Description
Sedibeng District Municipality is an administrative region in Gauteng province comprising three local municipalities: Emfuleni, Midvaal, and Lesedi, with Vereeniging serving as the administrative center. The territory encompasses connected urban areas, rural zones, and industrial regions with distinct characteristics and development patterns.
History
Sedibeng District Municipality was established on 5 December 2000 as an administrative entity following South Africa's municipal reorganization. This creation emerged from the country's broader transformation after 1994, establishing a new governance framework for coordinated service delivery across the region.
