One-size-fits-all local government is failing South Africa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africa needs to radically rethink its system of local government, says a new study from the Institute of Race Relations (IRR). The study, Local government: crises decades in the making and how to deal with them, by Projects and Publications Manager Terence Corrigan, argues that South Africa’s model of wall-to-wall municipalities with extensive developmental mandates has shown itself to be no longer fit for purpose. Municipalities differ enormously in their economic foundation, institutiona
Municipal failure is fuelling our national economic crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Africa cannot achieve the economic growth it desperately needs while its cities and towns struggle to provide the infrastructure and services on which businesses and households depend, says a new analysis published by the Institute of Race Relations today.

He is also a long-standing fixture of South Africa’s “left”. An enduring
New IRR report on overhauling local government to be released at webinar next week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As local elections approach, the failures of many of our municipalities have become front of mind for South Africa. Dysfunctional towns and cities constitute some of the most acute burdens on the quality of life and economic prospects of the country. Their malaise is turning into an existential issue for South Africa’s future. And while the everyday symptoms – gaping potholes, burst pipes and uncollected refuse on our streets – claim public attention, beneath them lie a series of profound politi
