With De Deur to the South and Eikenhof to the north comprise the greater Walkerville Area.

Situated in Gauteng, the smallest most densely populated province in South Africa. Walkerville is approximately 35kms south of Johannesburg and can be reached by both the "Old Vereeniging Highway" (via Mondeor, Kibler Park and Eikenhof) or from the R59, taking the Walkerville turnoff just after passing Kliprivier. Walkerville offers the peace and tranquility of rural living yet is a short drive from the hustle and bustle of the major conurbation that is Johannesburg.

A report shows that Midvaal has the highest satisfaction rating for any municipality in Gauteng. Midvaal is the only municipality in Gauteng whose residents express more confidence in municipal government than in the provincial and national governments, and the only municipality in Gauteng where more than half of all residents are either satisfied or very satisfied with local government.

This is extremely noteworthy, as municipal governance is the coalface of service delivery. Without well-functioning local governments, development efforts will collapse into service delivery protests, as we see daily across South Africa.

Of particular significance in this report is the fact that 68% of residents in Midvaal say they are either very satisfied or satisfied with the dwelling in which they reside. This is the highest percentage in the whole of Gauteng. Only 7% of residents say they are very dissatisfied with their dwelling

Unemployment in  Midvaal, at around 26%, is far below that of other municipalities (Tshwane, at second position, stands at around 40%). This reflects the municipality's ability to attract investment - by companies such as Heineken and Ferrero Rocher - which in turn creates employment for local residents.

Midvaal also registered the lowest rate of alienation of any municipality in Gauteng; fewer than one in five residents believe that "no one cares about people like me", and Midvaal has the highest proportion of residents who believe they can influence decisions around them.

Midvaal is located in the south of the Gauteng province in South Africa. It is close to the 3 dominant urban areas in Gauteng, namely Johannesburg, Tshwane and the East Rand Metropole. Although this relatively large area has a number of urban settlements, it is mostly rural, characterised by open spaces and farming activities. As a result it has a mix of formal and informal, as well as urban and rural settlements
