	Background - South African local government elections 5 December 2000
		The delays in KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Town metropolitan were due to disputes that ranged from demarcations of metropolitan and substructure boundaries to voter-candidate registration irregularities.
		The Municipal Structures Act of December 1998 further impacted upon the demarcaction process and provided for different categories of municipalities: category A (metropolitan councils), category B (local councils) and C (mainly rural district councils).
		However local activists, trade unions and civic groups (particularly in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg) have responded with skepticism and opposition to the plan, suggesting it is designed to favour neo-liberal policy imperatives, that is, to ensure that policy directives of the government macro-economic strategy are heeded at all levels.
