Description

Abstract This paper is based on field research in Ekurhuleni Metro, Vosloorus (Wards 44 and 47). The recent demarcation of wards and the creation of an attendant system of political representation (ward councillors) and participation structures (ward committees), was intended to enhance democratic participation. However, this can only be fully achieved if the population of a ward has a strong sense of ownership of both their spatial community and local politics. But all wards are socially and culturally diverse. The questions then become: how is this diversity dealt with in the political sphere? What are the dynamics of identification for the inhabitants of the wards? How can local democracy, in the context of internal diversity, be just, in the sense of integrating diverse communities or of facilitating expression of differences?
