Ehlanzeni District Municipality

Ehlanzeni District Municipality is an administrative region in Mpumalanga province that covers a substantial area in eastern South Africa. It encompasses four local municipalities that together serve the population across this large territory.

The municipality was established in 2000 during South Africa's major administrative reform to reorganize local governance. This restructuring created new administrative boundaries to improve regional management across the area.

People here speak multiple languages in their daily lives, with Siswati, Tsonga, and Northern Sotho being most common. This linguistic diversity shapes how communities interact and connect across the district.

The region comprises four local administrative units, each covering different areas, with Mbombela serving as the main administrative hub. Visitors should be aware that services and conditions may vary across each municipality.

The area contains the southern portion of Kruger National Park within its northern boundaries, providing access to one of Africa's largest wildlife reserves. This feature makes the region a key anchor for conservation and ecotourism activities.
