Abstract:This paper analyses developments in coloured and Indian local government in South Africa from 1985 until 1989, with particular emphasis on the effect that the tricameral system (provided for by the RSA Constitution Act of 1983) has had on third-tier bodies such as Management Committees and Local Affairs Committees (LACs). It is contended that having political representatives at national level has given coloured and Indian local representatives an important access point through which their needs and problems can be addressed. The first part looks at how the tricameral system has changed the structure and functioning of coloured and Indian local government. The second part looks at precisely how the tricameral system has given these bodies greater influence. Various manifestations of this greater access, including case studies of specific local authorities, are examined. Bibliogr., notes, ref.
