Functioning of the Kwa-Zulu Natal Joint Executive Authority : a generic administrative analysis.

This study was concerned with the analysis of the JEA using
the generic view of public administration. It comprised of
the study of reading material on the JEA, Kwa-Zulu Natal
Indaba, Buthelezi Commission, NPA and Kwa-Zulu, and interviews
held with public officials of JEA, NPA and Kwa-Zulu.
The results revealed that JEA is not a usual regional
administration with identified land of its own, However , in
its unique position of being a part of two separate regional
administrations, it is a fully fledged public institution
endowed with all activities of public administration, namely:
functional activities, generic administrative processes,
auxiliary functions, and intra-generical phenomena.
Most of all, the study revealed that in its unique position,
JEA is a second phase in a process where the third and last
phase is a strong single regional administration in Region E.
To pave the way for this final phase the recommendations urge
the JEA:
* to broaden the Ministers' Forum to include three "own
affairs" Ministers who , if still existing, will be
affected by the move to a strong single administration in
this region;
to be pro-active
in bringing closer liaison
rendering similar functions
among
in the region
* to include research into a Future strong single regional
administration as one of the JEA goals;
* to gear the secretariat to the Ministers' Forum to
undertake this research ;
* to finance the research From the Joint Revenue Fund or to
approach both the Republic and Treasury and Kwa -Zulu Treasury to authorise over-spending on research ; and
* in filling the remaining vacant: posts, to consider public
officials knowledgeabIe in research work * to streamline existing procedures of different regional
administrations in order to determine uniform procedures
best suited for a strong single regional administration
of the future in Region E. / Thesis (MPA)-University of Durban-Westville, Durban, 1993.
