“…This article utilised the good local governance theory. Kartakoullis Karlis, Walker and Locke (2015) elaborate on good governance by stating that 'good governance is about democracy, transparency, and solidarity'. It has the following major characteristics: 'participation, rule of law, transparency, equality, responsiveness, vision, accountability, oversight, efficiency and effectiveness, and professionalism' (Vyas-Doorgapersad & Ababio 2010:413-414).…”

This scenario, according to Ncamphalala (2019:5), has impacted negatively the delivery of services to end users who are the consumers of 'municipal services'. Like other African countries, municipalities in South Africa also have to find practical answers to common problems, from providing power, water, homes, roads and transport to catering for the needs of a varying body of citizens (Ncamphalala 2019:6). However, according to the Department of Provincial and Local Government (cited in Vyas-Doorgapersad 2010:47):[I]t is an enormous challenge to improve the living conditions of the many communities that are afflicted by unprecedented high levels of unemployment and poverty, historical backlogs in infrastructure services and the uneven spread of economic resources.Background: Protea Glen is located in the north of Lenasia and west of Soweto. The face value of Protea Glen is massively disappointing, as the streets are dirty, sewerage pipes are always leaking, rubbish is dumped on every street corner and the streets have potholes and are in a poor condition.Aim: This article, within the framework of good local governance theory, examines the status of service delivery and institutional measures for improvement in Protea Glen. Setting:The study is based in Protea Glen, Region D: wards 13 and 135. It falls within the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in Gauteng province, South Africa. Methods:The study adopted a mixed-method data collection approach in conducting the research, which is a combination of qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys, supplemented with a literature and document review. Results:The findings revealed several causal factors leading to poor access to water, poor sanitation, inappropriate sewerage services, lack of refuse collection and inadequate electricity services in Protea Glen. Conclusion:The study proposes recommendations, such as the use of effective technology, educating the community, improving communication and enhancing citizen participation, which all municipalities in general and Protea Glen in particular should take into consideration.

“…For making this happen, a range of managerial competencies needs to be implemented starting with perception and understanding of the relevance of good governance (Camy & Palmer, 2007). In a study of national sports federations, management techniques that implement good governance can ultimately lead to success not only in the meeting room but also in the field (Kartakoullis et al, 2015). Another success that may be achieved is the identification and development of potential athletes.…”

“…Despite being a recent area, sport management is very specific and has its own set of needed competencies to succeed. However, perhaps because of being recent, people working in it still have a lack of competencies and knowledge that would better qualify them to work as sport managers(Anoceto et al, 2015;Kartakoullis et al, 2015;Barra et al, 2016;and Cárdenas et al, 2017). This This is very important to raise the level of sport in general.…”
