ENGLISH SUMMARY: In democratic procedures, holding public meetings is a frequent tactic, although the results are typically not very good in underdeveloped nations. If applied properly, however, it might work out to be the most successful tactic available. The general population ought to be granted the authority and freedom to direct, own, and influence every single development that occurs within its borders. Using the larger Stellenbosch Municipality as a case study, this research examines the Khayamandi community. While there are explicit legal requirements for public engagement in South Africa, underprivileged areas like Khayamandi have not yet reached the necessary degree of genuine and empowered public participation. The study utilised a qualitative research paradigm, collecting primary data through interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and observation, with an evaluative design to assess the effectiveness of an intervention or strategy. The most important data that this research uncovered is that public participation in poor communities is not achieving its objectives, as these communities are often left out of decision-making processes of programmes and projects in the form of local economic development targeted at these communities. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die hou van vergaderings is ’n gereelde praktyk in demokratiese prosedures, hoewel die resultate tipies nie baie goed is in onderontwikkelde lande nie. Indien dit egter korrek toegepas word, kan dit die suksesvolste praktyk wees. Die algemene bevolking behoort die gesag en vryheid te he om elke ontwikkeling wat in hulle grense plaasvind, te rig, besit en te beinvloed. Met die groter Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit as ’n gevallestudie het hierdie navorsing die Khayamandi-gemeenskap ondersoek. Terwyl daar uitdruklike wetlike vereistes vir openbare betrokkenheid in Suid-Afrika is, het minderbevoorregte gebiede soos Khayamandi nog nie die vereiste vlak van opregte en bemagtigde openbare deelname bereik nie. Hierdie studie het gebruik gemaak van ’n kwalitatiewe navorsingsparadigma om primEre data by wyse van onderhoude, vraelyste, fokusgroepe en waarneming te verkry, met ’n evaluerende ontwerp om die doeltreffendheid van ’n ingryping of strategie te assesseer. Die belangrikste data wat deur hierdie navorsing verkry is, is dat openbare deelname in arm gemeenskappe nie sy doelwitte bereik nie, aangesien hierdie gemeenskappe dikwels nie ingesluit word in die besluitnemingsprosesse van programme en projekte in die vorm van plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling wat op hierdie gemeenskappe gerig is.
