BACKGROUND • Post the LG Elections that were held on 3 August 2016, the Department of Cooperative Governance (“DCoG”) engaged with Provinces with the view to developing a database of all municipalities. • Not all municipalities were able to submit all the required information – Provinces are in the process of supporting municipalities with various establishment processes, such as: • The holding of the first council meetings; • Dealing with challenges in “hung councils”; • Supporting the process of electing appointed councillors to district councils; and • Work undertaken by Provinces and Municipalities with regards to preparing for the Integrated Councillor Induction Programme. 3. The database will be updated as further information is received from Provinces and Municipalities.
