Abstract
This article is a case study of the role that the 'Third Way' politics of The African National Congress have played in the development and implementation of Vision 2020, the integrated development plan of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality. The article concludes that the connection between `Third Way' politics and the projects of the municipality, especially The Coega Industrial Development Zone, is a strong one. However, the study also reveals significant challenges to the NMBM IDP meeting its goals of economic development, poverty alleviation and citizen participation.
