It also forms part of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another local municipality that forms part of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality is Gamagara, which is home to South Africa\u2019s highest earners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamagara is home to the popular mining town of Kathu, which is a mere 35 minutes from Kuruman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both towns are heavily influenced by the mining activity in the area, with Kathu near Kumba Iron Ore\u2019s flagship mine, Sishen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest data from the National Treasury and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) showed that&nbsp; Gamagara had an average taxable income of <a href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/finance\/804100\/the-tiny-municipality-in-south-africa-where-people-earn-more-than-r500000-a-year\/\">R518,808.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is far ahead of second place, which was the City of Johannesburg, which has an average taxable income of R484,671.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time Gamagara\u2019s dominance has been highlighted, as the municipality also saw the highest per capita spending in <a href=\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/finance\/781752\/the-tiny-municipality-in-south-africa-that-spends-r23000-on-each-resident\/\">2016 and 2022<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stats SA previously noted that the areas&#8217; mining activities attract skilled workers and high-income workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The municipality is also relatively self-sufficient, with every R100 spent on residents seeing R90 coming from the city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Northern Cape is South Africa\u2019s least populated province, it has several areas that make up the nation\u2019s highest earners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another area close to the Segonyana local municipality is the Joe Morolong Local Municipality, which is also part of the John Taolo Gaetsewe District Municipality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Morolong\u2019s average taxable income stood at R427,977, making it the fourth-highest earning area in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
