Description
Magome Masike and Ozayr Mahomed ask senior health managers in South Africa's North West Province what leadership problems block good care. Two district municipalities, Bojanala Platinum and Ngaka Modiri Molema, form the case. Their 2025 study ran six focus groups of six to ten managers each, plus eight deep interviews. Themes and stories were drawn out by paired analysis methods. The setting is a resource-strapped public system where managers juggle shortages daily.
Front-line leadership research is thin compared with studies of budgets and buildings. Managers' own accounts expose where policy meets reality: posts unfilled, supplies late, authority unclear. The authors aim to name the challenges precisely so training and reform can target them. Their case study method trades breadth for depth. The province gains a mirror held up by its own leaders.
