It is the smallest of three municipalities in the district, making up a third of its geographical area. It was established by the amalgamation of the Randfontein and Westonaria Local Municipalities in August 2016.
The municipality is characterised by dispersed urban structures consisting of various urban areas and mining villages spread across the entire municipal area.
