The paper examines the collaboration between local government and mining companies in Rustenburg, South Africa, emphasizing the need for alignment between the Social and Labour Plans of mining companies and the Integrated Development Plans of municipalities. However, simplistic assumptions and narrow vision associated with collaborative planning, alignment, and integration are called into question. The regulatory framework does not facilitate positive relationships and fails to suggest procedures to ensure joint planning, mutual accountability, and transparency, resulting in continued disruptions and damage to the local community.
Collaborative governance and planning have become the norm in governance circles. The mining industry has also embraced collaborative efforts and in South Africa, mining companies must submit such a collaborative plan to obtain a mining licence. This paper examines this attempt of collaboration between local government and mining companies in Rustenburg South Africa. Mines and local governments must collaborate and align the Social and Labour Plans (SLPs) of mining companies with the Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) of municipalities. Simplistic assumptions and the narrow vision associated with collaborative planning, alignment and integration are questioned. The regulatory framework does not facilitate positive relationships or suggest procedures to ensure joint planning, mutual accountability and transparency. The formal system of collaboration is too complex for the available capacity and represents a reluctant partnership with high levels of distrust and a lack of accountability. The evidence shows an inability to improve relationships and continued disruptions and damage to the local community.
