}}Midvaal Local Municipality is an administrative area within the Sedibeng District Municipality of Gauteng in South Africa. The municipality's name references its geographical location halfway between Johannesburg and East Rand and the Vaal and Vereeniging areas.[2]

Midvaal Local Municipality [3] led by Executive Mayor Cllr. Bongani Baloyi has been coined the fastest growing municipality in Gauteng due to its rapid economic growth. Midvaal has undergone a radical change from quaint country area to booming tourist, recreational and industrial centre in Southern Gauteng. Midvaal has grown from 60 000 residents in 2001 to 100 000 today. A report by Gauteng’s Provincial Government ranked Midvaal as the province's top municipality in terms of quality of life.[4] In December 2010 Midvaal was ranked 23rd out of 231 municipalities.[5] This shows that Midvaal is within the top 10% of high scoring local municipalities in South Africa.

Midvaal’s name has become more prominent with the establishment of the Oprah Winfrey School located in the area. In addition to this one of golf's most successful and recognisable stars Greg Norman coined “the Great White Shark” invested huge amounts of money into the Eye of Africa Golfing Estate development for which he designed the golf course. The municipality’s major achievement has been attracting Sedibeng Breweries, South Africa’s distributors of Heineken into the area. The brewery has set up its national offices along Midvaal R59 freeway/ corridor and has brought with it new opportunities for job creation and small businesses.

Politics

The municipal council consists of twenty-nine members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Fifteen councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in fifteen wards, while the remaining fourteen are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 3 August 2016 the Democratic Alliance (DA) won a majority of seventeen seats on the council.

The following table shows the results of the election.[6][7]
