Eastern Cape’s center consists of many indigenous Xhosa people who were history’s first ‘residents’ of the province
Raymond Mhlaba was the first premier of the province, and the current premier is Oscar Mabuyane, both being members of the ANC (African National Congress.) Parliament and all congress relating to the province are conducted at the capital, Bisho, with the High Court located in Grahamstown.

The province holds a lot of fertile land for the country, and thus, relies on the importance of agriculture. The Eastern Cape has grounds for rich fruit orchards, sheep farming in the Karoo, dairy products, coffee, tea, and chicory. Owing to the province’s dependence heavily on agriculture and farming, many residents of the Eastern Cape are dependant on maize, cattle, and sorghum production.
