Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality

Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality is an administrative division in North West Province that oversees several local municipalities across a sprawling region. Klerksdorp serves as the main administrative hub from which municipal operations and governance are coordinated.

The area underwent administrative restructuring in 2016 when local municipalities were reorganized to improve governance. This reshaping created the current municipal structure that manages the district's affairs today.

The district population of 742,821 residents maintains strong Setswana language traditions, which reflects through local administrative communications and community gatherings.

Administrative services are available at multiple locations across the district's towns and communities. Visitors should contact local municipal offices directly to learn about specific services and operating hours.

The district stands at an elevation of 1,362 meters above sea level, incorporating three distinct local municipalities that manage specific regional development programs.
