Abstract:
The local (Category B) municipalities are municipalities that are contained within a district (Category C) municipalities. The Metropolitan (Category A) Municipalities are municipalities with the major cities as the core (e.g. City of Johannesburg) and they are outside the District Municipalities. When the boundaries of local municipalities change and affect the boundary of district municipalities, the new district municipal boundary is generated. In the Local Municipalities 2018 shapefile there are 205Local Municipalities and 8 Metropolitan Municipalities. Note that Metropolitan Municipalities are included in the Local Municipalities shapefile to ensure that the layer is continuous throughout the country. If the Metropolitan Municipalities were left out, there will be void spaces in the layer. The topology of the features has been checked to eliminate duplications of vertices and ensure the integrity of the feature geometry. The projection of the feature class is Geographic (Lat/Lon)and if one has to calculate the area of features, it must be transformed to UTM Projection and metres be used as units of measurements.
-
Purpose: Local Municipalities 2018 is a shapefile and attributes information of all the local municipalities in South Africa. In the hierarchy of local government structure, the Local Municipalities are contained within District Municipalities. Local Municipalities 2018 was published in the Year 2018 after there were minor technical adjustments on the municipal boundaries.

Limitations of use: MDB releases the municipal and ward boundary data in the public domain, i.e. for public use with only limited restrictions to ensure that the data is not misused.The user of municipal and ward boundary data shall not sell the data to third parties or appropriate it for commercial use.The user of municipal and boundary data may use it in research, publications, value-added products such as applications, but the user must recognise and acknowledge the MDB as the producer and custodian of these data.The user of municipal and boundary data shall not change the original dataset and pass it on to third parties as the product of the MDB.If there is any fault with the data from MDB, the user is expected to bring it to the attention of MDB – as it is prescribed in the Spatial Data Infrastructure Act 54 of 2003 – so that the quality and integrity of the data can be improved.
