The municipal council consists of eleven members elected by
mixed-member proportional representation. Six councillors are elected by
first-past-the-post voting in six
wards, while the remaining five 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 18 May 2011 the
African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of eight seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election. ==References==
