Title

The role of value-based leadership on local economic development: a case study of Nyandeni Local Municipality


Abstract

This study aims to analyse how value-based leadership can lead to local economic development, especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic. The study traces how the vision of value-based leaders can empower young women to 1) get out of the unemployment bandwagon; 2) get affirmed as capable people; 3) get access to land; 4) get trained in agri-preneurship skills, and 5) be able to sustain themselves. To achieve this, respondents were administered a structured qualitative questionnaire with both closed and open-ended questions. The study employed a non-probability sampling technique through purposive sampling, which made it possible to access particular populations fitted well in the limited time within which this research was carried out. The data was read to present this study's results, followed by coding and categorization. Through coding, the researcher could identify themes by observing how they were related to the research questions. The next stage was the interpretation of data. The study's findings revealed that women are discriminated from men and are not given fair treatment, there is inequality, patriarchy, and women tend to be undermined in the workplace. Furthermore, the findings of this study revealed that the vision of value-based leaders could empower young women by equipping them to start their businesses. This study recommends implementing women empowerment programmes, whereby women will be trained, equipped with skills to start their businesses, motivated, and given financial support. The results of this study may lead to policy implications.
