Politics & Leadership
The municipal council consists of seventeen members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Nine councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in nine wards, while the remaining 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 1 November 2021 the African National Congress (ANC) won a majority of nine seats on the council.
Much like any other municipality, Victor Khanye Local Municipality consists of two leadership structures; the political and administrative leadership.
The political head of the institution is the Honourable Executive Mayor Cllr. KV Buda, while the administrative head is Mr. TM Mashabela, who serves as the Municipal Manager.
