Cape Town Junior City Council 3.15

The Junior City Council (hereinafter referred to as the JCC) was established as a forum for high school learners (Grade 8 to 10) to broaden their knowledge of local government, with special reference to municipal matters, and also to understand the scope and extent of the functions performed by local authorities.

The composition of the JCC has been redesigned to more closely align the schools in each of the City’s 111 wards with governance and service delivery in Cape Town.

The JCC is not a political structure and participation by schools (state and independent high schools) in the City is voluntary
