The Chris Hani District Municipality (Xhosa: uMasipala weSithili sase Chris Hani) is a landlocked district municipality situated in the centre of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa and is made up of eight local municipalities. Most of the communities are in rural areas.[4] The landscape ranges from moist uplands and grassland hills to the arid Karoo scrubland.[5]

In 2016, the region reported a population of 840 000 people, accounting for 1.5% of South Africa's total population and 12% of the Eastern Cape's total population.[6] Most of the district municipality's employment is based on unskilled labour.[5]
