Abstract
This paper examines the nature of the public policy of the Cape Town City Council (CCC) from 1976 until 1986. Among the major variables analysed are the CCC's political complexion, the class background of the councillors, the CCC's organisational structure, the policy process and the role of bureaucrats in this process. The CCC's relationship with its supervisory body, the Cape Provincial Administration (CPA), is examined as are the rather thorny relationships with its Management Committees. The article is concluded by analysing the substance of CCC's liberal policy, with particular reference to its allocation of funds.
