The Junior City Council of Gqeberha is a non-profit organization made up of the representatives of all interested high schools in Gqeberha. Ryan Hol, a past pupil of D.F. Malherbe High School, was elected as the mayor of the Junior City Council in 2022. This was an exceptional achievement for both Ryan and our school.

The JCC provides learners with the opportunity to work with other councillors from various schools within Gqeberha in making a difference in our city. There are five portfolios that they are able to contribute towards, namely; youth development, environmental, fundraising, public relations, and community service. This is so much more than just community work; these projects impact the society at large.

Representatives are made up of a senior councillor and junior councillor who represent the school.
