南非正式的地方治理制度以“区”为最低和最小的选举级别--一个由5，000至15，000名选民组成的空间单位。在世界上其他许多地方，选区相当于“选区”。值得注意的是，南非的历史意味着绝大多数人生活在规模远远小于病房的“社区”或街区，其中大多数是各种地方组织及其领导人的非正式领导的多个索赔网站。例如，我们的案例研究所在的开普敦区至少包括五个不同的社区，按种族和阶级区分。在选区正式区域的“下方”和“内部”，代表权的流行做法通过各种社区组织表现出来，这些组织或多或少是正式的、受管制的和得到承认的。其中一些社区组织是具体的邻里组织，而另一些则加入了更广泛的全国性组织，包括南非全国公民组织。南非全国合作组织是一个全国性组织，在区一级有相对独立和不同的分支机构，在大都市、省和国家一级有结构。值得注意的是，在地方一级，SANCO通常在每条街道设立委员会，有时在更高一级设立委员会，称为街区委员会，
The formal system of local governance in South Africa has the ‘ward’as its lowest and smallest electoral level–a spatial unit consisting of between 5,000 and 15,000 voters. The ward is equivalent to the ‘constituency’in much of the rest of the world. Notably, the history of South Africa means that the vast majority of people live in ‘communities’ or neighbourhoods that are far smaller in scale than the ward, and most of these are the site of multiple claims of informal leadership by a variety of local organisations and their leaders. For example, the Cape Town ward, in which our case study is located, includes at least five different communities, distinguished in racial and class terms. Existing ‘below’and ‘within’the formal area of the ward, popular practices of representation are manifested through a variety of community-based organisations, more or less formalised, regulated and recognised. Some of these community-based organisations are neighbourhood specific, while some of them are federated into broader, national structures including the South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO). SANCO is a national organisation that has relatively independent and heterogeneous branches at the ward level and structures at the metropolitan, provincial and national levels. Notably, at the local level SANCO is typically structured in terms of committees in every street and sometimes at a higher level called the blocks that meet
