Abstract
This study was concerned with the analysis of the JEA using
the generic view of public administration. It comprised of
the study of reading material on the JEA, Kwa-Zulu Natal
Indaba, Buthelezi Commission, NPA and Kwa-Zulu, and interviews
held with public officials of JEA, NPA and Kwa-Zulu.
The results revealed that JEA is not a usual regional
administration with identified land of its own, However , in
its unique position of being a part of two separate regional
administrations, it is a fully fledged public institution
endowed with all activities of public administration, namely:
functional activities, generic administrative processes,
auxiliary functions, and intra-generical phenomena.
Most of all, the study revealed that in its unique position,
JEA is a second phase in a process where the third and last
phase is a strong single regional administration in Region E.
To pave the way for this final phase the recommendations urge
the JEA:
* to broaden the Ministers' Forum to include three "own
affairs" Ministers who , if still existing, will be
affected by the move to a strong single administration in
this region;
to be pro-active
in bringing closer liaison
rendering similar functions
among
in the region
* to include research into a Future strong single regional
administration as one of the JEA goals;
* to gear the secretariat to the Ministers' Forum to
undertake this research ;
* to finance the research From the Joint Revenue Fund or to
approach both the Republic and Treasury and Kwa -Zulu Treasury to authorise over-spending on research ; and
* in filling the remaining vacant: posts, to consider public
officials knowledgeabIe in research work * to streamline existing procedures of different regional
administrations in order to determine uniform procedures
best suited for a strong single regional administration
of the future in Region E.
