Emfuleni Municipality (Sotho: Masepala wa Emfuleni; Zulu: UMasipala wase Mfuleni; Afrikaans: Emfuleni Munisipaliteit) is a local municipality within the Sedibeng District Municipality, in the Gauteng province of South Africa. It is the westernmost local municipality in the district, and covers an area of 987 km2 at the heart of the Vaal Triangle.[3] It is located in the former industrial heartland of Gauteng which created employment and wealth for Sebokeng, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging, Three Rivers and Sharpeville.[4] Its head offices are located at the corner of Klasie Havenga St and Frikkie Meyer Blvd, Vanderbijlpark.[5] The municipality was founded in 1999.
Emfuleni has been experiencing a financial crisis since 2018,[4] and as of 2020 is considered a "broken" municipality which has lost the ability to rectify or recover from its many failed enterprises.[6] It has been plagued by service delivery protests,[7] and in 2020 its residents started a #EmfuleniMustFall campaign on social media due to its inconsistent or completely lacking waste removal, collapse of the electricity distribution network, ineffective provision of water and sanitation and its failure to maintain its road infrastructure.[8][9] Jacob Khawe replaced Simon Mofokeng as mayor in 2018 and acknowledged wasteful practices. He declared his commitment to a turnaround,[7] but resigned six months later when the municipality was placed under semi-administration.[10][11] Lucky Leaseane replaced Oupa Nkoane as municipal manager in February 2020, but was dismissed in September 2020.[12]
