Devolving Development: Integrated Development Planning and Developmental Local Government in Post-apartheid South Africa
The post-apartheid government in South Africa faces significant challenges in coming to terms with the country's apartheid legacy. In addition, newly adopted principles of democratic participation and civic responsibility have made local government a key focal point for development initiatives. This article examines how attempts to correct past injustices, and to strengthen local government planning and administration, are to be undertaken through the twin concepts of 'development local government' and 'integrated development planning'. Key policy, legal and applied processes associated with these endeavours are detailed, before shifting attention to three case studies of initiatives being taken. The assessment reveals that although innovative, locally-based planning is highly appropriate, there are many practical issues which give cause for concern.
