Development Paradox in Nhlangano Town Council: A Case Study
The Nhlangano Town Council faces a development paradox in the Mangwaneni settlement, as presented during the LAMAS convention. The area covers non-surveyed Crown Land where over 100 housing units are made of informal materials, lacking utility services. Governance issues, unclear leadership committees, and conflicts further compound the challenges. Engagements with regional authorities and proposals for forward planning and financing aim to address the complexities of development in Emangwane.
