THE STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTIN SOUTH AFRICA

CoGTA conducted an assessment of ‘The State of Local Governmentin South Africa’ (2009). The lack of professionalism has manifests itself in avariety of forms and these include:

High incidence of irregular or inappropriate appointments; Low human resource and financial capacity; Poor skills development programmes; High turnover and vacancy rates; Lack of effective performance management; Ineffective leadership and institutional management; Weak intergovernmental support and oversight. Lack of a comprehensive information repository. Lack of a coherent policy framework for skills development.
