Politics

The municipal council consists of seventeen members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Nine councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in nine wards, while the remaining eight 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 no party obtained a majority on the council; the African National Congress (ANC) and the Khoisan Revolution formed a coalition to govern the municipality.[5] The following table shows the results of the election.[6][7]
