Politics
The municipal council consists of seventy-seven members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-nine councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-nine wards, while the remaining thirty-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 the African National Congress (ANC) won a plurality of thirty-eight seats on the council but failed to win an overall majority. The Democratic Alliance subsequently formed a government with the support of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Freedom Front Plus, and the Inkatha Freedom Party. Lynn Pannall of the DA was elected as executive mayor. She later resigned due to ill health and Michael Holenstein, also from the DA, was elected mayor. The following table shows the results of the election.
