable for various categories of municipalities should be introduced.Contribution: No contentious issues regarding the structural design and operational features of the integrated development planning process was discovered and also demonstrates that there is no one-size-fits-all regarding municipal planning and implementation.","PeriodicalId":34771,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Local Government Research and Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43813183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
