Thesis (MPA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis analyse the new trend of governance and
management, introduced in the public sector abroad and now
for the past couple of years in South Africa.
The research further explores issues affecting public
service delivery in general and then concludes by exploring
local government in the Boland area in the Western Cape.
The development role of government, and especially local
government in South Africa necessitates alternative methods
of service delivery, funding and skills transfer. The
performance in developing countries as far as service
delivery is concerned is hampered due to many constraints,
of which unemployment and poverty are two most important
ones.
The literature review has explored the role New Public
Management can play in achieving sustainable local
government and further reviews developmental local
government in South Africa. Public-private partnerships as a
means of service delivery have also been dealt with in the
literature review.
The case study focuses on a municipality in the Western
Cape, Boland region, the Breede River/Winelands Municipality
and its demographic, employment and affordability status. It
further highlights the investigations done to determine
using alternative measures to render services and for
partnerships. The current public-private partnership that is
in place is also evaluated and elaborated on. If the
municipality do not use alternative sources to generate
income, create jobs and render services, be it due to outsourcing or partnerships, the municipality will not be
able to deliver affordable services and meet its obligation
to render sustainable services in the area. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing

regering in Suid-Afrika noodsaak alternatiewe metodes van
dienslewering, befondsing en die oordra van vaardighede. Die
prestasie binne ontwikkelende lande sover dit dienslewering
betref, word belemmer deur te veel struikelblokke, waarvan
werkloosheid en armoede twee van die belangrikste is.
Die li teratuur studie ondersoek die rol wat nuwe publieke
bestuur (New Public Management) kan vervul om volhoubare
plaaslike regering te verseker. Verder ondersoek ditook

bekostigbaarheids aspekte word ook ontleed. Die ondersoeke
wat gedoen is om alternatiewe metodes en bronne vir
dienslewering te bepaal, wat vennootskappe ins lui t, is ook
hierin vervat. Die publieke privaat vennootskap wat tans
bestaan binne die munisipaliteit, word ook op uitgewei. Indien die munisipaliteit nie alternatiewe bronne vind om
inkomste te genereer, werkgeleenthede te skep en diens te
lewer nie, hetsy deur privatisering of vennootskappe, sal
die munisipaliteit nie daarin slaag om bekostigbare diens te
lewer en dienste te verskaf nie. Die munisipaliteit sal dan
ook nie sy verpligting om volhoubare dienslewering binne sy
regsgebied te verseker en ook nie sy verpligting om
volhoubare plaaslike regering daar te stel, kan nakom nie.
