<strong>Limpopo</strong> Local Government<br />
LISTING<br />
A guide to the district and local municipalities in <strong>Limpopo</strong>.<br />
South African local government has undergone<br />
considerable transformation<br />
over the past decade, as outlined in the<br />
Constitution of South Africa (1996). The Local<br />
Government: Municipal Structures Act of 1998<br />
reduced the total number of municipalities in the<br />
country from 843 to 284 (now 283) and laid out criteria<br />
for determining whether an area should have a<br />
Category A Municipality (Metropolitan Municipalities),<br />
a Category B Municipality (Local Councils or<br />
Municipalities) or a Category C Municipality (District<br />
Municipalities).<br />
Six Metropolitan Municipalities were created,<br />
namely the City of Cape Town Metropolitan<br />
Municipality in the Western Cape, the City of<br />
Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, Ekurhuleni<br />
Metropolitan Municipality and the City of<br />
Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in<br />
Gauteng, eThekwini Municipality in KwaZulu-<br />
Natal and Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in<br />
the Eastern Cape.<br />
Forty-seven District Municipalities were identified<br />
(<strong>Limpopo</strong> has five district municipalities,<br />
namely Capricorn District Municipality, Mopani<br />
District Municipality, Vhembe District Municipality,<br />
Waterberg District Municipality and Greater<br />
Sekhukhune District Municipality), as well as 230<br />
Local Municipalities (with 24 in <strong>Limpopo</strong>).<br />
In July 2008, the Municipal Demarcation<br />
Board proposed that Mangaung (Free State),<br />
Buffalo City (Eastern Cape) and Msunduzi<br />
(KwaZulu-Natal) municipalities change from<br />
Category B local municipalities to Category<br />
A metropolitan municipalities. Mangaung<br />
and Buffalo City were subsequently granted<br />
metropolitan status.<br />
