,1.1 Name the local municipality that will form the focus of your
evaluation. From the three political ideologies that were discussed in
learning unit 2 (conservatism, liberalism and socialism), critically
analyse the one that mostly resonates well with your chosen local
municipality. 15 marks


For this evaluation, the local municipality selected is Cape Town in
South Africa. Cape Town is governed by the Democratic Alliance
(DA), a political party that aligns closely with liberalism.
Critical Analysis of Liberalism in Cape Town
Liberalism and Its Core Principles: Liberalism emphasizes
individual freedoms, democracy, and free-market economics. It
supports the protection of civil liberties, the rule of law, and the
importance of a transparent and accountable government.
Alignment with Cape Town's Governance:
1. Economic Policies:
o Free-Market Orientation: Cape Town, under the DA,
promotes a market-friendly environment. The
municipality focuses on creating conditions conducive to
business and investment. This liberal approach has been
instrumental in making Cape Town a significant
economic hub in South Africa, attracting both local and
international businesses.
o Entrepreneurship and Innovation: There are numerous
initiatives aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, such as the
Invest Cape Town initiative, which aligns with liberal
values of economic freedom and innovation.

, 2. Social Policies:
o Civil Liberties: The DA prioritizes the protection of
individual rights and freedoms. In Cape Town, this is
evident through policies that promote equality and non-
discrimination. The city has been active in protecting the
rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and ensuring gender
equality.
o Education and Skills Development: The liberal
emphasis on education as a means of individual
empowerment is reflected in Cape Town's investment in
educational programs and skills development initiatives
aimed at reducing unemployment and improving the
quality of life for its residents.
3. Governance:
o Transparency and Accountability: The DA’s
governance in Cape Town is marked by a commitment to
transparency and accountability. The municipality
frequently engages in public consultations and makes
information readily available to the public. This approach
is consistent with liberal democratic principles.
o Decentralization: Liberalism advocates for the
decentralization of power to allow for more local control
and participation in government. Cape Town's
governance structure allows for significant local input
and management, aligning with this liberal principle.
4. Infrastructure and Public Services:
o Public-Private Partnerships: Liberalism often promotes
public-private partnerships to improve service delivery.
Cape Town has leveraged such partnerships to enhance
its infrastructure, from public transportation to utilities,
ensuring efficient and effective service provision.
