INTRODUCTION The COGTA Ministry comprises the Department of Cooperative Governance and the Department of Traditional Affairs and the Municipal Infrastructure support Agent as a Government component.

CoGTA Constitutional Mandate CoGTA’s mandate is primarily derived from Chapters 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 12 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, hereafter referred to as the Constitution. Chapter 3 - This chapter deals with cooperative government and intergovernmental relations. The Department must ensure that the entirety of government observe and adhere to the principles in this chapter and that we all conduct our activities within the parameters of this chapter. Chapter 5 - This chapter deals with national intervention in provincial administration when a province cannot or does not fulfil an executive obligation in terms of the Constitution or legislation.

CoGTA Constitutional Mandate Continued Chapter 6 - This chapter deals with provincial intervention in local government, in particular when municipalities are unable to fulfil their executive obligation. Chapter 6 is also relevant when a municipality, as a result of financial crisis, breaches its obligations to provide basic services in order to meet its financial obligations. Chapter 7- The chapter deals with, inter alia municipalities in cooperative governance. The Department, by legislation, must support and strengthen the capacity of municipalities to manage their own affairs, exercise their powers and perform their functions. Chapter 9 - This chapter deals with those institutions whose role is to strengthen constitutional democracy in the country. Chapter 12 – This chapter deals with the recognition of the institution, status and role of traditional leadership, according to customary law, subject to constitution.
