Abstract
The need to promote quality service delivery and ensure that schools are managed and governed in a democratic way has led the state in South Africa to enact the South African
Schools Act (SASA) 84 of 1996. The SASA (No. 84 of 1996) envisions a participatory, inclusive, transparent, accountable and responsive education system, through creating the
enabling structures of School Governing Bodies (SGBs) as vehicles or mechanisms to ensure the realization of these democratic ethos. It is within this vein that the current study sought to
investigate the challenges facing the management and governance of schools within the King Williams Town Educational District. Deductive reasoning through the use of quantitative
methodology which supported by extensive literature review was employed in conducting the study and the data was elicited through the use of Likert scale questionnaires. The study was anchored upon the decentralization and cooperative governance theories.
