Brief description of ToR
The Constitution of South Africa gives municipalities the power to pass their own legislation, in the form of by‐laws, for particular subject areas. These by‐laws hold the same power and force as other national and provincial legislation. By‐laws are laws that are passed by the council of a municipality to regulate the affairs and the services the municipality provides in its area of jurisdiction. A municipality derives the power to pass a by‐law from the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, which gives specified powers and competencies to local government as set out in Part B of Schedule 4 and Part B of Schedule 5. By‐laws are laws managed by municipalities.
