Terekeka County is an administrative division of Central Equatoria in South Sudan.[1] It is the capital of surrounding Mundari and Boma counties. It lies on both the east and west bank of the White Nile north of Juba The word "Terekeka" is a combination of two words; "Tirgigi", a kind of hard shrub and "Terere" an open hard ground usually found in the middle of shrub trees. The local referral of "Terere i Tirgigi lukata" became shortened and distorted to create the current name, "Terekeka".
The current commissioner for Terekeka County is Warnyank Lukö Buyu who replaced James Lino Malou in a republican decree by President Salva Kiir in November 2022.[2]
