The municipal council consisted of twenty-six members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirteen councillors were elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirteen wards, while the remaining thirteen were chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives was proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 18 May 2011 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of twenty-three seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election.[5][6]
