Msinga Municipality in Kwazulu Natal Was Established in December 2000
Msinga is composed of six Traditional Authority areas, namely, Qamu, Mchunu, Bomvu, Ngome, Mabaso and Mthembu.
The Municipality is in the central part of the District Council area, sharing boundaries with Nkandla to the east, Umvoti to the south and uThukela District to the south-west.
The deadlock with traditional leadership is a tough challenge for the new municipality, and needs to be resolved nationally in terms of powers and functions.

The municipal area is accessible via the R33, linking it with Dundee, Ladysmith, Pietermaritzburg, Kranskop and Weenen. The community access roads require attention.

Towns within the municipal boundaries: Elandskraal, Helpmekaar, Keate’s Drift, Pomeroy, Rorke’s Drift, Tugela Ferry
