In studying leadership in South Africa in the post-apartheid period two major 'Education Management' need to be considered: first the research and theory on school management and leadership that has grown rapidly in western countries such as the UK USA and Australia and has informed leadership studies in South Africa; and second the complex framework of post-apartheid Management introduced to reform the schooling system including its leadership headship management and governance. Across and between these two Education Management leadership practices take locally specific forms.
