Rows are grouped by municipality type and ordered by amount, largest first. Figures are not adjusted for population, so a higher amount does not mean better performance. Metros provide services across their areas. Local municipalities share some responsibilities with district municipalities. “Not available” means MapMyCity has no figure for this municipality, measure and year.
