Abstract
In 1988 the Soweto People's Delegation and the councils of Soweto,
Diepmeadow and Dobsonville began to negotiate an end to the rent boycott and
the crisis in the provision of services. Discussions between civic bodies and local
government officials - which eventually resulted in the Soweto accord - were
increasingly infonned by the slogan 'one city, one tax base'. In the wake of the
accord, other parties to similarly established negotiations commonly based their
approach on the 'one city' slogan. As a result, local government negotiations and
the institutional arrangements that followed were increasingly infonned by this
notion. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version]
