Traditional leaders Serving in Council
One of the mechanisms for the enhancement of participatory democracy was the inclusion of Traditional Councils into municipal Councils as per the provision of the Chapter 81 (2) (a) and (4) of the Municipal Structures Act, 117 of 1998. Traditional Councillors constitute 17% of the Municipal Council Structure and that resulted in Ngqushwa Municipality having two (2) Traditional Leaders serving in Council, which their role is to ensure that matters relating to Traditional Councils are considered in the decision-making processes of Municipal Council.
