Politics
{{main|Dr JS Moroka Local Municipality elections}}
The municipal council consists of sixty-two members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Thirty-one are elected by first-past-the-post voting in thirty-one wards, while the remaining thirty-one 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 majority of forty-three seats on the council.
The following table shows the results of the 2016 election.{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Detailed%20Results/MP/MP316.pdf |title=Results Summary – All Ballots: Dr JS Moroka |publisher=Independent Electoral Commission |accessdate=19 March 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Seat%20Calculation%20Detail/MP/MP316.pdf |title=Seat Calculation Detail: Dr JS Moroka |publisher=Independent Electoral Commission |accessdate=19 March 2017}}
