A research report submitted to the Faculty of Management, University
of the Witwatersrand, in partlal fulfillment of the requirements for-tne
degree of Master of Management (in the field of Public and
Development Management). / This research report develops a review framework for metropolitan local
government in Greater Johannesburg and South Africa, through the extrapolation
of the key aspects of three generic models of metropolitan local government.
These models are classified as confederal. tow-tier and unicity type of city
government. The need for the review of local government in Greater
Johannesburg is illustrated through an historical overview or events in the
transformation of local government since 1990,
The crucial clements or the generic models arc also described in terms of
metropolitan evaluation criteria and area variables. Evaluation criteria are defined
as essential strategic indicators of performance, whilst area variables are seen as
those factors which contribute to the specific structure and nature of metropolises
in South Africa.
Tile generic models are compiled in the format of a review matrix. which take the
crucial elements thereof, as well as the evaluation criteria and area variables into
account.
Compatibility with the evaluation criteria are measured as being either low,
medium or high. The conclusion is made that either an integrating two-tier
system or metropolitan government or an unicity with limited delegation to
community councils represent the optimal alternative for Greater Johannesburg. / AC2017
