Randfontein Local Municipality was a local municipality in West Rand District Municipality, Gauteng, in South Africa. After municipal elections on 3 August 2016, it was merged with the Westonaria Local Municipality to form the larger Rand West City Local Municipality.

Randfontein Local Municipality is characterized by high levels of unemployment, poverty, major crime, and low levels of education and income. Nonetheless, it has become the migration destination for many South Africans seeking a better quality of life in Gauteng. [3]
