The Experiences of Women in Local Government. A Case‐study in the Durban Metropolitan Area

Résumé

Equal opportunity for all citizens, as enshrined in the Constitution of South Africa (1996), places gender as one of the key areas of redress in the process of transformation of the state and its structures. Local government has been a focal area of policy transformation, ensuring gender equity and equality. A case study of the Durban Metropolitan Area (1996 to 2000) revealed that women's participation in local government is fraught with problems, which bars their progressive development. The research identifies key stakeholders whose interventions would contribute to engendering state structures enabling equitable participation of women in local government.
