Ekurhuleni publishes zoning through the City of Ekurhuleni online GIS - the municipal GIS viewer and map viewer people search for by both names. Zoning is administered under the consolidated Ekurhuleni Town-Planning Scheme, 2014, and the Municipal Planning By-Law.
If your use is not allowed by the underlying zoning, Landlodz lodges consent use, departure or rezoning applications across all of Ekurhuleni's customer care areas.

It is correct for the underlying zoning but does not always reflect recent rezonings - always confirm with a signed certificate before lodging an application.
