C Mpangalasane Orcid.Org 0000-0003-0846-9973 The impact of coalition government on service delivery: City of Tshwane metropolitan C Mpangalasane orcid.org 0000-0003-0846-9973 Mini-dissertation accepted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the North-West University Supervisor: Dr G Alberts Graduation: July 2020 Student number: 29798930 ABSTRACT Municipalities in South Africa play a central role in propelling the national government's development agenda and ensuring that the culture of democracy within municipalities is entrenched. However, a number of problems are bedevilling the local government system in the country. These include the failure to promote and improve growth in the communities under which the municipalities operate. Frequent protests and demonstrations, sometimes violent, are reflective of popular perceptions that local governments have failed to fulfil their electioneering promises of good service delivery. The August 2016 local government elections changed the South African political landscape. Since there was no outright winner in the three metropolitan municipalities of Gauteng (Tshwane, Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni), coalitions and/or other kinds of voting agreements were needed to form municipal councils to co-govern the municipalities. Therefore, this study interrogates the impact of coalition government on service delivery using the City of Tshwane Metropolitan as a case study. Using the quantitative approach, this investigation sought to address the research questions raised in this study. Figures and tables obtained from quantitative analysis provided by SPSS were used in presenting the findings. Using a sample of 150, a satisfactory response rate of 86% was achieved. The reliability of the data obtained from the participants was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha test from the SPSS. A value of .83 was obtained showing that the data is highly reliable. Consequently, some of the findings indicate that most of the respondents disagree that there is quick response to service-related complaints in the City of Tshwane. In terms of electricity supply, water supply and refuse removal services, some residents are satisfied and some are not satisfied with the quality of service received. On fiscal probity, 49% of respondents agree that local councillors are corrupt. The majority of residents disagree that councillors have been effective in providing basic service delivery under the coalition, and also disagree that there is effective communication between the local government and the community. The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of the government coalition on service delivery. While the strides achieved through the government coalition of 2016 in the City of Tshwane, are acknowledged in this research, the overall findings do not suggest a positive impact. Reviewed literature indicated that the positive results of government coalition take time and there are challenges that both parties need to overcome. This study is a confirmation. Recommendations were made on how to improve the quality of service under the current administration of the Municipality. Keywords: Service Delivery, Coalition government, Local government, Development. ii DECLARATION I, CHRISTINA MPANGALASANE, solemnly declare that this work, The impact of coalition government on service delivery: City of Tshwane Metropolitan, is my own work. It has never, on any previous occasion, been presented in part or whole to any institution or board for the awarding of any degree. I further declare that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………………………………………….…………………………………….... iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincere thanks and gratitude go to the following people whose advice, guidance, support, and motivation have helped me to complete this study: My Almighty God for the strength and inspiration.

  • To Arrest Or Not to Arrest the Incumbent Head of State: the Bashir Case and the Interplay Between Law and Politics
    TO ARREST OR NOT TO ARREST THE INCUMBENT HEAD OF STATE: THE BASHIR CASE AND THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN LAW AND POLITICS JADRANKA PETROVIC,* DALE STEPHENS,** VASKO NASTEVSKI*** ABSTRACT In 2009, Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir (‘President Bashir’) was indicted by the International Criminal Court (‘ICC’) on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the conflict in the western region of Darfur, Sudan. The following year the ICC charged President Bashir with genocide over events in Darfur, where allegedly more than 300 000 people have died and more than two million people have been displaced since 2003. Before the ICC can prosecute President Bashir, it has to obtain custody over him. As a judicial institution without power to arrest those it indicts, the Court relies on national authorities. States to which President Bashir has travelled since the warrants for his arrest have been issued have been reluctant to arrest and surrender President Bashir to the ICC justifying their refusal by the head of state immunity argument. By focusing on the specific response of the South African government to the ICC’s arrest warrant against President Bashir in June 2015, this article considers the question of whether states must cooperate with the ICC in instances of an arrest warrant against a sitting head of state of a non-state party and observes the broader implications of state responses similar to the South African case. I INTRODUCTION If Bashir were to come to South Africa today, we will definitely implement what we are supposed to in order to bring the culprit to [The] Hague.
