The term municipality is also used to mean the governing, ruling body of a municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The term is derived from French "municipalité" and Latin "municipalis".
The English word "Municipality" derives from the Latin social contract "municipium", meaning duty holders, referring to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy).
A municipality can be any political jurisdiction from a sovereign state, such as the Principality of Monaco, or a small village, such as West Hampton Dunes, New York.

With local elections over, coalitions formed, and new municipalities taking over, the African Christian Democratic Party has joined several other parties in forming coalitions for new municipalities. This is however in stark contrast to their pre-2011 position that such previous coalitions had resulted in smaller parties being swallowed up by the larger ones.The ACDP expressed satisfaction after retaining its support base in the City of Cape Town following the local elections, and securing three seats in the metro council. It's the same number it got after the 2011 municipal elections. This time the ACDP garnered 1.21% of the vote, only 1% less than five years ago. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news
