Sedibeng’s Wards At A Glance
The Sedibeng District Municipality is made up of three local municipalities: Emfuleni (45 wards), Midvaal (15 wards) and Lesedi (13 wards). Ward numbers are the same as in 2021, although several boundaries have been adjusted.
Because Sedibeng is a district, residents elect councillors to two councils: their local municipality and the Sedibeng District Municipality. That is why Sedibeng voters receive three ballots, while metro voters receive two.
How To Read The Ward Tables
- Main areas covered: suburbs, townships and extensions that fall mostly or entirely inside the ward, using Stats SA’s official place names. “(part)” means only part of that area is in the ward, so neighbours in the same suburb may vote in different wards. Newer developments built after 2011 may not be named, so confirm with the IEC.
- AH stands for agricultural holdings, and “Ext” for extension.
- Boundary since 2021: compares the 2026 ward with the ward of the same number used in 2021. “Same” means the boundary is effectively unchanged, “Minor changes” means small adjustments, and “Redrawn” means the ward now covers a noticeably different area. Where a ward was redrawn, we show which old ward or wards most of it came from.
- The area lists are a guide for residents. They are not an official IEC record.
