This in turn provides evidence based information on the extent to which the intergovernmental checks and balances are working in practice. This is significant as the study measures the degree to which the veto power acts as a safeguard in protecting the autonomy and institutional integrity of local governments. While the data to be collated and presented will document the role and function currently performed by the Minister and NCOP it will also provide an opportunity to assess the legal framework.enConstitutionNational Council of ProvincesVeto-powerThe veto power to terminate provincial interventions in terms of section 139 (2)(B) and 139(3)(B) of the constitutionUniversity of the Western Cape
