{"product_id":"9780627024238","title":"Democratisation of South African Local Government - A Tale of Three Cities","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth Africa's first non-racial local government elections took place in 1995 and 1996, effectively bringing down the curtain on the municipal apartheid which had divided cities and towns since 1923. This study gives a general overview of the constitutional and legislative procedures involved in the democratisation process from 1994 and focuses on the important and controversial role played by boundary demarcation. Detailed case studies analyse the demarcation process in three major metropolitan areas: Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban. The title debates the extent to which political motives outweighed technical considerations, and offers guidelines for future demarcation criteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Rob+Cameron\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eRob Cameron\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rob Cameron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377385357475,"sku":"9780627024238","price":835.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780627024238_4129a271-88ad-476c-a1e3-19fd7a28fce2.jpg?v=1776482818","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780627024238","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
