Jozini Municipality (Zulu: UMasipala wase Jozini) is a local municipality within the Umkhanyakude District Municipality, in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. Significant portions of the municipality have been neglected in terms of economic development. There is a great disparity between the level of service and infrastructure provision between settlement nodes, such as the towns of Mkuze and Jozini, and the surrounding rural areas. Most of the rural area is associated with a lack of development, poverty and poor service provision.[3]
