The municipal council consists of sixty members elected by
mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty councillors are elected by
first-past-the-post voting in thirty
wards, while the remaining thirty 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 3 August 2016 the
African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of forty-six seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election. ==References==
