Some of these challenges include roads as well as construction management and maintenance, water provision, sanitation and economic development. Training and development of employees of the MKLM could be essential to improve the capacity of employees to deal with the constantly changing demands and needs of its community. Such training and development programmes need to be aligned to the institutional goals and objectives to have a significant impact on the improving service delivery. The South African government recognises training and development in the local sphere of government as a priority. The South African Local Government Association (SALGA), Local Government Sector Training Authority (LGSETA) and other relevant structures are committed to providing local government institutions with the necessary funds for skills development programmes. A literature review on local government training and development is conducted, the relevant South African policy and legislative regime on training and development are scrutinized, and the case for training and development in the MKLM is presented. An assessment is done by evaluating the MKLM’s training and development programmes by applying the theories presented in the literature and regulatory reviews. Finally recommendations are made and conclusions drawn.enCC0 1.0 Universalhttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/TrainingDevelopmentEconomic developmentSanitationMoses Kotane Local MunicipalityThesis
