Limits of Democratic Governance, THE
Power, politics and chiefs west of the Kei, 1828-2017
L PICARD & T MOGALE
The authors examine the impact of the transition from apartheid rule to democratic governance on South African society at its base. At the subnational government level they identify two trends: a promise of—or at least the demand for—local participatory governance; and local political elites trying to impose political structures and processes on society. This book examines the clash between those two historical trends and addresses the concern that South Africans may one day share the fate of many in the rest of Africa who reside in its urban slums and in its rural areas.
