| Abstract | ||
| African National Congress (ANC) has been enjoying the monopoly as the ruling party from 1994 and it has been poor in service delivery such that even citizens of South Africa realise how failing the democratic government can be. As South Africans realise the failures of ANC, the leaders of the party have become open to the idea of coalition with other small political parties and that marks more failures in service delivery. The aim of this paper is to explore some factors that cause poor service delivery in South Africa. This desktop conceptual research adopts analytic theoretical framework to analyse the problems brought by coalition governance in South Africa. Literature like newspaper reports, media statements, books, online videos will be used to collect data. Then the data collected will be thematically analysed. The conclusion will be that the coalition governments collapse due to lack of proper principles to monitor them. | ||
