Matatiele Local Municipality (EC144) was established on 1 March 2006. The Municipal area has undergone a number of amendments in terms of provincial municipal and ward demarcation which have had a profound impact on planning in the area.

From 1 March 2006, a new Matatiele Local Municipality was established which was incorporated into the Alfred Nzo District of the Eastern Cape. The newly established Matatiele Local Municipality includes the towns of Matatiele, Cedarville and the magisterial district of Maluti which formerly fell under the Umzimvubu Municipality and a rural district management area which formerly fell under the jurisdiction of the Alfred Nzo District Municipality.
