BackgroundThe City of Tshwane (covering Pretoria) in South Africa is the single-largest metropolitan municipality in the country, comprising seven regions, 107 wards and 210 councillors. Wards are delimited by the Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB).[3] This entails the division of the whole geographic area of a municipality into smaller geographic areas, called wards. Schedule 1 to the Structures Act, 1998 provides for certain procedures and criteria to which the MDB must comply. The MDB must, amongst others, ensure that all wards in a municipality have approximately the same number of voters. The number of registered voters in each ward, may not vary by more than 15% from the norm (average). Thus there may not be a correlation between wards, neighborhoods, areas and suburbs. The seven regions are: Region 1 – Soshanguve, Mabopane, Winterveld, Ga-Rankuwa and Pretoria North Region 2 - Wonderboom, Sinoville, Montana, Temba, Hammanskraal Region 3 – Pretoria CBD, Brooklyn, Hatfield and Pretoria West Region 4 - Centurion, Irene and surrounding areas Region 5 - Rayton, Roodeplaat, Cullinan Region 6 – Pretoria East, Eersterust, Mamelodi, Shere Region 7 - Bronkhorstspruit and surrounding areas Pretoria East
