The municipal council consists of sixty-two members elected by
mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-one councillors are elected by
first-past-the-post voting in thirty-one
wards, while the remaining thirty-one 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-three seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election. ==References==
