Service delivery has been and is still a challenge to be dealt with in South Africa. While social accountability
is deemed to be an important aspect in the democratic South Africa that should drive service delivery.
Hence, in a South African context, the service delivery is expected to be carried out by the public servant in
line with the adherence of social accountability. Furthermore, South African public servants are impelled to
abide with the democratically reformed and transformed public policies which open for transparency and
social accountability. However, an assumption is made that public servants have multiply the overlooking of
such aspects in service delivery. The paper then argues that the reasons to overlook social accountability in
service delivery, particularly in rural areas, is mostly caused by the initiation of riots, barricades, strikes and
protests among others in townships and urban areas. Such initiatives build up fear for public servants and
result in skewing service delivery to townships and urban areas. The paper concludes that aspects such as
silence in and unjust distribution of service delivery have always dictated the execution of public duties from
the post-democratic era. As a result, the level of social accountability in rural and urban areas becomes patently
unequal. Accordingly, the paper recommends the enforcing and adherence of policies and legislative frameworks
of service delivery to avoid biasness. This is a conceptual paper; thus, it uses literature-based approach
as its methodology. Within that context, the rapid and narrative literature review is employed for the purpose,
