The Richtersveld Local Municipality is in the Namakwa District of the Northern Cape Province. The Richtersveld is a unique landscape surrounded by a variety of contrasts. It is a conservation area. Rainfall is minimal and water is a scarce commodity, yet the vast plains, which are considered a special place by some, are still a very beautiful region with unique characteristics that attract thousands of tourists. In Port Nolloth there is the ocean, at Alexander Bay there is the Orange River, and at Lekkersing, Eksteenfontein, Kuboes and Sanddrift we offer a rich culture of diversity. Handover of Alexander Bay to Richtersveld Municipality in process. Vision and Mission Statement of Richtersveld Municipality:The strategic intent of Council over the next few years will be to enhance municipal service delivery and growth and development offerings.
