Johannesburg's wards

The 135 wards the Municipal Demarcation Board drew for the local government election on 4 November 2026. Each ward's page lists its suburbs and what Johannesburg Water (JW) reported for the reservoirs and towers that supply them.

To go straight to a ward, type its number in the search box, for example “ward 117”. Not sure of your ward? Find your suburb below.

(part) means only part of the suburb lies in that ward, so the suburb is listed under each of its wards. We place a suburb in a ward by laying the Municipal Demarcation Board's ward boundaries over the City of Johannesburg's suburb map: a suburb is listed when at least a quarter of it lies in the ward, or when it makes up at least a tenth of the ward.
