AB  - The study was carried out at Thulamela Local Municipality within Vhembe District&#xd;
Municipality in Limpopo Province in the Republic of South Africa. The study is about an&#xd;
investigation into the role of traditional leadership in community development: A case of&#xd;
Thulamela Local Municipality. In South Africa, municipalities, especially those which are&#xd;
found in rural areas, are faced with challenges that sometimes hamper development and&#xd;
thus service delivery to clients. These challenges are sometimes as a result of the way&#xd;
traditional leaders execute their role in service delivery in their areas. It is in this context that&#xd;
this study attempts to investigate the role of traditional leadership in community&#xd;
development and how this impacts on service delivery. Only quantitative method was used&#xd;
to collect data. Questionnaires were formulated and conducted to traditional leaders in&#xd;
Thulamela Local Municipality. Questionnaires were designed and administered to traditional&#xd;
leaders in Thulamela Local Municipality. The study seeks to investigate the role that&#xd;
traditional leaders play and how they can be capacitated to improve service delivery. The&#xd;
study seeks to find ways through which traditional leaders can be capacitated to perform&#xd;
their roles effectively in their communities. This study established clearly that traditional&#xd;
leaders play a role in maintaining law and order in their communities. It also became&#xd;
evident with this study that communication between traditional leaders and ward councillors&#xd;
leaves much to be desired. It revealed a trend that traditional leaders are needed,&#xd;
especially when communities embark on protests.&#xd;
