The Dipaleseng Local Municipality is a Category B municipality situated in the Gert Sibande District in the Mpumalanga Province. It is bordered by Lekwa and Govan Mbeki to the east, the Free State Province to the south, and the Gauteng Province to the west. It is the smallest of seven municipalities in the district. 

Balfour is the seat of the municipality and is its major town. It is situated approximately 80 km south-east of Johannesburg.

Whilst Balfour made recent headlines when Jacob Zuma visited the town in the midst of service delivery protests from locals in the Siyathemba township, and his subsequent return in May 2010, Johannesburg residents know the town because it lies plum in the middle of one of the closest areas for weekend breakaways. Located south east of Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, just off the R23 that leaves the N3 north of Heidelberg and heads into the province of Mpumalanga, Balfour nestles in a region given over mostly to farms, game farms and bushveld.

Having been established 20 years ago, the Barnyard Theatre family is no stranger to hosting some of the best local bands, comedians and performers.

Johannesburg’s Civic Theatre was built by the then city council in 1962, creating a high-profile landmark on the top of the Braamfontein hill.

Bishopscourt, Cape Town, was a prime example of the Group Areas Act's cruel impact, where non-white families (the Protea Village community) were forcibly removed between the 1950s-70s to create a "whites-only" area, leading to long struggles for land restitution, with construction finally starting in 2025 for the descendants to return to their ancestral land after decades of legal battles.
