The former Motheo District and Mangaung Local Municipalities were disestablished following the 2011 local government elections. The Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality became the first metropolitan municipality of the Free State province and is also the capital city of the Free State province. Being the sixth largest city in the country, the Mangaung municipal area covers more than 6 263km2 and hosts a population of about 850 000 people.

The Mangaung area is where the roots of the African National Congress as liberation movement are whilst it was also the founding place of the former National Party. Its rich culture and history, which combine comfortably with the dynamic urban life of a metropolis, is at the heart of its tourism potential. Diversity extends from vibrant sport and cultural events to the tranquility of its parks, the Bloemfontein Zoo and the reserve on Naval Hill.
