Abstract
Since the democratic elections of 1994, there have been significant shifts in the race and gender composition of the national and provincial spheres of the public service. Less attention has been focused on what has happened in local government employment. This article examines the results of a large sample survey of local governments conducted by the Central Statistical Service in December 1997. The analysis suggests that there are severe imbalances in respect of representivity in this third sphere of government.
