The DA has again lost control of SA’s richest metro, Johannesburg, following the ousting of Executive Mayor Mpho Phalatse in a motion of no confidence on Thursday — this time to an unlikely candidate.
Phalatse’s removal comes barely three months after she successfully had a motion of no confidence against herBefore this, Phalatse faced several other motions of no confidence— some failed and some were withdrawn. On the process leading up to his being named, Amad said: “It was a very difficult process, we had to engage, consult and do it again and again.
Despite voting with the DA, ActionSA’s Gauteng leader, Bongani Baloyi, said that following the ousting of Phalatse their coalition had ceased to exist and they would consider fielding their own candidate. Before the vote that ousted her, Phalatse gave her first speech of the year, in which she acknowledged the plight of Johannesburg residents since her term of office began. She pleaded with the councillors to take decisions that favoured residents and not their own political ambitions.
