M.Comm. / That there has been a revolution in intergovernmental fiscal relations system is undeniable. The political and constitutional transformation that took place in South Africa has not gone unnoticed in the civil society, and certainly not in the international world affairs. After a period close to a decade of democratic system of governance in South Africa, the time is more than ripe to do a comprehensive review of intergovernmental fiscal relations. Given the variety of demands and pressures on the system, both from policy and from a constitutional point of view, it is important to reflect on the performance of the system in a manner that prepares it for future challenges. Provinces are no longer merely spending agencies for central government. Instead, they have been empowered by the Constitution to fashion their own policy priorities in certain areas and to translate these into resource allocations that will support these policy objectives. The focus of this study is to critically evaluate the South African intergovernmental grant system since 1994, noting the changes, successes and challenges that constitute future areas of improvement. The results can be used by other policy analysts, managers and can also constitute the basis for future research.
