Supervision of Local Government discusses the role of national and
provincial governments in supervising the functions of local
government. The book analyses the legal status of local government,
which is entrenched and protected by the Constitution, and examines
the powers of the national and provincial governments to supervise
local government. Supervision of Local Government explores
international practices in the supervision of local government and
investigates general trends in the supervision of selected
municipalities in South Africa. Shortcomings, inconsistencies and
irregularities in the supervision of local government are
identified. The book discusses the concept of `supervision' as it
relates to local government in its broad sense, which includes
monitoring, intervening in and supporting local government.
Supervision of Local Government also explores the manifestation of
the principles of cooperative government and subsidiarity in the
supervision of local government by national and provincial
governments. Cooperative government requires that the other spheres
of government intervene in local government to assist
municipalities in managing their own affairs, while the principle
of subsidiarity requires that services should be rendered at the
lowest possible level of government. Thus, the national and
provincial spheres have a duty to support the local sphere of
government in fulfilling this duty and this duty is analysed in the
book.
