The Congress of the People has appointed its first mayor in the country. Jan Julies will oversee the Karoo Hoogland local council in the Northern Cape.

The council governs the towns of Fraserburg, Sutherland and Williston.

Cope won a 31-percent share of the vote in the recent local government elections, and has entered into a coalition agreement with the Democratic Alliance, which won 21-percent.
