Implications of in-migration for public administration in Gauteng – with special reference to Gauteng and other provinces

Abstract

This article describes some important processes which can be used by public administrators to successfully manage in-migration (urbanisation) in Gauteng. It shows ways and means the public administrators could utilise to reach set objectives. Equally important to this is the impression gained that many in-migration problems are caused by important issues such as lack of consultation, information sharing, decision making, participation, initiating action and paradigm shifting. For this global phenomenon to succeed the public administrators should implement proper planning, innovative participation, different strategies and relevant processes such as physical, economic, social and cultural developments.
