MA (Political Studies) / Department of Political Studies / The adoption of the constitution in 1996 has opened a new era of establishing a local
government system that recommended that municipalities be established for the whole territory
of the republic of South Africa. The white paper on “Local Government adopted by Cabinet in
March 1998 outlined framework and programmes to guide municipalities to commit to work with
citizens and groups within the communities to find sustainable ways to meet their social,
economic and material needs to improve the quality of their lives”. Since 2007 epidemic service
delivery protests started to be a national problem where 80 percentages of service delivery
protests between the periods of 2007-2014 were violent. For instance, Musina Municipality
experienced violent service delivery during the period of 2007-2014 where its properties,
economy and people’s lives were in stake. Therefore, this study was driven by the need to
analyse the implications of service delivery protests on the economy of Musina Municipality.
A qualitative method approach to investigate the problem of service delivery protests
implications on stability and economy in Musina Municipality will be used. A case study
regarding service delivery effectiveness and violence used by people as a response and
expression of a plea to be heard by their municipality will be investigated. / NRF
