The winds of change that swept across the whole country in 1994 also affected Waterberg
in more ways than one. As a result of that, it changed between 1994 and 2000 from being a
Bushveld Council Services to a being a district municipality. In terms of section of the
Municipal Structures Act, it was established as a Category C, in which case a Mayoral
Executive System was put in place. It comprises of six beautiful local municipalities
namely Mogalakwena, Lephalale, Bela- Bela, Modimolle, Thabazimbi and Mookgopong.
The Water Fountain, an English translation .is blessed by mother nature. It is a
collective name for Sand river mountains, Hoekby, Swaershoek and the Moepel range.. In
many ways, Waterberg is not a superb tourist destination but it is also a host of the
economic pillars of mining, tourism and agriculture in the Limpopo Province. It can be
deduced from this explanation that Waterberg is in the main rural.
