South African Governance will help the student understand the conceptual and contextual frameworks essential for establishing a sound foundation for South African governance, and allows the student to acquire knowledge of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. The book builds on theory by discussing the current state of governance and providing potential future perspectives. It concludes by integrating theory, contexts and institutions with current realities. It does this by discussing governance from policy to implementation, and giving the student practical applications of South African governance.
