Polokwane Local Municipality

Tucked between the Waterberg and Soutpansberg ranges on South Africa’s interior plateau, Polokwane Local Municipality is a place whose character is shaped by its elevated, summer-rainfall setting. The municipality centres on Polokwane, Limpopo’s provincial capital, where broad streets and civic institutions make it an important administrative and commercial hub for the northern interior. The city was established as Pietersburg in 1886 and officially took the name Polokwane in 2003; the Northern Sotho name means “place of safety.” Beyond the urban core, the municipality extends across grassland, farmland and bushveld.
