The municipality is the second-largest of the six municipalities in the district, making up a quarter of its geographical area. After the Section 12 notice was placed on 25 October 2021, the municipality now has a collective executive system with a ward participatory system.
The council has 11 seats and 4 political parties represented. The ANC is a leading party with 5 seats but falls short of the requisite 6 to govern alone. Following the by elections held on 4th December 2024, the ANC has the outright majority and this municipality is no longer under coalition government.
The council was constituted on November 2021 with changes.
