The JB Marks Local Municipality, located within the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District in the North West Province, is a significant Category B municipality. Established in 2016 from the amalgamation of Ventersdorp Local Municipality and Tlokwe City Council, it is the largest of the three municipalities in the district, covering nearly half of its geographical area. Key transport routes, such as the N12 connecting Johannesburg and Cape Town and a major railway route, run through this municipality, with Potchefstroom serving as a central hub.
