Overberg District Municipality

Overview

With its headquarters in Bredasdorp, the Overberg District Municipality is a category C municipality governing the four local municipalities of Cape Agulhas, Overstrand, Swellendam and Theewaterskloof.

The Overberg has always been considered as the breadbasket of the Cape and is largely given to grain farming, mainly wheat. The wheat fields are a major breeding ground for South Africa’s national bird, the Blue Crane.
