  • The Role of Regional Councillors in Consultation and Communication Regarding Rural Service Delivery in the Oshana Region of Namibia
    THE ROLE OF REGIONAL COUNCILLORS IN CONSULTATION AND COMMUNICATION REGARDING RURAL SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE OSHANA REGION OF NAMIBIA Tuhafeni Helao A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Administration in the School of Government, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, University of the Western Cape. October 2005 Supervisor Prof. C. De Coning i DEDICATION This research report is dedicated to the memory of my late grandmother, Susanna Mhingana Iiyambo; for her courage and advice from my childhood. Her departure on the 24th October 2004 has left a vacuum in the family, and indeed, in me, a memory which will never faint for the rest of my life. That is why I am saying: ‘Hambelela Nyokokulu, Nyoko ngeno ina dalwa’, if loosely translated it means; Praise your grandmother otherwise your mother could not have been born”. Thank you grandmother! ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Whilst I take full responsibility for whatever is presented in this Research Report, I am mindfully aware that it could not have been completed in its entirety without the undivided co-operation of a number of people, who gave their moral support, expertise, experience, views and time. Therefore, I wish to express my gratitude to my wife Emma and my children (Ndalinoshisho, Nangolo, Nelao, Ndeshipanda, Ndahafa and Ndapewa). Your patience, considerate and understanding have made this study a reality and without you being there for me I would never have achieved this. Secondly, I will not do justice to myself if I do not express my gratitude and appreciation to Prof.
