List of municipalities in South Africa
This is a list of municipalities of South Africa. Refer to the main page for an explanation of how these are classified, and their inter-relationships.
Largest municipalities
In 2007, there were 6 municipalities with more than 1 million inhabitants,[1] and 8 with between 500,000 and 1 million inhabitants (in 2001 there were 6). Municipalities in the list may include several towns. Some of them consist of hundreds of tiny settlements in very close proximity to each other. This is particularly true of municipalities made up of former Bantustans, e.g. KaNgwane and QwaQwa, and Libode in Transkei, where distributed, non-Western settlement models are practised.
