Municipal elections are held every five years,Section 159 in Chapter 7 https://web.archive.org/web/20110105012619/http://www.info.gov.za/documents/constitution/1996/96cons7.htm 5 January 2011 of the Constitution of South Africa. A municipal council's term expires after 5 years, but the council continue with its functions until the election of a new council, which must be held within 90 days of the expiry of the council's term. and the previous municipal elections were held in 2006. The first municipal elections following the reorganisation of municipalities took place in December 2000. Half of the seats (rounded up for odd numbers) in each municipality are elected on the first past the post system in single member wards. The other half of the seats are allocated to restore proportionality as follows: The total number of seats are allocated using the largest remainder method by using a modified Hare quota. Proportional seats are allocated based on the difference. Overhang seats are theoretically possible. These do not affect the quota but will reduce the number of remainder seats if any. Independent candidates are allowed for in the ward seats, and the proportionality calculations effectively ignore votes for these candidates and are adjusted for seats allocated to them.Schedule 1 to the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, No. 117 of 1998, as amended. Background thumb|upright|Election campaign poster for the Democratic Alliance The ruling party of South Africa, the African National Congress (ANC), has been facing a growing opposition from the Democratic Alliance (DA). The DA holds control of the Western Cape area, with Cape Town the major city of the province. The DA had made it known that there was a possibility of victory in the Northern Cape province.http://fromtheold.com/south-african-municipal-election-2011 South African municipal election, 2011 2 February 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20101117165153/http://fromtheold.com/south-african-municipal-election-2011 17 November 2010 dead The ANC faced tough challenges from the opposition parties over issues of service delivery, corruption, healthcare reform, poverty and unemployment rates. The Congress of the People (COPE) (a breakaway party formed from within the ANC) and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) were determined to prove that they could increase their control in areas as well. Various other parties were expected to contest the elections as well; however, based on previous elections and expected changes since then, they are expected to hold a minority power relative to the ANC, DA, Cope and IFP parties respectively. The election was generally peaceful, with the exception of an attack on an IFP councilor that resulted in his death.IFP councillor dies after alleged assault Cities Former DA leader Helen Zille attempted to improve her party's success at multi-party governance in Cape Town and also bring the ANC's support under 50% in other major cities. Initial reports suggested that Port Elizabeth was the most vulnerable for the ANC, with Pretoria, Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni and almost all municipalities in the Northern Cape facing stiff challenges from the DA and COPE. Port Elizabeth lies in a unique region roughly at the border between the Black and Coloured (i.e. mixed raced) population groups. It was predicted that there would be a strong effort from minorities in the city to try to gain control of the council. Although the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality is over 60% black, the DA hoped that by using COPE and the United Democratic Movement, the vote for the ANC could have possibly been lowered under 50% (i.e. minority power) enabling the DA to form a coalition with smaller parties and assume governance of the area. The Nelson Mandela Bay municipality was heavily contested in the elections with the ANC managing to secure 63 seats to the DA's 48 seats. Zille attributed the failure of the DA to win the metro to the decline of COPE, claiming that the latter's retention of votes could have unseated the ANC allowing a coalition government in the metro.ANC wins Nelson Mandela Bay http://www.timeslive.co.za/Politics/article1075875.ece/ANC-wins-Nelson-Mandela-Bay 21 May 2011 Times Live 19 May 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110522041345/http://www.timeslive.co.za/Politics/article1075875.ece/ANC-wins-Nelson-Mandela-Bay 22 May 2011 dead Election boycott The Poor People's Alliance called for a boycott of the election under the slogan No Land!
