Abstract:
The Elias Motsoaledi Local Municipality (EMLM), formerly known as the Greater Groblersdal Local Municipality, is located in the Sekhukhune District Municipality of Limpopo Province. The seat of EMLM is located in Groblersdal. EMLM was established in 2000 as a category B municipality as prescribed by the Municipal Structures Act (No. 117 of 1998) and has a collective executive system guided by section 2(a) of the Northern Province Determination of Types of Municipalities Act (2000). The municipality was named after the anti-apartheid activist Elias Motsoaledi, who was one of eight men (the Rivonia trialists) sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island with former president Nelson Mandela in July 1963 (ANC, n.d.).
