Local Government Bulletin, November/ December 2007

2007 may prove to have been an important year in the development of local government in South Africa. The announcement by Minister Mufamadi on 31 July of the review of the White Paper on Local Government, coming alongside the development of a White Paper on Provinces, may lead to significant changes.

These are the introductory words from the Editorial of the final issue of the 2007 Local Government Bulletin.

"2008 thus promises to be a crucial year for local government, because the government will have to make key policy choices. Whether the most appropriate options are taken depends very much on how actively municipalities and Salga participate in the policy process through vigorous debate among stakeholders and with government. We at the Local Government Bulletin will seek to keep you informed and stimulate debate through articles and your opinion pieces. Let the debate begin!"

- Prof. Steytler, Director and Editor-in-Chief
