Provincial Administration.

(ii) Certain urban areas are situated in more than one magisterialdistrict.
See Anonymous (1991 - above) for further details. Some large black
urban areas have been divided into two or more separate
administrative units, often controlled by different authorities. One
example is Klaarwater.
(iii) Major (proclaimed) urban towns formerly administered by the
Department of Development Aid and now administered by the
Community Services Branch, Natal Provincial Administration include
Clermont, the Edendale Complex (Ashdown, Edendale, Edendale East
and Imbali), Inanda-Newtown, KwaDabeka and Ohlange (with the
exception of the Edendale Complex - all in the Durban Functional
Region); and Nondweni in the environs of Nqutu. (All the towns are
partly or fully situated on former South African Development Trust
land). Clermont, Edendale and KwaDabeka are now mainly in Natal,
while Inanda-Newtown and Ohlange are both in the KwaZulu district
of Ntuzuma. Nondweni is in the KwaZulu district of Nquthu.
(iv) Over 300 informal settlements are found in Natal/KwaZulu. The
situation is highly complex and data are not readily available*. The
above table is therefore incomplete. In terms of the provision of
services, all black urban areas of a given size situated outside
KwaZulu, are under the ultimate control of the Community Services
Branch, the Development and Services Board, or an adjacent white
local authority (the only instance of the latter is Greater Klaarwater ­
including St Wendolins - controlled by the Pinetown Municipality).
Note: The Department of National Health and Population
Development does not provide "hard services", except for clinics
(see the discussion later in this section).
