Local Government Project - Redefining the Political Structure of District municipalities

Outside the eight metropolitan municipalities, South Africa's local government system comprises two tiers, namely district and local municipalities.

A key problem is the often dysfunctional relationship between district councils and local councils. This 2008 paper explores options for the restructuring of the political structure of district municipalities.
