    FF F Msukaligwa Local 1e- + Municipality AMENDED 2020 / 2021 IDP ii Foreword by the Executive Mayor Since the dawn of democracy, practitioners of public affairs have been called upon to refine and rationalize the various forms of public engagements to ensure the best outcomes for all stakeholders. Public management and governance has seen a myriad of demands on the rules of engagement, implementation of decisions and accounting for outcomes. Our local government sphere often faces the perennial demands to achieve more with disproportionately meagre resources. This scenario calls for closer interaction and appreciation of priorities as modern society becomes more diverse, not only on cultures or values but also on generational tastes and expectations. Maximum attendance, meaningful participation, rational expectations, are virtues than still need to be cultivated further if we are to emerge from consultations with the requisite outcome of our consultation. The advent of the Corona-virus and the subsequent declaration of the lockdown, might put a damper on our consultation. Public participation as we know it has been restricted to video conferencing or other form of electronic communication. This method has a potential of polarising communities and create some form of unnecessary 'class struggle'. We all appreciate the dire choices we faced and have left no stone unturned in ensuring that all forms of communication are utilized to bring the message of consultation home. Inadvertently, the lockdown regulations confined residents to their homes and it could be assumed that they were therefore available to listen to the radio and had the time to read the publications we sent out.
