Politics

{{main|Mpofana Local Municipality elections}}

The municipal council consists of ten members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Five councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in five wards, while the remaining five 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 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of seven seats on the council.

The following table shows the results of the election.{{Cite web |title=Election Result Table for LGE2021 — Mpofana |url=https://wikitable.frith.dev/lge2021/KZN223 |access-date=2021-11-28 |website=wikitable.frith.dev}}
