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