The municipal council consists of twenty-seven members elected by
mixed-member proportional representation. Fourteen councillors are elected by
first-past-the-post voting in fourteen
wards, while the remaining thirteen 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) lost its majority, obtaining a plurality of ten seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election. ==References==
