Its municipality code is WC033. It is named after Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa. The largest town is Bredasdorp, which is the seat of the municipal headquarters. It also includes the villages of Napier, Struisbaai, Elim, Arniston and L'Agulhas, and the De Hoop Nature Reserve. GeographyThe municipality covers an area of {{convert|3467|km2}} in the Southern Overberg, covering a radius of 30 to 40 kilometres (20 to 25 mi) around Bredasdorp as well as a panhandle extending east to include the De Hoop Nature Reserve. A range of hills runs east–west through the municipality with a gap at Bredasdorp. South of these hills is the low and flat Agulhas plain. The municipality abuts on the Overstrand Municipality to the west, the Theewaterskloof Municipality to the northwest and the Swellendam Municipality to the north. According to the 2011 census the municipality has a population of 33,038 people in 10,162 households. Of this population, 65.6% describe themselves as "Coloured", 21.6% as "White", and 11.5% as "Black African". The first language of 84.4% of the population is Afrikaans, while 6.0% speak Xhosa and 5.6% speak English.[1] The principal town and location of the municipal headquarters is Bredasdorp, which as of 2011 has a population of 15,524. Napier (pop. 4,214) is situated {{convert|15|km|0}} northwest of Bredasdorp. South of Bredasdorp on the coast around Cape Agulhas are Struisbaai (pop. 3,877), L'Agulhas (pop. 548) and Suiderstrand (pop. 44). Arniston (pop. 1,267) is further east along the coast. The former mission station of Elim (pop. 1,412) is situated west of Bredasdorp. PoliticsThe municipal council consists of eleven members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Six councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in six 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 3 August 2016, the Democratic Alliance (DA) won a majority of seats on the council, defeating an ANC-lead coalition that previously had controlled the council. Paul Swart of the DA subsequently was elected as mayor.[2] The following table shows the results of the 2016 election.[3][4][5]
The local council sends two representatives to the council of the Overberg District Municipality: one from the Democratic Alliance and one from the African National Congress.[6] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://census2011.adrianfrith.com/place/173 |title=Cape Agulhas Local Municipality |work=Census 2011}} 2. ^http://www.capeagulhas.org/executive-mayor 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Detailed%20Results/WP/WC033.pdf |title=Results Summary – All Ballots: Cape Agulhas |publisher=Independent Electoral Commission |accessdate=23 August 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Seat%20Calculation%20Detail/WP/WC033.pdf |title=Seat Calculation Detail: Cape Agulhas |publisher=Independent Electoral Commission |accessdate=23 August 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.elections.org.za/content/LGEPublicReports/402/Voter%20Turnout/WP/WC033.pdf |title=Voter Turnout Report: Cape Agulhas |publisher=Electoral Commission |accessdate=4 June 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.westerncape.gov.za/sites/www.westerncape.gov.za/files/political_composition_march_2017_0.pdf |title=Political composition of councils February 2017 |date=February 2017 |publisher=Western Cape Department of Local Government |accessdate=4 June 2017}} External links
