“…The providers of infrastructure and service areas should serve as a compound for LED by starting and allowing a local growth environment that serves the public interest, as manifestation of what is best for local persons, rather than the satisfaction of the choices of native politicians, professionals and planners (Sharp et al, 2002). The provision of public goods by the government should be guided by the local community's felt-needs (Fannin et al, 2008). The administration cost recapture means that basic service areas delivered by the administration, are inherently contaminated public goods because the local inhabitants do not enjoy an exactly homogeneous quality and quantity, as far as consumption is concerned, despite there being sufficient quantity and quality from the production and supply side (Smith, 2004;Jaglin 2008).…”

The current socio-economic and political problems of South Africa are rooted in the colonial apartheid era as scholars and researchers suggest through extensive research. However, there have been high levels of service delivery protests related to the government performance on the issues of service delivery to the local communities' countrywide. Governments departments appear to be lacking much required knowledge and understanding of external factors associated with rural to urban migration such social-economic factors and other various relevant challenges, hence, local authorities are struggling to meet up with demands caused by the ever-increasing number of urban populations, which affects services delivery performance. The study was quantitative approach and used 5 Likert scale questionnaires which were distributed in the selected areas of eThekwini city. A total of 100 with 25 respondents per area, chosen areas include emhlabeni, emalandeni, ezimeleni and silver city. Whereas, qualitative aspects of the study were secondary data through extensive literature review, the study has found that indeed rural to urban migration has a negative impact on service delivery the study argue that service delivery, rural to urban migration, public participation need to be part of the government agenda holistically to improve service delivery and capacity of local authorities. This study recommends proactive urban planning and community involvement through public participation channels. The generalization of the findings of this study should be done with care.

“…Total personal income was estimated at US$1.5B, and there were direct and indirect contributions to local and state government tax revenues of US$280M and US$55M respectively. Fannin et al (2008) used community impact models to estimate the economic effects of oil and gas production from deepwater leases on growth on a regional area of Louisiana in the United States. They estimated that the industry was creating 0.59 indirect (business sector) jobs in the Lafourche Parish economy for every one direct job, with largest impacts in the transport and warehousing industry.…”
