Nokeng tsa Taemane Local Municipality was a local municipality in the Metsweding District of Gauteng in South Africa.
Due to years of financial mismanagement by the ANC-led council, the municipality was found to be no longer viable. Thus Nokeng tsa Taemane, along with the Metsweding District, was disestablished and absorbed into the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality on 18 May 2011, the date of the 2011 municipal election.
The name is in Sepedi and Sesotho, meaning "rivers of diamonds". The municipality was given the name because of the vast number of rivers and springs in the area and also the diamonds generated in Cullinan. South African Languages - Place names
