摘要：
Supervision is crucial in social work for enhancing service delivery standards. In South Africa, deficiencies in supervision practices and ineffective implementation of the social development approach have negatively impacted service quality. This study investigated the relationship between supervision and the adoption of the social development approach within the Department of Social Development in Mpumalanga's Gert Sibande District. Using a qualitative case study design and semi-structured interviews, the findings revealed that supervision in the district does not effectively support the social development approach, raising concerns about service delivery quality.
