Public participation should be the foundation of government’s interactions with other role-players and is primarily the responsibility of local government. According to Section 16(1) of the Municipal Systems Act (No. 32 of 2000): 16. (1) A municipality must develop a culture of municipal governance that complements formal representative government with a system of participatory governance, and must for this purpose – a. encourage, and create conditions for, the local community to participate in the affairs of the municipality, including in – i. the preparation, implementation and review of its integrated development plan in terms of Chapter 5; ii. the establishment, implementation and review of its performance management system in terms of Chapter 6; iii. the monitoring and review of its performance, including the outcomes and impact of such performance; iv. the preparation of its budget; and v. Strategic decision relating to the provision of municipal service in terms of Chapter 8; Yet, despite this legislation and other policy guidelines, “meaningful and effective citizen participation is the exception. In reality participation is limited to symbolic and tokenistic attempts using consultative methods, reinforcing social exclusion and power disparities. Municipalities fail to create conditions, which enhance local abilities to effectively engage in development processes” (Khanya-aicdd, 2015). Some of the reasons for the sorry state of public participation include the following (ibid): • Role-players are not organised or in a position to participate meaningfully with local government. • Local government does not have a clear vision of what effective public participation looks like or should be. • Institutional support within municipalities is ineffective because of the lack of vision about which roles each department or staff member should play in supporting local government public participation processes. COGTA is promoting a community-based planning (CBP) approach to address current shortcomings in public participation. CBP initiatives focus on (ibid): • Improving the quality of integrated development plans (and associated local strategies) by incorporating information and perspectives from local citizens and role-players. • Realising sustainable livelihoods within communities. • Improving service delivery by updating sector plans with input from local citizens and role-players. • Promoting community action around specific interventions, with the support of the local government. • Promoting community control over development within a given jurisdiction. 296 State of South African Cities Report 2016
From available information (ibid) the CBP approach has experienced certain challenges, notably: • The process does not empower communities. • The approach does not adequately address the provision of sustainable livelihoods for the poor in a given community. • The process does not include all community stakeholders, which dilutes the impact of projects and initiatives agreed to during the community-based planning process. CBP centres on the premise that public participation occurs when the community involved takes control of the development process, as shown in Arnstein’s Ladder of participation (Figure 8.4). Figure 8.4: Arnstein’s ladder of participation 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Citizen control Delegated power Partnership Placation Consultation Informing Therapy Manipulation Citizen power Tokenism Non-participation Source: Arnstein (1969) Effective local government-led public participation is time-intensive, confrontational, and requires advanced skills in mediation and the capacity to compromise. The expectations placed on officials are onerous, while public participation processes tend either to include all relevant municipal staff (which is a waste of resources) or to use only specialist public participation officials and associated consultants (which runs the risk of excluding critical officials). Good internal communication is needed in order to get the balance right for a given public participation initiative. CBP must allow for a differentiated approach to public participation, which recognises that different communities and different roleplayers require different interactions and outcomes from local government. 8 ENABLING ENVIRONMENT 297
