Overview
The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) is the constitutionally mandated organisation responsible for local government oversight. SALGA performs two key strategic roles within the system of government: as protector, robustly enforcing the rights of the local government sector; and constructively disrupting areas of existing systems that make it impossible for local government to deliver on its mandate.
Since its establishment, SALGA has endeavoured to bring focus to its mandate of supporting local government transformation in a complex environment, characterised by a highly diverse membership base of municipalities. In terms of its amended Constitution, SALGA is a unitary body that consists of a national association and nine provincial offices. SALGA has a clear strategic role to play in representing the interests of local government within the system of government as a whole on the one hand, and supporting its members to fulfil their developmental obligations, on the other.
As a full partner in government, SALGA is expected to be an active participant in the intergovernmental relations (IGR) system, to provide common policy positions on numerous issues and to voice local government interests, as well as provide solutions to the challenges facing local government.
