Abstract
On 31 July 2007, the Department of Provincial and Local Government (DPLG) initiated a policy review process of provincial and local government. It will ultimately result in a first White Paper on Provinces and a discussion document on local government. The process will be a national debate, comprising a public participation process, research and a review of experience. The Department has started the process by publishing 65 “Questions for public engagement”. Comments on these questions and on any other relevant topic can be submitted to DPLG until 31 October 2007.
