The aim of this study is to examine the extent of women representation in the Councils
of the Local Municipalities in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in the North
West, Province of South Africa. The specific objectives of the study are to investigate
the ratio of women representation at both the political and administrative structures of
the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality; and examine the factors which inhibit
the realization of the women quotas at the District Municipality level. This is an
empirical study which utilized both the qualitative and quantitative approaches in the
collection and analysis of data. The study identifies the extent of women representation
and establishes that there is insufficient women representation in general within local
governance in South Africa and in the Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality in
particular. As a consequence, although the critical legislative and policy has been
enacted, presentation of women in local governance still remains a challenge. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.(Development Studies) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2011
