This was after the ANC announced it had formed a coalition with the PA, the Karoo Gemeenskap Party and the Karoo Democratic Force for municipal governance in the Central Karoo. Meanwhile, the Prince Albert Municipal Council will sit today and the Beaufort West council tomorrow. The Western Cape had 12 hung councils during the local government elections with the PA emerging as the kingmakers in several district municipalities.
