South Africa National Party Submission on the Local Government
This document displays the National Party's submissions on the local government to be sent to Theme Committee 3. The National Party believes that sound local government is the cornerstone of a healthy and viable democratic system. Local government brings decision-making closer to the people and affords them better opportunities to become involved in government processes in respect of matters
affecting their daily lives. In addition, strong local government that performs effectively and enjoys
the support of the people can in many ways achieve more than other levels of government in the
fight against crime, poverty and other social problems and in creating stable, peaceful and
prosperous local communities. For these reasons, they examine the role of the local governments in the constitution making process in details.
