African National Congress (South Africa)
Abstract:This article is a case study of the role that the 'Third Way' politics of South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) has played in the development and implementation of Vision 2020, the integrated development plan of the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality. The evidence indicates that the connection between 'Third Way' politics and the projects of the municipality, especially the Coega Industrial Development Zone, is a strong one. However, there are significant challenges if the municipality is to meet its goals of economic development, poverty alleviation and citizen participation. One of the key challenges the municipality faces is to balance the large-scale development projects that it mandates with the everyday need to provide basic services to the population.
