Cape Town, or the Mother City, is South Africa’s oldest city, its second-most populous and the legislative capital. It is made up of a diverse population, a rich history, world-famous tourist attractions and an exciting calendar of international and local events. More than 231 councillors and 26 225 staff serve 4 million residents across a sprawling and cosmopolitan metro of 2 500 square kilometres. The City provides all the services normally associated with a full-service municipality, such as water, electricity, waste removal, sanitation, new infrastructure, roads, public spaces, facilities, housing developments, the upgrade of informal settlements and existing infrastructure, clinics and more. To meet the current and future needs of its residents, the City of Cape Town has formulated strategies and policies to guide development and growth. Central to these is the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), which is a five-year plan that informs the City’s policy and budget decisions. The City’s strong sense of community makes it one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. We offer rewarding career opportunities, great benefits and competitive salaries.

Spread over 15.6% of Gauteng’s land, it houses 5.4% of the country’s population and 29% of Gauteng province’s population.

The choice of a Tsonga word for the name of the metropolitan municipality is symbolic of the diversity of the new city, and of its vision of an equitable and progressive community. In 2013, the City of Ekurhuleni adopted its Growth and Development Strategy 2055. This GDS 2055 gave the City structure and vision for the years ahead.
