The demarcation of municipal boundaries in post-apartheid South Africa is characterised by objections from affected communities. Beyond polarising-affected communities, proposed redeterminations regularly elicit destruction of public infrastructure and even loss of life. Hostilities over municipal boundaries which were drawn in the rural areas for the first time. This article is drawn from the highly publicised demarcation unrests experienced in the Vuwani area as a result of the newly established Collins Chabane Local Municipality in the Limpopo province. Findings reflected in this article emanated from data collected through the questionnaire, interviews and secondary data sources. Empirical evidence uncovers low levels of public participation in demarcation process by the residents. Actually, more people in Vuwani participated in the anti-demarcation protests in objection to the new municipality. The fact that violent protests regularly accompany municipal demarcation objections in South Africa could reflect an urgent need to improve the facilitation of meaningful public participation in the municipal demarcation process.

Collins Chabane地方自治市的建立中的城市划界过程以及南非Vuwani爆发的原因

种族隔离后的南非对城市边界的划分以受影响社区的反对为特征。除了受两极分化影响的社区之外,提议的重新确定还会定期引起公共基础设施的破坏甚至生命的损失。第一次在农村地区引起的对城市边界的敌对行动。本文取材于林波波省新成立的柯林斯·查巴恩地方自治市,在武瓦尼地区引起了广泛关注的划界动荡。本文反映的发现来自通过问卷,访谈和辅助数据源收集的数据。经验证据表明,居民在划界过程中公众参与程度较低。其实,武瓦尼有更多人反对新市镇,参加了反分界抗议活动。南非经常发生暴力抗议并伴随着反对城市划界的事实,这可能反映出迫切需要改善对有意义的公众参与市政划界过程的促进。
