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