Municipal Ward Boundaries

In South Africa, wards are geopolitical subdivisions of municipalities used for electoral purposes. Each metropolitan and local municipality is delimited by the Municipal Demarcation Board into half as many wards as there are seats on the municipal council (rounding up if there are an odd number of seats). After the 2011 local elections, there are 4,277 wards in South Africa. * Data was obtained from the Municipal Demarcation Board and Independent Electoral Commission (IEC).
