Politics
The first councillor was Fani Francis Sizimbo, a Democratic Turnhalle Alliance member, who was in office from 1992 to 1998. He was succeeded by Lichaba John Ndubano in 1998. Ndubano, a SWAPO member, managed to move the SWAPO office from Linyanti to Sangwali. He did not support secessionism, and as a result was not liked in secessionist dominated areas.
In 2004 Ndubano was voted out by Dorothy Kabula. The current councillor of Linyanti is Cletius Sipapela.
