The municipal council consists of thirty-two members elected by
mixed-member proportional representation. Sixteen councillors are elected by
first-past-the-post voting in sixteen
wards, while the remaining sixteen are chosen from
party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the
election of 1 November 2021, the
African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of nineteen seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election. ==Sports==
