After the regional elections in December 2000, smaller self-government units were amalgamated here.

In this way, a cross-boundary community was created, which simultaneously extended to the territories of the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga . After the regional elections in 2006, the entire local parish area was incorporated into the Mpumalanga Province. It was not until January 21, 2010, at the initiative of the Department of Local Government and Housing of the Limpopo Provincial Administration, that Greater Marble Hall Local Municipality was renamed Ephraim Mogale Local Municipality .
