Abstract
This study examined the legacy and imprint of colonial administrative systems, behavioural systems and administrative processes on the post-colonial administrative systems in present day Zimbabwe. The key findings were that the colonial administrative system had a bearing on the transformation of local government in Zimbabwe. It was also established that the current local government system inherited most of the colonial administrative processes. The study recommended a holistic, hybrid approach to address critical factors or issues affecting the performance of both rural and urban local authorities in Zimbabwe.
