M. Tech. Public Management / Community participation is intended to promote the values of good governance and human right. While the ultimate decisions in local government are made by elected local councillors, residents are consulted as much as possible in order to create democratic spaces. All the residents affected should participate in the decision-making with designated representatives who decide on their behalf. In South Africa pre 1994, government made decisions on behalf of communities and government legislation described the extent of community participation and how participation should be applied. The current South African government still lacks an effective mechanism or plan to apply and involve communities to participation in projects such as N2 Gateway housing development project The main focus of this study is to determine the extent to which the Langa (Joe Slovo) community participated in the planning and implementation of the N2 Gateway housing project.
