The Sakhisizwe Local Municipality council (within the South African Chris Hani District Municipality) 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 thirteen seats.
