Politics

The municipal council consists of twenty-five members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirteen councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirteen wards, while the remaining twelve 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 18 May 2011 no party obtained a majority; the African National Congress won twelve seats, the National Freedom Party seven, and the Inkatha Freedom Party five. The ANC and NFP formed a coalition to govern the municipality. The following table shows the results of the election.[3][4]
