Proportional representation: each party’s total follows its share of the PR and ward votes; its ward winners count first and PR list members fill the rest.

Mayor, speaker and other office-bearers are not on the record yet

Okhahlamba’s office-bearers and PR councillors are not in the record yet. They appear once an authoritative source for them is captured and approved; none are inferred from party lists.

The ward seats today differ from the 2021 calculation: a ward can change hands at a by-election, and a ward with no listed councillor and no by-election in the record is left out of the count.

“Ward seats today”: the IEC’s list of current ward councillors and, for the 0 wards that list leaves out after a by-election, the candidate that by-election elected (the list omits by-election winners). Neither source dates when a councillor left office.
