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 majority of fifty-four seats on the council.
The following table shows the results of the election.{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Detailed%20Results/NP/LIM476.pdf |title=Results Summary – All Ballots: Greater Tubatse/Fetakgomo |publisher=Independent Electoral Commission |accessdate=26 January 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Seat%20Calculation%20Detail/NP/LIM476.pdf |title=Seat Calculation Detail: Greater Tubatse/Fetakgomo |publisher=Independent Electoral Commission |accessdate=26 January 2017}}
