Abstract

This conceptual paper aims to examine the prevailing patterns of migration from local municipalities to metropolitan areas in the context of socio-economic transformations. Emphasizing the crucial role of local municipalities in addressing and mitigating migration towards urban cores, the paper underscores that the effectiveness of such efforts relies on factors like good governance, enhanced economic prospects, basic service provision, infrastructure development, and tailored skills training within the unique context of each municipality. Migration is a multifaceted phenomenon entwining economic, socio-cultural, and security dimensions. The unsustainable influx from the periphery burdens metropolitans, particularly in rural regions, challenging the mandated responsibilities. The failure of local municipalities to adequately deliver services exacerbates the strain on metropolitans already grappling with limited resources. The migration exodus from rural to urban centers often stems from pervasive socio-economic disparities, making migration a perceived solution to enhance the quality of life. Despite the advent of democracy, developmental progress in rural areas remains limited, necessitating a comprehensive approach that integrates rural development strategies with urban planning, job creation in urban areas, and the resolution of systemic issues. It is crucial to acknowledge that addressing migration requires a holistic perspective, as rural development alone may not suffice to deter migration to urban centers, given the diverse opportunities and amenities they offer. The paper advocates for a coordinated, multi-stakeholder approach involving governmental bodies, local communities, NGOs, and the private sector to achieve meaningful and sustainable results in curbing migration from local municipalities to metropolitan areas. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of achieving a more balanced and sustainable population distribution across municipalities for overall societal well-being.

Abstract

This conceptual paper seeks to give an analysis in terms of what constitute failure in a coalition government and to determine the importance of coalition government on good governance and service delivery. The phenomenon is not foreign in the South African democracy. Thus, its emergence in the metropolitan stirred a tag of war among political parties. Its practicality remains turmoil citing the issues of management and thorny governance. In August 2023 coalition charter was launched which stirred debate from the public perspective reflecting at the current state of coalition government that exacerbated poor governance in metropolitans. Multiparty system in metropolitan appears unstable; this is demonstrated through constant motion of no confident votes within a blink of an eye. With the growing number of political parties in the country, prophetically coalition government is new epoch to drive local government. Building a delicate political art remains a key in ensuring that citizens enjoy stable government and democracy. South Africa cannot escape the era of coalition. This paper uses a qualitative approach to conceptually analyse the role of coalition government, good governance, and service delivery. The culture of coalition in local government could enhance political diversity. The study reveals that pragmatism leadership constituted by political and policy differences affects the stability of coalition. The paper recommends that substitution of public good from self-interests bear acceleration of consistent governance.
