Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, promotes local government as an autonomous sphere, but hierarchical political arrangements and party structures have weakened this, leading to a weakening of local voices. Local government is crucial for providing essential services like water, electricity, housing, and infrastructure development, aiming to bridge the gap between wealthy and disadvantaged communities and improve the quality of life. However, South Africa's local governments face numerous challenges in service delivery, including bureaucratic inefficiencies, insufficient resources, and systemic corruption, which hinder their ability to provide essential services to these communities. This study carefully explores the evolving role of local government within South Africa's macro-development agenda, focusing on the challenges of service delivery and the reforms in governance. It is grounded in three fundamental theoretical perspectives: the Democratic Participatory School, which underlines the importance of local government in promoting citizen engagement and accountability; the Efficiency Services School, which regards local governance as a means for effective and responsive service provision; and the Development School, which sees local government as a catalyst for socio-economic development and transformation. The study employs a qualitative research approach. The study explores the governance structures, policies, frameworks, and service delivery outcomes. The data collection emanates from secondary sources, including governmental reports, policy documents, and scholarly publications. The data is analysed thematically to uncover key service delivery challenges. In the quest to improve service delivery in South Africa, the study welcomes the proposed revision of the 1998 white paper on local government as a robust and decisive approach to strengthen service delivery outcomes. The study believes that revising the 1998 White Paper on Local Government presents a crucial opportunity to enhance service delivery in South Africa by addressing systemic challenges that have hindered municipal effectiveness over the past 30 years. A refreshed policy framework can improve the responsiveness of local governments, ensuring the timely and efficient provision of essential services such as water, sanitation, and electricity. The study further recommends the necessity for improved intergovernmental collaboration, increased stakeholder participation in municipal affairs, and capacity building within institutions to enhance governance effectiveness and ensure sustainable service delivery. The study concludes that it is crucial to reposition local government within the broader context of the national development strategy to achieve long-term socio-economic advancement.

Abstract

The removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria has sparked significant debates regarding its impact on governance, economic sustainability, and public welfare. This study examines the governance dynamics influencing subsidy removal and its economic implications for long-term development. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research collected data from 385 respondents in Bida, Niger, and employed a binary logit regression model to analyze the economic, social, political, and external factors influencing policy outcomes. The findings suggest that while subsidy removal aims to reduce fiscal pressure and enhance economic efficiency, it has triggered inflation, disproportionately affecting low-income households and exacerbating economic inequality. The social consequences include heightened public dissatisfaction due to rising transportation and living costs, with government palliatives failing to sufficiently alleviate economic hardship. Politically, subsidy removal has undermined trust in the government due to concerns about corruption and misallocation of funds. The study highlights the need for a transparent framework to manage subsidy savings, accompanied by comprehensive social welfare policies to mitigate negative impacts. Policy recommendations include targeted subsidies for vulnerable groups, improved public transportation, and increased government transparency to rebuild public trust and ensure sustainable economic reforms.

Abstract

This article explores the Sawah Pokok Murah (SPM) initiative in West Sumatra as a localized, reconstructive response to the capitalist-driven global food system. Through a historical sociology approach and food sovereignty framework, the study investigates how SPM challenges structural inequalities in global food markets by promoting sustainable farming practices and community empowerment. The paper analyzes the historical context of SPM, its socio-economic impact, and its role in resisting neoliberal agricultural policies. Key findings reveal that SPM empowers local farmers, reduces dependency on global supply chains, and fosters economic resilience, thereby providing a viable alternative to market-driven agriculture. However, challenges such as youth engagement and regional disparities highlight the need for targeted policy interventions. This study contributes to the discourse on food sovereignty and offers a critical perspective on how localized innovations can reshape global agricultural systems toward greater sustainability and equity.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digitalization on the preservation of local knowledge within the Ammatoa Kajang community in South Sulawesi. It specifically addresses the research questions: (1) What forms of local knowledge in the Ammatoa Kajang community are suitable for digitization? (2) What are the challenges and opportunities in digitizing local knowledge in this context? (3) How can participatory and ethical approaches ensure the preservation of local knowledge through digital technologies? Local knowledge, including value systems, customary law, and ecological rituals like Ma'bara, is increasingly at risk of extinction due to globalization and cultural commodification. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study reveals that digitalization can serve as an effective tool for expanding intergenerational knowledge, provided it is guided by participatory principles, community control, and strong cultural ethics. The findings suggest that without the active involvement of indigenous communities, digitalization may undermine the symbolic meaning and spirituality of this knowledge. The study also highlights key limitations, including the risk of decontextualization and cultural misrepresentation when digitalization is not community-driven. This research underscores the need for collaborative strategies, digital-based cultural protection policies, and approaches aligned with local values to safeguard traditional knowledge in the digital era.
