Media and stakeholder engagement
programme
The media and stakeholders engagement
programme is a certificated programme
offered at NQF level 4. It is offered in a
blended learning methodology, which
includes a practical element based on
simulated media interviews applicable
across various broadcast platforms.
SALGA has enlisted services of an
accredited service provider to implement
this programme and is scheduled to
commence with enrolment in the first
quarter of the new financial year.
Leadership competency model
A leadership model was developed that
aims to create a clear and unequivocal
call for leadership effectiveness. It has
been tailored for local government
and elected officials to assist in local
government change and transformation.
At the heart of the leadership model for
councillors is the ethos of both servant
leadership and transformative leaders
underpinned by knowledge and skills
for specific portfolios and overarching
ethical behaviours. The model was
presented at various platforms including
the national members assembly, in May
2016. SCLG’s approach is underpinned by
the leadership model.

Learner management systems (LMS) -
the leadership village (LV)
The SCLG developed and implemented
a learner management system. The
system is a web-based central repository
that allows distribution, tracking and
scheduling of learning initiatives offered
by SALGA (these could be instructor-
led or online sessions). It is an online
portal allowing councillors to interact,
collaborate and engage with SALGA
content experts. In future councillors
will be able to schedule themselves onto
instructor-led and e-learning courses via
the portal. Councillors are able to track
their own learning paths in the leadership
village (LV).
The 2016 generic councillor induction
programme (CIP) was supported by the
LV resulting 4158 user profiles created
during the CIP.
