Local government is enshrined in the constitution and the main governing legislation is the Urban Government Act 1969. Responsibility for local government rests with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and there are 12 municipalities and 55 rural councils called tinkundla. The municipalities hold revenue-raising and budget-setting powers whilst the tinkundla do not. Local government responsibilities include town planning, water and sanitation, waste management and environmental protection.
