, Johannesburg Municipality Region A: Ivory Park
The Johannesburg Municipality is a metropolitan municipality, it executes all local functions and in the
city of Johannesburg. Ivory Park is a densely populated township founded in the early 90s. I chose Ivory
Park for my case study because it is often identified as an informal settlement, yet it is a township with
vibrant residents from different cultures, with a sense of togetherness. Ivory Park has come a long way
in terms of service provision since it was founded in the early 1990sand still has a long way to go to
improve service provision. This residential area is home to a police station, two libraries, five clinics, a
shopping complex, and two community.
Johannesburg is a capital city of the Gauteng province, located in the highlands of South Africa known as
the Highveld. It is situated south of the Witwatersrand, and the terrain falls of the north and south.
