Abstract
• Opsomming:
Navorsing het getoon dat pogings van plaaslike
owerhede om plaaslike ekonomie te ondersteun en
werksgeleenthede te verskaf, nie ’n onlangse
ontwikkeling in Suid Afrika is nie. Bewyse van Port
Elizabeth en drie Oos-Kaapse dorpe toon dat plaaslike
regerings aktief betrokke was in aggressiewe plekbemarkingsstrategië,
werksverskaffingsprogramme
en die beskikbaarstelling van verskillende
aansporings vir potensiële firmas. Strategieë wat
geïmplementeer was, het verskillende resultate
opgelewer en hierdie artikel beklemtoon In paar van
die merkwaardige verskille wat ontstaan het.
• Summary: Research has revealed that local authorities' endeavours to actively implement local economic development policies in an effort to boost these economies and generate employment opportunities is not a new concept in South Africa. Evidence from Port Elizabeth and three Eastern Cape towns reveals that aggressive place marketing campaigns, public works programmes and the granting of a variety of incentives to potential investors was a distinctive feature of municipal activity in this time period Strategies implemented met with varying degrees of success and this article highlights some of the contrasts which can be discerned
