6.1.2 Midvaal The MidvaalLocalMunicipality’s jurisdiction occupies an area of approximately 1 780 km². Meyerton is the main centre (node) and developed around a Central Business District. Surrounding (mostly rural) residential tow nships include Blue Saddle Ranches, Cooperville, De Deur, Eye-of-Africa, Gardenvale, Henley-on-Klip, Highbury, Klipriviersdorp, Klipw ater, Kookfontein, Lakeside, Ohenimuri, Risiville, Riversdal, Rothdene, Tedderfield, Vaal Marina, Walkerville and Witkop. There are also several informal settlements in the Midvaal area, w ith various initiatives in place to address the formalisation and upgrading of these settlements. These include Bantu Bonke, Boltonw old, Driefontein, Everite/Riverglen, Keytersrust, Mamello, Peals Farm, Uitgevallen, Sicelo and others. The Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve is situated in the north-east, and bordered by the LesediLocalMunicipality. Reside`ntial densities decline from the CBD outw ards, w ith the low-income residential areas being situated on the periphery of the tow ns. These residential settlements then extend into agricultural holdings and farms. Rural residential land use occurs in the form of farmhouses and houses on agricultural holdings. The location of major employment opportunities are to the north of Midvaal, particularly tow ards Johannesburg and the East Rand. This results in strong north/south movement patterns as w ell as increased residential densities to the north. The social and economic activities are concentrated within the urban areas, w ith little access to such facilities w ithin the rural areas. According to DBSA (2007), the total population for MidvaalLocalMunicipality is 75 857 people (8.8% of Sedibeng DM’s population). 6.1.3 Lesedi LesediLocalMunicipality is the eastern-most LocalMunicipality in the Sedibeng district. It covers an area of ±1 430 km², w hich is largely rural. The municipality has tw o main tow n centres (nodes), namely Heidelberg/Ratanda in the w est, and Devon/Impumelelo on its eastern edge. The area can be described as mostly agricultural, w ith Heidelberg and Devon being the primary service centres for the surrounding agricultural areas. The Vischkuil/Endicott area east of Springs abutting Provincial Route R29 is a s maller rural centre. JamesonPark is an isolated residential area abutting the R42 provincial road betw een Heidelberg and Nigel. As far as its sub-regional context is concerned, Lesedi is situated approximately 56k m southeast of Johannesburg and is traversed by tw o national roads, namely the N17 and the N3, w hich create future economic development potential. According to DBSA (2007), the total population for LesediLocalMunicipality is 75 795 people (8.8% of Sedibeng DM’s population). Approximately 70.7% of the total population of Lesedi resides in the urban areas of Heidelberg/Ratanda and Devon/Impumelelo, w hile the remaining 29.3% resides w ithin the rural areas.
