Intergovernmental relations in the local sphere of
government in SA. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Jan 2009, Pages: 264
This book is about the role of intergovernmental
relations in facilitating the performance of the
local sphere of government in service delivery
in South Africa. In certifying the Constitution of
the Republic of South Africa, the Constitutional
Court in 1996 emphasised the importance of the
notions of intergovernmental relations and co-
operative government by inter alia stating
that: 'The constitutional system chosen by the
Constitutional Assembly is one of co-operative
government in which the powers of important
functional areas are allocated concurrently to the
national and provincial spheres of government'.
Given this statement, the book suggests that
intergovernmental relations among the three spheres
of government in South Africa can be regarded as a
key instrument for achieving co-operative
government. The book may be of interest to public
affairs students, researchers, academics and
government officials as it concludes that
intergovernmental relations in South Africa
facilitate the performance of the local sphere of
government in the delivery of services with specific
reference to the City of Tshwane Metropolitan
Municipality
