The largest municipality in South Africa, Dawid Kruiper

The amalgamation of the Mier Municipality in the Kalahari and Khara Hais in Upington has resulted in the formation of the largest municipality in the country. It is twice the size of Gauteng and is named after the Khomani San leader, Dawid Kruiper, who fought for the land rights of the San people. There are some reservations on the merger and concerns on service delivery. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news
