- ItemThe role of governance in the sustainability of non-profit organisations and companies in South Africa(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2017-03) Mangaba, Cynthia Sibongile; Pieterse, Louw; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. School of Public Leadership.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research seeks to examine the relationship between governance and the sustainability of non-profit organisations and companies. It argues that good governance is the overarching internal factor within an organisation that influences its long-term sustainability. This research expands this argument further by identifying six main principles of governance and showing by means of a case study how their application (or lack thereof) affected the organisation. It argues that good governance practice is not a luxury for well-established non-profit companies that are required to comply with their registration requirements, but that good governance can be and should be practised by all organisations including small voluntary associations if they wish to become sustainable. It concludes with a discussion of the findings from the case study and practical recommendations for non-profit organisations and companies in South Africa that are struggling to achieve long-term sustainability.
