Description: The Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB), (as mandated by section 155(3)(b) of the Constitution together with sections 4 and 21 of the Demarcation Act, 1998, which state that the MDB is responsible for the determination and redetermination of municipal boundaries), provided the updated municipality boundaries. The new structure consists of Category A municipalities, which are the metropolitan areas (Cat A or Metros), Category B or local municipalities (Cat B) and Category C municipalities or district councils (Cat C or DCs).Metropolitan areas are described as conurbations featuring high population density; intense movement of people, goods and services; extensive development; and multiple business and industrial districts. Other features include a complex and diverse economy, a single area where integrated development is desirable and strong interdependent social and economic linkages between its constituent units exist. According to the MDB, key considerations in re-determining local municipality boundaries included settlement type, the rationalisation of municipalities, manageable size and functionality. Local municipalities are the next spatial level above the main place. Publication Date: 1 July 2011
