Welcome to

Gamagara Local Municipality

Comprises of an area of 2619 square kilometres, and is located in the North Eastern sector of the Northern Cape, on the N14 National Road between Upington and Vryburg.

It is approximately 200km North East of Upington and 280km North West of Kimberley. The municipal area of Gamagara consists of 5 towns, Kathu, Shesheng, Dibeng, Dingleton, and Olifantshoek, a large farming area and a considerable mining area.

The single largest factor that has guided the development of the Gamagara area is the iron ore mine at Sishen. Not only does the mine provide jobs to thousands of people, but it was also the reason for the establishment of the town of Kathu.

We are located in South Africa’s largest province and a must-see destination.
