    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Local Government in South Africa had undergone radical changes since the first democratic Local Government elections were held in 1995 and 1996. It was generally known that Local Government in South Africa during the apartheid era was racially fragmented. This resulted in historical and socio-economic imbalances. The emergence of a negotiated settlement for a new dispensation paved the way for a process of developmental local government in order to enhance the quality of life of the people. Challenging approaches confronted municipalities to utilise the options and tools at their disposal to make themselves more developmental. Integrated Development Planning (IDP) as a statutory obligation on all municipalities is considered pivotal to the planning of Local Govemment within post-apartheid South Africa. It is a vehicle to work in close collaboration with the local community to find sustainable ways to meet the socio-economic and material needs of all residents. Fundamental transformation is needed to bring about this new vision. Municipalities will have to be proactive and innovative in order to facilitate the change and secure the maximum synergy between the different roleplayers at the local level and the available resources. Councillors and municipal officials have to work together with the public, as stakeholders and partners, to identify and address new priorities. Against this backdrop the study aims to assess the attitudes and perceptions of councillors and officials with regards to lOP within the Municipality of Stellenbosch.
