This study sets out to examine whether the "new'' provincial governments in South
Africa are in practice functioning as "quasi-federal" power bases. The study starts with
an appraisal of the core constitutional concepts critical to provincial government as a
prelude to the enquiry into the practical status of the provincial governments.
An enquiry is made into the application of certain provisions of the interim Constitution
pertaining to provincial government. Thereafter certain provisions of the final
Constitution pertaining to provincial government are compared with the corresponding
provisions of the interim Constitution. The issue of provincial powers in practice and the
problems experienced by provincial governments are also dealt with. The study
concludes that provincial governments are currently not functioning as "quasi-federal"
power bases and that it is even doubtful whether that situation will present itself in the
foreseeable future. / Law / LL. M.
